My Wife is From a Thousand Years Ago

  Chapter 108 New Year's Eve

  The end of the month is poor, and the old and the new are welcome, which is called New Year’s Eve.

   After a short break, Zhou Suzhi began to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner. Jiang He moved quickly and followed her into the kitchen, intending to secretly learn two cooking skills.

  This is much more advanced than learning martial arts stealthily. Martial arts is to feed your stomach, and cooking is to eat happily after you are full.

"so good."

  Xu Qing sighed.

  He did not move the passion fruit after he cut a few, and kept it for Xu Wenbin's old couple to soak in water or juice.

   is too sour to eat directly.

  "Every day, I don’t know a helper!"

  Xu Wenbin leaned comfortably on the sofa to watch TV, and scolded Xu Qing for the same behavior.

   "I haven't gone yet."

   Xu Qing got up and went to the kitchen. When he entered the door, he saw a pig's head on the kitchen floor. It seemed that Xu Wenbin had brought it back on a small electric donkey. Zhou Suzhi couldn't handle it, so the two of them knew how to get it.

   "Mom will leave me some small dishes that can be shaved, and I will take Uncle Qin's house later in the evening."

   "Wait for you to bring a pig's head and get some more... I'll see what to get."

  Zhou Suzhi sorted out a bunch of dishes in the kitchen. This year, she added a person to the New Year. There were more dishes than usual to show the importance and welcome of the couple.

  If you don’t welcome it, you can’t help it. I woke up together every day...

   Zhou Suzhi even felt that if Xu Qing suddenly came over and said that she was going to be a grandmother, she would not be too surprised.

  Xu Qing carried the gas tank and prepared to go to the balcony to burn the pig’s head. Seeing Zhou Suzhi's look in her eyes was a little strange, she couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing?"

   "What to do, hurry up and go."

The three people gathered up, and when the firecrackers rang out, most of the dishes on the table were gathered, a large pot of beef stew with potatoes, a few plates of small stir-fry, plus cold dressing and bacon, the chicken and duck platter, needless to say, there should be something Both.

  Xu Wenbin, who didn't participate much in his work, offered two bottles of wine, one red and the other white, and put them on the table after opening them, adding a sense of ritual to the New Year’s Eve dinner.

   "One year has passed."

  When everything is ready, four people are seated, Xu Wenbin, the head of the family, speaks first, and look at the other three people.

  "This year is a bit different, Xu Qing, you are also an adult..."

  Xu Wenbin paused, and forgot the words he thought of, and waved his hands altogether, “Years are getting better every year. Come on next year.”

   "Come on."

  Xu Qingying made a sound, Jiang Heduan sat on the chair, participating throughout the process, she didn't feel the sense of dissociation when she came for the first time, pursing her lips and watching the scene before her.

  The room is noisy, the TV shows shows, the table is busy for half an afternoon with sumptuous dishes, and firecrackers sound from time to time outside. A family of three joins her, and four of them welcome the New Year together.

   "She doesn't know how to drink, just a little bit."

  Seeing Zhou Suzhi pour the wine, Xu Qing hurriedly took over and poured it on the father and son. Zhou Suzhi picked up the red wine again. Hearing that Xu Qing did not pour too much, he stopped after only half a cup.

  The two are white, Zhou Suzhi and Jiang He are both red.

  Feeling Xu Qing touching his little hand under the table, Jiang He recovered. He held him backhand in a ghostly manner, and then raised his eyes to see Xu Qing's motion of toasting and freezing.

  She reacted for a moment, let go of Xu Qing's hand, picked up the red wine in front of her, and toasted with them.

   "Eat food, eat food, this is a busy afternoon, just waiting for now..."

  Reflecting the sound of firecrackers outside, Jiang He pretended not to see Xu Qing's eyes, trying to respond to Zhou Suzhi's words.

  The two of them took the white wine and sipped them, and the four of them ate a good meal.

  The relatively introverted words that Xu Qing said before and Xu Wenbin played a role. The couple took care of Jiang He specially, picking up some embarrassment from Qing's childhood.

  For example, when I was a child, the skin looked like a monkey. Once he squeezed a piece of meat and ran to show it off to Qin Hao, but he shook his hand and was caught by the dog.

  The two of them just snatched it back from the dog’s mouth...

Jiang He listened carefully, and occasionally felt surprised at some things he didn't understand. The two people beside Xu Qing complained about the show of the Spring Festival Gala. They had a good meal. At the end Xu Qing helped the two women clean up the mess and put the ones that should be put in the refrigerator. You don't need to take the fresh-keeping film to cover it, and when it is close to nine o'clock, the two of them are carrying some vegetables and preparing to go out.

   "Wait, come here first."

  Xu Wenbin drank some wine, his face glowing red, but his eyes were bright, he waved to Xu Qing and turned to the study.

  Xu Qing looked at Zhou Suzhi. Zhou Suzhi watched TV intently and ignored him.

  Handed the things to Jiang He, he followed to the study, and as soon as he entered the door and did not do anything, he saw Xu Wenbin stuffing himself with a small box, and then pushed him out: "Pack it, go, go home and open it again."

   "New Year's Money?"

   "Go back and look again."

  Xu Qing came out of the living room some inexplicably, took a look at the box, thought about it, didn’t open it here, and pulled Jiang He out in his pocket.

   Zhou Suzhi watched them leave, then got up from the sofa and ran to the study.

   "Give it to him?"

"Ok."

   "Why so fast? You didn't say anything to him?" Zhou Suzhi felt unreliable.

   "Say a fart, that kid knows more than me, what are you worrying about."

  Xu Wenbin doesn't fight with anger, that kid is not a serious person.

  Sometimes I really suspect that I was wrong.

  ...

  The air outside was a bit cold, but this couldn't match the warmth in Xu Qing's heart. He had been happy since eating, and was still laughing when he went out.

  "Wait for Uncle Qin, you can be more free, try to think of yourself as a modern person and talk more. It doesn't matter if you say bald mouth, he drinks some wine and sleeps and then turns his head and forgets.

  Is the red wine just delicious? "

  Xu Qing noticed that Jiang He's eyes seemed a little wrong.

   "Not so delicious."

   Jiang He blushed, squinting his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.

   "You can't drink too much, do you?"

"No."

   "That's good. Drinking half a cup shouldn't make you drunk...Look at what baby my dad gave me."

  Xu Qing took out the small box from his pocket and turned on the street light, as expected, exactly as he thought.

  The old couple...

  He was a little weak to complain.

   "What is this?" Jiang He asked while looking at the small square bag inside.

  "Balloons can be blown very big, but I don't need them now." Xu Qing buttoned the box, put it in his pocket, and looked back at the lamp at home upstairs.

  I really think too much.

   "Why do the balloons blow up?"

  "Because it is used for blowing, squeeze it when it is too big, bang!"

   "Can I use it later?"

"Probably…"

  The two people walked slowly towards the other building. Jiang He was silent for a long time with his head dull. When he reached the entrance of the corridor, he suddenly asked: "Are we...are we still innocent?"

   "Innocent...?"

  Xu Qing hesitated looking at her.

  Should you be innocent?

  There seems to be a trap.
