There is a gap between him and Qin Wu. It is easy for him to cross this gap, but Qin Wu cannot easily accept it.
He was now even more unsure of Qin Wu's bottom line in terms of her tolerance for him, and for the first time, he felt fear.
He was afraid that Qin Wu hated him to the core and ignored him again.
Qin Wu could feel the disappointment on Yan Shiyi’s face, but she pretended not to see it.
She smiled and said, "You have a day off today too, go wherever you want to go, here's your red envelope."
"Thank you, sister, happy new year..."
After lunch, Qin Wu gave everyone else a day off except Qiu Shuang, who was going to Yang's house.
After Qin Wu and Yang Zhanying's decoration, the Yang family was also filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Duke Yang and General Yang both love wine, so Qin Wu brought her own fruit wine and daughter's red wine.
"Grandfather, stepfather, stepmother, and stepsister, happy new year." Qin Wu wished them a happy new year.
...
...
Duke Yang and others were very happy to give red envelopes to Qin Wu, and even the little Nuo Nuo in her arms received a big red envelope from everyone.
"Okay, okay, stop talking and come over to eat..."
The round table was filled with dishes, almost all of which were Qin Wu’s favorites.
Yang specially asked someone to teach him how to make braised lion's head.
The roasted chicken was made by Yang Zhanying, who roasted it until his face turned black.
Braised fish, stir-fried pork, etc. were made by General Yang.
That’s right, General Yang’s cooking skills are better than Madam Yang’s. After all, one has to be self-reliant when marching and fighting. General Yang was able to pursue Madam Yang because he impressed her with his cooking skills.
Everyone was talking and laughing as they ate, and each of them was telling each other's embarrassing jokes.
Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
This is the first time that Qin Wu has had such a warm New Year.
The New Years at the Qin family were not so happy before.
After she made the first New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone praised her for the delicious food and she was very happy.
Later, the Qin family took it for granted.
New Year’s Eve dinner and Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner are almost always prepared by her for the whole family.
Even if there was a cook at home, they said the cook was not as good as her, so she was the one who cooked during the holidays.
But even though she had prepared the food, the Qin family did not wait for her to eat. By the time she came back to eat, the food was almost finished. They were all full and went off to play, leaving the leftovers for herself to eat.
It wasn't like this at the beginning. They would wait for her to have dinner together, but later it became a matter of course.
Moreover, there are rules for eating at the Qin family's table. You cannot talk while eating and you must be polite.
The first time she went to the Qin family for the New Year's dinner, she was scolded and cried.
After that, she was very careful when eating and was cautious in what she said and did.
But in the Yang family, there are not so many rules, and people feel relaxed and comfortable. As long as they are well fed and happy, that's enough.
These rules must be followed in front of outsiders, but in your own home, you should be most relaxed.
Yang said, "Home is home. It is a place of tolerance and relaxation, not the outside world where you should abide by yourself to avoid mistakes and trouble. There are rules outside, but there are no rules at home."
Qin Wu had a happy meal at Yang's house.
But the Qin family is having a hard time.
Because in previous years Qin Wu would prepare New Year’s Eve dinner for everyone in the Qin family, and everything was ready.
Today's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by Su Qingqing.
The family couldn't come up with much for expenses, and Su Qingqing didn't want to use her dowry to supplement the family expenses, so the New Year's Eve dinner was extremely simple.
It's just a chicken, a fish, and some stir-fried radish and cabbage.
It was completely different from the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner that Qin Wu prepared for the Qin family in the past.
Today, Qin Sushui just rushed back to the Qin family to celebrate the New Year.
Seeing such a simple New Year's Eve dinner, his face suddenly darkened. Before Prime Minister Qin could speak, Qin Sushui asked in a cold voice, "Is the Qin family out of money? Is this what you want to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner? What is this? There is even stir-fried radish. I rushed back home from the border to celebrate the New Year, and you want me to eat this?"
"How does Qin Wu manage the family? Why does she cook such disgusting food? Does she want me, her third brother, to not even have a good meal?"
"Go to the kitchen and call Qin Wu over first. I want to ask her what this means."
After these words were spoken, the people sitting at the table fell into a strange state of indifference.
Su Qingqing's face looked even uglier.
Qin Sushui had just returned for less than an hour and didn't know that Qin Wu had severed ties with the Qin family.
Qin Sumu and others were also very dissatisfied when looking at the table full of food.
No matter what, the Qin family’s New Year’s Eve dinner wouldn’t be so shabby, right?
In the past, when Qin Wu was around, even a fish would be cooked very delicately and deliciously. Now, it is cooked the same way as the usual fish, just steamed without any special features.
In the past, the fish Qin Wu cooked were all varied, including fried fish balls, squirrel fish, pickled fish, and hundreds of different cooking and flavors for one fish.
But ever since Qin Wu left the Qin family, the only fish they ate was steamed fish.
Moreover, these fish are all cheap silver carp with a lot of bones.
Speaking of which, Qin Sumu, who had been eating at home these days, found the food he ate more and more tasteless. He didn't know what was wrong with his taste buds, or whether the food was badly cooked and tasteless. In fact, the food was getting worse day by day...
The days when Qin Wu was in the Qin family emerged in my mind. They really never worried about the trivial matters at home.
I won’t get upset about what I eat…
He couldn't help but look at Su Qingqing and questioned, "Sister-in-law, you are in charge of the household now. Even if the cook at home is not as good as Qin Wu, she wouldn't make such a dish for the New Year's Eve dinner, right?"
"My eldest daughter-in-law, it's New Year's Day and I asked you to be the head of the household, but you're just doing this. What's your intention? Don't you want us to have a good meal?"
Qin Xiang's slightly heavy tone was so oppressive that Su Qingqing almost couldn't breathe.
Qin Suhuo didn't say anything, just looked at the food coldly.
He had already thought that without Qin Wu at the New Year's Eve dinner, they would have no chance of having any delicious food. In the past, it was Qin Wu who cooked delicious food for them.
He hadn't eaten Qin Wu's cooking for a long time.
No one can be so attentive and put their favorite food at the top of their hearts according to their preferences.
During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, we will prepare food that each of them likes.
This is only the first New Year without Qin Wu. There are still two years, three years, and a lifetime to come.
If they don't ask Qin Wu to come back, they will have no good life.
Su Qingqing had worked hard for two days, but she didn't expect to be comforted. Instead, she was scolded. Her feeling of grievance burst out on the spot.
"Father, second uncle, third uncle, and youngest uncle, if you are not satisfied with me, your sister-in-law, being in charge of the household affairs and arranging for people to prepare today's New Year's Eve dinner, then take back the right to be in charge of the household affairs. I don't want to be in charge either."
"Who asked you to be in charge of the household?" Qin Sushui didn't react for a moment and asked immediately, "Xiao Wu is in charge of the household well. She used to prepare such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. I wonder what's wrong this year? Why is the New Year's Eve dinner so shabby?"
