"Old Zhao, take that dumpling wrapper out of the refrigerator." Shang Xiaorou stood with half of her head on her head and yelled out from the kitchen.

"Here we come." Zhao Fengmin answered loudly, carrying two small bags of dumpling wrappers, and ran from the living room to the dining room.

"Where's the onion? Where's the onion?"

"Take it."

"Where's the shrimp?"

"It's all ready."

The sound of chopping and chopping can be heard endlessly in the kitchen.

"Shang Youxuan, stop playing with your phone, come and make dumplings."

"immediately!"

"My mother told me to make dumplings, I'll tell you later." Shang Youxuan hurriedly sent a voice message, threw the phone on the sofa, and rushed to the kitchen at a [-]-meter speed, and took the plate of stuffed shrimps prepared by Shang Xiaorou .

The family of three washed their hands one after another, and Shang Xiaorou was the last one. While she was still washing her hands, she stopped the father and daughter from making dumplings first, and shouted, "Wait for me!"

Shang Xiaorou: "Let's compete to see who can pack the most." She turned her eyes left and right, looking at the two, "Three, two, one, get ready..."

Shang Youxuan took off a piece of dumpling wrapper, grabbed the chopsticks with stuffing first, and ran away!

Shang Xiaorou glared: "You—"

Zhao Fengmin on the other end also started, Shang Xiaorou had no choice but to swallow all the words that were left unsaid, and the two of them would snatch them all away!The three of them competed in a hurry, and it was quite lively.

I misremembered the day of New Year's Eve, and all my original plans were in vain.After the two put down the phone, they set off immediately without waiting for the snow to completely melt.Qiao Tong sent Shang Youxuan home and went home by herself.On New Year's Eve, she shouldn't stay outside, even if her parents agree, she can't do it because of her lust for beauty.Speaking of which, the last time I celebrated the New Year at home was ten years ago, and Qiao Tong is already a bit unfamiliar with the New Year.

Mu Xiaoqing called her into the room, and mysteriously asked her to close her eyes and stretch out her hand.When Qiao Tong opened her eyes again, she had a new set of clothes in her hands, a wine red sweater, a thin down jacket, and leggings.

"This is?"

"New clothes for the New Year."

Qiao Tong smiled and said, "But I'm already in my 20s."

Mu Xiaoqing glanced at her: "What's wrong with being in your 20s? You are still my mother's baby at 40 years old, and my mother will make up for the past ten years."

Qiao Tong hugged her emotionally: "Thank you, Mom."

"What can I say thank you to my mother?"

There is a deep love between mother and daughter here, and suddenly there was a dull, rumbling sound of an engine in the yard. Qiao Tong went to the balcony and opened the window, and a cool silver supercar parked on the field ostentatiously.

Mu Xiaoqing said: "It's a New Year's gift that your father picked for you, go out and have a look."

The car door was raised from both ends, and Qiao Heng, wearing a pair of big sunglasses, jumped out sensitively. He could see that he was in a particularly good mood. He opened his arms and said, "Happy New Year's Eve! Dad's good daughter!"

Qiao Tong also stepped forward to hug him.

Qiao Heng couldn't hold it back, he hugged Qiao Tong and turned around twice before stopping, then walked over and hugged Mu Xiaoqing and turned around four times, wrapping one hand around Mu Xiaoqing's shoulders, his face neither red nor out of breath: " Do you want to test drive?"

The horse logo on the front of the car was flying, and Qiao Tong stroked the cold streamlined body slowly with her fingers. Under Qiao Heng's expectant eyes, she got into the car, ran around the manor, got out of the car, and said, "The car is very good. I like it very much, thank you Dad."

Only then did Qiao Heng smile with satisfaction.

Qiao Tong also smiled slightly, but her lips were pursed where no one could see.

The car is fine, but a little small.

The aunt invited by Qiao's family was busy with the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, sweating profusely from the heat.Qiao Tong was chatting with her parents on the sofa, and most of the time it was Mu Xiaoqing who was talking, Qiao Heng and Qiao Tong obediently listened, echoed each other from time to time, and expressed their opinions, and Shang Youxuan was inevitably talked about , now Shang Youxuan is almost a must-talk topic in every chat in their family, even more accurate than the news broadcast.

From Qiao Tong's point of view, as long as she doesn't marry her back, this topic will never be avoided.

Qiao Heng said: "From my father's point of view, you two and three years are okay. You can buy her what she likes. Although her family may have more money than ours, you have to pay for it yourself. She bought it. When I was poor, I had 100 yuan. I spent [-] yuan on business, and the remaining [-] yuan was spent by your mother. I didn’t have a dime left. Your mother came from a famous family and was spoiled and spoiled. Ten yuan It's not enough for her to take a look, but your mother is still so moved that she is crying, and she is so devoted to your father, why? I go with your mother every time, and no matter how busy I am, I dare not neglect her. "

Mu Xiaoqing twisted his arm, and Qiao Heng let out an exaggerated scream, and continued: "It's a big problem for you two to be in different places. Either you quit, or she resigned. At the beginning, you said that you would go to Fengyue for exercise. It’s been two years, it’s not easy to transfer you back right now, and besides, Zigui’s project has to be checked by you personally, are you thinking about transferring back to the head office?”

Qiao Tong said: "I will consider transferring back soon."

Mu Xiaoqing coughed, and said: "Your father is right, but you don't have to talk about marriage for so long. Let's get married when the time comes. Isn't marriage abroad legally effective now? It's always so hanging in my heart." Just up and down, always worried that my daughter-in-law would run away."

Qiao Heng criticized her: "Look at you, the typical Chinese mother-in-law mentality, if someone marries a daughter, we are not marrying a daughter. If you don't run away, you still need someone to come in to serve you, big and small. ah?"

Mu Xiaoqing: "I didn't mean that, you see our daughter likes her so much, why don't we get married early and tie her down, in case she and Ji—"

Qiao Heng quickly covered her mouth!

Only then did Mu Xiaoqing realize that she had slipped her tongue. Qiao Heng hurriedly smoothed things over and continued to criticize her: "You are in the old society. There are married and divorced people. Young people need to get along more and get used to each other."

"It's necessary to get used to it." Mu Xiaoqing glanced at her secretly, seeing that Qiao Tong was normal, even smiling, as if she didn't hear what she just said at all.

Qiao Heng and Mu Xiaoqing had never dared to ask about her love life before. After seeing her with the girls, they were shocked for a while and thought about it. They even took pictures of them, put them in the album, and wrote blessings , want to give her a surprise.

photo?

Mu Xiaoqing stood up abruptly: "I remembered something. One of my favorite hairpins is in the pupil room. I'll look for it."

God bless that photo, don't let Shang Youxuan see it, if the daughter-in-law gets angry, Qiao Tong will be miserable.She didn't know that the photo had been seen three weeks ago, and all the past had been explained clearly.

She walked halfway and turned around again: "But I think it's better to get married early. The running-in after marriage is different from the running-in in a relationship. How long you've been together before doesn't matter much."

It can be said that he is very persistent in urging marriage.

As soon as she left, Qiao Heng insisted on his point of view and repeated: "Don't listen to your mother, there is no rush to get married, you are still young."

Qiao Tong raised her head: "Dad, I'm actually in a hurry."

Qiao Heng: "..."

Qiao Tong lowered her eyes and smiled, she was full of love that could not be overwhelmed, and the thought of getting married came to her mind from time to time, after all, it was the traditional concept that was at work, and after getting married, it seemed that they were a whole.

After a while, Qiao Heng said, "All right, what does she think?"

Qiao Tong said, "Oh, she still wants to talk more about love."

Qiao Heng said: "Look, it's about how much older she is than you, and you have to be more mature in doing things. Don't force her. If you propose marriage too early and she refuses, it will hurt your feelings."

Qiao Tong smiled and said, "I know, how could I be that stupid? Is your daughter that stupid?"

Qiao Heng snorted softly, indescribably proud: "That's not necessarily the case."

The dumpling-making battle ended with Shang Xiaorou as the champion, Shang Youxuan as the runner-up, and Zhao Fengmin as the last. This also explained the status of the family of three at home.Posting couplets, smoking wormwood, cleaning, Shang Youxuan was sent around all afternoon, until the dumplings were cooked in the evening, Shang Xiaorou said: You can chat with your girlfriend now.

Shang Youxuan just gulped down half a bottle of water, took her mobile phone and went back to her room to make a call.

Qiao Tong reported the content of her family's chat today truthfully, and Shang Youxuan laughed here: "Who is your daughter-in-law, you are my daughter-in-law, do you know? Let me tell you, my parents have always thought you I'm so weak, I'm a beast in clothes, and I not only have to fold myself in, but I also have to take the blame, won't your conscience hurt?"

"No way," Qiao Tong said with a smile, "Then next time I tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law the truth?"

"Called father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Do you agree with me marrying into your old business?" Qiao Tong immediately teased, "Then do I call you husband or wife or daughter-in-law?"

"Shut up, you said three names in one sentence, it sounds awkward to me." Shang Youxuan's ears were a little hot, and she said angrily, "So it's the same name."

Qiao Tong stopped talking, panting heavily.

Shang Youxuan asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"I'm angry. Didn't you tell me to shut up? I can only breathe heavily."

"Stop being a good boy, I'll let you take a good breath next time."

"I can't ask for it." Qiao Tong couldn't help but said, "Actually, last night, I took off my pajamas on purpose because I wanted to..."

She whispered a few words.

Shang Youxuan beat her chest and stamped her feet, regretting endlessly.It's all the fault of that surname Ji, who not only caused her to eat several vats of vinegar, but also ruined her bridal chamber wedding!It stinks and shameless!If you have the ability to fight!

I'm sure I won't be able to see you tonight, and I don't know if I can meet you on the first day of the new year tomorrow, and you may not be able to stay overnight if you meet, alas...

Qiao Tong heard her sigh and said with a smile, "How is it? Do you think it's a pity?"

Shang Youxuan swallowed the saliva she secreted, and retorted: "No, no! Am I that kind of greedy person? It must not be!"

"Okay, okay, you're not. I'll live at your house tomorrow, and my parents have agreed."

Shang Youxuan was so happy that she wanted to fly up: "Okay, okay."

Qiao Tong raised her hand to touch her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her body was still attractive. Shang Youxuan didn't even look at her last night. She really almost doubted her life.

Celebrating the New Year in the city is actually quite boring, but every household is busy with the annual big day.After the New Year's Eve dinner, Shang Youxuan was going to watch the Spring Festival Gala with her parents in the living room, but was blocked by Shang Xiaorou, "Have you finished writing tomorrow's update?"

Shang Youxuan struggled and said, "I'll write tomorrow tomorrow."

Shang Xiaorou exposed her: "Tomorrow you will go out with us during the day and with your girlfriend at night, how can you have time to update?"

Shang Youxuan had a frightened expression of "how do you know?"

Shang Xiaorou smiled calmly: "I don't know you yet, go and type!"

Shang Youxuan entered the room in despair and coded for an hour. The readers under her were very moved by her updates throughout the year, rain or shine, and Shang Xiaorou should be counted as a credit.

The Spring Festival Gala was as rigid and boring as ever, with internet jokes bluntly inserted to satisfy northerners' jokes. Even though Shang Xiaorou was from the Northeast, the corners of her lips only twitched a couple of times during the whole process. Shang Youxuan simply posted on Weibo with an Ipad, Live broadcast the Spring Festival Gala for them to make complaints about, and then it became lively.

Merchants have the custom of keeping vigil during the New Year, and they must wait until after twelve o’clock to sleep, so even if the three of them are yawning, they have to keep their eyes open and wait for the New Year’s bell to ring in the square.

At 59:[-] on New Year's Eve, Shang Youxuan picked up Qiao Tong's call.

Neither of them spoke, listening to each other's breathing.

Shang Youxuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the huge LED display in the square in the distance had already started counting down.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

The sky full of fireworks exploded, brilliant and dazzling, the Milky Way instantly turned into a colorful band of light, the real fiery trees and silver flowers are never in the night.The deafening cheers of the people in the square can be faintly heard from such a distance.

"Happy New Year." Her eyes reflected the falling fireworks.

"Happy New Year." Qiao Tong said softly while sitting on the bed, hugging the quilt.

"According to the routine of the novel, shouldn't you shout Happy New Year loudly and enthusiastically in my ear?"

"You said it was a novel. Why don't you stand in the middle of the square loudly and enthusiastically, facing the Milky Way and the ancient clock, and shout Happy New Year to me?"

Shang Youxuan pretended to be wronged: "Okay, sure enough, what you can't get is the best, and now you start to perfunctory me as soon as you get it."

"How dare I?"

"You dare, you don't love me anymore!"

"I love you."

Lied again, Shang Youxuan felt relieved but said arrogantly: "Humph."

The incoming call from the mobile phone kept beeping. Shang Youxuan glanced at it patiently. It was Qin Mu's call. She probably wanted to say Happy New Year to her. She would call in previous years, but now the line is busy. , It is estimated that I will have a fight with her in a while.

Shang Youxuan yawned long: "I'm going to bed, I'm so sleepy."

Sure enough, Qiao Tong said: "Then go to bed early, see you tomorrow, good night."

"Good night."

"I love you."

"Me too." Shang Youxuan didn't wait for her to answer, and immediately connected to Qin Mu's phone, flatteringly said, "Happy New Year, baby."

Qin Mu said coldly: "It's useless to call me a sweetheart, one minute has passed for the New Year."

"Huh? Has it passed? I didn't notice."

"Isn't it? Now that you have a partner, what else should you pay attention to? You agreed to be the first to bless the other party every New Year?"

"She called first, I'm not ashamed to hang up."

"Then you'd be ashamed not to answer my call."

"Didn't I pick it up now?" Qin Mu didn't speak, Shang Youxuan directly admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry for my mistake, I shouldn't value sex over friends."

"I don't understand. Did she give you ecstasy or something? We're tired of being together every day, and you haven't come out to eat with me for a whole week."

Shang Youxuan said in a wrong way: "Didn't you work hard recently?"

Qin Mu scratched his hair annoyedly: "Then I didn't work so hard that I didn't even have time for dinner appointments, let me tell you that I'm very angry now, Shang Youxuan, you'd better hurry up and comfort me. "

"Boom, boo, boo," Shang Youxuan's brain was running at high speed, and the glib tone is definitely not suitable for him now. Yes, Qin Mu likes to listen to gossip, especially his own, and his interest is rising exponentially, "I'll tell you something that is really shocking. matter."

"There is something to say, there is fart."

"I met Qiao Tong's ex-girlfriend, and I'm so stupid to be friends with him."

"Ji Weibai?"

"You know him?" Shang Youxuan was startled, did she wake up that night?

Qin Mu said indifferently: "I don't know, I know. Didn't I tell you to check on Qiao Tong last time? Just checked her ex-girlfriend. She is a Princeton Mathematics undergraduate. She and your girlfriend are classmates in middle school and university. She went to Stanford for her master's degree. I'm studying finance, I guess I've graduated now, and I'm pretty good-looking... Well, I can read it."

Shang Youxuan: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Qin Mu felt that her IQ had dropped since she fell in love: "I said, old Shang, sister Shang, you don't want to know, okay? You said you should get to know it slowly, and now you blame me? Hurry up and tell me." Talk about gossip, forget it, it’s hard to talk about the phone, I’m going to your house, the old man’s illegitimate children who suffered from the plague are here again, I don’t want to see them when I wake up tomorrow morning.”

Shang Youxuan paused, thinking it was unfair to be a fool, so she gloated and said, "That clever sister Qin, do you know that she saved you the night you got drunk?"

"Milk, note?"

Shang Youxuan sang: "It's her, it's her, it's her, it's her, that ex-girlfriend Hezi."

Come on, hurt each other!

Qin Mu was silent for a long time, and said seriously: "...Forgive me, I may be acting in a novel."
