Three days passed in a flash.
After entertaining relatives and friends, the Qin family was free.
During these three days, everyone chatted at home, talked about interesting things, and lived a warm and comfortable life.
Today is New Year's Eve, everyone in the Qin family got up early, let the servants help with the last wave of cleaning in the morning, and let them have a holiday after lunch.
The Qin family is very considerate of these helpers. They also have their own families. Every New Year's Eve, they will have a holiday and let them go home.
In previous years, at the New Year's Eve dinner every year, Qin's father would accompany Qin's mother to work in the kitchen, and Qin Xiaobao would occasionally help out with errands.
Grandpa Qin is an elder, and he is old, so naturally he wouldn't do these things. He would look at the flowers and play with the birds in the garden.
Qin Yue was busy in the study, whether it was New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, he was never free.
In Qin Xiaobao's words, her brother has countless zeros in the account every second, so if he delays for a minute, he will lose a lot, so let him be busy.
This year is different.
Today, Jane is busy with Qin's mother in the kitchen, while Qin's father is drinking tea and playing chess with Grandpa Qin in the garden leisurely.
After self-healing, Qin Xiaobao has regained his former vitality. He runs here and there for a while, and will always be a happy fruit for his family.
The most different person from previous years must be Qin Yue.
Instead of being busy in the study like in previous years, he took the newspaper and sat in the living room to read it.
When Qin Xiaobao passed by the living room, he was taken aback: "Brother, did the sun come out from the west today?"
A person who would never show up before dinner time in previous years is sitting in the living room reading a newspaper today. This is simply explosive news.
Qin Yue looked at the newspaper and ignored her.
He doesn't care about others, and Qin Xiaobao won't let him go easily.
She squeezed to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you not busy with work today? Are you not dealing with big things?"
"If you want to sit, sit properly." Qin Yue said without raising his head, "If you can't sit well, go to the kitchen and help your mother and your sister-in-law."
"It turns out that I feel sorry for my sister-in-law who is tired." Qin Xiaobao snatched the newspaper in his hand, "If you care about my sister-in-law, go into the kitchen and have a look. You sit here like this, how does she know that you care about her?"
Qin Yue raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaobao with serious eyes: "Qin Xiaobao, do you want to be punished to face the wall and think about your mistakes on New Year's Eve?"
"Hey, what's the matter with you two?" Jian Ran came out with a plate, and saw Qin Yue's gloomy face, saying that she had thought about something.
Qin Xiaobao immediately said: "Sister-in-law, brother said he loves you."
"Yeah." Jian Ran nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, "I know."
Qin Yue's face suddenly darkened, and he didn't speak or look at them.
He felt uncomfortable, how long did these two people know each other, and it was such a short time that made him feel as if they were on the same line, while he was the one separated.
"Xiaobao, these are pearl balls made by mother herself. Let me take them out for you to taste first." Jian Ran said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Qin Xiaobao took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with satisfaction, "Mom's meatballs are still delicious."
"Have you washed your hands? Can you talk while eating? Where did you forget the etiquette in primary school?" Qin Yue looked like a strict brother.
Jian Ran has never seen him like this before, when she looked at him, her eyes were a bit inquisitive, so it turns out that he is also a murderer.
It's just that this kind of fierceness is not considered fierce, but as the eldest brother to educate the younger sister.
Qin Xiaobao pouted, got up and ran: "I don't want to play with such a big log like you. I'm going to play chess with grandpa and father."
Qin Xiaobao ran away, leaving only Qin Yue and Jian Ran in the hall.
Qin Yue opened the newspaper again and read it intently.
Jian Ran sat next to him, picked up a pill: "Do you want to eat?"
Qin Yue opened his mouth to bite the ball, but Jian Ran suddenly withdrew her hand.
She said, "Are you still angry?"
Qin Yue frowned: "I'm not angry." He was just uncomfortable, as if her relationship with Xiaobao was better than with him.
Jian Ran smiled softly, and asked again: "Is that just because you don't want to admit that you love me?"
Qin Yue's brows frowned even tighter: "No."
Jian Ran got closer to him, and said softly: "Qin Yue, in fact, it is a very happy thing for me to be able to cook with my mother and cook for the whole family."
New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion, and many ordinary families will cook a reunion dinner on this day.
In fact, it is not to eat this meal, but to enjoy the good time when the family gets together.
It's boring to let servants do everything, so Mother Qin will cook for her family every year.
What you eat is not food, but love.
The family had a reunion dinner and sat around watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Thousands of households are like this, plain and warm, in fact, this is a kind of happiness.
"As long as you're happy," he said.
"Then eat." Jane picked up a ball and fed it into his mouth.
After he swallowed it, she said, "I didn't wash my hands either."
Knowing that he has a cleanliness habit, she said this on purpose, ran away after leaving the words, and looked back at him, seeing that his face was really ugly.
She added, "I'm teasing you. Mr. Qin, please don't be angry. "
Qin Yue's face sank again, and he didn't even look at her, but after she left, the corners of his lips raised slightly unconsciously.
On the day of the reunion dinner, the Qin family will also break the rule of not chatting at the dinner table. The family sits together and chats, happy and warm.
After eating, Jian Ran knew that Qin's mother was not in good health, so she took the initiative to take over the responsibility of cleaning up the dishes.
How could Qin Yue let his wife be busy alone? He also took the initiative to help, wash the dishes by himself and clean up by himself.
Jane looked at him: "You've never done these things at home before."
Qin Yue shook his head: "No."
"I'm so happy." She felt how lucky she was. What he had never done had already been broken for her when the two of them made love.
After tidying up, Qin Wan also started. The family sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, chatting while watching.
For example, how is the host, how is the star singing, and the topics of conversation are the same as many people.
When the New Year's bell rang, Qin Xiaobao immediately approached Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa, Xiaobao wishes you good health and a younger life."
Grandpa Qin smiled and took out the red envelope he had prepared a long time ago: "Come on, I also hope that our little treasure will become more and more beautiful and sensible."
"Thank you, grandpa!" Qin Xiaobao took the thick red envelope and kissed again and again proudly.
