Only Wei Ling and his wife saw Du Hongyi and the other two off. Huang Wanqing was cleaning up the dishes at home. After eating the reunion dumplings, the pot and dishes used to cook the dumplings had to be washed, so Huang Wanqing stayed behind to clean up.
After cleaning up, she quickly washed up and went to bed.
It was already past one in the morning, which was very late. She felt a little sleepy as she hadn't stayed up late for a long time.
"Daughter-in-law."
When Wei Ling saw Du Hongyi and his companions walking away, he closed the gate and took Qin Qingman's hand.
If we were to ask who has the hardest time on New Year's Eve, it would certainly be Qin Qingman, the hostess of the household. Even though she has so many people to help, Qin Qingman makes the decisions on many things and is the one who is involved.
"A Ling, go back, it's getting late."
Qin Qingman rarely stayed up late since she entered this era. Feeling the strong New Year's festive atmosphere in the village, she couldn't help but yawn.
She was really sleepy.
Wei Ling originally wanted Qin Qingman to work less hard, but when he saw that Qin Qingman was really tired, he quickly led her to the hall.
The couple returned to the living room. Huang Wanqing not only cleaned up the dishes, but also cleaned herself up. "Brother Wei, Sister Qingman, I have already turned off the fire. Please check to see if there is anything that is not cleaned properly."
"Wanqing, it's getting late. Go and have some rest. I'll take care of the rest."
Huang Wanqing has been busy with Qin Qingman since this morning. Although she is not the main person in the kitchen, there are still many small chores to do. She has to help with lighting the fire, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and washing dishes. It is hard work.
"Well, I'm going to take a rest then."
Huang Wanqing touched her freshly washed face, said good night to Wei Ling and Qin Qingman, and returned to the east room.
In freezing cold places, even if the temperature inside the house is high, you must apply balm on your face.
As soon as Huang Wanqing returned to the east room, she saw Chuchu sleeping with the wolf cub in her arms.
In the past, the wolf cub didn't want Chuchu to hold him when he slept. The two little ones would each occupy the head and the end of the kang. Ever since Huang Wanqing appeared on the kang, the relationship between the two little ones has become even better.
We can even cuddle together when sleeping.
Huang Wanqing covered Chuchu and the others with a quilt with a smile, then took out the balm. The balm with a strong fragrance melted in her palms, and then she applied it evenly on their faces.
The balms of this era were not like the facial products of later generations, which had different and subtle scents.
The balsam at this time is rich, like the fragrance of a flower in bloom.
"Haqiu——" A small sneeze sounded in the room. It was Huang Wanqing who was applying perfume and it affected the wolf cub.
A wolf cub's nose is more sensitive than a dog's, and he reacts most strongly to strong scents.
"I'm sorry, Dudu." Huang Wanqing looked over in the direction of the wolf cub's sneeze. Facing the wolf cub's clear and disgusted eyes, she could only apologize helplessly and reached out to rub the wolf cub.
One day at the Qin family, Huang Wanqing liked the wolf cub very much.
The main thing is that the wolf cubs are chubby and very cute, and very smart. Most of the time, their eyes are as clever as those of humans.
The wolf cub originally disliked the scent of Huang Wanqing's perfume, and when he saw Huang Wanqing's hand reaching out to him, he abandoned Chuchu in disgust and crawled into his own wolf den at the end of the kang, not wanting to pay any attention to Huang Wanqing at all.
Although small, small things have their own personality.
He did not look at Huang Wanqing differently just because he slept on the same kang with her.
Huang Wanqing had guessed this result long ago. She sighed helplessly, then tidied herself up briefly, blew out the light, and crawled into the quilt.
She had been busy with Qin Qingman all day and was extremely tired. She fell into a deep sleep just after lying on the kang for a while.
As for the matter of the gold bracelet, since Qin Qingman said she wanted to forget it, she should forget it completely.
The east room became quiet because Huang Wanqing fell asleep.
In the west room, Qin Qingman and her husband had finished tidying up and got on the kang. Wei Ling did not lie down, but instead rummaged through his pockets.
Qin Qingman froze in the middle of yawning.
"Wife, take a look. Do you like it?" Wei Ling handed a velvet box to Qin Qingman.
Qin Qingman, who had just received a hand-ironed velvet box: …
"Wife, I asked someone to buy this watch in the provincial capital a long time ago, but it never arrived. It was just delivered today." Wei Ling knew what Qin Qingman meant when he saw that Qin Qingman did not take the box in his hand.
He is not a fool like Huang Wanqing, so how could he give away something that he shouldn't give away?
"Oh, watch, it's so beautiful."
Qin Qingman came back to her senses during Wei Ling's explanation, and also saw the velvet box that Wei Ling opened.
This is a Shanghai brand watch that was popular in that era and was also a must-have item for many families when they got married. It was more advanced than the watch they saw last time in the county supply and marketing cooperative and it was also hard to buy.
Qin Qingman recalled all the belongings of Wei Ling that were in her hands, and looked at Wei Ling with her watch in hand.
Some words don't need to be said, but you can tell what they mean by looking at their eyes.
Wei Ling immediately took the initiative to explain: "Wife, I gave the money and tickets for the watch to each other a long time ago, and you hadn't agreed to marry me at that time." It can be said that he had already planned ahead and had already decided to spend his life with Qin Qingman.
Qin Qingman was instantly moved by Wei Ling's sweet words, and she took the initiative to throw herself into Wei Ling's arms and kissed him on the lips.
Men's lips are very beautiful and very suitable for intercourse.
Wei Ling naturally accepted the offer that was delivered to his door, and even took the initiative to deepen the offer.
You know, this is the first conversation between the couple in the new year.
Several minutes had passed since the warm and happy bite. They were all young men and women, and even if they did not deliberately pursue sensual stimulation, their bodies had their own instincts.
"Wife, let me put the watch on for you to see."
Wei Ling actively and enthusiastically tried the watch on Qin Qingman.
Watches are still a luxury item in this era and not everyone can afford them.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Qin Qingman obediently stretched out her white wrist.
Her hands were beautifully shaped and her arms were beautifully proportioned. When she stretched them in front of Wei Ling, she quickly attracted all of his attention.
White and delicate, it attracted him under the light.
Qin Qingman could feel how intensely Wei Ling's gaze was focused on her wrist. Her fair face immediately flushed. She shook her wrist and whispered, "Didn't you say you wanted to try on a watch?"
"Oh, right away."
Wei Ling quickly and carefully put the watch on Qin Qingman's wrist.
When his fingers touched his daughter-in-law's wrist, the delicate touch made him a little distracted.
"It looks good." It was the first time that Qin Qingman wore a watch in her life, and the feeling of putting on the watch was just as she had imagined.
The watch that Wei Ling asked someone to wear was a ladies' watch. Both the dial and the strap were delicate and small. When she wore it, it not only did not suppress the beauty of her wrist, but instead added to her elegance like a piece of jewelry.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Wei Ling also gave a sincere compliment.
Of course, there was some element of complimenting the watch in his words, but more importantly, he was talking about Qin Qingman's beautiful wrist.
"It's late today, I need to rest."
Qin Qingman admired the watch on her wrist for a while, then took it off and put it together with the watch that Wei Ling had just taken off.
Only when she put the two watches together did she notice that they were of the same brand.
At first glance, it seems surprisingly harmonious.
Wei Ling saw that Qin Qingman had already lain down in the quilt, so he quickly turned off the light and lay down in the quilt as well. As soon as he got into the quilt, he immediately stretched out his long arms and hugged his wife tightly in his arms. On the first day of the new year, he was happy and excited.
Qin Qingman could feel Wei Ling's happiness, but she had something to say.
While the two of them hadn't done anything yet, she took the initiative to tell Huang Wanqing that she had gold jewelry in her hand. Wei Ling knew the seriousness of the matter without her having to remind her specifically.
Wei Ling had heard it vaguely before, and when he heard Qin Qingman say it again, he immediately said, "I'll go up the mountain in a few days and take care of the things." He has been stationed here for more than a year and has been to many places on the mountain.
Know where are the best and safest places to hide things.
Qin Qingman told Wei Ling about the gold jewelry because she originally wanted Wei Ling to hide it. When she saw Wei Ling agreed immediately, she immediately stopped worrying about it.
However, in order to reward Wei Ling for his good behavior, she still tilted her head back and kissed Wei Ling on his lips.
It is impossible to end it so easily after starting it. Wei Ling had already drunk a little bit of wine. Although he was not drunk too much, the alcohol still stimulated his nerves. He really wanted to do something with the help of the alcohol.
The couple made a noise for half an hour before they finished.
The physical and mental happiness made both of them feel relaxed and happy. Both Wei Ling and Qin Qingman were eager to have their own home as soon as possible.
If they don't have their own home, they are really worried that they may not be able to control that day.
"Wife, I will ask the division headquarters someday where the family area is built and when it will be built. Let's go and mark out our home first." When Wei Ling said this, he had already made up his mind to urge the division headquarters to plan and build the family area.
Qin Qingman's breathing gradually became steady, only her body was still trembling slightly.
As a result, when I heard Wei Ling's words, I knew how inconsistent Wei Ling was at this moment. What he said and what he thought in his mind were absolutely two different things.
Her cheeks became even hotter and her body felt numb.
In fact, sometimes you don’t even have to try it yourself; just hearing the words can create a storm in your mind.
And Wei Ling had just given her a storm of verbal hints.
Qin Qingman's body, which had not been so tense just now, quickly tensed up again, and a feeling of powerlessness and numbness swept through her whole body.
"Wife." Wei Ling kissed Qin Qingman again.
Qin Qingman had to hold on to the bed sheet tightly because she was nervous.
After the latest commotion, nearly half an hour had passed. It seemed that there was not much time left before the roosters crowed, and the night of New Year's Eve was still too short.
After everything was over, Wei Ling climbed up from the kang to get some warm water to wipe the sweat off both sides.
"A Ling."
Qin Qingman lay on the kang and called Wei Ling softly.
"Wife, what's wrong?" The busy Wei Ling quickly turned around and kissed Qin Qingman on the cheek.
"A Ling, if the division headquarters builds a family area, the houses may not be the same as we planned before." Qin Qingman recalled the longing for home she and Wei Ling had shared before, and said something worried.
In fact, she didn't want to live in the family area, but she was worried that the construction of the family area would not be as convenient as she imagined. After all, she had seen more convenient buildings in later generations.
"It's okay. I'll give some advice to the logistics department."
Wei Ling was confident about this. Although he could not build his house exactly as he and Qin Qingman had imagined, he could definitely retain six or seven floors.
"Um."
Seeing that Wei Ling was so confident, Qin Qingman stopped worrying and fell asleep peacefully.
After spending quite a while with Wei Ling today, all her energy has been used up.
Seeing that Qin Qingman was so tired that she fell asleep, Wei Ling stopped making noises and quickly wiped the sweat off her body before lying down in the quilt.
Qin Qingman and Wei Ling had been sleeping together for a long time. Sensing the heat, she automatically rolled into Wei Ling's arms.
Wei Ling hugged Qin Qingman tightly with satisfaction. He lifted up his wife's fingers and kissed each of them with compassion before letting them go.
He especially liked his daughter-in-law's hands. These soft and beautiful hands gave him infinite feelings.
Feeling satisfied, Wei Ling fell asleep.
The sun rose on time. Because this was still a special period, no one got up early in the morning to prepare things for the sacrificial offerings. Every household slept until they woke up naturally.
Qin Qingman also took a rare nap before getting up.
When she got up, Wei Ling was no longer in bed, but was exercising in the yard with Chu Chu.
The routine that has been ingrained in his bones will not stop exercising just because today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Wei Ling feels that if he wakes up in the morning and does not get up on time one day, it may be because of special reasons.
For example, after they have their own home.
While Wei Ling was taking Chu Chu and Wolf Cub to exercise in the yard, Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing also got up one after another.
Both of them put on new clothes.
They are all red, but not bright red, but red of varying shades.
Wearing red during Chinese New Year is festive and it is also the most passionate color.
"Good morning, sister-in-law." Huang Wanqing had just walked out of the east room when she saw Qin Qingman coming out of the west room. She immediately greeted her with bright eyes.
She wore the new clothes Qin Qingman made for her today, and Qin Qingman also wore new clothes. Both of them looked in very good spirits and looked very eye-catching.
The main thing is that both of them are good-looking.
"Wanqing, good morning." Qin Qingman also saw Huang Wanqing, greeted her and started to wash up.
After washing up, the two chatted and laughed while preparing breakfast.
Dumplings are eaten on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Qin family made a lot of dumplings last night and froze them in the freezer. It is very simple to eat them. Just bring the dumplings into the house and boil the water before cooking.
Although this batch of dumplings was made by many people, their skills are all good. The dumplings are as full and cute as gold ingots.
When cooked, each one is more plump than the other.
"A Ling, Chu Chu, it's time for breakfast."
The dumplings were not yet cooked, but Qin Qingman lifted the curtain of the hall and called out to the yard. It was a good time to call now, so that Wei Ling and Chu Chu could wipe the sweat off their bodies and simply clean up the dumplings until they were cooked and ready to be taken out of the pot.
"Coming." When Wei Ling and Chu Chu heard Qin Qingman's voice, they not only shifted their gazes over, but also responded actively.
“Awoooooo——”
The wolf cub was very excited when he heard Qin Qingman's voice. He immediately left Wei Ling and Chu Chu and ran towards Qin Qingman.
Today, Wei Ling took it out for exercise before it had even had any milk. It was so early in the morning and its feet were very cold!
The wolf cub ran very fast. In the blink of an eye, he ran to Qin Qingman and pulled her pants.
Qin Qingman was worried that the wolf cub would snag her new cotton-padded jacket, so she quickly bent over and picked up the little guy. Only after she held him in her arms did she realize that the wolf cub had become heavier.
Being heavier means you've grown a little bit.
After rubbing the wolf cub's head, Qin Qingman lowered the curtain and returned to the hall.
She had already chopped the meat for the wolf cub, enough for the little guy to enjoy a good feast on the first day of the new year.
“Ah, wow—”
The wolf cub was very satisfied with his breakfast. He squatted in front of his bowl and started eating.
Qin Qingman did not squeeze goat milk today, so she did not plan to give milk to the wolf cub at breakfast. Instead, she put some clean water aside.
The water was well water that had been replaced with hot water, so it could be considered raw water, just right for the wolf cub to drink.
"Sister-in-law, if I didn't know that Dudu was a dog, just by listening to its barking, I would have thought it was a wolf cub." Huang Wanqing couldn't help but say something when she saw the wolf cub happily doing his job.
This made Wei Ling and Chu Chu, who had just entered the room, at a loss as to how to respond.
Qin Qingman didn't know how to explain the wolf cub's true identity to Huang Wanqing.
If I say that the wolf cub is a wolf, I'm worried that Huang Wanqing won't dare to sleep on the same bed with him at night. If I don't say it, I feel like I'm deceiving each other's feelings.
Just as Qin Qingman was hesitating about how to start talking, Wei Ling's voice came over lightly, "Wanqing, go to the kitchen to get some vinegar and hot sauce, we'll have breakfast soon." Vinegar is definitely something you need when eating dumplings.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Huang Wanqing was directed by Wei Ling and instantly forgot what she had just asked Qin Qingman and went to the kitchen immediately.
Qin Qingman also went to help.
The dumplings are cooked and can be served for breakfast.
After breakfast, Wei Ling and Chu Chu also changed into new clothes. They didn't wear new clothes when they were exercising just now, so now they were all dressed up. The whole family changed into new clothes from head to toe, inside and out.
The temperature in the room was high, so everyone didn't wear thick cotton coats, but sweaters.
Qin Qingman had limited energy and did not knit the sweater for Huang Wanqing, but Huang Wanqing did not feel wronged at all. Instead, she was extremely grateful to Qin Qingman. She lived no worse in the Qin family than in the Huang family.
"Sister, I'm going to play with Miki and the others."
Chu Chu, wearing a new outfit, looked up at Qin Qingman for instructions.
After his family finished breakfast, the village was already bustling. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and all the children ran out of the house to play.
Every family set off firecrackers in the early morning yesterday. Today, the children were picking up firecrackers that had not exploded in the snow. If the fuse was not broken and the firecrackers had not been soaked by water, they could be ignited a second time.
"etc."
Qin Qingman glanced at Chuchu, took out a red envelope from her arms and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Chu Chu had never received any New Year's money before, and had no idea that what Qin Qingman was handing him was the thing that countless children in future generations would look forward to the most during the New Year.
Qin Qingman did not take the initiative to explain, but smiled and encouraged Chuchu to open the tightly folded red envelope, "Come and see what it is."
"good."
Chuchu obediently opened the red envelope, and then her face turned red with excitement when she saw the new dime, "Money...money!"
"This is New Year's money. Once it's given to you, it belongs to you. You can save it or spend it as you like, but you can't spend it recklessly." Qin Qingman reminded Chuchu.
Even though it was only a dime given away, in this era a dime can buy a lot of things.
Even those who are well-off can only afford to give their children a little money during the Chinese New Year as a token of appreciation.
Qin Qingman made up for Chuchu's five years of regret at once.
The new year has passed and Chuchu is already six years old.
"Thank you, sister." Chu Chu thanked Qin Qingman very loudly.
Qin Qingman smiled and touched Chuchu's head before turning her gaze to Huang Wanqing. She then took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to her.
Huang Wanqing is not married yet. Although she is older than her, as her sister-in-law, she still has to give red envelopes during the New Year.
"I...I have it too." Huang Wanqing was shocked and excited.
She was just regretting that she had not prepared a red envelope for Chuchu earlier, but ended up receiving a red envelope that belonged to her.
"Not much, just to celebrate the new year. I hope everything goes well for you this year, and that you are healthy and have a smooth career." Qin Qingman expressed New Year's greetings to Huang Wanqing.
Huang Wanqing looked at Wei Ling who was standing aside.
She was embarrassed to accept Qin Qingman's red envelope.
"Qingman is my sister-in-law. If it's given to you, just take it." Wei Ling was a duke and a prince in his previous life. There were more rules for celebrating the New Year in their era. It was completely normal for the eldest sister-in-law to give red envelopes to her younger brothers and sisters.
After saying this, he took out two red envelopes from his pocket and gave them to Huang Wanqing and Chuchu respectively.
The dazed Huang Wanqing and the excited Chuchu accepted the red envelopes.
While the Qin family was in harmony, Qin Caiyun from next door also went out. She had been thinking about it all night yesterday and finally figured out how to plot against Du Hongyi. So today, she couldn't wait to put it into practice.
She must get married as soon as possible and marry as well as Qin Qingman.
Because of the scalp injury, Qin Caiyun hated Qin Qingman very much. Not only did she hate Qin Qingman, she also hated Chuchu, the instigator.
She will definitely take revenge if she gets the chance.
