Living conditions were getting better every year.
However, the festive atmosphere was getting worse every year.
Xu Qing looked at the night sky outside. He did not feel the festive atmosphere of the past at all.
Last year, there were colorful flags fluttering on the streets to celebrate the Spring Festival. Now, there were only a few lonely red lanterns hanging.
There was no snow this year either …
There were two light snowfalls a few days ago, but they did not accumulate. Jiang He's wish to play on the ice was dashed.
"The festive atmosphere will be gone if fireworks are banned."
"It's better if it's banned. It's so annoying that it crackles until midnight every day."
"I've aged another year, but I don't feel anything …"
"What do you want to feel, kid?"
"It's a pity. Thinking back to the Spring Festival in the past, we were all jubilant. When we bought meat, we would bring a pig's hind leg from the market. Now, life is no different from usual. "
Xu Qing left the window and wandered into the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. He was disappointed. Everything that could be eaten was in the pot, and those that were on the chopping board could not be eaten.
The family's dinner was ready. Jiang He wiped his hands and sat down with a silly smile on his face. Xu Qing found it strange.
Why was he so happy after eating a rainbow fart?
"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang He noticed the strange look in his eyes.
"What else am I looking at?"
"Dinner."
They were still waiting for Xu Wenbin to wash his hands. Zhou Suzhi tapped on her phone and said, "Oh right, let's add Zhifu as a friend. I haven't added you yet."
"Okay."
Jiang He already had his own Zhi Fu Bao, so he was very happy raising chicks. When he heard Zhou Suzhi's words, he happily took out his phone.
Xu Qing quietly looked away.
Zhou Suzhi must want to steal energy. Coincidentally, Jiang He also liked to steal from him.
Let's steal from each other.
He did not know if Jiang He would save some face for the old lady.
More than a decade ago, it was popular to add friends to steal vegetables and grab parking spaces. Now, it was popular to raise chickens to collect energy.
There was also the Five Blessings collection, which was similar to the crispy noodle snack card collection.
History was always like a cycle of reincarnation.
Xu Qing unlocked his phone in disdain and stored all his energy, not letting them steal it.
"Just a little?"
Xu Wenbin took out a bottle of Sea Blue and placed it on the table. It had a soft texture. Xu Qing turned to look at Jiang He, but Jiang He lowered his head and refused to look at him.
"Yes, just a little."
Xu Qing's words made Jiang He heave a sigh of relief and sneak a glance at him.
She made it sound like she wasn't allowed to drink and was being very strict.
"Don't drink so much!" Zhou Suzhi didn't care so much and said directly.
"Not much, just a few sips."
"That's right, that's right. It would be a waste if we don't drink some of the dishes on the table."
It was deep into the night outside, and the wind was exceptionally cold.
The lights were on in the room, and the heater was hot. It was like a completely different world from the outside world that was separated by a wall.
He slowly tasted the wine in the small wine cup. Drinking a little in the winter would make his whole body feel refreshed.
Half a bottle of wine was consumed. Xu Wenbin's face was slightly red, and he no longer looked as serious as before. He revealed a happy expression, and even his eyebrows were slightly raised.
To be honest, it had been more than half a month now, and he was still a little confused about Xu Qing and Jiang He's marriage certificate. He hadn't gotten into the mood, or rather, he wasn't ready to change his identity.
Sometimes, when he sat alone and thought about this matter, he would suddenly feel … an indescribable feeling. It was very subtle.
The son that he had raised for more than 20 years suddenly got married.
Then, he was happy.
His gaze swept across the faces of Jiang He and Xu Qing. Xu Wenbin felt that this thing called fate was indeed mysterious.
Xu Qing had always been frivolous, and Jiang He wasn't an ordinary girl either. Their lives were full of twists and turns, and they were both troublemakers.
Yet, when they were together, it was just right. It seemed like a negative and a negative was a positive?
He sighed and took a sip from the small wine cup. He felt that this was fate, and it was wonderful.
"Playing too many games will lead to violence. You should practice boxing. Be careful. You should control your temper after getting married."
Hearing Xu Wenbin's words, Xu Qing couldn't help but glance at Jiang He.
"Violence?"
According to the facts, playing games was the best way to solve violence.
A female hero would play games all day long, and she was too lazy to even practice her sword.
"No, it's beneficial to the body and mind."
"What's beneficial about it? You just sit there every day."
"Isn't playing mahjong the same? Sitting there for a whole day is just playing. "
"You only know how to argue."
"What I said is the truth. How am I raising it?" Xu Qing said matter-of-factly, "I didn't have games in the past, and I still played marbles all day long. When it's time to play, I can play with a piece of paper for an entire afternoon."
"…"
Xu Wenbin took a sip of wine and ate two mouthfuls of food without speaking to him.
Ever since Xu Qing became financially independent, it was hard to control him anymore, not to mention that they were now married and had their marriage certificate.
Although they hadn't held a wedding ceremony yet, in the current environment, the significance of getting a marriage certificate was greater than holding a wedding ceremony … Some people had simple weddings, and there were many young people who got married in various ways.
They didn't have in-laws … If they held a wedding ceremony, it would just be the two of them going through the motions and having some fun.
Xu Wenbin felt a little regretful that they didn't have in-laws …
If Xu Qing knew about his regret, he couldn't help but comfort him, "It's okay, maybe you'll find me someday."
After a thousand years, there wasn't so much to pay attention to. They were all historical figures.
Zhou Suzhi and Jiang He finished eating and sat for a while to drink a bowl of soup. Seeing that the father and son were still leisurely eating, drinking, and chatting, she ignored them and sat on the sofa to rest and watch TV together.
They drank two-thirds of the bottle of wine before Zhou Suzhi put it away and stopped them from drinking anymore.
Xu Qing's face was also a little red, but his eyes were sparkling. The more he drank, the more energetic he became. He put down the bowl, cleaned the table, and came out of the kitchen humming a song.
In the eyes of the old couple, they had already started their married life, but the truth was that they were still a little short.
Just a little short.
"Let's go back."
"Okay."
"Be careful on the way back."
"Okay, Auntie."
When they came out of the house, the cold wind blew. Xu Qing wrapped his clothes. "You still call me Auntie?"
"I'll change it after the wedding ceremony. I still have to serve tea, and there's a fee."
“？”
Xu Qing didn't expect her to know so much. "How did you know?"
"I looked it up on the internet."
Jiang He walked in front with his hands behind his back and shook his head proudly. "You want to trick me? No way."
"Are you happy today?"
"Yes."
"Okay …"
As they spoke, they walked to the door. A dark and swarthy figure came towards them. Qin Hao was so cold that he was shivering. He walked over with his clothes wrapped around his waist.
It wasn't so cold when they went out. The temperature dropped too much at night.
"Are you going back with your girlfriend?" He casually greeted them. The two of them were wrapped tightly in hats and scarves. If he wasn't familiar with them, he probably wouldn't recognize them.
"No." Xu Qing shook his head.
"Huh?"
Qin Hao was a little surprised. Then he heard Xu Qing continued, "I'm going back with my wife."
"…"
Damn it.
Qin Hao said angrily, "Who doesn't have one? Look at how smug you are. I just sent my wife back."
"No, that's your girlfriend." Xu Qing pulled Jiang He's arm and said, "This is my wife."
"…"
