Chapter 182 Happy New Year
The Pei family hired not many servants, but they were all gone within ten minutes, and no one chose to stay.
After they all left, Pei Zheng felt that Lin Manqing and Ji Shu were a little bored staying together, so he took her upstairs to sleep.
When Lin Manqing woke up, it was already dark. She was also hungry and her stomach growled. Pei Zheng heard a drowsy voice in his sleep and subconsciously held her in his arms and patted her back to comfort her. she.
Lin Manqing looked at Pei Zheng's skillful movements, smiled, and then reached out to pinch his nose.
Pei Zheng's life gate was pinched by Lin Manqing, and his breathing was a little rapid, but he still didn't wake up. Instead, he rubbed Lin Manqing's arm and continued to sleep.
Lin Manqing saw that he had no intention of waking up. After placing a kiss on his face, Lin Manqing gently tried to get out of the inside of the bed.
But she didn't expect that when she was about to step over Pei Zheng, he hugged her and even pinned her down.
"My dear, why didn't you call me when you woke up?"
His voice when he just woke up was hoarse and deep. Pei Zheng was leaning against Lin Manqing again. His breath when he spoke was sprayed on her neck. So when Lin Manqing heard his voice, her body softened and her ears softened. The redness gradually reached my neck.
Pei Zheng didn't open his eyes when he spoke, so he didn't notice Lin Manqing's shyness at all. He didn't hear the reply for a long time, and he went to extra lengths to act coquettishly with her.
"My dear, why don't you reply to me? Well~"
"Cuckoo?"
Before Pei Zheng's coquettishness was over, there was a strange sound. Pei Zheng's mind was not fully awake yet, so he couldn't remember what the sound was for a while. He just felt that it was very familiar.
"My dear, did you hear any noise? Where did it come from?"
Although Lin Manqing had had closer contact with Pei Zheng, and they were also an unmarried couple, her face turned even redder when she heard his question.
She awkwardly grabbed Pei Zheng's ears and watched him slowly open his eyes and look at her doubtfully.
I was speechless for a moment, so I simply broke the jar, got up quickly, and answered him while changing my clothes.
"The sound my stomach is making, I'm hungry."
Pei Zheng was still a little confused at first, but when he heard that Lin Manqing was hungry, he immediately woke up and quickly got up to change clothes.
"Well, dear, just wait for me. After I change my clothes, I will take you down for dinner."
Today is New Year's Eve. When Lin Manqing and Pei Zheng changed their clothes and went down, Ji Shu and the others happened to be in the kitchen, preparing to cook one or two of their own special dishes.
They thought Lin Manqing and the others hadn't woken up yet, so they didn't go up to call them. They planned to wait until the meal was ready before calling them down to eat.
But now that they are awake, there is nothing to urge them to wash their hands and prepare to eat.
The dishes at home were already semi-finished when the servants left. The Pei family only needed to process some more when cooking.
Pei Zheng led Lin Manqing to sit down at the dining table, and then entered the kitchen, planning to cook a few more dishes that Lin Manqing liked.
Although the kitchen was large enough, it was inevitably a bit crowded with several people blocking it. Pei Zheng stood aside and waited until they all brought out the dishes they cooked before he went in.
Everyone in the Pei family can cook. Although they are not very proficient, they all have one or two good dishes, especially Pei Shuxian and Pei Zheng.
Pei Shuxian practiced it specially when he was pursuing Ji Shu, while Pei Zheng liked to feed Lin Manqing. Over time, he developed good cooking skills.
Soon Pei Zheng was also coming in and out, bringing out four or five dishes in a row, and he was still with Ji Shu and the others, forming a full table.
There are meat and vegetables, vegetables and soups.
Pei Zheng also specially steamed a bowl of shrimp and egg custard for everyone. During the meal, he sat next to Lin Manqing, peeling the shells and picking vegetables for her.
This is the habit of the Pei family. They will cook their own New Year's Eve dinner. Although it is not frequent, it is a rare opportunity.
After the meal, the entire Pei family sat neatly watching the party. The men of the Pei family were peeling oranges or melon seeds for their lovers, but Pei Ze sat alone and watched.
After watching the party for a while, Pei Zheng felt it was boring, so he took Lin Manqing and Pei Ze out to play.
The place we went to was not very far away. Now it was different from when they were children. The flavor of the year was almost gone.
Pei Zheng took Lin Manqing to set off fairy wands and fireworks in the yard, and the two took a few more photos to show off their affection in WeChat Moments.
Pei Ze did not join them, but stood aside smoking and watching them play. Although Pei Zheng looked crazier than Lin Manqing, he was also silently paying attention to her movements.
After playing wildly for a while, the wind blew and she felt a little cold. Pei Zheng was afraid that Lin Manqing would catch a cold, so after talking to Pei Ze, he took her into the house.
The Pei family will not entertain guests tonight. Although it is a bit cold, time passes quickly. After Lin Manqing and the others stayed for a while, they ushered in the first day of the New Year.
"Goodbye, my dear, there are fireworks every year, and a happy new year."
"Thank you, baby. One year old, one gift, one inch of joy. Happy New Year, baby."
As soon as the twelve o'clock bell passed, Pei Zheng leaned into Lin Manqing's ear and gave her blessings, and Lin Manqing also imitated his response.
They are not the only ones in the Pei family who are like this, Grandpa Pei, Grandma Pei, Ji Shu and Pei Shuxian are also like this.
This is their blessing to their loved ones. It is the first sentence of the New Year and is unique.
Pei Ze watched the three of them whispering indifferently from the side, rolled his eyes, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine to calm down.
At this moment, he felt the malice he had never experienced before, it was dog food directed at him alone.
After sending blessings to their loved ones, they finally became more concerned about Pei Ze. First, Grandma Pei coughed, wished them a Happy New Year, and then took out red envelopes and distributed them to them.
One red envelope for each person, no favoritism, even Grandpa Pei.
Then everyone distributed the red envelopes they had prepared. Seeing that the time was almost up, Grandma Pei drove them back to bed.
"Good night."
After Pei Zheng took Lin Manqing and said good night to them, he went upstairs to their bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, Pei Zheng picked up Lin Manqing.
He kissed her gently on the ear and temples first, and waited until Lin Manqing could hardly breathe, then let her go. Then he carried her to the bed, knelt down on one knee, and put a peace charm on her wrist.
Lin Manqing felt something strange and raised her hand to take a look, feeling a little confused.
"This is the custom of our Pei family. On the first day of the new year, we will bring something embroidered by ourselves for our lover, and then pick up the peace charm consecrated by the temple."
