Chapter 971 Not Going Home for the New Year
Lu Qingye raised his eyebrows and didn't continue speaking because his son had already walked up to him.
"Mom and Dad, you're here?"
Lu Qingye reached out and took the schoolbag from his son's shoulders, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Are you tired from the exam? Are you hungry? Let's go to the restaurant to eat first."
"Why are we going to a restaurant to eat again? Aren't we going to go home to eat? Aren't we three going to eat together again?"
As Lu Jinhe spoke, he opened the car door and looked back at his parents.
Meng Wantang asked him, "What's going on? We asked you to have dinner with the two of us, but you're not happy?"
"No, I know this is a sign that my parents care about me. But just this once is enough, I already feel very happy. Grandma and my sisters should also come out for dinner. We are a family. Shouldn't a family be together?"
There is nothing wrong with what the child said.
Meng Wantang was particularly pleased to hear this.
"Mom has already called grandma, and she's already gone to the hotel with my sister. This hotel is newly opened, called Yancheng Hotel. There are not only places to eat in the hotel, but also places to stay."
When Meng Wantang thought of the territory chosen by that person, she instantly became extremely envious.
"I wanted to build a big hotel from the beginning. But there was no suitable location."
Meng Wantang has a dream, which is to open hotels all over the world.
In this way, when the children go out to play or go on business trips, they can stay in their own hotel. This is not only safe, but also reassuring for the family members.
"Are you talking about a big hotel like the ones abroad?" Xiaopang asked curiously.
Meng Wantang nodded and asked her son to get in the car first. She sat in the passenger seat after her son got in. Lu Qingye was already waiting in the driver's seat. He started the car only after he saw the mother and son get in.
"Yes, it's a big hotel like that that provides accommodation and also has places to eat."
Meng Wantang was still explaining when she suddenly remembered that her son had already seen a finished product, so she said, "Haven't you already seen it?"
“But isn’t that a hotel with local characteristics?”
Meng Wantang felt that her son suddenly became stupid at this moment.
"Of course, we have to build hotels in that area according to the style of that area, and we have to build hotels here according to the style of this area. This is a feature of our hotel. For example, in Yancheng, the hotels in Yancheng are different from those in other places. But if we go to a coastal city, we have to build hotels in the style of the coastal city. Although they are all our hotels and have the same name, the hotels in each area have different styles. In this way, others will find our hotels interesting."
"I see."
The child suddenly realized and said he had learned it.
We soon arrived at the hotel.
Lu Qingye parked the car in front of the hotel. Xiaopang got out of the car, looked up at the hotel, and after a while he seemed unsatisfied.
He whispered to Meng Wantang, "Mom, the hotels here are quite standard. They were just for fun at first, but their reputation has already spread. I guess many outsiders will stay here when they come here."
Meng Wantang glanced at his son with amusement: "What's the matter? Are you still worried about something that has no clue?"
Xiaopang said with a strange look on his face: "Mom, I think it's better to worry about it."
Ok?
Meng Wantang wanted to talk to her son again, but found that her son was pestering Lu Qingye.
Meng Wantang happened to see her family sitting by the window, so she walked towards them.
Lu Qingye knew that his son had something to say to him, so he deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for his son to speak.
"Dad, I think you should be prepared. Our family may have to have many hotels."
Lu Qingye was also confused by what Xiaopang said.
"Building a hotel is not a simple matter, and the staff need training. Many problems cannot be solved overnight. Moreover, the hotel your mother wanted was built by herself, according to her ideas, and it takes a long time to build a hotel."
Xiaopang didn't show any emotion when he heard this, he even smiled and nodded.
Then he dropped a bomb and walked away in style.
"But Dad, you don't seem to have noticed one thing. Whenever Mom wants to do something, even if she just says it casually, it will come true. It's as if God owes him something and wants to send everything to her. But he's worried that Mom will doubt it, so he uses another way to compensate Mom."
These words were too horrifying. Although it was just an analogy, it still made Lu Qingye shudder with fear.
After a while.
Lu Qingye came back to his senses. He looked up at the woman who was sitting by the window, holding her daughter and coaxing her to laugh. He had a vague feeling in his heart.
Maybe she shouldn't have left.
Or maybe he didn't belong here in the first place, and was accidentally dragged here.
There was only one person he liked from the beginning to the end, and that was the girl in front of him.
"What are you still standing there for? Come over and have dinner."
Lu Qingye's line was too hot, and Meng Wantang couldn't even notice it. She turned her head and saw the man standing there in a daze, so she waved at him and told him to come over quickly.
Lu Qingye walked towards him, sat next to Meng Wantang, reached out to take his daughter and put her on his lap.
As a result, the little girl refused to let her father hold her and insisted on going to find her brother.
Lu Qingye directly put the little girl into her brother's hands.
The little girl even called out sweetly: "Guoguo, Guoguo..."
Xiaopang couldn't help but complain while holding his sister.
"Why do I feel like my sister is not calling me, but some kind of poultry."
When these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
The food was served quickly. The two little girls had already started to help themselves. Although they didn’t use the food very well, they could still eat it.
Lin Su didn't bother with the two children. She and Meng Xun focused on eating.
Rarely relaxed.
Meng Wantang took advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention and lowered her head to ask Lu Qingye, "Why were you standing there in a daze just now? Did something happen?"
She was really perceptive and cared about him.
Lu Qingye shook his head slowly and said, "I just thought of the past. I felt that this scene was particularly happy. For a moment, I couldn't bear to come over and break it."
Meng Wantang thought something had happened, but she was instantly relieved.
"You were originally part of the painting. The painting will be complete only if you come here."
Meng Wantang suddenly said to everyone, "Look over there."
She pointed to one side, and the people eating looked over there at the same time, and then they heard a crackling sound.
Everyone was surprised.
Meng Wantang announced with a smile: "How can we not take a photo when we go out to eat? This is our family photo."
"It's a pity that Yunhe and the others haven't had their holiday yet. If they came, it would be a family portrait."
Lin Su has already started thinking about having a few older grandchildren.
"Now the high school students are on vacation, and the college students are almost done. Si Nian went out with his teacher to sketch, met many painters, and was taught by those great painters. The kid is now reluctant to leave, and I guess he may not come back for the New Year. Yunhe originally said that he would be back before the New Year, and I guess it would be good if he can get home on New Year's Eve. From this point of view, the only one who has a chance to come back for the New Year is Suihe."
"What if the second brother doesn't come back?"
Meng Wantang: "..."
"It doesn't matter whether they come back or not. What matters is that no matter where they are, they are our family."
Lu Qingye took the initiative to say: "If the three of them don't come back, we can go somewhere else to celebrate the New Year."
"Don't we all spend the New Year at home? How can we spend the New Year somewhere else?"
Xiaopang asked about everyone's doubts, and the only person at the table who had no doubts was Meng Wantang.
"No one says that we can only celebrate Chinese New Year at home, right? We can also travel during the Chinese New Year."
Lin Su was too embarrassed to refute her son-in-law, and she respected her daughter's choice. Even if she didn't understand, she wouldn't say no.
Lin Su never spoiled the fun, even if he was not interested and could not discuss, but if someone talked to him, he would still listen carefully and give some immature suggestions.
"But I still want to be at home. What if my brothers come back on New Year's Eve? If they come home and find that everyone is gone and has gone out to play, and no one has said hello to them, they will definitely feel very disappointed."
Meng Wantang listened to her son's words and nodded with some complexity.
Nowadays, people only think about going home during the Chinese New Year, because it is the place for family reunion.
A few decades later, people's lives have improved, transportation has become more convenient, and everyone's ideas have changed dramatically.
New Year’s Eve dinner is not prepared at home, but eaten outside. New Year’s Eve is not celebrated at home, but in the place you want to go most.
In short, many things have undergone earth-shaking changes.
This change is good, but it does not mean that the current custom is bad.
Meng Wantang likes the way her family lives together.
That feeling is really happy.
"I'm just expressing an idea. I'm afraid you've celebrated the New Year at home too many times and are tired of it. Since you still want to celebrate the New Year at home, let's continue to celebrate the New Year at home. Buy more firecrackers and fireworks for the New Year, but when setting off firecrackers and fireworks, you must hold incense, not matches."
Meng Wantang looked very serious when he said this.
She stared at Xiaopang. Children of Xiaopang's age are at the age when they are brave enough to move forward without knowing the consequences or fear.
"In the past, a child went to light firecrackers and blinded himself. Let me make it clear to you. When setting off firecrackers, even if they don't go off, don't go near them. Just pick up a new one and light it again. Don't hold the firecracker in your hand and look at it."
