Chapter 184: Year after Year
The driver and the secretary sent Qin Kang to put down his things and left, except for the old lady and the old man, everyone else came out to greet Qin Kang.
Qin Kang was wearing a black down jacket, which was a standard leadership outfit, and he looked extraordinary when he looked at him in a high position for many years.
Every gesture has a kind of inside-out superiority momentum, giving people a very mature and stable feeling, especially the eyes are exceptionally sharp, and most ordinary people probably dare not look directly at them.
The others greeted Qin Kang one after another, and Qin Kang responded unhurriedly, and then walked straight to Su Qin.
Su Qin respectfully shouted, "Uncle." ”
Qin Kang didn't speak, just looked Su Qin up and down with a trademark smile on his face, and then nodded and said, "Well, yes, it looks quite energetic." ”
Su Qin smiled, but he felt that his uncle made people feel a little distance, not as kind as seeing his aunt and cousin, maybe it had something to do with his uncle's identity.
Qin Kang patted Su Qin's shoulder at this time and continued: "It's good to come back, it seems that I am already familiar with life in China." ”
Pan Yining couldn't stand it and said: "Su Qin is your nephew, not your subordinate, you speak in a tone like educating young cadres, you don't look like an uncle, if others hadn't seen Su Qin's uncle for so many years, they would have been excited and cried, you are very old-fashioned." ”
Qin Lei immediately echoed: "Mom, hasn't my dad always been like this? When did you see us otherwise? People are big leaders, they just like to preach to others. ”
Qin Kang was a little embarrassed in an instant, maybe he had developed a habit of staying in such a position for a long time, so that he was like this with his family.
Everyone else laughed.
Qin Kang hurriedly explained: "Su Qin, don't listen to your aunt and cousin, your uncle will always be your uncle." ”
Qin Qing smiled and played the round, and everyone entered the living room with laughter.
Qin Kang walked quickly to the old man and the old lady to say hello, the old man and the old lady have always loved and doted on their grandchildren, but they have always taken this son seriously, maybe all the elders are like this.
The old man asked very seriously: "This year, you go home for the New Year, and the work over there has been arranged?" ”
"It's all arranged, but I have to rush back in my second year of junior high school." Qin Kang said truthfully.
The leaders in his position are busier than ordinary people during the New Year's holidays, and in previous years, whether it was Chinese New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, they had to comfort the grassroots.
The old lady was still kind, and said with a smile: "It's rare that we have such a New Year this year, it's already very good that you can rush back, just don't delay too much work." ”
"Mom, don't worry, I've arranged everything." Qin Kang replied in a deep voice.
The old lady looked at everyone at this time and wondered, "What are you all standing for?" On this Chinese New Year's Eve, do whatever you want, and the couplet at the door has not yet been posted. ”
Only then did everyone get busy again, the aunt took the aunt and cousin to the kitchen to help Zhou's mother and Sister Song prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Su Qin and his cousin posted couplet blessing characters outside, and the uncle took the group to chat with the old man and the old lady, and the whole old bungalow became lively again.
At this moment, the entire East China Sea is immersed in the festive atmosphere, Huaihai Road is full of lights and decorations for the Spring Festival, and the whole city seems to be not as lively as in the past, because most people have gone home for the New Year.
In the old bungalow, CCTV's annual Spring Festival must-have program "Year after Year" is being broadcast on TV, introducing the different Spring Festival customs and atmosphere of thousands of households in the north and south of the country.
At this time, the steaming Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready.
I only heard Pan Yining shouting to everyone in the living room: "It's time to eat." ”
Everyone smiled and moved to the dining room, only to see that the table was full of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, thinking that this was the case for all families in the Federation at this time.
The old lady and the old man naturally sat in the main seat, Su Qin sat next to his uncle, who let the old man have already opened a bottle of treasured wine, and Su Qin will definitely have to accompany his uncle to drink a few more glasses later.
Except for the little girl who drank drinks, the other women were red wine.
When everyone sat down, Qin Kang poured wine for the old man and said with a smile: "Dad, it's rare that this year's New Year is so lively, can you tell us a few words?" ”
The old man stood up with his wine glass, and said slowly with a happy smile on his face: "You may not know, today's meeting is the scene that I and the old woman have been looking forward to for many years, I thought there was no hope in this life, but I didn't expect to be able to realize my dream this year." ”
The old lady subconsciously looked at Su Qin with some emotion, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and Pan Yining next to her persuaded: "Mom, you should be happy, why are you crying?" ”
The old lady hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Yes, yes, I'm happy." ”
The old man continued at this time: "There is nothing special to say, this glass of wine first welcomes Su Qin home, I hope we can do this every New Year, and secondly, I hope Yu'er can come back soon, so that our family will really be reunited, and finally I hope that your children's life will be smooth sailing in the future, happy New Year, cheers." ”
"Cheers."
"Happy New Year."
The crowd raised their glasses in cheers.
Then everyone was more casual, Su Qin took the wine glass and saluted his grandparents first, and then saluted the others, who made him the youngest in this family except Tuan Tuan.
Just when everyone was eating and chatting and watching TV, Yu'er, who was far away in Monaco, sent a video, and the whole restaurant became lively again.
After Yu'er finished paying a visit to her grandparents, everyone chatted with Yu'er for a while, and they all said that they hoped that Yu'er would come back soon, or how good would it be if Yu'er was here?
Yu'er over there was about to cry with envy when she saw this scene, she had never had such a lively Spring Festival, but seeing that everyone was so happy, she could only restrain her emotions and chat with everyone.
When everyone was almost talking, Su Qin walked to the living room with the video and asked, "Where's grandpa?" ”
"I've slept." Yu'er, who was wearing brand new clothes but couldn't return to China for the New Year, pouted and said.
Monaco is six hours faster than the domestic time difference, and Su Qin wanted to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather, so he could only wait until tomorrow.
Su Yu'er asked with red eyes, "Brother, when can I go back to celebrate the New Year like you?" ”
Su Qin said with some distress: "It's almost time, I'll take you back when my brother finishes dealing with those trivial matters." ”
"Okay." Even though she knew that this was a comforting word, Su Yu'er nodded obediently.
Su Qin chatted with her sister for a while and hung up the video, the more her sister was wronged, the more distressed she became, but the current environment really didn't dare to take her back, so she could only wait.
Then Su Qin returned to the restaurant, the Spring Festival Gala had begun, and everyone was chatting and watching the Spring Festival Gala while eating.
Su Qin waited until the time was about the same, so he took advantage of everyone's inattention to tell his cousin that there was something going out and coming back immediately, and of course he also explained to his cousin what was going on.
Qin Lei can somewhat understand, and the place where Qin Sheng is going is a hotel a few hundred meters away, and it won't take long to come back, so he doesn't take it seriously.
After Su Qin went out, he went straight to the hotel where Chen Qiming and the others were, and because the others couldn't go home for the New Year, of course he had to accompany everyone to be lively, so he booked a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the hotel in advance, which would have everyone already waiting for him.
But what he didn't know was that the danger didn't disappear because of the Chinese New Year.
