Chapter 201 New Year’s Eve 2
As the two of them walked home one after another, the sound of crackling firecrackers could be heard outside the house as soon as they entered the house.
“I’m back, just in time, go wash your hands and eat.” Zhou Hui greeted Ning Xi, and then shouted to the main room, “Xiao Xu, stop playing with the firecrackers and set them off.”
"Okay." Lu Xu responded, and several men took the firecrackers out of the house and placed them outside the courtyard gate.
Here the meals were all served. Lu Zhenghua ordered, Lu He took the match to lit the firecrackers, rushed into the house with a smoke, and closed the door with a touch.
As soon as it was served, Lu Xiaoyu said excitedly, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, eat quickly, we will set off the fireworks later. I just watched it quietly, there are a lot of fireworks in the house."
Lu Lin pretended to be mysterious and said, "Big brother said that he brought those fireworks back from the city and said they are more interesting than the fireworks sold in the town."
“Fireworks are fun, but you also have to eat.” Chen Jing smiled and served the two children some food.
Lu Lin took a bite of the chicken leg and tugged at Ning Xi's clothes. "Third sister-in-law, will you set off fireworks with us later?"
“You can set off your own fireworks, but I don’t dare.” Ning Xi has been able to stand at a distance and watch others set off fireworks since she was a child. The things looked scary, so she didn’t dare to go.
Lu Lin hurriedly said, "The third brother asked us to take you to set off the fireworks together. The third brother also said that he is not at home, so we must take good care of you."
"I think you guys can do it, but I'm really scared." The corners of Ning Xi's lips raised slightly. That person probably thought that she wanted to set off fireworks, and because he couldn't accompany her to set off fireworks, he actually arranged for Lu Lin to do so. The little guy took her to set off fireworks.
The two little boys also worked hard to set off the fireworks. They ate big gulps and soon their bellies were full. They ran around and played in the yard for a long time and urged Lu Bei several times. Lu Bei finally put down his bowl. Chopsticks and two little boys carried the fireworks outside.
After Ning Xi finished eating, she was pulled to the door by Zhang Ying and Chen Jing to watch the children set off fireworks. In just a short while, many children came outside, surrounding Lu Bei one by one. They were waiting for Lu Bei to light the fireworks and saw the fireworks. Lifting into the air, everyone was jumping and dancing so happily.
Seeing the children jumping around outside, Chen Jing couldn't help but exclaimed, "It was better when I was a child. I didn't have any worries. During the Chinese New Year, I have delicious food and new clothes. I can laugh happily when I can see the fireworks." "
"We are not bad now! We don't have to worry about food or clothing. Although we are a little tired, it is all worth it." Zhang Ying thought that the good life now was brought about by Ning Xi, and couldn't help but hold Ning Xi's arm. "Xiao Xi, it's all thanks to you that I can live the life I have now. I will always remember your goodness."
Chen Jing touched her belly and was filled with joy, "Yes! If it weren't for Xiao Xi, I wouldn't have dared to stand here and watch Xiaoyu and the others set off fireworks this year, so! Xiao Xi, your kindness will be remembered well." "
Chen Jing likes children. She used to be worried about her infertility. Whenever she saw children gathered together, she would subconsciously avoid them because she was afraid of being uncomfortable. Now that she has children herself, she naturally doesn’t need to be there. avoid.
Ning Xi was a little helpless, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what are you doing? It's all a family saying this."
“It’s emotion, emotion.”
“Yes, it’s just a matter of emotion.”
“Sister-in-law is here to set off fireworks.” Lu Lin shouted, and Zhang Ying immediately went out to set off fireworks with the children, and the conversation between the three women ended.
“Xiao Jing, Yingzi, Xiao Xi, come in and play cards.”
Except for Lu Zhenhai and his friends, who were still drinking at their table, the other two tables had already left. They had already washed the dishes for the weekly meeting. They were also preparing for entertainment. They had to stay up late during the New Year, and the children could play until twelve o'clock. After going to bed, adults will also find various entertainments to wait until the New Year's Eve is over before going to bed.
Men usually spend their time at the wine table. What a woman!
Either chatting or playing cards. Ning Xi doesn't know how to play cards. In order to prevent her from being bored, Ning Xiuhe sat aside and taught her step by step as a strategist.
Because she played late at night, Ning Xi slept until noon the next day and was woken up by Tang Xiangqin.
After she washed up, Ning Xiuhe and Tang Xiangqin also brought breakfast to the table.
Their family was the only one at the table, including Lei Zi, Zhou Wanglong, Tang Xiangqin, Lu Zhenghua, and Secretary Lu. They were either following their daughter-in-law back to their parents' home, or they were visiting relatives.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Xiuhe and Tang Xiangqin made glutinous rice dumplings for lunch, and the whole family sat around the table to eat the dumplings.
Lu Zhenghai seemed to have not drank for a long time. He drank too much last night and couldn't bear it. He looked a little depressed. He made himself a cup of tea without eating a few mouthfuls and took the stool to the yard to blow out the cold wind. .
Zhou Wanglong glanced at Lu Zhenghai outside and asked Ning Xi in a low voice, "Xiaoning, who is Xiaoqin?"
"Xiaoqin? I don't know." Ning Xi shook her head. She didn't know anything about Xiaoqin.
Leizi scratched his head and yawned, "Uncle Lu shouted Xiaoqin all night last night."
Zhou Wanglong also muttered, "He even held my hand to wipe his tears."
Before Ning Xi could react, Ning Xiuhe had already taken the lead and said, "It should be Yang Xiaoqin. Don't ask this in front of your Uncle Lu. Yang Xiaoqin is a thorn in his heart. Bringing it up will only make him angry." Uncomfortable."
Ning Xi was quite curious about Yang Xiaoqin, but since Lu Bei was also there, Ning Xi didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Zhou Wanglong asked stupidly, "Is Yang Xiaoqin the lover of Uncle Lu?"
“Don’t gossip.” Ning Xi glared at Zhou Wanglong and gave him a look to remind him that Lu Bei was still there.
Zhou Wanglong also realized that Lu Bei was still there at this time, and he smiled honestly and struggled with the glutinous rice balls.
I thought this topic had been solved, but Lu Bei actually said, "Yang Xiaoqin is my aunt and my father's favorite person."
Ning Xi hurriedly said, "Xiao Bei, that's a matter for adults, don't talk nonsense."
Lu Bei smiled nonchalantly, "Actually, I've heard everyone mention that the person my dad has always liked is my aunt. My dad went to the Yang family to propose marriage to his aunt, but it turned out that my mom fell in love with my dad and gave her to her. My dad gave me some medicinal wine, the kind of medicinal wine I gave to my eldest brother.”
"Because of this, my father had to take responsibility for my mother, and my aunt left home and never came back. When I was playing in Yangjiacun when I was a child, I heard the mother-in-law say that my aunt made a big fuss with the family when she left. "
“Besides, this is not the first time I heard my father calling the name Xiaoqin. He often murmurs this name in his dreams.”
Ning Xi, as the daughter-in-law, had no right to intervene in this matter, and the others couldn't say anything in front of Lu Bei, so they all chose to keep their mouths shut.
