Chapter 231 New Year

In the few days before the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Tang family had been decorating their new home.

Tang Yichen was responsible for writing the couplets, and he also wrote many Chinese characters for "blessing", so that "blessings" would fill the entire home.

Li Taohua and a few children cut a lot of paper-cuts for the windows, and beautiful patterns were pasted on the inside and outside of every room.

Tang Dafu made two huge red lanterns and hung them on the left and right sides of the gate. Li Taohua saw that the lanterns looked good and asked him to make some smaller ones and hang them in every corner of the house.

Xue Weifeng followed suit and wrote the word "Fu". His handwriting was not as good as Tang Yichen's, so Tang Yichen disliked it, but other people in the village did not dislike it. In addition, this young master from a wealthy family had no airs at all, and he became a celebrity in the village in just a few days. He could also skillfully call out the names of the villagers he had met.

After decorating the new home, it is time to prepare for the New Year. A lot of things happened this year and everyone was very hard. I want to relax during this time and just think about happy things.

Qin Huiyin cut many patterns and went to Song's house to decorate. She also took Tang Dafu's two small red lanterns and hung them directly at the door of Song's house.

Song Ruize didn't have much expectation for the New Year. But seeing Qin Huiyin busying around, he also took out his pen and ink to write a couplet.

When Qin Huiyin saw the couplet written by Song Ruize, she was surprised. His handwriting was different from Tang Yichen's. His handwriting was sharp, like a sword flying.

"Is it too ugly?" Song Ruize felt uncomfortable when he saw Qin Huiyin staring at the words he wrote.

He had no one to teach him, so he practiced with the calligraphy books he bought. But for some reason, he always felt that those calligraphy books were not very good, so he developed his own way of writing.

"Brother, you write so well." Qin Huiyin said, "This is the legendary talented player."

"You don't have to comfort me."

"Do I look so untrustworthy?" Qin Huiyin patted his arm. "That's too much! I'm so sincere, and you actually doubt me."

"I trust you."

"That's more like it. By the way, come to our place for a reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year!"

"No, my last name is Song."

"My last name is Qin!" Qin Huiyin hugged Song Ruize's arm. "I'll make dumplings, can we eat together?"

"Yinyin, the New Year is different from other days. It's not good to have outsiders around."

"There is another person named Xue in the family. You should learn from him, and he won't feel embarrassed." Qin Huiyin was dissatisfied. "I don't care, you have to accompany me."

Song Ruize still didn't agree. However, Qin Huiyin kept pestering him and insisted that he stay with her, so he finally nodded and agreed.

On New Year's Eve, Qin Huiyin made dumplings, and the whole family ate the steaming dumplings from the hot pot.

Song Ruize appeared at the Tang family again, and everyone in the Tang family was not surprised, and tacitly accepted his joining. Even Tang Yichen, who didn't get along with him, didn't say anything.

After the meal, Xue Weifeng said, "There will be a surprise later."

When fireworks appeared in the sky, everyone understood what surprise he was talking about.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Isn't it too early to let off?" Tang Yi said with a smile.

"We have fireworks today and tomorrow. We are not short of them." Xue Weifeng said with a dignified look.

"Brother Wei Feng, what does your family do?" Tang Yi smiled curiously.

"Hehe...keep it a secret." Xue Weifeng said mysteriously, "Anyway, when we get to the capital, I'll invite you to my home. You'll know then."

The village had never been so lively as it was today. Most of them had never seen fireworks before. When the fireworks exploded in the sky, the whole village came out.

"It must be the fireworks bought by the young master of the Tang family."

“It’s so beautiful.”

Song Ruize and Qin Huiyin stood side by side, and on the other side of Qin Huiyin was Tang Yichen. They looked at the fireworks in the sky, and their hearts were very warm.

Tang Dafu put his arm around Li Taohua's shoulders and looked at her affectionately: "Wife, we will be together in the future and never separate."

Li Taohua nodded.

Who can tell what will happen in the future?

However, his sincerity is very precious at this moment, so I won't pour cold water on him.

Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao stood beside Tang Yichen.

Xue Weifeng squeezed over, sandwiched between Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "The fireworks here are not that good. The fireworks in the capital can be transformed into various patterns. However, we have you here, and you are more interesting than those people in the capital, so the fireworks here are not bad."

The fireworks lasted for a long time.

Qin Huiyin looked at Xue Weifeng as if he were a boy giving away money: "Brother Weifeng, you are too extravagant."

Xue Weifeng waved his hands, as if it was nothing.

The fireworks display was over and everyone went back home to warm themselves by the fire.

In fact, it was not cold at all in the new house. They ate dried fruits, cracked melon seeds, shelled peanuts, and enjoyed all kinds of cakes.

I have to keep watch tonight, and I thought it would be very hard to endure. After all, I have been sleeping early and getting up early since I came to this plane, and my biological clock is very stable. However, there are so many people to chat and laugh with me, especially Xue Weifeng who is very good at telling stories. I told them what I saw and heard along the way, just like listening to a storyteller, and I became more energetic the more I listened.

"It's almost time, let's take a break. We have to get up early tomorrow." Li Taohua saw Qin Weiyin yawning several times, and calculated the time to end tonight's activities.

Qin Huiyin pulled Song Ruize: "Don't leave either. It's so late, it's so dark outside, and the ground is very slippery."

"We have a guest room at home." Li Taohua said, "If you don't mind, you can stay here tonight. Yinyin doesn't want you to be alone. If you don't want her to worry, just listen to her."

Song Ruize touched Qin Huiyin's hair and said, "It's just a short distance in a village. What's there to worry about? That's my home. I have to protect it. I'll come again tomorrow."

"Okay then!" Qin Huiyin took out a lantern and handed it to him. "Be careful."

After Song Ruize left, the whole family returned to their respective rooms and lay on the warm big bed.

Xue Weifeng listened to the sound of the wind outside, but his mind became clearer and clearer, and he couldn't fall asleep.

He suddenly felt homesick.

He didn't think much of it at first. After all, it was rare to leave Beijing, and the outside world was much more interesting than Beijing. He also met such an interesting family. He felt very comfortable living here.

However, now lying here alone, thinking about the warm family atmosphere of the Tang family, I suddenly thought of my family far away in Beijing.

Without this troublemaker like him, do they not have to apologize everywhere anymore?

Xue Weifeng didn't know how he fell asleep. He was awakened by the crackling sound of firecrackers. When he heard the sound, he immediately regained his energy, put on his clothes and ran out excitedly.

"Brother Jinzhi, get up, hurry up, I'm here to give you a red envelope."
