This bag is ridiculously good-looking; even the aunties carrying groceries think it's ugly.
It's amazing that she could say such things against her will, and He Ning actually believed her.
He gently patted He Jing's head, his eyes full of affection, and said, "If you like it, I'll buy it for you again in the future."
He Jing's smile froze, and she quickly said, "Second brother, let's not buy such expensive things. Mom will be heartbroken if she finds out. Besides, I'm still a student. It's best to focus on my studies and not chase after trends."
She spoke in a high-sounding manner, but He Ning was an extremely intelligent person and immediately sensed that something was wrong. His emotions changed, but he did not show any abnormality on his face. He simply said, "Okay, then I'll buy you a different style next time."
He Zhou's eyes were cold, and his tone was sarcastic: "I've already bought all of He Jing's clothes, and the bags and accessories are the same. I'd appreciate it if you could give He Jing something else in the future, so that it doesn't clash with mine."
He Ning glanced at He Zhou, her attitude indifferent: "It's not that it's impossible, but you still have to ask other people's opinions. Even if I agree, they might not agree..."
"As long as Second Brother agrees, that's fine." After saying that, he pulled He Jing, who was standing in front of He Ning, over. "Let's go, you idiot."
He Jing said helplessly, "Third Brother, please don't make personal attacks during the New Year."
"You can't even refuse something you don't like? Aren't you stupid?"
"..."
He Jing glanced back at He Ning awkwardly, then followed He Zhou out.
Mother He was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and needed help.
She had originally asked He Sui to come and help wash the vegetables, but before she knew it, He Sui had ruined the perfectly good vegetable leaves. So she shooed He Sui away and, under He Sui's resentful gaze, said, "Call Xiao Yi and Chen Chen."
He Sui looked dissatisfied and unwilling, and made up a story: "Fifth Brother is painting, and Sixth Brother is writing, so why don't I do it?"
Mother He, though outwardly fierce, was inwardly stern: "This is your sister's first Spring Festival with us. I don't want to feed your sister rotten food. You better behave yourself and go call over someone who's not busy."
So He Sui called out to He Zhou, interrupting He Jing, He Ning, and He Zhou as they were talking.
At this moment, Mother He had finished preparing three dishes, and there were still nine dishes to prepare. With ten people in the family, she planned to cook twelve dishes.
The twelve dishes, which is also two sixes, symbolize good fortune and auspiciousness.
Mr. He is fixing the water pipes in the toilet and can't take care of the kitchen for the time being.
As soon as He Jing stepped out, Xi Xi surrounded her, wagging its tail wildly, hoping she would keep it company. However, it was quickly taken away by He Xiao Guo, who was bored watching TV alone and wanted to pet it.
The two entered the kitchen and saw He's mother washing a pig's stomach. The smell of the pig's stomach made her want to back away, but He Jing immediately rushed over and said, "Mom, let me do it."
"I'll do it."
He Zhou took the pig's stomach from his mother first.
He Jing's hand was caught empty-handed.
After washing her hands, He Jing's mother pulled He Jing aside and quietly slipped a red envelope into her hand, saying, "Jingjing, this is your New Year's money. Keep it safe. I'll give you another one when I give New Year's money to Xiaoyuan and the others later."
He Jing asked, half-surprised and half-doubting, "Mom?"
"Who told you to be Mom's only precious daughter?" Mother He patted her hair with a smile and affection. "Your New Year's money will be given to you separately by your father and me. Hide it well and don't let the fourth son see it, or he'll probably make a scene."
