C13 Chinese New Year

By the end of the performance, it was already the morning of the second day. Qin Fengge was currently extremely tired. She returned to her uncle's house and fell asleep very quickly. She slept until the evening of the same day.

The next day, Qin Fengge still went to the Zither Department on time. Since Zhou Datong had gone with Gu Ge to learn to play the drum, Yu Guannan was able to give Qin Fengge a private tutorial. Just as he pushed open the doors to the music shop, Qin Fengge saw Yu Guannan arguing with a woman about something.

"Brother Yu, this must be sister-in-law. Hello sister-in-law!" Qin Fengge stepped forward and warmly greeted him.

This woman was Fei Xiaoman, Yu Guannan's wife. She smiled at Qin Fengge and said, "I've been listening to Old Yu's nagging for the past few days, saying that it must be you who has accepted a talented disciple."

"What talent and intelligence? Brother Yu is exaggerating too much." My name is Qin Fengge, you can just call me Little Qin. " Qin Fengge scratched her head in embarrassment, but at this moment, she was overjoyed.

Yu Guannan said to Fei Xiaoman, "Let's eat lunch together. After lunch, I'll accompany you to the shopping mall."

"What are you eating for!" "It'll be too late by the time we finish dinner!" Fei Xiaoman complained angrily.

"Why are you in such a hurry, sister-in-law? Do you need my help?"

Yu Guannan waved his hand. "It's none of your business. Go play the zither on the side."

Fei Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Yu Guannan. "There's a sale going on at the mall. I'd like to go and buy some clothes for sale." Then she rolled her eyes at Yu Guannan, "Your brother Yu didn't bring me along and even said I spent money blindly. Little Qin, why don't you discuss it for sister-in-law? Do you think it's a waste for sister-in-law to buy a few sets of clothes?

"This …" He looked at the couple and thought that he couldn't afford to offend either of them. He could only helplessly say, "Actually, buying clothes is not a reckless act, but if you want me to say, I don't want to buy clothes that are discounted."

Fei Xiaoman frowned, as if he was unhappy. Qin Fengge glanced at Yu Guannan. Yu Guannan seemed to be very satisfied as he nodded to indicate that he should continue.

Qin Fengge pulled Fei Xiaoman to the side and whispered, "Actually, I'm thinking for my sister-in-law. I heard that the clothes that are discounted are outdated or defective. Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful, how can you wear outdated or defective clothes? If you want me to say, why not wait a little longer until the new clothes are released this spring? Beautiful girls should wear new clothes, while those old and defective clothes should only be worn by those plain looking women with yellow faces! "

When Fei Xiaoman heard this, he could not help but burst into laughter: "You are really poor, but every word you say is in my heart! "Alright, I'll listen to you today, sister-in-law. I won't buy clothes today!"

Finished speaking, Fei Xiaoman happily sat in a nearby chair to read a book.

Yu Guannan was very satisfied with this result. He pulled Qin Fengge over and asked, "What did you say to her just now that caused her to give up on the idea of buying clothes even though she wasn't angry?"

Qin Fengge thought: If I tell the truth right now, you will scold me until I die. And a few months after the new clothes went on the market, he had already gone back to Jingzhou, even if he scolded me ten thousand times, I wouldn't be able to hear it.

Thinking of this, Qin Fengge gave a faint smile and said with a mysterious tone, "Heaven is not to be revealed …"

The days passed quickly, and when the Spring Festival approached, Qin and Tuesday realized that they had left home for more than half a month.

Zhou Datong happily drank a bottle of white wine on New Year's Eve. Because it was Valentine's Day the day before New Year's Eve, he made a very long phone call with Nannan in Wuhan. And it was on this day that Ran Jiannan finally couldn't bear Zhou Da Tong's continuous bombardment of sweet words and surrendered!

On New Year's Eve, Wuhan City was brightly lit. Everyone was immersed in a festive and auspicious atmosphere. Qin Fengge sat at the dining table in her uncle's house as she celebrated her first Spring Festival in a foreign land.

"The Wuhan New Year's Eve Feast is about" "three full" "three pills" and "" three high "." Sanquan refers to the whole chicken, the whole duck, the whole fish; the "three pills" refers to the fish balls, meat balls, lotus root pills; and the "three high" refers to the fish cake, meat cake and year cake. There were so many rules for a New Year's dinner. It could be seen that Wuhan was indeed a country of delicious food.

Although Qi Jun didn't stay in Wuhan for long, he still organized the New Year's Eve dinner according to local customs. Since only four people were participating in the dinner, there was no need to prepare so many dishes. Four or five of them would suffice.

At the dinner table, Qin Fengge and Qi Jun were chatting while Qi Xuena silently watched the TV. Zhang Lin was busy in the kitchen, working in an orderly manner.

"The fish is here!" With Zhang Lin bringing the last plate of Red Braised Wuchang Fish to the table, the New Year's Eve meal was ready. Everyone sat down at the dining table and raised their cups as they spoke words of blessings.

Just then, Qi XueNa put her chopsticks on Wuchang Fish's plate and said, "Wow! Red Braised Wuchang Fish! I haven't eaten this dish in a long time! "

Qi Jun rapped the back of her hand with his chopsticks, causing her to pull her hand back in fright. Why did you hit me? "

Qi Jun said, "They don't know the rules. This fish can't be eaten until the new year. It means that it's already more than a year old."

Qin Fengge found it funny. She thought to herself, "A plate of fish on the table is already more than a year old. If I were to put in a plate of fermented rice, wouldn't it mean that the days would get worse?" As inexpensive as it was, Qin Fengge did not raise any objections at the dining table.

"Feudal superstition!" Qi Xuena mumbled in a low voice and shifted her focus to the fish balls beside her.

After the meal, Qi Xuena went over to Qin Fengge with ill intentions. She grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "Cousin, please play a song for me."

Qin Fengge looked at her own aunt and uncle, who looked equally expectant. She decided that she might as well obey his orders and take out the practice guqin from her study. After tuning the zither, he apologetically said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm only learning for the first time. I have to watch the zither music. Everyone, listen carefully. Haha." After saying that, he pulled out the zither music book that he had hidden on his body a long time ago and started playing a few of the simpler and more popular songs.

After playing a few songs, he suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside the window. It must have been close to midnight. Zhang Lin turned on the television and waited for the broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala.

"5-4-3-2--Happy New Year!

"Happy New Year!" Qi Jun and Zhang Lin took out the prepared red packets. When they saw the red packets, their eyes lit up with excitement!

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" As Qin Fengge opened the red packet, she frowned. Five 100-yuan bills were originally lying inside, but during past festivals, the largest red packet that Qin Fengge had received was only 50 yuan.

"Aunty, Uncle, you're giving too much money, I can't accept it. Living here for free has already given you a lot of trouble, how can I ask for your money?" Qin Fengge pushed the red packet back.

Zhang Lin smiled gently and said, "Take it. This is a token of our goodwill as elders. Besides, this is also a New Year tradition!"

"But there's too much money. I can't use that much money."

Qi Jun's face fell, and intentionally said snappily, "If I tell you to take it, then take it! Why are you spouting so much nonsense!?" We won't tell your mother, and after all, don't you need money to buy a zither? "

"But I already have the money to buy the zither …"

"Then add this money and buy a better one. Alright, don't be so girly, you don't look like a man at all!"

Qin Fengge could only accept the money and deeply bowed to the two before saying in a clear voice, "I wish uncle and aunt a happy new year and good luck!"

"That's more like it! "Hahaha …" Qi Jun laughed heartily.

Although Wuhan was a city that forbade fireworks, it was not a small number of firecrackers every year. It was only through the firecrackers that people could feel the New Year atmosphere.

"I wonder what my parents are doing right now?" Looking at the sounds of firecrackers outside and hearing the sounds of firecrackers outside, Qin Fengge couldn't help but think of her parents back in Jing Prefecture …
