When Qin Yuanqing returned home, it was already dark, and the whole village was enveloped in a festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Every household had festive Spring Festival couplets. From time to time, people set off firecrackers and fireworks. Children were playing everywhere, wearing new clothes. Playing with a toy gun in his hand.

Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but smile. He also came here like this before, but when he was a child, he only had pistols and rifles, and the shapes were not very exquisite. Nowadays, children’s toy guns include submachine guns, sniper rifles, etc., and their shapes are very exquisite.

There are also children who are very happy using remote control electric cars.

Uncle, uncle! The 6-year-old niece, wearing a beautiful dress, trotted over as soon as she saw Qin Yuanqing.

Tingting! Qin Yuanqing picked up his little niece and raised it above his head, making her giggle.

He has been holding his little niece since she was a child, and she is the closest to him. His brother is a bit patriarchal and rarely hugs his daughter.

Brother, hurry up and surround the fire, you are the only one missing! the sister-in-law shouted.

The second brother came out of the kitchen with steamed seafood. Mom and dad were already seated. There was a small stove under the table, and the charcoal was lit. This was the stove. The small stove was burning brightly, which meant a prosperous new year. Prosper.

The eldest brother is serving wine, and there is always more or less wine at the reunion dinner.

As usual in previous years, after they finished surrounding the fire, they went to their uncle's house to sit around the fire in the evening. All the brothers and sisters would be together. This day was also Grandma's happiest day.

Qin Yuanqing hugged his niece and sat down in a seat. His second brother also arranged the seafood and sat down. As a parent, his father poured a glass of wine into the wine glass and said with a smile on his face: Everyone has a happy and healthy new year!

I wish dad good health and all the best in the new year! Qin Yuanqing and others blessed him one after another.

This year's reunion dinner was much richer than in previous years. In addition to lobster, there were also red sturgeon, winter crab, cod, grouper, shrimp, two kinds of vegetables, chicken and duck, and the whole table was filled to the brim.

Qin Yuanqing peeled shrimps for his niece, picked out the bones of the fish, and gave them to her to eat. He also teased her from time to time, making her laugh happily.

Dad was chatting about the past few days. For example, the second brother gave him 50,000 yuan to use for decoration. The eldest brother also said that he would give 20,000 yuan. He planned to decorate around the National Day this year and move into a house at the end of the year. If possible, the second brother's wedding would be together. Get rid of it.

Dad has lived for most of his life. Face is not important anymore. As long as you can get married, nothing else matters. Dad drank more and talked more.

Qin Yuanqing took out the gifts he had prepared and gave them to his parents, brother, sister-in-law and niece. Then he talked about the training camp in the capital, saying that he was doing well in the capital and would definitely win the gold medal in this competition. Then he talked about himself Bought a house in Ludao.

Dad, Mom, I got off the plane at Ludao Airport today. I saw that the houses in Ludao have dropped a lot, so I bought one. I have paid for it in full. Now I am waiting for the property registration to get the three certificates. Qin Yuanqing said : At that time, you can also go to Ludao to live, or you, eldest brother and second brother, can live there too.

I'm watching the news. Now the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has triggered an economic crisis. Many factories have gone bankrupt and workers have lost their jobs. Isn't it too risky to buy a house? Dad worriedly said: And the house at home is large enough to live in. What kind of house should I buy?”

Dad, now is the financial crisis. The sharp fall in house prices is a good opportunity to buy the bottom. The house price here before was over ten thousand per square meter. If you wait until later, you won't be able to afford it. Qin Yuanqing said: I am in the capital. At that time, many teachers and professors were buying houses, so I believe it would be right to follow them.”

Sure enough, when I heard that high-level intellectuals also bought houses, my father suddenly stopped worrying. As a farmer, I think very simply. If you read more books, you must be a smart person. If you follow a smart person, you will not suffer any loss.

And my mother mentioned that she invited a sister to test the other party's attitude two days ago, but the other party did not clearly agree.

When Qin Yuanqing heard this, he laughed: It's a good thing that you don't agree clearly. It means that you won't refuse. This matter is completely funny. After the reunion dinner at grandma's house tonight, I will sit down with you. I believe we can confirm it.

Qin Yuanqing is not a student who knows nothing. After all, he has been in the society for nearly ten years. He knows that the other party is being arrogant. As long as he sits down for a while, gives the other party enough face, and pays more compliments, he will basically be done. You can talk about gifts and the like.

After all, both men and women are in their twenties and seventies. In rural areas, they are considered old men and women. It would not be nice to tell anyone. In fact, in this matter, the parents need to be summoned more than the person involved. They belong to the type where the emperor is not in a hurry but the eunuch is.

Since the other party refuses, forget it. It's not like I don't have a woman, I'm here... The second brother said with an impatient look on his face.

Second brother, you don't have to make the decision in this matter. Just watch! Qin Yuanqing interrupted the second brother. The second brother's mouth was just following his temper instead of his heart.

Sometimes Qin Yuanqing feels that people should read more books to improve their inner cultivation, instead of being ignorant and often doing stupid things.

The second brother had no choice but to drink a glass of wine and stopped talking. Now that he has the lowest status in the family, his words have the least weight, and his words are useless. This is the countryside. When I go home to celebrate the New Year without my girlfriend, I can only keep my head down and keep a low profile, and can't talk too much.

Qin Yuanqing and his parents discussed the decoration time. They could start laying bricks in May and decorate 2 months after the completion of brick laying. Qin Yuanqing took out the renderings he had printed and there were external renderings. , various perspectives, and renderings of each floor and room indoors. According to the budget made by Qin Yuanqing, the entire decoration will probably cost about 300,000 yuan. Including the yard outside, it will cost about 400,000 yuan.

If we wait another seven or eight years, the renovation cost will more than double!

Not only should you buy a house early, but you should also build a house early. The further you go, the higher the price will be, unless it is strictly controlled by the state.

Qin Yuanqing is not worried about not having enough money. Now the family has enough money to lay bricks. When it comes time to renovate, Qin Yuanqing is sure to make enough money.

The family was very satisfied with the decoration plan, and Qin Yuanqing also kept the decoration drawings at home. Anyway, the relevant design information was in his laptop.

This time in the capital, Qin Yuanqing spent 7,000 yuan to buy a laptop. The performance was okay and basically enough. He didn't play games anyway, so the configuration didn't need to be too high.

The eldest brother, second brother and sister-in-law also participated in the discussion enthusiastically. After all, this is where the whole family will live in the future.

The reunion dinner lasted for two hours before it came to an end.

After making tea in the living room, everyone went to uncle's house.

As in previous years, four tables were set up at my uncle's house. Each of the three brothers Qin, Yuanqing and Qin took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to grandma. Other people of the same generation, except for cousins, would give grandma a red envelope whenever they came.

When everyone arrived, grandma greeted everyone to the table. My parents and grandma shared the same table, and Qin Yuanqing and the others of the same generation occupied three tables. Everyone ate and drank. They said they were eating and drinking, but in fact everyone was having a reunion dinner at home, and they are still doing it now. Both were full, and there was more chatting.

And Qin Yuanqing inevitably became the center, praised by his elders and envied by his peers. Qin Yuanqing was helpless. His mind had already matured and he didn't need these compliments.

Among their peers, the two cousins ​​were relatively unlucky. They had very good grades in junior high school. However, due to family reasons, their grades dropped in the third grade of junior high school and they were unable to go to Jinpo No. 1 Middle School. After that, they did not go to high school to work. The two cousins ​​are only one year younger than Qin Yuanqing, and they are twins. Unfortunately, they are not good at studying. The two elder sisters are good at studying, and their test scores are only 40 or 50 points, not even the passing mark. Nowadays, everyone is studying in vocational schools. They say they are studying, but in fact they are just dawdling around and getting a vocational school diploma.

The reunion dinner ended at around nine o'clock. Qin Yuanqing left first with his parents and second brother, heading to the woman's house.

Qin Yuanqing knew that the girl was a primary school classmate with her second brother, and was currently selling fruit on Ludao Island. She was pretty good-looking. Although the woman was the same age as the second brother, she was sitting quietly aside at this time. Both parents seemed to have forgotten their previous displeasure, and they were all laughing and chatting.

Uncle, if Sister Meixiang marries my second brother, our family will definitely regard her as one of our own relatives, and my parents will also regard her as their biological daughter. Qin Yuanqing interjected at the right time: I am in Lu I bought a house on Ludao. If the two of them get married, they can live there in the future and you can rest assured that they will work hard on Ludao.

Qin Yuanqing actually doesn't want his second brother to continue to do seafood. This industry is for young people. When you get older, you can't stay up all night every day, and it's not good for the family. He still hopes that his second brother can find a job in Ludao.

Anyway, they will live in their own place and don't need to pay rent. It will be enough for them to live.

Sure enough, sometimes for more powerful people, it is most appropriate to just give it away. As for the gift, it is also agreed upon, 88888, an auspicious number. Dad agreed without even thinking about it. The parents of both parties agreed on a time to exchange birth dates and start looking for a date.

The second brother kept talking to each other, but the girl didn't say a word of agreement or objection. Not objecting means agreeing.

Qin Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief after solving his second brother's lifelong issue. The parents were also overjoyed, and the woman's parents were also very happy.
