Qin Ma knocked her daughter's head with a chestnut and scolded her softly. "Be serious. Grandpa will be angry."
Qin Bao covered her head and stuck her tongue out at Qin Ma. She kicked her brother angrily.
Qin Ze immediately turned around. "Dad, she's so annoying."
Grandpa Qin pretended to hit his daughter, and she ran away in fear.
They all burst into laughter.
After the big brother's family finished paying their respects, it was the big aunt and little aunt's turn. She was probably asking her father (grandfather) to bless her family and make sure her career was smooth sailing. Little aunt added one more request. She asked their father to bless their son to be obedient and not make his father angry.
Little uncle and cousin had been in a cold war recently and ignored each other. Jiang Cheng stayed at his uncle's house for a week before going home. He really couldn't stand the old man's chicken soup and could only listen. He had been in awe of his uncle since he was young, and it hadn't changed. He dared to talk back to his father, but he didn't dare to talk back to his uncle. Perhaps it was because of the shadow in his heart when he was young. One year, when he played at his uncle's house, he saw how his uncle beat his cousin.
It could also be because of the aura. Little uncle was a businessman, while the old man was a university professor. One was smooth and sly, while the other was rigid and serious.
At this point, the worship was more or less over. A few years ago, they could still set off a string of firecrackers, but now they couldn't.
Grandpa passed away when Qin Ze was in elementary school. He seemed to have died of liver cancer, the kind that was contagious. Qin Ze only went to the hospital a few times, but his family didn't let him go. The old man's appearance in his memory was already blurred.
Then, everyone left the cemetery and drove to Qin Ze's house. They were going to have a meal at the "Qin family". Only then did the worship come to a successful end.
Although it was the anniversary of the old man's death, the atmosphere at the table was very warm. After all, the old man's father had died for so many years, and the sadness had faded long ago. It was rare for relatives to gather together.
"Bao Bao, I told you that you'd be beautiful when you grow up. Look, you're already a big star." Little uncle was a businessman and was very good at drinking.
"Bao Bao, our family has a big star like you. We bring glory to our ancestors. Let me give you a toast as well. "His uncle worked in a state-owned enterprise, and drinking was a compulsory skill.
Both of his uncles were alcoholics. They drank beer like it was water. They often said that beer was only used to moisten the throat. White wine was the drink for men. Old Master was too strict, and they didn't like to drink with Big Brother. Moreover, the old man's expression was a little unnatural.
Qin Ze said in his heart, 'Eldest Uncle, can't you see that my father's face has turned black? You still want to bring honor to our ancestors?'
Qin Bao Bao also likes to drink, this is the reason why Qin Ze does not trust her to play nightclubs.
"Bao Bao's singing is really good. I've been watching it since the first episode." Little Uncle said, "I boasted to my business partners that this is my niece. Hey, no one believed me."
The old man's expression changed slightly. "You already knew that Bao Bao would be on the show?"
Little Uncle was stunned. Aiyo, he let it slip.
The old man looked at his daughter with a murderous look and sneered without saying a word.
Little Uncle hurriedly said, "Azé asked me to keep it a secret. He said that Big Brother doesn't want to Bao Bao to be a star. Actually, it's not a big deal. It's so glorious to be a star."
The old man looked at his son with a murderous look.
Little Uncle's heart hurt.
Qin Ze was angry. "Little Uncle, don't betray me, okay? My father will punish me later."
Eldest Aunt also interrupted, "You're used to it since you were young."
He really wanted to flip the table.
Qin Ze's mouth twitched.
Qin Bao Bao called her cousins to let them know. How could she hide it from her parents? Qin Ze still had to clean up her mess. However, he didn't expect to hide it for so long. It was an unexpected gain that it was revealed on the eve of the finals of Star Singer.
The sister looked at her brother, touched.
Eldest Uncle tried to smooth things over. "Let's drink, let's drink."
At first, Qin Bao Bao drank all the wine in her glass. Then, she couldn't take it anymore and pulled Qin Ze over to drink. Because it was at home and it was rare for relatives to gather together, the old man and Qin Ma didn't stop her.
Cousin Jiang Cheng was eager to drink and wanted to drink for his sister. However, he was too young and didn't have the right to drink with the elders.
Qin Ze didn't have a high tolerance for alcohol in the past. But ever since he exercised and tempered his body every day, his liver's ability to detoxify alcohol was abnormally strong. He was actually on par with his two uncles.
Now, he couldn't stop. His two uncles kept urging him to drink. Qin Bao Bao sat beside her brother and helped him pour wine. She was as obedient as a little wife.
Qin Ma chatted with her two aunts. Other than daily necessities, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and some gossip, the other topic was Qin Bao Bao's marriage. She mentioned that her youngest aunt was very keen on being a matchmaker these years and had brought several couples together. She was the one who introduced the blind date last time.
"Bao Bao is getting old. I don't expect her to get married immediately, but she has to find a partner." Qin Ma sighed.
"There are still good men. It's just that with Bao Bao's current identity and profession, it's not easy for her to find a partner casually. After all, she's a celebrity." Her youngest aunt analyzed, "Or someone in the entertainment industry is more suitable."
Her eldest aunt shook her head. "No, the entertainment industry is too open. Look at the news. It's not this one cheating, it's that one cheating. If Bao Bao marries someone in the entertainment industry, it might be a marriage tragedy."
Qin Ma was unhappy. My daughter hasn't married yet, and you're already predicting a marriage tragedy.
Her youngest aunt said, "Then marry a rich businessman. All female celebrities like to marry rich businessmen."
"Once you enter a rich family, it's as deep as the sea. Rich people are also fickle people." Jiang Cheng interrupted.
"Scram." Her youngest aunt slapped him.
Qin Ma was even more worried when she heard this.
Qin Bao Bao pursed her lips and continued to pour wine for her younger brother.
"It's not that she doesn't have a good partner. It's just that she's too stubborn and doesn't want to date. Otherwise, with our qualifications, how could she not find a Bao Bao?" Qin Ma said.
"Celebrities aren't allowed to date." Jiang Cheng interrupted again.
"Scram." This time, her eldest aunt slapped him.
"Maybe she hasn't met someone she likes. Bao Bao is so beautiful, it's normal for her to have higher standards." Her eldest aunt said.
"Bao Bao, what type of man do you like?" Her youngest aunt asked curiously. She knew her niece's taste, so she could find a good man.
Qin Bao Bao was absent-minded. "So-so. Like Azé."
Her eldest aunt laughed. "Hai, that's easy. You can find a bunch of them."
Qin Ze felt as if an invisible arrow had pierced his heart.
Her youngest aunt was suspicious. "Don't try to fool me. If you really have such standards, you would have gotten married and had children long ago."
Another arrow was shot.
Qin Ma opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
Qin Ze's face was flushed red. He took a sip of wine and said, "Mom, talk about something else."
The three women changed the topic and talked about their youth. Then, they talked about Qin Ze's grandpa and grandma when they were young. They talked about how tough it was back then. The place they lived in was barren. Now, there were many skyscrapers. Things were different.
Her eldest aunt said, "Sigh, I remember when our mom was young, she gave birth to twins for the first time. Unfortunately, they died after a few months. Isn't that right, brother? "
The old man took a sip of wine and recalled. "There was such a thing. I heard about it from dad when I was young. Mom almost got depression back then. "
Her youngest aunt smiled. "Fortunately, she got pregnant with you the next year."
Her eldest aunt continued, "I heard that twins can be inherited. Maybe Bao Bao or Azé's children will be twins."
Qin Ma's eyes flickered. She casually changed the topic. "Which high school is Cheng 'er studying in now?"
Jiang Cheng was eating happily. Suddenly, he felt the atmosphere in the living room turn solemn. There was a murderous aura.
"What high school? Go to a technical school." Her youngest uncle snorted.
Her youngest aunt glared at her husband and said helplessly, "I wanted to be like Bao Bao and study in Fudan University High School. This child's grades are usually good, but he screwed up his middle school exams. He's studying in Annan High School now. "
Annan High School was only average.
The Old Master tapped his nephew with his chopsticks. "The Senior High School Entrance Examination and the College Entrance Examination are important events that will decide your life. You're still young, so you don't have the feeling. But you'll understand in the future. A good high school will decide which university you'll go to in the future. A good university will decide your future.
Jiang Cheng was unconvinced. "Nowadays, it's all about the father. I lost when I was just born."
Her youngest uncle was furious. "What did you say? I'll beat you to death."
The old man waved his hand to stop his brother-in-law. He said earnestly, "Since you know that you lost when you were born, why don't you work harder?"
Jiang Cheng was still unconvinced. "Cousin is studying in an average university. I have a role model. I'm not afraid."
Qin Ze gave him a slap on the head.
Jiang Cheng immediately changed his words. "Cousin is studying in Fudan University. She'll be a celebrity after graduation. She's not even as good as those art school students."
Qin Bao gave him a slap on the head.
Jiang Cheng said again, "So, I'll study in an art school and be a celebrity in the future …"
Seeing that her youngest uncle was about to slap him, he quickly lowered his head and ate without saying a word.
