Yan Nuo felt embarrassed. Ji Yinbing was the same. She quickly said, âUncle Chi, weâre already in our thirties and not children. Letâs not take this red packet.â
Chi Baoguang said, âFang Yusheng is my son. He is my child. You are his friends and are both children.â
The two babies took the red packets.
Naturally, Qiao Jiusheng also received her own red packet. She did not reject it and took the red packet before saying, âThank you, Dad.â
Fang Yushengâs face darkened when he saw that there was not a single red packet on the coffee table.
Qiao Jiusheng also noticed that Chi Baoguang did not give Fang Yusheng a red packet. She thought about it and did not ask Chi Baoguang. After all, it was not easy to ask. Lisa whispered a few words to Chi Baoguang. Fang Yusheng could not hear what they were saying, but after the two of them finished speaking, they did not realize that there was still a red packet missing.
Fang Yushengâs mood became extremely bad. The air around him started to turn cold. Just as it was about to freeze, Chi Baoguang suddenly got up and returned to the bedroom. Fang Yushengâs gaze followed the manâs back and he snorted softly.
This was the first time Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing received âNew Yearâs moneyâ. They were both flattered. The two of them even took a photo and sent it to the OK group.
Seeing their photos, the group was filled with shrieks and howls.
Zhuang Long: [Give me a father like this!)
Suzanne: (We should go to Binjiang City for our honeymoon.]
Fang Yusheng did not speak in the group. He sat on the sofa and faced the television, his expression turning uglier and uglier. Qiao Jiusheng noticed that Chi Baoguang did not prepare a red packet for Fang Yusheng. She felt that something was wrong, but she could not say it.
Qiao Jiusheng sat down beside Fang Yusheng. She leaned her head on Fang Yushengâs shoulder and said softly, âDonât be depressed. Iâll give you my red packet, okay?â
Fang Yusheng snorted. âWho cares.â
During the New Year in Binjiang City, firecrackers were not allowed. Fang Yusheng was in a bad mood. He ran to his room, turned on his computer, and connected to a loud sound system.
At midnight, more than ten loud firecrackers suddenly sounded in Dragon Harbor.
Bang bangn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bang bang
The voice was especially loud, and the Fang familyâs house seemed to be trembling.
Qiao Jiusheng was originally bathing, but she was alarmed by the loud sound and ran out with a towel wrapped around her in shock. Qiao Jiusheng asked Fang Yusheng, âWhoâs setting off firecrackers? You have guts. Arenât you afraid of being fined?â
Fang Yusheng remained silent.
He pressed his finger against the mouse, and then the explosion went off a few more times. All the residents of Dragon Harbor were secretly impressed by the big shot who had dared to openly light a cigarette on New Yearâs Eve. When they heard the sound again, they all ran out of the door and looked up at the sky. In the endâ¦
Where were the fireworks?
Only then did Qiao Jiusheng understand where the explosion came from. She could not help but mock Fang Yusheng. âAre you so bored that youâre panicking?â Qiao Jiusheng felt that Fang Yusheng was especially childish.
Fang Yusheng threw away the mouse and said in a muffled voice, âIâm going to take a shower.â
Qiao Jiusheng knew that he was unhappy, so she did not say anything.
After Fang Yusheng entered the bathroom, Qiao Jiusheng opened the red packet given by Chi Baoguang. She counted and realized that it contained more than 3,000 yuan. No wonder it was so full.
When Fang Yusheng came out of the shower and saw that Qiao Jiusheng was still counting the money, his originally relaxed heart instantly darkened. He snorted inexplicably and mocked Qiao Jiusheng. âHavenât you seen money before? Youâre still unwilling to let go after counting for so long.â
Qiao Jiusheng smelled strong jealousy.
She felt that Fang Yusheng was very funny and pitiful. Just as she was about to comfort Fang Yusheng, Fang Yusheng removed the towel and opened the cabinet door. He saw a gift box under his closet. Before Qiao Jiusheng could speak, Fang Yusheng asked, âDid you put this?â He stared at the box in surprise.
She did not expect Ah Sheng to prepare a surprise for her.
âWhat?â Qiao Jiusheng was puzzled. Fang Yusheng thought that Qiao Jiusheng was pretending. He bent down and picked up the box. He turned around and stared at Qiao Jiusheng, saying to her, âI found it. Tell me whatâs inside.â
Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.
She looked confused. It didnât look like she was pretending. She said, âI donât know. I didnât put this.â She pointed at the box and said, âBesides, would I choose such a tasteless gift box?â The box was a grayish-brown checkered box.
Such a straight manâs taste was indeed not Qiao Jiushengâs style.
Fang Yusheng finally believed Qiao Jiusheng.
She did not put it there. Then who put it in the room?
Fang Yusheng opened the box. Guess what he saw.
He actually saw a large pile of red packets. On each red packet were the words âCongratulations on getting richâ.
Fang Yusheng was speechless.
He poured the pile of wallets on the bed and counted them. There were actually thirty-four.
Fang Yusheng knew who this simple and rough style of doing things was without thinking too deeply. Qiao Jiusheng stared at the pile of red packets and did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, âIs your father planning to make up for all the red packets he has given over the years?â
Fang Yusheng did not speak, but his eyes lit up again.
âIt seems like itâs not that he didnât prepare a red packet for you, but thereâs another surprise.â Father Chiâs surprise was strong like the wind of Chi.
The person who had previously despised Qiao Jiusheng for loving money sat cross-legged by the bed and patiently counted the red packets over and over again. Every red packet contained 3,000 yuan. At that moment, Fang Yusheng received a red packet of 100,000 yuan. He was so happy that the corners of his lips curled up.
The next morning, Fang Yusheng woke up early and made breakfast for everyone.
In the past, he only knew how to cook instant noodles and pan-fry steak. Now, he also knew how to cook porridge, noodles, and pan-fry dumplings. When they woke up early in the morning and saw Fang Yusheng busy in the kitchen, everyone felt that they had seen a ghost. Especially Yan Nuo. In his impression, Fang Yusheng was a kitchen helper. He actually had a day when he would wash his hands and make soup.
Yan Nuo felt that marriage and love could allow one to be reborn again.
Chi Baoguang and Lisa woke up a little late. When they arrived at the dining room, they were surprised to see Fang Yusheng in the kitchen. Fang Yusheng served the breakfast on the table and called everyone over to eat. Chi Baoguang followed suit. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat when Fang Yusheng said to him, âWait for a while.â
Chi Baoguang glanced at him and obediently put down his chopsticks. He sat motionless beside the dining room.
Fang Yusheng fiddled in the kitchen for more than ten minutes before taking out a big bowl. âEat.â Fang Yusheng placed the noodles in front of Chi Baoguang.
Chi Baoguang looked down and saw that it was indeed a big bowl of noodles with an egg inside. Chi Baoguang was puzzled. Why did he have to eat noodles when everyone else ate porridge and fried dumplings? He picked up his chopsticks and picked at the bowl in confusion. He realized that the noodles were especially long.
Chi Baoguang stared at it and was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a bowl of longevity noodles.
