"So why is Ningning so favored at home all of a sudden?" Qin Yue suddenly thought of this matter. "I always feel that it is different from the last time she came back. This time... or recently, my parents suddenly treat her very well."

Qin Xin knew the reason, but she didn't dare to say it.

Ningning was only the eldest daughter’s daughter-in-law before, but now she is the daughter-in-law of two daughters. How could that be a bad thing?

The family status has doubled.

In order to prevent her sister from thinking too much, Qin Xin quietly changed the subject: "During this New Year, the relatives will definitely say something unpleasant."

Things in the company are too vested with interests, no one can be patient, not to mention that they are usually quite complaining.

You usually do a good job, so naturally no one says anything, but now there is a problem.

As the elders in the family, isn't it normal and appropriate for you to offer some suggestions and share some experiences at this time?

"What can they say?" Qin Yue snorted coldly, "It's just the same old stuff."

If they really had the ability to break the impasse, these people wouldn't be sitting idle at home. By then, who here would dare to say that he is more capable than Qin Yue?

So, what they call "guidance" and "experience" is a marriage.

Qin Xin also thought of it and couldn't help but smile: "It was okay before, but this year, they probably don't dare to say it so bluntly."

After all, Senior Ningning is also at the dining table.

Although the Qin family's relatives didn't care about Bai Ningning's identity and treated her as an ignorant little country girl, the problem... the problem was that they couldn't beat her.

Qin Yue couldn't help but curled her lips: "After listening to your analysis, I feel much more relaxed."

Yes, she has Ningning this year.

Ningning knew nothing about the sisters' private chat; she was eating.

Qin's father and mother sat on both sides, not moving their chopsticks, watching her dig alone. Qin's mother would occasionally reach out her hand and gently stroke her back.

"Eat slowly, slowly, don't choke."

Bai Ningning swallowed a mouthful of rice with great effort and shook her head: "Auntie, you don't know that eating quickly will make you feel better."

Father Qin slowly plated the walnuts: "Ningning, eat whatever you like. It's good if you can eat more. For human beings, being able to eat is a blessing."

Mother Qin thought that of course Ningning could eat it, as it had such a large space to store nutrients.

When the Qin sisters arrived at the restaurant, they saw such a happy scene. Today was the last day before New Year's Eve. All the friends who came to visit had left and returned to their own homes to celebrate the New Year. The relatives had not yet arrived, so it was rare that only the five of them were at home.

Qin's father and mother stood beside their daughter's wife, watching her eat with kind eyes.

Qin Yue stared at it carefully for a long time and found that it was just for eating and nothing else.

"Dad, Mom, why are you just looking at her instead of eating?" She sat down next to Bai Ningning, "You guys should eat too."

I thought Ningning was doing something very important.

"It's okay. Ningning is eating so happily. That's good." Mother Qin said with a smile. "I'll wait for you two."

The family of five sat down at the table and started eating. Qin Xin suddenly remembered something: "What are we going to do tomorrow? Are we going to the temple fair together?"

Qin's father put down the walnuts and said, "Well, every year... Mainly because there is nothing else besides this..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin's mother pulled him and said, "Tomorrow night your father and I will go hang out with some old friends. You guys can go to the temple fair."

Our two daughters are staying up with their wives to celebrate the New Year. Why should we get involved? Let's go find someone to play mahjong.

Chapter 20 Visiting the Temple Fair

"Senior Ningning, please get more sleep tonight."

After dinner, Qin Xin said this to her.

Bai Ningning tilted her head: "Why?"

"Because we have to stay up all night tomorrow," Qin Yue said, "We should play very late tomorrow night, so don't get sleepy in advance."

Oh, staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, there is indeed such an activity, but...

"How could I not be able to stay up all night and feel sleepy early?" Bai Ningning pouted her cherry lips, "Who am I looking down on?"

She is an old late-night player.

"Even so, Senior Sister Ningning, you wouldn't mind sleeping a little longer tonight, right?" Qin Xin said to her, "Or to be more precise, sleep a little longer tomorrow morning."

"Of course you can sleep if you want. I won't refuse." Bai Ningning blinked, "But you can't just sleep whenever you want."

Young people are full of energy and want to play video games when they wake up. Who would waste time sleeping?

"Don't worry," Qin Xin smiled, "my sister and I will help you, right sister."

Qin Yue snorted coldly and did not comment.

Bai Ningning blinked and tilted her head, but still didn't get the answer. Seeing the two sisters acting as riddlers in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh silently.

Times have changed. You two sisters have a better relationship and have started to have your own little secrets and no longer play with me.

Alas, life is not easy, Ningning sighed.

Bai Ningning slept normally at night and didn't try to stay up late. After finishing her daily mobile game and reading a novel for a while, she put down her phone and went to sleep.

Judging from the timing of going to bed, I will wake up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest.

This is when Qin Xin is needed, the considerate and gentle junior schoolmate. Last time she helped the senior schoolmate speed up her happiness, this time she will extend the senior schoolmate's sweet dream.

Knead the rice cake!

So, at one o'clock in the afternoon on New Year's Eve, Bai Ningning got up from bed yawning and walked into the living room.

"Good morning, Ningning. You've slept for so long," Qin's mother, who was watching TV, greeted her. "It's already this late when I woke up. You slept so soundly."

Mother Qin didn't know what to say for a moment about the young wife of the Qin family. She ate more deliciously than anyone else and slept more soundly than anyone else.

Is this the sweet and soft girl?

"Good morning, Auntie... Ah huh," Bai Ningning sat down and stretched, "I don't know why, I didn't sleep well last night, I feel like I'm sleepwalking and doing sit-ups again, I'm very tired."

It feels like going back to the first day I came here.

Mother Qin was slightly startled, and asked from the side: "Because you are going out to play with Yueyue and Xinxin tonight, are you too excited to sleep?"

"Not really, and I fell asleep very early," Bai Ningning muttered, "but my schoolmate kept telling me to sleep a little longer last night, and it would be best if I could sleep until now, so that I wouldn't feel sleepy when I stay up late to celebrate the New Year."

Oh, so that’s why.

Mother Qin understood as soon as she heard it, and couldn't help but sigh at the good intentions of her two daughters.

It's a pity for Ningning, as she was rubbed by the New Year cake again.

After a while, the Qin sisters also came back. I don’t know what they did in the morning, but the whole family was together and it was time to have lunch.

"My friends just left, and my relatives didn't come," Qin Xin suddenly sighed, "Today is such a rare day."

Bai Ningning agreed: "This is the essence of the Chinese New Year."

It’s so essence, just one day.

"Senior sister," Qin Xin asked her, "Have you ever been to a temple fair, the kind that's held during the Chinese New Year?"

Bai Ningning shook her head. She had been an orphan for two lifetimes, so how could her family take her to the temple fair during the New Year?

"Although I haven't been there, I've seen it on the computer," Bai Ningning tried to search her memory, "Do I need to wear a yukata? A particularly nice one."

I guess you watched it in anime.

"Senior, in anime, people wear yukatas when visiting temple fairs. That's their traditional attire," Qin Xin said. "You wore anime-style yukatas when visiting temple fairs during the Chinese New Year, which only proves that your concentration in the second dimension is a bit too high."

If someone takes a photo of you and posts it on Weibo, you will be called stupid ()2D.

Bai Ningning thought about it and realized that this made sense. She then asked, "What traditional clothes do we have to wear when visiting temple fairs during the New Year?"

"Not sure," Qin Xin thought for a moment, "Cheongsam?"

Bai Ningning tilted her head: "Then I..."

"No, it's very cold outside," Qin Yue stopped her from thinking this unrealistic idea, "and with your body, wearing a modern cheongsam and going outside... is not very comfortable."

The collar broke after a few steps.

"Didn't we bring back a lot of cosplay costumes?" Bai Ningning came up with another idea. "They are all Spring Festival limited edition skins from the mobile game. There must be something suitable, right?"

Qin Yue rolled her eyes: "Are you sure you want to wear those out?"

“…I don’t really want to.”

Each piece of clothing was cooler than the last, with less fabric than the last; some even had only a few strips of cloth.

Right, Liang Ye Xiang Xue?

"You don't have to spend so much time on clothes," Qin Xin suggested, "other things will work too."

So, at 8:30 in the evening, when it was completely dark, the three girls headed to the temple fair. On New Year's Eve, the streets were bustling with people, and most of them were heading in the same direction.

Bai Ningning was wearing normal everyday clothes, but her long hair was tied up into two round buns.

As Qin Xin walked, she looked up at her head from time to time, and the more she looked, the more she wanted to look.

lovely!

"Don't look at me, don't laugh," Bai Ningning sighed, "In the end, none of you have changed much, only I changed my hairstyle."

I feel like I've been cheated.

"Isn't it pretty good?" Qin Yue also looked at her cute bun from time to time, "It suits you well."

A pure and beautiful girl with two big balls on her body and two small balls on her head.

Emmmmm, one can’t help but wonder if Tuanzi is really pure.

Never mind, that’s not important. What’s important is that her girlfriend is really cute.

"It's already been done, a new hairstyle and a new look, it's a good omen for the coming year," Qin Xin said, "Senior Ningning, have you been here before? I mean on normal days, not during the Chinese New Year."

Bai Ningning raised her head and looked at the huge stone gate in front of her, on which was written its name - Xishan Temple.

Xishan is the name of this hill area, and Si means temple. This temple built on the hill was quite popular in the early years, but after all, the mountain is vast and sparsely populated, and there were few monks. In addition, it is located in the suburbs, so there are still many people around. Now it is more like a scenic spot than a religious place.

Temple fairs are basically held in the southwestern urban area of ​​Xicheng.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, the biggest temple fair of the year in Xicheng, and it is here at this moment. The star-like light of incense, candles and fireworks, like scattered moonlight on the ground, climbs up the hillside of Xishan Mountain.

"Where are we going to go first?" Bai Ningning asked excitedly, eager to try.

Having lived in Xicheng for so long, she had heard of Xishan Temple, but no one had ever accompanied her there.

"Eat and drink first," Qin Yue glanced at Bai Ningning, "You are wearing so little, let me warm you up."

Chapter 21 What do you think?

"Is everything okay at the temple fair?" Bai Ningning nodded, "I know."

Qin Xin laughed: "Senior Ningning, do you know this again?"

"I, I've seen it in anime," Bai Ningning continued her memories of the second dimension, "something like crepes, takoyaki, tempura, etc..."

Qin Yue couldn't listen any longer, so she pulled her to the side of the road and said, "Stop talking, come here quickly."

Although it is a roadside stall, it looks clean and sanitary at first glance. The tall, fully sealed cooking pot is placed on the stall like a tower, and hot steam is gushing out from the two-meter-high pot top.

Qin Xin went up to pay the money, and the auntie who was guarding the stall pressed the faucet under the high tower - a real faucet, carved into the shape of a dragon, and poured the fragrant soup into the bowl.

"Senior Ningning, drink this," Qin Xin handed her a disposable bowl, "it's good for your health."

Bai Ningning was unconvinced: "How good is it? Is it better than my nut nutrition powder?"

"Well, it should be better," Qin Xin thought for a moment and said, "This is Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup."

I took a sip and it was hot and sweet, and quite delicious.

However, compared to the soup, Bai Ningning was more interested in the tower pot used to cook the soup.

"By the way, why do you use such a strange-shaped pot to push it on the street to sell? It's very inconvenient, right?" Bai Ningning looked around. "There are so many customers. Is it really that popular?"

"It's mainly today," Qin Xin explained, "We drink this bowl every year at the temple fair. It's a tradition."

"Why?" Bai Ningning was puzzled.

"Because this is lotus seed soup, and it's located below a temple, the old people in the past thought that drinking a bowl of this during the temple fair was equivalent to receiving the blessing of the Bodhisattva," Qin Xin also looked at the high tower pot, "As for the shape, after all, it has a religious blessing, so it has a sense of ritual effect."

"I see," Bai Ningning nodded, "By the way, which Bodhisattva are you blessing?"

She had read Journey to the West and knew that there were many Bodhisattvas in mythology, each with their own responsibilities, and the blessings they sent of course also had their own functions.
