Why are you in such a hurry

On New Year's Eve, the Cheng family was invited by the Yu family to have a New Year's Eve dinner. The two families reached a consensus on Cheng Xiaoqiang and Yu Lei's matter. The baby will be born first, and then they will continue to study. The baby will be taken care of by grandparents and will be adopted later. To Cheng Lili.

When discussing the matter of adoption, Yu Ye was also there. His expression was shocked at first, and then turned to pity. Yu's father and mother felt that their daughter and son-in-law were very young, and it would not be a problem to have more children in the future. There is no objection.

M City is not as cold as K City, but it is still cold in spring, and the fried dishes will cool down in a short time, so the most suitable thing is to eat hot pot.

Dad Yu set up a big table in the living room, and seven or eight people crowded around to warm up meat, vegetables and dumplings happily.

Yu's mother is old, and Yu Lei is pregnant with Liujia. Cheng Lili doesn't treat herself as a guest, and runs in and out to get seasonings, beer, and wash vegetable leaves.

The TV is on, the Spring Festival Gala has not yet started, and advertisements are flying all over the place. Most of them are enterprises and companies sending New Year greetings to citizens in advance.

Yu Lei wanted to drink coconut juice, but Yu Ye happened to be in the toilet and did not come out. Cheng Lili pampered her younger brother, so she rushed out to buy it.

Cheng Lili didn't bring her mobile phone with her when she left. When she went out with her front foot, the bell rang loudly with her back foot.

Yu Ye washed his hands, came out of the bathroom, and asked curiously, "Whose phone keeps ringing?"

Cheng Xiaoqiang was peeling the shrimp shells for Yu Lei, his hands were greasy, he leaned over and glanced at his sister's mobile phone, and saw the words "Miss Gu" flashing on the screen.

"It's Sister Gu." Cheng Xiaoqiang said with a smile, "Let my sister call back later."

But after a few seconds of interruption, the bell rang again.

Dad Cheng said, "Is there anything urgent?"

Cheng Xiaoqiang put the peeled shrimp into his daughter-in-law's bowl, and said with a disapproving smile, "What's the rush during Chinese New Year?"

"Why don't you help me? Tell Lili to go away and ask her to call back." Cheng Ma said.

Yu Ye didn't know that Cheng Lili was going to buy drinks for her sister, so she asked blankly, "Where did she go?"

"Go downstairs to buy coconut milk." Cheng Xiaoqiang glanced at his shiny paws, winked at Yu Ye and said, "Brother Ye, please answer the phone for me."

Cheng Lili used a smart phone, and the older generation didn't know how to use it. Moreover, Yu Ye was sitting next to Cheng Lili, and the phone was by his hand.

"Isn't that impolite?" Yu Ye hesitated for a moment, but didn't move, and the ringing just stopped.

Cheng Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "It's okay, you are not an outsider, and sister Gu is not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if you pick it up."

Just as he was talking, the phone rang for the third time, so Yu Ye had no choice but to swipe the screen to connect to the call.

"I thought you were deaf." That was the direct sentence on the other end, the tone was a little impatient, obviously complaining that Cheng Lili didn't come to answer the phone immediately.

Yu Ye couldn't help frowning, his tone reminded him of his unruly and willful girlfriend.

Didn't it mean that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups? How could Cheng Lili associate with this type of people?

"I'm sorry, Lili went shopping and didn't bring her mobile phone. I'll ask her to call you back later." Yu Ye explained softly.

Miss Gu was caught off guard when she heard a male voice, she couldn't help but froze: "...Xiaoqiang?"

"No, I'm not..." Yu Ye quickly denied.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I didn't recognize your voice." Gu Jianyin immediately changed his words, and his tone suddenly became humble and submissive.

Yu Ye: "..."

Gu Jianyin thought about it, and thought it was wrong. How could Father Cheng's voice be so young?

"Who are you?" There was a world of difference between the ferocious tone and the politeness just now.

"I, I'm Lili's...friend." Yu Ye hesitated for a moment, unable to remember the relationship between his sister's husband's sister and himself, so he could only use the general word "friend" to deal with it temporarily.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, Yu Ye thought the signal was not good, so he said "Hi", "Can you hear me?"

"Depend on!"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Yu Ye heard a similar single tone from the other party, he was startled, wondering if he should continue the call.

"Excuse me..." Yu Ye was about to ask her if she had something urgent to ask Cheng Lili, but the other party suddenly hung up.

It was inexplicable.

Yu Ye put the phone back on the table as it was, and heard Cheng Xiaoqiang ask him: "Did Sister Gu say anything?"

Yu Ye shook his head: "I didn't say anything, maybe I just wanted to chat with Lili."

Yu Lei asked curiously: "Your sister's colleague?"

Cheng Xiaoqiang said in an adoring tone while helping her with food: "How can my sister be a colleague with her? She is amazing. My uncle is an official in the Disciplinary Committee. She helped to vindicate my unjust case last time."

Yu Lei immediately showed an expression of admiration: "It's amazing, she is our great benefactor."

"It's her uncle who is amazing, not her." Yu Ye couldn't help retorting in a low voice.No wonder the man's tone was so arrogant, it turned out that there was such a big backer behind him.

Yu Ye's voice was not loud, and Cheng's father was shouting loudly with Yu's father, Cheng Xiaoqiang couldn't hear it very clearly, or he might argue with Yu Ye on the spot.

Gu Jianyin is a hero and idol in his mind, and no one is allowed to question or disrespect her in the slightest.

Yu Ye knew that Cheng Lili liked to eat dumplings, so before she came back, she quickly poured a dozen of them into the pot, so that she could eat them when she came back.

Yu Lei was careful, noticed her brother's actions, and pursed her lips into a snicker.

Cheng Lili hadn't been there for a short time, probably because the canteens were closed, so she had to go to the supermarket.When she came back, she was covered with cold, and her cheeks were red from the cold.

"Hurry up and drink some hot soup." Yu Ye scooped half a bowl of soup for her, and saw that the dumplings in the pot had started to float, so he added some to her bowl.

"Thank you." Cheng Lili took the bowl and pressed her hands against the wall of the bowl to keep warm.

Cheng Xiaoqiang took the coconut milk to the kitchen to heat it up, walked a few steps, turned back to Cheng Lili and shouted, "Sister Gu called just now."

"Oh." Cheng Lili responded, and looked down at her mobile phone, "No, there are no missed calls."

"I'll pick it up for you." Yu Ye smiled shyly beside him.

Cheng Lili shook her hand and almost spilled the soup.

"Are you answering my call?" Cheng Lili was shocked and angry. If it wasn't for the fact that he was her brother's wife's brother, she would have slapped the table and turned her face.

Yu Ye didn't expect her reaction to be so big, he was taken aback, and quickly explained: "She kept calling, Xiaoqiang was worried that she was in a hurry to find you, and at that time he was peeling the shrimp shells for Xiaolei... let I helped pick it up."

Cheng Lili's expression softened a little, and she hurriedly asked, "What did you all say?"

Yu Ye said: "At first she thought I was Xiaoqiang, then she thought I was your father, and then she realized that I was just your friend, so she hung up without saying anything."

Cheng Lili nodded and said, "Oh, that's it, um..."

Yu Ye saw Cheng Lili put down the bowls and chopsticks and wanted to walk away with her mobile phone, so she hurriedly dissuaded her: "She should have nothing serious, you can call her back after dinner, everything is going to be cold."

Cheng Lili smiled at him and said, "I'm the one looking for her for something urgent. Take your time, don't be too polite, and leave me alone." After speaking, she ran out of the balcony to make a phone call.

I don't know if Ms. Gu is acting petty, she didn't answer the call once, and didn't answer the second time, and she didn't hear her lazy voice until the third time.

"Why do you call when you have time, don't you need to accompany your friends?"

Cheng Lili asked suspiciously: "What friends are you with? I'm having dinner at my sister-in-law's house."

"Hey, that friend of yours still goes to your sister-in-law's house for dinner with you? Is he an empty nester or a bereaved orphan? Does the orphanage not have a New Year's Eve dinner this year? If I had known, I would have donated some money in advance."

Cheng Lili laughed: "It's Chinese New Year, don't curse people like that. Are you asking the person who answered my phone just now? He is my sister-in-law's brother, and I don't know what to call him."

Gu Jianyin said: "Call me brother, call brother to be more intimate, and it will bring you closer."

Cheng Lili: "..."

What's the matter with this yin and yang tone?Could it be that I was eating wrong...?

Cheng Lili felt a little happy, but more anxious.

"He and my brother are two completely different types, stable and gentle, no wonder there is such a beautiful girlfriend."

Gu Jianyin's tone returned to normal: "Oh? Have a girlfriend?"

"Yeah, wavy hair, good figure, and seems to be very rich."

"Cut, it turns out he's a little boy who eats soft food." Gu Jianyin snorted heavily.

Cheng Lili: "..."

"I hate wavy curls the most." Gu Jianyin added.It seems that whether it is Yu Ye or Yu Ye's girlfriend, Miss Gu is extremely upset.

Cheng Lili suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you eaten yet?" At this time, almost every household is eating New Year's Eve dinner, why is Gu Jianyin so quiet at the other end?

"Not yet, thinking about where to eat."

"Aren't you...don't go home to eat?"

"Zhong Xuan dragged Chen Jing back to her house, who will cook for me when I go home?"

Cheng Lili couldn't help complaining in her heart: Chen Jing doesn't seem to know how to cook, does she?

"I mean... where your parents are." Cheng Lili knew that Gu Jianyin didn't like her stepmother very much, but they were a family anyway, and they should get together during the New Year.

"Will they still be able to eat if I go? Forget it. In fact, it's good as it is now. Everyone cares about their own, so as not to hate each other."

Cheng Lili could occasionally hear the sound of a car whizzing by from the phone, and she guessed that Gu Jianyin should be walking on the street.

The deserted road, the shops on both sides closed early, just like the scene she saw when she went out to buy coconut juice just now, every house was lit with lights, and laughter floated in the cracks of the door, only the light from the street lamps With a lonely tone.

In an instant, Cheng Lili suddenly understood that Gu Jianyin called her probably because he wanted to talk to her about where to eat.

"You might as well eat dumplings later." Cheng Lili smiled, "We're having hot pot tonight, and we made a lot of dumplings during the day, including leek pork filling, corn pork filling, and cabbage pork filling."

Gu Jianyin said coldly: "It's you who like to eat, not I. I don't want to eat."

"Eat, let's eat dumplings together tonight." Cheng Lili knew that Miss Gu liked to hear her act like a baby, so she deliberately spoke in a soft tone, "I know there is a nice restaurant near your house, and the dumplings there are delicious .You follow the route I said, and it's easy to find."

Gu Jianyin said: "It's useless to find it. What day is it today? Hotels, big and small, are full."

Cheng Lili's nose was a little sore. She imagined the scene of Gu Jianyin wandering alone in the street. The night was as cold as water, the wind was biting, and the street lamps dragged her shadow for a long, long time.

I don't know if she wore the scarf she knitted for her.

"I'll go back tomorrow." Cheng Lili made up her mind.

"Don't say stupid things... Oh, my phone is running out of battery, let's do this first." Gu Jianyin ended the call.

As soon as I looked up, I found a half-new old restaurant on the opposite road—by coincidence, it might be the one Cheng Lili mentioned.

Gu Jianyin thought about it, and finally walked over.
