Chapter 26: A Little Party!
The little fat man was playing with toys, and when he heard his father's reminder, he turned around and greeted Qu Lianjie in a milky voice:
"Uncle Lian Jie has a good New Year~"
At this time, Qu Lianshun happened to call, so he stood up and said to his son:
"You and Uncle Lianjie have a good time here, Dad will go to the side to answer the phone~"
After Qu Lianjie waited for Brother Shunzi to leave, he saw that the child was very cute, so he directly hugged him to his lap and said very gently:
"Happy New Year, tell your uncle what your name is?"
"My name is Qu Zeyang, and my nickname is Yangyang!" Qu Zeyang didn't recognize his life at all, probably because his father was next to him.
While teasing the child in his arms, Qu Lianjie took out his wallet from his pocket and counted two thousand in cash.
After Qu Lianshun came back after making the call, he handed it over directly, and said with a sincere face:
"Brother Shunzi, I didn't prepare anything for the child when we met for the first time, you take this money, it should be a meeting gift for my eldest nephew!"
Qu Lianshun frowned and pushed the money back directly, refusing very seriously:
"Lian Jie, what are you doing here, hurry up and put the money away~"
At this time, Qu Lianshun's wife Qi Hong, who was busy in the kitchen, also noticed the two people tearing here, and after coming over, she also understood what was going on.
Stretched out his hand to hold his son into his arms, looked down at Qu Lianjie who was sitting on the small bench and persuaded:
"Lian Jie, you just listen to your brother Shunzi, hurry up and put the money away~"
When Qu Lianjie heard this, he stood up and stuffed the money directly into Ozawayang's clothes, and said with a smile to Qu Lianshun and his wife:
"Brother Shunzi, sister-in-law, this money for the New Year is the New Year's money I give to my children, let's not pull back and forth, otherwise I will be embarrassed to come again next time~"
Qi Hong took out the money from her son's arms and glanced at her husband on the side, meaning whether the money should be received or not.
Seeing that his wife asked his opinion, Qu Lianshun stood up and said to Qu Lianjie with some embarrassment:
"Lian Jie, even if it's New Year's money, it's too much, it's almost enough to catch up with your sister-in-law's monthly salary!"
Qu Lianjie first stretched out his hand to tease Xiao Zeyang in his mother's arms, and then turned his head and persuaded:
"Okay, Brother Shunzi, you can take it quickly, I didn't come to your house to eat at the beginning!"
Qu Lianshun heard Qu Lianjie say this, thought for a moment and nodded to his wife.
Qi Hong put the money in his son's hands again, and bowed his head and taught:
"Don't hurry up, thank you Uncle Lianjie!"
Ozawa now has a concept of money, looking at the pile of money in his hand, he knows that this red ticket can buy a lot of delicious and fun toys, so he said very happily:
"Thank you, Uncle Lianjie!"
Qu Lianjie smiled when he heard this, stretched out his right hand and pointed at his face:
"Then do you want to kiss Uncle Lianjie~"
"Po~" Xiao Zeyang obediently leaned over and hugged Qu Lianjie's neck and kissed him.
After chatting a few words, Qu Lianshun's wife took her son back to the house, probably to discuss with her son about keeping the New Year's money.
Qu Lianjie, who was outside the courtyard, waited for the mother and son to leave, gently slapped Qu Lianshun's shoulder, and joked:
"Brother Shunzi, you are really blessed, my sister-in-law is very virtuous at first glance, and she is also beautiful, and she gave birth to such a lovely son as Zeyang!"
"Then look~" Qu Lianshun looked proud, this is also one of the few places he can show off.
After that, the two brothers chatted about interesting things when they were children, and Qu Lianjie immediately suggested:
"Brother Shunzi, it's okay today, call Erlong and Xiao Wu to my house, let's have a drink together!"
"It just so happens that my dad has good wine, so I'll kill it for him today!"
When Qu Lianshun heard Qu Lianjie's words, he hesitated a little and didn't agree at the first time, because he felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't know why he had changed so much when he came back this time.
Because since Qu Lianjie left his hometown at the age of 12 to go to the magic capital, he was able to play with everyone when he first came back, but then with the flow of time, he slowly became estranged from everyone.
Especially in recent years, although it is not enough to say hello when walking on the road, the faint sense of superiority is particularly uncomfortable.
Qu Lianjie also noticed the hesitation on the face of his childhood partner, and felt that the "original body" had gone too far before, they were all small, and people didn't ask you for help, so why did they look like they were rejecting people thousands of miles away.
So he took the initiative to explain:
"Brother Shunzi, I was ignorant a few years ago, and since I went to the magic capital, I have been estranged from everyone, this time I came back to see the grass and trees in my hometown, I recalled the happy times when I was a child, and I also felt that what I did in the past few years was really wrong, and I want to apologize to everyone!"
Qu Lianshun saw that what he said was not like a lie, so he nodded:
"That's okay, I'll call Erlong and them, but don't go to your house, let your sister-in-law cook two good dishes later, and let's have some drinks at my house!"
Qu Lianjie shook his head and did not agree:
"Don't bother my sister-in-law, there is a fifth master, and there are a lot of people who come to your house to pay New Year's greetings, and we can't stop eating!"
"It's better to go to my house, it's cleaner there, we can let it go, and my dad's good wine is blind if he doesn't drink it!"
"That's okay~" Qu Lianshun felt that what Qu Lianjie said made sense, and his own home was indeed a little inconvenient.
After that, the two soldiers split into two ways, and Qu Lianshun went upstairs to report to his wife that he was going out for a drink.
Qu Lianjie returned to the living room, walked to his father who was chatting with the elders, and whispered in his ear:
"Dad, I'm going to get together with Brother Shunzi, Erlong, and Xiao Wu at our house, give me your car keys, and I'll take two bottles of wine~"
"Huh?" Qu Datou was a difference in his face, although he knew that his son had changed a lot in the past two months, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
When he went back to his hometown for the New Year before, some of his friends when he was a child came to look for him, but he didn't necessarily want to go, so how could he take the initiative to invite someone to dinner this time.
Although he was a little confused, Qu Datou felt that it was good for his son to change, so he handed over the car keys to his son and instructed:
"Drink less~"
"Don't worry, we're mainly chatting~" Qu Lianjie took the key and responded.
Zheng Fen was sitting next to Qu Datou, and also heard the conversation between their father and son, turned his head to his son and said:
"There's some leftovers at home, so I'll go back and make some for you!"
Qu Lianjie hurriedly refused:
"No need Mom, you are here, I have cooked food in the car, just cut a little bit of it, everyone is chatting together~"
On the way home, Qu Lianjie passed by the supermarket in the village, bought some peanuts, and took a few bottles of Moutai from his father's car when he got home.
After that, I went to the kitchen and cut some cooked food, heated up the leftovers from yesterday, and put them on the table, which was also considered to be eight dishes.
At this time, he heard the sound of someone opening the door, Qu Lianjie greeted him from the restaurant, and then saw Qu Erlong, who lived relatively close, walking in from the door with some fruit in his hand.
Although the two are of the same age, he is a generation younger than Qu Lianjie, so the title when they meet is:
"Uncle Lian Jie, Happy New Year~"
Before Qu Lianjie could speak, Qu Lianshun also walked in with a few people, and several people greeted each other.
After that, Qu Lianwu, who had a more out-of-the-box personality, complained to Qu Erlong, who came first:
"I said Erlong, you should really look at your ears, no matter how we call you in the back, you won't look back~"
