Chapter 264 Holding Your Breath
264 Holding Your Breath
Every Chinese New Year, when relatives and friends come, they tend to be closer to Shen Yiyi and Qin Lie.
Also familiar with Qin Feng.
He was only polite to Jiang Xiangyi. Of course, he didn't say much. He just exchanged New Year greetings and that was all.
Although Jiang Xiangyi didn't care to be close to these relatives and friends, she inevitably felt a huge gap in her heart.
Seeing Chongxi's sister-in-law chatting and laughing with everyone, while she could only smile on the side and couldn't go back to the room, she felt really bad.
But at the same time, she became more determined in her heart.
When she returns to the South, she will definitely open her own shop and make a name for herself.
Why was I outshined by this sister-in-law who was sold to the Qin family for three thousand yuan? I was even beaten into dust by her. This was unimaginable!
After all, she still lacks in contributing to her family.
In the past few years, she has put all her attention on her family, which is why she has fallen behind so much. On the contrary, this sister-in-law who was born in Chongxi has attracted people's attention after not seeing her for three years because she didn't have any children in those years.
But if she can, I can do it too.
She has the confidence!
Qin Feng had no idea what she was thinking, so he took his daughter to paint in his free time.
Qin Ningning is also very happy.
To show off in front of his father, he drew a cozy cottage in the snow.
The artistic conception is particularly good.
Qin Feng couldn't help but say, "You have made great progress."
Qin Ningning said happily: "It was all taught by Teacher Mei. She is a very good art student and has won an art award."
This Teacher Mei is the art teacher who teaches art classes in the city.
The art teacher her aunt found for her has really great and superb painting skills.
Now she is Qin Ningning's target.
Of course, the same goes for other kids studying art. There are more than a dozen students in the class who are all very good at drawing, but they all respect Teacher Mei very much.
After studying under Teacher Mei, we have made great progress.
Qin Feng also asked Shen Yiyi how much the tuition was for the art class.
"Brother, please give me back the money I gave Ningning to buy clothes. You won't also want to pay me back the money for the art class, right?" Shen Yiyi said with a smile.
"Ningning is already causing trouble for you, how can you still spend money on her? I have to give you the money."
"There are only a few classes a month, which doesn't cost much. Just think of it as a gift from me, your aunt, to Ningning. Don't count it out, brother." Shen Yiyi shook her head.
Qin Feng didn't say anything more.
But I keep them in my heart.
As for Jiang Xiangyi, she curled her lips. What she was thinking was, there is no need to learn these things at all. Studying hard is the serious thing, okay?
But since she had been criticized by Qin Feng before, she didn't dare to say anything.
Thinking about it this way, I felt wronged again.
The daughter is hers too, but now she can't even say anything about her daughter's education.
This is what happens when you ask a man for money!
It turned out to be a big mistake to give up my teaching job and become a housewife.
If I had some income, I wouldn't have fallen to this point.
The more I think about it, the less worth it it seems.
I have devoted so much to my family for so many years, but what did I get in the end? Nothing!
Qin Ningning knew that her mother didn't want her to be affected by these things in her studies, so she brought the textbook over and asked her mother to test her.
Jiang Xiangyi didn't want to take the exam. Her words didn't carry any weight now, so what was the point of taking the exam?
This made Qin Ningning feel very uncomfortable, so after thinking about it, she asked her mother and father to go out to see a movie together.
"We haven't been to the movies this year. Mom and Dad, can you go with me?"
Qin Feng and Jiang Xiangyi agreed, but they still didn't talk to each other. Even with their daughter trying to mediate, they still looked cold to each other.
Qin Ningning whispered this to her aunt before she went to sleep at night.
She felt that her parents' relationship had become less intense. It was not like this before. They would make up quickly after a quarrel.
Qin Hong didn't know how to comfort her niece.
Of course, she was aware of the current situation of her elder brother and sister-in-law, but in Qin Hong's view, the situation of the couple was not just the sister-in-law's problem.
There is also the problem of the eldest brother here.
My eldest brother was too used to my eldest sister-in-law, so she developed this kind of self-righteous character.
But now, the eldest brother is no longer used to her, but the eldest sister-in-law has not yet recovered from the gap.
In other words, the couple never sat down and had a serious talk.
Conflicts are natural.
But outsiders cannot tell this kind of thing, because the current situation is that her eldest brother is holding his breath, and her eldest sister-in-law is also holding her breath.
Only when they want to reconcile and are calm, can they sit down and talk.
Otherwise it will only backfire.
"Your father is very busy now, and your mother has to take care of your grandma and the others. They have a lot to do. Give them some time to get used to each other." Qin Hong could only comfort her niece in this way.
"Aunt, will my parents get divorced?" Qin Ningning asked worriedly.
Qin Hong: "My aunt doesn't know either."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't know whether her elder brother and sister-in-law would get divorced, but the disharmony between the couple would cause huge harm to the children.
My niece is only this old. She should be growing up happily and without worries, but now she has to worry about these things.
"But don't worry too much. You just need to take care of yourself at this stage so that they won't have to worry about you in the future."
Qin Ningning sighed.
Qin Hong smiled and said, "We should think positively about everything. We can't be so pessimistic during the New Year. What did you eat at your aunt's place? I see you have gained a lot of weight this year."
Qin Ningning smiled and said, "I eat everything. The ribs and meat stewed by Xiaoyan that my aunt taught me are especially delicious."
"You can't just eat meat, you have to eat fruits and vegetables together to be healthy."
"Yes, I eat vegetables and fruits. My aunt also said that if I eat an apple every day, the doctor will stay away from me. So I bring one to school every morning as a snack."
"That's great. Did you make any friends there?"
"Yes, she lives on the floor above us. Her name is Gu Xiaoxi. She is very pretty. Her mother is also very pretty. She is a senior translator. She speaks English very well and can play the pipa. Xiaoxi can play it too. She taught me how to play the pipa and English. I also taught her how to paint..."
Talking about these things, the little girl's attention was diverted.
I can tell they're having a great time there.
It was not until they fell asleep that Qin Hong covered her niece with the quilt.
She must choose a good father for her future child and absolutely cannot let her child worry about these things at an age when he should be growing and thriving.
This is a dereliction of duty on the part of adults.
