Chapter 234 Looking forward to the New Year
Chapter 234 Looking forward to the New Year
After a pleasant day, Ye Sanqing returned to the Tang family to continue his training.
Finally, it was the eve of the Lunar New Year. Ye Jin'er finished her work and flew over. This time, the whole team went to pick her up, and then they went directly to Tang Qingshan's house.
Tang Yuzheng has decided to go into seclusion to avoid this period of travel since his doctoral dissertation is not yet finished, so he will not be able to appear this time.
Ye Jin'er could chat with anyone, so everyone arrived at their destination in a lively atmosphere.
Tang Qingshan's residence was some distance from the Tang Family Martial Arts School; they were two small towns located far apart within the same city.
Tang Kairui usually lives in the city with his family, which is closer to Tang Qingshan's place.
However, he had no talent for martial arts at all, so he was just an ordinary office worker living an ordinary life.
Since Tang Hongfang was in charge of the martial arts school, he took care of Tang Qingshan's affairs more, while Tang Kairui handled the daily matters.
Tang Qingshan's residence was also a small farmhouse, similar to Tang Hongfang's, only a bit smaller and simpler than the home of a celebrity.
He usually just buys whatever he wants to eat and drink in the village, and he grows his own vegetables behind the house. His daily necessities are usually provided by Tang Kairui every month.
Tang Qingshan lives here simply for a peaceful life.
Although he usually gets quite a few visitors...
As soon as everyone entered the gate, they saw Tang Kairui killing a chicken in the yard.
Upon seeing everyone, he quickly greeted them, "You've all come! I'm busy right now and can't leave, please come in and have a seat!"
Before anyone could react, he called out into the house again, "Tang Qiyuan, aren't you going to come out and greet the people?"
Ye Sanqing looked towards the door and saw his cousin, whom he had never seen before, walk out from inside.
Although they have a family WeChat group and have added each other as friends, they haven't really communicated much except for business-related matters.
After all, Ye Sanqing didn't have his phone with him when he appeared on the variety show, and he's been busy for the past few days, so he's really not familiar with everyone anymore.
Ye Jin'er was a little more familiar with them, but she only saw them during holidays and festivals, and not even every year.
Tang Qiyuan seemed to be trapped by the fog on his glasses. He wiped them but found it didn't help, so he simply took off his glasses and squinted as he greeted everyone.
"..." Ye Sanqing felt that the Tang family were all comedians.
How could he possibly see anyone clearly looking like that!
Ye Jin'er seemed unfazed, and put her arm around the other person's shoulder, saying, "Let's go inside and talk!"
Tang Manhe also rushed over as if to join in the fun, and Tang Qiyuan was even shaken by his tackle.
The house was quite spacious, probably because Tang Qingshan needed to entertain guests. The living room was decorated in a rather antique style, with things like armchairs.
However, because of the cold weather, some fluffy cushions were placed on top, which looked somewhat out of place.
But Tang Qingshan clearly didn't care about that. He held up his teacup and invited everyone to sit down, and then Tang Qiyuan went to pour tea for himself.
He was helping his mother tend to the vegetables in the garden behind the house, so when he heard the greeting, he went through the main room and then out the front, which is why his glasses fogged up.
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting. Ye Sanqing, seeing that there was nothing to do, asked if the kitchen needed any help.
It seems like she hasn't cooked in a long time! A few days ago, I saw Sheng Hanyu and ate at a delicious night market, and now I'm itching to try making some barbecue.
Of course, Sheng Hanyu also actively sent her the formula... otherwise she wouldn't have had the confidence.
As a result of her words, it was Tang Qiyuan, Tang Manhe, and Tang Hongfang who jumped up.
Tang Qingshan waved his hand, and they all scattered to the front and back to help each other.
Seeing this, Chang Yangui smiled and said, "Sanqing is interested in cooking? But it's so cold outside! You don't need to do it. Let these old and young men do it. Anyway, they usually do the cooking at home."
Tang Qingshan also said, "If I weren't so old, I would have shown you some real skills! Luckily, Kai Rui learned my cooking skills, so I let him show them off today!"
"I'm just a little free," Ye Sanqing said with a smile.
She doesn't particularly enjoy cooking... she just occasionally gets the urge to.
Since Chang Yangui had said so, she obediently sat down.
Sigh, I might as well cook it at home... But can I have a barbecue at my apartment? Ye Sanqing couldn't help but start to ponder this question.
I don't know if having a barbecue on the balcony is against the rules... If it's really not allowed, maybe we should go to a resort or something.
As for Ye Jin'er, he wouldn't join in the fun, after all, he's the kind of man who can "set the kitchen on fire no matter how normally he cooks!"
Although it was only the eve of the Lunar New Year, Ye Sanqing and the others were there, so the scale of the event was almost the same as the Lunar New Year's Eve dinner, and the preparation time was quite long.
After chatting for a while, Tang Qingshan said he was going to take a nap and told them they didn't need to keep an old man like him company. They could go play games or watch TV series if they wanted.
Naturally, everyone... went to play games.
Although Chang Yangui is an elder, he runs a martial arts school and is also a whiz at surfing the internet.
Because there are many young people in the martial arts gym, she occasionally plays games and keeps up with the times!
Zhang Wenhui also finished her work and came over to join in the fun, and it turned out she could play too.
Because she is a middle school teacher, she always tries out activities for young people with the aim of understanding their thoughts.
So Ye Jin'er was happy to help a few people rank up. Since it was a casual game, he didn't care about the skill level of the people he was playing with.
Anyway, none of them are as strong as him.
Ye Sanqing wasn't really keen on playing games, but since it was the Lunar New Year, he figured he might as well do it.
The main reason was that Sheng Hanyu's "game theory" was still echoing in her mind... It's inevitable to think about games when you see them.
During dinner, Ye Yifan made a video call and said regretfully, "It's a pity I can't leave here, otherwise I could celebrate the New Year with you all."
She was actually with Ye Siqing, apparently at the Ye family home. The two of them had left Ye Tian behind to video chat...
Well, that's not a problem, since probably no one wants to see him anyway.
Ye Siqing also greeted him; he had finally escaped the hell of exams.
Tang Qingshan naturally wouldn't blame them, and for him this year, having Ye Sanqing and Ye Jin'er was already a pleasant surprise.
After everyone greeted each other warmly and offered a perfunctory toast, they began to eat.
As expected, the Tang family's cooking skills were quite good. Although it was a typical New Year's Eve dinner, they made it quite well.
Besides the usual dishes like fish, chicken, pork hock, and dumplings, there were also popular dishes like stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, home-style tofu, and pork rib soup, as well as cold-cut donkey meat, crystal aspic, four-happiness meatballs, braised pork belly, and several other dishes that Ye Sanqing had never heard of before.
Ye Sanqing naturally enjoyed a great feast; indeed, the food in this world is incredibly diverse!
Perhaps she can look forward to the Chinese New Year in the future.
