Yuqing had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner at Jiang Duoduo's house and watched the Spring Festival Gala with them. It was not until the clock struck midnight that she reluctantly went downstairs to her room 401.

Yuqing felt that as long as it was past midnight, the New Year would be over and she would have friends to celebrate the New Year with.

Seeing that Yuqing seemed reluctant to leave, Jiang Duoduo asked her if she wanted to stay with her for one night.

Yuqing laughed so hard that tears came out, and said that she lived downstairs and it wasn't that far away.

Just imagine their house as a duplex, then everyone is living in the same house!

Yuqing felt that she had gone too far by disturbing Duoduo at her home during the Lunar New Year holiday. If she continued to shamelessly stay, she would have to give up her reputation.

Jiang Duoduo didn't try to force him to stay, because as soon as the clock struck midnight, her cell phone started beeping non-stop.

Jiang Duoduo knew without even looking that these were New Year's greetings from classmates or friends whose contact information she still had.

Jiang Duoduo was not in a hurry to reply. She thought that after she and Chen Shuyue cleaned up the table, she would find some sentences with good meanings to reply to everyone when she returned to the room.

This is the lowest cost way to exchange gifts!

After Yuqing left, Jiang Duoduo and her daughter quickly cleaned up the plates and bowls and moved the dining table back to its original place, and there was basically nothing to do.

Since she had taken a shower in the afternoon, Jiang Duoduo only needed to wash up briefly before going back to her room to lie down.

Since they were young, every New Year’s Eve, their mother Chen Shuyue would call them to take a bath early.

Jiang Duoduo didn't know where this custom came from, but it was like that in her hometown.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, everyone starts to take a bath early to greet the new year with a fresh look.

Another thing is that you can’t take a shower on the first day of the new year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people not only don’t take a bath, they don’t even sweep the floor.

Fourth sister Jiang Niandi said she was a little tired at around ten o'clock, and she was the first to go back to her room to rest.

Yuqing was still playing at their house at that time!

Jiang Duoduo didn’t know whether her fourth sister was asleep now?

Do you still remember the habit of my mother Chen Shuyue putting New Year's money under their pillows every New Year's Eve?

When I was a child, my family was poor and each person’s New Year’s money was basically around ten yuan.

Later, my eldest sister, second sister, and third sister all got married.

Since the fourth sister was not at home, Jiang Duoduo's New Year's money gradually increased to 600 yuan.

Before going to college, Jiang Duoduo was still looking forward to every New Year’s Eve, because she could receive lucky money and eat a lot of delicious food!

"Duoduo, why are you standing there in a daze? If you have nothing to do, go back to your room and lie down."

Chen Shuyue came out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth and called out to Jiang Duoduo.

"Oh, okay. Happy New Year, Mom. I love you forever..."

Jiang Duoduo smiled with her eyes curved, and told Chen Shuyue that she would love her forever, just like when she was a child.

"Mom will always love you too!"

Chen Shuyue smiled, and there were already some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. But the happiness she felt at that moment was something she had never felt in all those years.

Tonight, Jiang Duoduo, her mother Chen Shuyue, and Yuqing sat on the sofa in the living room, eating snacks and chatting after Jiang Niandi went back to her room to rest.

The three of them chatted with each other and watched the entire Spring Festival Gala to the end.

Jiang Duoduo was a little impressed with herself for this. Although she used to wait until she watched the chorus of "Unforgettable Tonight" before going to bed, she basically watched it while lying on the bed with her mobile phone, and she would scroll back and forth for a long time to watch short videos.

Maybe it was because Yuqing was here today, or maybe it was because the sofa in the new house was too soft. Anyway, the three of them watched the Spring Festival Gala from beginning to end!

Just ask, on New Year’s Eve, who can sit there and watch the Spring Festival Gala till the end?

……

When Jiang Duoduo returned to her room, it was already past twenty minutes past midnight.

Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in J City, so when the clock struck midnight, Jiang Duoduo did not hear any popping sounds of fireworks and firecrackers.

Compared with the sound of firecrackers that go off one after another after midnight in the countryside, this really lacks the flavor of the New Year.

However, when Jiang Duoduo opened the curtains, what came into view were the lights of thousands of homes around her and the big red lanterns hanging in the public areas of the community. Didn’t the New Year atmosphere come all of a sudden?

Jiang Duoduo lay on the bay window in the room, staring at the lights of thousands of homes in the city for a long time without blinking.

Until she picked up her phone and looked at the time, ten minutes had passed unknowingly.

Then I remembered that the first thing I should do when I returned to my room was to reply to my friends’ New Year greetings.

Jiang Duoduo's phone is filled with WeChat messages of New Year's greetings.

Some people posted long and eloquent messages, while others were more perfunctory and only sent the four words "Happy New Year"!

In fact, Jiang Duoduo thinks that just sending the four words "Happy New Year" is fine. It is simple and clear and does not require much brainpower!

But... she still took a shortcut. She first found a long and flowing New Year's greeting message on Baidu, then modified it herself, and finally sent it to everyone with one click.

If you say Jiang Duoduo was attentive, she sent the message to a group of people with one click. If you say Jiang Duoduo was perfunctory, she even went to the internet to look for the greetings and then modified them herself.

"Done, I can finally open my treasure chest! Please bless me with the first wave of good luck in the new year!"

Jiang Duoduo threw her cell phone onto the bed, closed her eyes quickly, clasped her hands together, and muttered to herself, preparing to open a treasure chest like a devout believer.

drip...

Jiang Duoduo hadn't even clicked on the treasure chest in her mind yet! The beeping WeChat notification sound rang out from her phone again.

"Who is it? Disturbing me from opening a treasure chest!"

Jiang Duoduo muttered, grabbed the phone on the bed and took a look. Oh my god! Why did Luo Kai send her a long message?

Luo Kai: Jiang Duoduo! Are you born in the Year of the Snail? I sent you a WeChat message at midnight, and you didn't reply until one. You replied anyway, but you even wrote a bunch of long and eloquent blessings. What? You don't even plan to give Baidu a day off on New Year's Day?

Jiang Duoduo: ...? ?

How did the icy boss turn into a nagging shrew?

Jiang Duoduo: Are you really me? Could your account have been hacked?

Luo Kai: Steal an account for me and try! Little snail, since you're always so slow to reply to my WeChat messages! From now on, this name is yours exclusively.

Luo Kai replied to Jiang Duoduo half jokingly and half angrily.

He sent a message to Jiang Duoduo at exactly midnight on New Year's Eve. Jiang Duoduo was so nice that she replied to his WeChat message an hour later, and it was a group blessing message.

Can't I treat her differently?

Jiang Duoduo: Luo Kai, it's New Year's Eve, you're not just holding your phone and waiting for me to reply to your WeChat, are you? Your behavior... can easily be misunderstood...

Hahaha……

Jiang Duoduo lay on the bed and laughed out loud. It felt so good to control her former boss!

I’m really lucky in the new year, I’m sure I’ll win a big prize soon!
