SIAS Chapter 201.2

When she woke up the next day, she was still excited about the New Year gift package she received last night.

She hummed a tuneless song, put on her clothes, and then pulled the new cotton-padded jacket hanging at the end of the bed over to put on.

Her mother, Zhao Xianglan, worked in a textile factory. With her position, she could get a lot of defective fabric without tickets. Although it was defective fabric, it was actually not much different.

So, her family was not short of clothes. Everyone in the family, young and old, had new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year. The clothes were made by her mother long in advance.

The cotton-padded shoes that Yi Qingqing made for them were also made before the New Year and were given to them last night.

After putting on new clothes and braiding her hair, the first thing Yi Qingqing did when she went out was to wish her parents a happy New Year. She also received two red envelopes.

Yi Zhigang, who came to pay New Year’s greetings with Xiao Hui in his arms, finished saying some auspicious words. Zhao Xianglan and Yi Jianshe each stuffed a small red envelope into Xiao Hui’s pocket.

Yi Qingqing looked at Xiao Hui’s pocket and then at the red envelope in her hand, which was exactly the same.

“Mom and Dad, I’m a grown-up girl now, and I still have red envelopes!”

“When you get married and have a baby, there will be no more.” Zhao Xianglan said.

Yi Qingqing laughed when she heard it, “Then I’ll ask my parents to spend more money for a few more years!”

There is no need to be polite when receiving a red envelope from your parents.

“It’s better to spend more money for a few more years! Girls have to be more careful when looking for a partner. You can’t learn from your brother!”

Zhao Xianglan wished her daughter could stay at home with them for the rest of her life!

Marrying off a daughter is much more painful than marrying a son. She always feels that no man is worthy of her daughter.

“Don’t worry, my vision is much better than my brother’s.”

Yi Qingqing touched her nose.

Although she is very confident that her Ah Yuan is a good man, she will only tell her mother about his affairs after two years, for fear that her mother will get anxious and do something bad.

Everyone was wearing new clothes and was in high spirits. They happily ate breakfast and went out to pay New Year’s greetings.

Yi Qingqing’s father had a bad relationship with his relatives. He stopped visiting his hometown after the two elders passed away.

She has a younger aunt on her mother’s side who married a soldier and went with the army. They usually only keep in touch through letters.

So, her family didn’t have many relatives to visit.

Usually, they would visit her father’s colleagues and friends on the first day of the New Year, and her mother’s colleagues and friends on the second day. They were all in the city, and some were in the compound. It was just a formality and didn’t take much time.

On the third day of the New Year, other people came to their house.

On the fourth day, they had nothing to do and took a day off.

On the fifth day, her parents’ New Year’s leave ended, and the factory resumed work.

This New Year was considered over.

However, Yi Qingqing really overestimated her brother’s learning ability. After teaching him for so many days, he could help, but he could only barely cook rice.

The taste was like a lottery, which was hard to describe.

There is no harm without comparison. For the first time, Yi Qingqing felt that Yun Guyuan’s copy-and-paste cooking learning ability was really worry-free.

It was a great sense of accomplishment to teach an apprentice like Yun Guyuan, but her brother’s skill would make the master doubt herself.

However, her brother was quite satisfied with himself. Being able to cook rice in such a short time was already a great improvement.
