The Rationalist's Marriage

The Spring Festival of the new year is at the beginning of February, and a few days before returning to Wucheng, they stayed at Feng Kaijuan's house.On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Qiu Yuening still had two flights.

At [-] am, most shops are closed and the market is open until noon.Qiu Yuecheng was on duty in the morning, and Ding Ye accompanied Feng Kaijuan to buy the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.The ingredients bought that day were fresh after all. Except for those who ordered from restaurants, most of the nearby residents chose to buy on the morning of the [-]th day, so the market was busier than usual.

"Xiao Ding, look at what you like." Feng Kaijuan blushed, "I'll do it for you."

"I'll help you."

"I didn't expect it to be so long. At that time you sent me to the hospital. Now...it's really destined." Feng Kaijuan couldn't suppress his good mood. At first, he only admired Ding Ye's personality, but later he became a family. Seeing that the young couple had a bad fight, she, the elder, of course was happy, as if she had returned to the time when she was young and in love.

"I think so too." He told Qiu Yuening truthfully about his feelings in the past, but in front of Feng Kaijuan, Ding Ye really couldn't open his mouth. He used her to a certain extent.

Either way, the result is the same.

Feng Kaijuan said that they should eat lobsters during the Chinese New Year, in order to make them prosperous and auspicious, they picked a big one, and besides that, they also bought a lot of ordinary fish, shrimp, vegetables and meat.He had expected to buy a lot, and Ding Ye came here by car. After shopping, he put the things in the trunk, and the two of them went home together.

In the afternoon, Feng Kaijuan, Ding Ye, and Qiu Yuecheng started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and Qiu Yuening also arrived home.He just got off work, and the other three didn't expect him to help, but Qiu Yuening was willing to hide in the house and rest on such a special day. After taking a shower, he yelled at them: "I will cook seafood!"

Because of Qiu Yuening's joining, the New Year's Eve dinner was completed faster than expected. The family of four was there, and there was nothing special about it. They started to enjoy the delicious food early.

"Mom, is there too much food?" Qiu Yuecheng asked.There are three plates of fish on the table, one of boiled, steamed and fried.

"What a lot, it's Chinese New Year, it's good to have leftovers."

Feng Kaijuan opened a bottle of wine and drank with them. It was only once a year that she would drink.

"Mom," Qiu Yuening reminded, "you drink less."

"I'll just have a drink." Feng Kaijuan glanced at him, "Be careful, you can't drink as much as Chengcheng."

Qiu Yuecheng and Ding Ye laughed lowly at the same time, as if acquiescing to Feng Kaijuan's statement.Qiu Yuening poured some more into his cup angrily.

Qiu Yuecheng added fuel to the fire and said, "Before my brother faints, let's toast!"

It's just a joke, Qiu Yuening won't be really angry with his sister, let alone today's New Year's Eve, everyone is happy.

"Happy New Year!" In order to prove that he was not drunk, he deliberately bit every word very clearly.

Put down the wine glass and chat more freely.Qiu Yuecheng is very lively, especially when facing his elder brother and sister-in-law; he doesn't mind using his usual work and the wonderful clients he has met as conversation material at the dinner table.Feng Kaijuan not only cared about her daughter's work, but also cared about her interpersonal communication, and she abducted her to life's major events without saying a few words.

"Xiao Ding, do you know any good people—"

"Stop," Qiu Yuecheng immediately guessed her next words, "Mom, I don't have that plan yet."

"I didn't say what to do, so you are in a hurry," Feng Kaijuan laughed, "It's not that the people you know are unreliable."

"Isn't it because you are familiar with someone?" Qiu Yuecheng protested with a raised face, "I want to play for a few more years."

"You child is really..."

"Mom," Ding Ye said with a smile, "I think Yuecheng is very assertive, so we don't need to worry about it."

"I hope, her little opinion can be put to good use!"

……

Fireworks are prohibited in Wencheng, but this New Year's Eve is definitely not lonely for the people who gather together.

This is also the first New Year spent by the two young people with their new "family".

Three days later, Qiu Yuening and Ding Ye left for Wucheng.Feng Kaijuan asked them to bring some nutrition to Ding Yunqian, and Ding Yunqian felt very guilty after receiving it.

"For your mother to bother you so much," he said to Qiu Yuening, "I haven't prepared anything, I'll buy something for you to take home these two days."

"No need," Qiu Yuening told him, "my mother has this habit, we can just buy whatever she needs." Feng Kaijuan enjoys preparing gifts for relatives and friends.

"I'll just pick some specialty products." Ding Yunqian put away the gift, "How is your mother?"

"It's okay, it's much better last time I checked."

When people get old, they don't ask for anything else. The most important thing is their health, and they talk about such trifles the most.

Wucheng is a small place, but the flavor of the new year is even stronger. When he first arrived, Qiu Yuening heard the sound of firecrackers being set off outside.Red lanterns were hung on the central street of the old district that we visited last time. They arrived unfortunately and missed a lion dance performance in the morning.However, the two of them went to the street to buy some special products. Besides that, they still like to rest at home and accompany the elderly.

On the afternoon of the second day in Wucheng, they went out again to visit one of Ding Ye's most respected teachers in high school.Because Ding Ye came from a single-parent family and was the best academically in the class at that time, the teacher took good care of him.After so many years, seeing his career and family going well, the teacher was also very happy, and he pulled the two of them to chat, and wanted to keep them for dinner.But without explaining to Ding Yunqian in advance, Ding Ye still declined and bid farewell to the teacher; took a taxi back to the community, it was already dark.

"Hi, we're here." Ding Ye received a call from Ding Yunqian, "It's ok, I'll go buy it now."

"what happened?"

"Dad asked me to buy some bread." Ding Ye raised his chin and looked across the road. There was only one bakery open during the Spring Festival, and the time was about to close, so he had to hurry up, "I'll just go there by myself, you Wait here for me."

"Should I go buy it?"

"My dad can choose, I know what he likes to eat."

Ding Ye turned around and trotted away, Qiu Yuening shouted from behind: "Be careful."

He turned his head only after watching the other party cross the road. A Maybach on the side of the road seemed to have been parked there just now.It was the first time Qiu Yuening saw this kind of car in Wucheng, and just as he felt the novelty, the door of the back seat opened.

"Mr. Qiu." Shen Shuyan stood upright under the streetlight.

"Uncle Shen?" The blood on his body seemed to freeze, Qiu Yuening was speechless for a moment, he never thought that Shen Shuyan would chase after Wucheng.

Did you come to see Ding Yunqian?What should Ding Ye do if he finds out?Several possibilities flashed through his mind, and he was extremely nervous.

But Shen Shuyan said immediately: "I'm going back to Beijing, I still want to take a look."

"then you--"

"Don't worry, I won't meet them face-to-face." He said with a smile, "Don't let it slip, it's a secret."

After saying this, he returned to the car.When Ding Ye came across the road and Qiu Yuening turned his head again, the car had already left.

Another secret.

Ding Yunqian also promised a secret with him, although Ding Ye saw through it immediately.The secret with Shen Shuyan seemed to have to be kept secret.

"What are you thinking?" Ding Ye touched his arm.

"It's nothing." Qiu Yuening took his hand, "I saw the fireworks just now, it's pretty pretty."

He didn't lie, when he was talking to Shen Shuyan, there were a few children setting off small fireworks not far away.

"I want to let us go buy some tomorrow."

"I don't need it, just take a look."

Those children lit another cluster of fireworks, and golden light spewed out of the fireworks tube.

The two walked into the community, and then stepped into the corridor, leaving the night and fireworks behind.

"Ding Ye." Before entering the door, Qiu Yuening called him.

In fact, I don't have anything in particular to say, just saying your name makes me feel happy.

He smiled, and turned the doorknob under Ding Ye's puzzled gaze.

"Got home."
