"Zijin, come in and help me."
"I'm coming." Qiao Zijin took a deep breath. She had been talking to Qiao Nan for a long time and was annoyed by Qiao Nan. However, she couldn't ask a single serious question.
Suddenly, Qiao Zijin had a premonition that she would have a very unhappy year and would have many troubles.
"You advised me very well a few days ago, but why are you so stupid today and quarreled with that little girl? You know that the little girl is taking advantage of the fact that Old Qiao treats her well and has a bad temper. Today is New Year's Eve, don't make your dad unhappy and make this meal unavailable." As soon as she entered the house, Ding Jiayi started to scold Qiao Zijin.
Thinking about how all the housework was done by Qiao Nan in the past, and she was the one sitting with her legs crossed waiting for dinner, and now the situation is reversed, she has to be scolded by her mother after doing the work, Qiao Zijin's mood became even worse: "Mom, are you ashamed to say that? Can you do wrong what I taught you? It was Qiao Nan who deliberately made things difficult for me, saying that she had to go against you and me, and that she regarded you and me as enemies, and that we could never get along well in this life. I was just mad at her. I quarreled with her? If she doesn't quarrel with me, I'll be thankful!"
"Did she really say that?" Ding Jiayi's voice was sharp. This dead girl really thought she could turn the world upside down!
"Why would I lie to you? Can't you see how mad Qiao Nan is to me?" Holding the melon seeds, Qiao Zijin really didn't want to give the melon seeds she had taken out to Qiao Nan to eat: "Mom, I won't care about your relationship with Qiao Nan in the future, and I can't care, lest I get mad to death. Qiao Nan has been away from home for half a year, and she has become arrogant and doesn't take you and me seriously at all."
Qiao Nan is really different from before. Not only has her wings become stronger, but after flying out of this home, she can't catch Qiao Nan at all.
Qiao Nan chose this time today to say those words to her, meaning to draw a clear line between them.
"This dead girl..." Ding Jiayi was angry enough just by listening to Qiao Zijin's words.
"Okay, it's fine if you curse Qiao Nan in front of me, but if you dare to curse her in front of dad, do you believe that dad will take Qiao Nan away immediately? No wonder Qiao Nan became arrogant and doesn't take you and me seriously. She has dad to support her. I don't know what kind of magic potion Qiao Nan gave dad to make him help her like this. If dad wasn't around, she would have suffered a lot!" She said with certainty that as long as dad was still the same as before and didn't care about the affairs of the family, she was absolutely sure that she could make Qiao Nan tremble with fear when she heard her name!
"Qiao Nan, these are your favorite five-spice melon seeds. Eat more." After Qiao Zijin's reminder, Ding Jiayi rubbed her face that was about to be twisted with anger, walked out with a fake smile, and lovingly placed the melon seeds in the position closest to Qiao Nan.
"Dad, it's eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala has begun." Qiao Zijin excitedly turned on the TV.
In the early 21st century, watching the gala during the New Year was the mainstream.
Sure enough, as soon as the TV was turned on and the familiar melody was heard, the Qiao family quieted down, and the whole family stared at the familiar faces on the TV. The previous inharmonious and awkward atmosphere disappeared completely.
Ding Jiayi sat very close to Qiao Dongliang, and this time, Qiao Dongliang did not refuse. The two of them touched hands and feet, watched the program on TV, and from time to time leaned close to each other and exchanged a sentence or two.
Qiao Zijin was watching language programs with great interest, especially skits and crosstalk. When she heard the jokes, she laughed happily.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the Qiao family's New Year's celebration became much stronger. Everyone was harmonious and happy, and it really felt like a family.
In her previous life, Qiao Nan looked forward to the New Year the most, because New Year's Eve was the only day in the year when she would not be scolded and could eat her fill according to her own will.
But at this moment, Qiao Nan frowned and found that she could no longer fit into this family.
Just like in the previous life, her father, her mother and Qiao Zijin are a family, and she alone is another separate family. One room, four people, but she is the only one who doesn't fit in with the other three.
Especially when she saw that the three of them didn't communicate much, but the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, Qiao Nan felt not only awkward, but also particularly uncomfortable.
The previous open-mindedness and peace of mind were completely ineffective at this time.
At about ten o'clock, Qiao Zijin stretched and yawned: "Dad, Mom, I'm sleepy and I'm going to bed."
"Then..." Qiao Dongliang hesitated. The reunion dinner was over. Should he take Nan Nan home?
"Old Qiao, come with me. I knitted you a new sweater for the New Year. Would you like to try it on?" Ding Jiayi seized the opportunity and looked at Qiao Dongliang with bright eyes, showing her goodwill to Qiao Dongliang.
"Okay..." Qiao Dongliang nodded, not rejecting Ding Jiayi's good intention.
The two girls watched the couple enter the room, especially Qiao Zijin, who laughed happily: "Qiao Nan, if the country did not have family planning, it would be great. Who knows, my parents' wish could be fulfilled. At our age, we can have another little brother."
Seeing Qiao Nan's stern face and silent appearance, Qiao Zijin was even happier. She had suffered so much anger from Qiao Nan today, but at least she got back at him.
Oh, now she was sure that she could still have a happy new year, and went to bed happily: "Your room has not been changed, mom has cleaned it for you. You don't treat us as relatives, so mom and I have done our best for you. Okay, I'm going to bed, if you want to watch TV, continue watching, if you don't want to watch, just go to bed." After all,
there are only Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin at home, even if Qiao Zijin is a woman who doesn't do housework, she has to help at this time. Qiao Zijin, who is not used to it, just feels a little sore all over her body, and just wants to have a good sleep and rest.
It would have been great if her father hadn't moved out with Qiao Nan. Otherwise, all the work she did today would have been Qiao Nan's work.
"Qiao Zijin, why do I feel like your hands have become much rougher in less than half a year?" Qiao Zijin poked Qiao Nan's lungs, and Qiao Nan stabbed Qiao Zijin's heart.
"What did you say?!" Sure enough, Qiao Zijin, who was very sleepy just now, heard Qiao Nan's words, her hair stood up, her eyes widened, and she was like a tigress whose head was stepped on and whose tail was pulled out, and she was just about to show her teeth and claws to Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin used
to be most proud of the fact that her family's conditions were obviously average, but she had a pair of hands that were more delicate and beautiful than those of ordinary people.
