On Lunar New Year's Eve, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Qiao's family started to get busy. As the most important meal of the year, preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner usually begin at noon.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang suddenly. Grandma Xie opened the door and welcomed Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi in enthusiastically.
Xie Qiao also ran out of the room when he heard the noise outside.
"You guys came early enough today, I thought you would have to wait a while."
Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi looked at each other and smiled: "Anyway, the company is here I have nothing to do, so I just came over to see if I could help. You can’t be shameless and just eat ready-made food." Upon hearing this, Grandma Xie said quickly: "No need to help, we are almost ready. "
Xie Zirun (Xie Qiao's father) also came out of the kitchen: "You can just follow Qiao Qiao and watch TV for a while, or surf the Internet."
"Uncle, it's okay. Son, we are used to cooking at home, and you have been working hard for a year. You will have a day off today and leave the kitchen to us." Xiao Qianxi took off her down jacket and was about to start.
Qiao Li (Xie Qiao’s mother) quickly stopped Xiao Qianxi: "What are you talking about? How can you let the guests take action."
"Aunt Qiao, what you said That’s not right. This New Year’s Eve dinner is a day for family reunion. If you allow us to come to your home for dinner, we won’t regard ourselves as outsiders.”
As soon as Qin Hao said this, Xie Qiao’s family was shocked. It's hard to stop it anymore.
Since the kitchen was too small and could only accommodate two people, Qin Hao started to put away the ingredients after asking where the seasonings were placed, while Xiao Qianxi helped.
By the way, Xie Zirun and Qiao Li were squeezed out of the kitchen. At first, the couple were worried that Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi would not be able to handle it, but they were impressed by Qin Hao's superb knife skills.
Then he withdrew.
Grandma Xie was sitting on the sofa in the living room, feeling a little uncomfortable: "What do you think this is? We invite the children to our house for New Year's Eve dinner, but instead we let them do all the work while we sit here. "
Qiao Li is more open-minded: "Mom, you have been tired for so many years, it is good to take this opportunity to take a break."
Xie Zirun. She turned around and glanced at the kitchen, and advised: "Mom, these two children are sensible children. If you let them sit here, they will find the time difficult. It is better to give them something to do."
"Hey, it is said that the children of poor people become rich early. These two children are really good and a perfect match." Grandma Xie said with emotion.
Speaking of this, a trace of regret flashed in Qiao Li's eyes. Although this was the first time she met Qin Hao, she had often heard Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi mention it.
Such a boy with excellent character, outstanding appearance, and outstanding abilities is simply her ideal son-in-law.
Unfortunately, Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi are in a relationship, otherwise she would really want to promote her daughter.
However, after making an all-round comparison between Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi, Qiao Li could only sigh silently and gave up completely.
While talking, Xie Qiao was also kicked out of the kitchen.
Qiao Li rolled her eyes at her daughter: "Look at me, then look at you. You can't even wash a piece of clothing clean at ordinary times. What will happen if you get married in the future."
Thank you. Qiao was confused and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Then you don't do much housework at home, isn't it all done by my dad?"
"Hey, you still challenge me, right? I don't How to do it, but it doesn’t mean I can’t do it, what about you?"
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to quarrel, Grandma Xie quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, what are you doing during the Chinese New Year? A joke."
The storm disappeared.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi worked hard for more than two hours and finally filled the big table in the living room.
"Wow, Lao Qin, I couldn't tell that you still have this skill, it's simply amazing." Xie Qiao said and bumped Xiao Qianxi with his elbow: "Our Qianxi will It's a blessing."
Xiao Qianxi rolled her eyes in shame: "There are so many delicious things that can't stop your mouth."
As the head of the family. Xie Zirun cleared his throat, picked up the wine glass and said to Qin Hao: "First of all, welcome Xiao Qin and Xiao Xiao to spend the Spring Festival with us. To borrow what Xiao Qin just said, we can be considered a family from now on. I won't say any polite words. From now on, this will be your home in Beijing.”
“Yes, you will come here often.”
“Happy New Year.”
After toasting, Xie Qiao couldn't wait to grab a piece of braised pork.
"Wow, Lao Qin, how did you make this braised pork? How could it be so delicious and not greasy at all."
"This sweet and sour pork ribs is even better."
Qiao Li was a little dissatisfied with her daughter's lack of appetite and the way she yelled, but after tasting a few dishes, she joined in the praise team.
"Xiao Qin, your skills are no worse than those of chefs in restaurants outside."
Even Xie Zirun, who was relatively reserved, expressed his appreciation.
“Hey, I was greedy when I was a kid and had limited opportunities to eat meat at home, so I tried my best to think of ways to make it delicious, and I mastered it after cooking it a few times.”
While eating and drinking, it was already seven o'clock before I knew it, and the pre-program of the Spring Festival Gala began to play on the TV.
Qin Hao drank tea with Xie Zirun, while Xie Qiao was taken to the kitchen to wash dishes by Qiao Li. Xiao Qianxi was originally planning to follow, but Grandma Xie pulled her to watch TV with her.
Suddenly, Qin Hao's cell phone rang.
"Hey, why do you have time to call me at this time? Have you had New Year's Eve dinner?"
Wang Ying said in a calm tone: "My parents and I are here How about Phuket, are you still at the company?"
"No, Qianxi and I went to Xie Qiao's house to celebrate the New Year."
"Oh, it should be quite lively."
"It is quite lively. If you were here, it would be even more lively."
" No, I can't stand that kind of atmosphere. It's not embarrassing for you to go celebrate the New Year with someone you don't know."
Qin Hao joked: "How can I hear this from the eldest lady? Are you feeling sore?"
There was no movement on the other end of the phone for a while.
"Boring, by the way, how is the company these days since I've been gone?"
"Hey, I just thought that the eldest lady was calling because she was concerned about us. It turns out that I am concerned about the company's business."
Qin Hao pretended to be bitter and said: "Don't worry, everything is normal, especially in the half month of the Chinese New Year, the sales of point cards have increased by 30%."
"That's good"
Wang Ying was just about to say something when Xie Qiao heard that Wang Ying had called and quickly asked Qin Hao for his cell phone.
"Hey, Happy New Year to Wang Ying. How are you in Phuket? Is it cold there?"
Faced with Xie Qiao's barrage of questions, Wang Ying was momentarily She didn't know how to answer the call. After finally waiting for Xie Qiao to finish asking, she said angrily: "Xie Qiao, this is an international long distance call. You want me to talk to you about this? Is there anything serious? I'll hang up without you."
"Don't hang up. Don't hang up yet. I have something amazing to share with you. Just wait for me."
Xie Qiao lowered his voice and sneaked into the room. He even locked the door with a guilty conscience.
"Wang Ying, Lao Qin and Xiao Qian like it."
Wang Ying, who was in Phuket, rolled her eyes: "Weren't they tired of it before I left?" Yes, there’s nothing strange about it.”
“No, I mean they are officially dating.”
Wang Ying’s hand shook and she almost lost her grip on the phone: "Official dating? When did it happen?"
"Just a few days ago, I saw them hugging each other with my own eyes. Qianxi was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to look at me, tsk tsk" Xie Qiao He smacked his lips, seeming to be recalling what happened that day.
Wang Ying was inexplicably agitated. Before going to college, she always thought she liked Yang Cheng. However, after meeting Qin Hao, she found that some of the feelings she had for Yang Cheng were no longer in her mind. It also appeared on Qin Hao.
This had to make her wonder whether she really liked Yang Cheng, or whether she had mistaken friendship for love because they had grown up together.
So, until she figured out the problem, she never showed Qin Hao more than friendship.
Originally, she thought that she could get the answer quickly, but she did not expect that Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi would develop so quickly.
"Have they?"
Xie Qiao did not notice the strangeness in Wang Ying's tone, and still talked about gossip enthusiastically: "That's not true. Qianxi now lives every day In my house, sleep in the same room with me, neverThere is no sleepless night. "
Wang Ying was secretly relieved at first, but then she said quietly: "You don't have to stay up all night to do those things. "
"What things? "Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't Yang Cheng do that with you? "Wang Ying was also stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds, Xie Qiao came to her senses and said angrily: "Wang Ying, why are your thoughts so dirty? We have only been dating for a long time, how is it possible?"< /p>
“I’m dirty? You're pedantic, right? Don't blame me for not reminding you that the longest girlfriend you've been with Yang Cheng hasn't been more than three months. You can calculate how long you two have been together. "Wang Ying hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
"Hey, this is inexplicable! "Xie Qiao was so depressed that she kindly shared gossip with Wang Ying, but she ended up telling her off.
However, when thinking of Wang Ying's words, Xie Qiao couldn't help but become nervous. She and Yang Cheng seemed to be in love. It has been more than two months, and it will be three months after the New Year.
At the same time, Wang Ying, who was lying on the beach chair by the swimming pool of the Phuket hotel, was also very angry and had no place to vent her anger. .
"Wang Ying, what are you doing? As soon as we arrived, we headed to the hotel, why not go out and play for a while. "
When she turned around and saw Yang Cheng, Wang Ying said angrily: "It's none of your business. "
Yang Cheng was stunned. This was the first time in so many years that he heard Wang Ying swear.
"What's wrong? Who made you unhappy? Tell me and I will kill him for you! "
Wang Ying closed her eyes and said, "You. "
"How did I offend you? ”
“You are breathing too loudly and disturbing me. ”
Yang Cheng looked depressed: “Okay, I can leave.” "
After Yang Cheng left, Wang Ying's mood worsened. At the same time, she was also thinking seriously about a question. If she was asked to choose one, who would she choose.
Yang Cheng is a good match, and they grew up together. The disadvantage is that they are too carefree, and their personal abilities are basically reflected in picking up girls.
Qin Haosheng has outstanding personal abilities and has a more charming personality.
As for the shortcomings, Wang Ying thought about it for a long time, but she didn’t seem to find any obvious shortcomings in Qin Hao. It seemed that the only shortcoming was that his family background was not very good.
“Well, now that I think about it. Why are you doing so much? He already has a girlfriend, so maybe he doesn’t care about you at all. ”
The more Wang Ying thought about it, the more depressed she felt. She could feel that Yang Cheng had always regarded her as a brother, and Qin Hao seemed to only regard her as an investor, not as a woman.
“Could it be that I’m not pretty enough? "
Wang Ying returned to the room and said to herself in front of the mirror.
"No, Yang Cheng likes Xie Qiao, I can't be inferior to her. ? "
"Or am I usually too aloof and too rational? ”
But when Wang Ying thought about being as stupid as Xie Qiao,I shuddered immediately.
"Hey, Mom, Phuket is nothing interesting. I will go back after the Spring Festival. Yes, you don't have to worry about me. I will go back by myself."
Wang Ying's father Mom said she was going on vacation during the Chinese New Year, but it was actually to get some peace and quiet. After all, in Dad Wang's position, if he hadn't gone abroad, the threshold of the family would have been trampled down long ago.
On the other side, Qin Hao was watching the Spring Festival Gala with Xie Qiao's family.
To be honest, the 2002 Spring Festival Gala was a bit boring. Even Uncle Benshan’s skit "Selling Cars" was a bit of a continuation of the past. From this year on, the Spring Festival Gala skits no longer had the glory of the past.
The other day, Xie Qiao was woken up by the sound of Xiao Qianxi getting up early in the morning.
"Qianxi, what time is it? Why are you getting up so early? Didn't Lao Qin say that we can go there at nine o'clock?"
Xiao Qianxi's pretty face turned red: " Valentine’s Day is on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and I plan to knit a pair of gloves for him.” /p>
"It's over, I haven't prepared a gift for Yang Cheng yet."
"Qianxi, what gift do you think would be better for me to give Yang Cheng?"
Xiao Qianxi thought for a while: "Yang Cheng is certainly not interested in the things that can be bought outside, and you don't have that much money. Why not make a handmade one for him like me."
"But, this is difficult. Isn’t it difficult? My hands are like chicken feet, can I weave it?”
“Then you can buy a scarf, embroider a flower, or embroider his name on it, and give it to him. Him."
"Well, that makes sense, can you teach me?"
"No problem, but do you have time?"
" Yang Cheng and his family are going to Phuket for vacation. I can give it to him when school starts."
"That time will definitely come in time."
Xie Qiao looked at Xiao Qian. Xi's nimble fingers were filled with envy: "Qian Xi, you are beautiful, capable and clever. If Lao Qin marries you from now on, it will definitely be a blessing that he has cultivated in eight lifetimes."
"You can't say that. So exaggerated." Xiao Qianxi paused and sighed.
"My ability is nothing compared to his abilities."
"To be honest, I'm really a little scared."
Xie Qiao’s face was filled with confusion: “What are you afraid of?”
“The more capable a man is, the more he will be liked by girls. I’m afraid that in the future he will meet someone more beautiful and better than me. Girl"
"Impossible, our Qianxi is the most beautiful and outstanding girl in the world. Lao Qin will definitely not fall in love with someone else. I am optimistic about you."
