Chapter 183 No one is perfect!
183 No one is perfect!
Shen Yiyi wrapped the red envelopes and took Qin Lie out.
Last year, Qin's father and mother were given red envelopes of 200 yuan each, and this year they were given 300 yuan.
The one given to my sister-in-law Qin Hong is also this big.
The red envelope for my niece Ningning is twenty yuan.
She gave ten yuan, and Jiang Xiangyi gave ten yuan each to Hengheng and Fantuan, which was just right.
Qin's father and mother also gave red envelopes to their grandchildren.
"Thank you, grandpa and grandma. I wish you good fortune and a long life!" Qin Ningning took the red envelope and congratulated happily.
"Okay." Qin's father and mother agreed with a smile.
Hengheng and Fantuan didn't know how to say it yet, but when they saw the bright red color, they realized it was the same color as their clothes. It's really pretty, we like it!
So they would stretch out their chubby little hands to receive the red envelopes given by grandpa, grandmother and aunt.
Qin's father and mother gave the red envelope willingly and looked very happy.
The next step is New Year’s Eve when families visit each other.
This year, Qin's father and mother stayed at home, so Qin Lie and Shen Yiyi, Qin Feng and Jiang Xiangyi, and Qin Hong all took their children out.
It means going around the homes of your neighbors.
"Look at these two brothers, they are so cute. You can tell at a glance that they take after their father. When they grow up, they will definitely become pillars of the country."
"Ningning, too. You can tell at a glance that she looks like your mother. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up!"
Seeing them coming to their house to wish a happy new year, the elders happily spoke praises to both families.
The young people on the other side will also visit their elders’ homes to wish them a happy new year.
At this time of year in previous years, Qin's father and mother would always feel a little worried.
Because looking at other people's grandchildren, the Qin family's house is a bit deserted. The eldest son doesn't come back during the New Year, and the second son doesn't have time to come back either.
It was okay last year, everyone came back.
But last year was not as good as this year. This year, the old couple had a pair of twin grandchildren. This is their confidence!
So, when you see Du Jiang and his family bringing their children to visit us for the New Year, they are all smiling and very happy.
He was also very generous in sharing candies and peanut candies among the children, allowing the children to feel the joy of the New Year.
Red envelopes are distributed after the New Year’s greetings are over. Some of the red envelopes will be taken back by the parents, and these people will be jealous of those whose parents did not take the red envelopes.
The children who had money would buy firecrackers to play with.
Qin Ningning did go out last year, but this year she was injured, so she just stayed at home playing with her younger brothers and didn’t go out.
However, if we were to say which house is the most lively among the neighbors, it would have to be the Du family.
Because of the TV that Du Jiang bought, on this Chinese New Year, there were people waiting inside and outside the TV.
After the children came back, Qin's father and mother also went out for a walk. Qin's father came back relatively early, but Qin's mother came back later.
The old sisters who live next door to them have so much to talk about, and they always have endless topics to talk about.
When the time was almost up, we returned home and the whole family began to prepare for the night vigil.
But Hengheng and Fantuan couldn't bear it.
At around ten o'clock, the two brothers felt sleepy, so Qin Lie and Shen Yiyi hugged each other and went back to the house to sleep.
The whole family gathered together and chatted.
Qin Feng talked about the chaos on the train. "I think they are actually a gang of thieves. They have a clear division of labor and each has his own tasks."
Shen Yiyi agreed. The trains were indeed very chaotic at this time, with too many pickpockets.
She said, "But it's not just the train station, there are also a lot of petty thieves outside. Last time when Bingbing and I moved to the city, we heard that someone broke into the house next door to us while no one was at home and stole things. I heard that a lot of money was stolen."
Qin Lie couldn't help but ask: "Then how dare you stay here?"
Shen Yiyi: "Of course I dare not. We can't just throw away our food because of choking. And who would dare to take advantage of us? Zhou Bing helped us move, and he used your car. The neighbors were all watching. Wu Yu also drove to our place and took a ride. Nowadays, only the rich or the noble can afford a small car. How dare someone take advantage of us?"
If she didn't have the confidence, would she dare to take Chu Bing, Qin Sangu and the others and move to the city with their children?
Qin Lie said nothing, but just glanced at his wife.
Mother Qin was completely confused. "What do you mean by moving to the city? Yiyi, when did you move to the city?"
Shen Yiyi: "This year, Bingbing and I opened a clothing store in the city. Qin Lie was away on a mission at the time, and I was too busy to feed Hengheng and the others, so we just moved there. But we didn't stay long. After the store was opened, we moved back."
Jiang Xiangyi finally came to his senses after listening for a long time. He looked at Shen Yiyi and said, "You mean, in addition to opening a clothing store in our provincial capital, you also opened one in the urban area where the troops are located?"
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sister-in-law." Shen Yiyi smiled.
Jiang Xiangyi: "..."
"You must be so busy opening so many stores. I was wondering why you have lost so much weight since you came back this year." Qin's mother said.
Shen Yiyi smiled and said, "It's not bad. I have Bingbing to share the work with me, and I've also been promoted from below. It's all good, not too tiring. But the security outside is really not good now. If Dad lives alone, we really need to keep a dog at home so that we can feel more at ease."
Father Qin: "In this area, I think we are the only poor family. They would not come to steal from us."
However, Qin's father did not object to raising a dog.
Seeing that he had almost finished talking, Qin Lie winked at his wife and asked her to go back to her room.
Once he got back to the house, Qin Lie couldn't help himself.
"You are not allowed to hide such important things from me in the future."
Shen Yiyi saw that he looked very serious. It was the first time she saw him with that expression after being together for so long.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just thought it was nothing, so I didn't tell you specifically. I just mentioned it tonight."
Qin Lie's expression did not soften, "Wife, you don't realize the seriousness of the problem yet."
Shen Yiyi was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
"Wife, have you ever thought about what might happen?" Qin Lie looked at her. "What if you have someone to rely on? If something really happens, Wu Yu is useful, but he can't help you. Wife, can you afford the risk?"
These words rang in Shen Yiyi's mind like thunder!
It made her feel instantly terrified!
She shook Qin Lie's hand and said softly, "Thank you."
Thank you for making her wake up and react!
My life has been so smooth that some things just come naturally.
Although she did not slack off when she moved to the city, she was unfamiliar with the place and her children were still young. How could she slack off?
But looking back now, the decision was indeed a rash one.
Just as Qin Lie said, her confidence comes from external forces, not herself. If something really happens, she can't afford to take the risk!
But the journey was so smooth that she lost some of her awe and vigilance!
But after tonight, she won't!
Fortunately, there is Qin Lie!
Qin Lie didn't mean to scare his wife, he was just afraid that she would walk too fast and fall and get hurt.
But seeing that she had reacted, he relaxed his expression and said gently, "When we get back, I'll teach you some self-defense techniques."
"Okay!" Shen Yiyi smiled.
No one is perfect. It is impossible for a person to be good at everything.
It is a blessing to have someone around you who can remind you and prevent you from taking the wrong path and making big mistakes!
I am grateful to have him by my side!
