Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 205 Happy New Year

The mother and son were chatting in the living room upstairs.

After chatting for a while, Xu Chu Ning felt dizzy and went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.

Shen Sinian sat there for a while, then went downstairs to help You Shuzhen and the others with housework.

After a few busy days and buying all the New Year's items in town, the New Year arrived.

On New Year's Eve, Xu Chuning and his friends had been hearing the sound of firecrackers since early morning.

At around seven in the morning, Xu Chuning and the others also got up.

They had a reunion dinner in the evening during the New Year, and in the morning, the family had a simple brunch. After lunch, You Shuzhen started to prepare dinner, while Xu Chuning and You Ying put up the couplets at home.

After pasting them, Shen Sinian took photos of the two of them.

After finishing all these, he tidied up the house, put candies, biscuits, fruits, etc. on the coffee table, and then Xu Chuning and You Ying went to the kitchen to help.

Several people were busy preparing a large table of delicious dishes.

Before the meal, Shen Sinian was responsible for taking pictures.

He specially brought the camera given to him by Shen Yubai and took pictures crazily.

After taking the photos, Shen Sinian was the first to send one to Shen Yubai: [Getting ready for dinner. ]

Shen Yubai: [It looks good. ]

Shen Sinian: [It tastes better.]

Shen Yubai: [Intentional?]

Shen Sinian: [No way.]

He wouldn't admit it.

After a brief chat with Shen Yubai, Shen Sinian put away his phone and felt the New Year atmosphere in Pingning with Xu Chuning.

The family gathered together, the TV was turned on, they chatted, drank, ate, and were very happy.

After dinner, Xu Chuning called Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang to ask if they had eaten and wished them a happy new year. Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang were at her grandparents' place, so Xu Chuning also wished them a happy new year.

In addition to his grandparents, Xu Chu Ning also paid New Year's greetings to his grandmother in Jiang Cheng.

After paying New Year's greetings, Xu Chuning watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room with You Shuzhen and her grandmother for a while before going out with Shen Sinian and You Ying to set off fireworks by the river with other people of the same age in Pingning.

"What a special New Year." Shen Sinian couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Chu Ning: "What's so special about it?"

"When I was this old," he told Xu Chuning, "fireworks were no longer allowed in Jiangcheng."

Smoking and firecrackers have been banned in major cities, including many rural areas.

Xu Chu Ning was surprised, "Is it so exaggerated?"

Shen Sinian nodded.

"How about New Year's Day?"

"Sometimes I go to a suburban villa with my friends." Shen Sinian answered honestly.

Xu Chuning smiled: "I see."

She thought about it and promised Shen Sinian, "If there is such an opportunity in the future, I will take you back to Pingning."

Shen Sinian: "It's a deal."

The mother and son secretly made an agreement. Shen Sinian said he still wanted to play, so Xu Chuning and You Ying naturally cooperated and supported him.

The three of them went to buy some fireworks and set them off in front of their door.

Xu Chuning also took out his mobile phone and took a few photos.

After playing and taking the photos, she picked and chose and sent two to Shen Yubai.

Seeing the photo she sent, Shen Yubai curled his lips: [Very beautiful. ]

He asked: [Why is yours not there?]

Xu Chuning: [? ]

Shen Yubai: [Photo.]

Xu Chuning was speechless, thought for a while and said: [I don’t take good pictures. ]

Shen Yubai: [I don’t think so.]

Of course, the lively and flexible Xu Chuning is more vital and more beautiful. But he never thinks that the Xu Chuning in the photo is not good-looking.

Xu Chuning: […If you really want to see it, I’ll ask Shen Sinian to take a couple of photos for me.]

Shen Yubai: [Okay.]

Putting away the phone, Xu Chuning looked at Shen Sinian: "Shen Sinian."

Shen Sinian responded: "Ningning."

"Where's your camera? Can you take some pictures for me?"

Shen Sinian took one look at her and knew that she wanted to give Shen Yubai hair. He nodded in agreement and suddenly remembered something, "Do you and Aunt You want to take a few group photos?"

Xu Chu Ning: “Yes.”

Her eyes lit up and she hurried into the living room to talk about this with You Shuzhen and her grandmother.

During the New Year, everyone washed their hair, took a bath, and put on new clothes.

Shen Sinian was responsible for the photos and took several sets of photos of the four people.

When they were almost done taking the photos, You Shuzhen said, "Si Nian, take a few photos with us too."

Shen Sinian: “Ah?”

Xu Chu Ning nodded at him and said, "I'll ask our neighbors to take the photos for us."

Shen Sinian was a little stunned. He nodded in surprise, "Okay, then I will respectfully obey your command."

He knew that You Shuzhen liked him, but he didn't expect that You Shuzhen would even be willing to let him participate in family reunion photos.

In fact, You Shuzhen also felt that Shen Sinian was very much like her younger generation, or even a blood relative. She couldn't tell the reason for the time being, but she just liked and favored him.

I like him more than Shen Yubai.

Of course, this sentence cannot be told to Xu Chuning, because she can feel that her daughter seems to prefer Shen Yubai.

Xu Chuning didn't know what You Shuzhen was thinking. She asked her neighbors to come over and asked Shen Sinian to teach her how to use the camera, and then they took a group photo.

In addition to the group photo, Xu Chuning also asked You Ying to help take a photo of her and Shen Sinian.

After the shooting, when Shen Sinian returned to Jiangcheng and exported the photos using the computer, they could go to the photo studio to develop them.

Considering that Shen Yubai wanted to see it, Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian took a few pictures with their mobile phones and sent them to him.

The Spring Festival Gala lasts until twelve o'clock.

Xu Chuning's family has the habit of staying up all night and burning incense.

So after the clock struck twelve, she and You Ying went to burn a stick of incense for Xu's father before returning to their room to sleep.

As soon as Xu Chuning returned to the room, his cell phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, she picked up the phone without any surprise, "Hello."

"Xu Chuning, Happy New Year." Shen Yubai's clear voice with a smile came into his ears.

Xu Chu Ning lay on the balcony, with the corners of his lips slightly curved as he said, "Shen Yubai, Happy New Year."

After saying that, the two of them laughed in tacit understanding.

Shen Yubai whispered: "I'll give you the gift when you come back."

Xu Chu Ning was surprised, "I still have a New Year's gift?"

Shen Yubai: "Of course."

Xu Chu Ning said "oh" and laughed: "Can't you tell me what it is now?"

"No." Shen Yubai's willpower was very firm.

Xu Chuning: "Okay."

She didn't force Shen Yubai.

The two chatted for a few minutes, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

No one spoke again, but just listening to each other's breathing, they felt it was pretty good.

After a moment of silence, Xu Chu Ning whispered: "Are you going back to your room now?"

Shen Yubai hummed, "Yes."

"So what time do you plan to get up tomorrow morning?" Xu Chuning asked.

Shen Yubai: "Maybe around four or five o'clock."

Xu Chu Ning: "So early?"

Shen Yubai: "Ms. Sang has the habit of going to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha on the first day of the new year. I have to go with her."

"..." Xu Chu Ning understood, "Then do you want to go to bed now?"

Shen Yubai responded, "Are you sleepy?"

Xu Chuning: "I'm fine."

Shen Yubai: "I'm not sleepy either."

He was silent for a moment, and discussed with her, "Let's talk for another ten minutes?"

Xu Chu Ning was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "Just ten minutes."

"..."
