Nouveau riche vs real rich

At the beginning of February, the days at the end of the Lunar New Year are always the coldest time of the year. On New Year’s Eve, there was dense snow. The snowflakes were not big, but dense. Yan Ailin returned to her mother's house at noon, and it was one of the few times her mother took the initiative to ask her to go back for dinner. Qin Shu didn't come after visiting her in the hospital last time, and asked casually A few words "what's the matter?" Yan Ailin didn't say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions. When she got home, Qin Shu was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. For Qin Shu in the kitchen, it was already a miracle.

In the past, Yan Ailin made the reunion dinner every year. It was said that it was the reunion dinner, and it was always just the two of them. No matter how bastard Qin Shu was on weekdays, she still wouldn't bring those messy men home on New Year's Eve. A few years ago, they first chattered about Yan Kai's fickleness and ungratefulness, and then became concerned about Yan Ailin's choice of a son-in-law. Yan Ailin has always avoided the edge, and the relationship between mother and daughter has not been salty or weak. Going on, if she hadn't gone too far this year, Yan Ailin wouldn't have moved out.

Qin Shu's food is of course not very delicious, the fish is fried in the lake, the soup is not fresh, and even the rice is a bit raw because of the lack of water, but it doesn't matter, Yan Ailin still eats It was very fragrant, and it was rare to eat a lot. It has nothing to do with whether your appetite is good or not. The reunion dinner for two people was very quiet. There were children in the downstairs community throwing firecrackers. Qin Shu wanted to respond to the occasion. After drinking some red wine, Yan Ailin's body was fine, and the old and new wounds on his hands began to scab, but his cough did not heal. There was a bowl of steamed pears on the table, and the steamed pears were soft Death, this rare warmth is really unimaginable, Qin Shu said with Jiu Jin, "How can you die before I die, who will take care of me after you die?" She raised her head, speaking so selfishly.

Yan Ailin just lowered her head and drank the juice made from the bowl of steamed pears. It tasted thick and sweet with rock sugar. After she finished drinking, she wiped her mouth and said calmly, "I won't come back for dinner tonight."

Seeing Qin Shu's face change, she added, "Go to a friend's house."

On New Year's Eve, in the middle of the afternoon, at around 4 o'clock, Yan Ailin came to Ye Chen's house with a gift and a red envelope. Just before entering the courtyard, he could hear the noise from afar. Atmosphere, the door was not closed tightly, as if waiting for guests from afar, she stood by the door and hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed the door open, a bunch of people were sitting on the carpet, as if they were playing some game, There was a fireplace next to it, and it was very warm. There were many people in the room, some she knew and some she didn't know. Shangguan Shuishui looked at her first, "Why are you here so late? We have played several rounds."

As Shui Shui yelled, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on her, including Ye Chen who was holding a fruit plate. Maybe because she was at home, she only wore a cashmere coat and looked up in a casual and comfortable way. Glancing at her, seeing her coming, she put down the fruit plate in her hand, and politely introduced as the host, "This is my father, this is Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Shuishui's younger brother, this is his friend, and you know everyone else." Yan Ailin He nodded his head and said hello, and Rong Rong, the artist cook in their shop, was left.Everyone sat around playing poker, with all kinds of candies, snacks, fruits, and tea beside them. Even Ye Tianba also participated.

After Yan Ailin greeted everyone, he pulled Ye Chen aside, gave a handy gift, and said softly, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! Thank you." Ye Chen took the New Year's gift and held it tightly in his hand.

The two of them were a little embarrassed at once, because Yan Ailin really wanted to say "I'm sorry" to her because of the unpleasant experience in the ward last time, no matter what, she shouldn't have yelled at Ye Chen.

"I........"

"you........"

As soon as they opened their mouths, the two spoke in unison again, and the atmosphere became very delicate. The people playing on the carpet not far away burst into laughter. In the kitchen, Sister Fan was the chef and Rong Qingqing was helping. At that moment, the room was full of Yan Ailin was touched by the tranquility of his son's years.

"You talk first." Ye Chen put his hands behind his back and glanced at his mouth.

"Ye Chen..." Yan Ailin stared at her, her eyes were deep, as if covered with mist, she crossed her fingers, bit her lips and said, "I'm sorry."

After she finished speaking, her eye sockets turned slightly red.

The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was huge, and the windowpane was foggy. Ye Chen turned around and looked out the window, his index finger was scribbling on the windowpane. Just as she was about to say something, she was called out by Rong Qingqing who came out of the kitchen. go.

Since then, the two of them didn't talk to each other before the official New Year's Eve dinner. Ye Chen started to rush up and down. Seeing that Yan Ailin was alone, Shui Shui quickly pulled her down to play together. She seldom played on weekdays. Shui Shui carefully taught her such things. She is not stupid at all, and she will be able to after watching a game or two. In her spare time, she saw Ye Chen going in and out of the living room from time to time, throwing her eyes towards her, and waiting for her to look up. When going up, that person's eyes dodged again, and the whole afternoon was very enjoyable.

It didn't take long for the sky to turn gray. It was deep winter, and it was getting dark early. Ye Chen and the others prepared dinner, and the fun-loving people dispersed. Before the meal, Rong Qingqing prepared some wax paper money and firecrackers. In the garden outside, the sound of firecrackers was lit first, crackling and resounding throughout the villa area, and then the incense wax paper money was placed in a basin, Ye Chen and Ye Tianba both went out, Ye Chen took the torn paper money Light it on the candle and put it in a basin, kneel down there, "Mom, it's Chinese New Year, my dad and I will give you red envelopes, you come and get them, you have to wear new clothes for the New Year, be happy, if you are not happy, buy a red envelope Bags, buy as much as you want, tell me if you don’t have enough money..." Ye Chen said some homely things, as if chatting with her dead mother, kowtowed, Ye Tianba also burned some paper money The New Year's Eve dinner officially started, and Ye Chen's friends crowded the long ivory stone table in her house. It just so happened this year that no one went back to their hometown for the New Year's Eve. Originally, Ye Chen was going to pick up her grandma , her grandma would never come.

Ye Tianba greeted these juniors for dinner. He was very happy that Ye Chen could bring so many friends to his house for the New Year. This daughter has been staying at home these days and was unhappy. She didn't say anything when asked her, but suddenly she didn't go out anymore. , no matter what the reason is, he doesn't bother to care about the reason, as long as Ye Chen is willing to come back and forgive him, he is willing to do anything, he drank white wine, and several men followed suit, Ye Chen asked for water and water for himself The red wine bypassed Yan Ailin without raising her head, "You're still coughing, stop drinking."

Yan Ailin only said that she was fine, and her cough would not heal for a while. The atmosphere was so good tonight, she didn't want to spoil the fun, because even Sister Fan and the others were holding wine. Ye Tianba felt a little touched, and raised his glass Just finished it, and when he was about to drink the third cup, Ye Chen covered the rim of the cup with his palm, "You drank too much."

"No, Dad is happy tonight."

Ye Chen didn't allow him to say any more, he just took the wine glass and let Rong Rong go away. Surprisingly, Ye Tianba was fine too. She is getting more and more domineering, which means that she is getting older.

Ye Chen held a wine glass and toasted one by one. After three rounds of drinking, she herself had drunk a lot, her face was flushed, and she was still smiling. She poured wine and greeted each other. Everyone at the table had their own thoughts , Shangguan Shuishui also drank a lot, that New Year's Eve dinner was eaten for a long time, and it was very likely that he would eat directly to keep the rhythm of the year.

The men drank for a while and didn't have much fun, so they got off the table to play mahjong, only Ye Chen, Shangguan Shuishui, and Yan Ailin were left. Shuishui sat next to Ye Chen, and Yan Ailin sat opposite them , the three of them may also drink less Yan Ailin, Shui Shui's eyes are already a little blurred, and he is still drinking with Ye Chen, Yan Ailin is not easy to persuade.

"Have you broken up with that person?" Ye Chen drank a little too much and couldn't help asking Shui Shui without any worries.

"It's broken, it's broken a long time ago." Shui Shui said guiltily, only drinking.

After drinking a cup, her head was about to explode. She stood up, obviously no longer wanting to talk about this topic, waved her hands, and dragged her heavy steps, "I can't do it, I have to lie down." After speaking, she was about to fall to the ground Going down, Ye Chen wanted to step forward to support her, but Rong Qingqing, who was quick-sighted and quick-handed, seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity, so she caught Shuishui and stammered, "I... ...Get her up." Rong Qingqing's tiger body hugged Shangguan Shui Shui up the stairs, but Ye Chen fell off the chair when he was about to help Shui Shui After getting down, Yan Ailin ran around the long table to pull her, and then said softly, "Stop drinking, you drink too much."

Ye Chen's mind was muddled, the moment Yan Ailin took a step forward to hug her, he felt a thud, did his heart beat out?The fact is that she drank too much alcohol and her heart rate speeded up. Her eyes were blurred. When Yan Ailin hugged her like this, the water in her eye sockets was about to burst out. Yan Ailin had no choice but to carry her. Woke up, fortunately she was not unconscious and could walk by herself, only Yan Ailin carried her on his shoulders, she borrowed her strength, went upstairs like this, and returned to Ye Chen's bedroom, Yan Ailin Lin put her on the bed, glanced at her, and was about to turn around and leave.

Are you leaving now?Are you going to leave without saying anything?Ye Chen jumped out word by word with a crying voice, "You! Come back! Come!"

Yan Ailin paused, then turned around innocently, "I just went downstairs to make you hangover tea."
