Chapter 40: Meeting on New Year's Eve



Qian Muchue returned home just in time for lunch. The familiar aroma of food filled her with a sense of happiness. This was home. When she rushed back from a long journey, there was always someone waiting for her at home.

"Grandma, I'm back." Qian Muchue shouted while knocking on the door.

Hearing her granddaughter's voice, Grandma Qian hurried over to open the door. Looking at her granddaughter who covered herself tightly, she smiled and asked her to come into the house quickly.

"Where is Qian Xiaoya?" Qian Muchue asked her daughter while dragging her luggage.

Hearing someone calling her name, Qian Xiaoya staggered out of the room, holding on to the wall. In more than twenty days, Qian Xiaoya would be one year old.

"Oh, my little darling." Grandma Qian picked up Qian Xiaoya.

"Mom feels cold. Wait until I change clothes before I play with you." Grandma Qian hugged Qian Xiaoya and coaxed her.

Qian Muchue went back to her room, changed into a comfortable set of home clothes, and took Qian Xiaoya from Grandma Qian.

"Grandma, I haven't seen you for more than 10 days. I feel that Yaya has grown up a lot." Qian Muchue held Qian Xiaoya's hand and played with her. Looking at her mother whom she hadn't seen for more than 10 days, Qian Xiaoya didn't feel strange at all.

"Children grow with the wind, but our Yaya grows faster than others. When you were a child, you couldn't walk at this time. And Yaya is also very strong, which shows that we have taken good care of Yaya." Grandma Qian said with a smile.

Qian Xiaoya's physique is indeed better than other children in all aspects. Since Qian Muchue came here, she has never been sick. I don't know if it's because of her mother's filter, but I always feel that Qian Xiaoya is smarter than other babies.

"Grandma Qian, Sister Qian, it's time to eat." Chen Yu laid out the food, including Qian Xiaoya's minced meat and vegetable porridge.

After eating the crew's boxed lunches for more than 10 days, I am now eating home-cooked meals. They are so delicious. I told Grandma Qian yesterday that I would be back today, and she bought a lot of vegetables specially.

Qian Xiaoya sat in her baby chair, eating the vegetable porridge obediently with a spoon, without getting any of it on her body.

After a good rest at home for a day, the Chinese New Year is just a few days away. Chen Yu also told her that February 3rd will be a holiday and she can go home to celebrate the Spring Festival.

There was one last thing left to do before the Spring Festival, which was the studio she was working on with Zhao Xi. Before going to City B, Zhao Xi had discussed spring clothes with her. The two of them selected a few styles with relatively high reliability, asked the factory to process them, sell them online, and advertise.

Zhao Xi was in charge of the marketing, and Qian Muchue was responsible for being a model and taking photos. At the beginning, every penny saved was a penny saved. Qian Muchue had such good conditions that she simply saved the model fee.

The photo shoot was scheduled for February 2nd. Zhao Xi made up his mind and booked a professional photographer and studio. The two people were heartbroken at the thought of spending so much money. Fortunately, Qian Muchue's performance made Zhao Xi feel much better.

Depending on the occasions that each piece of clothing is suitable for, Qian Muchue gives different expressions, including sweet date outfits, simple office outfits, and date outfits with best friends. Qian Muchue has just the right expression for each.

After the film came out, Zhao Xi looked at every set of clothes and felt that he wanted to buy them all.

In addition to the photos, a short video was also shot with the theme "I have a date with spring".

Zhao Xi is efficient. In the past two months, he contacted the processing factory, opened the Yunchang Studio, hired two designers, set up the Yunchang online store, and established an official Weibo account. He was just waiting for the official opening on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival.

The two elders of the Zhao family knew what Zhao Xi was doing. The Zhao family started out in real estate, so they didn't care about their daughter's little mischief and just regarded it as gaining experience.

As for Zhao Wan, she hasn't been keeping an eye on Zhao Xi recently. She is studying acting and has not yet produced any real work. She has been looking for opportunities recently. Her agency has also contacted Xingyao, which is also a well-known domestic agency. If there are no problems, Zhao Wan will sign with Xingyao after the new year.

On February 3, Chen Yu did not come home. Only Qian Muchue, Grandma Qian and Qian Xiaoya were at home. Before the little girl left, she filled the refrigerator and put several boxes of dumplings in the freezer so that they could eat during the Spring Festival.

Grandma Qian has been acting a little strange lately, often becoming dazed and motionless while doing something. Qian Muchue understands. She didn't notice it before when they were in the countryside, but now that she is in City A, the closer it gets to the Spring Festival, the more the old lady thinks about how nice it would be for the family to be reunited.

Although Qian Muchue felt sorry for the old lady, she was powerless to help with the emotional issue, unless she shamelessly took Grandma Qian to the Qian family to celebrate the New Year. But what about Qian Xiaoya? Qian Yifeng hadn't even called Grandma Qian for so long. Otherwise, she could send Grandma Qian to the Qian family, or she could take Qian Xiaoya with her.

"Grandma, are you thinking about my dad?"

"Xiaoxue, the New Year is coming soon. Grandma always thinks how nice it would be for the whole family to be together." Grandma Qian said dejectedly.

"Grandma, please wait a little longer. Next year, when Qian Xiaoya grows up a little, I will definitely let you celebrate the New Year with dad." Qian Muchue promised.

She will graduate next year, so she is not afraid that Qian Yifeng will make trouble about Qian Xiaoya.

"Good child." Grandma Qian also knew that her thoughts were too much for her granddaughter. If her granddaughter hadn't brought her to City A, she wouldn't even be able to see her son. Now she is living such a good life, but she always wants better.

But the feelings of the elderly towards their children cannot be explained clearly by reason.

On New Year's Eve, Qian Muchue personally prepared eight dishes and a soup. Qian Xiaoya was also infected by this festive day and smiled all day long.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten early. Qian Muchue had discussed with Grandma Qian a few days in advance that the family would go to Peace Square to watch the New Year’s Eve celebration on New Year’s Eve.

Peace Square has the largest LED electronic display screen in City A. Many people watch the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's Eve together there. Unlike before, Qian Muchue now loves the hustle and bustle, and hopes that Grandma Qian and Qian Xiaoya will also have a lively time.

The special car was booked in advance. Because it was Chinese New Year, the price was much more expensive than usual. As there was no child seat in the car, Qian Muchue held Qian Xiaoya, who was wrapped like a giant panda, in her arms. Grandma Qian took Qian Xiaoya's small bag, which contained water, paper and some other things, and put the stroller in the trunk of the car.

When we arrived at Peace Square, there were already a lot of people there, some buying toys. Qian Muchue bought a glow stick for Qian Xiaoya, and the little girl was waving it around in her hand, looking very excited.

On the other side, in the Rolls-Royce.

Cheng Xu looked at Gong Chen who was resting with his eyes closed. Every Chinese New Year, his boss would be on a business trip, just like today. In fact, the project in City A had been almost completed, but the boss suddenly came to City A on a business trip, which made the old guys in City A tremble with fear, thinking that something unexpected had happened.

"Mr. Gong, this place is very close to Peace Square. Why don't we go there to watch the New Year's Eve party and then go back to the hotel." Cheng Xu suggested. He hoped that his boss could also feel the New Year's atmosphere.

"Yeah." Gong Chen responded indifferently. To him, all the happy family festivals were meaningless, and he didn't want to waste his energy on such meaningless things.

In Peace Square, Gong Chen stood outside the crowd, watching the meaningless excitement, with Chen Xu standing beside him.

Suddenly, a chubby spherical species hugged his legs and appeared out of nowhere. Gong Chen looked down and saw the little guy looking up at him.

"Ah, ah, mom, ah." The little guy showed his two big front teeth and babbled something.

Looking at this smiling face, Gong Chen didn't know why he felt a softness in his heart.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." A familiar voice apologized to him, and then the woman picked up the chubby creature and said with a serious face, "Qian Xiaoya, you've grown up and dared to run around."

Gong Chen watched the familiar woman walking away with the baby in her arms. The little one was smiling happily in her arms. An old lady walked over pushing a stroller.

"Mr. Gong, this..." Cheng Xu was stunned by the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

If that woman had appeared a few months ago, he might not have recognized her, after all, she had changed so much. However, his boss had just asked about Qian Muchue some time ago and even raised her pay for a movie. As an assistant, of course he paid attention to this woman.

What stunned him was the little baby in her arms. It was not what he imagined. If it was true, then Mr. Gong’s wish would have come true.

"Check." Gong Chen said this word calmly. As for the turmoil in his heart, only he knew it.

"Yes." Cheng Xu heard himself answer.

The LED display screen in Peace Square is counting down, 10, 9, 8...

Everyone looked at the display screen and shouted the countdown together.

Only Gong Chen was looking at the mother and daughter at the edge of the crowd. The woman was counting happily, and the little one in her arms was also responding with a smile. Gong Chen seemed to see light on them.

Qian Muchue on this side excitedly shouted "10, 9, 8...1", and after shouting 1, she cheered with the crowd. Grandma Qian also laughed when she saw how lively it was. Qian Xiaoya saw her mother and great-grandmother laughing, and she also laughed.

"Grandma, you must keep an eye on Qian Xiaoya when you go out with Chen Yu in the future. This little girl is starting to run around." Qian Muchue and Grandma Qian said.

Just now, Qian Xiaoya was impatient to sit in the stroller, so Qian Muchue let her out to walk and play. The chubby Qian Xiaoya walked even more unsteadily and staggered. The glow stick in her hand fell to the ground. While she was picking it up, the little guy hugged the stranger's lap and was not shy at all.

It would be too easy for this child to get lost if left outside. What if he encounters a bad person? Qian Muchue started to worry.

"Our little darling will be sensible when he grows up and won't run around anymore, right, little Yaya?" Grandma Qian teased Qian Xiaoya with a smile.

"Ya-ya-ya." Qian Xiaoya answered in baby language.

Qian Muchue could see that this little girl was a crowd-pleaser. She got excited when she was in a crowded place.
