Rebirth: It's Not You, It's Me

"Wife, which day should I go to your house to pay New Year's greetings?"

"No need to come over, it's not that complicated."

"How can that be possible? We must not forget the proper etiquette!"

"Come on the second day, okay?"

"The day to welcome the son-in-law? This is a great day!"

"..."

"My mother and I will go there together then."

"Well, help me wish my uncle and aunt a happy new year." Hearing Yu Che's words, his mother should agree with the two of us, and his father should not agree, so only one parent came on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Why think so much? If the enemy comes, we will fight back. As long as Yu Che doesn't back down, there is no reason for me to back down.

Go ahead and fight, Luo Luo baby, I comforted myself.

"Okay, honey, I haven't seen you for several days. Do you miss me?"

"Kind of thinking about it!"

"Only a little bit? I'm going crazy thinking about you."

"I'll come find you tomorrow afternoon, let's go to the movies!"

"Great!" When Yu Che heard that they could meet tomorrow, his tone of voice rose a degree with excitement.

"Do you have any lucky money?"

"Of course I will give you all the previous 19 years."

"Is it so good?"

"It has to be good. You have to pamper your own wife."

We chatted about everything under the sun for nearly four hours.

The elders stayed up all night, and as the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala approached, my second aunt called me downstairs to cook dumplings together. We hung up the phone.

I ran downstairs and heard firecrackers outside. It was very lively in the middle of the night. After eating dumplings, everyone went home and went to bed.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, someone came to wish my parents a happy new year in the morning. My brother and I went to my aunt's house to set off firecrackers, and then went home to eat dumplings.

I changed into new clothes. I wore a long black down coat, a red sweater dress underneath, and a pair of short boots. A woolen hat, a rabbit fur scarf, and light makeup, and I looked like a soft girl.

I went out with Jiao to see my new bride. After walking around for a while, all my friends gathered together.

We all went to classmate Xiaolong's house and played for the whole morning, singing, playing poker, and the loser had to treat everyone to spicy noodles and drinks.

At this time, we have money and free time, and basically we are not married, have no children, and have no worries.

"Should we go to the county town to sing in the afternoon?" someone suggested.

"Sing in the afternoon and come back to party in the evening."

"I don't have time in the afternoon, but I can drive four people to the county town, and when I come back, I won't have brought back four." I said what I could do.

Everyone unanimously agreed to go out and have fun in the afternoon.

After lunch, Jiao and I drove to Xiaolong’s house to meet everyone.

There were Jiao, Yuxiao, Liuting, Zhaojun and a few of us sitting in my car.

There were five people in the remaining car, so they rented a van and took everyone to the entrance of the KTV they often went to.

"When you're done, call me and I'll pick you up!"

After I dropped everyone off, I said goodbye and left.

When I arrived at the entrance of the cinema, I saw Yu Che wearing a black down jacket, black sweatpants, white sneakers, a knitted hat and a big scarf.

I parked the car, ran over, and then jumped into Yu Che's arms, hanging on him like a koala. To see someone you like, you have to run.

Yu Che held me tightly in his arms.

It took me a long time to get off Yu Che.

"Honey, let's go in. It's very cold outside."

"Yeah, okay." We walked into the cinema hand in hand.

The movie he chose was a Chinese New Year cartoon. Yu Che bought popcorn and two cups of Coke.

When we entered the studio, we sat in our seats, holding hands and feeding each other popcorn.

Because we chose a seat further back, no one could see us being so affectionate.

The movie is not important at this moment, what is important is to see each other. Maybe this is the feeling of being in love!

During the entire movie, Yu Che's eyes were always on me.

"Brother Che, your eyeballs are about to fall out." I teased him.

"Wife, what can I do? I can't leave you. I miss you so much when I can't see you for a day. I wish I could force you to stay by my side."

"Only by meeting each other occasionally can we keep things fresh. It would be boring if we were together every day."

"No, I don't think it's enough to be together every day."

After watching the movie, we drove to a nearby river and played for a while. Actually, we just drove to the river. We didn’t even get out of the car. We sat in the car and chatted, kissed, and talked to each other.

Until the singers called me.

After I answered the phone, I looked in the mirror: "Huh, Brother Che, look, you kissed my lipstick all over my face and your mouth." I complained and took out a tissue to wipe myself and Yu Che. I also touched up my makeup.

"Wife, I'll go to your house tomorrow and we'll meet again."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"You are at a party today, so you are not allowed to drink!"

"Okay, I won't drink."

"Be careful when driving back, drive slowly."

"I can't drive any faster, you know."

"And these New Year gifts for you." He took out a thick stack of nineteen red envelopes from his pocket, and also a gold necklace.

"Brother Che, thank you." After saying that, I put a stamp on his lips again.

Only then did he send Yu Che to his home and then drove to pick up his sisters.

When we arrived at the entrance of the KTV, I got out of the car and went to the private room to find them. After waiting for a few minutes, they came out. My body was soaked with the smell of cigarettes and I felt a little sick.

The large army returned home in a mighty procession.

When they got in the car, Zhaojun asked, "Luo Luo, did you go to see your boyfriend?"

"Yes!"

"Where did you go? Why didn't you bring him here? Introduce him to the classmates."

"We had an appointment to go to the movies, and the tickets were already bought, so we didn't bring him along."

"Is this the gift he gave you?" Liu Ting pointed at the red envelope and jewelry box next to the central console.

"Ok!"

Then Jiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took the jewelry box: "Let me open it and see what the gift is?" Everyone was not interested in other people's red envelopes, but only in the jewelry in the box.

"Look!"

Everyone was stunned when the box was opened. "You're giving gold jewelry as a gift before you're even engaged. I admire you."

"If you have money, you will be willful."

"This is so much better than the people who keep accounts even when they buy milk tea."

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry. If Yun Feifei saw this, she would be furious!"

"Stop talking, it's New Year's Day." I reminded everyone not to say unlucky words because they would bring bad luck.

Everyone stopped talking tacitly and continued the topic.

After arriving home, everyone went home, had dinner, and prepared to go to the party.

The first thing I did when I got home was to change my clothes and take a shower. My mother scolded me, "Why are you washing your hair on New Year's Day? It's unlucky."

"I get it. I won't dare to do it again next time." I compromised verbally, but what I was thinking in my heart was that as long as I felt comfortable, it was fine.

After dinner, I told my parents that I was going to the party.

Jiao came to pick me up at home. Because I was timid, Jiao would come to pick me up when I went out at night, and she would take me home when I came back.

I put on a set of sportswear and a down jacket and went out. I didn't dress up carefully, after all, there was no one I cared about here.
