But I haven't eaten for a long time, and I can't help but miss the taste of these steamed dishes.

No, I accidentally did more today.

"Now we have one more person in our family, you can cook eight dishes, if there are two more or three more next year, our family will not be able to put this table."

"It's okay, if there are more people next year, let's go to Xinghai Garden for the New Year, the big table over there can be set."

Xu Huiying didn't bother to tease her eyelids, and she didn't care about Cong Qi's mouth full of trains.

Ji and Bei glanced at Cong Qi.

I only got married in June, and I will have one more person in my family for the Chinese New Year next year, which seems unrealistic.

He asked Cong Qi sideways: "Why don't you get married a little earlier?" ”

Cong Qi: ???

Ji and Bei: "Don't you want the child to be there during the Chinese New Year?" ”

“……”

What child?

Cong Qi reacted for two seconds and finally understood.

Shame and annoyance, he hammered and Bei: "I'm kidding, oh, how did you get the point wrong, eat your meal." ”

After saying that, he retaliated and picked up a piece of thick and fat, without a trace of skinny buckle meat and put it in the and north bowl to gag his mouth.

A skit is being played on TV.

The woman in red bib pants and braids sang "What melons are planted on the ground", and the man answered, "This problem can't stop me".

In the cramped living room, the family is eating warmly, watching TV, and chatting about plans for next year......

After eating, Cong Zhiyuan looked for a deck of playing cards.

I plan to fight the landlord to pass the time and wait for the arrival of the New Year.

In previous years, it was also a family of three fighting landlords until twelve o'clock, not playing with money, but playing with peanuts or melon seeds, and only went back to sleep after listening to "Unforgettable Tonight".

This year, there is more Ji and Bei, and the process has not changed, but the people who play cards have been replaced by him, Cong Zhiyuan and Xu Huiying.

As for Cong Qi, he looked at Dad's cards with a drink for a while, looked at Mom's cards for a while, and finally looked at Ji and Bei's.

She doesn't tell anyone else about the cards in their hand.

But every time I saw the big and small ghosts and the four twos, or other bombs, the eyes began to gurgle, and from time to time there was a smug expression on the little mouse stealing the oil, which made it difficult for people not to pay attention.

Ji and Bei are dual-minded, observing Cong Qi's expression while playing cards.

I found that as long as I understood her expression, I could accurately judge what was in my father-in-law's hands without counting cards.

After a few times, Xu Huiying also discovered Cong Qi's little spy.

Drove her directly to the and north side.

also ruthlessly drew lines on the sofa and asked her not to come over to look at the cards again.

Cong Qi's eyes widened.

She felt that she was too wronged, more wronged than Dou E.

"Mom, I obviously didn't say anything, how can I be a spy, if you lose your cards and you're not happy, you're not happy, what are you doing to wronged me, I'm so pitiful."

Xu Huiying glanced at her with a smile.

looked at his son-in-law who was smiling at the corner of his mouth and said, "You didn't say it with your mouth, but your eyes said it!" ”

Cong Qi: "...... Do I have one? ”

Mom is so determined, Cong Qi can't help but doubt herself, is she really subconsciously making her eyes?

But if you really want to understand it with one look, doesn't that mean that the two of them have a 100% tacit understanding?

Thinking like this, the confusion on Cong Qi's face instantly became beautiful.

“…… That must be me and Beibei have a soul, Mom, or you also cheat with your eyes? We, the elders, don't see it! ”

Old?

Xu Huiying &...... in his early forties, who are in their prime: This daughter is so annoying, she must be cleaned up after the first day of junior high school.

Ji and North smiled slightly.

Is that what can be said?

Looking at Cong Qi, who was smiling proudly, he chose to mentally support her courage to challenge her parents!

Chapter 43

It was almost ten o'clock when the yard began to come alive.

At this point, every family finished eating, and the children rushed out to play with fireworks.

Firecrackers and fireworks are not allowed in Rongcheng City, because fireworks and firecrackers caused many fires during the Chinese New Year, which were stipulated in 93 and officially implemented in 94.

Until now, Cong Qi has not played the kind of fireworks that explode into the air with a bang for three years.

However, it is no problem to sneak a fireworks stick in your hand and a floor firework with a height of no more than two meters.

Cong Qi opened the door, walked to his yard, and lay on the wooden fence to watch the curly leaves and leaves having fun.

I'm still a little tickling in my heart.

But Ji and North probably haven't had the New Year for many years, so there is no concept of making an atmosphere for the New Year.

In such a big car of New Year's goods delivered, there was everything, but there were no fireworks sticks and no guns......

Thinking that he was lonely in the past, maybe he didn't celebrate the New Year seriously, Cong Qi was considerate and didn't complain.

"Sister Worm, do you want one?"

Probably because the essence of her envious eyes was too strong, Qu Siyuan turned his head and asked.

Cong Qi is the one who quickly climbs the ladder when he has it, unlike many adults who feel embarrassed, and then say "no need" reservedly.

She doesn't.

She nodded her head quickly: "Yes, thank you Siyuan." ”

Qu Siyuan handed her two.

Then let Cong Qi hold it, he took out a match and helped light it.

I only heard the sound of "zi-".

When the flame burns the top of the paper, there is a zig-la-zila sound, and the sparks begin to flicker.

Cong Qi held a firework stick and spun in circles in the air.

Change the movement again to draw a heart.

This kind of fireworks stick to play with in the hand is not expensive, one dime a piece. But it burned quickly, and it went out less than two minutes after ignition.

So the children are all handfuls in their hands, and dozens of them play slowly.

After the burning in Cong Qi's hand was exhausted, his eyes couldn't help revealing that he was still unfinished.

Seeing this, Qu Ye Ye stuffed her with a small handful.

At a cursory glance, there must be about twenty of them.

"Sister Worm, the matches will be given to you too, you can play by yourself, let's go over there to play."

Curved leaves are particularly generous today.

In fact, in previous years, Qu Siyuan and her would not have so many fireworks sticks.

One person in their family pays a salary, three people go to school, and five mouths eat, and to be honest, the pressure is quite high.

And Geng Youqin was afraid that other neighbors would look down on her, and she valued face very much.

I can't be as open-minded as some people do, and show my careful thoughts about being cheap.

Therefore, she never shows the side of the family's financial constraints, and the neighbors give a few children snacks and small toys, and if she is present, she will directly refuse. If you are not present, then let Qu Siyuan and the three of them accept the things, and when they meet the person who delivered the things the next day, they will say something like this:

- Ouch, I don't even dare to play these games for them because their grades have dropped recently, and you love them the most.

Or:

——Very picky eater, Lao Qu and I change the way to cook different dishes every day, as soon as you come, oh open, the results go back to thirty years ago.

Once or twice, others may not understand.

But after many times, I actually knew that she wanted to collect things and didn't want people to think that she was greedy.

Deliberately created a situation of "you have to send me".

Diaphragm, right?

That's there.

However, even if the neighbors in the courtyard showed her careful thoughts, they still had no opinion on Qu Siyuan's sisters and brothers.

After all, in all respects, compared with Wu Yang's heavenly stick (1), the three sisters and brothers of the Qu family really belong to obedient children.

Not to mention, Qu Miaomiao and Qu Siyuan have always studied very well, and they are among the best in the class in every semester exam.

In the case that every household has a teacher, such as Cong Qi, who has won favor by selling cuteness since he was a child, is a special case.

Seriously, everyone will naturally have a better impression of children who study well.

Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Geng Youqin's small calculations of secret pokes and pokes.

This year, Qu Siyuan's sisters and brothers have a lot of fireworks sticks, one is because Qu Miaomiao is married, and the other is because his uncle is visiting relatives.

The family is well-off, and Geng Youqin is more generous than before in pocket money.

Why the sudden abundance?

In fact, it's because of Geng Laoer.
