Chapter 274 Sui Sui Helps You!
Uncle Sun suppressed a laugh and said, "Old Qin, you're stealing from your own workplace. Don't wait until there aren't enough dishes for a single plate at dinner."
"nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin turned around angrily and glared at Sun Shu, saying, "I'm just tasting it for everyone to see if it's salty enough!"
He spoke with conviction, but his puffed-out cheeks were still twitching, clearly indicating that he hadn't swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth yet.
The video ends, followed by a scene of Grandpa Qin and several others sitting around a table, playing cards with great enthusiasm.
Director Qin looked at his phone, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Just from these two videos, he could feel how happy the old man was over there.
Especially when seeing the other videos that Uncle Sun sent afterward, there were videos of Lin Yan'an pasting the couplets crookedly and being teased by the old man, Zhong Wan secretly feeding the two old men meatballs, and the two old men leisurely lying on recliners, chatting and petting cats with smiles.
Every video is filled with a sense of everyday life, something that doesn't exist in his home.
As Director Qin looked at the document, the slight annoyance he felt from being criticized by his father vanished instantly, replaced by a more complex mix of emotions: relief, envy, and a barely perceptible sense of... loss.
He sighed softly, put away his phone, and fell silent once more.
This... is also a rare time of rest for him.
No more worrying about work, no more overworking your brain.
Simply, quietly, and without any inhibitions, they enjoyed their rare moment of relaxation.
He vaguely heard noises coming from outside the window.
Director Qin subconsciously turned his head to look at the occasional fireworks blooming in the night sky in the distance, and gradually became lost in thought.
Suddenly, his phone rang twice more.
Director Qin snapped back to reality, reached for his phone, and opened it to take a look.
He received New Year's greetings from colleagues and subordinates, as well as New Year's wishes from Zhong Wan and Lin Yan'an, and... his father's lucky red envelope.
[Old man: You brat, it's almost Chinese New Year. Make yourself something good to eat, or go back to the company cafeteria. You won't starve. Get some rest and stop thinking about work.]
Director Qin looked at his message, then at the large red envelope, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
His fingers twitched slightly, and he accepted the red envelope without hesitation, then replied, "Okay, Dad, take care of yourself and have fun."
[Director Qin: Happy New Year.]
This time, the old man didn't reply to his messages again, but Director Qin wasn't disappointed. Instead, he picked up his phone and replied to each message.
Outside the window, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks grew more numerous and louder, eventually merging into a continuous cacophony.
On television, the Spring Festival Gala was in full swing.
But at this time, there was hardly anyone visiting the Zhong family's home.
Several elders were leisurely playing mahjong, while several younger members, led by He Qilan, were making dumplings. The sounds of chatting and the background noise of the television were quite lively.
By the time we finished making dumplings, it was almost ten o'clock.
Everyone had another simple New Year's Eve dinner, and this time the main dish was the dumplings they had just made.
He Qilan was extremely relieved that she had prepared a lot, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to eat that breakfast tomorrow morning.
The room was warm and cozy, filled with the aroma of food mixed with the scents of fruit and floral tea, creating a comforting and unique flavor that belongs to the New Year.
At the very least, for Lin Yan'an, his heart was filled with immense, almost overwhelming, satisfaction at this moment.
He likes this place, he likes this atmosphere, and he likes this real, warm, and human reunion even more.
This is his home, a place filled with worries, laughter, busy little things, and, most importantly, warm companionship that belongs to them.
Before eating dumplings, Lin Yan'an and Zhong Yang set off some small firecrackers together.
After you've eaten and drunk your fill, clear the table.
He Qilan came out excitedly carrying a pile of clothes: "Quick, Yan An, Wanwan, Zhong Yang! Which of you come and get me?"
Upon hearing her voice, the three of them turned around simultaneously.
Everyone was shocked to see the pile of clothes in her arms that was taller than her.
[Meow~ Grandma, Sui Sui is here!]
Before the three of them could react, they saw Zhong Suisui run over quickly.
The tiny kitten, no bigger than a palm, moved nimbly and reached He Qilan's feet in an instant.
It slammed on the brakes and stopped right next to He Qilan, then walked up to her, tilted its little head, and meowed, "Meow! Grandma, Sui Sui will help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint black aura instantly appeared on his small body.
The wisps of black energy slowly rose and steadily enveloped the clothes in He Qilan's arms at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Okay, Grandma can let go now.
Upon hearing this, He Qilan paused, and looking at the dense black aura before her, her heart skipped a beat.
She knew Zhong Suisui wasn't an ordinary cat, but she never expected her to be so powerful.
Looking at the black mist before her, she felt a genuine sense of dread.
But that slight timidity ultimately couldn't overcome her trust in Zhong Suisui.
He Qilan swallowed hard, carefully letting go of the clothes. She looked at the pile of clothes that were steadily being dragged in mid-air by the black mist, then at Zhong Suisui, who had jumped onto the pile of clothes and was sitting there with a smile in her eyes.
He Qilan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and delight, "Wow, our Sui Sui is really amazing!"
"Quick, try on the new clothes Grandma prepared for you."
As she spoke, she reached out and took out Zhong Suisui's clothes, then put them on.
Seeing Zhong Suisui dressed in a festive red outfit, He Qilan reached into her pocket again and took out a gold bracelet, putting it around her neck.
Zhong Suisui obediently tilted her little head up and let her do as she pleased.
Upon seeing this, He Qilan couldn't stop smiling: "Our Sui Sui is so handsome!"
[Meow~ Thank you, Grandma!]
Zhong Suisui looked down at the decorations on her body with a happy smile, and thanked them with her tail wagging.
He Qilan chuckled and scooped it into her arms: "Come on, Sui Sui, let's go with Grandma to get new clothes and red envelopes!"
Okay~
With Zhong Suisui's help, He Qilan's distribution of new clothes became exceptionally smooth.
The black mist steadily supported the new clothes, suspending them in mid-air, and moved around the room following He Qilan's steps.
"Yan An, this is yours."
He Qilan reached out and took out a high-quality dark cashmere sweater, handing it to Lin Yan'an. She looked at him with a smile and urged, "Try it on quickly, see if it fits?"
"Wanwan, this is for you."
Zhong Wan smiled and reached out to take it: "Thank you, Mom!"
"Mother!"
Zhong Yang chuckled and came closer, holding out his hand and asking, "Where's mine?"
