by VolareChapter 104: New Year’s Eve
“Want to do it a few more times?”
Qin Tingshen shook his head like a rattle-drum, “Baby, doing it too much is bad for your health. We need to do it in moderation.”
Shi Qingyan was also afraid of exhausting him, “Alright then.”
After adjusting his schedule, Qin Tingshen was also full of energy again.
The day after the annual meeting, the company started its New Year holiday. After a busy year, they could finally relax and rest.
With only a few days left until the New Year, every household was busy buying New Year’s goods.
The streets and supermarkets were crowded with people everywhere, visibly bustling with activity.
Shi Qingyan was the most carefree, spending his entire day eating and drinking.
Ji Yang returned to Jiang City these past two days to prepare for the New Year. Xiao Changming had people prepare many things to send to Ji Changan, and even prepared a hundred-million-dollar contract.
Ji Changan was silent for a moment, then burst into a smile, his face full of wrinkles.
He treated Xiao Changming even better than his own son.
Soon it was New Year’s Eve. The Qin and Shi families agreed to spend it together. Shi Qingyan would be at the Qin’s house for lunch, and the Qin family would go to the Shi’s house in the evening.
Who told the Shi family to cook so deliciously?
At this moment, Shi Qingyan was playing Go with Grandfather Qin.
Seeing that he was about to lose, Grandfather Qin started his old trick: “Wait, I made a mistake, it should be here.”
Shi Qingyan waited for him to take back his move and continued to place his stone.
“I won! Haha, Grandpa, I wouldn’t have been able to win so quickly if you didn’t take back your move.”
Grandfather Qin angrily threw down the stones and went to watch TV.
Shi Qingyan put away the stones and brought over a small piece of cake.
“You brat, couldn’t you let me win?”
“That would be too boring.” He just liked seeing him angry.
Qin Haizhao and his wife were helping to make dumplings in the kitchen. Shi Mubai and his wife, seeing the messy and unpresentable dumplings, directly kicked them out of the kitchen.
Just making trouble.
It was quite strange, the couple weren’t good at cooking, but Qin Tingshen had a knack for it. What was that about?
Shi Qingfeng and Mu Yinian returned to the Mu family to celebrate the New Year and would come back later.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, it had already gotten dark. It was only seven o’clock, but Shi Mubai planned to wait for Shi Qingfeng and Mu Yinian to return before cooking the dumplings.
Feeling bored, Qin Haizhao suggested playing cards. The men gathered together to play, while Mu Ningshuang and Lan Xia discussed where to go for fun after the New Year.
Fireworks bloomed in the sky, colorful, brilliant, and dazzling.
The sound of firecrackers outside was accompanied by the sound of playing cards, making it incredibly lively.
Shi Qingyan threw out his last five cards, “Straight, I win.”
Qin Haizhao looked at his son, gesturing with his eyes for him to let him win.
Qin Tingshen was speechless, throwing out a Big Joker. No one played, so he threw down the last 2.
Qin Haizhao couldn’t beat it. Next was Shi Mubai, who threw out a Small Joker and then threw out a pair of threes.
Only Grandfather Qin and Qin Haizhao were left staring at each other.
The two of them threw out their cards. Good heavens, the cards weren’t bad, but they didn’t win.
Shi Qingyan could tell that these two weren’t good at Go or playing cards.
They started a new round. Shi Qingyan looked at his cards and muttered, “These cards aren’t very good, no Big Joker or Small Joker, not even an A or a 2.”
Qin Haizhao heard him muttering and thought his cards were good, he would definitely win.
Ten minutes later, Qin Haizhao stared blankly at the only 3 card left in his hand.
Everyone else had won, only Qin Haizhao was left.
Damn it!
He lost again.
Qin Haizhao didn’t believe it and wanted to play another round, but Shi Qingfeng and Mu Yinian came back.
Shi Mubai got up to cook the dumplings, and Qin Haizhao had to give up.
It was almost time to eat. They prepared the bowls and chopsticks, and Shi Qingfeng prepared the firecrackers, waiting for the dumplings to be cooked.
As soon as the dumplings were cooked, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside.
Crackling and popping, deafening.
“I’ve been craving this for so long, I finally get to eat it.”
The meal was eaten happily and heartily.
After the meal, Shi Qingyan dragged Mu Yinian to the yard to set off fireworks.
“Sister-in-law, these fireworks are pretty.”
Not satisfied with just one, Shi Qingyan set out four fireworks, one for each person to light.
Colorful fireworks quickly bloomed in the sky, dazzling and vibrant.
As soon as it turned twelve o’clock, Shi Qingyan ran to Grandfather Qin, spread out his hands, “Happy New Year, Grandpa, I wish you good health and all the best.”
Grandfather Qin couldn’t stop smiling, taking out a big red envelope and giving it to Shi Qingyan, “Good, good, good child, this is the New Year’s money Grandpa prepared for you.”
Shi Qingyan happily accepted the red envelope and went to wish Qin Haizhao and Mu Ningshuang a Happy New Year.
The two of them gave him a big red envelope each, he couldn’t have been happier.
Shi Mubai and Mu Ningshuang weren’t left out either. After receiving the red envelopes, he went to find Shi Qingfeng. Shi Qingfeng spread out his hands, “My red envelopes are all for your sister-in-law.”
In previous years, the red envelopes Shi Qingfeng received would be given to Shi Qingyan, but now that he had a wife, he naturally gave them to his wife first.
“But this is what I prepared for you separately.”
Shi Qingfeng took out two red envelopes and gave them to him, “And one is for Qin Tingshen.”
“Thank you, brother~”
Shi Qingyan ran to find Mu Yinian, “Happy New Year, sister-in-law!”
Mu Yinian’s cool face was filled with a smile, “Happy New Year, Xiao Yan.”
None of them were short of money, so they prepared red envelopes for all the children.
Even Ji Yang and Xiao Changming had them.
Ji Yang sent a video to wish them a Happy New Year. Ji Changan and the others sat in front of the camera, looking at the nine people on this side, exclaiming how lively it was.
Qin Haizhao, the social butterfly, went online: “You come over tomorrow, let’s have a drink together, call up Old Mu too.”
Ji Changan immediately agreed, “Okay, we’ll go tomorrow, you have to prepare good wine and good food.”
They chatted until late at night before dispersing to sleep.
If they chatted any longer, it would be tomorrow. They had to hurry up and sleep before dawn.
They still had to wish people a Happy New Year tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Shi Qingyan was groggily dragged out of bed by Qin Tingshen.
He dressed him, washed his face, and went downstairs to eat.
After breakfast, they went to wish each other a Happy New Year.
After wishing people a Happy New Year, they went to see a movie. Ji Yang and the others would come in the afternoon, not delaying their movie.
When they got home, it was still early, so they hurried back to catch up on sleep.
By the time Ji Yang and the others arrived, it was almost five o’clock.
They chatted and laughed, and when the time came, they went to Jinxiu Restaurant again.
The three members of the Qin family had just arrived at the restaurant when Shi Qingyan and the others arrived. The Mu family arrived at the restaurant a little later.
Walking into the private room, they talked lively, and Ji Changan brought many Jiang City specialties, distributing them to everyone.
After the food was served, they ate and chatted.
Ji Yang received a large stack of red envelopes, and his mouth was smiling numb.
Of course, Ji Changan also prepared red envelopes for the others.
They happily and lively finished the meal, and it was getting late, so they dispersed and went home.
The business opened on the eighth day of the New Year, and they officially went to work after setting off firecrackers.
Qin Tingshen began to get busy again.
Shi Qingyan, feeling bored, discussed with Ji Yang what to do, but after discussing for a long time, they couldn’t come up with anything.
And just like that it turned to March, the weather was gradually getting warmer, and the forsythia in the yard was in full bloom, golden and bright.
This day, Shi Qingyan was watching TV when he received a call from Lao He.
“Boss, we received an email that was sent to you. I’ve already sent it to you, take a look.”
Shi Qingyan hung up the phone and opened his computer to check the email.
After reading the contents of the email, Shi Qingyan was a little strange, why would they suddenly want to invite him?
