Chapter 404: Going South
Chapter 404: Going south
The more Cao Yufeng planned his life, the more he worked towards this goal, the more he became cautious and did not dare to let any matter delay his pace, so he lived a little tired. In contrast, Xia Ding was always not a good person, wandering around in the flowers and unrestrained, spending most of his time picking up girls instead of working, and he seemed to live a carefree life very relaxed.
Everyone has their own choices. Qin Sheng dares not say who is wrong or who is right. After all, they are still young now, and it will take at least twenty or thirty years to make a judgment. Maybe Cao Yufeng, who is tired now, was more relaxed at that time, and Xia Ding at that time might not be as happy as he is now.
Qin Sheng can't control others now, just like today. Although they finally got angry, Qin Sheng owed Ma Weiyang's favor and Song Hesheng's favor. Sooner or later, this favor must be paid back. So what he can do is to make himself stronger as soon as possible so that he can have more choices.
When he returned to the Qin family's courtyard, Qin Sheng realized that the courtyard full of big red lanterns was particularly beautiful at night. If he didn't look up at the tall buildings in the distance, he would be like returning to the ancient boudoir courtyard.
Qin Changan has not come back yet. It seems that as long as he goes out at night, Qin Changan will come back very late. In the living room, someone is concentrating on watching a variety show, but he is a little less ladylike. Of course, there is no one else except Qin Ran.
"Sister, have you been back so early?" Qin Sheng came in and saw his sister lying on the sofa holding a pillow and laughing non-stop. There were a lot of fruits and snacks on the table. It was rare to see her sister's comforting side. Qin Sheng said funny.
Qin Ran looked up and replied, "I just stayed there for a while. Besides, when you made such a fuss, everyone was no longer interested, so they left early. They went to the Gongtai bar. I thought it was boring and came back."
"Did I do something wrong today?" Qin Sheng sat next to him and said carefully, like a child who did something wrong.
Qin Ran said laughing and cryingly, "Nothing is wrong. Your friend is bullied. If you sit idly by, that's wrong."
Qin Sheng then said with peace of mind, "Thanks to you and Sister Mawei, and the man from the Song family today. Otherwise, if I were alone there, I would have to take care of it. I was a little impulsive at that time."
"Don't think so much. This is the case in this circle. You will gradually understand in the future. Chen Taihe may not fight for Du Xuan and the others. He is just for the sake of face. This is his prestige in the circle. Song Hesheng is the same. He is not helping you, but for himself." Qin Ran explained with a smile.
Qin Sheng thoughtfully said, "Do I need to thank him if I look back?"
"Don't be so deliberate. Just say something casually when you see me next time, but he may not appreciate it. I guess he doesn't have a good impression of you," Qin Ran said with interest.
Qin Sheng said inexplicably, "Why? Is it because of this? No matter who is present today, I will do this. At worst, I can turn back and apologize. Even if I kowtow and admit my mistake, it would be fine, but I would definitely do that at that time."
Qin Ran thought of Song Ruyu, and guessed that Qin Sheng was so fussing today, Song Hesheng was even more dissatisfied with Qin Sheng. Of course, she would not explain, but just said happily, "You will know in the future."
The siblings chatted for a while and then got off. Qin Ran told Qin Sheng about the specific arrangements for tomorrow. He went out to pay New Year's greetings at 8 o'clock, went to the two families first, and finally had lunch at his uncle's house, and then came back to entertain guests.
The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Ran took Qin Sheng out. Gongsun prepared gifts as usual. Qin Ran was very familiar with the several families he was going to. Today, it was not an old man, but two men of the same generation who were close to Qin Changan. Qin Changan had their own arrangements for the rest. Qin Ran and Qin Sheng were going to have to go to, otherwise if each family had to go, the two brothers would not be exhausted.
Qin Changan also greeted Qin Ran and Qin Sheng in advance, so everything went smoothly. Qin Sheng was very concerned about his health by the elders of the two families. The identities of these two people were not simple. After all, Qin Changan could let Qin Sheng go to pay New Year's greetings, so he naturally had his ideas.
Finally, the siblings rushed to a military compound before noon, which was their uncle's house. Qin Ran was very familiar with this and was familiar with it and reported it in.
In the second-story building, except for Zhu Weiguo, everyone else had been waiting for Qin Sheng and Qin Ran. Today, Wu Yajun cooked in person, and the two daughters-in-law helped to help. The nanny had already gone home for the New Year, but she had prepared everything she should have prepared in advance.
"Mom, Ranran and Xiaoshengzi are here." After Qin Sheng and Qin Ran came in, Zhu Qingyuan hurriedly caught them, and Zhu Fengyuan ran into the kitchen to inform him.
Wu Yajun and his two daughters-in-law quickly put down their things and walked out, laughing and said, "You are quite on time, lunch will be ready soon. Sit in the living room for a while and ask your two cousins to chat with you first."
"Aunt, I'll help you." Qin Ran said with a smile and was about to walk to the kitchen.
Wu Yajun said angrily, "Are you sure you didn't help me? I've been in the kitchen several times since I was a child. The first time I helped me, I almost ordered the kitchen. I don't know you."
Qin Ran burst out laughing and said, "It's still my aunt who understands me, so let's enjoy it."
Qin Sheng did not forget to finish the fight and said, "Sister, you still have such a tough past. It's already polite to my aunt not letting you in. If I go back, I'll teach you how to cook."
"Where you go, cooking is amazing. I'll just find a husband who can cook in the future." Qin Ran glared at Qin Sheng and snorted coldly.
After the two sat down, Zhu Qingyuan poured them two cups of tea, and his second cousin's wife washed some fruits and gave them out. Qin Ran asked casually, "Cousin, where is uncle, I won't go to express my condolences, right?"
"I set off early yesterday morning. This year is already done. I didn't come back two years ago. So, we are benefiting from your siblings this year," Zhu Qingyuan said with a smile.
Qin Ran sighed and said, "Oh, I thought my uncle would accompany us to Shanghai to pay New Year's greetings to my grandmother this year."
"The old man happened to be in Jiangsu before the New Year, so he took the time to go to Shanghai. The old ladies have become accustomed to it for so many years. This year, you two are the most important protagonists, so it doesn't matter whether the old man goes or not," Zhu Fengyuan quipped with a smile.
"I'm not the protagonist, the old lady doesn't care about me, someone is the protagonist this year. I'm afraid that the old lady will prepare antihypertensive medicine in advance," Qin Sheng stared at Qin Sheng and covered his mouth and chuckled, then asked again, "Who will accompany us?"
Zhu Qingyuan replied, "Your aunt must stay at home to receive guests. Fengyuan will return to the army in the afternoon. There is only three days off, and there is still someone to help at home, so I can only take your sister-in-law and I to Shanghai with your children. We haven't seen the old lady for several months."
Qin Ran understands these words from my cousin. It is rare to have a chance to reunite in such a family. Many families in this 49 city are like this. The country and the country have been in dilemma since ancient times. She sighed and said, "I will send a car to pick you up and my sister-in-law tomorrow morning."
At this time, Zhu Fengyuan's wife walked out of the kitchen and said, "It's time to have a meal."
Everyone then moved to the restaurant...
The atmosphere of lunch was very warm. Everyone here was family, so there was no need to be afraid of any identity. Moreover, Zhu Weiguo was not here. These juniors were not under much pressure and were talking freely and making jokes. Qin Sheng accompanied his two cousins to drink some wine, but knew that his second cousin was going back to the army in the afternoon, so he ordered it and was not greedy.
After lunch, Qin Ran took Qin Sheng back to the courtyard. Several guests also came to the Zhu family building, all of whom were Wu Yajun's nephews.
When I returned to Siheyuan, compared to yesterday, there were many guests coming to the Qin family today. The market was crowded with people. It was very lively. Qin Changan was a little tired when facing so many guests. Moreover, he came back late last night and didn’t have a good rest. Fortunately, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran came back at this time, which made Qin Changan feel relieved.
During dinner, the children of Qin Changan who stayed at Qin's family for dinner were all the children of Qin Changan, and they had to drink some of them during the Chinese New Year. Qin Changan had not recovered from his alcohol last night, so he went upstairs to rest after a while, leaving only Qin Sheng and Qin Ran to accompany him. These people were familiar with Qin Ran, and it was the first time he saw Qin Sheng. He was shocked when he learned about Qin Sheng's identity.
So, the final result was that Qin Sheng was often drunk by these men. After all, the relationship between men had to be maintained by wine. Qin Ran couldn't help because he had to take care of the two women. It was already nine o'clock when the dinner ended. He sent several guests out and watched them get in the car. Qin Sheng fell directly into his sister's arms, completely unconscious, which made Qin Ran feel very distressed.
When Qin Ran and Gongsun helped Qin Sheng in, Qin Sheng vomited so much that he was so angry that Qin Ran almost smashed Qin Chang'an's door. You were relieved and asked my brother to suffer for you. Fortunately, Gongsun stopped him.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is advisable to travel far.
Although he took a hot bath and drank two bowls of porridge, Qin Sheng's alcohol was still not relieved, and he was very tired and exhausted. Qin Changan sat on the sofa in the living room and reminded him about going to Shanghai, what was for the old lady and what was for their aunt and uncle. Of course, there were other tasks to go to Shanghai. Qin Ran glared at Qin Changan angrily, obviously not forgiving him yet. Qin Changan had been used to it for a long time, so he completely ignored it.
"I've gone to Shanghai, don't say bad things to your grandmother. The old lady doesn't like me at all." After arranging the matter, Qin Changan smiled and joked, wanting to ease his relationship with his daughter, although he knew it was futile.
Qin Ran sneered, "You are not going out, how do you know if I will say it?"
"I want to go, but the old lady may not see me," Qin Changan sighed.
Qin Ran gloated and said, "Oh, this time it's not necessarily the case. My uncle has come to our house for the New Year, you can try it."
"Hahaha, I'll wait for you to go. I'll consider it again." Qin Changan was not fooled. He was not turned away once or twice, and he couldn't leave even the New Year.
Qin Ran was quarreling with Qin Changan, and then he was satisfied and said, "Okay, I will plead for my grandmother. It's almost done, we should leave too."
Qin Sheng didn't say anything, so he didn't care about it now, and had a headache and stomach. He had to adjust his condition quickly. If he arrived in Shanghai and continued drinking at night, it would be embarrassing.
Qin Changan walked up to Qin Sheng at this time and said earnestly, "The old lady should be very happy to see you. You are her favorite grandson. You can stay in Shanghai for a few more days and spend a good time with the elderly. After all, it has been more than 20 years."
Qin Sheng was inexplicably a little heavy. During this period, he heard many interesting things about childhood. The most common thing was how much grandparents loved him, so when they were about to see his grandmother, Qin Sheng was a little nervous, afraid that the elderly would be disappointed.
Setting off and heading to the airport, Qin Changan arranged two bodyguards to travel with him this time. After all, he was in Shanghai, and there was also the threat from the Yan family, so you have to be careful.
He and Gongsun Mu came back after watching the brother and brother leave. When Qin Sheng saw the old lady, the debt of favors from the Qin and Zhu families for more than 20 years was really over.
Arriving at the airport at 11 o'clock, Zhu Qingyuan and his wife had been waiting for a long time with their children. After they met, they passed the security check on the plane and took off soon.
Qin Sheng looked at the city of Beijing that was getting farther and farther away. Thinking of the past events in Shanghai, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and said, "Shanghai, I'm back."
