Chapter 206 Vanguard
The winter in Shenzhen is neither as cold as in the north nor as damp and cold as in Hunan.
The reason is that the sun is shining and the breeze is just right.
Even New Year’s Eve is no exception. As soon as you look at the sky outside, you know it will be another sunny day.
Lin Qiu lifted the curtains and couldn't help laughing: "If you celebrate the New Year in Pengcheng, it will basically be sunny every year."
Wang Xiuren got up and stretched himself. "I've been to many places, but when it comes to wintering, I think Pengcheng is the most comfortable. It's neither too cold nor too hot."
The construction site in the mountain city would take another two months to complete, so Wang Xiuren gave himself and his workers a year off on December 26th and would resume work on the sixth day of the first lunar month of the following year.
I don’t know what other people think, but Wang Xiuren felt that he couldn’t bear it any longer, especially after his wife and daughter went there on New Year’s Day. Plus, the closer it got to the end of the year, the more he wanted to go home.
"Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Lin Qiu was considerate of her husband who had been working hard outside for several months. When he came back this time, she always hoped that he would eat well, drink well and rest well.
Wang Xiuren scratched his hair with his hands and said, "I can't sleep. I'll go buy groceries with you."
Since getting married, no matter whether in Yancheng or Pengcheng, Lin Qiu always gets up early to buy groceries on New Year’s Eve every year.
Lin Qiu changed his clothes and yawned again, "You can come with me, I just need someone to help me carry my things."
"That's great! I may not be able to help with other things, but I still have strength." Wang Xiuren shook the quilt and then spread it flat.
After they washed up, Lin Qiu looked at his watch and said, "Let's go quickly. If it's any later, I'm afraid there won't be any good things left."
This is not nonsense.
The Chinese have always had a rule that it is better to get things done early than late.
It is the last business day of the year, and everyone will rush to the market to buy some things for the New Year. In addition, business owners are also anxious to go home for the New Year, so they usually close their stalls at noon.
It was not the first time that Wang Xiuren went shopping for groceries during the Chinese New Year, so he naturally understood this principle. So he did not say much, put on his shoes and opened the door.
"Mom and Dad, do you want me to go with you?" Wang Shan walked over, rubbing her eyes.
"Your father is here! Go back and continue sleeping." Lin Qiu turned around and urged.
Wang Shan walked back obediently, opened the door, and stopped again, "Really don't need me to go? I'm not sleepy!"
Wang Xiuren felt that his daughter was very considerate and sensible, so he said in a pinched voice, "Daddy is here! Just go to sleep."
Wang Shan nodded, walked to the bed, and fell asleep.
"You still say you're not sleepy!" Lin Qiu shook his head and walked out.
The morning wind blew in his face, and Lin Qiu pulled his collar closer, "This morning wind is still a little cold."
Hearing this, Wang Xiuren stood beside her and held her hand. "You should wear more clothes when going out. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Got it. I'll take the scarf you bought with me when I go back." Lin Qiu squeezed her fingers into his and interlocked their fingers.
Wang Xiuren shook her hand back vigorously, then turned his head to look at her with deep affection in his eyes.
Lin Qiu looked back openly and shook the two hands he was holding. She felt that she and Wang Xiuren were a legal couple, and others would only envy their good relationship.
In the final analysis, married people tend to become bolder, especially women who have been married for many years. They are accustomed to intimacy between men and women, and as long as it is not too explicit, they are basically not as shy as young people.
In addition, with today's open social atmosphere, people in informal relationships can hug and kiss each other in public, not to mention legal and decent couples.
When they arrived at the vegetable market, the couple had a tacit understanding. One bargained for the prices while the other carried the things without complaint.
Lin Qiu only planned to buy some vegetables, fish, shrimp and crab today. The other dishes had already been prepared. The key to eating dishes like fish, shrimp and crab is their freshness.
After buying the things, they went home. On the way back, they saw that the door of the flower shop was still open, so Wang Xiuren pulled Lin Qiu in with interest.
"The New Year flowers for the house have been bought." Lin Qiu reminded.
"It won't be a problem to come in and take a look. It's still early anyway!"
Wang Xiuren looked here and there, then went straight to the red roses. He still thought the red roses were the most beautiful.
"Please help me wrap a bouquet of red roses." Wang Xiuren said to the owner of the flower shop.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The boss put down the flowers in his hand and walked over. "Sir, how many roses do you want?"
"Just watch the bag!"
“Not too much!”
The couple said in unison.
The boss smiled and said, "Then let's have eleven, which means love and undivided love."
"Okay!" Wang Xiuren agreed immediately, "Just eleven."
This has a good implication. He is devoted to Lin Qiu!
"Please help me wrap another bouquet of pink tulips for my daughter." Wang Xiuren had no intention of leaving his daughter behind. If his mother-in-law were here, he would have to wrap another bouquet.
"Then let's have six, which means everything goes well!" The proprietress responded while wrapping the lace.
"good!"
After the flowers were wrapped, Wang Xiuren put the roses in Lin Qiu's arms, and followed beside him holding the tulips and carrying the vegetables.
Lin Qiu smiled sweetly while holding a rose.
When Wang Shan woke up, she saw a bouquet of wrapped flowers on the drawer. She ran barefoot and hugged Wang Xiuren, who was watering the flowers and plants on the balcony.
“Thank you, Dad!”
At this time, Lin Qiu had also prepared breakfast.
The noodles are served in a big bone soup with a poached egg and some green vegetables on top.
Wang Xiuren ate a bowl of noodles and drank half a bowl of bone soup, and said contentedly: "I really need to get married. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live my current life."
For him, if he hadn't gotten married, how could he have the happy family he has now? How could he have a gentle and capable wife and a smart and lovely daughter?
Lin Qiu was silent after hearing this.
She had seen many unhappy marriages, both in her past life and now, and even she herself had been disappointed with this marriage. It was not until she brought her daughter to Pengcheng that this marriage slowly bore sweet fruit.
For many people in this world, marriage is like completing a task. When they reach a certain age, all kinds of people around them will urge them to get married, as if not getting married is a heinous crime.
Then they get married and live in a sloppy manner, and the couple often sleep in the same bed but have different dreams, and the whole place is a mess.
Lin Qiu now suddenly realized that the reason why his daughter had difficulty getting married in her previous life was not just because of himself and Wang Xiuren, but most likely because of Wang Shan's own insistence.
"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed." Wang Xiuren could see that Lin Qiu seemed to have different ideas.
Lin Qiu paused before speaking: "What if Shanshan doesn't want to get married in the future?"
Wang Xiuren didn't expect her to talk about his daughter's future. He smiled softly and said, "If you don't want to get married, then don't get married!"
Lin Qiu looked at him in surprise. Even Wang Shan felt that her father was too avant-garde.
