take advantage of

Sooner or later they will agree. "

In the next few years, it seems that I don't have such a clear memory like that time, and I just lived in a muddle.When it comes to Chinese New Year, it will probably be even more muddled.It was at that time that Xiao Qing developed the habit of running out during the Chinese New Year. Most of the time, he would choose a certain seaside resort, eat, drink, swim and sleep every day, and then find a place to completely relax and watch all kinds of tourists passing by. OK, very comfortable.

For a moment, Xiao Qing seemed to muster up some courage and wanted to call Qi Hao and ask him about his plans for the New Year.After only a few seconds of unlocking the phone, he didn't want to ask any more.How should I ask?He thought about a few sentences, but he always felt that he couldn't say it, but he felt a little wronged for no reason when he thought about it.

Forget it.

Qi Hao is very busy these days, because he has to maintain communication with the American team, he always feels that he has not lost the jet lag after returning for many days.In fact, he always wanted the New Year's Eve to come soon, but it wasn't until his assistant came to ask him for leave that he realized that next week would be New Year's Eve as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He quickly confirmed the schedule with his assistant before and after the Chinese New Year, and asked the HR supervisor to agree on the company's holiday time.After sending everyone away, Qi Hao rubbed his forehead while counting the days with his mobile phone, then quickly sent a message, and after receiving a reply, he hurriedly called Xiao Qing.

It took a while for the other side to connect, and Xiao Qing said: "Wait a minute." Then there was a burst of noise, it sounded like he was talking to someone, and it took a few seconds to calm down, and asked him: " What's wrong?"

Xiao Qing's voice was clear and quiet, and his speaking speed was unhurried. Through the radio waves, Qi Hao always reminded Qi Hao of the powerful voice he heard in the headset during the press conference.Only then did he feel a little tired, and he really wanted to lie down next to this person to sleep now, so he straightened his legs, leaned back on the seat back, and asked him with a smile, "Are you in the company?"

"Yeah," Xiao Qing said, "We're going to have an early vacation here, and I'll pack up and go back."

"I'm so envious, I also want to have a boss like Mr. Xiao!" Qi Hao said exaggeratedly, "Our boss has to go to work on New Year's Eve!"

Xiao Qing let out a "hum", and scolded quietly in a very cooperative way: "Capitalist!"

Qi Hao whimpered and said, "That's right! My assistant is going home early for the New Year, but I can't go..."

Xiao Qing said, "Will the boss pay overtime?"

Qi Hao said: "That should still be given."

Xiao Qing sighed, and said, "It's a bit of a conscience, but for the sake of money, I have to bear it."

Qi Hao also sighed heavily, and said sullenly: "Mr. Xiao, you see that I am in such a miserable state, can you help me with something?"

Xiao Qing asked, "What are you going to do?"

Qi Hao stopped teasing him, and hurriedly said: "I ordered a case of Italian red wine from a friend. My grandfather has studied it a bit and likes to drink it. It is said that this wine won an award this year, so I bought a case for it. .The goods arrived before we left for the US, but I didn’t have time to pick them up...Can you pick them up for me later? Let’s go to my grandpa’s for the Chinese New Year next week, and then we’ll say you bought it for him. The old man must be very happy!"

After Qi Hao finished speaking, there was no sound on the other side. He looked at the phone, the call was still going on, and then raised it to his ear and said "Hello" a few times: "Hello? Can you hear me? Qinger?"

"Hey..." Xiao Qing finally agreed, and he said, "I heard...that, where is the address?"

Qi Hao said: "I'll send you the address and phone number in a moment. It's a bit far away, but it should be relatively easy to get there from your company. You can take a taxi and I'll ask them to pack it for you."

Xiao Qing said "Okay", his voice sounded a bit unsteady, Qi Hao only had a problem with the mobile phone signal at that time, and continued to instruct: "You can wait for me at home after you get it back, I won't work overtime tonight, let's go out for dinner."

Xiao Qing said "Okay" again, and after a while whispered "You come back early".Qi Hao only felt that a small hook had been pricked in his head, and he was sweet for a while, and then hung up the phone after a few more words.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, Qi Hao feels that something is wrong with Xiao Qing these days.

Ever since he knew that he was going to Qi Hao's grandfather's house for the New Year, Xiao Qing had carefully asked about the situation of Qi Hao's family members. In the next few days, he went shopping everywhere. He didn't see anyone all day, and then he carried bags After returning with a bunch of things, Qi Hao always felt that he might have summed up an extremely complicated Excel sheet secretly.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, just after dinner, Qi Hao saw Xiao Qing moving the presents that he had prepared one after another these days into the living room, nodding his head and counting back and forth.

Qi Hao hugged him from behind, couldn't help but said: "Have I counted it several times, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qing said: "I'm wondering whether to pack them separately for the family. I'm afraid I'll get the wrong ones."

"My Qing'er—don't worry about it." Qi Hao was quite helpless. He reached in from the hem of Xiao Qing's jacket and touched his smooth belly a few times, complaining, "Anyone can get it wrong." , you definitely won’t be wrong, or we’ll make a bet!”

Xiao Qing let those two paws wander around for a while, and when one of them sneaked into his pants, he grabbed it unceremoniously, turned around and frowned and said, "I thought about it, It's better to give your nephew a red envelope, I really don't know what children like nowadays... But, your little cousin is not a few years older, should I give them the same amount of money?"

Qi Hao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Give them two hundred and five each!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Qing thinking seriously for a moment, so angry that Qi Hao lost his temper, and pulled him to the side of the sofa, letting him sit face to face on his lap.

Qi Hao pinched Xiao Qing's butt, and asked very seriously: "Tell me, are you too nervous these days?"

Xiao Qing nodded, as a tacit consent.

Qi Hao protected him with one hand behind him, deliberately bumped his leg twice, and said, "Don't be nervous, the people in my family are all okay, and there is no particularly difficult one, so don't worry. Besides, I am right The attitude of my relatives has always been - if you treat me well, I can treat you well. Although it is said that there is no way to choose relatives, but if I really meet such bastard relatives, I will never get used to them, just keep away from them. "

"Then are all your relatives treating you well?" Xiao Qing asked, putting his hands on his shoulders lightly.

"They treated me very well." Qi Hao said without thinking.

Xiao Qing didn't speak any more, looked at him and blinked.

Qi Hao suddenly understood, he just felt like he was holding a baby in his arms.His throat was congested for a while, and he plunged his head into Xiao Qing's chest. After a long time, he muttered sullenly: "So you also want to be nice to them, don't you?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Qi Hao stretched his arms, straightened his waist, stood up holding Xiao Qing's buttocks, and rushed to the bedroom.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Qi Hao went to the company early in the morning to finish some finishing work from the previous year. He came back after two o'clock in the afternoon, picked up Xiao Qing, and went to grandpa's house together.

People who went out to work went home for the New Year. There were few cars and people on the street. Qi Hao drove all the way to a quiet alley in the center of the city. In front of him was a quaint courtyard that had been refurbished with great effort.After parking the car, Qi Hao collected the pile of presents, and freed up a hand to pull Xiao Qing.Only after this pull did Xiao Qing feel that Xiao Qing's hands were icy cold, and knowing that he was still nervous, he could only comfort him a few more words.

Xiao Qing suddenly remembered something important as he approached the door, and asked Qi Hao, "What should I call them?"

Qi Hao said: "Just call me after me, call me whatever you want."

Just as he was talking, the red-painted door opened from the inside, and a teenage girl poked her head out, her big eyes rolled around, she saw Qi Hao, and shouted: "Brother!"

"Ye Xiaoshan, why did you come out? Come on, let me introduce you. This is your brother Xiao Qing, your brother and my boyfriend." Qi Hao pulled Xiao Qing over and introduced, "This is Ye Xiaoqing." Shan, my cousin."

Xiao Qing quickly said, "Hello, my name is Xiao Qing."

Ye Shan's surprised expression flashed past, she called out "Brother Xiao Qing" very politely, opened the door and let people in.

After a round of introduction, the embarrassing scene that Xiao Qing was worried about did not happen, but there were a few more red envelopes in his hand, and the biggest one was given by Ms. Ye.Sure enough, as Qi Hao said, his family members are quite kind.Grandpa was very satisfied with the piece of ink he gave him, took it to study in the study, and now wrote a few words of blessing, and sent a few of them "children" to post it.

When the meal was ready, Xiao Qing thought about it, and simply took out the red envelopes to share with the two younger ones.

Qi Hao's nephew, Ye Haoyang, held the red envelope and pondered for a while with a solemn expression. Suddenly, he was so blessed that he raised his head and grinned at Xiao Qing, and shouted loudly, "Thank you, auntie!"

Xiao Qing's hands that stopped in mid-air trembled twice, his face blushed, but Qi Hao was smiling from ear to ear.

"Brother Xiao Qing, Ye Haoyang is short-sighted, so please ignore him." Ye Shan turned her head to confirm the location of her parents, and leaned in front of Xiao Qing and whispered, "Brother, can you send the red envelope directly to me on WeChat?" ?"

"It's too much!" Qi Hao said angrily.Then he saw Xiao Qing nodded, and said simply: "No problem."

So, Qi Hao watched the two add each other's wechat with their heads sullen, and then jingled several times, and the little girl ran away with a smile on her face.

Qi Hao shook his head and sighed heartbrokenly
