Chapter 17(1/2)
Even though the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, some traditions have been preserved.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, there is still a Spring Festival Gala, but the scale is much smaller.
In the evening, Xu Qiu brought some fruits and nuts, Wang Sulan, Liang Youning, and the family of three to visit Chen Yonghui's house. After the visit, he decided to go home to eat dumplings and watch the party.
In fact, this is Xu Qiu's first visit to Chen Yonghui's house. His family lives in the community opposite and can be reached in a few minutes.
In the past, Chen Yonghui came to look for Xu Qiu, but these days, Chen Yonghui has not answered a single call, and Xu Qiu is a little worried.
I knocked on the door, but it was extremely quiet inside.
After waiting for several minutes, Xu Qiu knocked on the door again.
There was still no one inside, so Xu Qiu shouted, and after a while, he heard footsteps.
The door was opened from the inside, and it was Chen Yonghui.
But when Xu Qiu was shocked when he saw Chen Yonghui's condition.
I saw Chen Yonghui losing weight, he was very haggard and had thick dark circles.
Xu Qiu smiled and said, "Bring some fruits and nuts to visit your mother."
Chen Yonghui lowered his head and said with a low expression, "Come in."
Seeing Chen Yonghui's appearance, Wang Sulan asked with concern, "What happened?"
Chen Yonghui sighed long and said, "My mother, she passed away just now."
This is the first time Xu Qiu and Wang Sulan visited the door, but they didn't expect to encounter this.
After entering the room, Xu Qiu patted Chen Yonghui on the shoulder and said, "Sad"!
Wang Sulan touched Chen Yonghui's head and comforted him, "Xiaohui, don't be too sad. Your mother has been paralyzed for so many years. This trip may be a relief."
"I understand that my mother passed away, and it is a relief for our family."
There were no tears in Chen Yonghui's eyes, only fatigue and helplessness.
As Wang Sulan said, the death of her mother was really a relief for them.
I remember Xu Qiu once asked him, if he used the price of becoming a demon to save his mother, would he accept this result?
But this rough reversal will be completely demonized, and will never be transformed back into humans, and will also lose human memories.
For example, just like a person who was deified by a puppet spider demon, he also became a spider demon and also lost his memory of human beings.
Chen Yonghui still chose to let his mother die as a human. If he survived completely demonized, he would no longer be a human, nor would he be his mother, which was unacceptable.
Chen Yonghui's father walked out of the room, said a few words, and returned to the room.
Xu Qiu and his family also entered the room and saw Chen Yonghui's skinny mother who had passed away.
Xu Qiu remembered that not long ago, Wang Sulan was also seriously ill and bedridden.
If Wang Sulan did not recover, would she die soon?
Fortunately, Wang Sulan recovered.
Although this should not be used to compare this matter.
But when I saw Chen Yonghui's deceased mother, I couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.
Wang Sulan went home and brought some dumplings and sent them to Chen Yonghui's house. She comforted the father and son, and the whole family left.
It was supposed to be a very happy day, but now the atmosphere became dull because of Chen Yonghui's mother's death, especially Wang Sulan, who was depressed.
Xu Qiu said, "Mom, I'm hungry, go and get dumplings. You Ning, turn on the TV, the party is about to begin. I heard that your sister Zichu will appear as one of the hosts tonight."
Wang Sulan walked into the kitchen with a smile, and while putting dumplings, she brought the prepared dishes to the table.
When Liang Youning heard that Yuan Zichu would appear on the camera, she turned on the TV excitedly and anxiously waited for the start of the party.
After a while, the father and daughter came to visit, saying that it was a visit, but in fact they were just coming together for the New Year.
They brought a lot of fruit food, of course, they specially bought a lot of snacks for Liang Youning, and Zhang Yan also carefully bought a lot of supplements for Wang Sulan.
After taking some semi-finished food, he could make it into dishes after a little processing. Then, Zhou Yan and Wang Sulan started working together in the kitchen.
Seeing my mother and Lao Shang looking around in the kitchen, Xu Qiu felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but stare at me.
Shang Xue smiled and said, "Xu Qiu, I don't care about my father and your mother anymore. Why are you still jealous? You are going to Qingyun City to go to school soon. Your mother's future time will be my father's. You should ask my father to take care of your mother more."
Xu Qiu snorted coldly and said, "Li is this, but I just feel unhappy."
Shang Xue shook his head helplessly.
"Xu Qiu, I think you should find a girlfriend, don't bother your mother all day long." After looking at Liang Youning, Shang Xue's eyes turned and said, "I understand it very much, right?"
Xu Qiu looked at Shang Xue with contempt and said, "Look at you being serious all day long, I don't know how many evil things you pretend to be in your mind. I think you should be talking about boyfriends. You are 24 years old, so your classmates may be good at making soy sauce, right?"
Shang Xue helplessly spread his hands, "What should I do if no one likes me?"
Xu Qiu looked at Shang Xue and said, "You are just a shortcoming feminine person. In fact, you dress up yourself well. It's a pretty girl. Someone must be chasing you."
Shang Xue looked at his clothes. He was too professional and had short hair. He was not good at dressing up himself. He was indeed not feminine.
"Will anyone chase after me?" Shang Xuewen said.
"Be confident, you are pretty. Learn more about how to put on makeup and dress, and there will be unexpected changes."
Shang Xue bit his lip and said, "My mother passed away early. My father was busy with work all day and would not dress me up like a girl. He became like this when he grew up. To be honest, if I wear a skirt, I would blush."
"What's so shy about this big man? You're a woman, and wearing a skirt is natural. Why are you blushing?"
Shang Xue smiled and nodded.
"I won't talk about this anymore. Congratulations on getting admitted to Red Heart Academy. You are indeed very outstanding."
Xu Qiu waved his hand and said, "I don't think there is anything good about Red Heart Academy. If I hadn't satisfied my mother's vanity, I wouldn't have taken the exam to any college."
"Tsk, if you say this in front of the candidates who fail to get the Red Heart exam, they will call you."
"I can't tell the truth anymore? They like to scold, as long as I don't let me hear it."
At this time, Liang Youning, who had been waiting in front of the TV for a long time, suddenly shouted, "The party has begun, Sister Zichu is coming out!"
On TV, four hosts walked onto the stage, two men and two women.
Yuan Zichu, who usually wears a relatively neutral dress, dressed up specially today.
Although her hair was not long, it was tied up on her head. After she was tall, she also highlighted her good figure after wearing the evening dress.
Yuan Zichu, who was on the party for the first time, showed no stage fright and was very calm and steady.
In recent days, Liang Youning has been often taken out by Yuan Zichu to play, so Liang Youning and Yuan Zichu are also very close.
Seeing Yuan Zichu appear in this way, Liang Youning opened his eyes wide and sighed, "Sister Zichu is so beautiful today."
This reminded Xu Qiu that Yuan Zichu, who had once thought about Liang Youning.
But then a lot of things happened, which made Yuan Zichu change a lot.
However, before Xu Qiu goes to Qingyun City, he must talk to Yuan Zichu well and not let her have any thoughts about Liang Youning.
The sound of firecrackers had already sounded in the community, and the gorgeous fireworks could be seen from the window glass.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually became apparent.
The dishes were ready and the dumplings were put into place, and Wang Sulan took out the drinks and fruits.
Several people sat down and prepared to start dinner. At this time, Xun Yan smiled mysteriously and took out a bottle of white wine from the bottom of the table.
"Xu Qiu, can you drink white wine?" asked Xin Yan.
"It's okay. If you want to drink, I'll drink some with you." Xu Qiu replied indifferently.
Wang Sulan was anxious when she saw this and said, "Xiaoqiu can't drink. He has never drunk alcohol since he was a child."
But Xuan Yan had already poured two glasses of wine and handed Xu Qiu a glass.
"He said he could drink it." Xin Yan said with a smile.
Wang Sulan pinched and said, "You can drink it, don't drink too much."
Unexpectedly, Xu Qiu picked up the two-two-five cup and said, "Come and do it!"
After saying that, he looked over and looked unchanged.
Wang Sulan and Xuan Yan were both shocked when they saw it. Didn’t they say that they had never drunk alcohol since they were young? They looked like they didn’t know how to drink alcohol even though they didn’t change their faces.
"Drink!"
Xu Qiu looked at the cup in Xuan Yan's hand. Xuan Yan was helpless and couldn't lose face in front of Xu Qiu, so he had to follow him and leave.
After drinking this glass, Cheng Yan immediately felt confused. He didn't drink much, and he had never drunk so much.
However, Xu Qiu poured him a cup again. This time, Xu Qiu stood up with a kind of sincere attitude.
"I'm going to the college soon. Please ask Uncle Shang to take care of me at home. I'll give you a cup."
Xu Qiu picked up the wine glass for Xuan Yan, clinked the glasses, and waited for Xuan Yan to drink first.
This cup was even more difficult to shirk, so I picked up the cup and drank it slowly.
