Chapter 97 New Year’s Eve (Part 1)
New Year's Eve.
Nine o'clock in the morning, Shuxiangyayuan.
Chen Tao drove the car downstairs and called Qiao Yingzi, asking her to come down quickly to get her things.
"Mom, my dad is here. You two are not allowed to quarrel today."
After giving the warning, Qiao Yingzi happily ran out of the house, took the elevator downstairs, and went to find her father.
When she got downstairs, the girl saw her father taking things out one by one from the trunk.
Basically food and drinks.
Of course, there are also a few couplets and some blessing characters.
Fangyuan happened to be passing by at this time.
After Qiao Yingzi took a few things and left, he couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Old Qiao, are you... planning to celebrate the New Year at Song Qian's place?"
"I was invited by Yingzi to come over to spend the New Year with her, not Song Qian."
"Haha, even if you really want to accompany Yingzi, your behavior also caused the fact that you are accompanying Song Qian. Aren't you afraid that Xiao Lin will be jealous?"
"You don't know this. Xiaolin knows, understands, and supports all my decisions. She doesn't mind me coming here."
"Is it true? You are too capable! Tell me quickly, how did you do it?"
"No, I will never teach my methods to married men, so as not to cause disharmony in their families."
"Oh, I really envy you! You have one at home and another one outside. It's really hard for a man to do what you do..."
"That's not right!"
Chen Tao retorted: "You are still an old legal officer, how can you talk in vain? We have to prove it! I am devoted to my Xiaolin, and she is the only one in the family. How can I raise another one outside?"
Fangyuan laughed dryly and said: "The one in your family is not Song Qian..."
Chen Tao smiled and asked: "Excuse me, Lawyer Fangyuan, what is the relationship between me and Song Qian after the marriage is dissolved? Can she be considered a member of my family?"
Fangyuan shook his head and said: "I haven't even passed the bar exam, so what kind of lawyer am I? As for you and Song Qian... I really feel that something is wrong with you two!"
Chen Tao was too lazy to argue anymore, and Qiao Yingzi happened to go downstairs again, so he interrupted his chat with Fangyuan and took the remaining things up with Qiao Yingzi.
Room 403.
In the original plot, Song Qian was depressed because her daughter suffered from depression and tried to jump into the sea, and she was too lazy to clean up the house for the New Year.
But it's different now.
When Chen Tao entered the room, she was holding a rag, wiping here and there, looking very busy.
"Oh, I'm so tired!"
Chen Tao sat down on the sofa without any intention of taking action.
In his family, Miss Lin does the housework, and he is the master. He can't come here, so he becomes a grandson, right?
This is unfair to Miss Lin.
"Dad, do you want orange juice or peach juice?"
Qiao Yingzi stood by the refrigerator, preparing to pour juice for his father.
"I want peach juice."
Peach juice... By the way, Huang Zhitao has returned to her grandma's house, otherwise Chen Tao would definitely visit her.
One minute later.
The father and daughter sat together and watched Song Qian doing housework.
ten minutes later.
After the father and daughter drank the juice, they went to post Spring Festival couplets outside the door.
Second floor, Fang's house.
Fang Yifan was playing games, and his cousin Lin Leier sat aside to rest after helping with the cleaning.
Tong Wenjie and Fangyuan were chatting quietly in the room.
"Haha, what are you thinking about? You men all like young and beautiful ones. Qiao Weidong is so rich. Even if Xiao Lin is gone, there will still be Xiao Huang and Xiao Wang... It is impossible for him to like Song Qian anymore."
"What about Song Qian? She has been single for so many years and hasn't said anything about finding another one. Will she still be thinking about Lao Qiao?"
"What are you talking about! What's wrong with Song Qian being single? Does staying single mean she misses her ex-husband? She stays single just for her daughter, and it has nothing to do with Qiao Weidong. Besides, a scumbag like him is not worthy of being missed by others. "
"Lao Qiao is sorry for Song Qian, but he is also really good to Yingzi."
"Well, the better he treats Yingzi, the more headache I have. You said he can just live a good life with that little vixen, why does he have to come back to find Yingzi? If he really likes children, why don't he just do it? It's not like raising children. Sorry."
"Do you still think about that?"
"Why don't you want to? Yingzi is such a good girl, if I don't want to, then what else can I think about? Can you guarantee that Fanfan can be admitted to a good university this year, guarantee that he can be admitted to a good art school next year, and guarantee that he will have good fortune after graduation Prospect? Let me tell you, if we can't find him a good wife and we can't provide much help, then he will have to rely on Lei'er for help in the future. "
"Lei'er? Alas, Wenjie, you're thinking too far. Lei'er has a father who breaks his bones and connects his tendons. Maybe you're going to get nothing with a bamboo basket."
"His father has called me three times in the past six months. How good can we be with him in the future? Don't worry, Lei'er is already a member of our family. He will be successful in the future. If you want to help, you will also be helping our family."
Tong Wenjie is very optimistic.
Fangyuan is not optimistic.
Do you think that the relationship you have been together for one year can surpass the father-son relationship and the family relationship that has lasted nearly twenty years?
Don't say that people don't have family affection. Lin Lei'er's mother died not long ago. Did she not have any family affection at all before that?
If this is the case, how have you spent these ten years?
Aunt like you, why didn't you go to help earlier?
It’s very unreliable when you think about it.
But Fangyuan didn't want to go into details.
There is nothing I can do about my wife.
So, he changed the topic and said:
"Wait a minute, do you want us to carry something up and chat with them? It would be even better if we could have a New Year's Eve dinner together in the evening, there are so many people and it's so lively!"
Tong Wenjie said angrily: "You just want to join in the fun. Your son plays mobile games every day recently, so you just ignore him?"
‘What do I care about? I have always been the sweetheart, the nice word, and the role of a loving father. But you are the white-faced boy, the strict mother, and you should be in charge. ’
Fangyuan cursed in her heart, but she kept saying:
"Let him play for a while today. I will find a chance to talk to him in two days."
Tong Wenjie still complained: "If you could spend less time playing with flowers, birds, fish and insects in the past and focus more on Fanfan's academic performance, then I wouldn't have to worry so much now."
‘I’m the only one who plays together, and you’re not just having fun when you’re doing all kinds of shopping? ’
Fangyuan said depressedly: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I will drain the water in the fish tank immediately and throw away the fish."
Only then did Tong Wenjie feel satisfied.
More than an hour later.
Room 403.
Eat the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, and just have one bite at noon.
Chen Tao cooked a pot of noodles, fried three steaks and three eggs, and poured himself a glass of sparkling wine.
After eating and drinking like this, you can just take a comfortable nap.
Qiao Yingzi drank orange juice and boldly said to Song Qian:
"Mom, you also have a drink with my dad..."
