Chapter 178
Pei Wanqing and a double kick were also called a double blast cannon. They blasted one on the ground and one in the sky, and they could also blast fireworks.
Zhi Xia also covered Wanqing Pei's ears and came out, just in time to see the gorgeous colors blast open in the sky.
It was also Pei Wanqing's first time seeing this stuff, and she didn't feel scared anymore. Her small eyes stared straight ahead, staring blankly for a long time.
Pei Chenye was different. He was addicted to seeing it. This stuff exploded and then disappeared. He kicked his legs over there and made trouble again.
Second Sister-in-law Jiang Su called them from the room, "Hurry up and stop playing. Hurry up and come eat dumplings. The dishes are almost cold."
Zhi Xia and Pei Jing hugged their children and hurried over. Everyone returned to their seats, and the number of people was quite large.
In fact, Old Pei’s worries were not unreasonable. Now looking at a large group of lively people, once he left, the eldest daughter of the big room got married, leaving only Pei Jianguo alone, and the second room was even more miserable. After the two daughters got married, I was afraid that only the two of them would be left during the New Year, so Zhi Xia gave birth to twins as soon as she entered the door, and Old Pei was so happy.
The old man always feels that more children are auspicious, and it is lively to have the atmosphere of home.
Now, the only regret is that the second room does not have a son.
Fortunately, the nephew is in front of the door and is not a desperate Han.
The eldest daughter-in-law was a bit difficult to get along with, but at that time the Wang Yue family died under the guns of the Japanese devils in order to save the boss, leaving only her as the only seedling. Therefore, as long as the boss still breathes, she cannot let her down.
It is also for this reason that in recent years, the second room has not suffered less grievances, causing discord between the two houses.
Now that the third child has children, the second daughter-in-law is also good, so in the future if the eldest daughter-in-law is really unwilling, let Chenye smash the basin for the second couple.
The firecracker sounds continued until 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening before it stopped. The An family next door was also very lively, with a whole family of people on the side of the old gentleman and old lady.
Thanks to Wang Caixiang's sake, Zhou Nan went home very early today and cooked the main few dishes. The rest was Wang Caixiang who was busy. When she was done, the New Year's Eve dinner was over, leaving only the soup and water left on the table. She tidied it up with tears streaming down her face before she dared to fill her belly a little.
The old gentleman and old lady were old and had gone to rest early. An Jingzhi and Zhou Nan did not go back either, because they had to eat dumplings and grab the New Year early at night, and they usually went back to sleep at midnight after eating dumplings. The children below were free. Wen Qing picked up a lot of unexploded firecrackers and brought them back, and was pestering Liu Ling to light a incense stick for him to set off firecrackers. Liu Ling didn’t dare to follow his wishes casually.
The power of these firecrackers was very great. He was still young. If he accidentally exploded his hands, it would be too late to regret.
An ZhiXian saw that he was making trouble, walked over, hugged him and rode him on his neck, "What's so fun about firecrackers, go, third uncle will take you out to play."
"Okay... go out and play..." An Wenqing hugged An ZhiXian's head and laughed so hard that he couldn't find his eyes. An ZhiXian also called An Zhiren, "I just made an appointment with JianGuo to play cards. Sister-in-law, second brother, let's go together."
They were all familiar people who had intersections. Wang Caixiang ate dinner and finished her work. Looking at the empty yard in front of her, it was not the first time that such a strong sense of powerlessness surged up.
She seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't integrate into their lives.
Zhi Xia held the child without participating. Jiang Su helped hold Chen Ye. Pei Jing's card skills were obviously superb. Pei JianGuo had already posted half of his face with paper strips, and Pei Shuangshuang and Pei Xiang did not escape.
As soon as An ZhiXian came over, Pei Shuangshuang hurriedly shouted, "Brother ZhiXian, come over and help quickly. We are almost bullied to death by my little uncle."
An ZhiXian was not polite either. He put Wen Qing down, took the cards from her hand, and said, "Get out of the way and see how I take revenge for you."
Pei Jianguo laughed at him for overestimating his ability and let him take over Pei Shuangshuang's paper strips if he had the ability.
Pei Shuangshuang hurriedly smiled and tore off the paper strips on her face, then raised her hand to post them on An ZhiXian’s face.
An ZhiXian blocked it for a while, "It won't stick anymore. Sister-in-law, please help me tear a few more strips. I won't take advantage of you guys."
He didn't like Pei Shuangshuang. She was too coquettish and loved to get intimate.
Ever since the second brother was calculated, An ZhiXian now had more tricks up his sleeve, looking at everyone with ulterior motives.
Pei Xiang also wanted to withdraw, handing her cards to An Zhiren.
Liu Ling simply pasted them both with the two girls who lost to them, which looked ridiculous and funny.
Wen Qing also wanted to paste, and An ZhiXian casually tore off a strip and pasted it on his face.
Just like this, lively, 12 o'clock passed quickly.
There was a crisp sound of firecrackers, and the card game also dispersed. The An family went back to the old gentleman to eat dumplings, and after eating, they went home to sleep. Tomorrow they had to get up early to worship the god of wealth, and it was a new day.
The Pei family was the generation of Old Pei who entered the city, so there were not many close relatives. They didn't have many elders to worship. They only went to the old gentleman's side for a while and got four red envelopes.
Because Pei Jing and Zhi Xia didn't come back last year, this year's supplements were given to them.
In contrast, the newlywed An Zhiren got nothing.
He didn't feel lost, because this marriage was not what he wanted, let alone admit it. At the same time, this is also the meaning of the old gentleman and old lady not recognizing this daughter-in-law.
Wang Caixiang's face was pale in the yard. Even the old lady did not give her a chance to worship the god of wealth. Looking at the liveliness that belonged to others in the living room, she was even more lonely.
The old lady called Zhi Xia alone into the room and sighed, "Tomorrow is the day when the married daughter returns to her natal family. Zhi Xia, what your parents did was wrong, but those things are all in the past. You can't resent them for a lifetime. , Grandma doesn't ask you to be able to deal with them wholeheartedly, just look at your mother who is still taking care of you during your confinement, the surface should always be maintained."
Zhi Xia nodded, "I know what grandma is worried about, don't worry, I will go tomorrow."
As the old lady said, even if she can't get along sincerely, at least the surface should be maintained.
Today's life is very good, and there is no need to make waves again.
As for their inner thoughts, she doesn't care anymore.
"Well, grandma knows that you are an obedient good child." The old lady smiled.
Zhi Xia's expression moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Only she herself knows clearly that she is not a good child, nor will she forgive, it's just that some things have long been irrelevant.
Zhi Xia has always lived very clearly. She now has her own children and family. That is the happiness she should cherish.
Returning to the Pei family, the Wang Yue and Jiang Su families had already come to Old Pei to worship the god of wealth. Although the grandchildren were adults, none of them were married. Old Pei also gave red envelopes to everyone for good luck.
Seeing Zhi Xia coming back with the children, Jiang Su also gave red envelopes to the two children. It was wrapped in red paper used to write couplets. Wang Yue also gave two indifferently. Feeling thick, Zhi Xia was a little surprised.
Returning to the room, Zhi Xia opened the red envelope and found that the two thick money bags given by Wang Yue were full of small change, four five cents a package of two dollars.
Sister-in-law Jiang Su had a big reunion ticket in a package, and 20 dollars in two packages, which was equivalent to more than half a person's monthly salary.
When Pei Jing came back, Zhi Xia hurriedly asked him, "Have you given out the red envelopes to them?"
Although they were young, they had high seniority. So they also reported several red envelopes yesterday. Considering the age of their nephews and nieces, giving less would not be appropriate either. There were five dollars in one package.
"I gave it," Pei Jing came over to tease the children, "Ask her, what's wrong?"
Zhi Xia then told him about the red envelopes from the two families. The big room didn't matter much. She was always willing to lose a little and unwilling to take advantage of anyone. But now there is only Pei Xiang in the second room. The one given is also big, which is a bit too much loss.
Pei Jing understands Jiang Su's approach. "Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law have no son. Second Brother has always doted on JianGuo very much. He also mentioned letting JianGuo smash the pot when he gets old. Since then, the eldest sister-in-law has felt that everything in the second room belongs to JianGuo. The appetite is too ugly, so the second sister-in-law is not very happy. Now I guess I also want to point to Chenye in the future..."
For such things, Zhi Xia looks very open. In a few more years, the family planning will come out, and there will be many only children.
The red envelopes have been given, and it would be too deliberate to make up for them. She was thinking that she would make up for them in other places when there was a chance in the future.
