Qi Yang had to take him to eat too much, and there were too many places to take him to play. He had a day at amusement parks and a few tourist attractions. Sometimes he drove more than ten or dozens of kilometers to eat a meal. A week was not enough, and it passed quickly.

Shao Huarong invited her last meal in the provincial capital.

Lu Jiayi was in their house for a week. Except for seeing her when she first came, this was the second time she saw him. Qi Yang said she had gone abroad.

"She is just like that, she is not at home every few days." He said to Lu Jiayi.

"Then you used to be alone?"

"I have an aunt at home," said Qi Yang.

Rich people have their troubles.

Shao Huarong said: "If the Chinese New Year was not coming soon, my aunt would have kept you here until school starts before going back. But it's okay. Next time the summer vacation is over, you and Qi Yang will come together to stay for more days."

Shao Huarong gave him a big red envelope, saying that it was the first time he saw him, and it was almost the Spring Festival, so he should give it to him. Qi Yang asked him to collect it.

It was about to celebrate the Spring Festival. Lu Jiayi thought Qi Yang was going to stay in the provincial capital, but she didn't expect Qi Yang to buy two tickets.

"Don't you stay here for the New Year?"

"My mother and her family are busier during the Spring Festival and don't have home. I'll go back to spend time with the old man and the others. The elderly love to be lively."

That's true. Qi Yang went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Mr. Qi and the others must be very happy.

Lu Jiayi was also very happy. He was worried that he would be dizzy when riding the train alone.

When they left, they were sent by Sun Quan and his daughter. Shao Huarong had something to do and couldn't leave. Seeing Qi Yang's appearance, I had been used to it.

However, Sun Xiaoxiao was reluctant to let Qi Yang go, so she held his legs and refused to let go. In the end, she cried, and Lu Jiayi was moved.

Children are cute.

Lu Jiayi didn't even open the red envelopes given by Shao Huarong. Just looking at the red envelopes, they seemed quite thick, and they felt very stressed when they received them. When they got home, they gave them to Lin Xiuying for a look, they were 2,000 yuan.

Lin Xiuying was stunned for a long time, then put it away and said, "Mom will save it for you."

It's enough for their family's half a year's living expenses.

Lin Xiuying picked a few pieces of tender tofu and some bean sprouts, and then went to Tang Saner's place to ask for a bag of live shrimps, so that Lu Jiayi could send it to Qi's house.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the New Year's market is about to end. The commercial street in Osmanthus is full of people all day long, selling New Year's goods, and it is very lively. Jiang Chao is also setting up a stall there. When he saw Lu Jiayi, he greeted him.

"Who did you sell it for?"

"My uncle, he came here to sell dried salted fish. Oh, let me give you some?"

Lu Jiayi said: "I will come back later and buy it, and I will support you."

He brought his things to Qi's house, and saw Qi Yang killing chickens in the yard. Old Mrs. Qi was helping around. Seeing Lu Jiayi coming, he stood up and said, "Jiayi is here."

"Hello grandma." Lu Jiayi took the thing and stared at the chicken in Qi Yang's hand. The chicken was still fluttering, and the blood was splashing out, which was a little scary. Old man Qi was in the house, but when he heard Lu Jiayi's voice, he came out quickly. But when he saw the chicken blood, he was so scared that he oh and retreated again.

Old Mrs. Qi said disgustedly: "You are also a man, so timid!"

Only then did Lu Jiayi remember her purpose and took the things in her hand: "My mother asked me to give you some food."

"Thank you for her." Old Mrs. Qi took it and said, "Oh, this shrimp is still alive."

As she said that, she took her into the kitchen. Lu Jiayi saw Qi Yang killing the chicken. Old man Qi called him: "Jiayi, come here, let's take two dishes. What's the best thing about killing the chicken? It's bloody."

Qi Yang said, "You go into the house, it's cold outside."

Old Mrs. Qi came out with a kettle and said to Old Mrs. Qi: "It's bloody, bloody, then don't eat it. You have to eat it and slaughter it alive, but you're afraid of this and that."

Lu Jiayi thought it was interesting to have an old couple’s bickering.

When he came, Old Mrs. Qi refused to let him go and insisted on keeping him for lunch: "The domestically raised old hen is nutritious."

When he was having a meal, Qi Yang asked him how he would celebrate New Year's Eve.

"My mother said she would watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve." Lu Jiayi said, "It's also considered to be around the New Year, do you guys watch it?"

"We couple can't stay up as late as you young people." said Old Man Qi, "I go to bed every year when I see it at eight or nine o'clock."

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Lu Jiayi wanted to see Mrs. Lu. She originally wanted Qi Yang to take him to secretly, but on the 30th, Lin Xiuying actually prepared a box of things for him, including bananas, sugar cakes, bread, roast chicken and other items, and asked him to deliver them to Mrs. Lu.

Lu Jiayi was very surprised. Lin Xiuying said: "I see the weather forecast that there will be snow on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It will be difficult to walk on the road after the snow. You might as well go in advance. You will go there at 30 and you won't have to go after the New Year."

She rented a tricycle for Lu Jiayi. After Lu Jiayi left the community, she called Qi Yang to ask if she would go.

As a result, Qi Yang was not available, so he wanted to help Mr. Qi deliver things to his relatives.

It's time for the Chinese New Year, and there are many relatives in the Qi family. Mr. Qi and his wife are old and usually receive gifts during the Chinese New Year, and they collect a bunch of them every year. Mrs. Qi felt that there were enough things placed at home, so she asked Qi Yang and others to send them to some of the relatives and friends who had been around.

"When visiting relatives during the New Year, you tell them that we have everything in our family and don't need to bring anything, but outsiders don't think that's the case. Should they bring it with you? You and your grandfather will send it to them in advance so that they can buy less during the New Year."

Old Mrs. Qi picked out all the food she didn't eat at home and set it up like a bunch of hills. A few Qi Yang stopped him and said, "Don't give this to me, I'll keep it useful."

Old Mrs. Qi was surprised: "What's the use of you? Who will I give it to?"

Qi Yang said: "I will go to Lu Jiayi's house to take you during the Chinese New Year."

Old Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "That doesn't need to be so good."

Qi Yang didn't say anything and took it aside.

Their house was delivered to them, and Shao Huarong gave it to them. The messenger sent several boxes of New Year’s goods to them. Mr. Qi said: "Fortunately, we haven't purchased these New Year’s goods, otherwise the refrigerator would not be stuffed."

Except for the fact that his son died early, the old couple of Qi's family had nothing bad to do. Although his daughter-in-law remarried, it was rare, but she was rich and willing to spend it for them. Her baby grandson was filial and accompanied them to celebrate the New Year and lived by their side. On the night of 30, Mrs. Qi lit incense behind the door of each room, and chanted something when she kowtowed, and there was nothing else to bless her, just the sentence: "Bless my grandson to get into college."

She also asked Qi Yang to kowtow too, but Qi Yang ignored her. The old lady was a little angry and said, "You young people, everything is superstitious."

Incense was burned everywhere in the house, and a large handful of burnt in the middle of the yard was filled with a faint smell of smoke. In the happiness that usually darkened when it was dark, it was brightly lit on New Year's Eve. Every household turned on all the lights in the house, illuminating the entire community like daytime. The sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time, and the New Year atmosphere became stronger.

Qi Yang came out of the house wearing a down jacket, and the old lady chased her out and asked, "Where are you going?"

“Go out and have a walk.”

"Don't forget to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Know."

Qi Yang rode his bike out, and several people from Jiang Chao and his basketball team made an appointment to drink. When they arrived at the restaurant, two of them were not here. He came out with cigarettes and called Lu Jiayi outside.

Lu Jiayi was helping Lin Xiuying. The phone rang for a long time before he heard it. When he saw that it was Qi Yang who called, he pressed the speakerphone and asked while working: "Have you had dinner?"

"No."

"Qi Yang," Lin Xiuying called out, her crisp voice was so scared that Qi Yang's hand trembled. Only then did she realize that Lu Jiayi had turned on the hands-free, so she quickly called "Auntie". Lin Xiuying smiled and said, "Come here to eat without food, auntie invites you."

"No, I'll eat outside with my friends." Qi Yang said.

Actually, there was nothing else to do when calling, just talk to Lu Jiayi when he was idle. He didn't know what to say when he opened the hands-free one. Lu Jiayi wiped his hand, turned off the hands-free one, raised it to his ear and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No." Qi Yang heard that there was no noise about cooking there in an instant, so he knew that the hands-free was turned off, so he said, "Are you coming out?"

"I have to eat before I can go out."

“What to eat?”

"Stewed with mushrooms in chickens, cold beef, braised fish, and tofu stir-fried vegetables."

Lin Xiuying next to him said, "There are also rice wine dumplings and cold cucumbers."

Lu Jiayi smiled and said, "There are also dumplings and cold cucumbers."

"Cooking so much, can you finish eating?"

"So you come and eat." Lu Jiayi said.

Qi Yang said, "Then I'll see if I'm free."

"Who are you eating with?"

"Jiang Chao, Zhou Fang, how many of our basketball teams are there."

"Drink less wine."

"Know."

Everyone there had already arrived, so Qi Yang hung up the phone, smoked the last half of the cigarette, and went in to have a meal.

However, he didn't eat for long. He came mainly to pay the bill. After half an hour of eating, he went home and accompanied Mr. Qi and the others to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

The Qi family made more hearty and couldn't finish it. Old man Qi said, "Okay, the first meal in the New Year tomorrow, I'm going to eat leftovers."

"Eat dumplings in the morning and eat leftovers at noon." said Old Mrs. Qi.

After she said that, she looked at Qi Yang: "Ask Jiayi, come to our house to play, aren't their house without a firewall?"

"Their family is just fucking with him, it's not appropriate for him to come out." Qi Yang said.

Old Mrs. Qi talked about Lin Xiuying: "He was pretty when he was young, but... he didn't have the peace of mind to find someone who was reliable. Now it's not possible. He is so old. In fact, she should find another one while she is not old. In the future, if the child leaves home, what's the point of living alone?"

Qi Yang took the last sip of soup, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "Why didn't you say that at that time?"

When Shao Huarong remarried, the old lady was so angry. Shao Huarong still got pregnant before marriage. At that time, she was pregnant with Sun Xiaoxiao. Old Mrs. Qi was so angry that it seemed that Shao Huarong had a cuckold on her son.

Old Mrs. Qi glared at him: "It was the past, it is the present."

Sometimes it is still difficult to change people's old-fashioned ideas. It is not enough to just think through yourself, but also to educate them through reality. She discovered that after Shao Huarong remarries, she treats them no differently than before, and gradually she feels that remarrying is not a bad thing. At first, she really couldn't accept it. Although she knew that her son was gone and her daughter-in-law was her personal freedom whether she remarried or not, she still had the idea of ​​her selfish desire to keep her grandson and not remarrying.

"Hey, I have someone. Chunlin's third uncle seems to have his wife died two years ago. He is a good person, but he has a daughter who is married. He is a contractor. He has just built two small buildings in his family and lives a good life. I heard that he wants to remarry a few days ago."
