Chapter 79 - 79 New Year's Greetings
79 New Year’s Greetings
Liang Wen went back to work on the fifth day of the new year. She had originally planned to go back to work at this time, but she felt that Chuchu was pitiful with no one to accompany her during the holidays, so she decided to rest for a few more days.
She also wanted to visit some old friends and reminisce about the past. It was too boring to stay at home.
The shops and beauty salons in the city were almost all closed. There were too many from other cities in Jiang City. Everyone had gone back to celebrate the new year, so the whole city was much quieter.
The first person she thought of was Sister Song. Sister Song was a local, but it was hard to say if she had returned to her hometown.
Just as she was about to call Sister Song, Sister Song’s call came.
“Qu Zhi, do you return to your hometown?”
Qu Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She thought she was going to say ‘Happy New Year.’
“No, I didn’t,”
“I knew it!” Sister Song was a little proud. She knew that with Qu Zhi’s current temper, she would not go back and suffer. “Came to my house for lunch. I didn’t go back too.”
“Why didn’t you return too?” Qu Zhi was in disbelief. Sister Song’s mother and mother-in-law doted on her to the heavens.
“Song Mei is about to have a Piano Competition, so we already went back to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Then we came back in a hurry so that she could practice a few more times.”
Song Mei’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Is Chuchu coming too? ”
“She is.” The corners of Qu Zhi’s lips couldn’t help but curve upwards.
In that case, Sister Song’s house would be the first stop for the new year’s greeting.
She originally wanted to bring some New Year gifts, but she had to go around Jiang City to find a store that was still open. This was something Qu Zhi didn’t expect.
Usually, the guests would bring some New Year gifts. At that time, she could send the family’s New Year gifts to others. However, this time, she didn’t go back and no one gave her any gifts.
However, it was also a good thing. She could specially buy more practical gifts for her friends.
Qu Zhi carried two barrels of calcium milk powder. Chuchu was also drinking this milk powder. It suited the children’s appetites, but it was imported and was a little expensive. Then, she gave Sister Song a lambskin wallet. It was black with bright-colored embroidery, and Qu Zhi took a fancy to it at first glance.
When she arrived at Sister Song’s house, she could hear the sound of piano coming from the door before he even knocked. Qu Zhi could tell that Song Mei was already very familiar with it and did not stammer at all. Aunt Hui also complimented that this child had practiced quite well.
However, when Sister Song opened the door, she was still shouting at Song Mei, “Don’t raise your finger. Look at how your little finger is flying!”
Song Mei mumbled a few words. Why should I still had to practice. Otherwise, couldn’t play with Chuchu later.
Qu Zhi’s heart ached for her child. “It’s the new year. Let her play for a few days.”
Sister Song’s face relaxed. “She doesn’t have awareness. She’ll forget them in a while.”
Although she said that, her heart still softened. “Practice two more times. I’ll listen to it. If there are no mistake, you can rest.”
Song Mei’s energy was immediately restored. She quickly played the piano twice seriously without making any mistakes.
Qu Zhi really felt that this child had some talent and couldn’t help but applaud. Liang Wen also exclaimed, “Good! Good!”
Seeing this, Chuchu also clapped her hands with all her might. How could she not giveher own friend her support?
Seeing her sister so happy, Sisi also grinned and clapped her chubby little hands.
“You little thing also clap along.” Sister Song saw that Sisi was smiling so widely that she couldn’t even open her eyes. She took Sisi from Aunt Hui’s hands and said, “Let me see you. You’ve grown so much!”
When Sister Song and Sisi were together, Sisi hadn’t even opened her eyes yet, but when Sister Song hugged her, Sisi didn’t resist at all. Her warm little hands cupped Sister Song’s face, and Sister Song liked her so much that she almost put her hand in her mouth.
Song Mei got down from the piano stool and waved at Chuchu. “Come quickly!”
Song Mei had bought a lot of new tapes. She wanted to play them all for Chuchu.
Although she didn’t go home, she had saved up all the red packet money that her grandparents had given her. When the time came, she could save up a small gold vault to buy tapes!
It was only then that Sister Song realized that Liang Wen’s family had brought gifts. She quickly declined. “Qu Zhi, what are you doing? ”
Qu Zhi smiled. “A gift.”
Sister Song was unhappy. Why were they so distant. Who were they?!
Qu Zhi looked at her long face and said, “You can send me a gift too. It’s not like I won’t accept it.” She knew that Sister Song definitely will not come to their house empty-handed.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
