She Chose to Be Strong After Her Rebirth and Won Everything Back - Chapter 78

78 Chinese New Year
She didn’t know if it was the effect of the alcohol or something else, but Qu Zhi felt her face burning. She quickly turned her gaze away and looked at Sisi, who was sitting on the child’s chair and tapping her spoon.

Chuchu was stunned.

This was too much like a TV drama!

When she returned home after dinner, the Spring Festival Gala had already been going on for more than ten minutes.

Although Chuchu felt that the food was delicious, they were too slow! She didn’t want to miss the Spring Festival Gala skit.

!!
Although they weren’t returning, they still had to send a greeting.

Liang Wen and Qu Zhi’s phone calls never stopped.

The two of them were afraid of disturbing Aunt Hui and Chuchu, so one stayed in Chuchu’s room and the other stayed in the bathroom to make a phone call.

Although they didn’t need to see their relatives if they didn’t go home, they had too many clients and had to call them one by one.

When it came to clients, Qu Zhi was actually contacting her friends, classmates from the financial management classes, and the parents of Chuchu’s classmates more. This expanded her social circle by several times.

And Liang Wen was contacting a real client.

When Qu Zhi was done with her work, Liang Wen was still on the phone, giving his blessings in a very formal tone. At this time, it was already almost midnight, and the Spring Festival Gala was almost over. Chuchu had already wrapped herself in a blanket and was curled up on Aunt Hui’s lap.

Aunt Hui accompanied Sisi to sleep the whole day and was still full of energy. Sisi watched the people singing and dancing on TV and insisted that Aunt Hui help her stand up so that she could jump to the music.

Qu Zhi gently tugged at Liang Wen, using her eyes to signal him to look at Sisi.

In the end, Liang Wen, who was still on the phone in the bathroom, saw Sisi dancing around like a little rabbit and burst out laughing.

This New Year was much easier than before. In the past, when Liang Wen had nothing to do at home, he would always find a place to smoke or watch the children play. Most of the time, he would be sleeping or waiting for dinner. Qu Zhi was usually in charge of cooking.

During the new year, many relatives would come over to visit, and she would be busy cleaning up the melon shells on the ground. She had to sweep it in the morning and in the evening, and he still had to greet the guests.

In any case, whenever she saw Qu Zhi, she would either be holding a broom or a pot. Her entire body reeked of oil and smoke. Sometimes, Liang Wen would silently despise her in his heart, and Qu Zhi could naturally tell.

The relatives all knew that Liang Wen and the others were doing well, so it was common for them to ask for money. If they refused, they would have a headache, but if they didn’t, they would feel terrible.

But the most uncomfortable one was Huang Qing. When she asked for money, she would always show her face. As long as she stood at the door of Qu Zhi’s bedroom, Qu Zhi would obediently give her a year’s worth of money.

This was what Huang Qing had cultivated in her since she was young.

When Qu Zhi first received her salary, she always made her pay more than half. She said ‘gratitude for raising her’ and ‘heartless’ words. She was forcing her to do so. In the past, Qu Zhi was most afraid of her being like this, as it had become a habit of hers.

Huang Qing was still reasonable. Qu Zhi only came back twice a year, so she had to give her all the money at once. Not only did she have to play cards, but she also had to raise her son.

Even after the singer finished singing ‘Unforgetable Tonight1’, Liang Wen was still on the phone.

The sound of firecrackers began to ring outside the window at the edge of Jiang City. The silent fireworks bloomed on the dark horizon. The fireworks were set off far away, as small as stars.

Qu Zhi gently woke up Chuchu, who was sleeping on the sofa. Chuchu, watch the fireworks. She would catch a cold if she slept on the sofa and she hadn’t showered yet.

Chuchu opened her eyes in a daze and saw the fireworks outside. She rubbed her eyes again. “It’s so small!”

Of course, it wasn’t as big as the fireworks back home.

Jiang City’s housing rule was tight, and there wasn’t much open space, so it wasn’t good to set off fireworks. However, one had to cherish the time when they could see fireworks because fireworks would be banned on January 1st, 1995.

Back then, Qu Zhi was still sad. Without the sound of firecrackers, the New Year’s atmosphere was gone.

Aunt Hui smacked her head. Aiya, I forgot about the Spring Festival couplets.

She handed Sisi over to Qu Zhi, put on a coat, and was about to leave. Chuchu wanted to help, so she left the window to Liang Wen and Chuchu.

Once the Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the window, the entire house felt different.

“It’s the Chinese New Year!” Chuchu wrapped herself in the blanket and turned around. Sisi also waved her little hand and giggled with her toothless mouth.

Qu Zhi’s heart was about to melt.

Compared to every Spring Festival in her past life, this year was the most comfortable one for her.
