Chapter 22 New Year’s Eve

When Qin Yuanqing returned home, it was already dark, and the whole village was shrouded in a festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Every household had festive Spring Festival couplets, and people set off firecrackers and fireworks from time to time. Children were playing everywhere, wearing new clothes,

Playing with a toy gun in his hand.

Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but smile. He used to come here like this, but when he was a child, he only had pistols and rifles, and their shapes were not very exquisite. Nowadays, children's toy guns include submachine guns, sniper rifles, etc., and their shapes are very exquisite.

There are also children who are very happy using remote control electric cars.

"Uncle, uncle!" The 6-year-old niece, wearing a beautiful dress, trotted over as soon as she saw Qin Yuanqing.

"Tingting!" Qin Yuanqing picked up his little niece and raised it above his head, making her giggle.

He has been holding his little niece since she was a child, and she is the closest to him. His brother is a bit patriarchal, and his daughter basically doesn't hold her much.

"Brother, hurry up and surround the fire, you are the only one missing!" the sister-in-law shouted.

The second brother came out of the kitchen with steamed seafood. Mom and dad were already seated. There was a small stove under the table, and the charcoal was lit. This was the stove. The small stove was burning brightly, which meant that the new year was prosperous.

Prosperous.

The eldest brother is serving wine, and there is always more or less wine at the reunion dinner.

As usual in previous years, after they finished surrounding the fire, they would go to their uncle's house to sit around the fire in the evening. All the brothers and sisters would be together. This day was also Grandma's happiest day.

Qin Yuanqing hugged his niece and sat down in a seat. His second brother also arranged the seafood and sat down. As a parent, his father poured a glass of wine into the wine glass and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone has a happy and healthy new year!"

"I wish dad good health and all the best in the new year!" Qin Yuanqing and others blessed him one after another.

This year's reunion dinner was much richer than in previous years. In addition to lobster, there were also red sturgeon, winter crab, cod, grouper, shrimp, two kinds of vegetables, and chicken and duck meat. The whole table was filled to the brim.

Qin Yuanqing peeled shrimps for his niece, picked out the spines of the fish, and gave them to her to eat. He also teased her from time to time, making her laugh happily.

Dad was chatting about the past few days. For example, the second brother gave him 50,000 yuan to use for decoration. The eldest brother also said that he would give 20,000 yuan. He planned to decorate around the National Day this year and move at the end of the year. If possible, the second brother's wedding would be together.

Get rid of it.

"Dad has lived for most of his life. Face is not important anymore. As long as you can get married, nothing else matters." Dad drank more and talked more.

Qin Yuanqing took out the gifts he had prepared and gave them to his parents, brother, sister-in-law and niece. Then he talked about the training camp in the capital, saying that he was doing well in the capital and would definitely win the gold medal in this competition. Then he talked about himself

Bought a house in Ludao.

"Dad, Mom, I got off the plane at Ludao Airport today. I saw that the houses in Ludao have dropped a lot, so I bought one. I have paid for it in full. Now I am waiting for the property registration to get the three certificates." Qin Yuanqing said.

: "At that time, you can also go to Ludao to live, or eldest brother and second brother, you can also live there."

"I'm watching the news. Now the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has triggered an economic crisis. Many factories have gone bankrupt and workers have lost their jobs. Isn't it too risky to buy a house?" Dad worriedly said: "And the house at home is large enough to live in.

What kind of house should I buy?”

"Dad, now is the financial crisis. The sharp fall in housing prices is a good opportunity to buy the bottom. The housing prices here were over ten thousand per square meter before. If you wait until later, you won't be able to afford it." Qin Yuanqing said: "I am in the capital.

At that time, many teachers and professors were buying houses, so I believe it is right to follow them."

Sure enough, when I heard that high-level intellectuals were also buying houses, my father was no longer worried. As a farmer, I thought very simply. If you read more books, you must be smart. If you follow smart people, you won't suffer.

And my mother mentioned that she invited a sister to test the other party's attitude two days ago, but the other party did not clearly agree.

When Qin Yuanqing heard this, he laughed: "It's a good thing that you don't agree clearly. It means that you won't refuse. This matter is completely interesting. After the reunion dinner at grandma's house tonight, I will sit down with you. I believe we can confirm it."

Qin Yuanqing is not a student who knows nothing. After all, he has been in society for nearly ten years. He knows that the other person is being arrogant. As long as he sits down for a while, gives the other person enough face, and pays more compliments, he will basically be fine.

You can talk about gifts and the like.

After all, both men and women are twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old. In rural areas, they are considered old men and women. It would not be nice to talk about it. In fact, the parents are more demanding than the parties involved in this matter. They belong to the type where the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are.

"Since the other party refuses, forget it. It's not like I don't want a woman, I'm..." The second brother said with an impatient look on his face.

"Second brother, it's not up to you to make the decision. You just watch!" Qin Yuanqing interrupted the second brother. The second brother's mouth was just following his temper instead of his heart.

Sometimes Qin Yuanqing feels that people should read more books to improve their inner cultivation, instead of being ignorant and often doing stupid things.

The second brother had no choice but to drink a glass of wine and stopped talking. Now he has the lowest status in the family, and his words have the least weight, so words are of no use. This is the countryside. When I go home for the New Year without my girlfriend, I can only keep my head down and keep a low profile.

Can't talk much.

Qin Yuanqing and his parents discussed the decoration time. They could start laying bricks in May and decorate 2 months after the completion of brick laying. Qin Yuanqing took out the renderings he had printed and there were external renderings.

, various perspectives, as well as the renderings of each indoor floor and each room, according to the budget made by Qin Yuanqing, the entire decoration will probably cost about 300,000 yuan, plus the outside yard, it will cost about 400,000 yuan.

If we wait another seven or eight years, the renovation cost will more than double!

Not only do you need to buy a house early, but you also need to build a house early. The later you go, the more expensive it will be, unless it is strictly controlled by the state.

Qin Yuanqing is not worried about not having enough money. The money at home now is enough to lay bricks. When it is time to renovate, Qin Yuanqing is sure to make enough money.

The family was very satisfied with the decoration plan, and Qin Yuanqing also kept the decoration drawings at home. Anyway, the relevant design information was in his laptop.

This time in the capital, Qin Yuanqing spent 7,000 yuan to buy a laptop. The performance was okay and basically enough. He didn't play games anyway, so the configuration didn't need to be too high.

The eldest brother, second brother and sister-in-law also participated in the discussion with great interest. After all, this is where the whole family will live in the future.

The reunion dinner lasted for two hours before it came to an end.

After making tea in the living room for a while, everyone went to uncle's house.

As in previous years, four tables were set up at my uncle's house. Each of the three brothers Qin, Yuanqing and Qin took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to grandma. Other brothers of the same generation, except for cousins, would give grandma a red envelope whenever they came.

.

When everyone arrived, grandma greeted everyone to the table. My parents and grandma were at the same table, and Qin Yuanqing and the others of the same generation occupied three tables. Everyone ate and drank. They said they were eating and drinking, but in fact everyone was having a reunion dinner at home, and they are still doing it now.

They were both full and chatting more.

And Qin Yuanqing inevitably became the center, praised by his elders and envied by his peers. Qin Yuanqing was helpless, his mind had already matured, and he actually did not need these compliments.

Among the peers, the two cousins ​​were more regretful. They had very good grades in junior high school. However, due to family reasons, their grades dropped in the third grade of junior high school and they were not able to go to Jinpo No. 1 Middle School. After that, they did not go to high school and went out to work. The two cousins ​​also

They are one year younger than Qin Yuanqing, and they are twins. Unfortunately, they are not good at studying. The two sisters are good at studying. Their test scores are only 40 or 50 points, not even the passing mark. Nowadays, they are studying in vocational schools. They are said to be studying, but in fact

It's just a matter of dawdling around and getting a vocational school diploma.

The reunion dinner ended at around nine o'clock. Qin Yuanqing left first with his parents and second brother, heading to the woman's house.

Qin Yuanqing knew that the woman was a primary school classmate with the second brother, and was currently selling fruit on Ludao Island. She was not bad looking. Although the woman was the same age as the second brother, she was sitting quietly aside at this time, and her parents seemed to have forgotten

The previous dissatisfaction was all laughed and talked about.

"Uncle, if Sister Meixiang marries my second brother, our family will definitely regard her as one of our own relatives, and my parents will also regard her as their biological daughter." Qin Yuanqing interjected at the right time: "I am in Lu

I bought a house on Ludao. If the two of them get married, they can live there in the future and you can rest assured that they will work hard on Ludao."

Qin Yuanqing actually doesn't want his second brother to continue to do seafood. This industry is for young people. When you get older, you can't stay up all night every day, and it's not good for the family. He still hopes that his second brother can find a job in Ludao.

Anyway, they will live in their own place and don't need to pay rent. It will be enough for them to live.

Sure enough, sometimes for the more powerful people, it is best to just leave it alone. As for the gift money, it was also agreed upon, 88888, an auspicious number. Dad agreed without thinking about it. The parents of both parties agreed on a time to exchange birth dates and started looking for

day.

The second brother kept talking to each other, but the girl didn't agree or disagree out loud. Not disagreeing meant she agreed.

Qin Yuanqing was relieved that his second brother's life-long matter was resolved. His parents were also happy, and the woman's parents were also very happy.
