Chapter 148

There were many sounds of firecrackers being set off all around. In the large square not far away, there were already children setting off firecrackers. The crackling sounds mixed with the children's laughter made Qin Xiang unable to hear the man's voice clearly.

Qin Xiang's head was even a little dizzy. She listened to the voice opposite and said, "What is Mr. Meng doing now?"

Meng Huaiqing had a glass of red wine in his hand. He picked it up, shook it to his lips, took a sip and said, "Drinking red wine and talking to Xiangxiang on the phone."

"Oh." Qin Xiang envied, "I want to drink too, but I didn't drink red wine, I drank white wine, Maotai."

Meng Huaiqing laughed, "I'll bring you a few bottles when I go back. There must be one you like."

Qin Xiang said "oh" and looked into the distance, "Then Mr. Meng just drinks, doesn't he miss me?"

I don't know if it's because of the wine, which makes heroes brave, Qin Xiang is very brave at this moment, and even wants to tease Mr. Meng.

Meng Huaiqing's voice was a little hurried, with a hint of hoarseness in it, "Of course I do. Does Xiangxiang miss me?"

During the New Year reunion, although we were not in the same place, it seemed good to think of each other in our hearts.

Qin Xiang smiled and whispered, "I do, and I want to sleep with you."

The other end of the phone was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.

Qin Xiang gathered her clothes and laughed, "Mr. Meng, were you scared by me?"

"Not really." Meng Huaiqing said softly, "I was wondering if I should rush over to let you sleep."

A gust of wind blew by, and Qin Xiang started coughing violently because of the wind that filled her mouth. Meng Huaiqing asked concernedly, "What's wrong?"

Qin Xiang's tears fell, "I was scared by you, please don't do this again."

Meng Huaiqing regretted, "Don't you want me to go over? But I really want to see you."

"No, it's Chinese New Year now. If you run around and play like this, your subordinates won't celebrate Chinese New Year? Be quiet, let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year." Qin Xiang saw Mi Hongjun taking three children to the square to set off firecrackers, and her heart was a little itchy, "Meng Huaiqing, have you set off firecrackers before?"

Meng Huaiqing was stunned and answered honestly, "I set off firecrackers when I was younger, but not after I was fifteen."

In the past, he not only set off firecrackers, but also played car racing, boxing, and all kinds of dangerous activities. He had all the bad habits of a rich second-generation dandy.

But Meng Huaiqing didn't want to say this to Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang responded, "Then I have to say goodbye to you now. I'm going to set off firecrackers."

Although Meng Huaiqing was a little reluctant, he still nodded and agreed, "Okay, have fun."

Fireworks were set off in Victoria Harbor. They could see it clearly from their position, but it would be lonely to watch it alone. No matter how beautiful the fireworks were, they would lose some color.

Qin Xiang ran to find Mi Hongjun and the others, and found that there was another person next to them.

"Qin Xiang, I miss you so much." Hao Jingjing came over and hugged Qin Xiang enthusiastically.

Both of them were wearing thick clothes, and it was right to hug each other like two big bears.

They both couldn't help but giggle when they thought of this.

Not far away, Mi Hongjun was having fun with three children. Hao Jingjing said, "You know, I just like him being silly."

Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Go and tell him that, and see if he will get angry."

"No." Hao Jingjing leaned close to her and whispered, "I asked him to call me sister in private, and he did it."

Qin Xiang widened her eyes and laughed, "Then you are bad enough."

Many people are not optimistic about sister-brother relationships, but the two are really happy when they are together.

Qin Xiang didn't ask Hao Jingjing's parents whether they agreed to it, and Hao Jingjing didn't take the initiative to say it. The two stood aside and watched, and suddenly saw a man and a woman walking side by side at the edge of the square.

The man put his hands in his trouser pockets, wearing a coat in the cold weather, with an upright figure, and the woman was petite, with her hands in her trouser pockets.

The people are very familiar, one is Qin Yang and the other is Zhao Qian.

Hao Jingjing sighed, "I didn't expect them to be together. Their personalities are really different."

Although there is an age gap between her and Mi Hongjun, they are both playful and can find many fun things to do together.

Zhao Qian is a very good-tempered and gentle person, while Qin Yang is not someone to be trifled with.

Qin Xiang laughed, "They are together because they like each other."

"You are right." Hao Jingjing took Qin Xiang's arm and whispered, "What about you and Mr. Meng?"

Qin Xiang didn't look at her, "That's it. The two of you are busy all day long, and when you are free, you have a meal together."

She thinks this is good. Usually they are busy with their own things, and occasionally they have time to have a meal together when they are free, which can be considered as love. If the two of them were to stick together all the time, she simply couldn't imagine it, and she didn't want such a relationship.

Love is a condiment, and it can't take up too much of her time.

Hao Jingjing continued to gossip in a small voice, "What about you two, have

you done that?" Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Did you do that?"

Hao Jingjing blushed and shook her head hurriedly, "No, but we kissed."

Qin Xiang tried to hold back her laughter, "You took the initiative?"

Hao Jingjing didn't deny it, and her eyes even shone like stars, "Yes, I took the initiative, and scared the guy, how could he be so innocent. You talk about him, he's actually a greenhorn. The first time I kissed him, he was so scared that he ran away."

Hao Jingjing laughed unkindly, and Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Indeed, but it's also very innocent, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's right, so innocent." Hao Jingjing squinted her eyes and seemed to be still savoring the moment. "It's a pity that he is still too young. He would be better if he was a little older."

Qin Xiang said, "Isn't that good? If he were a few years older, he might not be so innocent."

Hao Jingjing nodded in agreement, but still didn't want to let Qin Xiang go. "What about you? Did you kiss?"

Qin Xiang shook her head. "No, we didn't do it and we didn't kiss."

Compared with Hao Jingjing, Qin Xiang was more like an experienced driver. "Why rush for such a thing? Take your time."

After finishing the topic, Hao Jingjing wanted to ask more questions, but saw Zhao Qian coming over.

Zhao Qian was wearing a thick coat and a thick scarf, but she still felt cold. "Why are you here? Aren't you cold?"

Hao Jingjing teased, "Who would feel cold when they are together? Did you feel cold just now?"

"Hao Jingjing." Zhao Qian was shy and felt embarrassed.

Hao Jingjing smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say anything."

After that, she asked Zhao Qian curiously, "Have you kissed?"

"Why are you asking?" Zhao Qian looked at Qin Xiang embarrassedly, but saw that Qin Xiang was also smiling there, with a red face.

Zhao Qian refused to answer, but Hao Jingjing kept asking. Zhao Qian was not as shameless as Qin Xiang, and blushed when asked. She nodded hurriedly, "I kissed her once."

Oh my goodness, not to mention Hao Jingjing was shocked, Qin Xiang, as his biological sister, was also shocked.

It's hard to imagine what the third brother is like when he has a girlfriend.

With his temper, is he like a domineering boss?

Or like a gangster leader?

This is not a good question. Zhao Qian didn't dare to look at them anymore. She bit her lip and said, "You guys are so silly. You must have kissed your partners."

Hao Jingjing nodded directly, "Yes, I have. Qin Xiang hasn't."

Zhao Qian was surprised. Hao Jingjing said with regret, "Mr. Meng is so handsome and gentle, with an aura of 2.8 meters, but he has never kissed anyone. Tsk tsk, what a waste."

Qin Xiang said calmly, "I'll tell you when I kiss someone."

"You said so." Hao Jingjing was happy.

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."

Anyway, whether she had kissed someone or not, she would not admit it.

At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone went their separate ways. Those who had partners were sent back by their partners.

Qin Xiang was alone, and her partner was far away in the port city, so she had to go back by herself. She

slowly strolled around the square, watched the children play games, and then went back to make dumplings.

After wrapping the dumplings, the two men who sent the target came back.

As if afraid of being questioned, Mi Hongjun quickly ran out to take care of the children, but Qin Yang was calm, so Qin Baotian asked curiously.

Qin Baotian was really worried about his children.

If he didn't find a target, the father would be anxious, and if he did find a target, the father would also be anxious.

Qin Xiang's target was a big boss in Gangcheng, whose conditions were ten thousand times worse than his own. The son was good, although he didn't come from a very capable family, but he was the girl's friend, and his parents were both intellectuals and high school teachers. It would be fine if Qin Yang had been to school, but Qin Yang only graduated from junior high school.

Qin Baotian was worried that Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing would not be able to go far, and that Zhao Qian's parents would look down on Qin Yang.

Facing his father's worries, Qin Yang was calm, "Don't worry about it. If you really don't like her, then forget it."

This made Qin Baotian angry, "What are you talking about? The purpose of dating is to get married. Don't act like a bad boy in front of her parents, otherwise I won't forgive you."

Qin Yang said impatiently, "I know."

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry. If Zhao Qian's parents didn't agree with your relationship, how could they have let Zhao Qian bring them food? They probably would have locked her up at home and wouldn't let her out."

Qin Baotian sighed, "Third brother, you have to try harder. At least don't stay too far away from her."

Qin Yang had given up on arguing with his father.

Qin Hai looked at the third brother with sympathy and decided to help out, "Look, you don't know again that the third brother is taking the share of this store, and he's busy every day just to make money. Don't worry about it."

"Third brother, shall we go out for a walk?" Qin Xiang stood up and washed his hands. There were not many people outside.

Qin Yang followed her out and asked, "Tell me."

Qin Xiang said, "Third brother, you see I have to stay in the capital for four years, and I can't handle it here in the provincial capital. I will transfer these two stores to you, so that I only need to manage the one in the capital, and don't have to worry about this one. And in the past six months, I don't seem to have managed it. It's all been Third Brother who manages it. In this case, it's not appropriate for me to take all the money."

As a result, Qin Yang shook his head directly, "That was also your capital and your capital. I can't take it. It's true that I'm in charge, but I just run errands. The connections are still made by you."

He paused and said, "Actually, I also want to tell you that I want to transfer the share of Xiangai here to you. I plan to try a different way."

Qin Xiang was surprised, "What do you want to do?"

"Get a few people to do the decoration. I've done it twice in the past six months, and it feels good." Qin Yang said, "I don't want to be around a bunch of women every day. I hope you can understand me."

Qin Xiang was silent. She

really couldn't bear to let her third brother go.

But she couldn't selfishly tie her third brother to her. Now that the business is on the right track, her third brother has a new way out. There is no need for her to stop him. And gradually, there are more and more commercial houses, and everyone's requirements for decoration are also higher. Decoration is indeed a good way.

Qin Xiang thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, then we will settle it after the New Year. If you need money, I still have some here, don't be polite to me."

"I know." Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he has been thinking about how to start the conversation these two days. He also knew that once he left this stall alone, Qin Xiang would have to keep someone here to manage it. After all, it is better to be at ease with your own people.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Yang said, "But don't worry, no matter who stays here, I will keep an eye on them." Qin

Yang's plan was to work in the provincial capital and the surrounding areas for the time being, and then talk about it after finishing here.

Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."

It was very late, and the dumplings were already in the pot when the brother and sister returned. When the clock struck twelve, the crackling sound of firecrackers rang one after another.

Qin Baotian lit firecrackers downstairs, and Qin Xiang brought a bowl of dumplings to Grandpa Ge.

Grandpa Ge didn't sleep either, and started pouring wine with the mixed carrot shreds and dumplings.

"When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty. Haha."

The old man was so happy that he even started to recite poetry.

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Grandpa Ge, happy New Year."

It was past twelve o'clock, and it was a new year.

Qin Xiang was about to leave, but Grandpa Ge called her and handed her a red envelope, "This is what Huai Qing asked me to give you before he left, a New Year's red envelope."

Qin Xiang was stunned when she saw the thick red envelope, but she still reached out to take it, "Thank you."

Putting the red envelope in her pocket and stroking the texture on the red envelope with her fingers, Qin Xiang was in a very happy mood.

She said in her heart: Meng Huaiqing, Happy New Year.

Meng Huaiqing didn't mention this when they talked on the phone in the evening. She didn't expect that he was waiting for her here.

Qin Xiang missed Meng Huaiqing a little.

She returned to the small building and ate dumplings with others, and then went to bed.

On the first day of the New Year, every family is happily reunited.

Qin Xiang got up early in the morning and found that it was snowing outside.

The three children were already taken by Mi Hongjun to make snowmen in the square. In addition to them, there were many children around. I don't know how energetic he is.

That's not right. The children went to bed early last night. The one who was energetic was Mi Hongjun. He is indeed young.

Qin Xiang washed her face and brushed her teeth, and put a thick layer of cream on her face. When she went out, she saw Qin Baotian also got up.

Seeing her get up, he stretched out his hand, "Come here."

Qin Xiang went over, and Qin Baotian took out a red envelope, "New Year's money."

Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're still giving me New Year's money."

"If you're not married, you're a child. Take it. Your fourth sister and third brother will have one."

Thinking of the expressions of the two children when they took the red envelope, Qin Baotian was still quite happy.

Qin Xiang didn't refuse, and took the red envelope back. When she opened it, it wasn't much, just ten yuan.

But this is the love from her father.

Qin Xiang took out the red envelope that Mr. Ge gave her last night, with gold stamping on it.

Qin Xiang thought of Meng Huaiqing, and finally opened the red envelope. It was full of money, including big Tuanjie and US dollars, and the amount was quite large.

As expected, the rich are generous.

Qin Xiang accepted it.

After going out, Mi Hongjun and others also came back. Qin Baotian happily handed out red envelopes one by one. The three children didn't know where they learned it, and knelt down to kowtow to Qin Baotian in a serious manner, "Grandpa, grandma, happy new year."

Qin Baotian picked up the two children and handed them one by one, "Happy New Year."

"Come on, come on, give out red envelopes."

As the aunt and sister-in-law, Qin Xiang naturally prepared red envelopes, one for each person, even Mi Hongjun.

Now Mi Hongjun is a money-grubber, who wants money from anyone, and is so happy that his teeth are not visible.

But he likes the three children very much, and each of them has a red envelope, a thick one.

It was a pity that the children just passed the red envelopes around and were soon confiscated by their parents.

Qin Xiang couldn't bear to see this, so she gave each of them 1 cent, "Take it, buy some candy."

1 cent made the children happy.

They had no idea how much money was.

They reunited on the first day of the New Year, and on the second day, Qin Hai's family of four took a bus back to the county.

Qin Xiang took the gifts to Zhao Qian's house, but who knew that Jie Zong's family also came to pay New Year's greetings. Qin Xiang

was speechless. Shouldn't she go back to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year? Why did Jie Zong and his family come?

She and Jie Zong really hadn't seen each other for a while, and because of what happened during the National Day, Qin Xiang also had a cold expression towards Wen Yanan.

Jie Zong took the initiative to say, "Qin Xiang, long time no see."
