Chapter 79 - 79 New Year’s Greetings
She Chose to Be Strong After Her Rebirth and Won Everything Back
79 New Yearâs 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 Songâs call came.
!!
âQu Zhi, do you return to your hometown?â
Qu Zhi didnât know whether to laugh or cry. She thought she was going to say âHappy New Year.â
âNo, I didnât,â
âI knew it!â Sister Song was a little proud. She knew that with Qu Zhiâs current temper, she would not go back and suffer. âCame to my house for lunch. I didnât go back too.â
âWhy didnât you return too?â Qu Zhi was in disbelief. Sister Songâs mother and mother-in-law doted on her to the heavens.
âSong 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.â
Song Meiâs voice came from the other end of the phone. âIs Chuchu coming too? â
âShe is.â The corners of Qu Zhiâs lips couldnât help but curve upwards.
In that case, Sister Songâs house would be the first stop for the new yearâs 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 didnât expect.
Usually, the guests would bring some New Year gifts. At that time, she could send the familyâs New Year gifts to others. However, this time, she didnât 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 childrenâs 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 Songâs 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, âDonât raise your finger. Look at how your little finger is flying!â
Song Mei mumbled a few words. Why should I still had to practice. Otherwise, couldnât play with Chuchu later.
Qu Zhiâs heart ached for her child. âItâs the new year. Let her play for a few days.â
Sister Songâs face relaxed. âShe doesnât have awareness. Sheâll forget them in a while.â
Although she said that, her heart still softened. âPractice two more times. Iâll listen to it. If there are no mistake, you can rest.â
Song Meiâs 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 couldnât help but applaud. Liang Wen also exclaimed, âGood! Good!â
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.
âYou little thing also clap along.â Sister Song saw that Sisi was smiling so widely that she couldnât even open her eyes. She took Sisi from Aunt Huiâs hands and said, âLet me see you. Youâve grown so much!â
When Sister Song and Sisi were together, Sisi hadnât even opened her eyes yet, but when Sister Song hugged her, Sisi didnât resist at all. Her warm little hands cupped Sister Songâs 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. âCome quickly!â
Song Mei had bought a lot of new tapes. She wanted to play them all for Chuchu.
Although she didnât 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 Wenâs family had brought gifts. She quickly declined. âQu Zhi, what are you doing? â
Qu Zhi smiled. âA gift.â
Sister Song was unhappy. Why were they so distant. Who were they?!
Qu Zhi looked at her long face and said, âYou can send me a gift too. Itâs not like I wonât accept it.â She knew that Sister Song definitely will not come to their house empty-handed.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
