Chapter 444 Things to do during the Chinese New Year

Chu Ge simply didn't bother to type anymore and just helped his mother and Qiu Qiu with the work.

Not until the meal was ready did Chu Jiangliu come back leisurely with his hands behind his back, bringing a bottle of white wine.

Chu Ge was so angry that his teeth itched: "Sure, Old Chu, why didn't I realize you were so sinister before?"

"Ah? What happened to me?" Chu Jiangliu looked confused: "I just went to buy a bottle of wine, what happened?"

"It took you over an hour to buy a bottle of wine?"

"I met some acquaintances on the way and chatted with them in the yard... Do you think they are all like you, with few classmates and friends?"

Chu Ge gnashed his teeth: "You must have known that they would have all sorts of things going on, so you deliberately hid away to let me have a taste of it, right?"

Chu Jiangliu patted his shoulder amiably and said, "You've been away from home for so long, you must be missing something. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that, but it's a pity that you don't."

Chu Ge: "Damn! Is this your military strategy?"

"What are you two, father and son, whispering about? Come over and serve the food!"

The two men went to serve the dishes. The table was full. Chu Jiangliu sat down comfortably and unscrewed the bottle of wine: "Would you like a drink?"

Chu Ge's heart moved slightly.

This seemed to be the first time my dad had a drink with me.

"You're married now, and you're an adult now." Chu Jiangliu seemed to know what he was thinking. He slowly poured him more wine and said with a smile, "Your parents didn't let you touch this or that before. It wasn't because you couldn't, but because you were not old enough. Now you're a grown man with a family and a career, and you can also make contributions to the country. You know what you can and can't do."

“So different ages should have different standards, right?”

"Of course."

"Then why don't we grade our works? Adults must also consider the scale of children, but children's teaching materials can be this or that?"

Chu Jiangliu: "...if you can chat, then just eat some food."

Chugo snorted twice and took a sip of wine.

Modern winemaking techniques are better than those in the book, but unfortunately they lack spirit and artistic conception. Chu Ge actually thinks that the book is still better...

Chu Jiangliu said slowly: "It is impossible to classify them. I will not mention all kinds of troubles. I will only say one thing: because the classification means allowing three levels, which is impossible, at least not in the short term."

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he suddenly realized: "TM, there is this layer..."

"So I want dad to help you with this matter. If I can't, let's talk about something else."

"...Then there's nothing to say." Chu Ge raised his eyebrows: "I don't know who wants help from whom now."

"Oh!" Chu Jiangliu was both angry and amused: "Okay, okay, okay, we need your help. Give us a grandson to hug."

Qiu Wuji, who was eating the melon, got a mouthful of vegetable stuck in his mouth, his cheeks bulged and his eyes widened.

Chu Ge suddenly lost his temper and said hesitantly, "Well, we may not be able to do it for the time being. If we want to have a baby, we can only do it in books."

"Bang!" Wu Xiuyun slammed her chopsticks on the table: "You dare!"

Qiu Wuji's head was almost dropped into the bowl, and his little feet stepped hard on Chu Ge's instep under the table, signaling him to stop talking.

Chu Ge's face twitched with pain, and he could only say: "Qiuqiu is not her real body in the real world, this is a bit troublesome... We must build a channel between the two worlds... In fact, it is not impossible to give birth in the book, as long as there is a channel, we can bring the child out..."

"Tell me!" Wu Xiuyun asked forcefully, "How do we build the channel? Tell me who we want to kill! Is it Sandro?"

Chu Ge: “…”

Chu Jiangliu smacked his lips and said, "Just be quiet. Killing Sandro is useless. It would be more meaningful to gather the four symbols and establish the four poles..."

Chu Ge glanced over and said, "You understand now?"

Chu Jiangliu snorted twice: "With just that little stuff you have, you really think you are so mysterious. I can guess it."

Chu Ge stopped talking and lowered his head to eat.

Chu Jiangliu took a sip of wine and said, "The Four Symbols are now a must-have. I already have some information about the White Tiger, and I hope you can find more clues about the Vermillion Bird."

Chu Ge asked, "We have been searching for so long with all our national strength but still have no clues?"

"This is a world matter, and to be honest, a few years is only the beginning for this kind of thing. Apart from anything else, humankind's exploration of supernatural powers has already been measured in thousands of years. The emergence of the Four Symbols has made this matter more concrete and given it a clear direction, that's all."

Chugo nodded silently.

Chu Jiangliu suddenly laughed: "Look at what we are talking about. Is this what other people talk about during the New Year? Let's eat."

Wu Xiuyun said: "What's wrong with talking about these things? These are related to our grandchildren!"

Qiu Wuji reluctantly said the first sentence: "We will try our best."

Chu Ge: “?”

Chu Jiangliu: “…”

Wu Xiuyun: “…”

Qiu Wuji looked at the three people's strange looks and his face turned red. "No, I'm not talking about trying to create a human! I'm talking about trying to find clues about the Four Symbols, the Vermillion Bird, and so on... You, what are you looking at with those expressions!"

The whole family said "Oh~" with deep meaning.

Chugo's "oh" quickly turned into "ow~", and he bent like a shrimp, reaching under the table to hug his feet.

The old couple both laughed, and suddenly they felt that there seemed to be a bit of a New Year atmosphere in the atmosphere.

Wu Xiuyun pressed the TV remote control and said with a smile, "The Spring Festival Gala seems to be almost over, let's go and have a look?"

Qiu Wuji blinked his big eyes, not knowing what the Spring Festival Gala was.

Chu Ge hugged his feet and sighed: "In our customs, in addition to firecrackers, spring couplets, dinner and New Year greetings, watching the Spring Festival Gala as a family is also one of the more representative concepts of celebrating the New Year, but I haven't watched it for many years..."

Chu Jiangliu said, "We haven't watched it for many years. Over the years, the arts have been developing better and better, and more and more money has been invested. The Spring Festival Gala must be better than before, right?"

Wu Xiuyun said happily: "Of course, look at how exquisite and grand the stage is."

Chu Ge turned his head away, not having the heart to disturb his parents’ fantasies.

Qiu Wuji was also curious as he ate while watching, thinking that the evening party, which was regarded as a grand event during the Chinese New Year according to modern customs, must be very interesting, and maybe he could learn some knowledge of calligraphy, painting and music from it.

Half an hour later.

Qiu Wuji carefully transmitted his thoughts: "That's it?"

Chugo replied sadly: "That's it."

"This crosstalk is not as good as the storytelling in the world of books."

“…I guess not as good as that.”

"Why do my parents urge me to have a baby when I go home? Why do I have to watch a skit on TV and have to have a baby when I watch a skit on TV? I guess only my parents like this kind of show, right?"

“…That may not be the case.”

One hour later.

Chu Jiangliu stood up with a stern face: "I'm going to wash the dishes. I don't really want to see anyone giving me a lesson."

Wu Xiuyun said, "I'm going too. Hey, Qiuqiu, please sit down. It's nice to watch a comedy with Chu Geduo during the New Year..."

Qiu Wuji: “…”

The young couple sat on the sofa as if they were constipated. At this time, Qiu Wuji was a little surprised: "Hey, no one in your family visited relatives during the New Year?"

"Who visits relatives on New Year's Eve... But then again, we don't have any relatives."

Qiu Wuji asked curiously, "How come there are no relatives? Have they lost contact or what?"

Chu Ge touched his chin and said, "I haven't had this since I was a child. I've never heard of it. Maybe my parents were only children, and then the old people passed away. It's not strange."

Isn't this strange? Qiu Wuji still thinks it's a little strange. After all, there are distant cousins. You all said she's my distant cousin when you registered my household registration... If you said we haven't seen each other for many years, it's understandable. But you didn't think it was strange that you hadn't heard of her since you were a child...

Forget it. It seems that I am not a standard modern person. I cannot understand modern people’s relationship with their relatives, and I cannot understand what kind of ideals a modern family has to watch this completely ugly party as a New Year activity.

Qiu Wuji just felt that no matter how good or bad the party was, it was not bad for the whole family to watch it lively, curse and complain together, but it was a little too masochistic...

Never mind. It doesn’t matter whether the party is good or not. What matters is that the family is together.

Qiu Wuji secretly glanced towards the kitchen, listened to the sound of washing dishes inside, quietly leaned his head on Chu Ge's shoulder, and watched the dance on TV with wandering eyes.

It was pretty good. It was the first time in ten thousand years that I spent New Year with my family...

As for trying hard to have a baby... Qiu Wuji's eyes were vague and he didn't know where his mind was going.
