Chapter 570 New Year’s Eve
Chen Qing nodded to indicate that he would obey.

She took her daughter out to eat, and that evening the whole family was completely at He Yuxiang's beck and call.

He Yuxiang is definitely the person in the family who values ​​festivals the most. Whenever there is a traditional festival, he will definitely prepare a lot of things.

The hardest-hit areas were Chen Qing's wardrobe and Xiao Yu's treasure chest.

Chen Qing's wardrobe had fewer clothes, but a huge pile of all kinds of fabrics. Xiao Yu's treasure chest was filled with her own rare and precious items.

Xiaoyu bent down inside the room and took things out of a box: "These are all useful, we can't throw them away."

"If you keep going like this, when you grow up, there won't be enough room for your bed in your room, it'll be full of your suitcases!" He Yuxiang picked up her folded paper: "Should we throw these away? They're all paper airplanes, when can't we fold paper airplanes?"

"This airplane was a gift from someone. We should cherish the things that others give us so that we can receive many gifts in the future," Xiaoyu argued.

He Yuxiang was convinced.

He picked up some more stones, saying, "You'll always lose these once you pick them up."

Xiao Yu's hands hung down, her eyes looked at him with a pitiful expression before falling back down, her curled eyelashes fluttering, her face full of sadness.

He Yuxiang: “…”

It's obvious she doesn't want anything to be thrown away.

What do you need the stone for?

"play games."

"The sandbag can always be thrown..."

"My aunt made the beanbag, and I'm the best at throwing beanbags in the whole school. I can hit anyone no matter who I'm throwing at, so there's no way I could throw the beanbag away."

Xiaoyu initially loved the beanbag toss game, but after playing for a while, she found that she was unbeatable in the whole school, so it got boring. But even though it was boring, the beanbag was still very important!

He Yuxiang looked through her treasure box, which was full of odds and ends, and was even difficult to organize: "So annoying."

Xiaoyu reminded him, "Brother, it's almost Chinese New Year, so let's use polite language."

He Yuxiang coldly swept his gaze over them.

Xiao Yu lowered her head and silently stuffed her treasures into the box, her back view stubborn yet pitiful.

He Yuxiang sighed; he couldn't control his sister anymore, and left in frustration.

As soon as he leaves.

Xiao Yu cheered. She knew that playing the victim with her brother would work. She hugged the big box and patted it, saying, "I've saved you all again!"

Since Comrade He Yuxiang failed with his sister, he smuggled a bunch of fabric from his aunt.

Chen Qing said, "These fabrics should be worth quite a bit of money. Let's keep things clear between aunt and nephew. Two yuan! This is truly a family price."

He Yuxiang tied up his things and left.

Chen Qing: "..."

Brat.

Chen Qing turned his back to him and swung his fist before he was satisfied.

Looking around at the clean and tidy house, Chen Qing began to look forward to the New Year.

The night before New Year's Eve, Chen Qing and He Yuan stayed up very late making red envelopes, and got up early the next day.

He Yuan was in charge of cooking.

Chen Qing is responsible for taking care of the two children.

"Comrade Chen—your letter."

The postman handed the letter to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took the letter, surprised that someone would write to her at this time.

Upon opening the letter, she found it was from Lin Leyu, the powerful figure she had been longing for.

She agreed to come to Guangdong Province and would arrive on the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year. Chen Qing was overjoyed and asked her to pick him up.

With Senior Lin here, the design department should be in good shape.

However, after the start of the new year, central government officials came to regulate the overall discipline of the garment factory. I don't know if they are open-minded or rule-abiding, which really affects the design of next year's Canton Fair.

Chen Qing put the letter away, and a strange pressure washed over her as she thought about having to prepare for the Canton Fair again after the new year. The Canton Fair was like her annual exam; she had to come every year, and the pressure grew year by year.

Now she is responsible for the food, clothing and daily necessities of thousands of people. If she doesn't get any orders, she will become a major sinner.

Chen Qing took a deep breath and decided to stop thinking about it for now, at least he could relax a little during the three days of the New Year holiday: "Little Youyou, didn't you say you wanted to relax and have fun playing games during the New Year holiday?"

Little Youyou crossed his hands and shook them as if he were giving Chen Qing a New Year's greeting. Chen Qing smiled and cupped his hands in return.

Youyou's eyes widened, as if she had seen a companion, and she excitedly waved her arms and legs.

Chen Qing was amused.

Xiaoyu also came to her aunt's room to play with her younger siblings. As soon as she arrived, the two children immediately abandoned their mother and turned to play with their older sister.

Xiao Yu squatted on the ground, revealing her body little by little to her younger siblings, then slowly sliding down, up and down, leaving the two naive children completely bewildered.

Xiao Yu asked her younger siblings, "Is it fun?"

Pingping cried out twice, wanting her older sister to hold her, and Youyou also wanted to compete for attention.

Xiaoyu said, "I can't play with you right now because I have to work later. But when I'm on night watch, I'll play hide-and-seek with you, okay?"

The two siblings didn't understand anything, but kept asking her to hold them.

Chen Qing then asked, "What kind of work do you want to do?"

“Brother Dongfei doesn’t know how to use honeycomb briquettes. I’ll go help him with that, otherwise he won’t have a family reunion dinner tonight.”

Xiaoyu was speechless.

Because Dongfei was assigned to keep watch during the Lunar New Year, if he wanted a hot meal, he either had to get something good from his sister or cook it himself.

He and Old Lady Qin had a falling out, so he had to figure it out himself. He bought all the equipment and ingredients, but it turned out he wasn't very good at using fire!
Chen Qing: "How about we invite him to our house for a meal?"

“I told Dongfei that too, and he said he would feel very uncomfortable if I did that.”

"Too."

Chen Qing thought about her past life, and realized that if she had been invited by a colleague to have New Year's Eve dinner at her home, she would have felt very uncomfortable.

"Then go and help your brother Dongfei with it. By the time he's done, it'll be time for dinner at home. Don't go too far."

"understood."

Xiaoyu went out to help.

Shorty Tiger, carrying a bundle of random firecrackers, followed Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the junkyard."

"Then I'll go to the junkyard too." Shorty Tiger realized he didn't really like celebrating the New Year this year because his stepmother hadn't bought him any new clothes!

He kept crying and wailing in the courtyard, and then his father beat him up. He then received clothes from a relative, which were all patched!

When his mother was alive, he never had to wear patched clothes for Chinese New Year!

but……

His mother didn't like him very much either.

But he still missed his mother a little.

I wonder if it will be very hard for my mother to be sent to a labor camp?
If anything, she must regret it.

If Mom regrets it, I really hope the police will let her go.

Don't let Mom suffer anymore.

Go home early.

It's so cold outside and I don't have any new clothes to wear.

My mother is also concerned about saving face.

You'd definitely feel ashamed in jail.

Shorty Tiger thought of his mother, rubbed his eyes, but then quickly followed Xiao Yu.
