Married to a scumbag aunt
Chapter 170
The New Year's Eve dinner for seven people was not that lively, but it was warm and harmonious. Although there was still a language barrier, which caused a lot of jokes in communication, it was not harmful.
In the past, Lin Luoluo always liked to complain, and the taste of the New Year was getting weaker and weaker. In recent years, there is no feeling of Chinese New Year at all.It wasn't until last year that things were flying like dogs, Lin Luoluo felt that the taste of the new year should be light, and it's good to be safe and stable.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, my grandma wanted to watch the party with everyone, but in the end she was defeated by the years and couldn't hold back and went to bed early; while watching the party, Fang Ying helped her two friends translate the jokes of language programs: Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu helped Will clean up the dining table, then cut the fruit plate and went back to the living room to watch the party together.
It was almost midnight, Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu's mobile phones rang one after another, and there was an endless stream of phone calls and text messages for New Year's greetings. The phone here was still hanging up, and a new call came in.
Listening to the two people's constant New Year's greetings and laughing and chatting, Fang Ying subconsciously glanced at her mobile phone with a black screen on the coffee table in front of her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually faded.
She knew that she could not blame anyone, and that everything she did today was her original choice.
But even so, seeing the scene in front of her, Fang Ying still felt a little envious in her heart, and couldn't help but wonder, if she had chosen another path back then, would she still be calling New Year's greetings with her friends for many years now? What about the countdown to zero? ...
When Lin Luoluo came back from a phone call with her best friend, she happened to see Fang Ying slightly lowered her head and looking down, with a sad expression on her face.
what happens?Lin Luoluo subconsciously stopped and looked at the two people next to her. The two foreign friends were still watching the singing and dancing performance on TV seriously, very happy, as if nothing happened at all.
"Why are you standing here still?" Xi Lingyu also came back from the phone call, and patted Lin Luoluo who was still standing there.
Hearing the voice, Fang Ying quickly came back to her senses, looked up and patted the sofa next to her with a smile: "Come and sit down, the countdown is only 3 minutes away."
"Well, come right away." Lin Luoluo nodded, but grabbed Xi Lingyu's wrist and walked towards the balcony next to her.
"Is there something?" Xi Lingyu asked as Lin Luoluo stood by the French windows, looking at the red lanterns hung by Will in the yard.
Lin Luoluo whispered, "Just now, I felt that Auntie seemed a little unhappy."
In fact, Xi Lingyu noticed it when she went back just now, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only pat Lin Luoluo, breaking the somewhat subtle atmosphere.
"En." Xi Lingyu responded softly.
Lin Luoluo added: "Now that I think about it, Auntie seems to be looking at her mobile phone on the coffee table? Did that family send another message to anger her?"
"Probably not, there is no her mobile phone number over there." Xi Lingyu stretched out her finger and hooked the people around her, "Perhaps, she is also waiting for a New Year's call?"
"That's right!" Lin Luoluo thought it made sense, "After all, we were all fine before we came out to make a phone call. In the past ten minutes, that's all."
Seeing her excited look, Xi Lingyu originally wanted to explain what she just said casually, but swallowed it back.
"Ah, there is still one minute to count down." Lin Luoluo looked at the fireworks that had started in the distance outside, and glanced at the time on the phone, "Why don't I call auntie."
Turning her face sideways, seeing the serious expression of the person in front of her, Xi Lingyu froze for a moment, then nodded.
After getting the consent, Lin Luoluo immediately found Fang Ying's cell phone number and dialed it against the clock.
I don't know if Fang Ying was too surprised looking at the caller ID, and the prompt sounded four times before answering.
"Luo Luo?" As soon as the phone was connected, Fang Ying's doubtful voice came from the other side, and the host's countdown voice came from the TV.
Lin Luoluo hurriedly turned on the speakerphone, and touched the person next to her with her arm.
The fireworks outside are gorgeous, and the night sky is like day.
Xi Lingyu watched the little girl silently talking to herself.
The sound of the last three seconds counting down came from the phone, followed by the sudden burst of fireworks, and the phrase "Happy New Year" that the host tried to shout out on the TV.
"Happy New Year!" Fang Ying listened to the congratulations coming from the phone, her voice was submerged in the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, a little unreal, but it seemed to be conveyed through all the noise so accurately.
For a moment, Fang Ying felt something slipped down her cheek.
The friend next to him asked with concern: "Fang, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing." Fang Ying wiped away her tears with a smile, and shook her head, "It's been a long time since the New Year's Eve, I'm very happy."
The friend smiled and nodded understandingly, and congratulated in substandard Chinese: "Happy New Year."
"thank you, happy New Year!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Luoluo rested her head on Xi Lingyu's shoulder, looked up at the fireworks outside, and said with a smile, "I almost thought you didn't understand what I was talking about just now."
The sound of firecrackers gradually weakened, like a banquet that gradually returned to silence after the noise.A sense of loneliness suddenly rose in Lin Luoluo's heart.
"Every word you say, I will listen carefully."
The only trace of loneliness that had just emerged disappeared in an instant.
Lin Luoluo turned around and hugged her: "Happy New Year."
"Didn't I just say that?" Xi Lingyu hugged her back and smiled lightly.
"That was for Auntie, now it's for you...just for you."
Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and when the two went back to the living room, the two foreign friends looked at them with a somewhat teasing smile on their faces.
The evening party on TV also came to an end. Accompanied by soothing music, the host spoke affectionately about the summary of last year and his imagination for this year.
"It's getting late, we should go to bed, you two should go to bed earlier." Fang Ying got up and said with a smile, "Happy New Year. Mom came back too late this year, so I didn't prepare red envelopes for you. I will give you red envelopes next year." You make up a big one."
Seeing her in such a good mood, Lin Luoluo also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Then we are looking forward to the Chinese New Year next year. Good night."
"Good night."
When the three of them left, Lin Luoluo watched the replay of the party from the beginning on TV, and turned to the people around her, "Going to sleep?"
"Perhaps you have other plans?"
Although the fireworks boom outside has passed, there are still scattered fireworks exploding in the distance from time to time.Lin Luoluo didn't feel sleepy at all right now. She originally wanted to say that she should not go to continue the stall, but thinking that Xi Lingyu didn't have a good rest recently, she took the words back.
Shaking her head, Lin Luoluo said, "No."
"Want to go out for a drink?" Xi Lingyu, who had already seen through her little thoughts, asked with a smile.
"are not you tired?"
"People are refreshed on happy occasions." Xi Lingyu said, took her hand and walked towards the door.
Hanging on the hanger in the entrance are the camel coats of the same style that the two of them wore, which they bought together when they were in Kyoto.Lin Luoluo took hers from Xi Lingyu, put it on obediently, and then stood there watching Xi Lingyu put it on too.
The clothes are obviously the same, Lin Luoluo feels that wearing them on Xi Lingyu and wearing them on her body are simply two styles of painting - the financial channel and the children's channel.
Through the car window, Lin Luoluo looked at her face in the rearview mirror.It's a new year, and although the baby fat on my face has faded a bit compared to before, I can still see some residual shadows.
Couldn't help pinching her own face, Lin Luoluo curled her lips: Maybe you can get in if you change your school uniform and go to high school?
The car was parked in front of a bar with blue neon lights, probably because of the Chinese New Year, there were only a few cars parked at the door, Xi Lingyu found a parking space and parked the car, and brought Lin Luoluo into the shop.
Pushing the door open, Lin Luoluo was a little surprised.He was clearly calling a death-heavy metal name, but it was surprisingly quiet inside, with only soft pure music playing.
"Long time no see." The woman at the bar was half lying on the bar, but she stood up straight after seeing the person coming, and she greeted her very familiarly.
Pulling away the chair in front of the bar, Xi Lingyu signaled Lin Luoluo to sit down, and then she sat down too: "Long time no see."
"Finally willing to bring your partner here?" The woman asked with a smile, "Still the same?"
Xi Lingyu nodded, then turned around and asked, "What do you want to drink?"
Lin Luoluo glanced at the order book on the bar, chose the one she used to drink frequently, and asked her, "Come here often?"
"She used to be a regular customer in our store." The woman at the bar rushed to say with a smile, "But since she got married, this is the first time she came here, right?"
"I came here last time, but unfortunately you didn't open the door." Xi Lingyu smiled.
"Oh? Maybe it was the time when I went on a trip to find Yan|Yu?"
For such a blunt statement, Lin Luoluo was somewhat uncomfortable, and couldn't help feeling in her heart: Jianglin is worthy of being an international metropolis, and the people here are indeed more open.
"Have you found it?"
The woman shook her head while mixing the wine: "It's so easy. By the way, when I heard the news of your marriage, I thought I hadn't woken up and heard it wrong. It wasn't until I saw the trending search that I was sure I heard it right."
It seems that everyone around my little aunt had the same reaction to her marriage. Lin Luoluo turned her head and looked over: If I hadn't heard everyone complaining about it, I would never have imagined that such a person used to be an elm-headed person .
The woman said again: "I didn't expect that you stabilized earlier than me... It doesn't seem right to say that, you have always been stable. Forget it, I will give you a wedding gift tonight, and I will give you free bills. The present was a year late."
"It's never too late for a gift."
"Thank you." Lin Luoluo also thanked with a smile.
"You people, one by one, don't come here very much after getting married, and my revenue has dropped." The woman pulled up the chairs in the bar and sat down, chatting with them face to face, "Especially Qiao Mujin, who has been in this life for a long time. Once she has a child, she makes money around the child. Not to mention going out to drink, I heard that she can even push for entertainment."
"Isn't this good? Why drink so much wine if you have nothing to do."
"Listen, this is the self-consciousness of married people." The woman smiled teasingly and said to Lin Luoluo.
Xi Lingyu picked up the cup and took a sip: "Only by self-awareness can you have a partner."
"Tsk. You two should come here a few more times before you have children, and also provide some funds for my trip to find a partner." The woman joked, "If you don't want to drink, we also provide non-alcoholic drinks."
Hearing this, Lin Luoluo felt that the person in front of her was probably a born businessman.If you can't grasp the tone and sense of proportion when speaking out, you will easily drive away customers, but when she speaks out, it only makes people feel that the boss is very kind.
"Okay, I will definitely come when I have time." Lin Luoluo felt that this is the right way to respond in this kind of time.
While chatting, someone opened the door and came in.
The light in the bar was relatively dim, and the two parties could see each other clearly when they got closer.
"Why are you here?"
"You are here too?"
Lin Luoluo looked at Yun Han and Qiao Mujin who came in side by side and asked, "Where's Jin Shu?"
"Sleeping at her mother's place." Yun Han pointed to Qiao Mujin and said, "Today when I went back to her parents' place for the New Year's Eve, Jin Shufei said that she wanted to sleep with her grandma, so her mother coaxed her to sleep."
Qiao Mujin pulled out a chair next to the two of them, sat down with Yun Han and said, "It's also thanks to her pestering my mother today, otherwise Yun Han and I wouldn't have had the chance to come out."
"Just now we were saying that after you have a child, you only revolve around the child." The boss got up and said with a smile, "What do you want to drink? Same old?"
Yun Han nodded, but Qiao Mujin waved his hand and said, "Give me a glass of non-alcoholic."
"Tsk, one is more conscious than the other."
"Anyone else?" Qiao Mujin asked puzzled.
The boss gestured to the one who came earlier with his eyes.
Qiao Mujin smiled: "Isn't that good?"
The boss brought over the non-alcoholic glass and curled his lips: "It seems that I am not well."
Yun Han comforted with a smile: "Freedom is also pretty good."
Qiao Mujin on the side immediately asked nervously, "You don't miss being single again, do you?"
"Of course not." Yun Han tilted his head slightly and looked at her, "Didn't you not drink tonight? Why are you talking stupid like drinking too much?"
"Stop it..." The boss brought up another glass of wine, "Think about my mood during Chinese New Year, don't show off."
"Okok." Yun Han laughed.
Lin Luoluo bit the straw and looked at this side, and also laughed.It's great to have such a relaxed New Year's Eve.
"By the way," Yun Han suddenly turned around, looked at Xi Lingyu and Lin Luoluo, and said, "Tomorrow night...ah, it should be called tonight. There is a dinner party at the Royal Hotel. Have you sent you an invitation letter?"
"What invitation letter?" Lin Luoluo was at a loss.
"Sent." Xi Lingyu said.
Lin Luoluo was even more at a loss: "Ah? When did it happen?"
"When I was at Grandpa's place," Xi Lingyu explained to her, "but you were thinking about other things at that time, so you probably didn't care."
Hearing what she said, Lin Luoluo racked her brains for a while, and it seemed that there was such a thing, but she couldn't remember the specifics.
"Are you going?" Qiao Mujin asked.
Xi Lingyu didn't answer, but looked at Lin Luoluo.
"What type of dinner?" Lin Luoluo asked.
"The social type." Yun Han said, "Every year, they are basically those people, but in the past few years, the juniors of each family have almost graduated, so there will be some new faces in the past two years."
Hearing this, Lin Luoluo understood.This is the same as those occasional receptions in Kyoto where you find a famous person to hold a reception. One is to contact each other to discuss the latest business and see if you can get new cooperation; I hate it, there is always a relationship of interest that leads to a marriage.
Originally, Lin Luoluo didn't like such occasions very much, but now she also plans to work and settle in Jianglin, and her little aunt's company is also in Jianglin. If you can go to such a dinner party, you have to go.
"Go." Lin Luoluo looked at Xi Lingyu and said.
"it is good."
With Lin Luoluo's confused conversation just now, Yun Han asked uneasy: "Do you remember the time and place?"
"Of course." Xi Lingyu raised her eyebrows, "There's still me."
"Ah, yes."
Although she didn't say it clearly, Lin Luoluo felt that she had just been taken care of as an unreliable child—although in a sense, Yun Han was right to be worried.
"Then will you take the brocade book with you tomorrow night?" Lin Luoluo asked.She hasn't seen the little guy this time.
"No. The reception is too long, let my mother watch her tomorrow night."
"Oh—" Lin Luoluo's tone was a little disappointed.
Hearing from Pei Jin that Lin Luoluo also wanted to see Yun Jinshu, Yun Han said, "Why don't we go have dinner together at noon, Jinshu misses you too."
"Is this convenient? Do you have any other arrangements at noon?"
"No, the Qiao family doesn't have many relatives in the first place, and Mu Jin rarely interacts with them. My family... there are even less relatives." Yun Han's tone sounded very relaxed.
Thinking of the information about Yun Han's life experience that she saw on the Internet before, Lin Luoluo sighed in her heart: wealthy families are really a bottomless pit.
They made an appointment to have lunch together, and the four of them sat together for a while before leaving together.
Looking at the time, the two of them didn't go to grandma's side at all, and went directly to Xi Lingyu's apartment.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Lin had calmed down even though it was the Chinese New Year.Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise building, looking at the river surface shimmering with street lights, Lin Luoluo stretched, but the next second she was hugged from behind.
Xi Lingyu wrapped her arms around her waist from behind, her chin rested on her shoulders naturally, her breath was full of the faint aftertaste of perfume, mixed with a slight smell of alcohol.
"It's getting late, I have to get up early to go to grandma's place tomorrow." Although Lin Luoluo also longed for more touches, but on the first day of the new year, she should go early to pay New Year's greetings to her elders.
"Well, I know."
With the breath of speaking, a little fruity wine smell wafted from her ears, and Lin Luoluo couldn't hold back the restlessness in her heart.
"Go to sleep if you know... rest." In order to prevent her restless heart from completely losing control, Lin Luoluo even changed her words on purpose.
Hearing this unnatural change, Xi Lingyu chuckled: "I just want to hug you for a while longer."
Lin Luoluo opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. It seemed that it wasn't the restless heart that collapsed out of control, but the language system.
The living room didn't turn on the lights, but it was brighter outside the window than inside.In the quiet room, it seemed that the sound of breathing that was getting closer to each other, and the sound of heartbeat that was too obvious in Lin Luoluo's ears.
——It was so obvious that Lin Luoluo couldn't help but want to find a pair of earplugs for herself to put on, so as not to embarrass herself to death first.
However, the person embracing him seemed to have heard nothing, just maintaining that movement.The warm air in his breath hit his ears, and the restless restlessness gradually faded away, leaving only satisfaction and peace of mind.
The night lights along the road along the river also gradually went out, and it was night outside the window, quiet and comfortable.
When Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu arrived at grandma's house, grandma had already had breakfast and greeted the neighbors who came to pay New Year's greetings in the yard.
Seeing the two, grandma was a little surprised: "Aren't you sleeping upstairs? Why did you come back from outside?"
"Yesterday we went out to continue a stall. We played a bit late. We didn't come back because we were afraid of disturbing your rest." Xi Lingyu went to hug her grandma and said, "Happy New Year!"
"No matter how late you have to come back to sleep, everyone is sleeping soundly, and I can't hear you coming back." After the grandma finished speaking, she waved to Lin Luoluo and hugged her, "No matter what time you play in the future, you can play at grandma's house as long as you want." return."
"Okay." Lin Luoluo also hugged her back.
The neighbor next to him smiled and said: "Your grandson and grandson still have such a good relationship, I'm really envious. My grandson didn't accompany me for the New Year. He didn't know where he went early in the morning. I asked him to come back for dinner at night. , said that there was a dinner party for some high-class people at the Royal Hotel today, he was invited for the first time, so he must go..."
Although I only met this neighbor once, and I haven't seen each other for a long time, Lin Luoluo still felt a sense of familiarity blowing over her face after showing off.
Facing the unstoppable show off like a peacock spreading its tail, grandma just pulled the two of them to sit down and asked Xi Lingyu with an elegant smile: "Is this Royal Hotel's dinner going to continue this year?"
Xi Lingyu also nodded very cooperatively: "Yes, those few familiar faces come and go every year, and they are not tired of doing it."
Hearing this, the neighbor's face changed slightly.
Grandma answered, "Who saved the game this year?"
"Look at the invitation, it's probably the Xiang family."
"Are the young couple from Qiao's family still going?" The grandparent and grandson sang together.
Hearing the two talk so easily about the people their grandson had worked so hard to get in touch with, the neighbor's face became even more ugly.
However, the grandfather and grandson did not intend to stop.
Xi Lingyu said with a smile: "Go, why not go. Qiao Mujin and Yun Han will definitely support her in the big brother's game."
"Hey, it's your young people's world now." Grandma took a sip of tea from the teacup and said with a little emotion, "otherwise I really want to go and see the fun together."
"Come together. If grandma is coming, I think everyone present will be very happy."
"Are you sure?" Grandma leaned over slightly, and said with a smile, "If I go, there won't be much fun to watch tonight, right? Your two friends probably won't be very happy, either? Let's forget it and wait for you Just come back and tell me."
"Then the next time I play games, grandma must come."
"Okay." Grandma smiled and looked at the neighbor next to her, as if suddenly remembering, she said, "At that time, you have to invite the grandson of your neighbor's grandma. Since our two families live at such a distance, we must not forget it."
"Well, I will never forget it."
Lin Luoluo looked at the neighbor who only had facial expressions after the two of them started talking, and tried hard to hold back a smile.Obviously, when I showed off last time, I was beaten by my grandma once, so why don't I have a long memory?
"Then... thank you very much." The neighbor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he squeezed out this sentence from his lips, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb your family for the New Year."
"Go slowly, come play again when you have time." Grandma waved her hand and made up the knife by the way, "It happens that your grandson is about the same age as my granddaughter, so we can talk more about the children."
It's okay not to say this, but Lin Luoluo always felt that the neighbor's footsteps became faster after she finished speaking.
When the neighbor left completely and couldn't hear what was said here, Lin Luoluo laughed out loud, and asked the question in her heart by the way.
To this, grandma replied: "It's not that she doesn't have a long memory, she just has such a personality, and she can't help but want to show off when there is something in the house. At that moment, she couldn't tell whether this occasion was suitable for her to show off, She just felt that this incident would definitely make the others envious."
"What a strange psychology." Lin Luoluo half understood.
Xi Lingyu glanced at the time and said, "Grandma, Luo Luo and I went to see the little guy in Yunhan's family at noon today, so we won't be eating lunch at home."
"Are you going out to eat? Or at Qiao's?"
"go out."
"Then why go out, call their family of three to come to our house together."
"Then let me call and ask." Xi Lingyu didn't answer for them, although she probably guessed Yun Han and Qiao Mujin's answers.
Sure enough, upon hearing this proposal, the two readily agreed and said they would bring their children here now.
In less than half an hour, Qiao Mujin's car stopped at the gate of grandma's house.
The first one to rush into the yard was wearing a red-backed white fur-trimmed Yunjinshu with cute Chinese elements. The little guy was holding a big red lantern in his hand, and he jumped and ran in. He was so cute.
Seeing Xi Lingyu, she immediately hugged her: "Godmother!"
"It's grown taller again." Xi Lingyu raised her hand and patted her on the head lightly.
"I drink milk every day!"
"Awesome!"
After parking the car, Yun Han and Qiao Mujin walked over with their things, first greeted grandma, and then came and dragged Yun Jinshu to grandma.
"Call me grandma."
"Grandma, happy new year! Happy new year!"
The most simple blessings from the children made the grandma smile from ear to ear, and she took out a delicate red envelope from her pocket and handed it to her: "The grandma also wishes our little Jinshu a happy new year and a long and happy new year." Are you tall?"
Looking at the red envelope, Yun Jinshu didn't know whether to accept it, so he turned to look at Yun Han and Qiao Mujin.After getting the consent of the two, the little guy took the red envelope with both hands, and thanked happily: "Thank you, grandma!"
"Don't go outside, let's talk inside. What do you want for lunch?" Grandma took the little guy's hand and asked her while walking towards the house.
"Eat meat!"
"Okay, we eat a lot of meat! We grow taller by eating meat!"
The four walked behind, Yun Han smiled and said, "Look at grandma coaxing the children, do you two have any thoughts in the short term?"
"At the very least, let's wait until Luo Luo graduates and the job is stable."
Lin Luoluo walked beside Yun Han and whispered, "Sister Yun Han, can you come over here, I have a question to ask you."
"So mysterious?" Even though he said that, Yun Han followed her to the balcony beside him, "What's the matter?"
"When you and Sister Qiao decided to have a child, how did you decide who to conceive?"
"This..." Yun Han originally thought it would be a more private question, so he was taken aback for a moment and said, "It's actually okay to talk about it in front of the two of them."
"Well... because I haven't talked to my little aunt to this point, I want to consult you secretly first." Lin Luoluo twisted her fingers and said in a low voice.
Probably aware of her concerns, Yun Han replied earnestly: "Actually, when we decided to have a child, there were many other factors, so the planning was hasty, and the final decision was based on the workload."
"That's it..." Lin Luoluo nodded.
"At that time, I just accepted a very important movie, so Mu Jin decided that she would be pregnant." Yun Han said, "Actually, as long as the other party is her, no matter who is pregnant, another person will take care of the pregnant woman. It's very easy. Just like you and Lingyu, no matter who you choose to bear the burden of giving birth to a new life, you will do your best to take care of each other, won't you?"
"Well... yes."
"So, you can find a time to have a good talk about this matter, because it is still a matter between the two of you after all. The choice between me and Mu Jin may provide you with a reference, but the final decision is still between you two Discuss it yourself." Yun Han said softly, "However, not only will it be very hard for the person who chooses to become pregnant, but pregnancy will bring, and may bring many, many negative effects to the body. I hope you can also find out about it. At that time, Mu Jin and I made a hasty decision due to various reasons, so many things were only known after Mu Jin became pregnant."
Lin Luoluo nodded, indicating that she was listening.
Yun Han continued: "Other people—even Mu Jin and I, may care about your family planning from time to time, but when you really decide to have children in the future, we people can help you , In fact, there are very few, and everything is almost to be borne by the two of you. Therefore, Mu Jin and I hope that after you understand everything about childbirth—whether it is pregnancy, childbirth, or follow-up children Nurture, and then decide whether to live or not."
After hearing such heartfelt words, Lin Luoluo was very moved.
Perhaps even Lin Chunping would never have thought of telling her these words. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, having children and raising children is a matter of course and something that does not need to be considered. Those pains and hardships are all taken for granted.
"Thank you, Sister Yunhan. I will go and understand these with my little aunt, and then we will discuss and decide together."
"After talking so much, it's good that you don't find me annoying." Yun Han smiled, "After this year is over, and I'm a year older, I always feel like I've become a nag again."
"Don't nag." Lin Luoluo hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm really grateful to Sister Yunhan for being willing to tell me all these experiences. My little aunt and I are very happy to have a friend like Sister Yunhan."
"They said they were friends, so there's no need to be so polite. Let's go, let's go back. Before Pei Jin came to the house, you couldn't come, and Jin Shu kept talking about you."
In the living room, Yun Jinshu sat obediently on the sofa, watching the cartoon that Grandma Shi Yunxin had found for her, and kept amused along with the plot.Seeing Lin Luoluo approaching, Yun Jinshu immediately jumped off the sofa, ran over and grabbed Lin Luoluo's hand, and pulled her to sit beside him.
Xi Lingyu was sitting on the other side of Yun Jinshu, most likely "arranged" here by the little guy.Xi Lingyu was chatting quietly with Qiao Mujin over there, but Yun Jinshu didn't care that the godmother's attention was not on her right now, because she had found a new "partner".
The new partner Lin Luoluo has become the best listener at this time - when the animation sees the funny part, if Lin Luoluo doesn't laugh along with it, Yun Jinshu will seriously explain to her what the funny point of the plot is.
I have to say that the little guy spoke well, but for Lin Luoluo, these jokes were not funny.But seeing the little guy's hard work, Lin Luoluo still tried to cooperate with her and pretended to be amused.
Will and Fang Ying made lunch together.Originally, Xi Lingyu planned to help in the kitchen, but Fang Ying refused to come back.
Fang Ying said that she had nothing to do abroad during this period of time, and she also studied cooking.
Although there were only two people cooking, the lunch was still a very sumptuous table, even better than last night's New Year's Eve dinner. Two friends who watched Fang Ying called it "amazing".
Because there are three more members in the family, Will went to add the round table top that he bought at home and put it on the dining table. Everyone sat around the round table. Yun Jinshu counted the number of people, and said to Xi Lingyu at the door of the kitchen : "Godmother, you need ten pairs of chopsticks!"
"I finally counted myself in this time." Qiao Mujin teased her.
As a result, I got a blank stare from my precious daughter: "I am one year older, of course."
The straightforward childish language made everyone at the table laugh.
After lunch, the child is still a child after all, and fell asleep watching cartoons after a while.After Shi Yunxin asked Yun Han to put her in the guest room, a group of adults simply played cards in the living room.
Although Lin Chunping is good at playing mahjong, Lin Luoluo has not inherited any of Lin Chunping's advantages in playing cards.After two rounds of playing cards, Lin Luoluo was still overwhelmed by the rules.
"Swap someone, change someone." Lin Luoluo felt that this was even worse than math class in high school, so she hurriedly greeted the audience next to her, "Come and replace me..."
Xi Lingyu glanced at Fang Ying, got up and moved away from her seat and said, "Mom, come on, I'll teach Luo Luo."
"That's good." Grandma said while shuffling the cards, "The Chinese New Year is only lively when playing cards. How can you not know how to play cards?"
A new round of cards started, Xi Lingyu moved a chair and sat behind Lin Luoluo: "Show me what you come up with later, and I will help you advise whether it should come up with this."
"Okay!" With Xi Lingyu sitting behind her, Lin Luoluo had confidence again, but this confidence did not last long.
Looking at the cards played by the previous player, and then looking at the cards in her own hand, Lin Luoluo wanted to cry without tears: "You are useless at all, my cards... can't afford any of them!"
"No rush." Xi Lingyu acted steadily as if her hand was not a bad card, but a peerless good card.
Until the end of this round, Lin Luoluo only played a card once. Looking back at Xi Lingyu, the latter was still there, as if they were not the ones who lost the card just now.
Lin Luoluo couldn't help asking: "Why did you lose the card, and you looked like you won the card?"
"Lingyu has been like this since she was a child," Fang Ying said with a smile. "Whether you lose or win, you always look very stable. At that time, people who played cards with her often had no sense of accomplishment when they won. .”
"This is an advantage," said grandma, "it must be maintained. Losing or winning a game is a matter of one game. Only by not carrying your emotions to the next game can you play your cards rationally."
In this regard, Xi Lingyu said: "Luo Luo has an expression that is about to lose and cry. I have to balance my emotions. I can't lose with her and cry, let alone laugh out loud because I think she is cute like this." ?”
Hearing this explanation, everyone else laughed, but Lin Luoluo didn't know what to do.Smile, I always feel like a fool; don't laugh, and I feel a little out of place.
Finally, after the next round of cards was dealt, Lin Luoluo was still thinking about whether she should laugh or not.
"It's a sign." Xi Lingyu leaned forward and leaned on her back, her chin naturally resting on her shoulder.
Lin Luoluo regained her composure to make good cards, glanced at the whole deck, and couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of her mouth: Sure enough, Feng Shui turns!
Seeing her expression, Yun Han on the other side joked, "Luo Luo must have a good card. No matter how good Lingyu's emotional control is, it's useless. The one holding the card in front is a small colander."
"Then it seems that the winner of this hand is their young couple."
Sure enough, Lin Luoluo finally won.
The cards were played until Yun Jinshu woke up from his afternoon nap, and then the game ended.Yun Han and Qiao Mujin met Qiao's family to send Yun brocade books, and also went back to change the dresses for the dinner; Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu also left together, but they didn't go home, but went directly to her Shan Zhishi's dress shop in Jianglin.
Seeing the owner's wife coming, the clerk quickly greeted her: "Xi is always here to pick up yesterday's reservation.
In the past, Lin Luoluo always liked to complain, and the taste of the New Year was getting weaker and weaker. In recent years, there is no feeling of Chinese New Year at all.It wasn't until last year that things were flying like dogs, Lin Luoluo felt that the taste of the new year should be light, and it's good to be safe and stable.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, my grandma wanted to watch the party with everyone, but in the end she was defeated by the years and couldn't hold back and went to bed early; while watching the party, Fang Ying helped her two friends translate the jokes of language programs: Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu helped Will clean up the dining table, then cut the fruit plate and went back to the living room to watch the party together.
It was almost midnight, Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu's mobile phones rang one after another, and there was an endless stream of phone calls and text messages for New Year's greetings. The phone here was still hanging up, and a new call came in.
Listening to the two people's constant New Year's greetings and laughing and chatting, Fang Ying subconsciously glanced at her mobile phone with a black screen on the coffee table in front of her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually faded.
She knew that she could not blame anyone, and that everything she did today was her original choice.
But even so, seeing the scene in front of her, Fang Ying still felt a little envious in her heart, and couldn't help but wonder, if she had chosen another path back then, would she still be calling New Year's greetings with her friends for many years now? What about the countdown to zero? ...
When Lin Luoluo came back from a phone call with her best friend, she happened to see Fang Ying slightly lowered her head and looking down, with a sad expression on her face.
what happens?Lin Luoluo subconsciously stopped and looked at the two people next to her. The two foreign friends were still watching the singing and dancing performance on TV seriously, very happy, as if nothing happened at all.
"Why are you standing here still?" Xi Lingyu also came back from the phone call, and patted Lin Luoluo who was still standing there.
Hearing the voice, Fang Ying quickly came back to her senses, looked up and patted the sofa next to her with a smile: "Come and sit down, the countdown is only 3 minutes away."
"Well, come right away." Lin Luoluo nodded, but grabbed Xi Lingyu's wrist and walked towards the balcony next to her.
"Is there something?" Xi Lingyu asked as Lin Luoluo stood by the French windows, looking at the red lanterns hung by Will in the yard.
Lin Luoluo whispered, "Just now, I felt that Auntie seemed a little unhappy."
In fact, Xi Lingyu noticed it when she went back just now, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only pat Lin Luoluo, breaking the somewhat subtle atmosphere.
"En." Xi Lingyu responded softly.
Lin Luoluo added: "Now that I think about it, Auntie seems to be looking at her mobile phone on the coffee table? Did that family send another message to anger her?"
"Probably not, there is no her mobile phone number over there." Xi Lingyu stretched out her finger and hooked the people around her, "Perhaps, she is also waiting for a New Year's call?"
"That's right!" Lin Luoluo thought it made sense, "After all, we were all fine before we came out to make a phone call. In the past ten minutes, that's all."
Seeing her excited look, Xi Lingyu originally wanted to explain what she just said casually, but swallowed it back.
"Ah, there is still one minute to count down." Lin Luoluo looked at the fireworks that had started in the distance outside, and glanced at the time on the phone, "Why don't I call auntie."
Turning her face sideways, seeing the serious expression of the person in front of her, Xi Lingyu froze for a moment, then nodded.
After getting the consent, Lin Luoluo immediately found Fang Ying's cell phone number and dialed it against the clock.
I don't know if Fang Ying was too surprised looking at the caller ID, and the prompt sounded four times before answering.
"Luo Luo?" As soon as the phone was connected, Fang Ying's doubtful voice came from the other side, and the host's countdown voice came from the TV.
Lin Luoluo hurriedly turned on the speakerphone, and touched the person next to her with her arm.
The fireworks outside are gorgeous, and the night sky is like day.
Xi Lingyu watched the little girl silently talking to herself.
The sound of the last three seconds counting down came from the phone, followed by the sudden burst of fireworks, and the phrase "Happy New Year" that the host tried to shout out on the TV.
"Happy New Year!" Fang Ying listened to the congratulations coming from the phone, her voice was submerged in the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, a little unreal, but it seemed to be conveyed through all the noise so accurately.
For a moment, Fang Ying felt something slipped down her cheek.
The friend next to him asked with concern: "Fang, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing." Fang Ying wiped away her tears with a smile, and shook her head, "It's been a long time since the New Year's Eve, I'm very happy."
The friend smiled and nodded understandingly, and congratulated in substandard Chinese: "Happy New Year."
"thank you, happy New Year!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Luoluo rested her head on Xi Lingyu's shoulder, looked up at the fireworks outside, and said with a smile, "I almost thought you didn't understand what I was talking about just now."
The sound of firecrackers gradually weakened, like a banquet that gradually returned to silence after the noise.A sense of loneliness suddenly rose in Lin Luoluo's heart.
"Every word you say, I will listen carefully."
The only trace of loneliness that had just emerged disappeared in an instant.
Lin Luoluo turned around and hugged her: "Happy New Year."
"Didn't I just say that?" Xi Lingyu hugged her back and smiled lightly.
"That was for Auntie, now it's for you...just for you."
Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and when the two went back to the living room, the two foreign friends looked at them with a somewhat teasing smile on their faces.
The evening party on TV also came to an end. Accompanied by soothing music, the host spoke affectionately about the summary of last year and his imagination for this year.
"It's getting late, we should go to bed, you two should go to bed earlier." Fang Ying got up and said with a smile, "Happy New Year. Mom came back too late this year, so I didn't prepare red envelopes for you. I will give you red envelopes next year." You make up a big one."
Seeing her in such a good mood, Lin Luoluo also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Then we are looking forward to the Chinese New Year next year. Good night."
"Good night."
When the three of them left, Lin Luoluo watched the replay of the party from the beginning on TV, and turned to the people around her, "Going to sleep?"
"Perhaps you have other plans?"
Although the fireworks boom outside has passed, there are still scattered fireworks exploding in the distance from time to time.Lin Luoluo didn't feel sleepy at all right now. She originally wanted to say that she should not go to continue the stall, but thinking that Xi Lingyu didn't have a good rest recently, she took the words back.
Shaking her head, Lin Luoluo said, "No."
"Want to go out for a drink?" Xi Lingyu, who had already seen through her little thoughts, asked with a smile.
"are not you tired?"
"People are refreshed on happy occasions." Xi Lingyu said, took her hand and walked towards the door.
Hanging on the hanger in the entrance are the camel coats of the same style that the two of them wore, which they bought together when they were in Kyoto.Lin Luoluo took hers from Xi Lingyu, put it on obediently, and then stood there watching Xi Lingyu put it on too.
The clothes are obviously the same, Lin Luoluo feels that wearing them on Xi Lingyu and wearing them on her body are simply two styles of painting - the financial channel and the children's channel.
Through the car window, Lin Luoluo looked at her face in the rearview mirror.It's a new year, and although the baby fat on my face has faded a bit compared to before, I can still see some residual shadows.
Couldn't help pinching her own face, Lin Luoluo curled her lips: Maybe you can get in if you change your school uniform and go to high school?
The car was parked in front of a bar with blue neon lights, probably because of the Chinese New Year, there were only a few cars parked at the door, Xi Lingyu found a parking space and parked the car, and brought Lin Luoluo into the shop.
Pushing the door open, Lin Luoluo was a little surprised.He was clearly calling a death-heavy metal name, but it was surprisingly quiet inside, with only soft pure music playing.
"Long time no see." The woman at the bar was half lying on the bar, but she stood up straight after seeing the person coming, and she greeted her very familiarly.
Pulling away the chair in front of the bar, Xi Lingyu signaled Lin Luoluo to sit down, and then she sat down too: "Long time no see."
"Finally willing to bring your partner here?" The woman asked with a smile, "Still the same?"
Xi Lingyu nodded, then turned around and asked, "What do you want to drink?"
Lin Luoluo glanced at the order book on the bar, chose the one she used to drink frequently, and asked her, "Come here often?"
"She used to be a regular customer in our store." The woman at the bar rushed to say with a smile, "But since she got married, this is the first time she came here, right?"
"I came here last time, but unfortunately you didn't open the door." Xi Lingyu smiled.
"Oh? Maybe it was the time when I went on a trip to find Yan|Yu?"
For such a blunt statement, Lin Luoluo was somewhat uncomfortable, and couldn't help feeling in her heart: Jianglin is worthy of being an international metropolis, and the people here are indeed more open.
"Have you found it?"
The woman shook her head while mixing the wine: "It's so easy. By the way, when I heard the news of your marriage, I thought I hadn't woken up and heard it wrong. It wasn't until I saw the trending search that I was sure I heard it right."
It seems that everyone around my little aunt had the same reaction to her marriage. Lin Luoluo turned her head and looked over: If I hadn't heard everyone complaining about it, I would never have imagined that such a person used to be an elm-headed person .
The woman said again: "I didn't expect that you stabilized earlier than me... It doesn't seem right to say that, you have always been stable. Forget it, I will give you a wedding gift tonight, and I will give you free bills. The present was a year late."
"It's never too late for a gift."
"Thank you." Lin Luoluo also thanked with a smile.
"You people, one by one, don't come here very much after getting married, and my revenue has dropped." The woman pulled up the chairs in the bar and sat down, chatting with them face to face, "Especially Qiao Mujin, who has been in this life for a long time. Once she has a child, she makes money around the child. Not to mention going out to drink, I heard that she can even push for entertainment."
"Isn't this good? Why drink so much wine if you have nothing to do."
"Listen, this is the self-consciousness of married people." The woman smiled teasingly and said to Lin Luoluo.
Xi Lingyu picked up the cup and took a sip: "Only by self-awareness can you have a partner."
"Tsk. You two should come here a few more times before you have children, and also provide some funds for my trip to find a partner." The woman joked, "If you don't want to drink, we also provide non-alcoholic drinks."
Hearing this, Lin Luoluo felt that the person in front of her was probably a born businessman.If you can't grasp the tone and sense of proportion when speaking out, you will easily drive away customers, but when she speaks out, it only makes people feel that the boss is very kind.
"Okay, I will definitely come when I have time." Lin Luoluo felt that this is the right way to respond in this kind of time.
While chatting, someone opened the door and came in.
The light in the bar was relatively dim, and the two parties could see each other clearly when they got closer.
"Why are you here?"
"You are here too?"
Lin Luoluo looked at Yun Han and Qiao Mujin who came in side by side and asked, "Where's Jin Shu?"
"Sleeping at her mother's place." Yun Han pointed to Qiao Mujin and said, "Today when I went back to her parents' place for the New Year's Eve, Jin Shufei said that she wanted to sleep with her grandma, so her mother coaxed her to sleep."
Qiao Mujin pulled out a chair next to the two of them, sat down with Yun Han and said, "It's also thanks to her pestering my mother today, otherwise Yun Han and I wouldn't have had the chance to come out."
"Just now we were saying that after you have a child, you only revolve around the child." The boss got up and said with a smile, "What do you want to drink? Same old?"
Yun Han nodded, but Qiao Mujin waved his hand and said, "Give me a glass of non-alcoholic."
"Tsk, one is more conscious than the other."
"Anyone else?" Qiao Mujin asked puzzled.
The boss gestured to the one who came earlier with his eyes.
Qiao Mujin smiled: "Isn't that good?"
The boss brought over the non-alcoholic glass and curled his lips: "It seems that I am not well."
Yun Han comforted with a smile: "Freedom is also pretty good."
Qiao Mujin on the side immediately asked nervously, "You don't miss being single again, do you?"
"Of course not." Yun Han tilted his head slightly and looked at her, "Didn't you not drink tonight? Why are you talking stupid like drinking too much?"
"Stop it..." The boss brought up another glass of wine, "Think about my mood during Chinese New Year, don't show off."
"Okok." Yun Han laughed.
Lin Luoluo bit the straw and looked at this side, and also laughed.It's great to have such a relaxed New Year's Eve.
"By the way," Yun Han suddenly turned around, looked at Xi Lingyu and Lin Luoluo, and said, "Tomorrow night...ah, it should be called tonight. There is a dinner party at the Royal Hotel. Have you sent you an invitation letter?"
"What invitation letter?" Lin Luoluo was at a loss.
"Sent." Xi Lingyu said.
Lin Luoluo was even more at a loss: "Ah? When did it happen?"
"When I was at Grandpa's place," Xi Lingyu explained to her, "but you were thinking about other things at that time, so you probably didn't care."
Hearing what she said, Lin Luoluo racked her brains for a while, and it seemed that there was such a thing, but she couldn't remember the specifics.
"Are you going?" Qiao Mujin asked.
Xi Lingyu didn't answer, but looked at Lin Luoluo.
"What type of dinner?" Lin Luoluo asked.
"The social type." Yun Han said, "Every year, they are basically those people, but in the past few years, the juniors of each family have almost graduated, so there will be some new faces in the past two years."
Hearing this, Lin Luoluo understood.This is the same as those occasional receptions in Kyoto where you find a famous person to hold a reception. One is to contact each other to discuss the latest business and see if you can get new cooperation; I hate it, there is always a relationship of interest that leads to a marriage.
Originally, Lin Luoluo didn't like such occasions very much, but now she also plans to work and settle in Jianglin, and her little aunt's company is also in Jianglin. If you can go to such a dinner party, you have to go.
"Go." Lin Luoluo looked at Xi Lingyu and said.
"it is good."
With Lin Luoluo's confused conversation just now, Yun Han asked uneasy: "Do you remember the time and place?"
"Of course." Xi Lingyu raised her eyebrows, "There's still me."
"Ah, yes."
Although she didn't say it clearly, Lin Luoluo felt that she had just been taken care of as an unreliable child—although in a sense, Yun Han was right to be worried.
"Then will you take the brocade book with you tomorrow night?" Lin Luoluo asked.She hasn't seen the little guy this time.
"No. The reception is too long, let my mother watch her tomorrow night."
"Oh—" Lin Luoluo's tone was a little disappointed.
Hearing from Pei Jin that Lin Luoluo also wanted to see Yun Jinshu, Yun Han said, "Why don't we go have dinner together at noon, Jinshu misses you too."
"Is this convenient? Do you have any other arrangements at noon?"
"No, the Qiao family doesn't have many relatives in the first place, and Mu Jin rarely interacts with them. My family... there are even less relatives." Yun Han's tone sounded very relaxed.
Thinking of the information about Yun Han's life experience that she saw on the Internet before, Lin Luoluo sighed in her heart: wealthy families are really a bottomless pit.
They made an appointment to have lunch together, and the four of them sat together for a while before leaving together.
Looking at the time, the two of them didn't go to grandma's side at all, and went directly to Xi Lingyu's apartment.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Lin had calmed down even though it was the Chinese New Year.Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise building, looking at the river surface shimmering with street lights, Lin Luoluo stretched, but the next second she was hugged from behind.
Xi Lingyu wrapped her arms around her waist from behind, her chin rested on her shoulders naturally, her breath was full of the faint aftertaste of perfume, mixed with a slight smell of alcohol.
"It's getting late, I have to get up early to go to grandma's place tomorrow." Although Lin Luoluo also longed for more touches, but on the first day of the new year, she should go early to pay New Year's greetings to her elders.
"Well, I know."
With the breath of speaking, a little fruity wine smell wafted from her ears, and Lin Luoluo couldn't hold back the restlessness in her heart.
"Go to sleep if you know... rest." In order to prevent her restless heart from completely losing control, Lin Luoluo even changed her words on purpose.
Hearing this unnatural change, Xi Lingyu chuckled: "I just want to hug you for a while longer."
Lin Luoluo opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. It seemed that it wasn't the restless heart that collapsed out of control, but the language system.
The living room didn't turn on the lights, but it was brighter outside the window than inside.In the quiet room, it seemed that the sound of breathing that was getting closer to each other, and the sound of heartbeat that was too obvious in Lin Luoluo's ears.
——It was so obvious that Lin Luoluo couldn't help but want to find a pair of earplugs for herself to put on, so as not to embarrass herself to death first.
However, the person embracing him seemed to have heard nothing, just maintaining that movement.The warm air in his breath hit his ears, and the restless restlessness gradually faded away, leaving only satisfaction and peace of mind.
The night lights along the road along the river also gradually went out, and it was night outside the window, quiet and comfortable.
When Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu arrived at grandma's house, grandma had already had breakfast and greeted the neighbors who came to pay New Year's greetings in the yard.
Seeing the two, grandma was a little surprised: "Aren't you sleeping upstairs? Why did you come back from outside?"
"Yesterday we went out to continue a stall. We played a bit late. We didn't come back because we were afraid of disturbing your rest." Xi Lingyu went to hug her grandma and said, "Happy New Year!"
"No matter how late you have to come back to sleep, everyone is sleeping soundly, and I can't hear you coming back." After the grandma finished speaking, she waved to Lin Luoluo and hugged her, "No matter what time you play in the future, you can play at grandma's house as long as you want." return."
"Okay." Lin Luoluo also hugged her back.
The neighbor next to him smiled and said: "Your grandson and grandson still have such a good relationship, I'm really envious. My grandson didn't accompany me for the New Year. He didn't know where he went early in the morning. I asked him to come back for dinner at night. , said that there was a dinner party for some high-class people at the Royal Hotel today, he was invited for the first time, so he must go..."
Although I only met this neighbor once, and I haven't seen each other for a long time, Lin Luoluo still felt a sense of familiarity blowing over her face after showing off.
Facing the unstoppable show off like a peacock spreading its tail, grandma just pulled the two of them to sit down and asked Xi Lingyu with an elegant smile: "Is this Royal Hotel's dinner going to continue this year?"
Xi Lingyu also nodded very cooperatively: "Yes, those few familiar faces come and go every year, and they are not tired of doing it."
Hearing this, the neighbor's face changed slightly.
Grandma answered, "Who saved the game this year?"
"Look at the invitation, it's probably the Xiang family."
"Are the young couple from Qiao's family still going?" The grandparent and grandson sang together.
Hearing the two talk so easily about the people their grandson had worked so hard to get in touch with, the neighbor's face became even more ugly.
However, the grandfather and grandson did not intend to stop.
Xi Lingyu said with a smile: "Go, why not go. Qiao Mujin and Yun Han will definitely support her in the big brother's game."
"Hey, it's your young people's world now." Grandma took a sip of tea from the teacup and said with a little emotion, "otherwise I really want to go and see the fun together."
"Come together. If grandma is coming, I think everyone present will be very happy."
"Are you sure?" Grandma leaned over slightly, and said with a smile, "If I go, there won't be much fun to watch tonight, right? Your two friends probably won't be very happy, either? Let's forget it and wait for you Just come back and tell me."
"Then the next time I play games, grandma must come."
"Okay." Grandma smiled and looked at the neighbor next to her, as if suddenly remembering, she said, "At that time, you have to invite the grandson of your neighbor's grandma. Since our two families live at such a distance, we must not forget it."
"Well, I will never forget it."
Lin Luoluo looked at the neighbor who only had facial expressions after the two of them started talking, and tried hard to hold back a smile.Obviously, when I showed off last time, I was beaten by my grandma once, so why don't I have a long memory?
"Then... thank you very much." The neighbor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he squeezed out this sentence from his lips, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb your family for the New Year."
"Go slowly, come play again when you have time." Grandma waved her hand and made up the knife by the way, "It happens that your grandson is about the same age as my granddaughter, so we can talk more about the children."
It's okay not to say this, but Lin Luoluo always felt that the neighbor's footsteps became faster after she finished speaking.
When the neighbor left completely and couldn't hear what was said here, Lin Luoluo laughed out loud, and asked the question in her heart by the way.
To this, grandma replied: "It's not that she doesn't have a long memory, she just has such a personality, and she can't help but want to show off when there is something in the house. At that moment, she couldn't tell whether this occasion was suitable for her to show off, She just felt that this incident would definitely make the others envious."
"What a strange psychology." Lin Luoluo half understood.
Xi Lingyu glanced at the time and said, "Grandma, Luo Luo and I went to see the little guy in Yunhan's family at noon today, so we won't be eating lunch at home."
"Are you going out to eat? Or at Qiao's?"
"go out."
"Then why go out, call their family of three to come to our house together."
"Then let me call and ask." Xi Lingyu didn't answer for them, although she probably guessed Yun Han and Qiao Mujin's answers.
Sure enough, upon hearing this proposal, the two readily agreed and said they would bring their children here now.
In less than half an hour, Qiao Mujin's car stopped at the gate of grandma's house.
The first one to rush into the yard was wearing a red-backed white fur-trimmed Yunjinshu with cute Chinese elements. The little guy was holding a big red lantern in his hand, and he jumped and ran in. He was so cute.
Seeing Xi Lingyu, she immediately hugged her: "Godmother!"
"It's grown taller again." Xi Lingyu raised her hand and patted her on the head lightly.
"I drink milk every day!"
"Awesome!"
After parking the car, Yun Han and Qiao Mujin walked over with their things, first greeted grandma, and then came and dragged Yun Jinshu to grandma.
"Call me grandma."
"Grandma, happy new year! Happy new year!"
The most simple blessings from the children made the grandma smile from ear to ear, and she took out a delicate red envelope from her pocket and handed it to her: "The grandma also wishes our little Jinshu a happy new year and a long and happy new year." Are you tall?"
Looking at the red envelope, Yun Jinshu didn't know whether to accept it, so he turned to look at Yun Han and Qiao Mujin.After getting the consent of the two, the little guy took the red envelope with both hands, and thanked happily: "Thank you, grandma!"
"Don't go outside, let's talk inside. What do you want for lunch?" Grandma took the little guy's hand and asked her while walking towards the house.
"Eat meat!"
"Okay, we eat a lot of meat! We grow taller by eating meat!"
The four walked behind, Yun Han smiled and said, "Look at grandma coaxing the children, do you two have any thoughts in the short term?"
"At the very least, let's wait until Luo Luo graduates and the job is stable."
Lin Luoluo walked beside Yun Han and whispered, "Sister Yun Han, can you come over here, I have a question to ask you."
"So mysterious?" Even though he said that, Yun Han followed her to the balcony beside him, "What's the matter?"
"When you and Sister Qiao decided to have a child, how did you decide who to conceive?"
"This..." Yun Han originally thought it would be a more private question, so he was taken aback for a moment and said, "It's actually okay to talk about it in front of the two of them."
"Well... because I haven't talked to my little aunt to this point, I want to consult you secretly first." Lin Luoluo twisted her fingers and said in a low voice.
Probably aware of her concerns, Yun Han replied earnestly: "Actually, when we decided to have a child, there were many other factors, so the planning was hasty, and the final decision was based on the workload."
"That's it..." Lin Luoluo nodded.
"At that time, I just accepted a very important movie, so Mu Jin decided that she would be pregnant." Yun Han said, "Actually, as long as the other party is her, no matter who is pregnant, another person will take care of the pregnant woman. It's very easy. Just like you and Lingyu, no matter who you choose to bear the burden of giving birth to a new life, you will do your best to take care of each other, won't you?"
"Well... yes."
"So, you can find a time to have a good talk about this matter, because it is still a matter between the two of you after all. The choice between me and Mu Jin may provide you with a reference, but the final decision is still between you two Discuss it yourself." Yun Han said softly, "However, not only will it be very hard for the person who chooses to become pregnant, but pregnancy will bring, and may bring many, many negative effects to the body. I hope you can also find out about it. At that time, Mu Jin and I made a hasty decision due to various reasons, so many things were only known after Mu Jin became pregnant."
Lin Luoluo nodded, indicating that she was listening.
Yun Han continued: "Other people—even Mu Jin and I, may care about your family planning from time to time, but when you really decide to have children in the future, we people can help you , In fact, there are very few, and everything is almost to be borne by the two of you. Therefore, Mu Jin and I hope that after you understand everything about childbirth—whether it is pregnancy, childbirth, or follow-up children Nurture, and then decide whether to live or not."
After hearing such heartfelt words, Lin Luoluo was very moved.
Perhaps even Lin Chunping would never have thought of telling her these words. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, having children and raising children is a matter of course and something that does not need to be considered. Those pains and hardships are all taken for granted.
"Thank you, Sister Yunhan. I will go and understand these with my little aunt, and then we will discuss and decide together."
"After talking so much, it's good that you don't find me annoying." Yun Han smiled, "After this year is over, and I'm a year older, I always feel like I've become a nag again."
"Don't nag." Lin Luoluo hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm really grateful to Sister Yunhan for being willing to tell me all these experiences. My little aunt and I are very happy to have a friend like Sister Yunhan."
"They said they were friends, so there's no need to be so polite. Let's go, let's go back. Before Pei Jin came to the house, you couldn't come, and Jin Shu kept talking about you."
In the living room, Yun Jinshu sat obediently on the sofa, watching the cartoon that Grandma Shi Yunxin had found for her, and kept amused along with the plot.Seeing Lin Luoluo approaching, Yun Jinshu immediately jumped off the sofa, ran over and grabbed Lin Luoluo's hand, and pulled her to sit beside him.
Xi Lingyu was sitting on the other side of Yun Jinshu, most likely "arranged" here by the little guy.Xi Lingyu was chatting quietly with Qiao Mujin over there, but Yun Jinshu didn't care that the godmother's attention was not on her right now, because she had found a new "partner".
The new partner Lin Luoluo has become the best listener at this time - when the animation sees the funny part, if Lin Luoluo doesn't laugh along with it, Yun Jinshu will seriously explain to her what the funny point of the plot is.
I have to say that the little guy spoke well, but for Lin Luoluo, these jokes were not funny.But seeing the little guy's hard work, Lin Luoluo still tried to cooperate with her and pretended to be amused.
Will and Fang Ying made lunch together.Originally, Xi Lingyu planned to help in the kitchen, but Fang Ying refused to come back.
Fang Ying said that she had nothing to do abroad during this period of time, and she also studied cooking.
Although there were only two people cooking, the lunch was still a very sumptuous table, even better than last night's New Year's Eve dinner. Two friends who watched Fang Ying called it "amazing".
Because there are three more members in the family, Will went to add the round table top that he bought at home and put it on the dining table. Everyone sat around the round table. Yun Jinshu counted the number of people, and said to Xi Lingyu at the door of the kitchen : "Godmother, you need ten pairs of chopsticks!"
"I finally counted myself in this time." Qiao Mujin teased her.
As a result, I got a blank stare from my precious daughter: "I am one year older, of course."
The straightforward childish language made everyone at the table laugh.
After lunch, the child is still a child after all, and fell asleep watching cartoons after a while.After Shi Yunxin asked Yun Han to put her in the guest room, a group of adults simply played cards in the living room.
Although Lin Chunping is good at playing mahjong, Lin Luoluo has not inherited any of Lin Chunping's advantages in playing cards.After two rounds of playing cards, Lin Luoluo was still overwhelmed by the rules.
"Swap someone, change someone." Lin Luoluo felt that this was even worse than math class in high school, so she hurriedly greeted the audience next to her, "Come and replace me..."
Xi Lingyu glanced at Fang Ying, got up and moved away from her seat and said, "Mom, come on, I'll teach Luo Luo."
"That's good." Grandma said while shuffling the cards, "The Chinese New Year is only lively when playing cards. How can you not know how to play cards?"
A new round of cards started, Xi Lingyu moved a chair and sat behind Lin Luoluo: "Show me what you come up with later, and I will help you advise whether it should come up with this."
"Okay!" With Xi Lingyu sitting behind her, Lin Luoluo had confidence again, but this confidence did not last long.
Looking at the cards played by the previous player, and then looking at the cards in her own hand, Lin Luoluo wanted to cry without tears: "You are useless at all, my cards... can't afford any of them!"
"No rush." Xi Lingyu acted steadily as if her hand was not a bad card, but a peerless good card.
Until the end of this round, Lin Luoluo only played a card once. Looking back at Xi Lingyu, the latter was still there, as if they were not the ones who lost the card just now.
Lin Luoluo couldn't help asking: "Why did you lose the card, and you looked like you won the card?"
"Lingyu has been like this since she was a child," Fang Ying said with a smile. "Whether you lose or win, you always look very stable. At that time, people who played cards with her often had no sense of accomplishment when they won. .”
"This is an advantage," said grandma, "it must be maintained. Losing or winning a game is a matter of one game. Only by not carrying your emotions to the next game can you play your cards rationally."
In this regard, Xi Lingyu said: "Luo Luo has an expression that is about to lose and cry. I have to balance my emotions. I can't lose with her and cry, let alone laugh out loud because I think she is cute like this." ?”
Hearing this explanation, everyone else laughed, but Lin Luoluo didn't know what to do.Smile, I always feel like a fool; don't laugh, and I feel a little out of place.
Finally, after the next round of cards was dealt, Lin Luoluo was still thinking about whether she should laugh or not.
"It's a sign." Xi Lingyu leaned forward and leaned on her back, her chin naturally resting on her shoulder.
Lin Luoluo regained her composure to make good cards, glanced at the whole deck, and couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of her mouth: Sure enough, Feng Shui turns!
Seeing her expression, Yun Han on the other side joked, "Luo Luo must have a good card. No matter how good Lingyu's emotional control is, it's useless. The one holding the card in front is a small colander."
"Then it seems that the winner of this hand is their young couple."
Sure enough, Lin Luoluo finally won.
The cards were played until Yun Jinshu woke up from his afternoon nap, and then the game ended.Yun Han and Qiao Mujin met Qiao's family to send Yun brocade books, and also went back to change the dresses for the dinner; Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu also left together, but they didn't go home, but went directly to her Shan Zhishi's dress shop in Jianglin.
Seeing the owner's wife coming, the clerk quickly greeted her: "Xi is always here to pick up yesterday's reservation.
