When they arrived at the ward, Qin Peng's parents had also returned and were chatting with everyone.
Qin Peng first greeted Chen Qin and Xia Longgui, then placed the thermos on the table. He picked up the disposable cup beside him and prepared to pour water for everyone.
Seeing him like this, Chen Qin quickly said,"Peng Peng, you're welcome. We'll be leaving soon.”Xia Longgui also hurriedly echoed from the side, and Qin Peng no longer insisted.
Xia Linxi followed behind Qin Peng. After entering the house, she greeted Qi Qin Fujiang and Wen Meiqiong and didn't say anything else. There was no reason, but when she looked at the snow-white hospital sheets and the patient's gown on Old Master Qin, she felt uncomfortable.
When Old Master Qin saw that Qin Peng had returned, his expression was a little unnatural. He also saw that Xia Linxi did not say a word. He thought that the two of them were fighting again. He asked Qin Peng, who was pouring water,""Peng Peng, why did you two take so long? Did they quarrel?"
Xia Linxi was about to deny it when Qin Peng spoke before she could,""Grandpa, no, there were too many people fetching water just now. We waited for a while. Besides, we're already so old. Who's still quarreling like children? As she spoke, she handed the cup of hot water to Xia Linxi and whispered,""Take it to warm your hands. Your hands are so cold.”
Xia Linxi took the hot water and felt the warmth of the hot water in his palm. However, he thought about it again. How did Qin Peng know that his hand was cold? Was it when she gave him candy? It was just a touch, and he could feel it?
Qin Peng looked at Xia Linxi who was holding the hot water in a daze and couldn't help but remind her,""Don't be in a daze. The water is about to spill.”
Xia Linxi came back to his senses and quickly straightened the cup, afraid that the water would spill.
Seeing the two of them getting along harmoniously, Old Master Qin couldn't help but be happy. He smiled and said,"Yes, I'm all grown up now. It's not the time to hug me and cry when I was beaten up by Xiao Xi when I was young.”Everyone burst into laughter.
Qin Peng saw that his embarrassing childhood had been mentioned again. He helplessly called out," Grandpa," and then looked at Xia Linxi angrily.
When Xia Linxi was young, he was not afraid of anything. Qin Peng had lived two lives and did not stoop to Xia Linxi's level. When he was young, he was also hurt by Xia Linxi's beating, so he cried.
At this moment, Xia Linxi couldn't hold back his laughter. He could only avoid Qin Peng's gaze and pretend as if nothing had happened. He lowered his head and drank the hot water in small sips.
When they left, Wen Meiqiong insisted that Qin Peng go back with the Xia family's parents. After staying here for so long, how could a child endure it? Her heart ached when she saw it.
Qin Peng did not agree at first, but he had not gone home to rest for the past few days. Not only did his mother's heart ache, but his grandfather also saw it and felt pain in his heart. Moreover, the elderly were superstitious and felt that it was unlucky to spend the New Year in the ward, not to mention that Qin Peng was still a high school student. They also stood on their daughter-in-law's side and advised Qin Peng to go home. Qin Peng could not persuade them and finally reluctantly agreed to go home with Xia Linxi and the others.
When Qi Ziyu came out of the shower and dried his hair, it was already dark. He had just picked up his phone when he saw Xia Linxi's WeChat message: "Pengpeng, my mom wants you to come to my house to eat dumplings after you shower.”There was also a Shiba Inu emoji behind it.
Qin Peng looked at the WeChat message and couldn't help but smile. He typed a reply: "Got it. I'll go in a while."
Qin Peng stood in front of the door with the New Year goods that his parents had instructed him to bring to the Xia family. Just as he rang the doorbell of Xia Linxi's house, he heard the sound of footsteps dragging slippers. As soon as he opened the door, Xia Linxi couldn't help but complain,"Pengpeng, you're so slow. The dumplings are already cooked. We're just waiting for you.”
Looking at Xia Linxi's furious expression, Qin Peng couldn't help but rub her hair and said with a smile,""Got it, little gluttonous cat. Hurry up and go in.”
Xia Linxi shook off his hand. Just as he was about to flare up, Qin Peng had already entered the house. He handed the things he was carrying to Chen Qin and began to change his shoes."Auntie, my parents asked me to bring this braised eight flavors. It seems to be especially difficult to buy, so they asked someone to buy it. They said that they wanted you and uncle to keep it for yourself and not give it to others.”
Chen Qin couldn't close her mouth from smiling and praised Qin Peng for being sensible.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Qin and Xia Longgui also gave Qin Peng a red packet. Qin Peng refused to accept it, but Chen Qin insisted that he accept it, saying that it was something to get a good luck for the college entrance examination in the future. Qin Peng no longer insisted and accepted it with a mouth full of thanks.
After receiving the red packets, Xia Linxi and Qin Peng followed Xia Longgui out to set off fireworks. Xia Linxi raised the burning fairy stick and smiled at Qin Peng.
Qin Peng looked at Xia Linxi's smiling face that was illuminated by the burning fairy wand, and the specks of light reflected in her eyes. He could still hear her laughter. He suddenly felt that this year's Spring Festival did not seem to be as bad as he had imagined.
……
It was already the fourth day of the first lunar month when Old Master Qin was discharged from the hospital. In fact, Old Master Qin wanted to be discharged as soon as he could get out of bed after the operation, but Qin Fujiang and Wen Meiqiong insisted that Old Master Qin stay in the hospital for a few more days. When the attending doctor confirmed that Old Master Qin could be discharged, the two of them helped Old Master Qin to be discharged. Qin Peng's family could finally breathe a sigh of relief and have a good rest.
Qin Peng's family did not have a good New Year, so they could only celebrate the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.
However, for Xia Linxi and Qin Peng, who were high school students, there were only four days left before school started on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Xia Linxi had been playing too crazily during the early holidays and had completely forgotten about homework, resulting in her homework progress being about zero percent. However, she did not panic. She thought that Qin Peng had been busy taking care of Grandpa Qin for a long time and definitely did not have the time or mood to do his homework. It was better for the two of them to be criticized than one person.
However, there was always a struggle. Two people writing together was faster than one person writing. They supervised each other. Not bad, not bad.
Xia Linxi praised himself in his heart. He happily walked to Qin Peng's house with his homework and rang his doorbell happily.
As soon as Qin Peng opened the door, he saw Xia Linxi holding a stack of homework and looking at him with a malicious smile. He didn't know what he was up to, so he asked cautiously,""Xia Linxi, you're moving. Why are you carrying books to my house?”
Xia Linxi said proudly," I'm here to look for you to do your homework together. It's better for two people to do it than to fight alone."”As she spoke, she carried her homework and was about to enter the house.
Qin Peng looked at her smug expression and couldn't help but tease Xia Linxi. He said,""Winter vacation homework? I finished writing it long ago."
Xia Linxi's movements and expression instantly froze. She felt as if her soul had been struck. She looked at Qin Peng in disbelief and asked with a puzzled expression,""When did you write it?"
"It was just the few days after the exams and the few days after the holidays. The homework wasn't difficult. It was just a few papers and I finished it very quickly.”Qin Peng replied with a relaxed expression.
This was undoubtedly another blow to Xia Linxi. How many papers? There are more than sixty papers. How many are you telling me? Which family's few cards referred to more than 60 cards?!
Just as Xia Linxi was doubting her life, Qin Peng saw her expression change from smug to surprised to despair. It was more interesting than a drama series. He could not help but say again,""Xia Linxi, you haven't finished your homework, have you? School starts in three days.”
Xia Linxi's soul suffered another heavy blow. She believed that if there was a health bar on her head, it would definitely drop to a negative value with Qin Peng's two sentences. However, in order to protect her little dignity in front of Qin Peng, she still pretended to be fine and said with a smile,"No, how could that be? I finished writing long ago.”
As she spoke, she guiltily hid the paper that was whiter than her face behind her.
Qin Peng looked at her desperate face but pretended to be strong. He tried his best not to laugh out loud. He held the door and said,"Then, why did you come to me? If there's nothing else, I'm going to close the door." After saying that, he pretended to close the door.
"Don't!" Xia Linxi grabbed Qin Peng's hand on the door handle.
Xia Linxi only realized what a stupid thing he had done when he felt the warmth from his palm. He felt a little guilty when he took it away. If he didn't take it away, it would be too awkward to hold it like this. He didn't know whether to let go or hold it. Xia Linxi just held Qin Peng's hand and froze on the spot. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He held the test paper with his arm and held Qin Peng's hand with both hands. He said with a serious expression,"I'm here to wish you a happy new year.”
After saying that, he ran back to his house without looking back. When the door of his house closed with a " dang ", Qin Peng came back to his senses. He looked at his hand that Xia Linxi had just held and stood rooted to the ground. He did not know what expression to make for a moment. When he recalled Xia Linxi's " Happy New Year ", he felt as if countless f * cking horses had galloped past his heart.
What the hell?
Xia Linxi, who had returned home, lay on the bed and recalled the silly look on her face when she held Qin Peng's hand and wished him a happy new year. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Xia Linxi, you're so stupid. How embarrassing.
After wailing silently for a while, Xia Linxi finally returned to reality. He obediently sat down in front of the table, picked up his snow-white paper, and prepared himself to create a miracle.
When Chen Qin came to Xia Linxi's room and saw Xia Linxi rushing his homework, she looked like she had nothing to live for. She scolded him with some disdain,"You haven't finished your homework yet, right? "I knew it. With your procrastinating personality, you won't start writing until the last day. When we were on vacation, I told you to do more homework because you had nothing to do. There will be more time after the New Year, and you won't have time to do it. You didn't listen. Look at you now. There are only three days left before school starts. You're starting to 'hang your head over the beam, and your awl is piercing your bone'. You should have…"
Xia Linxi didn't even have the strength to refute her mother. She didn't move at all. She leaned on the table and said faintly,""Yes, Mom is right…"
Seeing her listless look, Chen Qin stopped criticizing her. She only said,"Hurry up and write. If you work hard now, it should be about time for school to start.”Then, she left Xia Linxi's room.
At this moment, Xia Linxi's doorbell rang. It was Qin Peng.
"Peng Peng! What are you doing?" Chen Qin asked Qin Peng as she looked at the papers.
"Oh, school is about to start! I was a little busy recently and didn't finish my homework. I guessed that Xiao Xi hadn't finished it either, so I came over to take a look.”
"It seems that Peng Peng still understands Xiao Xi! You guessed it right. She's writing in her room.”
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go look for Xiao Xi and do my homework.”
"Go!"
Xia Linxi, who was in the room, was depressed for a while. Looking at the mountain of papers, he remembered the angry look of his form teacher, Li Meng. He picked up his pen and prepared to fight it out for his winter vacation homework. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door opening in the living room. Along with the sound of the door opening was her mother's laughter. Xia Linxi could not help but be curious. She put down her pen and listened attentively. She was wondering who could make her mother laugh so happily.
Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar voice sounded."Auntie, I'm going to look for Xiao Xi to do my homework.”
Qin Peng? What was he doing here? Didn't he finish his homework?
