Chapter Fifty-Eight: Joy
γZuo Mansionγ
"Qingqing, come down for a reunion dinner."
"Here we go." Ji Yunqing put down the book and ran down in a hurry, she was only on vacation at the age of twenty-nine, and Sister Yan also knew that she was obsessed with learning every day, so she didn't let her do anything, in short, she just studied hard, and she didn't have to worry about everything else.
"Master, madam, the young master hasn't come back yet." Aunt Bing set up the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Sister Yan and Brother Hua who were sitting on the sofa, Uncle Quan brought out a hard dish and went into the kitchen again.
"Hasn't Aoqi come back yet? Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't their company already on holiday? Ji Yunqing stood there with a blank face, anyway, it was about to start, so she decided to help Aunt Bing serve the food.
As he finished speaking, the door opened, followed by the crisp sound of the key slamming into the hallway. "I'm back, I shouldn't be late, right?"
Sister Yan came over and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm almost late." β
"Okay, okay, let's all come over for dinner." The family sits together, happy and warm, Zuo Mansion is usually rare to be so together, everyone has a happy smile on their faces, the time is very good, so the people are also very good.
Zuo Aoqi stood up and hurriedly ran away, and when he came back, he had already come over with several bags, "Dad, this is for you, a good Longjing, I think you should like it." "Of course he knows that Brother Hua likes to drink green tea, but the problem is that he doesn't like to drink tea very much, so he chooses tea at random." Mom, this is for you, this is a limited edition bag. Then he took out a white bag, "Here, Uncle Quan, this is yours." β
"Do I have it too?" Uncle Quan couldn't believe it.
"That's, you've been in our house for so long, of course there is, I heard that you like to play chess, this set of agate, I look very good, and it feels good." Uncle Quan took it with tears in his eyes, after all, he really couldn't believe such a valuable thing. "Aunt Bing, this is for you, this is a skin care product, I heard their salesman say that this is good for you, I don't know if it's real or fake, so I bought it anyway." Aunt Bing took it with a smile, she didn't often celebrate the New Year here, she didn't expect to receive gifts, they really regarded themselves as a family. Zuo Aoqi sat down after giving the gift.
"What about the clear ones?" Sister Yan watched him sit down, looked at her and asked.
Zuo Aoqi looked at Ji Yunqing and said with a smile: "Qingqing, I'll give it to you when you graduate from high school." β
"Huh? New Year's gift and graduation gift together? Young Master Zuo is worthy of being the chairman of the company, this transaction is not a loss! Ji Yunqing joked with a smile, in fact, she didn't want any gifts at all, so she just teased her.
"Don't lose, don't worry, when the time comes, I will still give it to you, I'm just afraid that if I give it to you now, in the next few months, you won't be able to study seriously."
"Cut."
"Qingqing, you started making up classes on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" Sister Yan looked at Ji Yunqing and nodded, and thought for a while, "Then won't you have a birthday this year?" β
"That's fine." Ji Yunqing smiled, she didn't care much about these things now, but it didn't matter.
"That's not good, you're eighteen years old this year, and this is related to the coming-of-age ceremony."
"Mom, if you don't want to, it's just a birthday, anyway, it's a birthday, I'll talk about it later."
"What does this look like, your birthday is on the day of the beginning of autumn, of course you don't care about this!" Ji Yunqing has been listening carefully, as if he heard something at this time, was it the day of "Liqiu"? It seems that this year can't be forgotten, and she silently keeps this time in her heart.
"It's just that it's someone who wants to go out and play at first glance."
"You're just going out to play."
Brother Hua smiled, it was different to have two children at home, and he was happy to look at the fighting, "Okay, you two, hurry, let's all move the chopsticks and eat." Everyone was waiting for this sentence, and as soon as Brother Hua said it, he brushed and moved his chopsticks, which was very New Year's atmosphere.
Yan Ze's New Year's Eve is no different from the usual New Year's Day, the only difference is that his grandfather is back, in fact, his grandfather is quite similar to him, and he is also a bookish in his life, even if he is already a seventy-year-old man, he is still very imposing when he wears the right clothes.
"Aze, have you talked about your girlfriend?" Grandpa suddenly popped up a question while eating, which really scared the three people present.
"Grandpa, are you still concerned about this?" Yan Ze put down his chopsticks, clasped his hands together, and rubbed his thumb there, he hadn't figured out what to say.
"That is, you are the only person in the Yan family's generation, of course I have to pay attention to your marriage, but don't worry, grandpa will not arrange for you to go on a blind date or anything, as long as you like it, you recognize it, bring it back to see, okay, let's get engaged."
"Grandpa, I'm still young, I'm only 20 years old."
"Eh, it's not small, it's 21 after the New Year, and then talk about it for a year or two, get married on the 23rd and 24th, it's almost."
Yan Ze smiled, he is twenty-three, Li Yu has not graduated from university yet, he is the same year as Zuo Aoqi, three years older than them, who can know this problem, besides, I don't know if Li Yu is willing to marry him. "Grandpa, let's not worry, in short, don't worry, I will definitely bring you a granddaughter-in-law back."
"Okay, okay, keep eating." Old man Yan is happy, everything is easy to say, the Yan family is all this kind of gentle people, the three generations are more like carved out of a mold, the only difference is the temperament, after years of precipitation and the temperament that has just stepped into the society is naturally not the same.
Since Bian Chen had already brought Duan Yizhe home last time, he simply celebrated the New Year together at Bian Chen's house this time.
However, no one could have imagined that in addition to Bian Chen's parents, there were seven aunts and eight aunts and uncles, Duan Yizhe glanced at Bian Chen very helplessly, and Bian Chen smiled at Duan Yizhe innocently, and that expression was telling him: "Don't look at me, I don't know anything." Duan Yizhe didn't know what to do at this moment, looking at the dozen or so people sitting in front of him, his brain was swollen, except when he was at work, his brain turned on and looked at people, his brain turned off as soon as he got off work, and he used to be a person before, and it was rare to see so many people, so now his brain is estimated to be able to tie a very good-looking bow.
"Xiaochen, don't you want to introduce this one?"
Bian Chen nodded and pulled Duan Yizhe up, although he knew that Duan Yizhe didn't like the environment of so many people after work, but there was no way, he was also cheated by his parents. "This is Duan Yizhe, my lover, you already know these two, this is my uncle, this is my aunt."
"Uncle is good, aunt is good." Then his uncle and aunt took out two red envelopes, and in an instant Duan Yizhe and Bian Chen understood the meaning behind his parents.
"This is the eldest uncle, the eldest aunt, this is the younger uncle and the younger aunt, this is the eldest aunt, the eldest uncle, the second aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt, the third aunt." Duan Yizhe said hello one by one, and also accepted their red envelopes, "This is the eldest cousin, this is the second cousin." β
"The eldest cousin is good, the second cousin is good" After this circle, I also received more than a dozen red envelopes.
"Duan Yizhe, it's a good name, what do you do?" Bian Chen's eldest cousin, who is in the army, also has a lot of say in the army, and it is estimated that she has been in the army for a long time, so she is very imposing, but this momentum is not worth mentioning at all in front of Duan Yizhe, because Duan Yizhe is more imposing than her.
"Yizhe now has his own studio, and then he also helps Bian Chen's company bring a female artist."
"Yes, my aunt is right." Duan Yizhe smiled and nodded.
"Yizhe, still called aunt? Isn't it time to change your tune? β
Duan Yizhe was stunned for a moment, he couldn't answer this, looked at Bian Chen, and found that Bian Chen was looking like he was watching a good show, and the anger came, but he couldn't get angry, he swept the expressions on the faces of everyone present again, and found that everyone was looking forward to it. "Mom, Dad." After saying this, he immediately lowered his head, and everyone immediately cheered, and Bian Dad and Bian Mu both took out red envelopes and kept smiling.
"Now it's good, I have two sons."
"Shouldn't you be very busy with female artists? Still have time to mess around with the side dust? "This is Bian Chen's second cousin, who has just graduated not long ago and is in graduate school.
"Actually, it's okay, but it's a bit of a lack of time."
"What's the name of the female artist you're bringing with you?"
"Guan Yuwei."
"Guan Yuwei? It's been half a year since your debut, so it looks like you're going to be busy right now. β
Duan Yizhe nodded awkwardly, he really didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, they didn't say anything later, everyone chatted happily together, except that Bian Chen was afraid that he was not used to serving him vegetables all the time, he didn't think there was anything bad.
Not long after the meal, Bian Chen left with Duan Yizhe.
"How are you tonight? Don't worry, we will rarely see them in the future, you don't have to be afraid, according to tonight's situation, everyone should accept it, you don't have to be nervous. Bian Chen shook Duan Yizhe's hand, looked at him and said.
"Ahem, I'm fine, but can you stop looking at me like that? I'm driving. Duan Yizhe shook his hand and let go, he was actually quite happy, at least, Bian Chen's family recognized him, and it could be regarded as half helpless and half happy in the free time that he had been so busy recently
