Married for a long time

Chapter 119 Chapter 119: It’s also a warning

The smile on Qin Man's face was like the eggplants that had been beaten by frost in the farmer's uncle's vegetable garden. They drooped.

Because the recording of the video was given by Xia Li at the last minute, and she was in Huozhuang, she didn't have a mobile phone holder, so she could only deliberately support the mobile phone and constantly adjust the angle and light.

He had adjusted it many times and was almost done recording. As soon as he came in, the door opened the cabinet next to him and the phone slipped down.

Her resentful eyes mixed with anger slowly turned towards the culprit.

Huo Yanchi was stunned by her, glanced at the mobile phone on the cabinet, and landed on her strange outfit of half exquisite sweater and half pajamas, "Recording a video?"

"if not?"

She muttered dissatisfiedly, walked to the cabinet, looked at the failed video, sighed quietly, pulled Huo Yanchi over with her backhand, put the phone into his hand, held up his elbow, "You made me fail to record the video Come on, now it’s my phone stand!”

Huo Yanchi didn't complain, he just stood motionless, like a wooden stake.

Qin Man pulled his arm to adjust the angle, "Okay, this angle looks good, don't move, that's it!"

She grabbed Huo Yanchi's finger, walked over, and motioned to him to watch the video and start recording. She immediately smiled sweetly, with a lively and cute look, and talked about the New Year's greetings that she had memorized by heart, and finally improvised Added a paragraph inside.

The whole video lasts about half a minute.

Qin Man first sent it to Xia Li for confirmation and then edited it.

After changing into her pajamas and washing her face, Xia Li had already sent the edited video.

Just after midnight, she quickly logged into her Weibo account, edited the copy she had thought of in advance, and then sent it.

"Happy New Year."

She had just lifted the quilt and lay down, and was exchanging New Year greetings with Qu Zhen and the others when a white velvet box suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Her eyes, which were originally on the screen of her mobile phone, were instantly attracted to it.

She stopped typing and looked sideways at the man who had been lying on the bed for a long time.

The logo on the velvet box is Hermès.

"What is this?" She wrinkled her little face and her voice was muffled, a little stubborn and dissatisfied.

"new Year's gift."

"For me?"

"Ah."

Qin Man was tangled in her heart, but it was hard not to be moved when she saw the Hermès items!

In the end, his backbone was defeated by Hermès, and he took the white velvet box.

I apologized to it in my heart.

The hesitation just now was simply an insult to Hermès.

It shouldn't be.

The gift box was opened and inside was a bottle of perfume.

It just so happened that her bottle of perfume was almost used up.

She didn't say anything, closed the lid again, put the things on the bedside table beside her, and said rather coldly and arrogantly, "I didn't prepare a New Year's gift for you, so don't think that I will return the gift."

The corners of Huo Yanchi's lips curved slightly, and his eyes were deep and seductive, "It doesn't matter, I have what I want."

Qin Man's eyes were full of confusion when her waist was suddenly hooked by his arm, and the familiar face magnified infinitely in front of her eyes.

In an instant, he turned over and pressed down. Her eyes widened, the back of her head was held, and she fell gently on the pillow.

Her lips felt cold, and thin kisses fell all over the place.

"You... um..."

She subconsciously wanted to push him, but the two bodies were inseparable and could not be pushed away at all.

----

At 06:30, it was still dark. Qin Man was dragged up by Huo Yanchi with her eyes closed. She was very sleepy.

Huo Yanchi carried her to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, "Open your mouth... drink some water, spit it out..."

After washing up, he carried her to the cloakroom and reached out to unbutton her pajamas.
As if this action was too familiar, last night's pictures hit her brain like a slideshow, causing her to wake up suddenly and immediately grabbed his wrist, "I can do such a small thing as getting dressed myself."

"I can help you, please wait for a while." Huo Yanchi looked at her and spoke clearly, as if he really didn't have any selfish motives.

Qin Man sneered in his heart.

If you say that he has no selfish motives, you won't even believe it, okay?

last night……

Okay, let’s not mention this nonsense. Thinking about it now makes her legs tremble and her waist feels sore.

"I really don't have to! You go and wash your clothes, I'll wear them myself!" She refused seriously, with a bit of anger in her eyebrows.

Huo Yanchi felt sorry for herself, knowing that she was a little unhappy because she was too cruel yesterday, so he didn't dare to continue to dance crazily in her minefield.

You have to smooth it out.

Otherwise, she will easily get mad.

Ten minutes later, Huo Yanchi took Qin Man's hand and arrived outside the Huozhuang Ancestral Hall.

The entire Huozhuang was brightly lit at the moment, the sky had turned pale, and there was a layer of mist floating in the air. There was no wind, but the cold was enough to bite the bones.

As soon as he came out of the room, Qin Man couldn't help but wince.

So cold.

The old lady, Huo Ruihong and Wen Shan were already standing outside the door. They walked over to say hello and wish them happy New Year.

After waiting for a few minutes, Huo Muchuan arrived belatedly. They all paid New Year's greetings one after another and then entered the Huo family's ancestor worship ceremony.

This is also the first time Qin Man has stepped into the ancestral hall as a daughter-in-law, and her name must be entered into the Huo family tree.

The ceremony was very traditional and grand, and the ancestors of the Huo family were worshiped in the ancestral hall.

Starting from the generation of Mr. Huo, the Huo family has not been very prosperous. In addition to the old man having a sister, he only has one son, Huo Ruihong, and Huo Ruihong has two sons, Huo Muchuan and Huo Yanchi.

Qin Man knelt down and worshiped several times, but Qin Man didn't understand the steps in the Huo family's ancestor worship.

Anyway, the old lady knelt down and bowed when asked, offered incense when asked, toasted when asked, and even recognized the tablets in a circle.

"I hope all the ancestors will bless the Huo family to continue to be prosperous this year, and the children and grandchildren will be healthy and safe, and also bless us Ah Chi and Man Man to be harmonious and beautiful, so that Man Man can flourish for our Huo family as soon as possible."

The old lady spilled the wine in the glass on the ground, her tone was kind but full of strength.

Qin Man felt her scalp go numb when she heard the words "spreading branches and spreading leaves".

She is 24 years old... No, the year has passed. Now it should be said that marrying young at the age of 25 is fine. She doesn't want to get pregnant at an early age again.

Her career has not yet fully taken off and her future has just dawned, so she really doesn’t want to be held back by her children.

Thinking about the tumultuous scenes last night, she suddenly became alert.

sin, sin.

When I was worshiping my ancestors, I actually thought about such filthy things!

But she remembered that a few times last night, someone didn't seem to be wearing it.

She frowned, thinking that she would have to buy medicine.

Finally, under the leadership of the old lady, they knelt on the futon and kowtowed gently to the tablets before completing the ceremony.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, it was already dark, and the family headed to the restaurant.

Before Qin Man had time to suppress her broken and troubled emotions, she was covered by the fragrance that hit her face, and her heart drifted away.

If you are hungry, eat until you are full.

The Huo family doesn't have many relatives, and the first day of the new year is a day to pay New Year's greetings to their closest relatives, so the door is very quiet.

She had agreed with Liu Jingru that she would go over and have dinner with her in the evening.

Now that she is alone, she will inevitably feel colder and lonely during the New Year. As a daughter, I cannot accompany her to have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. She should always have dinner on the first day of the new year.

"Grandma, I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you. My mother lives alone now, and I want to have dinner with her."

In the afternoon, she found an opportunity to talk to the old lady. Huo Ruihong and Wen Shan were also present.

When Liu Jingru was mentioned, the old lady nodded, looked at her apologetic attitude, and said with a smile, "What's your expression? Do you really think that my old lady insists on having you eat with her? It's not easy for your mother, either." Yes, this is the Chinese New Year, you should go and spend time with her."

As she said that, she looked at Huo Yanchi again, "Achi, you go with Manman too. It's the first time you've visited your mother-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year. Don't be empty-handed. You can ask the old Dong for some suitable ones later. Bring the gift over."

Huo Yanchi nodded in agreement.

In fact, he had already prepared the gifts for visiting Liu Jingru and kept them in the trunk. Plus the old lady asked him to bring them, there were quite a few.

When the car arrived at the downstairs of the high-end community where Liu Jingru lived, Qin Man looked at the things in the trunk and was so shocked that she couldn't explain, "Did you bring all these things here to my mother?"

"Ah."

Huo Yanchi chose a few light gift boxes for her, "I'll just pick up the others."

Of course, Qin Man didn't stop him from showing off his "boyfriend power" at the highlight moment, and she gave in very sensibly.Liu Jingru knew that they would come over in the evening and had been looking forward to it for a long time. But when she saw them carrying so many things, she was still stunned, "Why...are they carrying so many things? Come in quickly."

"Mom, Happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year." Putting the things down, Qin Man smiled and gave her a hug.

Huo Yanchi also said something.

Liu Jingru immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

This was also Liu Jingru's first time to celebrate the New Year alone in so many years. Last night during her family reunion, she stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the lights of thousands of houses, feeling a little sour in her heart.

The nanny was also on vacation. Seeing that she was busy pouring tea, Huo Yanchi shouted, "Mom, please stop working."

"That's right, Mom, sit down and let's chat for a while." Qin Man pulled her to sit down and said, "Are you going back to your uncle's place to see grandma tomorrow?"

"how do you know?"

"When I made a voice call with my cousin in the afternoon, my aunt heard her and chatted for a few words. She said that she called you on the 29th and asked you to go back to celebrate the New Year. You didn't want to. She just said that she would go back in the second grade of junior high school."

Qin Man actually knew Liu Jingru's unwillingness to go.

It's not because the married woman got divorced and felt embarrassed when she returned home, it was actually because of her.

Liu Jingru knew that it was her first time to celebrate the New Year at the Huo family, and she would be joining the Huo family tree on the first day of the new year. This year was special, so she had to be able to see her when she wanted to come back.

Liu Jingru laughed, "Next year, next year I will go back to your uncle's house to celebrate the New Year."

It's a pity that I have to go to Uncle Huo Yanchi's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, so I can't go back with Liu Jingru.

Dinner was prepared by Liu Jingru. Qin Man wanted to go in to help, but she kicked her out. The reason was: If you fail, you will fail. Please let me go in the kitchen. If you are celebrating the Chinese New Year, don't let me eat in the kitchen.

Qin Man pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved.

Liu Jingru is actually a person who has no fingers in the spring water. She grew up being pampered by her parents and brother in her natal family.

After marrying into the Qin family, although the old lady had troubles, there were nannies and kitchen aunts in the family, and she had cooked for both of them.

Speaking of which, it was actually the first time for Qin Man to eat the food she cooked, and she was looking forward to it.

Seeing that it looked good, she couldn't help but praise, "Mom, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."

"I had nothing to do the past few days. I learned a few dishes from the nanny. You guys can try them."

Qin Man swore that she was really looking forward to tasting it. As soon as she took her mouth, she felt like her fate was being held back by the food, and her mask of pain came out.

Damn, it’s poisonous food.

I was almost poisoned to death by it on the wonderful day of the New Year!

When Huo Yanchi was about to take off her chopsticks, she held them down, then looked up at Liu Jingru, "Mom... are you sure you have learned the essence of the nanny's auntie's taste in this dish?"

"What... what's wrong?"

"I suspect that you want to poison me, your biological daughter and biological son-in-law."

Liu Jingru: "..."

She glared at him angrily, "The nanny taught me the braised pork, steamed seabass, steamed egg with shrimps, and braised chicken wings..."

Qin Man glanced at the other dishes, garlic green vegetables, abalone chicken soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, and spicy beef.

"So these dishes are..." What she had just eaten was spicy beef.

"I taught myself by reading tutorials online repeatedly." Liu Jingru said confidently, "Every process is exactly in accordance with the online requirements. Isn't it delicious?"

She didn't believe it, then she picked up the beef and tasted it, and her face instantly wrinkled.

I tried a few of them one after another, and they really didn’t taste that good.

She was silent for a moment, then stood up to remove the dishes. Qin Man said, "It's okay, Mom, just leave it here. The chicken soup is pretty good."

After all, it was the result of her working in the kitchen for an hour or two, and it was her first time cooking. As a daughter, she had just woken up, so she still had to praise her.

Later, to prove what she said, she ate two more pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs.

She couldn't say that the sweet and sour pork ribs were unpalatable, but she was curious as to why the sweet and sour pork ribs turned into bitter and sour vinegar pork ribs.

She ate two pieces with tears in her eyes, and then ate a braised chicken wing to suppress it.

Liu Jingru originally felt that it was a pity to eat those dishes, and she felt a little melancholy in her heart. However, she was amused by Qin Man's performance. After all, she still couldn't bear to let her suffer, so she took out the beef and pork ribs.

At around ten o'clock, Qin Man and Huo Yanchi left Liu Jingru's place.

In the next three days, Qin Man was either on the way to pay New Year's greetings or paying New Year's greetings.

On the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, she received a call from Qin Jiang, asking her to go back to Qin's house and say that the family would have a reunion dinner.

She resisted in her heart.

But after all, she still has the surname "Qin". Just like Liu Jingru said, she is always the daughter of the Qin family.

Outsiders don't know about the messy and broken family affairs of the Qin family. Later they find out that she did not go back to the Qin family to celebrate the New Year in the first year after marrying into the Huo family. It will damage her reputation.

Of course, Qin Man never cared much about other people's opinions, but she cared about Liu Jingru's.

However, Liu Jingru only divorced Qin Jiang after she got married. It is said that rumors can crush people to death.

This is the tragedy of being born in a wealthy family. You have to care about face at all times. I don’t know how many families are sitting around waiting to see each other’s jokes.

So, finally agreed.

At around ten o'clock the next day, Qin Man and Huo Yanchi appeared at the gate of Qin's house.

The housekeeper changed his previous arrogance and greeted him enthusiastically, "Miss Third, Third Sister-in-law, the old lady and the gentleman know that you are coming back today and have been looking forward to it for a long time. Come in quickly."

She said that Qin Jiang was looking forward to it, but she reluctantly believed it.

But to say that the old lady is looking forward to it, it is definitely not for her, but for Huo Yanchi.

She ignored them and walked into the house. Qin Jiang saw them and said, "Manman, Ah Chi is back."

"Happy New Year, Dad. I wish you a happy New Year." She didn't smile, but her voice was still gentle.

Huo Yanchi also shouted.

Qin Jiang happily led them to the living room, "Mom, Manman and Ah Chi are back."

Sure enough, every time I see Mrs. Qin, it takes a lot of courage to even say hello.

The old lady was dressed in festive and luxurious clothes, and her temperament was naturally incomparable with that of Old Mrs. Huo. She always felt that no matter how good her clothes were, they were like a piece of starched porcelain that had been painted with a layer of fine paint. It is also plated with a layer of luxurious gold.

It was a bit inappropriate to describe her grandmother like this, but Qin Man didn't feel any guilt or guilt at all.

Qin Yao sat below her, wearing Fuaiya's new winter clothes, very fashionable.

"Grandma, I wish you a happy New Year." She calmly looked away and greeted the old lady.

I don't know whether it was for the sake of celebrating the New Year or for Huo Yanchi's sake. It was rare that the old lady didn't show any shame to her. She just said a salty 'hmm' and said, "Come on." ”

There is not much emotion, even perfunctory.

Then he looked at Huo Yanchi with a kind smile again, "Chi hasn't been back for a long time. Sit down quickly and the butler will serve tea."

Qin Man rolled his eyes slightly at the side.

Those who didn't know thought this was Huo Yanchi's natal family.

"Brother Yanchi, sit down."

Qin Yao automatically ignored Qin Man and stood up with a smile to give up his seat to Huo Yanchi.

It seemed like Huo Yanchi wouldn't have anywhere to sit in the huge living room if she didn't let him.

Qin Man held his arm, looked at Qin Yao, and asked aggrievedly, "Second sister, we haven't seen each other for a few months, why don't you talk to me? Are you still angry with my mother? Is it your fault that she refuses to share your shares in Wandering Literature Company?"

Well, she admitted, she was deliberately stirring up trouble.

She just couldn't stand Qin Yao's vixen-like behavior, clearly trying to seduce her husband.

"you!"

Qin Yao was so angry that she looked like green tea.

"Okay, it's Chinese New Year, let's not talk about those unpleasant things." Qin Jiang said at the right time, "Yanchi, Manman, you can sit down."

Qin Man deliberately pulled Huo Yanchi to sit on the double seat on the other side and ignored Qin Yao.

"Your eldest brother went out to pay New Year's greetings today and won't be back until tonight." Qin Jiang started the conversation.

Qin Man didn't care much about Qin Tingye and just said "Oh" and said nothing.

Qin Jiang chatted a few more words, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "Manman, did you go to your mother's place?"

When Liu Jingru was mentioned, the old lady frowned displeased and glanced at Qin Jiang.

"went."

Qin Man didn't like to hear anything about her mother from the Qin family, including her name, so she replied with two words and stared at him with cold eyes.

It is also a warning.
