Chapter 184 New Year’s greetings
"Honey, have you forgotten? Pei Ze doesn't have a girlfriend yet. How can he embroider something like this? It's definitely not as good as mine."
"Oh, yes, Ozawa really doesn't understand much."
A few simple words succeeded in breaking Pei Ze's guard. He covered his chest and looked at them with a look of resentment.
"You all are targeting me, huh, I will have a girlfriend sooner or later."
"Okay, you drama queen, you can take Xiao Zheng and Manman to your grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings later."
"Oh well."
Pei Ze wanted to act for a while longer, but before he could start, Grandma Pei interrupted him and made arrangements for them.
Lin Manqing and the others stayed at home for a while before going to prepare the New Year's gift.
The Pei family has a small population and not many relatives. After all, Grandma Pei and her family are the only ones.
Pei Ze drove Lin Manqing and Pei Zheng to his grandmother's house to pay New Year greetings. It was just noon when they arrived. He had said hello before going, so it was a good time to have a meal.
Grandma Pei's house is different from the Chinese-style old homes like the Pei family's old house. It is a Western-style villa. There are more than a dozen families living in that villa area, all of which are for the elderly.
When Lin Manqing and the others arrived, Huo Jin was playing outside with Qiuqiu. As soon as he saw Lin Manqing, Qiuqiu ran towards her.
"Sister, sister."
"Eh."
Qiuqiu was very happy that his beautiful sister came to his house today to pay New Year greetings. When she ran over, she hugged him.
Lin Manqing hadn't seen Qiuqiu for a long time, and she was a little happy. This child was different from other children.
If other children haven't seen someone for a long time, they probably won't remember them when they see each other again, but I wonder if Lin Manqing is so good-looking, so Qiuqiu always remembers her.
"Cousin, Miss Lin, Happy New Year, may you get rich and may everything go well."
Huo Jin was playing with her mobile phone before. When she heard the sound of the car, she simply thought it was someone coming to pay New Year greetings. She didn't know it was them until Qiuqiu called Lin Manqing, so she immediately got up and walked towards them to say hello.
"Happy New Year and all the best."
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year and may you get rich."
Huo Jin is a few years younger than Pei Ze and one or two years older than Pei Zheng, so it is not wrong to call her cousin. Lin Manqing and Pei Zheng are not married yet, so they call her Miss Lin.
Qiuqiu was a little unhappy when he saw them ignoring him. He hugged Lin Manqing's neck and tried hard to feel present.
"Sister, I also wish you a happy New Year. I wish your sister will be more and more beautiful as she grows up. May you be blessed with good luck, be promoted step by step, reach the top, have abundant financial resources, and be close to water and terraces. May you be promoted and make a fortune. May you be prosperous every year, may everything go well, and be a happy family. Happiness, all your wishes come true, fortune, fortune."
Qiuqiu performed some lyrics, but when he came to the back, he didn't know if it was because he had forgotten the lyrics, and he couldn't say "Fu Lu" for a long time.
Huo Jin took him from Lin Manqing's arms, pinched his nose, and said funny.
"Blessings and wealth."
Pei Zheng glanced at his eyes in surprise, and then praised him with Huo Jin.
"He can remember so many words at such a young age? It's amazing. I couldn't remember it when I was young."
"Ha, where does he remember it? My mother forced him to recite it yesterday and today, even when he was sleeping."
"Hahahahaha."
As soon as Huo Jin's words came out, the others were a little funny.
"It's still very impressive. I've memorized it for so long."
Lin Manqing and Pei Zheng held hands, watching Qiuqiu shyly hide in Huo Jin's arms, she pinched his face itchingly.
It was smooth and tender, soft and elastic, and the more I pinched it, the more itchy it became.
A few people stayed outside for a while, handing out red envelopes before entering the house.
Lin Manqing didn't know what to give, so he simply gave some money, as did Pei Zheng and Pei Ze.
Qiuqiu received three red envelopes at once and handed the ones given to him by Pei Zheng and Pei Ze to his brother for safekeeping. The ones given by Lin Manqing were held in his arms without letting go.
When they entered, Luo Hui (aunt) and others were busy in the kitchen. When they saw Pei Zheng and others arriving, they asked them to sit down wherever they wanted.
Pei Zheng and the others were not polite to her, they treated her as if they were at home, and soon the food was on the table.
There were several dishes that Lin Manqing liked to eat. She later heard Pei Zheng say that his aunt specifically asked him about them.
The meal didn't last long. After the meal, Qiuqiu wanted to take Lin Manqing to see his toys. She looked at Pei Zheng sheepishly, and only after seeing Pei Zheng nodding, she followed.
As soon as he went upstairs, Qiuqiu placed all his toys in front of Lin Manqing, pointed at the puzzle and asked Lin Manqing to play with him.
Then she and Qiuqiu worked on puzzles all afternoon, and she was able to escape only when Pei Zheng came upstairs and told her to get ready to go home.
Before going home, Grandma Pei and the others gave them the New Year red envelopes she had prepared. When Lin Manqing took them, she was shocked by the thickness and weight of the red envelopes.
She didn't react until she got in the car, until Pei Zheng put his into Lin Manqing's hand, looked at her puzzled eyes, and leaned on her shoulder to tell her quietly.
"My dear, this is my lucky money. I will buy you a bag and a beautiful little skirt."
"Don't you use it?"
"The pocket money you gave me is enough."
Lin Manqing pursed her lips and smiled. She quietly raised her head and glanced at Pei Ze in front of her. Seeing that he didn't notice their movements, she tilted her head and kissed Pei Zheng.
Pei Ze watched the whole process from the driver's seat and felt a little complicated. He was both sour and "unlucky."
After rolling his eyes, he concentrated on driving and tried his best to ignore the sticky little couple behind him.
The next few days were relatively peaceful. First, Ji Shu went back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, and then she received the people who came to Pei's house to pay New Year's greetings at home.
He Qing called Lin Manqi when he was in the third year of junior high school and told Xiguang Charity that the matter had been almost settled, and then she spent a lot of money.
First, it funded several high school students who were about to drop out of school because of money but had good grades; instead, it funded 500,000 yuan to an organization that specializes in finding abducted children; third, in accordance with Lin Manqing’s previously unintentionally revealed wishes, A drug police department donated supplies and money.
Although the money is not a lot, it can solve some urgent needs.
After He Qing, Zhang Pei and Fang Jinyu reported to Lin Manqing on the company's expenses and income and made prospects for the next year.
Unlike Fang Jinyu in the imperial capital, Zhang Pei from Ancheng had a video call with Lin Manqing.
He even used a PPT on the phone and said it very well. Lin Manqing immediately gave him a salary increase.
His mother's illness was almost healed, and he had been inviting her to his house for dinner. Lin Manqing could not return to Ancheng for the time being, so she declined politely.
Fang Jinyu made an appointment with Lin Manqing at the cake shop last time. After doing the same job as Zhang Pei, she revealed the arrangements for the previous employees of the Qin Group.
