At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the young couple, who had wandered around outside, returned to their parents' place and had a simple dinner.
When I saw Qin Ruoshu coming home, I started working on the snacks and wanted to cook the dumplings in advance, but Qin Ruoshu next to me refused.
"Then have some snacks to cushion your stomach. There are still vegetables in the cupboard..."
Before I could finish speaking, I was stopped by Zhou Yan, and asked with a smile: "Mom, are you okay tonight? We have to go to those uncles' houses later, please go to the new house."
Watch for a while?"
I looked at Father Zhou again.
"Why are you looking at me? I'll watch the news broadcast before going to pay New Year greetings..."
After explaining to my mother, Zhou Yan pulled Qin Ruoshu out again.
Qin Ruoshu had already paid New Year's greetings to Zhou Yan's uncles, cousins, and the elders of his grandfather's generation, but at that time it was as Zhou Yan's girlfriend.
And this time for New Year greetings, Qin Ruoshu has become the eldest young lady of the Zhou family.
The first family to pay New Year's greetings was the third grandma, the highest-ranking elder left.
The old man was already over ninety years old. Not only was he deaf, he was also a little confused. My cousin repeated the name several times and could not remember the name.
The young couple just stood there for a while, then said goodbye and left for their uncle's house.
On New Year's Eve, they arrived early to pay New Year's greetings. When the two of them arrived, the uncle's pot house was already full of uncles and juniors.
The second uncle's family is in the same situation, but the brother-in-law's family is slightly better.
"Planning to have a child" was the best reason. My uncle had already brought out the food to go with the wine. Zhou Yan's words made him complain all the time.
"If you don't want to drink, you still have to drink! You both sit down..."
Zhou Yan had no choice but to pull Qin Ruoshu to sit down.
"Oh, by the way," my uncle smiled and took a sip of wine, "I heard that the resort over at Fuyun Mountain is about to start construction..."
"The company has a lot of work near Dongfang, including resorts, supporting apartments in the city, and the film and television city in Xinhai..."
"Are there enough people in Xinhai?" Uncle Zhou Zhenghe frowned.
"It's better over there," Zhou Yan said with a smile on his face, staring at his serious uncle, "However, our project here is not very easy to do. The construction team prefers to use local ones. When the time comes, we will definitely need
Some people sing bad words..."
"Don't bother me..." Zhou Zhenghe hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Don't come after me for being a bad person. I'm a fellow villager..."
Zhou Yan was amused: "Uncle, I definitely don't need you for being a bad actor. Your position is deputy director, responsible for supervision and coordination..."
"One more thing..." Zhou Yan thought for a while, "The cultural tourism project in the village, people from Chuba City will definitely have an opinion when the time comes, and it is estimated that construction will start by the end of the year at the latest..."
"I know," Zhou Zhenghe said happily, "Isn't this good? The construction period is consecutive, and you can just live in your own home..."
After staying at his uncle's house for about half an hour, when he met other people coming to pay New Year's greetings, Zhou Yan took the opportunity to get up and go to his uncle's house.
Qin Ruoshu had no impression of these uncles, so every time he visited Zhou Yan, he had to introduce him in advance to avoid calling him by mistake.
Grandpa Zhou Yan had five brothers. Except for the eldest brother who died young and the fifth brother who was not prosperous, the other three brothers were full of children and grandchildren.
It takes more than an hour to spend a few minutes at each house and do a round of New Year greetings. When I got home, I was watching TV with some of my nieces and nephews.
"Hey, uncle is back!"
"Oh, just in time..." I saw Zhou Yan and breathed a sigh of relief, "You can call up the TV series I watched that day..."
The palace battle drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Everyone in the room watched with great interest, even a few cousins could not take their eyes away.
However, Zhou Yan wasn't too interested in palace fighting. He just held his cell phone and replied to New Year greetings messages or blessing messages on Penguin.
Young Master Zhou was quite fascinated by the TV series, but just after watching it for a few minutes, her phone rang. Zhou Yan raised his head and saw that it was his mother-in-law making a video call request through Penguin.
"If you want to, just take it!" Zhou Yan saw Qin Ruoshu hesitant and found it a bit funny.
"Bring your notebook over, my phone is not very clear..."
"Then just say something back and I'll get the tools..."
After saying that, Zhou Yan went back to the study, got his notebook, and connected his mobile phone to the notebook, fixed it with a bracket, and used it as a camera.
The laptop is connected to the TV using a VGA video cable.
After getting ready, Zhou Yan glanced at the TV fans who were watching TV and smiled: "Everyone, please occupy the TV!"
After saying that, I picked up the remote control and switched the signal source.
"Daughter-in-law, it's okay!"
Qin Ruoshu's video request was quickly approved.
Then, my mother-in-law appeared on TV.
"Hey, my mother-in-law is here too? There are also handsome guys and beauties. Happy New Year!"
"Mom, Happy New Year!" Zhou Yan said preemptively, causing Qin Ruoshu to roll her eyes.
"Mom, Happy New Year!"
After saying hello, my mother-in-law seemed to put down her phone and then backed away.
Father-in-law also appeared on TV, followed by Qin Ruoshu's grandparents.
"Father-in-law, Happy New Year! Grandpa and grandma, Happy New Year!"
After saying that, Zhou Yan glanced at the juniors who were watching the excitement.
"You guys can't just take advantage of our family. I wish you a happy New Year and I'll start..."
"one two three……"
"Grandpa and grandma, Happy New Year!"
A large group of young people came to pay New Year's greetings, which made Qin Ruoshu's grandparents extremely happy.
"Happy New Year, handsome guys and beauties!"
"Well, Ruoshu, switch to voice, let's talk alone..."
Qin Ruoshu nodded, launched the video, and sent a call request on his mobile phone.
After the video and voice calls with her family, the smile on Qin Ruoshu's face did not disappear for a long time.
Qin Ruoshu's video call seemed to be a signal. After that, the ringtones of the two's mobile phones kept coming and going, which made a group of young people watching TV have opinions.
The two can only switch the ringtone to vibrate.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, I wish you a happy New Year!" Zhao Yang's voice is the most discerning and mature in the dormitory.
"Brother Zhao, Happy New Year!"
"By the way, there is such a thing. Our squad leader organized a class reunion. On the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a new barbecue restaurant opened in the city hall was a buffet..."
Zhou Yan was obviously very clear about the monitor's purpose of contacting Zhao Yang. Among his current high school classmates, Zhao Yang was probably the only one who seemed to have the best reputation.
Of course, Zhou Yan is still concerned about how many old classmates he can see: "Are there many people going?"
"Everyone else in our dormitory is free! It's up to you..."
"Then I definitely have to go. Even if I don't want others, I still have to get together with my brothers..."
"Then it's settled. By the way, give my uncle and aunt a happy New Year."
"Thank you, and wish Uncle Zhao and Auntie a Happy New Year for me!"
Here, Zhou Yan hung up the phone, but before she could tell Qin Ruoshu, her phone rang.
"Li Linlin..."
Qin Ruoshu's best friend in high school.
Qin Ruoshu took the phone and went back to the bedroom. When she came back, her face was full of depression.
"What's wrong? My old best friend called me and wants to get together with you?"
Qin Ruoshu was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Zhao Yang called just now, was it about the high school reunion?"
"What else can there be? Otherwise, a text message will be all it takes?" Zhou Yan smiled, "The squad leader is doing well. Once the internship period is over, I just think about my old classmates..."
How could Qin Ruoshu not hear the irony in Zhou Yan's words: "I heard from Linlin that the squad leader entered the bank..."
