Chapter 195

National Day is a big day in China. Every time this day comes, the square is always very lively. Especially after the reform and opening up, more foreigners come to China. The lives of Chinese people have improved, and more people come to travel, so it is even more lively.

The reason why Qin Juan wanted to come to the capital was to fulfill Qin Nian's wish, to watch the national flag and sing the national anthem. Considering that Qin Nian had suffered before, Qin Juan agreed directly, but she never thought that she would meet Gao Yulan again, which made her determined to move to the capital.

Under the feet of the emperor, bad people can retreat, right?

Qin Xiang had a holiday on the 30th, and was called by Meng Huaiqing at more than three o'clock in the morning on the 1st. Qin Xiang was unwilling to move, and no matter who made a fuss until late the night before, she didn't want to get up.

Meng Huaiqing also felt a little guilty, "Get up, we have to go out early to watch the flag-raising ceremony."

Qin Xiang had no choice but to get up, and then the two of them went to the store to call Qin Juan and Qin Nian. Unexpectedly, Qin Baotian and the mother and daughter got up early, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly said, "Let's go, don't go too late or there will be no room."

Yes, it is crowded during holidays, let alone at this time.

Seeing Meng Huaiqing coming, Qin Juan was still a little worried. Qin Xiang said, "What are you thinking about, sister? Let's go."

The five people went out, and Meng Huaiqing instructed, "There will be a lot of people in the square, and there may be kidnappers, so you must watch the children, especially someone as young as Nian Nian, it's best not to come down."

Hearing this, Nian Nian hugged her mother's neck tightly, "I won't come down."

Qin Baotian stretched out his hand, "Come, grandma will hold you, mommy can't hold you anymore."

Nian Nian hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand for grandma to hold her, "Mommy is tired."

Children's words can touch people's hearts the most. Qin Xiang's heart softened, "Niannian is so good, you are really mommy's little quilt."

Nian Nian showed a little millet tooth when praised by her aunt.

A few people went out, Qin Xiang and Qin Juan followed and talked in a low voice behind them. Qin Juan looked at Meng Huaiqing in front of her and whispered, "You like children so much, don't you plan to have one yourself?"

"How do you know I like children?" Qin Xiang looked at Qin Juan.

Qin Juan choked, "I see you like Nian Nian very much."

Qin Xiang nodded as a matter of course, "Yes, I like Nian Nian very much, but it is precisely because she is not my daughter that I like her."

Seeing that Qin Juan disagreed, Qin Xiang hurriedly said, "Oh, don't worry about it. Giving birth to a child is so painful and so painful, and there is no guarantee that the child will be filial to me when he grows up, so why should I take the risk? Besides, I'm still young now. Why should I think about children? I might as well think about how to make money with this free time. If you are afraid that no one will take care of me in the future, I will treat Nian Nian nicer and let her take care of me in the old age, okay?"

"You are so beautiful." Qin Juan was so mad at her. Although she now thinks that all men are bad, it is still necessary to have children.

But having a child cannot escape the biological father of the child. It would be better if the biological father would be gone after the child is born. Especially it would be better if a bastard like Zhao Qianjin died, so that he would not be a disaster when he is alive. What if he is old and then uses moral kidnapping to make Nian Nian support him in his old age?

But Meng Huaiqing looks very good, and his family background is also good. If her sister really wants to have a child, it is estimated that he will not let the child follow her sister alone.

Alas.

It is not easy to worry about finding a partner, but it is also worrying if it is too good.

Qin Xiang didn't know that her sister thought so much in her heart. If she knew, she would definitely laugh.

She was hurt by men and children in her last life, and she has resistance to these two creatures in this life. It's okay to fall in love, but it's better to turn against each other as soon as she puts on her pants. Forget about marriage. At least she has no plans to get married at this time.

We will talk about the future later.

But she really doesn't want to have a child. She

has to raise the child after giving birth. Not to mention that she has to take good care of the child's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating when he is young, and a disease can cost her mother's life.

No, no, her life is more important, she just wants to be happier in this life.

Besides, Meng Huaiqing is indifferent to children, and it doesn't seem that he likes children very much. If Meng Huaiqing really wants to have a child in the future, then they will break up and let him find another woman to have a child. With Meng Huaiqing's conditions, even if he is in his forties or fifties, there will probably be someone willing to have a child for him. It was

the middle of the night, and she was not afraid of the crowds. Nian Nian had already fallen asleep on Qin Baotian's shoulder.

The closer they got to the square, the more people there were, black-haired and blond-haired, all rushing to the shocking scene of raising the national flag.

When they got there, there were already people in the front.

However, they came early and their seats were relatively close to the front. When they stood at a place, Meng Huaiqing said, "Go to the front."

Qin Xiang took a closer look and found that Miao Sheng had already taken a few people to the front. Good fellow, Qin Xiang suspected that Miao Sheng did not go back last night.

A few people squeezed in, and then Miao Sheng came out with a few people. This did not cause dissatisfaction among the people behind. One radish was replaced by another. People were willing and others could not do anything.

When they were at the front, the view was also wide.

To be honest, she had only seen it once in her previous life on the periphery or on TV. The spectacular scene was timeless and hard to forget.

Now standing at the front, able to watch from a close distance, there is some excitement and emotion in my heart.

It is still early, Meng Huaiqing said, "It is still early, why don't you lean on my shoulder and take a nap?"

Qin Xiang was speechless, "Do you think I am Lao Ma, can I fall asleep while standing? Forget it, let's not sleep, just chat to kill time."

Although there are lights in the square, it is still a little dim, and there is nothing else to do except chatting.

Nian Nian is sleeping soundly, and Qin Juan keeps her eyes on her. Qin Baotian whispered to Qin Xiang, "How long will it take?"

Qin Xiang said, "It's still early, at least when the sun comes out."

There is no way, there are many people coming to watch, in order to occupy a favorable position to see clearly, they all come in the middle of the night, otherwise they can't see it at all.

Qin Baotian took a breath, "It's really tiring."

But thinking that this was the national flag raising ceremony, he made himself more serious, "It's okay to wait, it's okay to wait."

After a while, Qin Baotian said, "There will be a performance at Labor Square tomorrow morning."

Qin Xiang nodded and didn't care.

After a while, Meng Huaiqing asked, "Uncle Qin, will you go to the performance?"

Qin Xiang suddenly realized why Qin Baotian suddenly said this.

It's not that he wants to watch it himself, but he wants to perform, and he wants them to go and watch his performance.

Qin Xiang looked at Qin Juan, "Let's take Nian Nian to the Labor Square to watch the performance tomorrow?"

"Okay, it happens that Nian Nian likes the hustle and bustle." Qin Juan also agreed.

Qin Baotian chuckled, a little embarrassed, "You can go when you are free, if not, forget it."

Qin Xiang smiled, "When you are free."

Meng Huaiqing also responded, "I'll go and see too."

Qin Baotian's feelings for Meng Huaiqing were very complicated and entangled before, this is the first time that he likes Meng Huaiqing so much. He is

really a discerning person, not worthy of being a boss, at least he can see his father-in-law's mind clearly.

Qin Xiang did not miss the change in Qin Baotian's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing when he looked at Meng Huaiqing.

Meng Huaiqing curled the corners of his lips, pretending to be puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Qin Xiang shook her head, "Nothing, I just think you're a bitch."

This word made Meng Huaiqing frown, "How can this be considered a bitch, isn't it the awareness that one should have when dealing with people?"

Qin Xiang did not comment, "Okay, you are handsome and you are right."

Meng Huaiqing did not argue with her, and asked her again, "Did you take them out for a walk during the five-day holiday?"

There was a little grievance in her tone.

Qin Xiang thought about it and seemed to have ignored him a little, so she coughed, "Little Nian Nian, she must have a rest in the middle, let's go out for a walk then?"

"Oh, I'm actually behind Nian Nian." Meng Huaiqing sighed.

Qin Xiang smiled, "Otherwise, you should be thankful that we don't have children, otherwise you would have to wait in the back."

Meng Huaiqing also laughed, "It seems that you can't have children."

Qin Juan, who was standing next to them, had cold sweat on her forehead when she heard the two chatting. She whispered to Qin Xiang, "Just accompany us for a day, and let Dad take us around later. There are only a few famous attractions, and Dad knows them all. It's okay. You and Mr. Meng finally get together, go out and play together."

Qin Xiang hesitated, and suddenly she thought of a good idea, she could ask her roommate to be a guide.

But then she thought it wouldn't work, because they wanted to get to know more people and bring them to her store.

Qin Xiang said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Meng Huaiqing said, "You can let Miao Sheng take them around. He is already very familiar with the capital."

Qin Xiang clapped his hands, "Good idea, but I need to pay him a commission."

Although Miao Sheng is Meng Huaiqing's driver and assistant, it's okay for him to do things for her occasionally, but it's not good to let him take her sister out for a few days for nothing. The best way is to buy favors with money.

Meng Huaiqing originally wanted to say no, but thinking of Qin Xiang's personality, he didn't refuse, "It's up to you, it's all right."

That was settled, but Qin Juan felt that it was a bit of a bother for others.

Qin Xiang said, "It's okay, I'll pay him."

Qin Juan really wanted to take Nian Nian out for a good time, otherwise it would be cold in a few days and she wouldn't be able to play, and she would open a store by then, so it would be inconvenient for her to go out.

Things were settled, and the sky gradually brightened.

When the time came, they saw that the middle avenue was blocked at both ends, and vehicles could no longer pass. Then there was the sound of shouting.

Qin Juan hurriedly poked Nian Nian, "Nian Nian, it's started, wake up."

Nian Nian opened her eyes and asked excitedly, "Where?"

Everyone looked in that direction and saw the mighty and handsome soldiers walking towards them in neat steps.

Not to mention Qin Xiang and the others, even Nian Nian held her breath and watched this scene nervously.

The originally noisy environment around suddenly pressed the pause button, and there was silence, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

This scene will be deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present, even the younger Qin Nian will remember this scene forever.

After the national flag was raised and the crowd dispersed, Qin Nian still watched the soldiers leave.

Later, she saw the soldiers patrolling the square and said, "I want to be a soldier in the future."

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Okay."

It was getting late, and Qin Xiang took them to have breakfast in the old capital. Looking at the shabby alleys, the mutton soup restaurant and the breakfast shop were already open for business and very busy. The people eating included local old capital people, guests from other places, and some foreigners who spoke foreign languages ​​and gestured. It

was very lively and full of fireworks.

Qin Juan herself was in the food business, and when she arrived at the stall, she couldn't help but look here and there.

The shop owner introduced his breakfast in the unique accent of the capital, and recommended the capital's attractions and fun places to outsiders.

Qin Juan listened and learned. She understood a lot of truths this year.

She knew that men were unreliable, and it was better to rely on herself than on anyone else. She

also knew that it was not enough to have skills to do business, and you had to learn to communicate with people.

After breakfast, Qin Nian patted her belly and said, "I'm full."

Qin Xiang picked her up and said, "Let's go play after we're full."

Today is the first day of the holiday, and there are many people everywhere.

Qin Xiang took them directly to the amusement park.

The amusement park is a paradise for children.

At first, Nian Nian was a little scared, but after Qin Xiang took her to play a few times, she slowly let go of her courage and dared to play by herself.

There were some attractions that Qin Xiang didn't dare to go to, and in the end it was Qin Baotian who took her to play.

While they were playing, Qin Xiang, Meng Huaiqing and Qin Juan were watching from below, feeling the children's excitement and joy.

Meng Huaiqing said, "Do you want to play?"

Qin Xiang shook her head, "Although I haven't played, I don't want to play."

She was no longer at that age.

Meng Huaiqing hummed and said, "When I was a child, I also wanted to play, but they only cared about whether their children were happy or not, and what projects their children wanted to play. As for me, they even forgot where I was, and in the end it was the bodyguards who took me over."

Qin Xiang felt bad, "Then do you want to play? I can be your mother for a day and take you to play." She

couldn't help laughing after she said that.

Meng Huaiqing said, "You are really good at taking advantage of me openly."

Qin Xiang acted shamelessly, "Just tell me if it's okay or not. I'm not kind enough. Don't be ignorant of good people."

"How dare you say you are kind?" Meng Huaiqing smiled, but didn't mind. He shook his head and said, "I am no longer old enough to like these things."

In the process of growing up, maybe one day he would especially hope that someone would take him to an amusement park and play all the things in the amusement park.

But later he knew that those were all extravagant hopes.

It didn't matter whether he played or not.

Now even if he had someone he liked, he didn't have the heart to do that.

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's just a game for children. We adults have our own games, which are more interesting than these."

Meng Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, "For example?"

"For example, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping." Qin Xiang didn't follow what he said.

Qin Baotian brought Nian Nian back. Nian Nian's face was rosy and she looked very happy, but the little girl was used to being silent. She would not say anything even if she was happy. Her eyes were sparkling and looked very pretty.

Qin Xiang asked her, "Is Nian Nian happy?"

Nian Nian nodded quickly, "Happy."

"Let's go and continue playing." So Qin Baotian carried Nian Nian to play again.

It was thanks to Qin Baotian's previous physical work that he had better physical strength, otherwise it would be really tiring to play with him.

At noon, several people went to Quanjude to eat roast duck and drink delicious duck rack soup, and then went back to rest.

It was really too early to get up, and I couldn't even close my eyes.

Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing went back to sleep. When they woke up, it was dark. Meng Huaiqing's chef was preparing dinner. Qin Xiang sent Meng Huaiqing to call Qin Juan and others to come for dinner.

Meng Huaiqing said, "Aren't you going with me?"

Qin Xiang shook her head, "No, I still have to draw the design draft. This time I plan to get some fabrics and make one myself to try."

In fact, many designers will do this step, but not all designs are made by themselves.

Meng Huaiqing sighed and went out. Qin Xiang smiled and went to the kitchen first.

Design is something that will never be too little, and with the progress of the times, design must also keep up with the development of the times, and the update is too fast.

Qin Xiang forgot the time when he was busy, until there was a knock on the door outside, Qin Xiang put the things down and came out.

Dinner was ready, and a lot of seafood was on the table.

Swimming crabs, shrimps, conchs, octopus, squid, and a large pot of fish stewed with tofu. Qin Xiang scooped a mouthful of soup and drank it, his eyes narrowed. "What kind of fish is this?"

Meng Huaiqing said, "Angkeng fish."

"Angkeng fish?" Qin Xiang had actually seen this fish in person. It didn't match the name at all, but it looked extremely ugly. He didn't expect it to taste so good when cooked.

Qin Xiang nodded, "It's delicious."

Meng Huaiqing smiled, "This fish is not rare, but it is especially good when stewed with tofu. The meat is also chewy and tastes very good."

Qin Baotian came in and took a breath, and said with a pained heart, "These things are not cheap, right?"

Qin Xiang smiled, "Why do you care about these small amounts of money? You can eat them after they are cooked. If you don't eat them, we have to eat them ourselves."

Now is the season to eat swimming crabs and other seafood. Qin Xiang was already greedy and couldn't go to the beach. Unexpectedly, Meng Huaiqing directly transported everything from a long distance. The transportation at that time was not like the full cold chain transportation in later generations. It was still so fresh after being transported. It was obviously just caught today and sent over with ice cubes.

It was expensive and fresh, and it was impossible for an ordinary family to eat it.

Fortunately, Qin Baotian had also eaten several big banquets with Qin Xiang, and he was no longer entangled. He just regarded it as a banquet at the lady's house, "Well, it's good."

Qin Juan was also amazed. This big boss was generous. This table of food was estimated to cost their family a month's food expenses.

The biggest advantage of the Qin family is that they don't make a fuss. Just follow them and eat.

As for Mi Hongjun, not only did he come by himself, but he also brought Hao Jingjing.

Although the two have not yet reached the time to talk about marriage, they have been dating and their relationship is good and stable.

Hao Jingjing looks a little more mature, with a womanizing style. Looking at Mi Hongjun, he looks no different from before, which makes Qin Xiang anxious.

But Hao Jingjing seems to like Mi Hongjun this type. It can only be said that different people have different preferences.

As a media person, Hao Jingjing naturally knew a lot of gossip, so she was not afraid of having nothing to talk about at the dinner table. If there was no child at the table who could not say some things, there would be all kinds of gossip.

Even so, the gossip she said was enough to shock everyone.

There were many dishes on the table, many of which were seafood that children could not eat. It happened that Meng Huaiqing had a bad stomach and could not eat either, so the big and the small caught the monkfish stewed with tofu and ate it.

Not to mention, the meat was chewy and the taste was really delicious.

Of course, Qin Xiang, who had an iron stomach, was also powerless against seafood, and ate it with great joy.

After dinner, Qin Baotian took Qin Juan and her daughter back to rest. It was rare for Hao Jingjing to meet Qin Xiang, and she ignored Mi Hongjun's persuasion and just refused to leave, pulling Qin Xiang to talk about gossip.

When Qin Xiang saw this, she knew that Hao Jingjing had some fresh gossip, so she pulled her into the yard to talk it out.

Hao Jingjing said, "Let me tell you, I do have some shitty connection with the Wang family."

Qin Xiang didn't want to listen when she heard it was about Wang Junsheng's family, but Hao Jingjing really wanted to say, "It's about Cui Hong and Wang Junsheng. I saw Cui Hong go into a restaurant with a fat man in his forties."

"You definitely don't know something even more outrageous."

Qin Xiang said helplessly, "Go on."

In fact, Qin Xiang was not surprised at this kind of thing. In her previous life, Cui Hong could secretly hook up with rich men outside without Wang Qingshan's knowledge in order to live a good life, and she could even change several of them. Although she married Wang Junsheng in this life, Wang Junsheng is not the richest man now, and Cui Hong must be dissatisfied with her current life, so it is not surprising that she would find a rich man in exchange for a good life.

Hao Jingjing said, "Not long after Cui Hong entered the restaurant with the rich man, Wang Junsheng also entered the same restaurant with a woman."

Qin Xiang: "..."

That's amazing.

"There's more." Hao Jingjing was excited, "There's something even more exciting."

Qin Xiang: It's really amazing.
