The taste of the New Year in the south is always not as strong as that in the north, and in a big city like S City, where people from all over the world gather, the New Year is naturally celebrated in its own way, and the methods are completely different.
Aunt Liu's husband died early and she had no children, so she didn't leave the Qian family during the Chinese New Year. Instead, she continued to take care of Qian Mo and others, so she took care of all the Chinese New Year affairs of the Qian family.
When Han Chongyuan said that she would take Meng En to buy New Year's goods, she laughed: "What kind of New Year's goods are you buying now? We bought New Year's goods back then because there was no place to buy anything during the New Year, but now supermarkets The door is still open on New Year's Eve, and there is still no shortage of food and drink at home, so what else do you want to buy?"
"Aunt Liu, what did you buy for Chinese New Year?" Meng En asked curiously. Li Shuyun herself is not a New Year's Eve, so she would take him to Meng Jianjin's place every New Year's Eve. Although that would allow him to eat some delicious food, it would never make him feel better. Sometimes Meng Jianjin would bring Cheng Ningshan, Meng Meng and others there. When eating outside, he had to wait foolishly in the cold wind.
"At that time, we actually didn't buy many things for the Chinese New Year, and we started preparing as soon as December entered. Some people were even earlier. First, we had to prepare a pig's head or a piece of pork to marinate and wait for the Chinese New Year to worship the ancestors, and then went to fight. A few pieces of rice cakes, buy a basket of dried bamboo shoots...Every household in the countryside raises chickens, so you don’t need to buy chickens during the Chinese New Year, just kill one of your own.” Aunt Liu said with a smile, she and Qian Mo are fellow villagers, and their hometown is far away from S City It's not far away: "At that time, everyone had no money, and there were not many things to buy during the Chinese New Year, just two firecrackers. If you have spare money, you can buy some blessings or something."
"Yeah, everyone had no money at that time," Qian Mo also had some nostalgia, "I remember when I was young, I went to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, and the table was mainly vegetables, radishes and tofu, just a bowl of pork or chicken, and adults often didn't eat it. Only children can eat a piece. Sometimes that guy Xiaosong wants to eat a piece, and my dad will give him a kick under the table. And fish, often the fish on the table is raw, what is it called? Fish, put them out to watch every time guests come." When mentioning her younger brother Qian Song, Qian Mo couldn't help but sighed softly.
When Qian Mo and Aunt Liu talked about the past Chinese New Year, they were both a little embarrassed. Han Chongyuan glanced at Meng En who was listening to Qian Mo seriously, but felt a little distressed.
Meng En's previous life was not much better than when Qian Mo and Aunt Liu were young.
With Aunt Liu around, Han Chongyuan and Meng En didn’t need to buy vegetables or anything like that. After thinking about it, Han Chongyuan simply took Meng En and asked Zhao Ying to take him to a shop specializing in fireworks and firecrackers in the suburbs of S city. , and then bought a lot of money.
It was already afternoon when he came out of Qian's house. Han Chongyuan knew that he was going to eat out, so he asked Aunt Liu to prepare some food in advance, so he didn't go home after buying the fireworks. Instead, he took Meng En to a nearby restaurant. Restaurant.
Meng En looked at the menu and ordered two dishes. After the bodyguards sat down at another table, Han Chongyuan took out a lunch box of sushi.
Han Chongyuan doesn't eat outside food, but he doesn't dislike Aunt Liu's food. Qian Mo was very busy. Aunt Liu took him with him when he was a child, and Aunt Liu had always stood by his side in his previous life. Even if he was hit hard later, he would not hate Aunt Liu. It's a pity that Aunt Liu is old and uneducated, so she didn't help him in the end, but was sent away by Li Xiaoxiao to take care of her.
Aunt Liu's sushi is obviously not at the same level as Meng En's.
The sushi has been cut open, and each piece is the size of a little finger. There are several kinds of seasonings wrapped in the white rice, among which are the small cucumbers that Aunt Liu personally pickled.
Of course, in the case that Aunt Liu did not put some precious ingredients, no matter how good the sushi tastes, it is essentially just a portable rice ball, and it is actually not as good as a hot meal.
Meng En sat across from Han Chongyuan. He ordered two dishes, one was boiled pork slices and the other was fish-flavored shredded pork. The tip of his nose was sweating while he was eating, and the smell made Han Chongyuan want to go home. Aunt Liu cooked boiled fish for herself.
Although the dishes are very fragrant, Meng Enla's tears came out. When he ordered the dishes, he thought that the boiled pork slices were pork boiled in white water, but in fact, the boiled pork slices were very spicy, and obviously a lot of seasonings were added. .
There are slices of meat floating in the red soup, and soybean sprouts are spread under the meat slices. This dish looks so spicy that people dare not eat it, but it is very enjoyable when eating, but Meng En used to eat spicy food. There were very few of them, so even though the two dishes in front of him were less spicy, he still couldn't stand it.
But he couldn't bear to eat it. After all, the taste of these two dishes is very good, and the price is also expensive...
Pick up the soybean sprouts and sliced meat, and wait until the soup on top drips down before Meng En dares to eat it, and then immediately stuffed it with a mouthful of white rice...
Spicy things are often appetizing, and Meng En finally ate four small bowls of rice in one sitting. Of course, this was also the reason why he was reluctant to part with leftovers.
"We're going to set off fireworks after eating." Han Chongyuan said, fireworks are not allowed in urban areas, but there are still places in the suburbs. He brought Meng En out this time just to set off fireworks—to bring people he likes to watch fireworks, It is said to be a very romantic thing.
"The ones we bought?" Meng En asked subconsciously.
"Of course." Han Chongyuan pulled him into the car, and kissed Meng En's lips before Zhao Ying came to check out: "Spicy."
Meng En was startled by Han Chongyuan's behavior, and forgot to continue asking until he saw Han Chongyuan moved all those fireworks to an open space.
"Should we take some back and put them with Auntie?" Meng En took Han Chongyuan's hand.
"No, and fireworks are not allowed there." Han Chongyuan patted Meng En's head and lit a tube of fireworks.
He remembered that Han Chongyuan spent more than 400 yuan for such a firework! When Meng En saw Han Zhongyuan buying fireworks generously before, he thought it was Qian Mo who wanted to see it, or the company needed it, so he didn't stop him at all, but now, Han Chongyuan set off all the fireworks one by one in front of him. It costs three thousand yuan!
The fireworks are really beautiful. Meng En still remembers that he once waited for hours in the nearby square in winter to watch the fireworks, but it was free fireworks... But now, as long as he thinks about it, he will let it go For three thousand yuan, Meng En couldn't help but feel distressed, and he didn't think the fireworks looked good.
More than 3,000 yuan just disappeared, isn't this a waste
"After the fireworks are off, let's go to the movies." Han Chongyuan said again.
"It's late..."
"I haven't taken you to the movies yet." Han Chongyuan directly made a decision, and when he got to the cinema, he chose a comedy that he had watched with Meng En many years later.
It's the 29th year of the new year, and many people are on vacation, so the movie theater is very lively. Han Chongyuan couldn't buy a good seat ticket, so he sat in the back corner with Meng En.
A funny plot was playing on the screen, but Meng En was in a daze—it was the first time he knew that watching a movie was so expensive...
Although he found Meng En's painful expression, Han Chongyuan only thought that Meng En was cute like this, but he didn't know that his dating method made Meng En a little unbearable.
After watching the movie with Meng En, Han Chongyuan went home contentedly, and even rarely paid attention to the current situation of Yuanmeng—anyway, if something happened to Yuanmeng, Qi Anan would definitely contact him as soon as possible.
Meng En noticed Han Chongyuan's good mood and made him swallow back what he was going to say. Although he thinks setting off fireworks is too wasteful, if Han Chongyuan likes it, what right does he have to stop it? It's not his money that Han Chongyuan spent.
The next day is New Year's Eve.
Although the first day of the new year is the beginning of the Spring Festival, people pay more attention to the New Year's Eve. In S City, many people have omitted all activities such as worshiping ancestors and kitchen gods during the New Year, but no one will omit New Year's Eve. For dinner, Aunt Liu made a very hearty meal this day.
In the spacious restaurant of the villa, the four of them ate this delicious meal together. Although there were few people, the atmosphere was really good, until Qian Mo's cell phone rang.
Seeing the number displayed on the phone, Qian Mo's smile faded away. Ever since Han Chongyuan said something at that banquet during the summer vacation, the rift between Han Shen and her has become bigger and bigger.
When she first learned about her son's rebirth, Qian Mo still thought that she would be able to persuade Han Shen to let Han Shen stand on their mother and son's side, but now, she knew that was impossible.
Han Shen has feelings for them, but how can this feeling compare to the parents who gave birth to him and raised him? And Han Xingmiao... Han Shen raised Han Xingmiao for so many years, and spent so much time for the frail and sickly Han Xingmiao. I am afraid that his feelings for Han Xingmiao surpassed that of his own son!
"What's the matter?" Qian Mo finally answered the phone.
"Qian Mo, you don't even come back for Chinese New Year!" Han Shen said through gritted teeth. His parents said that if Qian Mo and Han Chongyuan came back to apologize, they would let the past go. As a result, Qian Mo didn't even come home for Chinese New Year.
"Han Shen, that's not my house. Besides, you haven't even come back for Chinese New Year?" Qian Mo sneered.
"Qian Mo, what do you mean? You don't want to live with me?" Han Shen was also very angry. Why isn't his home Qian Mo's home
"I want to ask you this question, Han Shen, if you really think that our mother and son are bothered, then we will divorce." Qian Mo said, she has been enduring those small troubles from the Han family because Han Shen is on her side , but not anymore.
"Qian Mo! I really misread you! I thought we had feelings for each other, but I didn't expect you to be so unfeeling... I didn't believe Xing Miao said before that you encouraged Yuan Meng to target Hai Ling, but now it seems that this is also true It's..." Han Shen's voice was a little tired: "Qian Mo, Chong Yuan is still young, do you really plan to pamper him like this? Are you not afraid that you will indulge him too much in the end and make him make a big mistake?"
Han Shen knew about the fact that Han Xingmiao opened an electronics company called Hailing, and even lent two million to Han Xingmiao.
Seeing that Han Xingmiao opened the factory in a similar manner, Han Shen was inevitably proud of him and honored, but he did not expect that Hailing had not been open for a long time, and Han Xingmiao told him that Yuanmeng had been targeting Hailing, and this It should be promoted by Qian Mo.
Han Chongyuan was only eighteen and had just graduated from high school, and he was able to be the technical director of Yuanmeng. Han Shen couldn't believe that there was no handwriting of Qian Mo in it!
It's okay for Qian Mo to arrange Han Chongyuan into Yuanmeng. After knowing that Hai Ling belongs to Han Xingmiao, he should not have allowed Han Chongyuan to target Hai Ling!
"You don't even believe your own son?" Qian Mo sighed. Han Chongyuan used to be so obedient in front of Han Shen, but he didn't expect Han Shen to believe him at all... She had already shown weakness to Han Shen, saying that she and Han Shen Han Chongyuan suffered unfair treatment in the Han family, but Han Shen still believed in those people, and now he has nothing to say.
Han Chongyuan is a complete villain now, what else can he believe? Han Shen wanted to question, but found that Qian Mo had hung up the phone.
The anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed, and Han Shen blew the wind in the corridor for a while before returning to the dining table.
"What did Qian Mo say?" Han Guangtao looked at his son.
"She got mad at me again." Han Shen smiled wryly.
"You just coax her when she gets angry." Han Guangtao said. He doesn't like Qian Mo, and even hates this daughter-in-law, but he will not let his son really separate from Qian Mo. After all, Qian Mo's current wealth far exceeds that of the Han family. .
Hearing what his father said, Han Shen had even more dissatisfaction with Qian Mo. Even the grievances received by Qian Mo before, he felt that Qian Mo had a too hard temper or misinterpreted the meaning of his parents.
"Uncle, it's all my fault, if I hadn't said something about Hai Ling..." Han Xingmiao looked guilty.
"Xing Miao, this matter has nothing to do with you." Han Shen comforted his nephew, why can't his son be as cute as his nephew
Although Han Shen said so, his wife and children were not around, and his wife even asked him for a divorce, which made him a little distracted. The atmosphere in the Han family was not as good as before.
At this time, Qian Mo and the others had already finished the New Year's Eve dinner.
Qian Mo's hometown didn't have the tradition of making dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and they didn't even keep watch at night, but they were used to watching the Spring Festival Gala. After dinner, Qian Mo and Aunt Liu sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Meng En looked at this scene with a little envy, but he actually missed Li Shuyun somewhat. Li Shuyun did treat him badly, but after all, Li Shuyun raised him, and Li Shuyun occasionally treats him well... However, Li Shuyun should wish that he didn't exist, right
Thinking of this, Meng En inevitably felt a little depressed.
"You can call your mother. In fact, I have someone send her new year's goods. You don't have to worry about her." Han Chongyuan said. Ever since he knew the virtues of the Li family, Han Chongyuan would send something to Li Shuyun during the holidays, so that the Li family thought that Meng Jianjin had not forgotten Li Shuyun, and treated Li Shuyun better, so that Li Shuyun would never leave the Li family. .
"Thank you." Meng En looked at Han Chongyuan gratefully.
Han Chongyuan couldn't help but want to kiss Meng En again.
Meng En was not very interested in the Spring Festival Gala, so Han Chongyuan put him to bed after nine o'clock, and when Meng En left, he came to Qian Mo's side: "What did Han Shen say?"
"He said that I encouraged Yuan Meng to find trouble with Hai Ling." Qian Mo sneered.
"Really? Then I'd be too sorry for him if I didn't do this." Han Chongyuan smiled immediately. He made a lot of contacts and asked the police to investigate the source of those fake products. Han Xingmiao was probably worried, so he said this in front of Han Shen.
Han Xingmiao vaccinated in front of Han Shen and others in advance and said that Yuanmeng was going to trouble him, so that when the police found them, others might think that Yuanmeng probably framed him, and those who thought he was pitiful , should also help him clean up and help Hai Ling tide over the difficulties.
If it was more ideal, maybe he, the son, would pick up Hailing and put it down gently in order not to make a good impression on Han Shen.
But is it possible for him to do that
Han Xingmiao probably thought that he could only deal with Hai Ling by checking the origin of the fakes? This underestimates them too.
