After wearing it for seven years, the dead enemy said he loved me
Chapter 044 New Year's Eve
The day of New Year's Eve was a rare sunny day. It snowed for several days in the capital city, and the daytime finally cleared up on the [-]th day.
The golden sun was shining brightly in the blue sky, and the cloudless weather made the festive atmosphere a bit heavier. Although the number of pedestrians on the streets and alleys has decreased, everyone's face is full of gorgeous smiles. Smile.
Compared with the past, the streets, which are much deserted, are decorated with festive red lanterns and Chinese knots.
On the way back to Qin's old house, Bai Luo lay down by the car window and watched the festive atmosphere outside with a smile unconsciously on his face, and even his worries and fears about Qin Zhen dissipated a lot.
Seeing the smile on Bai Luo's face, Qin Chaoci's mood brightened instantly.
There wasn't much traffic going out of the city. It was a rare day when there was no traffic jam. Qin Chaoci drove the car unimpeded to the garage door of Qin's old house. It happened to be 11:30 in the morning when he got off the car and entered the house.
The Qin family? The housekeeper of the old house? Is a rather old man? He looks younger than Qin Zhen, but there are many white hairs on his sideburns. According to Qin Chaoci, the housekeeper? Uncle Sun has been Do things by Qin Zhen's side.
So when Bai Luo got out of the car and saw him, he greeted Uncle Sun politely, and didn't regard him as an ordinary servant.
Bai Luo guessed that Qin Chaoci should have told Qin Zhen in advance that he would bring him back for the New Year, otherwise when they entered the room, Qin Zhen wouldn't just snort coldly when he saw them sitting at the table.
After all, at Qin Zhen's birthday party, it was obvious to all that he disliked Bai Luo.
"It's so late at noon on New Year's Eve, do you still want me? This old man is waiting for you? Can't you start early for dinner?" Qin Zhen sat at the head of the large dining table, with eyes similar to those of Qin Chaoci. He stared, very dissatisfied.
Bai Luo followed behind Qin Chaoci, and blushed when he heard this. They? They are really juniors who came too late.
As if afraid of Bai Luo's discomfort, Qin Chaoci didn't turn his head, but held Bai Luo's hand precisely, and pulled him? Let him? sit down beside him.
"Grandpa, the lunch time in the old house is twelve noon." Qin Chao resigned, implying that they were not late in the future.
Qin Zhen was exposed in public, and immediately blew his beard and stared at him. Qin Chaoci said unhurriedly: "Luo Luo knows that you like tea, so I bought good tea. You can go and have a look after dinner."
Bai Luo's face turned even redder, and he clasped the edge of the table with his fingers uncomfortably.
This time when he returned to Qin's old house, he brought a lot of presents, some of which he chose himself, and some of which Qin Chaoci bought for him.
As a guest, you still have to pay attention to etiquette, and Bai Luo doesn't expect Qin Zhen to accept the fact that his grandson likes men, but at least don't let his impression in the hearts of the Qin family become worse.
Bai Luo told Qin Chaoci what he thought, Qin Chaoci showed disdain on his face, but he gently scratched his nose, and said arrogantly: "As long as I recognize you, others will not recognize you." Recognize you? It doesn't matter."
Pulling back his thoughts, Bai Luo looked at the same arrogance on Qin Zhen's face as Qin Chaoci's, and tentatively said politely: "Because I don't know what grandpa likes, so I bought some more gifts, this is also me? This is the intention of being a junior? I hope Grandpa can accept it."
Bai Luogui's well-behaved and polite attitude comforted Qin Zhen. Although he was still dissatisfied, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smile. Although there was no smile on his face, he still asked Uncle Sun to go to the kitchen to urge the food to be served. .
This attitude is regarded as agreeing? Stay in Qin's house by yourself? Chinese New Year?Bai Luo subconsciously looked at Qin Chaoci, and met his eyes. A shallow smile appeared on Bai Luo's face, and subconsciously stuck out his tongue at Qin Chaoci, like It's like a sigh of relief.
Although there are only three of them on the table, the dishes are still very complete, including chicken, duck, fish, seafood and other big dishes.
After waiting for Qin Zhen to start moving his chopsticks, Bai Luocai hesitantly picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up vegetables. Are they going to start eating now?Don't you wait for Qin Chaoci's parents?
But thinking of how Qin Chaoci's mother suddenly collapsed at Qin Zhen's birthday party that day, Bai Luo swallowed his doubts after thinking about it.
The Qin family seems to be particular about eating without talking or sleeping. After a meal, you can only hear the crackling sound of chopsticks hitting the porcelain.
Qin Zhen didn't say anything after eating, but his body was very honest. He asked Uncle Sun to take a look at the gift that Bai Luo bought for him. After reading it, he went back to his room. I don't like it, which makes Bai Luo a little nervous.
It wasn't until Uncle Sun came over and whispered to Qin Chaoci and Bai Luo that Qin Zhen had a smile on his face when he read the tea leaves, that Bai Luo felt relieved.
Knowing that Qin Zhen likes tea leaves, Bai Luo put in a lot of thought and did a lot of homework to choose these teas, as long as Qin Zhen likes them.
After eating, Qin Chaoci took Bai Luo for a stroll around the Qin family's old house, as a way to digest food.
The Qin family? The old house has stood here for many years, and the whole courtyard is full of a sense of age. Hands gently brush the walls and the flowers and trees in the yard. Every inch of the land here seems to have a story.
The two walked side by side, and Bai Luo looked around curiously. Although the Qin family's old house is an old house that has been built for a long time, it has been renovated many times, and all the decorations inside are very humane.
It has both the simplicity of the old house and the convenience of the new house.
Bai Luo and Qin Chaoci walked around a lot, and saw a field surrounded by fences in the yard. Large and small flower pots were placed all over the ground. Although many flowers had withered and fallen leaves in winter, There are also flowers that bloom in winter, which makes people feel happy.
Seeing the garden fence that was incompatible with Qin Zhen, Bai Luo stopped and asked curiously, "Who planted these flowers?"
Qin Chaoci stood beside the fence with him, "It's me? Mom."
Bai Luo still remembered that Qin Chaoci's mother was called Li Xiyue, which was a nice name.
"It's just the three of us for lunch today, where are the uncles and aunts?" The question that has been lingering in Bai Luo's mind for a long time took advantage of this good opportunity, and he finally asked it.
Obviously last time he remembered that Qin Chaoci's parents lived at home.
Speaking of this, Qin Chaoci had a slight smile on his face, "My father accompanied my mother back to my mother's house."
"For Chinese food on New Year's Eve, they all eat at my mother's house."
Bai Luo nodded, no wonder, when he was at home, Jiang Chengyun seldom let his parents come to the imperial capital, and Bai Nianling said several times to let him pick his parents up for a reunion, but he was unwilling to do so.
At that time, Bai Luo was young and didn't understand why his father didn't let him see his grandparents.
Now that I think about it, it was probably because Jiang Chengyun subconsciously had an inferiority complex at that time, and he didn't want his parents to come to the imperial capital, so he felt ashamed of him.
Bai Luo still remembers that he only went back to Jiang Chengyun's hometown two or three times, and two of them were when his grandparents passed away one after another.
"Auntie is really beautiful." Bai Luo recalled that glimpse. Although Li Xiyue was crying so hard at that time, her face was so beautiful that it was hard to forget.
It stands to reason that such a beautiful aunt, Bai Luo felt that as long as he had seen her, he would never forget it.
Bai Luo's doubts made the faint smile on Qin Chaoci's face gradually disappear, and he said: "My mother doesn't belong to any powerful family in the imperial capital?"
"She was born in an ordinary family, and she is a very ordinary person."
Bai Luo's eyes widened in surprise. He thought that in a family like the Qin family, marriages must be mixed with conflicts of interest. He didn't expect that Qin Zhanshu and Li Xiyue were in free love.
And Qin Zhen also allowed his only son to marry a woman without any background.
Presumably the two must have made a lot of effort for this marriage.
Bai Luo couldn't help sighing: "Then your parents must love each other very much, that's great."
This time it was Qin Chaoci's turn to be surprised. He thought that Bai Luo would have thoughts about his mother's wealth and background, but he didn't expect his reaction to be like this.
But it's true, if Bai Luo was like the mediocre people outside, then Qin Chaoci wouldn't have kept him in his heart for so long.
No matter what he has experienced, Bai Luo always has a pure heart, and treats everything with the purest eyes.
Qin Chaoci smiled, and there was a hint of joy in his smile, maybe one day he? really had the opportunity to dissect everything about him to Bai Luo.
Seeing that Qin Chaoci was smiling, Bai Luo was a little taken aback, but also a little puzzled, thinking carefully about what he said just now that was so funny?Why is Qin Chaoci so happy?
Qin Chaoci took Bai Luo for a walk around the garden fence, which made Bai Luo feel a little sleepy.
Last night, he thought about coming to Qin's house today to celebrate the New Year. He, who has always slept well, actually suffered from insomnia. He fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning. He woke up late again this morning, so Qin Zhen scolded them for being late. Loge was extremely embarrassed.
Because Qin Chaoci woke up very early, Bai Luo was sleepy and unwilling to wake up.
Now that he was full after eating and drinking, he walked around to digest food, Bai Luo became sleepy, rubbed his eyes and yawned a little, which was noticed by Qin Chaoci.
"Sleepy? Let's take a nap." Qin Chao resigned.
Bai Luo nodded, and Qin Chaoci logically took Bai Luo's hand and led him to the room on the second floor.
Qin Chaoci's warm palm tightly wrapped his slightly cold hand from the cold wind, and Bai Luo subconsciously held him back, absorbing some warmth, and didn't feel that the two of them were in the absence of each other. What's wrong with holding hands in a ?bystander? situation.
When Qin Chaoci pushed open the door and Bai Luo walked in after him, his brain, which was a little too slow due to sleepiness, finally came to his senses.
This...is this the room Qin Chaoci lived in since he was a child??
Bai Luo still remembered that during Qin Zhen's birthday party, Qin Chaoci's suit was wet with Li Xiyue's tears, and he went back to his room to change clothes.
At that time, Bai Luo was eager to go to Qin Chaoci's room? It would be best if he could see the "gift from first love" that Ruan Hui said.
But Qin Chaoci didn't invite Bai Luo into their room at that time, and Bai Luo was too embarrassed, so he didn't follow in, but just waited outside for Qin Chaoci to come out after changing his clothes.
Now that he was finally able to enter Qin Chaoci's room openly, Bai Luo tried his best to appear normal, and walked in behind Qin Chaoci.
Qin Chaoci's room is very big, with a large bed visible to the eye, and a large and wide desk not far away. All kinds of gold-plated awards and certificates for blind people filled a large bookcase.
Bai Luo was dumbfounded, Qin Chaoci was probably "a child of someone else's family" since he was a child.
Although Qin Chaoci doesn't often go back to the old house, the servants in the house still do their best to clean the house. The room is clean, tidy and bright. The duvet on the big bed is so fluffy that it seems to still have sunshine breath.
Bai Luo looked and looked again and again, trying to find the meteor-shaped "gift from first love", but he gave up after a short while, for no other reason? There are too many trophies and other things in Qin Chaoci's room, which is too much to see. Dazzling, let alone Bai Luo was already sleepy.
"Go to sleep." Qin Chaoci thoughtfully lifted a corner of the duvet, Bai Luo nodded and sat on the side of the bed ignorantly, and was about to reach out to take off his clothes? It was hard to realize that this is Qin Chaoci's room? Then they are going to sleep together today?
Seeing Bai Luo's movements, Qin Chaoci seemed to understand something, his voice was low and there was a slight smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in a separate room today, so please be considerate of Young Master Bai Luo. "
Bai Luo's face turned red instantly, just like the flowers blooming in the garden, very gorgeous.
He stammered: "It's... special circumstances, I can still be considerate."
This is Qin Chaoci's room? There is absolutely no reason to drive the owner out? But letting Bai Luo sleep in the guest room doesn't seem to fit their "love" personality in front of Qin Zhen.
Seeing that Qin Chaoci walked to the other side and began to take off his clothes, Qin Chaoci dressed very casually today. Inside his coat was a white shirt and a beige cashmere vest.
The slender and broad knuckles slid over the collar of the white shirt, took off the soft cashmere vest, and pointed down, the wooden handmade buttons on the shirt were undone one by one...
Only then did Bai Luo truly realize that Qin Chaoci was about to sleep on the same bed as him.
He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his face turned redder than before, until he lay on the comfortable big bed, Bai Luo's face was still hot.
Even Bai Luo didn't dare to look at Qin Chaoci who was sleeping on the other side. He secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately this bed is big enough, otherwise, with his poor sleeping appearance, it is very likely that he fell asleep and rolled into Qin Chaoci's bed. On the side of Chaoci.
Bai Luo didn't even dare to think about this situation, he squeezed the quilt tightly, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, trying to quickly hypnotize himself so that he wouldn't have to face this embarrassing scene.
Qin Chaoci's eyes were smiling, and he looked quietly at Bai Luo, who had his eyes closed tightly. After a while, Bai Luo's brows gradually relaxed, and after a while, his breathing gradually became gentle and deep, looking like Is really asleep.
Even though he was still very vigilant just now? Now he is completely defenseless and sleeps peacefully beside him.
Qin Chaoci's heart melted into a puddle of water, his eyes were full of love, he couldn't help pinching Bai Luo's face gently, stretched out his arms and slowly hugged her in his arms.
Smelling the familiar scent of the person in his arms, Qin Chaoci sighed contentedly, and took the most satisfying nap ever.
When he was half awake from his sleep, the sun outside was still hot, Bai Luo vaguely wanted to turn over and sleep for a while, so he hugged the big pillow beside him.
Then he felt something was wrong... Why is this pillow so hot and so big?
He woke up suddenly and realized that he was not at home. He and Qin Chaoci went back to the Qin family's old house for Chinese New Year today. This is Qin Chaoci's room, and they slept next to him.
The identity of the human-shaped pillow can be imagined. As soon as Bai Luo opened his eyes, he saw Qin Chaoci's face that seemed to be smiling? Not smiling? Then he quickly retracted his hands and feet, and rolled to the other side hugging the quilt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Bai Luo apologized again and again, ah ah he? How come he fell asleep and fell asleep to Qin Chaoci's side, and even hugged him in his arms.
It's not certain that Qin Chaoci was the one who touched him, or he was the one who took the initiative to hug him, Bai Luo blushed for himself.
"Still sleeping or not?" Qin Chaoci laughed lightly, lifted the quilt and got up, opened the heavy curtains a little, and the golden sunlight poured out and scattered all over the floor.
Bai Luo was so frightened that all the sleepy bugs ran away. He shook his head and looked at the warm sunshine outside the window, squinted his eyes, and stretched himself.
"Go and wash your face, I'll take you out." Qin Chaoci put on his clothes and patted Bai Luo's leg hidden under the quilt.
Bai Luo drew back his feet at once, his black grape-like eyes stared at Qin Chaoci with enthusiasm, and asked curiously, "Going out? What are you going out for?"
"Buy new year's goods." Qin Chao resigned.Bai Luo's mentality? He is a child of seventeen or eighteen years old. Isn't the child's favorite thing to do during the Chinese New Year is shopping?
The new clothes for the New Year, Qin Chaoci, have already been prepared, and Bai Luo has been asked to change them. It just so happened that this time I took him to the supermarket and asked him to relax, so that he wouldn't be at home? Eye to eye with Qin Zhen, Bai Luo was even more nervous.
Sure enough, Bai Luo sat up from the bed as soon as he turned over. He was so excited that he happily got dressed and went to wash up. Then he couldn't wait to pull Qin Chaoci to go outside.
Go to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods!Just thinking about Bai Luo makes him feel very happy.
In Bai Luo's memory, going to the supermarket is an activity with a strong sense of family. In the past, during the Chinese New Year, Bai Nianling would try her best to take Bai Luo and Jiang Chengyun's family to the supermarket.
Bai Luo would run around in various areas of the supermarket, pick up his favorite snacks, choose gifts for his friends, and the adults would also buy some things to use during the Chinese New Year.
Even Jiang Chengyun would hang up the couplets and red lanterns himself. Thinking of this, the smile on Bai Luo's face deepened.
"Can we really go?" When we got downstairs, Bai Luo suddenly thought of Qin Zhen and hesitated.
Qin Chaoci held Bai Luo's hand tightly, led him to the garage, got into the car, and fastened his seat belt for him.
The in-car navigation automatically turned on, and Qin Chaoci chose a large supermarket that was the closest. The navigation began to automatically plan the route, and Bai Luo was beaming with joy.
During the daytime of Chinese New Year’s Eve, there are not many people in the supermarket, and most of them have already bought their New Year’s goods. The salespersons in the supermarket are enthusiastically selling various Spring Festival gift boxes. The New Year’s atmosphere in the supermarket is the strongest. Everywhere Are they all beaming?
Qin Chaoci pushed the trolley, and followed Bai Luo diligently and uncomplainingly. Bai Luo was like a child? He put what he liked in the shopping cart.
Like all seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, Bai Luo couldn't walk when he saw the snacks. He took a lot of potato chips, spicy sticks and soda, and put them in the trolley before he remembered to see Qin Chaoci's reaction.
Seeing him? Frowning, Bai Luo tugged on Qin Chaoci's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Just this time, Chinese New Year, let me be happy."
Bai Luo loves spicy food, so he usually doesn't pay attention to what he eats. No matter what he eats, he always eats spicy food, but he doesn't have a steel stomach. After a long time, his stomach will have a little problem. If he eats too much hard food, he will have a stomachache. , so Qin Chaoci has strict control over his snacks at home.
When he was away from home, Yu Shun was specially told by Qin Chaoci, but he didn't dare to let him eat and drink, so this time when he went to the supermarket, Bai Luo put all the things he wanted into the shopping cart.
The two looked at each other, and in the end Qin Chaoci sighed helplessly and stroked Bai Luo's soft black hair, "Go and get it."
Bai Luo was so happy that he wished he could take off on the spot, gestured "Yeah" to Qin Chaoci, and then continued to buy, buy, buy.
In addition to buying snacks, the two also bought a lot of other New Year's goods, including pine nuts, nuts and nuts that the elders would eat. Bai Luo also carefully selected Spring Festival couplets, red lanterns and other necessary items for the New Year, and filled the trunk to the brim. of.
It is reasonable to say that this time shopping is quite fruitful, so I should be satisfied.
But Bai Luo was sitting in the co-pilot, looking at the scenery flashing by on the elevated road, he still felt that there was something he didn't buy.
Until they found out that this didn't seem to be the way back to the Qin family's old house?
It gets dark early in the imperial capital in winter, and the two of them walked around the supermarket. When they came out, the sun was about to set. At this moment, it was already faintly dark.
Bai Luo asked curiously: "Aren't we going home? Where else are we going?"
Today's Qin Chaoci seemed to be aroused by Bai Luo, and he seemed extraordinarily happy. He shook his head pretending to be mysterious, as if he wanted to surprise Bai Luo.
When the car finally stopped, Bai Luo opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw that shop? It wasn't very big, but it had a complete range of fireworks and firecrackers. He ran in like a happy little lamb, screaming and screaming. stop.
"How can Chinese New Year be without fireworks?" Qin Chao said with a smile, "What do you like? Choose yourself."
Bai Luo nodded vigorously, and excitedly looked at this small pavement carefully and carefully.
Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the imperial capital, so this store is almost in the suburbs, and there are no large fireworks in the store, for fear of safety hazards.
Bai Luo picked left and right, but in the end, he didn't choose too many, so he chose the fairy stick that was easy to set off, and there were also several kinds of fireworks that sprayed flowers and rotated.
The shop owner put the fireworks that Bai Luo bought in a small box, and now even the back seat was filled up. Bai Luo sat on the co-pilot and looked back at the fireworks on the back seat after a while, with a look of disbelief on his face. I can't stop laughing.
Seeing him like this, Qin Chao smiled and shook his head, teasing him, and said, "Put the fireworks on the back seat so they won't run long. They always turn their heads. Does your neck hurt?"
Bai Luo looked at him proudly, and said inscrutably, "You don't understand."
You always have to look at the things you like more often. The happier you will be, Bai Luo can't tell what's wrong with him, but today he? He went out to the supermarket with Qin Chaoci to buy fireworks. Can he be regarded as him? The happiest day since coming here.
Together they discussed what to buy, what kind of fireworks to buy, as if they were a real family.
Bai Luo didn't continue to talk, and Qin Chaoci didn't ask further questions. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them.
I drove the car home and arrived at the garage. On New Year's Eve, I also want to give the servants at home a holiday. Only Uncle Sun is left in the old Qin family's house, and the other servants go home on vacation. ?
Qin Chaoci and Bai Luo got out of the car and carried a lot of bags and bags into the house. Before changing their shoes, they heard the movement in the living room.
Qin Zhanshu and Li Xiyue came back at some point, the smile on Bai Luo's face froze for a moment, and he looked nervously at the three elders in front of him.
Seeing the snacks and couplets in the arms of the two of them, Qin Zhen didn't say anything, but stared at the news on the TV in the living room.
Li Xiyue stood up immediately, and walked towards Bai Luo with a smile.
The last time I saw Li Xiyue, she looked a bit embarrassed because of crying, but now she was standing in front of Bai Luo with a gentle smile.
Li Xiyue was born beautiful, but she was not as beautiful as ordinary women. Although she was smiling, there was a heroic spirit in her brows and eyes. Free and easy.
Soft and strong, that's it, Bai Luo couldn't help thinking.
"Hello, Auntie." Bai Luo greeted nervously. He forgot to put down the things in his hands, or should Li Xiyue take his place? Taking the things in his hands, Qin Zhanshu, who came over, naturally put the things in Li Xiyue's hands I took it.
Qin Chaoci put down his things and stood beside Bai Luo. His firm and powerful arms rested lightly on Bai Luo's shoulders, giving him strength invisibly.
"Good boy, your name is Bai Luo, right?" Li Xiyue held Bai Luo's hand affectionately, smiling with a hint of love in her crooked brows and eyes.
Bai Luo nodded and couldn't help taking a deep breath.
As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her in-laws, but Bai Luo would rather be ugly than the wrong gender.
"Outside? Is it cold?" Li Xiyue's palm was rough, but the hand holding Bai Luo was as warm as her mother's hand?
Everyone thought that Bai Nianling must be pampered to sit in the position of head of the Bai family, but few people knew the calluses on her palms.
Bai Luo shook his head, it was warm in the car, and the heater in the supermarket was also well-heated, so although they didn't wear much, they weren't cold, it was just that their palms were a little cold.
Li Xiyue made tea for Bai Luo to let him warm his body. Bai Luo obediently sat beside Li Xiyue, like a docile little sheep. At first he was a little uncomfortable, looking at Qin Chao frequently. After resigning, it didn't take long for him to get acquainted with Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue gave Bai Luo a good impression, she was charming and outspoken, and her greetings eased Bai Luo's nervousness, and more importantly, Bai Luo could feel that she really cared about him.
It seems that without Qin Chaoci's explanation, Li Xiyue and Qin Zhanshu have accepted Bai Luo happily.
Qin Zhanshu hasn't spoken much since Bai Luo came in, but just nodded to Bai Luo, showing a gentle and kind smile, which made Bai Luo's heart ease back. in stomach.
Li Xiyue pulled Bai Luo to ask some questions, some were about their work, some were about their family, Bai Luo answered them honestly, without hiding anything.
During the chat, Bai Luo couldn't help but sneak a look at Qin Chaoci. An indescribably wonderful feeling lingered in his heart, but it wasn't annoying, because Bai Luo knew that Qin Chaoci's parents were no offence?.
They? Willing? They will have to bear the anger from the elders of the Qin family, but they did not expect Li Xiyue to be so amiable.
After drinking tea, Li Xiyue took Bai Luo to eat something to fill his belly, and then took him to the kitchen.
The Qin family's servants have all gone home, only Uncle Sun is left at home, and they need to solve dinner by themselves.
"I? I heard from Butler Sun that you? We went to the supermarket to buy new year's goods in the afternoon, so I thought that our family would make dumplings and eat them in a lively manner at night." Li Xiyue prepared the stuffing. Material, also made dough? dough.
Everything is ready, except for making dumplings.
Bai Luo's eyes instantly lit up, he was very pleasantly surprised, making dumplings!
It is a traditional custom to eat dumplings on the night of New Year's Eve!Bai Luo nodded happily, but then hesitated and said, "Auntie... I?
"It's okay." Li Xiyue smiled. She and Bai Luo moved all the tools and raw materials for making dumplings to the dining table, calling everyone to come and make dumplings together.
Li Xiyue stood leaning against Bai Luo, and blinked at him, with the vivaciousness and playfulness of a girl on her body, "It doesn't matter if you wrap it up badly, Xiaoci and Zhanshu can do it."
Does Qin Chaoci know how to make dumplings?Bai Luo's eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent, and he stared closely at Qin Chaoci's flying fingers.
Li Xiyue didn't lie to him? Qin Chaoci really knows how to make dumplings, and the dumplings are made quickly and well. Not only that, Qin Zhanshu's craftsmanship is also very good.
The father and son stand in a row, usually used to sign and deal with? The fingers of the worker are extremely nimble. The rolled dumpling wrapper is dipped in some water, and a ball of filling is picked out and placed in the center. With a pinch and a buckle, a dumpling is wrapped. Yes, it is the same as the one sold in the store outside.
But in just 10 minutes, a plate full of wrapped dumplings was placed in front of the father and son.
Bai Luo looked down at the "crooked melon and split dates" he had made, feeling ashamed. Compared with the dumplings made by Qin Chaoci, his own dumplings seemed to be immature? The legs are average, in short, they are ugly.
"My good boy's dumplings are also very well made." Li Xiyue encouraged Bai Luo at the right time, "What's so special about making dumplings that look like an assembly line? It's just that they have to be oddly shaped? That's why it's fun."
Bai Luo bowed his head and smiled embarrassingly, but they won't be easily undermined in their self-confidence, even if the bag doesn't look good, it doesn't matter, at least after it's cooked in the pot, he will The dumplings are the most conspicuous and easy to identify!
Qin Chaoci, Bai Luo, Qin Zhanshu, Li Xiyue, and Uncle Sun were busy making dumplings, and Qin Zhenlei couldn't get through, sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching the news broadcast.
After making dumplings for a while, Bai Luo couldn't help but look in the direction where Qin Zhen was. They were busily making dumplings and letting Qin Zhen, an old man, sit alone on the sofa in the living room watching TV, isn't it? great?
Putting down the rolling pin, Li Xiyue wiped her hands on the apron. She patted the back of Bai Luo's hand lightly, signaling? He? Don't worry.
Li Xiyue walked to Qin Zhen's side. The news broadcast on the TV screen was coming to an end. She smiled? Laughed? and said softly, "Dad, the news is almost over. After watching, let's make dumplings together?"
Qin Zhen didn't take his eyes off the TV screen, but just let out a soft snort, signaling that he heard it.
Li Xiyue turned her head to look at the group of people standing or sitting at the dining table, especially Bai Luo, who was bewildered. She shook her head with a smile, turned around and said nonsense with her eyes open: "Dad, Both Zhanshu and Xiaoci's dumpling-making skills have regressed, so I still need you to guide them."
As soon as Qin Zhen heard this, he had a reaction, leaned on a cane and slowly got up, like a proud old cat? It had to be patted down along its fur.
"You guys are still too young to make dumplings." With the support of Li Xiyue, Qin Zhen walked slowly to the dining table, looked at Qin Zhanshu and Qin Chaoci's dumplings that looked like copy and paste without saying a word, and looked slowly again. Turning to the strangely shaped dumpling in front of Bai Luo.
Bai Luo became nervous all of a sudden, afraid that Qin Zhen would scold him for what he was doing.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhen didn't say anything, but looked at Bai Luo with a hint of complacency in his eyes. The old man put down his crutches, sat down at the table, took the already rolled dumpling wrappers, and started wrapping them quickly. stand up.
Their movements are faster than Qin Zhanshu and Qin Chaoci's, and their appearance is also better.
Seeing Bai Luo's stunned and amazed eyes, Qin Zhen said complacently, "This is how you make dumplings? Bao, do you understand?"
Bai Luo nodded again and again, Li Xiyue pushed Bai Luo, smiling cunningly like a fox, Bai Luo seemed to understand something in the haze.
No wonder Qin Zhen's personality allowed his only son, Qin Zhanshu, to marry an ordinary woman with no background. In fact, Li Xiyue was smarter than anyone else and lived a transparent life.
The whole family made dumplings in a friendly manner, and even everyone's head, Qin Zhen, had a rare smile on his face.
When the dumplings are out of the pan, the heat is lingering around, and the dipping sauce has already been adjusted. The dumplings made by myself are delicious. Everyone? Sitting at the table to eat dumplings, and made a few cold and hot dishes, and they are harmonious and beautiful.
This New Year's Eve dinner was more harmonious than Bai Luo imagined.
After eating, it was time to watch the year. After everyone stood around to digest the food, they gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. In fact, Bai Luo thought the show was rather boring, but today he thought it was particularly good-looking.
Maybe it's not that the show has become more exciting, but the people around him make Bai Luo happier.
Qin Zhen is old and can't watch the zero o'clock. He got up at about ten o'clock to wash up and go to bed. He stood up from the sofa and looked at Bai Luo. Bai Luo was so amused by the sketch. Lying upside down in Qin Chaoci's arms.
Qin Chaoci squeezed his hand and said something in his ear, which made people laugh and tremble.
Seeing Qin Zhen looking at him, Bai Luo was shocked instantly, and quickly stood up.
Qin Zhen dragged his cane, walked slowly in front of Bai Luo, and slowly took out a...big red envelope from his pocket!
Bai Luo's eyes were instantly lit up, and Qin Zhen said in an awkward tone, "The lucky money has to be collected."
A big red envelope was placed in Bai Luo's hand. Bai Luo looked at Qin Chaoci in surprise, and then at Li Xiyue. He? Didn't expect that the first person to give him a new year's red envelope was Qin Zhen .
He thought that Qin Zhen didn't like him very much, and thought that if Qin Chao's resignation hadn't been there, Qin Zhen would have wished to kick him out of the Qin family's old house.
"Thank you, grandpa!" Bai Luo's voice was crisp and sweet, with a sweet smile, "I also wish grandpa a happy New Year's Eve!"
A smile flashed across Qin Zhen's face, but he quickly restrained himself. He nodded and took out another red envelope from his pocket to Qin Chaoci. Qin Chaoci didn't refuse, and accepted it happily. .
However, the red envelope given to Qin Chaoci was much smaller than the red envelope given to Bai Luo. Bai Luo carried the new year's bag given by Qin Zhen in his arms, and the bulging red envelope was almost bursting.
After giving the red envelopes to his grandchildren, Qin Zhen nodded, and when he turned to leave, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He looked at Li Xiyue and Qin Zhanshu, frowned and said, "You two, you don't need Did I give you a red envelope?"
Li Xiyue smiled mischievously and said: "Dad, you? If you want to give it, we'll come of course? No
The golden sun was shining brightly in the blue sky, and the cloudless weather made the festive atmosphere a bit heavier. Although the number of pedestrians on the streets and alleys has decreased, everyone's face is full of gorgeous smiles. Smile.
Compared with the past, the streets, which are much deserted, are decorated with festive red lanterns and Chinese knots.
On the way back to Qin's old house, Bai Luo lay down by the car window and watched the festive atmosphere outside with a smile unconsciously on his face, and even his worries and fears about Qin Zhen dissipated a lot.
Seeing the smile on Bai Luo's face, Qin Chaoci's mood brightened instantly.
There wasn't much traffic going out of the city. It was a rare day when there was no traffic jam. Qin Chaoci drove the car unimpeded to the garage door of Qin's old house. It happened to be 11:30 in the morning when he got off the car and entered the house.
The Qin family? The housekeeper of the old house? Is a rather old man? He looks younger than Qin Zhen, but there are many white hairs on his sideburns. According to Qin Chaoci, the housekeeper? Uncle Sun has been Do things by Qin Zhen's side.
So when Bai Luo got out of the car and saw him, he greeted Uncle Sun politely, and didn't regard him as an ordinary servant.
Bai Luo guessed that Qin Chaoci should have told Qin Zhen in advance that he would bring him back for the New Year, otherwise when they entered the room, Qin Zhen wouldn't just snort coldly when he saw them sitting at the table.
After all, at Qin Zhen's birthday party, it was obvious to all that he disliked Bai Luo.
"It's so late at noon on New Year's Eve, do you still want me? This old man is waiting for you? Can't you start early for dinner?" Qin Zhen sat at the head of the large dining table, with eyes similar to those of Qin Chaoci. He stared, very dissatisfied.
Bai Luo followed behind Qin Chaoci, and blushed when he heard this. They? They are really juniors who came too late.
As if afraid of Bai Luo's discomfort, Qin Chaoci didn't turn his head, but held Bai Luo's hand precisely, and pulled him? Let him? sit down beside him.
"Grandpa, the lunch time in the old house is twelve noon." Qin Chao resigned, implying that they were not late in the future.
Qin Zhen was exposed in public, and immediately blew his beard and stared at him. Qin Chaoci said unhurriedly: "Luo Luo knows that you like tea, so I bought good tea. You can go and have a look after dinner."
Bai Luo's face turned even redder, and he clasped the edge of the table with his fingers uncomfortably.
This time when he returned to Qin's old house, he brought a lot of presents, some of which he chose himself, and some of which Qin Chaoci bought for him.
As a guest, you still have to pay attention to etiquette, and Bai Luo doesn't expect Qin Zhen to accept the fact that his grandson likes men, but at least don't let his impression in the hearts of the Qin family become worse.
Bai Luo told Qin Chaoci what he thought, Qin Chaoci showed disdain on his face, but he gently scratched his nose, and said arrogantly: "As long as I recognize you, others will not recognize you." Recognize you? It doesn't matter."
Pulling back his thoughts, Bai Luo looked at the same arrogance on Qin Zhen's face as Qin Chaoci's, and tentatively said politely: "Because I don't know what grandpa likes, so I bought some more gifts, this is also me? This is the intention of being a junior? I hope Grandpa can accept it."
Bai Luogui's well-behaved and polite attitude comforted Qin Zhen. Although he was still dissatisfied, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smile. Although there was no smile on his face, he still asked Uncle Sun to go to the kitchen to urge the food to be served. .
This attitude is regarded as agreeing? Stay in Qin's house by yourself? Chinese New Year?Bai Luo subconsciously looked at Qin Chaoci, and met his eyes. A shallow smile appeared on Bai Luo's face, and subconsciously stuck out his tongue at Qin Chaoci, like It's like a sigh of relief.
Although there are only three of them on the table, the dishes are still very complete, including chicken, duck, fish, seafood and other big dishes.
After waiting for Qin Zhen to start moving his chopsticks, Bai Luocai hesitantly picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up vegetables. Are they going to start eating now?Don't you wait for Qin Chaoci's parents?
But thinking of how Qin Chaoci's mother suddenly collapsed at Qin Zhen's birthday party that day, Bai Luo swallowed his doubts after thinking about it.
The Qin family seems to be particular about eating without talking or sleeping. After a meal, you can only hear the crackling sound of chopsticks hitting the porcelain.
Qin Zhen didn't say anything after eating, but his body was very honest. He asked Uncle Sun to take a look at the gift that Bai Luo bought for him. After reading it, he went back to his room. I don't like it, which makes Bai Luo a little nervous.
It wasn't until Uncle Sun came over and whispered to Qin Chaoci and Bai Luo that Qin Zhen had a smile on his face when he read the tea leaves, that Bai Luo felt relieved.
Knowing that Qin Zhen likes tea leaves, Bai Luo put in a lot of thought and did a lot of homework to choose these teas, as long as Qin Zhen likes them.
After eating, Qin Chaoci took Bai Luo for a stroll around the Qin family's old house, as a way to digest food.
The Qin family? The old house has stood here for many years, and the whole courtyard is full of a sense of age. Hands gently brush the walls and the flowers and trees in the yard. Every inch of the land here seems to have a story.
The two walked side by side, and Bai Luo looked around curiously. Although the Qin family's old house is an old house that has been built for a long time, it has been renovated many times, and all the decorations inside are very humane.
It has both the simplicity of the old house and the convenience of the new house.
Bai Luo and Qin Chaoci walked around a lot, and saw a field surrounded by fences in the yard. Large and small flower pots were placed all over the ground. Although many flowers had withered and fallen leaves in winter, There are also flowers that bloom in winter, which makes people feel happy.
Seeing the garden fence that was incompatible with Qin Zhen, Bai Luo stopped and asked curiously, "Who planted these flowers?"
Qin Chaoci stood beside the fence with him, "It's me? Mom."
Bai Luo still remembered that Qin Chaoci's mother was called Li Xiyue, which was a nice name.
"It's just the three of us for lunch today, where are the uncles and aunts?" The question that has been lingering in Bai Luo's mind for a long time took advantage of this good opportunity, and he finally asked it.
Obviously last time he remembered that Qin Chaoci's parents lived at home.
Speaking of this, Qin Chaoci had a slight smile on his face, "My father accompanied my mother back to my mother's house."
"For Chinese food on New Year's Eve, they all eat at my mother's house."
Bai Luo nodded, no wonder, when he was at home, Jiang Chengyun seldom let his parents come to the imperial capital, and Bai Nianling said several times to let him pick his parents up for a reunion, but he was unwilling to do so.
At that time, Bai Luo was young and didn't understand why his father didn't let him see his grandparents.
Now that I think about it, it was probably because Jiang Chengyun subconsciously had an inferiority complex at that time, and he didn't want his parents to come to the imperial capital, so he felt ashamed of him.
Bai Luo still remembers that he only went back to Jiang Chengyun's hometown two or three times, and two of them were when his grandparents passed away one after another.
"Auntie is really beautiful." Bai Luo recalled that glimpse. Although Li Xiyue was crying so hard at that time, her face was so beautiful that it was hard to forget.
It stands to reason that such a beautiful aunt, Bai Luo felt that as long as he had seen her, he would never forget it.
Bai Luo's doubts made the faint smile on Qin Chaoci's face gradually disappear, and he said: "My mother doesn't belong to any powerful family in the imperial capital?"
"She was born in an ordinary family, and she is a very ordinary person."
Bai Luo's eyes widened in surprise. He thought that in a family like the Qin family, marriages must be mixed with conflicts of interest. He didn't expect that Qin Zhanshu and Li Xiyue were in free love.
And Qin Zhen also allowed his only son to marry a woman without any background.
Presumably the two must have made a lot of effort for this marriage.
Bai Luo couldn't help sighing: "Then your parents must love each other very much, that's great."
This time it was Qin Chaoci's turn to be surprised. He thought that Bai Luo would have thoughts about his mother's wealth and background, but he didn't expect his reaction to be like this.
But it's true, if Bai Luo was like the mediocre people outside, then Qin Chaoci wouldn't have kept him in his heart for so long.
No matter what he has experienced, Bai Luo always has a pure heart, and treats everything with the purest eyes.
Qin Chaoci smiled, and there was a hint of joy in his smile, maybe one day he? really had the opportunity to dissect everything about him to Bai Luo.
Seeing that Qin Chaoci was smiling, Bai Luo was a little taken aback, but also a little puzzled, thinking carefully about what he said just now that was so funny?Why is Qin Chaoci so happy?
Qin Chaoci took Bai Luo for a walk around the garden fence, which made Bai Luo feel a little sleepy.
Last night, he thought about coming to Qin's house today to celebrate the New Year. He, who has always slept well, actually suffered from insomnia. He fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning. He woke up late again this morning, so Qin Zhen scolded them for being late. Loge was extremely embarrassed.
Because Qin Chaoci woke up very early, Bai Luo was sleepy and unwilling to wake up.
Now that he was full after eating and drinking, he walked around to digest food, Bai Luo became sleepy, rubbed his eyes and yawned a little, which was noticed by Qin Chaoci.
"Sleepy? Let's take a nap." Qin Chao resigned.
Bai Luo nodded, and Qin Chaoci logically took Bai Luo's hand and led him to the room on the second floor.
Qin Chaoci's warm palm tightly wrapped his slightly cold hand from the cold wind, and Bai Luo subconsciously held him back, absorbing some warmth, and didn't feel that the two of them were in the absence of each other. What's wrong with holding hands in a ?bystander? situation.
When Qin Chaoci pushed open the door and Bai Luo walked in after him, his brain, which was a little too slow due to sleepiness, finally came to his senses.
This...is this the room Qin Chaoci lived in since he was a child??
Bai Luo still remembered that during Qin Zhen's birthday party, Qin Chaoci's suit was wet with Li Xiyue's tears, and he went back to his room to change clothes.
At that time, Bai Luo was eager to go to Qin Chaoci's room? It would be best if he could see the "gift from first love" that Ruan Hui said.
But Qin Chaoci didn't invite Bai Luo into their room at that time, and Bai Luo was too embarrassed, so he didn't follow in, but just waited outside for Qin Chaoci to come out after changing his clothes.
Now that he was finally able to enter Qin Chaoci's room openly, Bai Luo tried his best to appear normal, and walked in behind Qin Chaoci.
Qin Chaoci's room is very big, with a large bed visible to the eye, and a large and wide desk not far away. All kinds of gold-plated awards and certificates for blind people filled a large bookcase.
Bai Luo was dumbfounded, Qin Chaoci was probably "a child of someone else's family" since he was a child.
Although Qin Chaoci doesn't often go back to the old house, the servants in the house still do their best to clean the house. The room is clean, tidy and bright. The duvet on the big bed is so fluffy that it seems to still have sunshine breath.
Bai Luo looked and looked again and again, trying to find the meteor-shaped "gift from first love", but he gave up after a short while, for no other reason? There are too many trophies and other things in Qin Chaoci's room, which is too much to see. Dazzling, let alone Bai Luo was already sleepy.
"Go to sleep." Qin Chaoci thoughtfully lifted a corner of the duvet, Bai Luo nodded and sat on the side of the bed ignorantly, and was about to reach out to take off his clothes? It was hard to realize that this is Qin Chaoci's room? Then they are going to sleep together today?
Seeing Bai Luo's movements, Qin Chaoci seemed to understand something, his voice was low and there was a slight smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in a separate room today, so please be considerate of Young Master Bai Luo. "
Bai Luo's face turned red instantly, just like the flowers blooming in the garden, very gorgeous.
He stammered: "It's... special circumstances, I can still be considerate."
This is Qin Chaoci's room? There is absolutely no reason to drive the owner out? But letting Bai Luo sleep in the guest room doesn't seem to fit their "love" personality in front of Qin Zhen.
Seeing that Qin Chaoci walked to the other side and began to take off his clothes, Qin Chaoci dressed very casually today. Inside his coat was a white shirt and a beige cashmere vest.
The slender and broad knuckles slid over the collar of the white shirt, took off the soft cashmere vest, and pointed down, the wooden handmade buttons on the shirt were undone one by one...
Only then did Bai Luo truly realize that Qin Chaoci was about to sleep on the same bed as him.
He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his face turned redder than before, until he lay on the comfortable big bed, Bai Luo's face was still hot.
Even Bai Luo didn't dare to look at Qin Chaoci who was sleeping on the other side. He secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately this bed is big enough, otherwise, with his poor sleeping appearance, it is very likely that he fell asleep and rolled into Qin Chaoci's bed. On the side of Chaoci.
Bai Luo didn't even dare to think about this situation, he squeezed the quilt tightly, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, trying to quickly hypnotize himself so that he wouldn't have to face this embarrassing scene.
Qin Chaoci's eyes were smiling, and he looked quietly at Bai Luo, who had his eyes closed tightly. After a while, Bai Luo's brows gradually relaxed, and after a while, his breathing gradually became gentle and deep, looking like Is really asleep.
Even though he was still very vigilant just now? Now he is completely defenseless and sleeps peacefully beside him.
Qin Chaoci's heart melted into a puddle of water, his eyes were full of love, he couldn't help pinching Bai Luo's face gently, stretched out his arms and slowly hugged her in his arms.
Smelling the familiar scent of the person in his arms, Qin Chaoci sighed contentedly, and took the most satisfying nap ever.
When he was half awake from his sleep, the sun outside was still hot, Bai Luo vaguely wanted to turn over and sleep for a while, so he hugged the big pillow beside him.
Then he felt something was wrong... Why is this pillow so hot and so big?
He woke up suddenly and realized that he was not at home. He and Qin Chaoci went back to the Qin family's old house for Chinese New Year today. This is Qin Chaoci's room, and they slept next to him.
The identity of the human-shaped pillow can be imagined. As soon as Bai Luo opened his eyes, he saw Qin Chaoci's face that seemed to be smiling? Not smiling? Then he quickly retracted his hands and feet, and rolled to the other side hugging the quilt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Bai Luo apologized again and again, ah ah he? How come he fell asleep and fell asleep to Qin Chaoci's side, and even hugged him in his arms.
It's not certain that Qin Chaoci was the one who touched him, or he was the one who took the initiative to hug him, Bai Luo blushed for himself.
"Still sleeping or not?" Qin Chaoci laughed lightly, lifted the quilt and got up, opened the heavy curtains a little, and the golden sunlight poured out and scattered all over the floor.
Bai Luo was so frightened that all the sleepy bugs ran away. He shook his head and looked at the warm sunshine outside the window, squinted his eyes, and stretched himself.
"Go and wash your face, I'll take you out." Qin Chaoci put on his clothes and patted Bai Luo's leg hidden under the quilt.
Bai Luo drew back his feet at once, his black grape-like eyes stared at Qin Chaoci with enthusiasm, and asked curiously, "Going out? What are you going out for?"
"Buy new year's goods." Qin Chao resigned.Bai Luo's mentality? He is a child of seventeen or eighteen years old. Isn't the child's favorite thing to do during the Chinese New Year is shopping?
The new clothes for the New Year, Qin Chaoci, have already been prepared, and Bai Luo has been asked to change them. It just so happened that this time I took him to the supermarket and asked him to relax, so that he wouldn't be at home? Eye to eye with Qin Zhen, Bai Luo was even more nervous.
Sure enough, Bai Luo sat up from the bed as soon as he turned over. He was so excited that he happily got dressed and went to wash up. Then he couldn't wait to pull Qin Chaoci to go outside.
Go to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods!Just thinking about Bai Luo makes him feel very happy.
In Bai Luo's memory, going to the supermarket is an activity with a strong sense of family. In the past, during the Chinese New Year, Bai Nianling would try her best to take Bai Luo and Jiang Chengyun's family to the supermarket.
Bai Luo would run around in various areas of the supermarket, pick up his favorite snacks, choose gifts for his friends, and the adults would also buy some things to use during the Chinese New Year.
Even Jiang Chengyun would hang up the couplets and red lanterns himself. Thinking of this, the smile on Bai Luo's face deepened.
"Can we really go?" When we got downstairs, Bai Luo suddenly thought of Qin Zhen and hesitated.
Qin Chaoci held Bai Luo's hand tightly, led him to the garage, got into the car, and fastened his seat belt for him.
The in-car navigation automatically turned on, and Qin Chaoci chose a large supermarket that was the closest. The navigation began to automatically plan the route, and Bai Luo was beaming with joy.
During the daytime of Chinese New Year’s Eve, there are not many people in the supermarket, and most of them have already bought their New Year’s goods. The salespersons in the supermarket are enthusiastically selling various Spring Festival gift boxes. The New Year’s atmosphere in the supermarket is the strongest. Everywhere Are they all beaming?
Qin Chaoci pushed the trolley, and followed Bai Luo diligently and uncomplainingly. Bai Luo was like a child? He put what he liked in the shopping cart.
Like all seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, Bai Luo couldn't walk when he saw the snacks. He took a lot of potato chips, spicy sticks and soda, and put them in the trolley before he remembered to see Qin Chaoci's reaction.
Seeing him? Frowning, Bai Luo tugged on Qin Chaoci's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Just this time, Chinese New Year, let me be happy."
Bai Luo loves spicy food, so he usually doesn't pay attention to what he eats. No matter what he eats, he always eats spicy food, but he doesn't have a steel stomach. After a long time, his stomach will have a little problem. If he eats too much hard food, he will have a stomachache. , so Qin Chaoci has strict control over his snacks at home.
When he was away from home, Yu Shun was specially told by Qin Chaoci, but he didn't dare to let him eat and drink, so this time when he went to the supermarket, Bai Luo put all the things he wanted into the shopping cart.
The two looked at each other, and in the end Qin Chaoci sighed helplessly and stroked Bai Luo's soft black hair, "Go and get it."
Bai Luo was so happy that he wished he could take off on the spot, gestured "Yeah" to Qin Chaoci, and then continued to buy, buy, buy.
In addition to buying snacks, the two also bought a lot of other New Year's goods, including pine nuts, nuts and nuts that the elders would eat. Bai Luo also carefully selected Spring Festival couplets, red lanterns and other necessary items for the New Year, and filled the trunk to the brim. of.
It is reasonable to say that this time shopping is quite fruitful, so I should be satisfied.
But Bai Luo was sitting in the co-pilot, looking at the scenery flashing by on the elevated road, he still felt that there was something he didn't buy.
Until they found out that this didn't seem to be the way back to the Qin family's old house?
It gets dark early in the imperial capital in winter, and the two of them walked around the supermarket. When they came out, the sun was about to set. At this moment, it was already faintly dark.
Bai Luo asked curiously: "Aren't we going home? Where else are we going?"
Today's Qin Chaoci seemed to be aroused by Bai Luo, and he seemed extraordinarily happy. He shook his head pretending to be mysterious, as if he wanted to surprise Bai Luo.
When the car finally stopped, Bai Luo opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw that shop? It wasn't very big, but it had a complete range of fireworks and firecrackers. He ran in like a happy little lamb, screaming and screaming. stop.
"How can Chinese New Year be without fireworks?" Qin Chao said with a smile, "What do you like? Choose yourself."
Bai Luo nodded vigorously, and excitedly looked at this small pavement carefully and carefully.
Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the imperial capital, so this store is almost in the suburbs, and there are no large fireworks in the store, for fear of safety hazards.
Bai Luo picked left and right, but in the end, he didn't choose too many, so he chose the fairy stick that was easy to set off, and there were also several kinds of fireworks that sprayed flowers and rotated.
The shop owner put the fireworks that Bai Luo bought in a small box, and now even the back seat was filled up. Bai Luo sat on the co-pilot and looked back at the fireworks on the back seat after a while, with a look of disbelief on his face. I can't stop laughing.
Seeing him like this, Qin Chao smiled and shook his head, teasing him, and said, "Put the fireworks on the back seat so they won't run long. They always turn their heads. Does your neck hurt?"
Bai Luo looked at him proudly, and said inscrutably, "You don't understand."
You always have to look at the things you like more often. The happier you will be, Bai Luo can't tell what's wrong with him, but today he? He went out to the supermarket with Qin Chaoci to buy fireworks. Can he be regarded as him? The happiest day since coming here.
Together they discussed what to buy, what kind of fireworks to buy, as if they were a real family.
Bai Luo didn't continue to talk, and Qin Chaoci didn't ask further questions. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them.
I drove the car home and arrived at the garage. On New Year's Eve, I also want to give the servants at home a holiday. Only Uncle Sun is left in the old Qin family's house, and the other servants go home on vacation. ?
Qin Chaoci and Bai Luo got out of the car and carried a lot of bags and bags into the house. Before changing their shoes, they heard the movement in the living room.
Qin Zhanshu and Li Xiyue came back at some point, the smile on Bai Luo's face froze for a moment, and he looked nervously at the three elders in front of him.
Seeing the snacks and couplets in the arms of the two of them, Qin Zhen didn't say anything, but stared at the news on the TV in the living room.
Li Xiyue stood up immediately, and walked towards Bai Luo with a smile.
The last time I saw Li Xiyue, she looked a bit embarrassed because of crying, but now she was standing in front of Bai Luo with a gentle smile.
Li Xiyue was born beautiful, but she was not as beautiful as ordinary women. Although she was smiling, there was a heroic spirit in her brows and eyes. Free and easy.
Soft and strong, that's it, Bai Luo couldn't help thinking.
"Hello, Auntie." Bai Luo greeted nervously. He forgot to put down the things in his hands, or should Li Xiyue take his place? Taking the things in his hands, Qin Zhanshu, who came over, naturally put the things in Li Xiyue's hands I took it.
Qin Chaoci put down his things and stood beside Bai Luo. His firm and powerful arms rested lightly on Bai Luo's shoulders, giving him strength invisibly.
"Good boy, your name is Bai Luo, right?" Li Xiyue held Bai Luo's hand affectionately, smiling with a hint of love in her crooked brows and eyes.
Bai Luo nodded and couldn't help taking a deep breath.
As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her in-laws, but Bai Luo would rather be ugly than the wrong gender.
"Outside? Is it cold?" Li Xiyue's palm was rough, but the hand holding Bai Luo was as warm as her mother's hand?
Everyone thought that Bai Nianling must be pampered to sit in the position of head of the Bai family, but few people knew the calluses on her palms.
Bai Luo shook his head, it was warm in the car, and the heater in the supermarket was also well-heated, so although they didn't wear much, they weren't cold, it was just that their palms were a little cold.
Li Xiyue made tea for Bai Luo to let him warm his body. Bai Luo obediently sat beside Li Xiyue, like a docile little sheep. At first he was a little uncomfortable, looking at Qin Chao frequently. After resigning, it didn't take long for him to get acquainted with Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue gave Bai Luo a good impression, she was charming and outspoken, and her greetings eased Bai Luo's nervousness, and more importantly, Bai Luo could feel that she really cared about him.
It seems that without Qin Chaoci's explanation, Li Xiyue and Qin Zhanshu have accepted Bai Luo happily.
Qin Zhanshu hasn't spoken much since Bai Luo came in, but just nodded to Bai Luo, showing a gentle and kind smile, which made Bai Luo's heart ease back. in stomach.
Li Xiyue pulled Bai Luo to ask some questions, some were about their work, some were about their family, Bai Luo answered them honestly, without hiding anything.
During the chat, Bai Luo couldn't help but sneak a look at Qin Chaoci. An indescribably wonderful feeling lingered in his heart, but it wasn't annoying, because Bai Luo knew that Qin Chaoci's parents were no offence?.
They? Willing? They will have to bear the anger from the elders of the Qin family, but they did not expect Li Xiyue to be so amiable.
After drinking tea, Li Xiyue took Bai Luo to eat something to fill his belly, and then took him to the kitchen.
The Qin family's servants have all gone home, only Uncle Sun is left at home, and they need to solve dinner by themselves.
"I? I heard from Butler Sun that you? We went to the supermarket to buy new year's goods in the afternoon, so I thought that our family would make dumplings and eat them in a lively manner at night." Li Xiyue prepared the stuffing. Material, also made dough? dough.
Everything is ready, except for making dumplings.
Bai Luo's eyes instantly lit up, he was very pleasantly surprised, making dumplings!
It is a traditional custom to eat dumplings on the night of New Year's Eve!Bai Luo nodded happily, but then hesitated and said, "Auntie... I?
"It's okay." Li Xiyue smiled. She and Bai Luo moved all the tools and raw materials for making dumplings to the dining table, calling everyone to come and make dumplings together.
Li Xiyue stood leaning against Bai Luo, and blinked at him, with the vivaciousness and playfulness of a girl on her body, "It doesn't matter if you wrap it up badly, Xiaoci and Zhanshu can do it."
Does Qin Chaoci know how to make dumplings?Bai Luo's eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent, and he stared closely at Qin Chaoci's flying fingers.
Li Xiyue didn't lie to him? Qin Chaoci really knows how to make dumplings, and the dumplings are made quickly and well. Not only that, Qin Zhanshu's craftsmanship is also very good.
The father and son stand in a row, usually used to sign and deal with? The fingers of the worker are extremely nimble. The rolled dumpling wrapper is dipped in some water, and a ball of filling is picked out and placed in the center. With a pinch and a buckle, a dumpling is wrapped. Yes, it is the same as the one sold in the store outside.
But in just 10 minutes, a plate full of wrapped dumplings was placed in front of the father and son.
Bai Luo looked down at the "crooked melon and split dates" he had made, feeling ashamed. Compared with the dumplings made by Qin Chaoci, his own dumplings seemed to be immature? The legs are average, in short, they are ugly.
"My good boy's dumplings are also very well made." Li Xiyue encouraged Bai Luo at the right time, "What's so special about making dumplings that look like an assembly line? It's just that they have to be oddly shaped? That's why it's fun."
Bai Luo bowed his head and smiled embarrassingly, but they won't be easily undermined in their self-confidence, even if the bag doesn't look good, it doesn't matter, at least after it's cooked in the pot, he will The dumplings are the most conspicuous and easy to identify!
Qin Chaoci, Bai Luo, Qin Zhanshu, Li Xiyue, and Uncle Sun were busy making dumplings, and Qin Zhenlei couldn't get through, sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching the news broadcast.
After making dumplings for a while, Bai Luo couldn't help but look in the direction where Qin Zhen was. They were busily making dumplings and letting Qin Zhen, an old man, sit alone on the sofa in the living room watching TV, isn't it? great?
Putting down the rolling pin, Li Xiyue wiped her hands on the apron. She patted the back of Bai Luo's hand lightly, signaling? He? Don't worry.
Li Xiyue walked to Qin Zhen's side. The news broadcast on the TV screen was coming to an end. She smiled? Laughed? and said softly, "Dad, the news is almost over. After watching, let's make dumplings together?"
Qin Zhen didn't take his eyes off the TV screen, but just let out a soft snort, signaling that he heard it.
Li Xiyue turned her head to look at the group of people standing or sitting at the dining table, especially Bai Luo, who was bewildered. She shook her head with a smile, turned around and said nonsense with her eyes open: "Dad, Both Zhanshu and Xiaoci's dumpling-making skills have regressed, so I still need you to guide them."
As soon as Qin Zhen heard this, he had a reaction, leaned on a cane and slowly got up, like a proud old cat? It had to be patted down along its fur.
"You guys are still too young to make dumplings." With the support of Li Xiyue, Qin Zhen walked slowly to the dining table, looked at Qin Zhanshu and Qin Chaoci's dumplings that looked like copy and paste without saying a word, and looked slowly again. Turning to the strangely shaped dumpling in front of Bai Luo.
Bai Luo became nervous all of a sudden, afraid that Qin Zhen would scold him for what he was doing.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhen didn't say anything, but looked at Bai Luo with a hint of complacency in his eyes. The old man put down his crutches, sat down at the table, took the already rolled dumpling wrappers, and started wrapping them quickly. stand up.
Their movements are faster than Qin Zhanshu and Qin Chaoci's, and their appearance is also better.
Seeing Bai Luo's stunned and amazed eyes, Qin Zhen said complacently, "This is how you make dumplings? Bao, do you understand?"
Bai Luo nodded again and again, Li Xiyue pushed Bai Luo, smiling cunningly like a fox, Bai Luo seemed to understand something in the haze.
No wonder Qin Zhen's personality allowed his only son, Qin Zhanshu, to marry an ordinary woman with no background. In fact, Li Xiyue was smarter than anyone else and lived a transparent life.
The whole family made dumplings in a friendly manner, and even everyone's head, Qin Zhen, had a rare smile on his face.
When the dumplings are out of the pan, the heat is lingering around, and the dipping sauce has already been adjusted. The dumplings made by myself are delicious. Everyone? Sitting at the table to eat dumplings, and made a few cold and hot dishes, and they are harmonious and beautiful.
This New Year's Eve dinner was more harmonious than Bai Luo imagined.
After eating, it was time to watch the year. After everyone stood around to digest the food, they gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. In fact, Bai Luo thought the show was rather boring, but today he thought it was particularly good-looking.
Maybe it's not that the show has become more exciting, but the people around him make Bai Luo happier.
Qin Zhen is old and can't watch the zero o'clock. He got up at about ten o'clock to wash up and go to bed. He stood up from the sofa and looked at Bai Luo. Bai Luo was so amused by the sketch. Lying upside down in Qin Chaoci's arms.
Qin Chaoci squeezed his hand and said something in his ear, which made people laugh and tremble.
Seeing Qin Zhen looking at him, Bai Luo was shocked instantly, and quickly stood up.
Qin Zhen dragged his cane, walked slowly in front of Bai Luo, and slowly took out a...big red envelope from his pocket!
Bai Luo's eyes were instantly lit up, and Qin Zhen said in an awkward tone, "The lucky money has to be collected."
A big red envelope was placed in Bai Luo's hand. Bai Luo looked at Qin Chaoci in surprise, and then at Li Xiyue. He? Didn't expect that the first person to give him a new year's red envelope was Qin Zhen .
He thought that Qin Zhen didn't like him very much, and thought that if Qin Chao's resignation hadn't been there, Qin Zhen would have wished to kick him out of the Qin family's old house.
"Thank you, grandpa!" Bai Luo's voice was crisp and sweet, with a sweet smile, "I also wish grandpa a happy New Year's Eve!"
A smile flashed across Qin Zhen's face, but he quickly restrained himself. He nodded and took out another red envelope from his pocket to Qin Chaoci. Qin Chaoci didn't refuse, and accepted it happily. .
However, the red envelope given to Qin Chaoci was much smaller than the red envelope given to Bai Luo. Bai Luo carried the new year's bag given by Qin Zhen in his arms, and the bulging red envelope was almost bursting.
After giving the red envelopes to his grandchildren, Qin Zhen nodded, and when he turned to leave, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He looked at Li Xiyue and Qin Zhanshu, frowned and said, "You two, you don't need Did I give you a red envelope?"
Li Xiyue smiled mischievously and said: "Dad, you? If you want to give it, we'll come of course? No
