Retribution (Rebirth)
Chapter 69: new year
The taste of the New Year in the south is always less severe than that in the north, and in a big city like S City, people from all over the world gather people from all over the world.
Aunt Liu's husband died young and had no children. During the Chinese New Year, he did not leave the Qian family. Instead, he took care of Qian Mo and others as always. Therefore, she took care of all the New Year's affairs in the Qian family.
Hearing that Han Chongyuan said that she was going to take Meng En to buy New Year's goods, she laughed: "What kind of New Year's goods are we buying now? We bought New Year's goods at that time because we didn't have any space to buy things during the New Year's Day, but now there is a supermarket. The door is still open on New Year's Eve, and there is no shortage of food and drink at home, so what should I buy?"
"Aunt Liu, what did you buy for the New Year at that time?" Meng En asked curiously. Li Shuyun himself is not a New Year's Eve. Every time during the Chinese New Year, he will take him to Meng Jianjin's place. Although he can eat some delicious food, he will never feel good. Sometimes Meng Jianjin brings Cheng Ningshan, Meng Meng and others to the place. If he was eating out, he had to wait foolishly in the cold wind.
"At that time, we actually didn't buy many things for the New Year, and we started to prepare it as soon as we entered December. Some people were even earlier. First, they had to prepare a pig head or a piece of pork to marinate and wait for the New Year to worship their ancestors, and then go 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 from S. The city is not far: "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 blessing characters or something."
"Yeah, everyone didn't have money back then," Qian Mo also remembered a little, "I remember when I was a child, I went to visit relatives during the New Year's Eve, and the table was mainly vegetables, turnips, tofu, and just a bowl of pork or chicken, and adults often didn't eat it. Even a child can eat a piece. Sometimes when Komatsu wants to eat a piece, my dad will give him a kick under the table. There is also fish, most of the time the fish on the table is raw, what is it called? Fish, put it out and watch every time a guest comes." When referring to his younger brother Qian Song, Qian Mo couldn't help sighing.
Qian Mo and Aunt Liu both felt a little embarrassed when they talked about the previous Chinese New Year. Han Chongyuan glanced at Meng En who was listening carefully to Qian Mo's words, 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 and other things. 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. Knowing that he was going to eat out most of the time, Han Chongyuan asked Aunt Liu to prepare some food in advance. Therefore, he did not go home after buying the fireworks, but took Meng En to a nearby house. restaurant.
Meng En ordered two dishes while looking at the menu, and after the bodyguards also sat down at another table, Han Chongyuan took out a lunch box of sushi.
Han Chongyuan didn't eat outside food, but he was not disgusted with the food cooked by Aunt Liu. Qian Mo is very busy. When he was a child, he was basically carried by Aunt Liu. In his last life, Aunt Liu had always stood by his side. Even if he was hit by a big blow later, he would not hate Aunt Liu. It's a pity that Aunt Liu is old and illiterate. In the end, she didn't help him. Instead, she was sent away by Li Xiaoxiao to take care of her.
The sushi made by Aunt Liu is obviously not of the same level as the food made by Meng En.
The sushi has been cut, and each piece is the size of a pinky finger. The white rice is packed with several condiments, including the cucumbers marinated by Aunt Liu.
Of course, if Aunt Liu didn't put some precious condiments, no matter how good sushi tasted, it was essentially just a portable rice ball. In fact, it was not as good as a hot meal.
Meng En sat opposite Han Chongyuan. He ordered two dishes, one was boiled pork slices, and the other was fish-flavored shredded pork. At the moment, the tip of his nose was sweating, and the fragrance made Han Chongyuan want to go home and let him go. Aunt Liu made boiled fish for herself.
Although the dish was very fragrant, Meng En's hot tears came out. When ordering, 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 condiments were added. .
There are slices of meat floating in the red soup, and soybean sprouts are spread under the slices of meat. This dish looks very spicy, which makes people dare not bite, but it is very enjoyable to eat, but Meng En used to eat spicy opportunities. There are very few, so even if the two dishes in front of him are less spicy, he is still a little bit overwhelmed.
But he was reluctant to eat it. After all, these two dishes tasted very good and the price was expensive...
Pick up the bean sprouts and the sliced meat, wait for all the soup on top to drip before Meng En dares to eat it, and then immediately put a mouthful of white rice...
Spicy things are often appetizing, and Meng En ended up eating four small bowls of rice in one go. Of course, there was a reason why he couldn't bear leftovers.
"We'll set off fireworks after we've finished eating." Han Chong said from afar. Fireworks can't be set off in urban areas, but there are places in the suburbs. He brought Meng En out this time because he wanted to set off fireworks - to take people he likes to see fireworks , is said to be a very romantic thing.
"The ones we bought?" Meng En asked subconsciously.
"Of course." Han Chongyuan pulled the man into the car and kissed Meng En's lips while Zhao Ying hadn't arrived at the checkout: "Spicy."
Meng En was taken aback by Han Chongyuan's behavior, and he forgot to keep asking until he saw that Han Chongyuan moved all those fireworks to a clearing.
"Should we bring some back and put them with Auntie?" Meng En took Han Chongyuan's hand.
"No, and no fireworks are allowed there." Han Chongyuan touched Meng En's head and lit a can of fireworks.
He remembered that Han Chongyuan spent more than 400 yuan on such a fireworks! When Meng En saw Han Chongyuan buying fireworks in a big way, he thought it was because Qian Mo wanted to see it, or the company needed it, so he didn't stop him at all, but now, Han Chongyuan set all the fireworks in front of him. Those fireworks, plus Up to three thousand dollars!
The fireworks are really beautiful. Meng En still remembers that he even waited for hours in the nearby square in winter to watch the fireworks, but they were free fireworks... and now, as long as he thinks of it, he will let it go. After three thousand yuan, Meng En couldn't help feeling 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 made a direct decision. After he got to the cinema, he chose a comedy that he and Meng En watched together many years later.
It was the twenty-ninth year of the year, and many people were on holiday, so the cinema was very lively. Han Chongyuan couldn't buy a ticket for a good seat, so he sat in the back corner with Meng En.
There was a funny plot playing on the screen, but Meng En was in a trance-for the first time, he knew that watching movies was so expensive...
Although he noticed Meng En's painful expression, Han Chongyuan only thought that Meng En was cute, 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 went wrong with Yuanmeng, Qi An'an would definitely contact him as soon as possible. .
Meng En noticed Han Chongyuan's good mood and made him swallow what he was about to say. Although he thinks setting off fireworks is too wasteful, if Han Chongyuan likes it, what qualifications does he have to stop him? It wasn't 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 activities such as ancestor worship and kitchen **** worship during the New Year, but no one will omit the New Year's Eve. Evening dinner, Aunt Liu made a very hearty meal that day.
In the spacious villa restaurant, 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.
When Qian Mo saw the number displayed on the phone, the smile on the corner of her mouth faded. Ever since Han Chongyuan said something at that banquet during the summer vacation, the rift between Han Shen and her has grown bigger and bigger.
When she first learned about her son's life before his rebirth, Qian Mo still thought that she could 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 be compared to the parents who gave birth to him and raised him? And Han Xingmiao... Han Shen has raised Han Xingmiao for so many years, and spent so much effort for the frail and sickly Han Xingmiao, I am afraid that his feelings for Han Xingmiao are more than his own son!
"Is something wrong?" Qian Mo finally answered the phone.
"Qian Mo, you didn't even come back for the New Year!" Han Shen gritted his teeth and said, his parents said that if Qian Mo and Han Chongyuan came back to apologize, they would forgive the past, and as a result Qian Mo didn't even go home for the New Year.
"Han Shen, that's not my house, and you haven't come back even for the New Year?" Qian Mo sneered.
"Qian Mo, what do you mean? You don't want to be with me?" Han Shen was also very angry, why is his house not Qian Mo's house?
"I want to ask you this, Han Shen, if you really think our mother and son are annoying, then get a divorce." Qian Mo said, she has been enduring the small difficulties of 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 heartless... Xingmiao said before that you encouraged Yuanmeng to target Hailing, but I still don't believe it, but now it seems that this is also true. Really..." Han Shendi's voice was a little tired: "Qian Mo, Chongyuan is still young, do you really plan to indulge him like this? Are you not afraid that you will end up pampering him too much and make him make a big mistake?"
Han Xingmiao opened an electronics company called Hailing, Han Shen knew about it, and even borrowed two million to Han Xingmiao.
Seeing Han Xingmiao opening a factory, Han Shen couldn't help being proud of him, but he didn't expect that Hailing had not opened 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 has just graduated from high school in the 18th century, yet he can be the technical director of Yuanmeng. Han Shen can't believe that there is no Qian Mo's handwriting here!
It's nothing for Qian Mo to arrange Han Chongyuan into the fate dream. After knowing that Hailing is Han Xingmiao's, she should condone Han Chongyuan against Hailing!
"You don't even believe in your own son?" Qian Mo sighed. Han Chongyuan used to be so good in front of Han Shen, but he didn't expect that Han Shen didn't believe him at all... She had already shown weakness to Han Shen and said that she He and 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 now a complete villain, 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 can coax her when she's angry." Han Guangtao said, he doesn't like Qian Mo, and even hates this daughter-in-law, but he won't let his son really get away from Qian Mo. After all, Qian Mo's current net worth far exceeds that of the Han family. .
Hearing what his father said, Han Shen had a greater opinion on Qian Mo. Even for the grievances Qian Mo received before, he felt that Qian Mo was too hard-tempered or misinterpreted the meaning of his parents.
"Uncle, it's all my fault, if I hadn't said about Hailing..." Han Xingmiao looked guilty.
"Xingmiao, this 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, but his wife and children were not around, and his wife even proposed a divorce to him, which made him a little absent-minded, and the atmosphere of the Han family was not as good as before.
At this time, Qian Mo and others had already finished the New Year's Eve dinner.
Qian Mo's hometown doesn't have the tradition of making dumplings during the Chinese New Year. They don't even keep watch at night, but they are 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 faint envy, but he actually missed Li Shuyun somewhat. Li Shuyun did treat him very badly, but after all, Li Shuyun raised him, and Li Shuyun occasionally treats him well... However, Li Shuyun should wish he didn't exist, right?
Thinking of this, Meng En couldn't help feeling a little down.
"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 Zhongyuan said. Ever since he learned about the virtues of the Li family, Han Chong would send something to Li Shuyun during Chinese New Year and festivals, so that the Li family would think that Meng Jianjin had not forgotten about Li Shuyun, and then treat Li Shuyun better, so that Li Shuyun would definitely not 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 wasn't very interested in the Spring Festival Gala, so Han Chongyuan let him go to sleep after nine o'clock. When Meng En left, he came to Qian Mo's side: "What did Han Shen say?"
"He said that I encouraged Yuanmeng to find trouble with Hailing." Qian Mo sneered.
"Really? Then I'll be too sorry for him if I don't do this." Han Chongyuan smiled immediately. He had gone through a lot of connections and asked the police to check the source of those fakes. Han Xingmiao was probably worried, so he said this in front of Han Shen.
Han Xingmiao vaccinated in front of Han Shen and the others and said that Yuanmeng was going to trouble him, so that when the police found them, others might think that Yuanmeng framed him, and those who thought he was pitiful , should also help him clean up and help Hailing get through the difficulties.
If it is more ideal, maybe he, the son, will pick up Hai Ling high and gently put it down in order not to leave a good impression on Han Shen.
But could he possibly do that?
Han Xingmiao probably thought that he could only deal with Hailing by checking the source of the fake goods? It also underestimates them.
