As soon as the two returned home, the children"s eyes lit up as they murmured to themselves, "Grandpa, you"re finally back! You can eat now."The old man"s heart ached when he heard that the children had not eaten yet. "What are you waiting for us for?" Why didn"t you eat earlier? "I"m hungry."
"It"s nothing. I ate some pills, so I"m not that hungry." Li Qingling laughed as he replied, and turned to have someone to bring the dishes over.
When the old man sat down, Li Qingning asked curiously, "Is the banquet fun?" Was the food good?
"Just some singing and dancing aren"t really that interesting." The old man laughed and patted Li Qingning"s head, "It"s not that grandpa is boasting, the food made by the imperial kitchen is not as delicious as the food made by your sister. Grandfather has always been hungry and has come back, waiting for your sister to make the big meal!"
Hearing that, Li Qingning looked at the old man with sympathy, she did not expect that, her grandfather had been starving for a whole day, it was so pitiful.
The old man could clearly see the sympathy in the little girl"s eyes. He pinched her face and said with a smile, "Grandpa wanted to come back for fried rice b.a.l.l.s a long time ago." He thought about the pill for a long time.
"Sister said not to eat the pills before eating, but to eat with your stomach left." Li Qingning patted her hungry stomach and pouted, feeling wronged.
Being controlled by her sister and unable to let go of her stomach to eat the pills, what a pity.
The old man knew that Li Qingling was teaching the little fellow, so he nodded his head and smiled. His elder sister was right, he could not eat fried rice b.a.l.l.s before eating.
Since her grandfather had already said so, what else could she say? Li Qingning acknowledged.
When all twelve dishes were served, Li Qingling shouted, and it was time to start eating.
The old man and Mr. Luo looked at the table, where the delicious and delicious dishes were sitting, and felt like drooling.
Fortunately, they did not have much to eat in the palace, so their stomachs were already full.
The old man picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it in the bowl before starting the meal.
Only after he finished speaking did Li Qingling and the others pick up their chopsticks to eat.
Whether they were old or young, they were all full. All of them were lying on chairs, holding their stomachs and breathing heavily.
Especially the old man and Mr. Luo, for all these years, they had never hugged each other like this before.
Mr. Luo sighed emotionally in his heart once again. Fortunately he had promised Liu Zhimo to spend the new year here, otherwise, he would have missed out on so many delicacies.
Just based on Li Qingling"s cooking skills alone, he had to eat here.
When he thought about it, he felt a little jealous of Old Man Xue. He was so happy that he could eat the food Li Qingling cooked whenever Li Qingling and the others lived here.
"Drink a cup of barley tea, go get oily, clear out your stomach." After Li Qingling finished brewing the barley tea, he poured a cup for each of them and pushed them in front of him for drinking.
The old man held up the barley tea, took a sip, and sighed exaggeratedly, "With you all here this year, Grandfather felt that it would be a real new year. The previous ones, are simply not even considered new years.
Especially on New Year"s Eve, after coming out from the palace, he just took care of it when he returned home, then washed up and went to sleep. How could he be as happy as he was now?
"We still have to spend the new year together and have New Year"s Eve meal together in the future." Li Qingling smiled and said.
"Yes, that"s right." The old man nodded his head heavily. His heart was moved to a complete mess. He had already made up his mind. From now on, wherever these kids went, he would follow them. He didn"t want to spend the new year in seclusion.
Although Mr. Luo didn"t say anything, he was still quite happy in his heart. This year could also be considered to be the happiest year he had ever lived.
Li Qingling didn"t want to see the two elders so sad during the New Year, so he took out the poker cards that she had prepared a long time ago.
The old man"s interest was piqued by the novelty of the card. He sat up straight and asked, What card is this? Why hadn"t he seen it before?
Li Qingling chuckled, and said that he had thought of his own poker cards that could be used to pa.s.s the time.
"Alright, alright, how do you play this?"
Li Qingling took a set of cards and slowly explained it to them. After he finished, he asked them, "Do you understand?
After hearing that they understood everything, she slowly began to teach them how to play Landlord.
At first, they weren"t familiar with the old man, but they were slower at playing. After two or three games, they played even better than Li Qingling.
Seeing this, Li Qingling sighed in his heart, the wisdom of the ancient people was not hidden, it was truly powerful.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo did not play, and let the old people and children play, after watching for a while, Liu Zhimo pulled Li Qingling out.
Walking to the garden outside, Li Qingling asked Liu Zhimo what he wanted to do.
Liu Zhimo smiled and kissed her forehead, then said that it was fine.
Under Li Qingling"s doubtful gaze, there was a loud bang in the garden. At some point, a firework had been set up and was set up.
Li Qingling looked up at the bright fireworks, and smiled, "Is this the surprise you gave me?"
Liu Zhimo carried her from the back, smiled, and said En, and asked if she looked good?
She nodded her head slightly and said it was nice.
Although she had seen all sorts of fireworks in her previous life, she still felt moved when she saw ordinary fireworks in this one.
Liu Zhimo tilted his head and kissed the corner of her lips, raising his head together with her to look at the bright fireworks.
Hearing the sounds of fireworks, the children, who were playing Landlord, ran out as well. They muttered to themselves, "I want to play too! I want to play too!"
Seeing the children, Liu Zhimo immediately let go of Li Qingling. He couldn"t do any more intimate actions towards her.
"You guys can play if you want, but you have to pay attention to your safety, do you understand?" Li Qingling warned Li Qingfeng and the other two boys, afraid that they would accidentally blow him up.
This fireworks was a dangerous item. If one wasn"t careful, then one would be in danger.
Li Qingfeng obediently answered as he went to light the fireworks himself, accompanied by the servant.
Looking at the fireworks flying up into the sky, the children could not take their eyes off them and jumped in joy.
This was the first time they had seen such beautiful fireworks. In the past, there had never been fireworks in the village.
After a round of fireworks, the children were still unsatisfied. They ran over to ask the old man if there were still any fireworks left. They want to play it again.
Of course, the old man had satisfied his children"s little wish.
He had more than a dozen fireworks brought in to be slowly released by the children.
After becoming addicted to fireworks, the children pulled the old man and Mr. Luo back to play Landlord. This was a new thing that they had gotten addicted to, and had not had the chance to enjoy it yet.
They played until midnight, when all the children yawned and were chased away by Li Qingling to bed. Otherwise, they wouldn"t be able to get up tomorrow.
The children did not force themselves to stay awake any longer and squinted their eyes as they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Even Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling were chased by the old man. They went back to sleep, there was no need to watch the night.
After busying themselves for the entire day, the two of them were indeed tired. Thus, they didn"t decline and returned to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, the children came to pay their respects.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo gave each of them a red packet, and the children ran off after receiving it.
"The happiest people in the new year are the children. You can get red packets." In her previous life, the thing she longed for the most when she was young was the new year. Not only were there delicious foods during the new year, but she also received red packets. That was when she was the happiest.
With that, a big red packet appeared in front of her. She raised her head and looked at Liu Zhimo"s gentle eyes.
"The red packet for you!"
"Idiot, I"m already so big, why would I take red packets?" Li Qingling laughed and pushed it back, "Let"s go and pay respects to grandteacher."
Liu Zhimo firmly stuffed the red packet into Li Qingling"s hands, and then kissed her lips and smiled as he said, "In my eyes, you are just a child."
With that, he turned around and left.
Li Qingling looked at the red packet in his hand and then looked at Liu Zhimo"s back. She couldn"t help but smile.
She had been very lucky in her life to have met him and received his love.
She put the red packet back into her pocket and quickly walked up to him. She grabbed his hand and tilted her head to look at him, "Husband, did I say those three words to you before?"
"Hmm?" Liu Zhimo looked at her with a question mark all over his face, "Which three words?"
"I love you."
Hearing this, he was stunned for a long time before regaining his senses. He forcefully held her hand and pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her tightly and lowered his head to kiss her without saying a word.
"..." This was outside, how could he …
Li Qingling was dumbfounded!
Seeing this scene, the servants were all dumbfounded.
Especially those maidservants, their faces were extremely red and they were too embarra.s.sed to look any further.
In his heart, however, he was rather envious. He felt that his eldest daughter was on very good terms with her young master.
After a long while, he finally let go of her. His forehead was pressed against hers, and his eyes were filled with deep emotions.
In this public place, Li Qingling was not as thick-skinned as he was. He hurriedly pushed him away, pushed him away, and then left.
Even her soul that came from the modern era wasn"t as shameless as him, an ancient person.
It really was …
Li Qingling slapped his face that was so red that it didn"t look right. He definitely wouldn"t be able to say those two words to him in the outside world next time, he didn"t think that she would be so excited.
Liu Zhimo hurriedly took two steps forward and directly held her hand. The strength behind the action was a little too strong for her to break free no matter how he struggled.
When the two of them reached the old man"s courtyard, the few of them started playing Landlord again.
Li Qingling: "..." Are they addicted to it? They just hang together and play.
"Grandpa, grandteacher, happy new year …" Liu Zhimo laughed and said.
Li Qingling added.
The old man and Mr. Luo raised their heads, looked at them and smiled as they replied New Year"s greetings, and even gave them red packets.
