After offering money and a New Year’s dinner, Father Zhou Yan took out a large plate of firecrackers from the basket, untied them, and lit them...
"boom……"
It was time for Zhou Yan's father to set off firecrackers, and the others started walking back with their bamboo baskets in hand.
The "money" in the bamboo basket has basically been emptied, leaving only the wine and dishes that our ancestors tasted.
Perhaps because of the good harvest this year, Father Zhou Yan, who has always believed that "it is better to live more filial piety than to mess around after death", prepared much more abundant food and wine than in previous years: before, it was basically just two packs of snacks.
I failed, but today I asked Zhou Yan to cook four hard vegetables and bring a bottle of liquor that cost over 100 yuan.
When a group of people returned to the village, the firecrackers on the west mountain had already exploded...
In the evening, Zhou Yan still had no time to spare. He guarded the big pot the whole time, braised pig heads and elbows.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Yan thought he could finally take a break, but troublesome things happened one after another.
In the morning, Deng Zhuo, the "second tool man", called to inform him of the premiere time of "Qin·Yu"; in the afternoon, Zhou Yan's little girlfriend called to complain that her father's little girl was very coquettish and wanted everything she had.
Show off...
Qin Ruoshu just complained a few words unconsciously, but she didn't expect Zhou Yan to really care about Zhen'er and immediately called Deng Zhuo.
"I'm Zhou Yan. Please send the violin I left at the company to my girlfriend in Dongyang. The sooner the better!"
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhou Yan was posting couplets with his father when another "nuisance call" came from his girlfriend.
“Old Zhou, you’re already thirty and you’re still bothering me to send you something!”
Judging from the sound, Qin Ruoshu was quite happy.
Zhou Yan quietly hid aside: "Who asked some people to show off to my girlfriend!"
"But why do I feel like this piano is the one I got during the National Day?" Qin Ruoshu has a good memory, "I remember asking you at that time, you were always mysterious!"
"Stradivarius!"
"Isn't it?!"
Qin Ruoshu's eyes widened, and he hurried to his room and took out the violin case together with the packaging box.
"Hey, my ancestors, the room has just been tidied up..." Qin's mother looked at Qin Ruoshu with a wry smile.
"Mom, do you know Italian?"
Qin's mother rolled her eyes and reached out to touch her daughter's forehead: "Daughter, are you going crazy over the holidays? How can your mother and I have the chance to learn Italian!"
"ah……"
"However," Qin's mother changed the topic, "I remember that Teacher Lu, who taught you violin in junior high school, should have learned Italian!"
Qin Ruoshu rolled his eyes, took out his mobile phone, took out the documents included in the piano case, took pictures one by one, and sent them to Teacher Lu.
Only two minutes later, Teacher Lu responded: "Little beauty, where did you take this photo?"
As soon as Qin Ruoshu heard the anxious voice of the beautiful woman opposite, she knew that her boyfriend had given her something amazing, and she was slightly proud: "My boyfriend gave me a New Year's gift!"
"Just talk about it, do you know what it is?"
"Isn't it Stradivari's violin?"
"Isn't it just..." Teacher Lu on the other side was immediately depressed, "Beauty, has your family, or should I say your boyfriend, become so entrenched?"
"Oh, I forgot one thing, beautiful Lu, happy New Year!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ruoshu came to the living room with the violin in her arms and put it in front of Qin Fangyuan: "Dad, didn't you always say that Zhong Xiaoyan's boyfriend gave her a Yamaha piano? Let me show you what Lao Zhou gave her.
s things!"
Qin Fangyuan curled his lips: "Isn't it just a violin?"
"This is a Stradivarius violin!" Qin Ruoshu rolled his eyes, but when he thought that his father was a musical blind, he smiled disdainfully, "Forget it, I won't tell you, and you won't do it if I tell you.
Can't understand!"
"No matter how expensive something like this is, how can it be as expensive as a piano?"
"Yamaha is just a musical instrument, and this one..." Qin Ruoshu looked at the violin with great energy, "it is a work of art embodying history..."
"Just keep talking nonsense to me!"
Qin Fangyuan said he didn't believe it, but he was honest in his heart. After his daughter left, he quietly took out his mobile phone, took pictures of the documents in the violin packaging box, and then used his computer to send it to his father, Lu Xiaoyan.
, Lu Jiming...
As for Zhou Yan, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He picked up the phone and called his girlfriend again.
"Beauty, please wish me a happy birthday to my uncle and aunt for me!"
"Why don't you celebrate the New Year by yourself?" Qin Ruoshu asked with a smile.
"I do have my father-in-law's phone number, but we really have nothing to talk about!"
"Okay then," Qin Ruoshu smiled, "Is there anything else?"
""Qin·Yu", released on Valentine's Day!"
Qin Ruoshu was stunned: "Really?"
“You can find out by searching online!”
"That's great!" Qin Ruoshu jumped up with joy. After calming down, he smiled and asked, "Old Zhou, could you please give me a happy New Year to my uncle and aunt?"
Qin Ruoshu refused simply: "You do it yourself!"
Zhou Yan immediately hung up the phone, found Qin Fangyuan and called him...
The phone rings.
Qin Fangyuan glanced at the display, was stunned for a moment, and struggled for a long time before picking up the phone.
"Uncle Qin, Happy New Year!"
Qin Fangyuan was stunned for a moment: How could this guy say nice things so easily?
"Uh, Happy New Year! By the way..." Qin Fangyuan thought for a while, "Zhou Yan, what happened to the violin you gave Ruoshu before New Year's Day?"
"I found it in the capital on National Day and sent it abroad for repair before bringing it back to China!"
"It's really that Diwari!"
Zhou Yan smiled mysteriously: "I don't know, anyway, when I sent it for repair, the Italian bearded man was so excited that he didn't even ask for labor fees and even gave him a piano case for free...and...
,Uncle Qin, please wish me a happy auntie on your behalf!"
"Zhou Yan, please wish your parents a happy New Year on my behalf..."
Here, Zhou Yan hung up the phone, only to find that my mother had just put down her phone.
what's the situation?
"Xiao Qin called just now!"
After I returned to the room, I took out a pile of brand-new old people's heads from under the pillow, counted ten of them, and stuffed them into Zhou Yan's hand: "New Year's money, I know you are not short of money, so I take it as a sign of appreciation!"
Zhou Yan took the New Year's money and put it in his arms. Just as he was about to climb onto the kang, he suddenly remembered that he had bought gifts for his two elders before going home. He rushed out and ran to his room and brought back two palm-sized boxes.
One per person.
"What is this?" Mom and Dad were a little surprised when they looked at the colored paper and ribbons wrapped outside.
"Will you know if you open it and take a look?" Zhou Yan shrank his neck and warned cautiously.
"Watch? Why did you buy this thing? We don't usually wear it?"
The mother smiled and took out the watch and put it on her hand. The father also looked at his son meaningfully and sighed deeply: "When I was demobilized, those watches, pens and the like were given by my comrades.
, it’s all caused by you..."
Zhou Yan chuckled, not daring to look at his father seriously.
"This watch..." Mr. Zhou carefully looked at the workmanship of the watch, "It shouldn't be cheap, right?"
"Longines is a small brand, not as famous as Seagull and Shanghai..."
