Chapter 128 Celebrating the New Year together
Seeing that Bai Yuan liked it, Qin Lingzheng was also happy.
It was worth it that he racked his brains day and night to choose such a unique gift.
Before, he had thought of taking the character "Yuan" from Bai Yuan's name and planting a large field of irises for her.
From a distance, it looks like a blue and purple ocean, so romantic.
It’s a pity that irises usually bloom around May.
The flowering season has been missed now.
Even if he had someone plant the flowers now, he would still not be able to enjoy the flowers with Bai Yuan on his birthday next Double Ninth Festival.
And irises themselves are poisonous.
Although he is 18 years old, he can't be so vigorous as to just grab a handful and stuff it into his mouth, eating it like a cow chewing a peony.
But when Qin Lingzheng looked at the irises in the picture, he felt a little uneasy for some reason.
I had nightmares for several days.
The content of the nightmare is unknown. After all, it is just a dream, and it is normal to forget it when you wake up.
But after thinking about it, Qin Lingzheng felt that it was not a good sign.
Besides, compared to delicate flowers, birds of prey are more suitable for Bai Yuan's temperament.
He had it all figured out.
Bai Yuan is twelve years old this year, so I gave her twelve white-tailed kites.
I will give you one more every year in the future.
The jewel bird can't fall either.
Keep both real and fake birds.
If any white-tailed kite in the zoo unfortunately died, he could make it into a specimen and give it to her.
This winter is more lively than previous years.
Bai Yuan's second uncle and second aunt came back from the North District.
It's rare for a big family to get together and have a lively reunion year.
Qin Lingzheng originally thought that he would not be able to see Bai Yuan during the New Year holidays.
Bai Yuan hates such noisy occasions the most.
They even hate setting off fireworks at exactly midnight.
Qin Lingzheng didn’t know this before, and he set off fireworks at exactly midnight under the wall of the Bai family.
Now that I think about it, every beating I received was not in vain.
In previous Chinese New Years, Bai Yuan basically did not go out unless it was necessary.
The main thing is to take advantage of the daytime to adjust your daily routine that has been disrupted by the sound of firecrackers and make good use of the time to catch up on sleep.
After all, the compound will be bustling from the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
If you can’t sleep well for half a month, anyone would suffer from neurasthenia.
Qin Lingzheng also tried his best not to get close to her during the New Year holidays.
When Bai Yuan's patience reaches zero, no matter how much he tries to show off his face, it's useless.
So according to the practice of previous years, Qin Lingzheng would wait until after the Chinese New Year, when Bai Yuan had rested enough, before he dared to show up.
But unexpectedly, this year the Bai and Qin families could actually get together to celebrate the New Year.
Even at his old age, the old man of the Qin family is still at the forefront of traveling around the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
A few years ago, when I was still in good health, after climbing the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, I could even have a free fight with the monkeys on Mount Emei.
In previous years, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would always take his gear and fishing gear and go fishing in the deep sea by boat.
The old man has passed the novice protection period, and the survival environment for old players is extremely difficult.
Not only did we fail eight out of ten times, the only time we had a good catch was when we caught a school of flying fish.
The fish comes to your door before you even have time to swing the rod.
There is a bit of metaphysics in fishing.
Since then, Mr. Qin always said that he couldn't catch any fish because he had used up all his luck in catching a school of flying fish.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, he returned to his old job and went to the sea with the fishing boat on time.
It is true that the fish was caught, but the old man is old and his physical strength is not as good as before.
I was almost dragged into the sea by a tuna.
Qin Lingzheng's parents were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.
No matter what, he refused to let the old man go fishing at sea again.
After much persuasion, they coaxed him back from the boat.
He also dug a pond in the Qin family's back garden and dumped a cartload of live fish into it.
Let the old man have his fun at his doorstep.
When he was young, Mr. Qin also carried guns and fired cannons. He spent half his life in the military and was a man of steel, full of passion to serve the motherland.
How could anyone be willing to be confined in their own yard and pretend to play house?
I carried my fishing stool and sat by the pond for three days.
Then naturally it smells really good.
The fish in the pond are really biting the hook!
All the fish he caught in the past few years combined were not as many as what he caught in these three days.
The old man was very happy. Every time he caught a fish, he would take a photo, post it on WeChat Moments, and tag all his friends.
It was a close call that he was blocked by someone.
Most people of his generation came from that era, and either participated in the battle or caught up with the tail end of the war.
I suffered and got hurt when I was young, so my health is still not good enough when I get old.
In recent years, most of them have moved out of the compound and moved to their hometowns where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is good, which is suitable for the elderly to live in.
All in all, the only one who can really talk and reminisce about the past in the yard is the old man of the Bai family.
So the two old men got together these past few months, fishing and chatting.
The most important thing is to avoid giving Mr. Qin the opportunity to flood the circle of friends with posts.
Because of this reason, and because the second son of the Bai family happened to come back from the North District, the old man decided to have everyone get together during the New Year, after all, it would be lively.
Days like this will become less and less frequent every year from now on.
Qin Lingzheng has known Bai Yuan for such a long time, but this is the first time he has had New Year's Eve dinner with her.
There is nothing special about the New Year’s Eve dinner, just ordinary home-cooked dishes that we eat every day.
Because the older generation emphasizes staying up all night to welcome the New Year, children are not allowed to leave the table after dinner. They have to wait until after midnight, greet the New Year, and receive red envelopes before they can go back to sleep.
Perhaps because it was too late and it was past Bai Yuan's usual rest time, she looked quieter than usual.
Many times, when Qin Lingzheng or other people talked to her, Bai Yuan could clearly feel that she was a beat slow in reacting.
It was like being drunk, feeling dazed and his eyes were a little blurry.
But it didn't stop her from putting food into Bai Ou's bowl.
At first Qin Lingzheng was a little puzzled.
He always eats in a very proper manner and only follows the food in front of him.
She never picked up food for others, nor did she let others pick up food for her.
Later it was discovered that it was not only Bai Yuan who clipped for Bai Ou.
It was as if the other members of the Bai family had made an agreement.
Whenever there was less food in Bai Ou's bowl, he would quickly pick up some food with a chopstick and fill it up for him.
During the meal, he didn't even have the chance to say a single word.
The key point is that this child is too talkative. If you don't use food to block his mouth, he can talk from beginning to end in one breath.
Therefore, every year after the Chinese New Year, Bai Ou would gain three kilograms.
However, he exercised so much that within ten days or half a month, his weight started to go down again.
In the past, Bai Yuan always sat next to Bai Ou. She was quick and skillful, so it was always her job to pick up food for Bai Ou.
This year, Qin Lingzheng sat on the other side of Bai Yuan. She was so sleepy that her brain was about to melt into a ball, so she could not tell who was who.
The last few chopsticks were all stuffed into Qin Lingzheng's bowl.
At first, Qin Lingzheng felt very happy, thinking that Bai Yuan picking up food for him was such an intimate gesture. He was secretly happy by himself, not daring to let others see.
