Chapter 447 No Taboos
Mother Lu and Father Lu watched for a long time, and saw Lu Qiu walk around the door and then sit down.
Mother Lu couldn't hold back her tears. Although she knew that Lu Qiu could stand up and walk, hearing Lu Qiu say it was different from seeing it in person. After she found herself shedding tears, she quickly raised her hand to wipe them away. "It's a good thing. This is a good thing. Don't cry. I'll cook your favorite dish and open a bottle of wine. Let's celebrate."
Today, the chef, driver and auntie in the family are all on holiday. The New Year’s Eve dinner has been ordered. For lunch, the chefs have prepared the complicated dishes and left, but they usually still cook a few dishes by themselves for the sake of family reunion.
When Brother Lu saw that Lu Qiu could stand up, his eyes were full of surprise. He couldn't help but think of the extremely low pressure days some time ago.
Fortunately, Master Xia came at that time, and fortunately, Master Xia pulled Lu Qiu back.
Thinking of this, Brother Lu said sincerely: "When will you invite Master Xia to your home? You and Master Xia have only been dating for a short time, so don't always think about work. A romantic relationship needs to be maintained."
Lu Qiu: “…”
Is it possible that he was only focused on his relationship, so he had to work overtime like crazy in the past few days...
But he might need to go out for a longer time later. Thinking of this, Lu Qiu looked at his elder brother and sighed deeply, "I want to, but you know, my company is in the development stage. Even though there are people who can help me do most of the things, there are still some things I have to control myself. She and I... Alas, she was busy, but I heard that she will be away for a while after the New Year, so I will not be able to see her anymore. I wanted to go out with her, alas."
"I feel like Xia Xia has something against me, but what can I do? Although my company is not big, it affects many people's jobs. Sometimes I really feel powerless..."
"When you go out, let them send the things to me." Brother Lu said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, a fragile relationship requires a lot of help to maintain.
"Thank you, brother." Lu Qiu thanked him sincerely, "Brother, please post this too..."
Lu Qiu suddenly understood why Xia Wange liked to trick people. This feeling was really good.
"What is this?" Brother Lu frowned as he looked at the two drawings in his hand. "Who drew this? The face looks ferocious, but there are no other features. The clothes... these aren't armor, are they? They just drew a few strokes of clothes and that's it?"
Except for the head, it looks like a child's graffiti, with a tiger head and an earthworm tail.
"Xia Xia drew it. She said that this thing only needs an immediate understanding. The armor is not the main body, the face is, and the clothes are enough. It's just a gesture." Lu Qiu had just finished speaking when his mother Lu, who had come out to get something, heard it. She hurried over, took the door god portrait and looked it up and down.
"Oh, Master Xia's hands are really skillful. Look at this door god, he looks like a door god. Look at the clothes, just a few simple strokes, and you can feel that the other person is wearing armor and looks majestic. A master is a master." Mother Lu handed the portrait to Brother Lu, "Come on, put it on quickly to keep the family peaceful."
Brother Lu frowned as he took the door god portrait and looked at the elaborate head and simple clothes in the picture...
He asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to put it on the door?"
"Why not? It looks so nice." Mother Lu said, "Tomorrow many people will come to pay New Year's greetings. Put this up to celebrate. By the way, Lu Qiu, when will Master Xia come?"
"Tomorrow as well." Lu Qiu said, "She said she would come to pay New Year's greetings early tomorrow morning."
"Oh, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mother Lu hurried back, "I have to prepare something quickly."
Brother Lu pasted the door god portrait on the door with a speechless mood. He stepped back and looked at it a few times, feeling helpless.
He confirmed his thoughts again and again in his heart that a fragile relationship needs to be maintained by everyone. He was helping Lu Qiu, and his mother was lying with her eyes open.
Xia Wange's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by Cao Niannian. She said that she used to cook it at home, and every time after the dishes were served, her family would complain that she was slow. Every time she finished cooking, most of the food on the table had been eaten, and she had to wash the dishes while everyone was watching the Spring Festival Gala.
It’s better now. I can cook a table full of dishes. Even if there are few people, she can still eat from beginning to end.
Xia Wange burned incense for his master and then sat down to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Zhou Xingwang also found a chair and sat down to eat the food with incense sticks prepared for him by Cao Niannian.
"Do you have a plane to catch later?" Xia Wange asked, "Shall I take you there?"
"No need." Cao Niannian waved her hand, "My friend and I have already arranged a car."
Although Cao Niannian has a good income, she is still very frugal. After looking around, she found that the ticket price was the cheapest on New Year's Eve, so she made an appointment to go out and play with her friends. She also planned to bring Zhou Xingwang with her. As long as Zhou Xingwang is attached to something, he can be taken away.
Thinking of this, Cao Niannian asked Xia Wange: "Sister Xia, are you okay alone? Isn't Mr. Lu coming to accompany you?"
"It's okay." Xia Wange waved her hand, "Besides, I have something to do too."
Cao Niannian glanced at the incense in the incense burner by the window and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xia, don't you need to make a portrait or something to worship your master?"
"My master is not dead." Xia Wange laughed, "Why do you want a portrait?"
Hearing this, Cao Niannian quickly said, "Oh, I said the wrong thing, bah, bah, bah, just now I saw you mumbling something, bowing three times and something else..."
"When we were in the mountains before, during the New Year, my brothers and sisters and I felt that we had to do something to show our respect and have a sense of ritual." Xia Wange pointed at the table, "Finally, we decided to light incense and worship our master. At that time, a row of us knelt down with incense in our hands and kowtowed three times to our sleeping master. She was so scared that she thought she was the last one to know that she was dead."
"Then this tradition was preserved. During the Chinese New Year, I would pay my respects to my master. If she could bring me something, it would be more effective than the God of Wealth."
Cao Niannian: “…”
"You and your fellow seniors really have no taboos."
When Cao Niannian saw Master Xia's nostalgic look and was about to ask why he didn't contact his senior brothers and sisters, Master Xia's phone rang.
She got up and went back to her room to answer the phone. The caller was Lu Qiu.
"What? You're wishing me a happy new year so early? The Spring Festival Gala hasn't even started yet, and the New Year's bell hasn't rung yet..."
