A Chinese New Year's Eve meal was satisfying to everyone, everyone's stomach was full of food, and their faces were also red.

Except for Qin Huai, who was too young to drink, the adults drank a few drinks unconsciously.

Da Chen Guo also has the custom of keeping the New Year, which makes Chen Youyi a little embarrassed.

If she had left early, Annette Mu would definitely be unhappy. If it is seen by the people in the village, knowing that the daughter-in-law of the Qin family is not even with the Qin family, there will be rumors about it.

But if she doesn't leave, if the time gets later and later, in case Mu Xiulian is proposing to let her live in Qin Ziheng's room, then how can she refuse?

After all, in Mu Xiulian's eyes, Chen Youyi is the daughter-in-law of Qin Ziheng's Ming Media, and it is normal for the two to live.

Mu Xiulian's dislike for the original owner is also based on the fact that the original owner is the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. If she didn't have this relationship, she wouldn't have any intersection with the original owner at all, and she wouldn't be so angry that she got sick.

There was still a boss for a while, and Qin Huai had already slept with his limbs spread out. Qin Ziheng was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he wrapped a piece of clothing and held it in his arms.

"Ziheng, put Xiaohuai on the bed." Mu Xiulian said in a low voice: "Whether you keep the year or not, it's a mind, which child didn't go to bed early, let him go." ”

Qin Ziheng said: "Xiaohuai said that he fell asleep a few years ago, and he must keep the New Year with everyone today, and specially explained to me not to carry him back to the room, and then wake him up when the child is young, I promised him." ”

If he hadn't woken him up tonight, and he would have gotten up tomorrow morning, Qin Huai would feel that he had been deceived.

"Whatever you want, the big and the small are all stubborn, and I don't know who they look like." Mu Xiulian knew what her eldest son had decided, and no one could change it, so they went.

Who is stubborn and temperamental, Chen Youyi doesn't know, but Qin Ziheng's taciturn personality is the same as Mu Xiulian, and he is definitely his own.

The mother and son got together and didn't say a few words, just occasionally talked for a sentence or two. Although the atmosphere is not dull, but very warm, there is no lively atmosphere of the New Year.

There is no way, Chen Youyi can only give full play to his not considered specialty, but compared with the mother and son of the Qin family, his speaking skills are already considered strong, and he is talking nonsense.

Driven by her, Qin Ziheng told some folk customs in the northwest and jokes in the army, and Mu Xiulian also told some interesting things about the village and Qin Huai, which finally brought the atmosphere up.

When he was about to arrive, Qin Ziheng woke up Qin Huai.

"Firecrackers?" Qin Huai rubbed his eyes, his expression was sleepy, but his eyes were shining, looking at Qin Ziheng expectantly.

Qin Huai didn't care about keeping the year or something, but he wanted to set off firecrackers. In the past few years, there were only two people in their family, Mu Xiulian and him, and these can be saved. Qin Huai could only listen to the sound outside, and then go to listen to the show off of his friends the next day.

Being able to light firecrackers is a great thing for children like them.

This year, Qin Ziheng came back, Mu Xiulian agreed to buy firecrackers, and Qin Huai didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"When the hour comes, you can light the fire." Qin Ziheng took out the firecrackers, he bought the most ordinary five hundred rings, and most of the ones in the village were like this. And in the town and county, there are many tricks, a thousand rings, ten thousand rings, and there are not a few.

is such the most ordinary firecracker, which can already bloom in Qin Huaile.

"Crackling!"

As soon as the time came, every household in the village began to set off firecrackers as if they had agreed, and the sound of explosions was continuous. Qin Huai took the lit incense stick expectantly and nervously, stepped forward cautiously, and lit the lead with the incense stick.

"Zizi." The fuse ignited immediately, Qin Huai hurriedly ran to the side, and immediately after, the sound of the Qin family's firecrackers also became loud, mixed into this piece of red dust scattered everywhere.

"Great, I'll light firecrackers too!" Qin Huai happily ran around the yard twice, and there was still a little scrap of paper stuck to his hair.

Qin Ziheng fished the person over and said, "Okay, the year is also guarded, and the firecrackers have been released, you should go to sleep." ”

Qin Huai was originally a strong spirit, and after a while of dipping his pillow, he fell asleep again, and Mu Xiulian covered the quilt for him.

After Qin Huai fell asleep, Chen Youyi's heart began to beat faster, and sure enough, after Mu Xiulian took care of Qin Huai, she turned to Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng and said, "Okay, it's so late, you guys should also go and rest." It's so late today, so I don't have to go back there. ”

"This, I'll ......" Chen Youyi just wanted to use the excuse of recognizing the bed and changing places for fear of not being able to sleep, but Qin Ziheng on the other side spoke before her.

"It's okay later, I'll just send her over." Qin Ziheng said: "Mother, you go to sleep first, I'll go home after sending her." ”

Mu Xiulian paused for a moment, probably because she didn't expect her son to refuse, and after thinking about it, she thought that her son was still worried about the past, so she didn't insist: "Okay, you guys should be careful on the road." ”

"Let's go." Qin Ziheng looked back at Chen Youyi, Chen Youyi came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.

There was no moonlight on Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were no lights in the middle of the night, so Qin Ziheng smoked a piece of firewood and lit it in a charcoal basin as a torch.

Along the way, Chen Youyi was in a complicated mood, she originally planned to refuse, and she was not Qin Ziheng's real wife. But hearing that Qin Ziheng took the initiative to refuse, she was a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you today, my mother and Xiaohuai are very happy." Qin Ziheng held the torch and walked forward steadily: "Since I went to join the army, it is the first time that I have a family reunion and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

His slightly low voice sounded in the night, and quickly dissipated into the night, and it seemed to dissipate in Chen Youyi's heart, strangely making her calm down a little.

"It's nothing, I'm happy to see them happy." Chen Youyi bent the corners of her mouth and blurted out sincerely: "This is the first time my family has eaten Chinese New Year's Eve, and I finally understand what the mood of those people who squeeze the Spring Festival every year is like." ”

As soon as the words came out, she first noticed that she had slipped out, but the words she said could not be recovered, and everything that should have been heard had already been heard. Is this a drunken confession? You shouldn't have drunk those two cups of rice wine!

The wine just now ran away without a trace in an instant, and Chen Youyi could still feel a cold sweat running through her back that didn't exist.

"For the first time?" Qin Ziheng didn't understand the meaning of the second half of the sentence, but he understood the first half of the sentence, but he thought a little too much.

Of course, there will be a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the palace, not only the palace dignitaries will dine together, but also the guests. For this honor, I don't know how many people sharpen their heads and drill into it.

Qin Ziheng has always been guarding the border and has never participated in this kind of banquet, but he still knows it. So he thinks that Chen Youyi is talking about the 'first time', which means that he has not eaten alone with his parents.
