New Year's Eve.
There is a tradition in Xiaohe Town that on the Lunar New Year, the whole family can visit relatives and give gifts, but they are not allowed to buy things. Everything must be prepared before the New Year.
It is said that if you spend money on New Year's Day, it means you are squandering your wealth, which is unlucky.
Although it is an old custom, it has become a habit for many people.
Buy everything you need before the New Year.
Since we can’t buy anything on New Year’s Day, New Year’s Eve naturally becomes the last day for the whole family to go shopping together.
Shop owners who haven't returned home for the New Year are working hard to make money, and the endless activities are bringing the New Year atmosphere to the extreme.
On weekdays, Qingting doesn't like to stay in crowded places, but today is an exception.
It has been a long time since I was able to go shopping with my family, especially today when two families are together.
"Mom, can you let me walk alone with him for a while?"
They had already arrived at the square of the shopping mall. Qingting grabbed An Baoer's hand, hoping to get a chance to have a private date with Wei Lai.
"Ask your dad." An Baoer said to Qingqi.
[That kid said he had a surprise for you today, but if you go there, the surprise will be gone.]
"No, we are just a family traveling together today, and we just happened to meet them." Qing Qishu refused decisively.
"I want to see what this kid can do. Don't go over and play along with him, you hear me?"
Dad didn't intend to help Wei Lai, but he didn't intend to help himself either, so he indirectly helped him.
Qingting suddenly wondered why she wasn't smarter when she was a child.
If I hadn't told my parents about my abilities, maybe they wouldn't be restricting my freedom of movement today.
There was no other way, so she had to contact Wei Lai using her cell phone.
[Qingting]: My parents don’t let me go over to talk to you, so come here.
[Wei Lai]: I can’t leave here either.
[Qingting]: You are hiding something from me!
[Wei Lai]: Even if you say so, I won’t go.
Wei Lai put down his phone, turned his head to look at Qingting, and was met with her fierce expression.
Then he heard the click of a camera.
"Xiaoting is so cute. Honey, I want to have a daughter again."
"You'd better forgive me. What should I do if you're pregnant?"
Xu Xiang had just put down the phone he was using to take secret photos when Wei Zikang patted him on the shoulder after he finished speaking.
"Son, Daddy's happiness depends on you. Bring Xiaoting home as soon as possible, and don't let your mother always worry about giving you another sister."
"Got it, don't forget what you promised me."
Wei Lai didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have two such unreliable parents.
Before she became his girlfriend, the two of them went over to him.
If he didn't need them to cover him tonight, he wouldn't want to walk with the two of them. He always felt a little embarrassed.
"By the way, I told Qi Shu and Bao'er that you wanted to give Xiao Ting a surprise, but they also had to keep it a secret."
"Xiaoting shouldn't know. Why doesn't she come to see you? Have you done anything to offend her?"
Ms. Xu Xiang's face was getting closer and closer to Wei Lai, and her face was full of kindness.
"No, at most I've been preparing for the past two days and didn't go out to play with Xiaoting." Wei Lai pushed his mother's face away. He felt more and more that now that she had a future daughter-in-law, she had completely treated him, her son, as an outsider.
"Okay, maybe they haven't gone out shopping with Xiaoting for a long time, and they want to enjoy the last time shopping with their daughter." Wei Zikang came out to smooth things over and took Xu Xiang into his arms.
Well, the family of three over there is having a great time, but his parents here have begun to ignore him as their son.
In the end, he became a lonely man.
Fortunately, he found some helpers today and didn't have to rely on just them.
After walking around the square for a while, a loud voice came from outside the square. The one-hour countdown to the New Year began and the fireworks had already been launched into the sky.
As we watched the gorgeous fireworks falling in the night sky, the lights on the stage at the edge of the square also lit up.
Wei Lai hurriedly tried to deal with the two people who were being affectionate with each other in front of him.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to get ready. Remember to do as I say!"
"I understand. Go ahead."
After watching Wei Lai leave, Wei Zikang and Xu Xiang also searched for Qingting's family in the crowd.
Soon they found their target and rushed over.
"Wife, what's this surprise our son is talking about? Hasn't he been locking himself in his room these past two days?"
"You men are so careless. Have you forgotten that our son hasn't confessed his feelings to her yet? This surprise is definitely his confession."
"It's not nice to talk about this kind of thing out loud. Just prepare a love letter and if she likes you, she'll naturally agree. Why go through all that trouble?"
"I told you that you haven't kept up with the times, but you still don't believe me. You really think it's our time."
Xu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wei Zikang, and at the same time, the two of them came to Qing Qishu and the others.
"Qi Shu, you and Bao Er, come with us to the stage over there."
"So we're on the stage?" Qing Qishu looked thoughtfully at the stage where the lights had just been turned on.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go." An Baoer couldn't wait any longer and pulled Qingting to walk over there.
On the brightly lit stage, several people were already ready on the stage. The prelude of the music had already sounded, accompanied by the instruments in their hands, attracting some passers-by.
Only the lead singer position in the center of the stage remained empty.
As the prelude ended, a figure walked out from behind the stage.
