Yanluo gave all the New Year's money she received from her elders to Chi Miaomiao. Chi Miaomiao was very good at managing money, as evidenced by the fact that she could easily take out tens of millions to buy Yanluo's home in Guangzhou.
Most of Yan Luo's salary after his return was kept by Chi Miaomiao, and he only kept a portion for the children to give as pocket money.
The kitchen at home hadn't been used for many years, so Chu Hang carried the groceries in one hand and held Qin Jinyang's hand in the other, following his grandfather to the neighbor's house to cook dinner.
As a chef no less excellent than his father, Mr. Chu returned to his own yard to prepare the fish he had bought from the market after handing out red envelopes to the children. When he saw his father, son, and daughter-in-law walk in, Mr. Chu smiled and said to Qin Jinyang, "Xiao Yang, why don't you go chat with Chu Chu and the others?"
Qin Jinyang shook her head and replied, "It's okay, Uncle. I want to see Ahang and Grandpa cook."
Mr. Chu smiled.
"You're a lot like his mother. When you were young, you also liked to watch your grandfather and me cook. You should eat more of what you cook, okay? I know you usually pay attention to your figure, but you also need to make sure you get enough nutrition. Having a healthy body is the most important thing."
Qin Jinyang nodded obediently and squatted down next to Chu's father to watch how he processed the fish.
Seeing how well his girlfriend and father got along, Chu Hang couldn't help but recall the scene when the two sisters first arrived home yesterday.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Jinyang took her sister by plane from Beijing to Lancheng early in the morning. They bought a lot of tonics and gifts and went straight to Chu Hang's house.
Compared to her older sister's outgoing personality, Qin Jinyang was more shy. She froze as soon as she stepped into Chu Hang's yard, her face turning red with embarrassment, unsure of what to do.
Qin Jinwen was glad she had come along so she could meet her best friend's disciple; otherwise, she didn't know how long her silly sister would have been out of commission.
We greeted Chu Hang and his family warmly, and naturally, we started chatting.
Hearing the commotion next door, Xuan Yuanqiongxia brought her daughter and son-in-law over to find out what was going on. It turned out that Chu Hang's girlfriend and her sister had come.
With Zhang Chuchu and her sister around, Qin Jinyang finally felt less nervous. Unlike her poised and confident demeanor on screen, she was somewhat at a loss when facing her boyfriend's elders, but the highly adaptable Qin Jinyang quickly adjusted.
He had a great time chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Chu, and even made the old man Chu Ying laugh non-stop. Chu Ying's eyes were full of satisfaction. All three of his grandsons had girlfriends, so how far away could marriage be? He just didn't know if his old bones could hold out until then.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Chu Ying took it all in stride.
Mr. Chu processed the fish very quickly. Before Qin Jinyang could react, he said "It's done," leaving Qin Jinyang, who rarely cooked, stunned.
Mr. Chu smiled, picked up the iron basin containing the fish, and stood up. "Xiao Yang, could you please take the fish to that brat? I'm going to chat with Xiao Luo."
Qin Jinyang obediently took the iron basin and then walked towards the kitchen. The Chu family's kitchen was very large, after all, the three men in the family were all good cooks, and a larger kitchen would make it easier for them to cook.
Chu Hang was chopping vegetables with a sharp knife, and Qin Jinyang was captivated by his serious expression and the dazzling flashes of his knife. Because she wasn't very good at cooking, she fell in love with a boy who was a great cook.
This boy is well-mannered, knows how to respect women, is kind, has a humorous and witty manner, comes from a good family, and is tall and has a good physique. Most importantly, he loves himself very much.
Qin Jinyang placed the iron basin on the table, moved closer to Chu Hang, and watched him chop vegetables, lost in thought. Qin Jinyang looked beautiful today; her hair was tied in a bun, she wore light makeup, a white sweatshirt, and a black pleated skirt. Her sweet and charming image deeply impressed Chu Hang.
Chu Hang couldn't understand what it was about him that attracted Qin Jinyang. To this day, he still felt it was somewhat surreal—that a star on screen would fall in love with an ordinary boy like him.
Cooking is not exactly a strength of Chu Hang.
But as Yanluo said before, everyone has their own strengths, and Chu Hang naturally has his own unique charm that attracted Qin Jinyang.
Even the most ordinary person has admirable qualities, such as kindness.
Chu Ying, leaning on his cane with one hand and holding a spatula in the other, stirred the vegetables in the pot. He had just heard that the children hadn't had lunch yet, and as their grandfather, he had to show off his skills. He would let his son and grandson cook for themselves in the evening.
After a hearty lunch, Su Qing and Zhang Chuchu took on the task of cleaning up the kitchen. Chu Ying initially disagreed, arguing that it was better for men to do the work than for women. However, Zhang Chuchu persuaded Chu Ying by saying that it was for digestion after the meal.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Lancheng is quite lively. Many friends from other places have come to Lancheng to watch the Yingge Dance performance. Yanluo, who hasn't seen it for several years, brought her children to join in the fun.
Changqing Village also has its own Yingge Dance Troupe, which performs in the village during the Lantern Festival. The Yingge Dance Troupe that is now joining in the fun is the most outstanding troupe in the entire Lancheng, and they even made it onto this year's Longtai Spring Festival Gala.
Lancheng Yingge has become quite famous, having contributed to promoting the traditional culture of Longxia.
However, the stage is just that—the stage. The stage cannot fully capture the grandeur of the Yi An Yingge Dance. The awe-inspiring sound of gongs and drums, the shouts of each dancer, and the magnificent procession are what truly showcase the grandeur of the Yi An Yingge Dance.
Following the group, Tu Yi'er sat on Yan Luo's shoulders, watching the impressive performance. A sense of pride welled up inside her, a cultural pride that was ingrained in the bones of every Longxia person.
Yanluo thought that if she hadn't left the village with her master, she would have joined the Yingge dance troupe in Changqing Village as a member of the younger generation to learn Yingge dance performance. After all, many children hoped that she could join the troupe.
During winter and summer vacations, young children who join the Yingge dance troupe learn the Yingge dance from the older generation. It's super fun! Everyone dances to the beat of the drum, swings their mallets, and lets out a loud shout at the right time of the drumbeat, completing one movement after another with their brothers.
Everyone will give their all to present the best side of the Yingge Dance to the audience.
The agile figures, the awe-inspiring drumbeats, the loud and surging shouts, and the perfectly synchronized movements are all deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
Tu Yier picked up her phone, opened the camera, and took a picture of the singers and dancers. The little girl had her own phone; she was more mature and self-controlled than other children her age, though it was a bit difficult for her little hands to hold the phone.
Therefore, Tu Yier usually doesn't take out her phone much. Watching short videos is not as interesting as reading books. Tu Yier knows what kind of knowledge she wants to gain from books, and she is always very happy to read.
Tu Yier possesses a composure and maturity beyond her years, and Tu Xing sees a reflection of Tu Yi when he was young in her.
