"Mom, where have you been?" Zhiyuan hurried over to carry something for Lin Qingping, "Today is New Year's Eve!"
"Yeah." Lin Qingping touched his head. "I came back to cook. Who's in there?"
Lin Qingping was startled again and almost fell to the ground.
"It's me!" Liang Jiaqi poked his head out from the kitchen.
Lin Qingping held her pounding heart and was speechless for a long time.
"Aren't you welcome, Lin Qingping?" Liang Jiaqi looked pitiful. "I'm spending the New Year alone, and I'm here with my own cooking skills. Can't you take me in? I'll be back after the New Year's Eve dinner."
Lin Qingping recovered and said, "That's not necessary. Just stay at home."
Zhiyuan happened to see what she bought and asked her, "Mom, what did you buy?"
"Vegetarian cakes, for worshipping Buddha." Lin Qingping said, and continued, "It just so happens that I am going to burn the first incense. If I really want to be the first to burn incense, I will have to line up in the middle of the night. Liang Jiaqi, you can just rest at home and accompany Zhiyuan."
Zhiyuan was shocked. "Why are you the first to burn incense? Mom, we have been in the capital for so many years, and I have never seen you go there!"
Lin Qingping put the vegetarian cake away and whispered, "Go and pray for peace."
"Then..." Zhiyuan didn't understand anyway. Even if he wanted to be safe, why did he have to go in the middle of the night? He frowned, "Can't we go during the day?"
Lin Qingping put all the incense, fruits and other things into the basket and covered it with a layer of cloth. "Of course... the more sincere your heart, the better."
Zhiyuan couldn't understand what his mother was saying.
However, Lin Qingping's first incense stick was not burned this time.
In the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready and served. Liang Jiaqi brought a bottle of wine with him and wanted to drink it, but Lin Qingping had to go burn incense, so she didn't drink it. She just prepared to take the bowl and said, "I'll toast with you with the meal."
Zhiyuan’s is still a cup of Arctic Ocean.
But, strangely, the moment Lin Qingping picked up the bowl, her hand slipped, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. At the same time, Zhiyuan's hands were also empty, and the moment he picked up the cup, the cup slipped from his hand and also shattered into pieces, spilling the drink all over the floor.
Lin Qingping and Zhiyuan were both stunned for a moment, looking at their empty hands, at a loss as to what to do.
Liang Jiaqi quickly smiled and said, "I hope everything is fine, I hope everything is fine!"
Lin Qingping gradually calmed down and nodded, "Yes, everything is fine."
But Zhiyuan knew that his mother was very anxious.
From the moment they had dinner, his mother kept checking the time, even though he had said more than once, "Mom, it's still early, it's not dark yet, it's still light!"
But it was no use, his mother still kept looking.
With such anxiety, he finally made it to around nine o'clock in the evening. The Spring Festival Gala on TV was very lively. Lin Qingping could no longer sit still and stood up with the basket, "I won't wait any longer. Let's go now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, a loud, urgent and close knock.
