Lin Qingqian pressed down hard on his feet to stop him from moving.
“It’s cold.” Jiang Yanshen frowned.
“That’s why I have to warm you up,” Lin Qingqian replied matter-of-factly. Her eyes met his deep gaze and her red lips curled up slightly. “I heard from my grandfather that in the past, whenever winter came, my mother would warm my father’s feet like this.”
Jiang Yanshen couldn’t dissuade her and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Huh?”
Lin Qingqian squeezed the ointment between her fingers and carefully applied it on his knee, carefully applying it evenly.
“I heard from my grandfather that my father is delicate and has a cold physique. Other men are as hot as a furnace even in winter, but my father is not. On the contrary, my mother is a furnace in winter, so she kicks my father’s feet into her arms every night to warm him up.”
A glint flashed across Jiang Yanshen’s eyes, and his thin lips moved. “If they were still around, they would definitely be very loving.”
After Lin Qingqian applied the medicine for him, she gently pulled down her pants and looked up with a smile. “That’s for sure. Moreover, my mother will definitely say how I found someone like my father.”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Yanshen didn’t understand.
“Good-looking.” Lin Qingqian smiled.
Jiang Yanshen’s smile deepened at her praise.
The temperature in the tent seemed to have risen, warming the two of them.
Lu Yuan stood at the door with a yam in his hand and shouted, “Director Jiang, can I come in?”
“Enter.”
Only when Jiang Yanshen spoke did Lu Yuan dare to lift the curtain and enter.
Looking at their postures, he instantly lowered his eyes. “Director Jiang, Madam, roasted yam.”
“Give it to me.” Lin Qingqian reached out to take it.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.” Lu Yuan turned around and ran, thinking to himself, As long as I run fast enough, the dog food won’t be able to catch up to me!
The foil was no longer so hot. Lin Qingqian tore it open in a few moves, revealing a round yam. She could smell the fragrance even before she peeled it.
“I used to like roasted yam the most. You probably haven’t eaten it before!” Lin Qingqian carefully peeled the skin of the mountain yam. The soft and sweet fragrance of the roasted yam tempted people.
Jiang Yanshen was not a person who had a strong appetite, but seeing that she was so interested in recommending it to him, he cooperated and opened his mouth to take a bite.
The taste was indescribable, but it was sweet from the tip of his tongue to his heart. It was as if it was the only sweetness he had tasted in his life and would never forget.
Lin Qingqian fed him a yam and the meal started not long after.
Lin Chaoyan gave the food to the two of them to eat in the tent while the others ate outside.
Although the weather was cold, rural people were not good at anything else. They were best at manual work. They built a pavilion in the afternoon. There was a plastic membrane around it to block the wind. There were a few stoves inside and a few pots on the stove, stewing different vegetables.
The villagers surrounded the stove and ate and drank wine. It was lively and not cold.
Jiang Yanshen could also hear the chatter and laughter outside in the tent. The food in the bowl was not considered delicious. But perhaps it was because of Lin Qingqian’s presence, but he felt that all of this was very beautiful.
He didn’t find everything so unbearable because of the harsh environment. He even thought that it wouldn’t be bad if he had Qianqian to accompany him even if he had to live in such a remote village for the rest of his life.
It was good to work at sunrise and rest at dawn with just the two of them.
After dinner, everyone chatted and washed up to sleep.
Originally, Lin Chaoyan and Lin Qingqian wanted to sleep in the same tent. In the end, because Jiang Yanshen came, she went next door to sleep with the Big Sister and gave the bed to Jiang Yanshen.
As for Lu Yuan… he was naturally sleeping in the car.
It was New Year’s Eve. Although the snow hadn’t melted, the bright sun had appeared early in the morning, and the temperature seemed to have returned a little.
Early in the morning, the villagers got up and got busy.
Jiang Yanshen woke up very early because of his light sleep. Lin Qingqian was also woken up and got up to help him get some water to wash his face.
When they were done washing up, Lu Yuan was still asleep in the car.
Lin Qingqian knocked on the car window. Lu Yuan woke up and lowered the car window. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Madam, morning…”
He even yawned after sleeping. His eyes were filled with tears, and it looked like he had not slept well.
“Get up and wash up. We’ll have breakfast later.”
Lu Yuan nodded. “Alright, thank you Mada…”
Before he could finish speaking, he fell asleep on the steering wheel again.
Lin Qingqian:
How sleepy was this child?
During breakfast, Lin Qingqian said apologetically, “Today is New Year’s Eve. I’m really sorry for implicating you and preventing you from going back to accompany your family.”
Lu Yuan took a big mouthful of yam porridge and picked up the pickled vegetables that Lin Chaoyan had personally marinated. He said indifferently,
“It’s fine, Madam. I don’t have any relatives either. My mother is the only one. She’s even busier than me every day. Even if I don’t accompany her for the new year, she can still find a group of sisters to play with.”
His mother fell seriously ill. After being discharged from the hospital, she was sent to a nursing home because Lu Yuan was too busy with work to take care of her.
There were some rich old ladies and old men there. Those who were rich and had time were bored because their children were busy with work and were not free. They usually played together and celebrated the new year and festivals together.
They could no longer be bothered with those children who were busy earning money. They just had to transfer money regularly every month.
Although he said that, Lin Qingqian was still a little embarrassed. Which parent didn’t want their children by their side?
Jiang Yanshen said calmly, “The bonus for this month will be increased by five times. ”
Five times!!
Lu Yuan’s eyes immediately widened as he stood up and bowed excitedly. “Thank you, Director Jiang!”
Before he could straighten his back, the sudden shout made the atmosphere awkward. Lin Qingqian: ‘ Lin Chaoyan:
Jiang Yanshen: ‘
Lu Yuan: .
‘I’m sorry, I’m dead.’
“Boop!” Another long and embarrassing sound rang out.
Lin Qingqian bit her lips, holding it in very hard.
Lu Yuan’s entire face turned red, and his voice trembled. “I’m… I’m sorry…”
“—chi.”
Lu Yuan: .
Heavens, kill me!
The veins on Jiang Yanshen’s forehead twitched. He couldn’t take it anymore and said, “If you don’t leave now, your salary will be deducted by five times this month!”
Five times deduction!!
That was not a deduction, but a debt!!
“Director Jiang, I’m leaving now… I’m leaving…” Lu Yuan was about to cry.
Before he left, he did not forget to pick up some pickled vegetables and run with the bowl.
Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Chaoyan couldn’t help but scold, “This silly boy…”
The 30 families were all busy preparing for New Year’s Eve dinner and putting up couplets and blessings.
Lin Chaoyan was busy preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon, while Lin Qingqian cleaned the house inside and out and pasted the couplets.
Jiang Yanshen helped her paste the couplets. Seeing that she was pasting the word “fortune” upside down, he asked curiously, “Why are you doing this?”
“You don’t even know this?” Lin Qingqian was surprised. He was really an idiot without common sense.
Jiang Yanshen shook his head. In the past, the Jiang Family had also pasted couplets on their doors during the new year, but it was all done by the servants. He had never cared or paid attention to it.
“Pasting it inverted means that fortune will come, do you understand?” Lin Qingqian looked at him with sparkling eyes. He was so smart that he should be able to understand at a glance.
Jiang Yanshen’s gaze moved between the word ‘fortune’ and her, and his thin lips curled into a smile. “I see.”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “This is a custom. It’s been like this since ancient times.”
After pasting the word ‘fortune’ on it, she thought of something and took out a coin from her pocket and handed it to him. “Here, this is for you.” Jiang Yanshen looked down at the coin in her palm, his eyes filled with confusion.
“You forgot? This is the lucky coin you gave me last year!” Lin Qingqian looked at the lucky coin, a warm smile flowing in her eyes. “I seem to be quite lucky ever since I had this lucky coin.”
Her work and relationships were smooth. It was as if her journey had become very smooth and she had no worries.
“Now, I’ll return this good luck to you.” Lin Qingqian placed the coin in his palm. “Keep it well. I risked my life to get it out of the bed when the earthquake happened.”
When Jiang Yanshen heard that she was still caring about a coin during the earthquake, he knocked her head with his finger and warned, “Don’t do such a dangerous thing again.”
Lin Qingqian touched the place he had knocked on and chuckled. “Alright, I understand. Hurry up and help me stick the couplets on the door. We still have to help Auntie pick vegetables later.”
Jiang Yanshen clenched the coin in his palm for a second before putting it back into his pocket and walking to her to help.
Although there was the earthquake and a hidden danger of the virus, it did not affect everyone’s joy over the new year. Every family was busy inside and out.
It was even more so for Yan Sui’s family in Lan City.
Because Yan Sui was pregnant this year, Mother Yan did not let her do anything. She held her husband’s ear and instructed him.
As she asked Father Yan to work, she even scolded him for being a toothpaste. She had to squeeze him for everything before he could do anything.
Father Yan felt bitter. Didn’t he do exactly as she said? How could it be his fault?
However, in their decades of marriage, he had also summarized a very precious experience—his wife was always right. His wife could not be wrong.
Suisui sat on the sofa and ate the snacks that Mother Yan had prepared for her while playing with her phone. She was fighting with the anti-fans online and chatting with her friends.
The doorbell suddenly rang. Suisui was about to open the door when Father
Yan, who was wiping the glass, hurriedly said, “Don’t move. I’ll go, I’ll go!” Suisui, whose butt had yet to leave the sofa, slumped back down.
Previously, she had to be scolded every day for not doing anything. This was the first time she felt that she did not have to do anything. She suddenly felt that the benefits of being pregnant were still huge.
Father Yan opened the door and was dumbfounded to see Lu Ting, Lu Qinshang, and an unfamiliar woman standing at the door.
What was going on?
Lu Ting smiled kindly. “In-laws, sorry to disturb you. Isn’t this the new year? I specially brought Qinshang to deliver new year goods to you to wish you a happy new year.”
Father Yan: ‘
Wasn’t the new year visitations supposed to be on the first day of the new year? Which family would perform their New Year greetings on the eve of the New Year?!
Although that was what he complained in his heart, they were still guests at the door. Father Yan still invited them in warmly.
When Suisui heard Lu Ting’s voice, she stood up and walked over. When she saw Lu Ting and Lu Qinshang, she called out sweetly. Then, she saw an unfamiliar woman and assumed the same dumbfounded expression as Father
Yan.
What was going on?!
Lu Ting was about to introduce her when a smile appeared on the face of a woman in a mink coat and a small leather dress with long boots that revealed her legs. She introduced herself sweetly. “Hello, I’m Yin Ning, Qinshang’s stepmom.”
Her gaze landed on Suisui’s face and she immediately smiled. “This is Suisui, right? She’s so cute and is really compatible with Qinshang.. Don’t you think so, Old Lu?”
