orphan?
Yue Feiying frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed and chuckled softly:
"What's so scary about being an orphan? I thought you were dreaming about man-eating monsters!"
In her previous life, she had been an orphan for more than 20 years, but she lived a good life. Except for being a little miserable because she was afraid of the dark when she was a child, she had no worries after she grew up and lived a happy life every day.
What's more, it was really unexpected for her that Qi Shengzhi, at his "this age", could still be frightened by such a childish dream.
Qi Shengzhi didn't say anything, but just quietly tightened his arms around her.
Just as Yue Feiying was frowning and preparing to remind him again, Qi Shengzhi suddenly asked:
"Yingying, how are you going to spend the Spring Festival this year?"
Although his change of topic was a bit abrupt, she had actually thought about this question.
Because Shao Jingque told Yue Feiying in advance that she would go to Beijing in a few days to participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala of Beijing TV Station. The official performance would be on New Year's Eve, so she would not be able to come back to have the reunion dinner with Yue Feiying.
Yue Feiying considered that New Year's Eve was still within the contract period, so she couldn't ignore Qi Shengzhi's needs and chase Shao Jingque to Beijing. Therefore, the two of them had to spend New Year's Eve separately this year.
Yue Feiying planned to accompany Qi Shengzhi back to the Qi family to have the New Year's Eve dinner, and then go to the Yue Mansion.
After all, based on her understanding of Yue Jialiang, at such an important moment when the family is reunited for the New Year's Eve dinner, who knows how sentimental he will be!
"I've made up my mind. I'll definitely go back to the Qi family with you for the New Year's Eve dinner, but I want to leave first after that."
"You know my dad cries all the time. He's a little old man and he's really pitiful at home. I'll go home and watch the Spring Festival Gala with him and then come back."
Yue Feiying felt that Qi Shengzhi should be satisfied with this arrangement. After all, when they occasionally returned to Qi's house, they would just eat and leave, and rarely stayed to talk. New Year's Eve should be no exception.
Qi Shengzhi was silent for a while, then tentatively said:
"Yingying, why don't you tell your father-in-law in advance that on New Year's Eve... we can go back to Yue Mansion for a reunion dinner?"
Now it was Yue Feiying's turn to be surprised.
She raised her head suddenly, and her nose hit Qi Shengzhi's chin, and she felt a sharp pain.
"ah......"
Qi Shengzhi hurriedly and nervously looked down and saw that he had indeed knocked a light red spot on Yue Feiying's nose.
Yue Feiying's skin was as white as snow, and this little bit of red seemed to add a touch of blush to her face. Coupled with her playful expression with her nose wrinkled, she seemed less cold and more delicate than usual.
Qi Shengzhi couldn't help but stare in amazement for a moment. After recovering, Yue Feiying gave him a white look, which made her look even more playful and cute in his eyes.
Yue Feiying rubbed her nose in pain and said unhappily:
"Are you kidding me? Don't think I don't understand because I'm from abroad. Don't you have the New Year's Eve dinner at the man's house here? There's no custom of going back to the woman's house for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
After a brief moment of excitement, Yue Feiying quickly came to her senses. She thought Qi Shengzhi was teasing her again, and she accidentally bumped her nose in excitement, and her little mouth pouted immediately.
Qi Shengzhi looked at her cute expression, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his tone was particularly gentle:
"Seriously, their family of three can still be reunited with two of us, and my father-in-law is home alone, so why don't we go back and spend the holiday with him?"
Seeing that he was serious, Yue Feiying's eyes lit up, and she showed no intention of giving in:
"Okay! It's settled then!"
Although she had always been fed up with Yue Jialiang's excessive clinging to her, returning to Yue Mansion was certainly a thousand times better than going to Qi's house to have a New Year's Eve dinner with that bad woman and her lecherous son.
In this way, although it is a bit unfair to her father-in-law, as Qi Shengzhi said, he has his wife and son to accompany him, and it can be regarded as a family reunion, which is much better than her father being a lonely old man!
Yue Feiying quickly let go of the slight guilt in her heart, and the more she looked at Qi Shengzhi, the more satisfied she felt.
To be honest, a husband who thinks like him was rare not only in the 1970s, but also in China fifty years later.
Yue Feiying still remembers that during that time, the social news was all about wives being treated like slaves by their in-laws, not being allowed to sit at the New Year's Eve dinner table, and then flipping the table in anger. Or husbands refusing to go back to their wives' parents' home because they felt embarrassed, and after an argument, they rushed to get a divorce certificate before the marriage registration office closed...
There are many young couples who quarrel as soon as the Spring Festival comes. It is as if the bad habits of thousands of years have been revived at this special moment of the New Year, and social civilization has regressed to thousands of years ago.
At that time, Yue Feiying felt like she was watching a joke when she read these news. She even complained to Shao Jingque venomously, saying that these women had a good life but instead went to find a man to marry. They were just asking for trouble.
Unexpectedly, when she was reborn, she got married without any reason.
Fortunately, I met a "partner" like Qi Shengzhi, so I didn't suffer any grievances.
"Thank you, Qi Shengzhi."
Yue Feiying looked at his peach blossom eyes that were like a pool of spring water and couldn't help but fall into them. When she reacted, her lips were already pressed against his.
This time, Qi Shengzhi did not dodge, but just tightened his arms, lowered his head and kissed her gently.
The kapok flowers are in full bloom outside the window, and a breeze blows, scattering red petals all over the ground.
......
"Okay! I got it! Dad will ask Lao Wang to prepare it now! You just need to make sure they come back!"
Yue Jialiang was already happy enough when he received the call from Yue Feiying. But when he heard that she would go home with Qi Shengzhi to have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve and watch the Spring Festival Gala with him, he was so happy that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to tell Lao Wang the good news, and repeatedly urged Lao Wang to buy more of the dishes that Yue Feiying and Qi Shengzhi liked.
Old Wang was very happy for Yue Jialiang when he heard the news. Originally, because he was worried that Yue Jialiang would be alone at home, he and his wife did not buy tickets to go back home this year. Even so, they were still worried that Yue Jialiang would be sad when he was alone and was reminded of the past.
Now, the young lady and her husband are actually going back to Yue Mansion to spend New Year's Eve with the master and have a family reunion dinner. What could be happier than this for the master!
Lao Wang excitedly called his wife to go out shopping together, fearing that some good ingredients and dried goods would not be available even a month in advance.
With no one at home, Yue Jialiang was filled with joy but had nowhere to share it. He walked around the living room excitedly, rummaging through drawers to find a bottle of twenty-year-old wine hidden somewhere, and then turning on the TV, checking the signals of each channel one by one. In short, he couldn't sit still for a moment.
Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang again.
Yue Jialiang quickly went over and picked up the phone. Before he even heard the sound, a smile broke out on his face:
"Hey, Yingying, did you remember anything you wanted to eat?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and then a deep, middle-aged male voice came over:
"My dear relatives, it's me, Qi Mingyuan."
