Wen Qiuning's face was expressionless. "Mom, Yu Xiangyang doesn't like me either. Don't ever have such thoughts again."
Wen Qin continued, unwilling to give up: "He sent so much fruit from so far away. Even if he doesn't like you, it means he is thinking about you. You two are both single..."
"Mom!" Wen Qiuning interrupted her, her eyes cold. "To us, these fruits are something we've never tasted or seen before, and they're very precious. But to Xiangyang, they're like a piece of cabbage or a scallion given to each other by neighbors. They're nothing!"
Wen Qin pursed her lips and said in a compromising manner: "Yes, yes, it's nothing. Don't be angry."
Wen Qiuning: “…”
She seemed a little angry.
She doesn't need anyone's so-called love, nor does she need anyone's sympathy or pity.
Wen Qin added: "I was just thinking that he has given us so many things, should we give him something?"
Wen Qiuning said self-deprecatingly in her heart that the best thing they could give was not as good as a cabbage in the eyes of others.
She said calmly, "No need."
In fact, on the day they parted, Wen Qiuning looked at Yu Xiangyang rubbing his frozen hands and had a momentary thought of buying him a pair of gloves.
But now, she doesn't want to give anything.
Wen Qin looked at Wen Qiuning's cold expression and said nothing more, feeling more guilty.
She is the one who is sorry for her daughter!
On the 28th day of the lunar calendar, the bookstore was closed.
In the afternoon, Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo came to Wen Qin with some things to wish her a happy new year.
In order to prevent Wen Qin from giving the two children New Year's money, they deliberately did not bring An An and Ke Ke.
They brought the dried seafood sent by Zhao Ruozhu from Nancheng, as well as the smoked meat, sausages, and fruits prepared by Lin Yunyi.
When they arrived home, Wen Qiuning was reading a book and Wen Qin was picking vegetables to prepare dinner.
The box of fruit was placed in a corner of the living room, and the two noticed it as soon as they entered the room.
With a box this big, it's hard not to notice.
Wen Qiuning asked them to sit down, "Where are An An and Ke Ke?"
She really missed those two after not seeing them for a while.
Yu Xiangnian said, "It's too cold outside, I didn't bring it."
Wen Qin took out some fruits from the box to treat them. "These fruits were sent by Yu Xiangyang. He is so thoughtful."
Even without saying it, Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo knew it.
Who would buy so much fruit at one time?
Besides, you can’t buy green dates in Beijing.
They didn't chat for long before Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian stood up and prepared to leave.
Wen Qin couldn't help but stuff two red envelopes into her pockets, one for An An and one for Ke Ke.
She had secretly prepared this in her bedroom while they were chatting.
It’s not much, just one dollar in each red envelope, for good luck during the New Year.
The mother and daughter sent them downstairs. Wen Qiuning watched Cheng Jingmo put on gloves and thought that the gloves were very good.
As soon as they rode a short distance, Yu Xiangnian couldn't wait to ask, "Cheng Jingmo, does Yu Xiangyang like Wen Qiuning?"
Cheng Jingmo had promised to keep Yu Xiangyang's secret, so he said calmly, "I don't know."
Yu Xiangnian scratched his waist through his clothes, "You really don't know?"
"I really don't know." Cheng Jingmo said in a voice as steady as an old dog, "Cover your hands, it's cold outside."
Yu Xiangnian said, "Wen Qiuning isn't that easy to pursue. Tell Yu Xiangyang to take it easy and not scare her away."
Cheng Jingmo said: "I can't say, I don't know anything about him."
Yu Xiangnian added, "We need to take our time with Wen Qiuning, getting closer to her little by little. This will help temper Yu Xiangyang's temper."
Cheng Jingmo: "I don't know."
"Hahaha..." Yu Xiangnian couldn't help laughing while sitting in the back seat, "I know you don't know."
Cheng Jingmo was also laughing secretly in front.
In the blink of an eye, it is New Year’s Eve.
Wen Qin and Wen Qiuning worked all afternoon to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Compared with previous years, this year's New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous one, and fish is a rare item on the table.
Although the New Year’s Eve dinner was sumptuous, the atmosphere was still as cold as in previous years.
The sound of firecrackers outside, as well as the laughter of neighbors and the noise of children next door, formed a sharp contrast with the scene of the two people eating in silence.
After dinner and cleaning up, the mother and daughter gathered around the stove, one reading a book while the other sewed shoe soles.
The sounds of "biu, biu, bang, bang..." were heard.
"Ningning, look, someone is setting off fireworks!" Wen Qin said as she watched the fireworks rising outside the window. "They're so beautiful!"
Wen Qiuning also looked out the window. Colorful fireworks were blooming in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
Her thoughts drifted away with the blooming fireworks.
The scene in my mind was Yu Xiangyang setting off fireworks with a few children.
Yu Xiangyang's hair was so short that you could see his scalp, revealing his handsome features. He held An An in his arms, and An An was afraid but also wanted to play with the fireworks.
The moment the fireworks bloomed in the sky, everyone's smiles were brighter than the fireworks.
That was the most lively New Year she had ever experienced, and the one closest to fireworks.
The fireworks outside the window had stopped, but Wen Qiuning was still staring out the window stupidly.
"Ningning!"
Wen Qin's voice brought Wen Qiuning back to his senses.
"You're staring at me!" Wen Qin chuckled. "So many fireworks, they look pretty, but I wonder how much money they'll cost!"
Wen Qiuning replied: "Yeah."
No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, they are only fleeting. She can just watch the beauty from afar. Why should she get close to them?
Yu Xiangyang was setting off a few fireworks with Duoduo and Guangming outside the yard. These fireworks were secretly bought by Duoduo and Guangming.
The Yu family does not allow fireworks to be set off. Yu Jiashun says that this is a capitalist practice. Families usually just set off a string of firecrackers as a token of their respect.
Yu Jiashun was out visiting relatives and friends today, and usually wouldn't return home until the second half of the night, so a few people dared to go out secretly.
"Uncle San, please stop setting off fireworks!" Duoduo said dissatisfiedly, "You've set off all the fireworks!"
Yu Xiangyang lit another firework, "Uncle San will set off a few fireworks for you, why are you so stingy!"
"If you want to put it on, why don't you buy it yourself?" Duoduo said.
Yu Xiangyang said confidently, "You have New Year's money, but Uncle San doesn't!"
Guangming said, "Uncle San, I'll give you some of my New Year's money."
Yu Xiangyang: "...Uncle San, don't do that!" Although he was very tempted, he couldn't do that.
How come his life is worse than two kids'?!
After setting off these fireworks, the three of them went into the house with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.
The whole family sat in the living room eating melon seeds, chatting and staying up late to celebrate the New Year.
The four members of his eldest and second brothers' families sat together, but he was the only one sitting alone on a sofa.
I wonder what Wen Qiuning is doing now? He should have received the fruit!
Thinking of Wen Qiuning, he was shocked!
Then I secretly told myself that she didn’t know anyway, so I could think whatever I wanted!
Cheng Jingmo said that he liked her.
If so, when did he fall in love with her?
