Presumably, his father also knew the harm of stupid people and wanted to teach her a lesson, so he arranged for her to go to Changxing Island.
It's better to suffer a little early and be more careful, otherwise you will get into big trouble later.
Yun Qiao sighed and said, "I never thought she had this kind of personality before. She's completely different from you and my second brother. I don't know who she takes after."
"It's because he's never been beaten since he was a child." He Tingjun saw it clearly.
He said to Yun Qiao, "When Tingyu and I were young, my father had just been transferred to the southwest. At that time, the southwest was not peaceful. My mother was afraid that something might happen to my brother and me, so she didn't bring us with her when she came to join the army. We grew up with our grandparents in Shanghai and didn't come here until Tingyu was in junior high school."
"He Ying was born after my mother came to the southwest. She was the only one of the three children who stayed with her, so naturally she couldn't bear to hit or scold her. She doted on her with all her heart. But she was busy with work at the hospital and couldn't look after her on weekdays, so she had to hire a nanny. The nanny couldn't even read, so naturally she didn't know how to teach the child. She just knew to go along with the child's wishes, giving her whatever she wanted and letting her do as long as she didn't cry or make a fuss."
"If one child doesn't care, and the other doesn't care, and they just let the child grow up recklessly, it's only natural that he'll grow up crooked. By the time my mother realized what was happening and had time to intervene, He Ying was already in elementary school. It was too late to intervene at that time."
"Ten-year-olds have many ways to coax their parents by acting cute and spoiled."
"So that's how it is..." Yun Qiao sighed, "No wonder you three siblings are so different. You're all from the same family, but she's so much worse than you. Children's education is indeed a big problem."
He Tingjun nodded in agreement: "So Yanyan must be carefully supervised from a young age. We can't let her become like He Ying."
It's bad enough having a sister like this.
Because of what happened between He Ying and Zou Yuan, this year was quite boring.
She always had a sullen face at home, as if someone owed her a lot of money. As long as she was around, others would feel uncomfortable even if they smiled. So Yun Qiao didn't like staying at the He family. Every day, she would hug Yanyan and drag He Tingjun out to run.
There are many places to play in Spring City. He Tingjun took her and the children to Cuihu Garden, Red Sun Square, and also to the old streets and ancient towns of Spring City, filling the two days before New Year's Eve.
In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Aunt Lan went home on vacation. Shi Shan got up early in the morning and started cleaning the house. She called Yun Qiao over to put up Spring Festival couplets together.
In the southwest, it is not customary to eat dumplings during the New Year. Instead, people eat kaoerkuai, a food similar to rice cake.
But Shi Shan and He Ruilin are not from Southwest China. They are from Shanghai, and they prepare more dumplings and glutinous rice balls during the Chinese New Year.
At noon, we put up spring couplets and cleaned the house. In the afternoon, we started making dumplings and glutinous rice balls, and preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner in advance.
He Tingjun was a master at household chores, and making dumplings was no problem for him. He's son-in-law, Zou Yuan, was also a master at this, so on the afternoon dumpling-making board, one rolled out the dough while the other made the dumplings, their speed so fast that they left everyone else out of the way.
Yun Qiao couldn't help much, so he turned and went to the kitchen.
Shi Shan was busy in the kitchen. Her cooking skills were average, but Aunt Lan helped her cheat in advance.
Steamed meat, roast chicken, and fish are all prepared in advance. When cooking, just put them in the steamer and steam them again before serving. The cold dishes also have a recipe written in advance: one spoonful of salt, half a spoonful of sugar, half a spoonful of soy sauce, and one spoonful of vinegar...
As long as you follow the recipe strictly, the taste will be good even if you are a kitchen idiot.
The only difficult part is a few quick stir-fries, but these can be cooked in the evening when the banquet is about to start. By then, He Tingjun’s dumplings will have been wrapped, so he can come and do it.
Yun Qiao showed up in the kitchen for a moment, and Shi Shan 'spurred' him out to look after the children. "Just focus on accompanying Yanyan. I don't need your help here."
So Yun Qiao took a walk around the house and found that she and He Ying, who also took care of the children, were the only ones who had the most free time in the house.
But she couldn't speak to He Ying. They looked at each other and then looked away tacitly.
He Ying took Zou Chen upstairs to play with toys, and Yun Qiao took He Yan to swing in the yard.
This went on all night.
Because all the family members were gathered together, He Ruilin came early on New Year's Eve, which was a rare occasion. Before nine o'clock, the family sat together to have a reunion dinner.
Because he had to appear in front of the troops to comfort the three armed forces at midnight, he did not drink any alcohol at the dinner table. He just ate some food and chatted with his family.
During the New Year, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention those unhappy things, but everyone could see that He Ying was forcing a smile.
After dinner, He Ruilin and Shi Shan sat in the living room and gave red envelopes to the younger generations.
Normally, there would be no red envelopes to receive after marriage, but Yun Qiao was in the southwest for the first time, so He Ruilin and Shi Shan gave her one specially.
He Yan recited the New Year greetings that Yun Qiao had taught her in advance to her grandparents in a baby voice, making them smile from ear to ear. As expected, she received two thick red envelopes.
She called her uncle, aunt, uncle, He Tingyu and Zou Yuan in turn and they all gave her red envelopes.
He Ying didn't give it to him, and the atmosphere was awkward for two seconds. Zou Yuan quickly came to the rescue and said that the share he gave was for the couple.
Yun Qiao withheld the portion he had prepared for Zou Chen and only asked He Tingjun to give the red envelope to Zou Chen, saying that it was given on behalf of the couple.
He Ying's face looked a little ugly, but she was the one who did it first, and Yun Qiao was just following her example, so He Ying opened her mouth but said nothing in the end and passed the matter over.
After handing out the red envelopes, He Ruilin hurried back to the troops.
As soon as the head of the family left, everyone slowly dispersed.
Zou Chen yawned, and He Ying took him upstairs on the pretext of something, and he never came down again.
Zou Yuan helped Shi Shan clean up the New Year's Eve dinner, and Yun Qiao also volunteered to help. He Tingjun first coaxed He Yan to sleep, then came over to help wipe the table and clean the floor.
By the time we finished the work, it was almost twelve o'clock.
Shi Shan turned on the radio at home and listened to the radio program in Chuncheng. While listening to the broadcast, she stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year for the last ten minutes.
After the New Year's Eve, the year's tasks were completed and the living room was completely empty.
He Tingjun held Yun Qiao's hand and went into the room.
The couple took a shower one after another. Yun Qiao was not sleepy, so he sat on the edge of the bed and opened the red envelopes given by his family.
The red envelope given by the two elders naturally has the largest face value.
Her red envelopes and He Yan's were the same, with big unity notes inside. Each of them gave five, a total of four red envelopes, with two hundred yuan in them.
The red envelope that He Tingyu gave to He Yan was two big unity banknotes, each worth twenty yuan.
The same goes for Zou Yuan, also twenty yuan.
This was all discussed privately in advance. The two cards were united, and no one gave more or less, so as to avoid favoritism.
The only surprise was He Ying's sudden decision to stop giving. Zou Yuan came to the rescue and said that the red envelope he gave was for the couple. Yun Qiao had no choice but to urgently withhold his own and asked He Tingjun to give it in the name of the couple.
This is not a big deal, but it makes Yun Qiao feel uncomfortable.
