Chapter 64: Happy New Year
Chapter 64 Happy New Year
“Dad, come and see, is this dumpling I made right?”
“And mine.”
On the night of New Year's Eve, it was just after six o'clock, and it was completely dark. Every household was busy with the New Year's Eve dinner. The Yunsu siblings called loudly in the living room, and Yun Dajun, who was busy in the kitchen, came out. Check out the dumplings they made.
He looked at Yun Ting first and said, "Yes, just put less stuffing in it, otherwise it will be difficult to wrap it up." Yun Dajun nodded in praise.
Received the praise from his father, Yunting raised his little head proudly.
Looking at Yunsu's again, Yun Dajun looked disgusted, "Are these dumplings you are making? They are loose and loose, and the mouth is not closed. The fillings will be exposed when the pot is turned. Your brother can't make them well. Forget it. Just go watch TV and stop messing around."
Yun Dajun couldn't figure out how he could have a daughter who was a kitchen idiot, even though she could cook some things when she was little.
Yunsu sat aside and watched the two of them busy. The dumplings they made were white, fat, round, and looked delicious. She touched her nose guiltily. After decades of living in the interstellar world, let alone cooking her own food, she only used a nutrient solution to deal with it when she was busy. She had long forgotten all the things in the kitchen.
The Spring Festival Gala is being shown on TV, and the host is introducing the next program in a cheerful tone.
Although there were only three people, Yun Dajun still cooked a large table of dishes. Yun Dajun brought the last steamed fish to the table, and the New Year's Eve dinner began.
"good."
Yunsu was flattered and quickly replied: "Thank you Professor Meng. Happy New Year. May you have good work and good health in the new year."
There are still people in various groups competing for New Year's red envelopes. Yunsu generously distributed several large red envelopes to the work groups of the company and research institute, causing everyone to refresh their screens and thank the boss for his generosity.
"Happy New Year!"
Yun Su smiled, "They were all released secretly. Didn't you see there were patrols outside? We'll go back to Xiushui Town in two days to let you have enough."
After finishing the meal, the family of three sat on the sofa and continued to watch the party. Yunsu's cell phone kept ringing, filled with messages of New Year blessings from everyone. She held her cell phone and replied seriously one by one.
"Then what should I call you? Brother Qin? Brother Jiao? It's hard to speak. Should I call you Fifth Brother like Zhou Ye and the others?"
“Susu, Happy New Year.”
After a moment of silence, Qin Jiao said, "I express my admiration for you. You can call me that."
On the other end of the phone was the man's low and gentle voice, which was full of warmth. Yunsu smiled unconsciously, "Happy New Year, Mr. Wu."
Just as he was responding to the message, Qin Jiao called, and Yunsu went to the balcony to answer it.
“If it’s delicious, eat more. Xiaoting, you can eat too.” Yun Dajun looked at the two siblings with a smile on his face.
Yunsu took a bite and squinted his eyes with satisfaction, "Well, it's delicious. It just tastes like this. It hasn't changed at all."
“Dad, you eat too.” Yunsu picked up vegetables for Yun Dajun.
The three of them also enjoyed their New Year's Eve dinner happily. Outside the window, fireworks flashed from time to time, reflecting the dark night.
"Hello?"
“Here, let’s try the dumplings first. Is it the same as before?” Yun Dajun first put a dumpling into Yunsu’s bowl, looking forward to it.
Qin Jiao stood on the terrace of the Qin family's old house, looking at the snowflakes flying in the dark night, smiling helplessly, "Let's discuss something, can we change the name?" He had wanted to say it a long time ago.
“Come, let’s have a drink together, Happy New Year!”
“If I had known that someone would set off fireworks, we would have bought some fireworks.” Yun Dajun looked regretful.
Classmates, teachers, friends, colleagues from companies and research institutes, etc. Even Professor Meng Huai sent her a message, "Happy New Year, classmate Yunsu."
“Muzhi?” The two words rolled on the tip of his tongue. Yunsu smiled and said, “Why does this word sound so elegant? It’s a bit different from your name.”
"The name was given to me by my father. He is a soldier and had always hoped that I could join the army. My grandfather was a scholar and gave me the name." Qin Jiao explained.
"No wonder, then let me say it again, Happy New Year! Admire it." The girl's cheerful voice came, and Qin Jiao's smile deepened. It was obvious that everyone in the family called him this, so it was not strange, but when it came from Yunsu's mouth, it was strange It has a different smell.
"What are you doing there? Isn't it cold? Come and chat with your dad." Ms. Qin looked at her young son who was talking on the phone on the terrace with a ghostly expression on his face. Who were you talking to on the phone? Can her son still smile so tenderly?
“Come right away.” Qin Jiao said good night to Yun Su, suppressed his smile, and walked to the living room.
After finishing the call with Qin Jiao, Yunsu was still standing on the balcony. This was the first New Year she had come back to celebrate. Now that her father and brother are by her side, she was extremely satisfied and believed that the days to come would get better and better.
May the new year be better than the old one.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, was a day to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings. The Yunsu family had no relatives in Lancheng, so they omitted this part, and the family of three stayed at home comfortably.
It is necessary to go to the Lian family, but there must be more guests coming and going in the past few days, and things are complicated, so Yunsu plans to wait for them to come back from Xiushui Town before going to the Lian family.
Over in Lingyou, because Grandpa Ling and Grandma Ling really miss their grandson, they also returned to the capital to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Unexpectedly, they didn’t go out to pay New Year greetings, but someone would come to their house.
“Qingqing, why are you here?” Yunsu asked in surprise.
Qing Yu was afraid that the Yunsu family would go out to pay New Year greetings, so she rushed over early in the morning, carrying large and small bags. Her face was red from the cold, "It's my mother. She insisted that I come over early to pay you New Year greetings."
"come on in."
Yunsu got her a cup of hot water and held it to warm her body.
“What about auntie? Why didn’t she come with you?”
"My mother is still a little weak and can't breathe. She is watching TV alone at home." Qing Yu lowered his head and took a sip of water to hide the emotions in his eyes.
Yunsu's face darkened. Are they the mother and daughter at home on the first day of the new year? What is her stepfather doing? You're not still out drinking and gambling during the Chinese New Year, are you?
“Susu, who’s here?” Yun Dajun walked out of the room.
“Hello, Uncle Yun, happy New Year!” Qing Yu quickly stood up and bowed to greet the New Year.
Yun Dajun was startled, "Xiaoyu, why are you here alone?"
"Dad, can you go wash some fruits?" Yunsu quickly changed the subject and dismissed her father.
“Xiaoting, sister Xiaoyu is here, call someone quickly.”
“Hello, meet my sister.” The voice was crisp.
“Xiaoting is so good.”
Yunting often does homework in Yashe shop after school, so he is no stranger to Qingyu.
Yunsu chatted with her nonchalantly, and although Qing Yu tried his best to control it, Yunsu still saw that she was not in a good mood, and her heart sank.
"Su Su, I'm leaving first. My mother is still waiting for me at home." After a while, Qing Yu said goodbye.
Yunsu walked to the room and said, "Wait for me. I'll change my clothes and go back with you to see my aunt."
Qing Yu said quickly: "No, Su Su, I can just go back by myself. You should stay at home with your uncle and Xiaoting during the Chinese New Year."
“It’s okay, I’m staying at home. Besides, last time my aunt invited me to dinner, I didn’t go yet. You don’t welcome me to go, right?”
Last time, Qing met her mother and asked Yunsu to have dinner. Yunsu was delayed because of something and could not go.
Yunsu said this deliberately. Sure enough, Qing was in a hurry and said quickly: "How could it be? I'm sure you'll welcome him."
“Then let’s go.”
Yunsu greeted Yun Dajun and went out. Before leaving, Yun Dajun forced Qing Yu to receive a New Year's red envelope.
