Shen Chaochen laughed to himself, but the light in his eyes disappeared.
"Chenchen, don't you understand? Qingyue is indeed angry because of what your mother did, but now, she doesn't care about these things anymore. We are really in two different worlds. Can you understand? ?”
Father Shen really couldn't help but watch his son sink into belittling himself, so he had no choice but to tell his son the bloody truth.
Shen Chaochen sat on the sofa and turned his head to look at the down jacket. In addition to feeling sour, he felt more disappointed.
He has worked very hard towards his ideals and wants to study hard so that he can become successful in the future. However, now that he has exerted all his strength, it seems that he cannot catch up with Ruan Qingyue.
She is much better than him, she is smart, she is wise, she is courageous, she is resolute, she is more talented. If she had not been born in the countryside, she would only be even better today.
Thinking of this, Shen Chaochen sighed leisurely.
"Dad, I don't think I'm worthy of Qingyue at all. She is so outstanding and good. She deserves the best person in the world."
After Shen Chaochen finished speaking, he stood up dejectedly, picked up the down jacket hanging on the hanger in the living room and went back to the room. He carefully packed the clothes and put them in the most conspicuous place in the cabinet. And he himself put the previous He took out his cotton-padded coat and put it aside. It seemed that he planned not to wear the down jacket again.
With the crackling of firecrackers, the yard smelled of saltpeter, which was a bit unpleasant, but also filled with joy.
"Here, the dumplings are out of the pot."
Hu Mei shouted in the kitchen, and Ruan Qingyue went to the kitchen with the two children to serve dumplings.
"These dumplings are so delicious."
Ruan Qingyue's appetite whetted her appetite after smelling it. There were eight large plates on the dining table, all filled with meat and vegetables. A handful of peeled garlic was placed at the foot of the table. The old lady was sitting by the table, smiling from ear to ear. Mouth.
Qiangzi came into the house with a box of matches, took off his cotton-padded clothes and walked into the house. He was so happy that soon the whole family was sitting together to eat.
"Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow will be the New Year. In the New Year, we must all go smoothly, be healthy, and eat."
As an elder, the old lady said a few words of congratulations and started eating immediately.
The two children have been growing better and better in the past six months. Their skin is fairer, they have grown taller, and they even have a few more pounds of meat on their bodies. They no longer compete for food like before.
Ruan Qingyue picked up a dumpling and bit into it, making a crunching sound.
Ruan Qingyue felt that her front teeth were about to be knocked out, and her forehead was shaking.
"Auntie got the money."
The little girl sitting next to Ruan Qingyue was very happy when she saw Ruan Qingyue spit out the coins.
“This dumpling also contains money!”
Ruan Qingyue couldn't believe it. It was such a coincidence that she ate her first dumpling just now.
"Yes! This is blessing money, which means good luck in the new year and a bright future. Put it away quickly, wash it clean and put it in your embroidery bag to take with you."
Hu Mei looked at Ruan Qingyue with a smile and explained to Ruan Qingyue the meaning of the lucky money.
Ruan Qingyue was very happy after hearing this, nodded repeatedly, and put it away seriously.
After a while, the two children received lucky money one after another. Ruan Qingyue understood immediately after seeing it.
I'm afraid there's a lot of money packed into this dumpling, just for happiness and good luck.
After a happy New Year's Eve dinner, Ruan Qingyue took her two children to play in the yard. All the fireworks she bought before were put to use and were specially reserved for this day to have fun.
The old lady was sitting against the window sill, waiting to see the noise in the yard. Hu Mei was cleaning up the house, and Qiangzi was standing at the door, wanting to play with him, but seeing Ruan Qingyue playing with her children, he couldn't move forward.
go.
As the fireworks flew into the sky and exploded, the yard was full of laughter and laughter. Ruan Qingyue played with him for more than ten minutes, then gradually lost interest and just stood aside and watched, letting the two children play by themselves.
After a while, Qiangzi came up and led the two children to play happily. Ruan Qingyue leaned on the eaves and looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky. The red and green colors were very festive. The fireworks exploded for a while, and the sky
The flashing fireworks hurriedly reflected Ruan Qingyue's delicate and handsome face.
Ruan Qingyue looked at the fireworks and suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart.
During the Chinese New Year, she would cook a bowl of dumplings by herself at home and watch other people's fireworks through the glass.
Today is the first time I've been like this, I feel happy and sad at the same time.
The street was lively, and other children were running around and playing with home-made lanterns. These two children also wanted lanterns, and gathered around Qiangzi to ask for them.
Qiangzi took a look at other people's children's lanterns. They were either bought from the market or made by family members using cans and bottles. He didn't have anything at home. How could this be a good thing?
A few days before the New Year, the wedding company was so busy that Hu Mei bought all the New Year's goods by herself. Now that the child suddenly wanted it, he had no choice but to do it.
Ruan Qingyue turned around and went into the house.
"Sister-in-law, do you have a lantern at home? The child wants a lantern."
Hu Mei was stunned for a moment and slapped her forehead with regret: "I forgot about this, so I bought some lanterns for these two children and hung them in the house, and forgot about the lanterns."
Hu Mei was a little anxious and hurried to the place where the debris was piled to find something.
Ruan Qingyue followed and saw only some bamboo blanks specially made for brooms, and nothing else.
"What can we do? I forgot about this. We can't let our two children cry during the Chinese New Year!"
Hu Mei was very anxious. Ruan Qingyue blinked and suddenly came up with an idea.
"Well, sister-in-law, let me take some of these bamboo blanks and make them one. Let them go to my house! By the way, take off some of the lanterns for me! I will make them a blowpipe."
The everlasting lantern.”
Ruan Qingyue asked Hu Mei what she meant, and Hu Mei nodded repeatedly, very happy.
"Okay, okay, Qingyue, you can still do this! Why are you so good!"
Hu Mei quickly helped Ruan Qingyue take away the bamboo blank. She didn't expect Ruan Qingyue to make anything. Anyway, she had to fool the two children first, so that they could not be unhappy with the family during the Chinese New Year.
"It just came to me suddenly. I've never done it before. I don't know what it will be like!"
Ruan Qingyue took the things back to the house and took out all the fabrics she had collected before. After searching for a long time, she finally found half a piece of orange-red silk yarn.
Ruan Qingyue split the bamboo into several layers, turning it into small strips, which were as wide as chopsticks and two to three millimeters thick.
