173 The First Shot of the New Year(1/2)
173 The first "cannon" of the new year
Huinan City.
Even though the old lady was unhappy, on the night of Twenty-Nine, Leng Tingyu took Jian Xia and the little guy back to Qianyue Bay. The next morning, Jian Xia got up and dressed the little guy beautifully. She wore a particularly festive big red Tang suit. The collar and cuffs of the Tang suit, as well as the skirt, were all decorated with white rabbit fur. The little guy who was originally a pink carved jade pecking dress, was even more attractive to this outfit. He was simply a lucky boy.
In order to match the little guy, Jian Xia also chose a red skirt herself, and Leng Tingyu chose a burgundy tie, a white shirt and a dark gray suit with British style.
After breakfast, the family of three went back to the mansion directly.
Although what the old lady said yesterday was indeed very reasonable, they were wasting a lot of time on the road when they kept running back and forth like this, but Leng Tingyu's persistence was not unreasonable.
Lin Meiyu and Leng Ning have never had any kindness toward Jian Xia. In addition, there is another Lu Qianqian now. Even if the three of them are afraid of Leng Tingyu and dare not do anything to Jian Xia, who can guarantee that no accident will happen.
Leng Tingyu did not allow any accidents to exist between her and the child in her belly.
Because Jian Xia understood Leng Tingyu's insistence, she was not angry with him. She just felt that his attitude towards the old lady could actually be better and she didn't need to make the old lady angry.
When the family of three returned to the mansion, the old lady had already forgotten everything yesterday, and as if nothing had happened, she happily ran out to pick them up. The little guy's sweet mouthful of "grandma" made the old lady's heart even more begging.
Leng Tingyu was even more rare today to have a day off. He didn't need to deal with any business, so he took the initiative, set up a ladder, pasted couplets and window flowers.
"Dad, it's crooked!"
The little guy stood beside Jian Xia, tilted his round head, looked at the couplet posted by Leng Tingyu, shook his chubby little hands, and kept shouting.
Leng Tingyu, who was standing on the ladder, turned around and narrowed the little guy, looked at Jian Xia, who was smiling but silent, raised his long eyebrows and asked, "Which side is it tilted? On the left or on the right?"
"Yeah..." the little guy thought for a moment, "The left side is tilted."
Leng Tingyu nodded, moved the couplet on the wall to the right, then turned around and asked Jian Xia, "How is it, are you okay?"
Jian Xia looked at him without nodding or shaking her head, and just smiled brightly, "Go down and take a look."
Leng Tingyu knew that the little guy must have been in a blind order, so he made him stick it in a crooked manner again, but he still came down.
Sure enough, the little guy was not distinguished from each other.
"It's obviously tilted to the right, why don't you speak?" Leng Tingyu snatched a loud snatch on Jian Xia's forehead. In his reproachful tone, he didn't know how gentle and pampered he was.
Jian Xia covered her forehead and glared at him, "I don't have such a tacit understanding with my daughter. I really doubt whether you raised her daughter."
"I'm still stubborn!"
Leng Tingyu raised her chin with his long fingers, completely ignoring the little guy and servant present, lowered his head and kissed her red lips, and then bit her red lips lightly or seriously, as a punishment.
Jian Xia hated him, with bright eyes, shimmering, and a rosy little face that was originally rosy, looked even more beautiful.
In the side hall, through the clear glass window, Leng Yan accidentally saw the happy family of three at the gate, as well as the scene of Jian Xia and Leng Tingyu being extremely loving. He felt like he had eaten coptis chinensis, and an indescribable bitterness continued to spread.
Looking at Lu Qianqian, who had been holding her cell phone and didn't know what she was doing, he was even more irritable and turned around and went up to the second floor.
After lunch, everyone had nothing to do, so the old lady called Leng Siqi, Jian Xia, Lin Meiyu, and four women together and opened a table of mahjong.
After a few rounds, Lin Meiyu had something to do, so she asked Leng Yan to take over.
Jian Xia rarely touched mahjong, so her skills were really not very good. When Lin Meiyu played, she was fine, neither losing nor winning, but when Leng Yan came, she was as if she was tit-for-tat with her, desperately suppressing her, allowing her to lose one game after another.
Losing to the tenth lap, just when she didn't know what cards to play, Leng Tingyu appeared at some point, stood behind her, patted her shoulder gently, and threw out two words, "I'll do it."
Jian Xia suddenly turned around and saw him, and a bright light immediately burst into his eyes.
"Oh! Let's avenge your wife!" Leng Siqi, who was beside her, looked at Leng Tingyu and quipped with a faint smile.
Leng Tingyu curled his lips and said nothing. He sat down in the position where Jian Xia gave up and proved with practical actions that he was here to avenge Jian Xia.
After more than a dozen games, Leng Tingyu had no defeat. Moreover, he specialized in Leng Yan's cards, which made Leng Yan's handsome face, which was already a little bit good, gradually collapsed.
But for the sake of face, Leng Yan had to hold on and could not leave with his sleeves.
Jian Xia sat next to Leng Tingyu, happily counting the money and getting cramped even after counting.
In the end, Leng Siqi couldn't stand it anymore, so she pushed the card directly and said with a slanted look on Leng Tingyu, "Tingyu, you are too bullying people. Don't play anymore. If you continue playing, I can't live a good year."
The old lady also stared at Leng Tingyu and stood up and said, "I won't play anymore. I'll go to the kitchen to see how the New Year's Eve dinner is ready."
Leng Tingyu curled his lips and smiled, stretched his long arms out, hugged Jian Xia beside him, "Wife, how much have we won?"
Jian Xia laughed, "Two hundred and twenty hundred."
"That's 199,000. This number is pretty good, quite auspicious." As he said, Leng Tingyu glanced at Leng Yan, who was silent on the other side, pushed away the chair and stood up, and said to Jian Xia, "Put the money away, I'll accompany you to the garden for a walk."
"Okay." Jian Xia collected the money and stood up as well.
Leng Siqi glanced at them directly and left.
Seeing everyone leaving, Leng Yan sat in his seat, lit a cigarette in depression, and started smoking hard.
"Depending on your appearance, have you lost?" At this time, Lu Qianqian came down from the upstairs and walked over. Seeing Leng Yan's not very good-looking face, she also asked with a distorted face, "How much have you lost?"
Leng Yan spit out the smoke rings, and through the blue and white smoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Qianqian, but said nothing and continued to smoke his cigarette.
"Hey, you lost money, why are you shaking your face at me? How could I offend you?" Lu Qianqian felt angry when she saw Leng Yan's look of ignoring her.
Originally, she couldn't go back to the Lu family during the Chinese New Year. She felt very uncomfortable when she was alone at the Leng family for the first time. Leng Yan always ignored her, so how could she feel comfortable?
"Lu Qianqian, my brother just lost a few dollars, are you going to scream here?" Leng Ning, who was not far away, was quite upset when he heard this, and came over immediately to protect Leng Yan.
"Leng Ning, I am your brother's wife now and your sister-in-law. You should respect me." Lu Qianqian suddenly glared at Leng Ning, and her whole body was like a hen with hair blown, full of hostility towards Leng Ning.
"Tsk!" Leng Ning wrapped her hands around her chest and sneered coldly, "Who cares? If you hadn't begged my brother, would you think my brother would marry you?"
Lu Qianqian exploded completely, pointed at Leng Ning's nose and shouted, "Leng Ning, do you say it again?"
"So what if I say it again?" Leng Ning was not afraid of Lu Qianqian, who had exploded with a hair, said with a contemptuous smile, "You are just one..."
"Xiao Ning, shut up!" However, before Leng Ning could say anything, Lin Meiyu's angrily scolding came from behind.
Leng Yan took a deep breath of cigarette, squinted his eyes and glanced at the three women in front of him, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray beside him, and got up and left.
"Leng Yan!"
Seeing Leng Yan leaving like this, Lu Qianqian stomped his feet and called him, but he strode out without even looking back.
Leng Ning sneered and followed.
"Mom, look at the brother and sister, both of them bully me!" Lu Qianqian had no choice but to act coquettishly at Lin Meiyu. In the Leng family, only Lin Meiyu could tolerate her.
Lin Meiyu smiled and quickly comforted her, "Qianqian, Xiaoning is ignorant, don't bother with her, I will definitely talk to her well later."
"Leng Ning is as old as me, she is not a child, so she is not sensible at all. I think she did it on purpose." Lin Meiyu's accusation made Lu Qianqian feel more and more wronged, and she began to cry and continue, "And Leng Yan, since I got married to him, he has never given me a good face. What did I do wrong?"
"Okay, Qianqian, I won't cry for the New Year!"
"Yes, it's the New Year. At this family, I'm the only one who's an outsider. You only know how to bully me. I want to go home and I want to go back to Beijing. I won't celebrate the New Year here." Lu Qianqian felt more and more aggrieved as she thought about it, and her tears fell down her face.
The old lady heard it not far away, and couldn't help but frown, and took a detour and left, just pretending that she didn't hear anything.
"Qianqian, you are the wife of our Leng family now, and you are not an outsider." Lin Meiyu went over, grabbed Lu Qianqian's hand, and coaxed her with a loving look on her face, "It's Ayan and Xiao Ning are wrong. I'll talk to them later, don't bother them! After tonight, if you want to go back tomorrow, let Ayan accompany you to greet you and wish you a happy New Year to your parents, okay?"
Listening to Lin Meiyu's words, Lu Qianqian thought again, if she ran back alone today, wouldn't she shoot herself in the foot and let everyone laugh at her? At the beginning, she promised herself that Leng Yan would definitely fall in love with her.
"Okay, mom, I'll listen to you, then you must let Ayan go back to me tomorrow."
"Okay, I must have Ayan go back with you tomorrow."
....................................................................................................
In the evening, after having the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone sat in the hall and watched CCTV's Spring Festival Gala together. The old lady took out a red envelope and happily sent a red envelope to all the juniors.
This is the tradition of the Leng family. During the Chinese New Year, no matter how old they are, elders will send red envelopes to younger generations.
So, when the old lady finished giving the red envelope, everyone sent red envelopes to Xiaomili, Leng Yan and his brother and sister, and Lu Qianqian.
After Leng Yan took the red envelope given to him by Leng Tingyu, he said, "Thank you, Uncle Fourth", and then gave it to Xiaomili. When Lu Qianqian saw it, she thought that Leng Tingyu was so stingy, and the red envelope might be another dollar, so she also gave it to Xiaomili.
In fact, this red envelope was sealed by Jian Xia, and there was a check worth a lot of money inside.
The little guy was ignorant and it was the first time he received a red envelope, so he curiously opened the red envelope that Lu Qianqian gave her, took out the check inside, shook it in front of the old lady, and asked with big black eyes, "Grandma, how much is this? I'll read it for me."
The old lady took it with a smile. Seeing the amount on the check, she couldn't help but feel surprised, "Oh, your father is so generous this time. He actually gave him a red envelope of 1.99 million."
When Lu Qianqian heard this, she leaned over and took a look. It turned out to be 1.99 million on the check, and she felt regretful in an instant.
After sending the red envelope, Leng Tingyu directly held his daughter, hugged Jian Xia, and went to the garden to set off fireworks. The old lady and Leng Siqi also followed her out under the name of "wanting to go out for a walk". The old man coughed twice with his face and set off fireworks together, leaving behind the depressed Lin Meiyu and the others.
After happily setting off the fireworks, everyone continued to watch the party, chat, eat, and stay up to the New Year. By 11 o'clock in the evening, Leng Siqi could not hold on anymore, so she yawned and said she would go to bed first.
She is a man in her forties and is pregnant with a child of five or six months old, so naturally she cannot compare with everyone. What's more, after she becomes pregnant, she has always been accustomed to going to bed early.
"Go, go to bed, don't be with us, go to bed with yours." The old lady patted Leng Siqi's back, told her to go and rest, and then ordered the servant to accompany her upstairs.
After Leng Siqi left, Leng Ting met Jian Xia by the building and looked at her and said, "Wife, let's go and rest."
Jian Xia raised her lips, "I'm not sleepy, we'll go to bed after twelve o'clock."
"It's so tired that you look like, let's go." Leng Tingyu didn't give her room to refuse, and hugged her slender waist and stood up from the sofa.
Jian Xia, “……….”
"Yes, Xiaoqi, Xiaomo is asleep anyway, you and Leng Tingyu go to rest, and your dad and I will rest after a while." Jian Xia is also a pregnant woman. Although she is better than Leng Siqi, the old lady naturally feels sorry for her and doesn't want her to stay up late.
"Go, go and rest, get up early tomorrow." The old man also spoke.
Since the old man and the old lady said so, Jian Xia did not refuse anymore, nodded, went upstairs with Leng Tingyu, and went back to the room.
