The eldest aunt was busy cooking in the kitchen, and Li Jinghan chatted with her eldest uncle. Su Jinrong and Su Jinxiu were not at home during the Chinese New Year this year. My brother found a girlfriend and went to the girl's house today to pay New Year greetings. As for Jinxiu, she gradually changed from her previous one.
I came out of the crackdown, changed jobs, started an emerging industry online with my classmates, and went to the south at the end of the year. My home, which used to be bustling every year, seemed particularly deserted this year. No wonder my eldest aunt was so excited when she saw them coming.
So happy.
The three children were playing on the floor in the living room. After Little Moon woke up, Su Jinqi carried her to the kitchen and chatted with her aunt. In the past two years, because of worrying about things with Jinxiu, she seemed to have aged a lot.
Sitting at the kitchen table, Su Jinqi fed Little Moon milk and asked, "What does my brother's girlfriend do?"
While cutting vegetables, Li Su'e said: "It was introduced by his colleague. That colleague's sister works as a clerk in the company department. Your brother has a good relationship with him, and that person knows that your brother is related to Jing Han.
, I thought about introducing my sister to him."
"You two get along very well, don't you? My brother is not young anymore. If it is really suitable, then let's settle it."
Li Su'e said: "That girl came to the house, and I didn't like it very much. Miss Jiao's temperament makes it clear that she is not a person to live in. But I can't help your brother liking her. I don't listen to anything I say, and I act like a pug every day.
Follow others and say whatever you want. Didn’t you propose getting married before? Then the woman’s family asked for a gift of 500,000 yuan. I saw that it was too much. We are not a family, so I didn’t agree.
.Because of this, your brother and I are not happy either."
Li Su'e kept complaining and complaining, as if she had been holding it in for a long time. She probably didn't have anyone to talk to, right?
"That 500,000 yuan is indeed too much. Isn't their family a common people's family? How much dowry can they give? Just do as much work as you have the ability to do." Su Jinqi agreed.
"No, that's what I said too." Li Su'e put down the kitchen knife, turned around and said to Su Jinqi: "Is Jing Han's family big enough? His betrothal gift was 600,000 yuan, but they dared to ask for anything from any family.
500,000? I see, these brothers and sisters have ulterior motives. They are not after your brother, they are after the Li family behind your brother."
Su Jinqi said: "Don't be angry. Whatever you say to my brother now, he won't listen. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Jing Han to chat with my brother later to see what he means."
"That's the best. Your brother can't listen to anything we say now, as if I would hurt him." Li Su'e sighed, sat over, wiped her hands with her apron, and looked at her face.
Looking kindly at the little moon in Su Jinqi's arms.
"If I worry about my children when they are old, it is my retribution. I think back then, I treated you and Jincheng harshly and made you angry. It was my fault. But the conditions at that time were really not good, and there were many children at home.
I have been worn down by life all day long, and my temper is not good."
Li Su'e sighed and said: "Qiqi, don't blame the eldest aunt. Look at you, you have been kind, sensible, and protective of your younger brother since you were a child. Now you are living a better life than anyone else. I tell you this every year. In fact, I am
Regret, I am really ashamed in front of you. Now I have found it all in my children. The big ones are not easy to worry about, and the small ones are even worse. Look at me, nothing has gone well for me in these years.
What's the matter? If it weren't for your mother, would I be able to live in this big house? It's because of your help."
"Auntie, don't say that. My resentment towards you has long since disappeared after Jing Han and I had children. It's normal for children to worry and they will get better slowly. Don't worry, I will
If Brother and Jinxiu really don’t support you, I won’t just ignore you. If Jinghan and I are together for a day, you won’t suffer or suffer.”
What Li Su'e had said to Su Jinqi was nothing more than this wish. When he heard her promise to him, a grateful smile appeared on his face.
"Qiqi, I know you are a kind child. Auntie, thank you."
Li Su'e also understood that if her son had a wife in the future, he would definitely not be able to find a wife. This was especially true for Jinxiu. She was in trouble and was no longer around. The only one she could count on was Su Jinqi.
"By the way, can your mother come back for the Chinese New Year this year?"
Su Jinqi said: "She called Jing Han before and said she was coming back. We don't know the specific date yet."
"It's not easy for your mother. She's living alone. I think she won't leave when she goes back this time. It would be great to follow you here." Li Su'e said, "Jincheng still doesn't recognize her?"
Su Jinqi pursed her lips and nodded, "Jincheng has been refusing to admit it. It's useless to say it. My mother and I don't force it anymore."
"When Jincheng gets married and has children in the future, you will understand. Don't worry. Jincheng is not like your brother. He is not just a person."
"I hope so."
In the afternoon, when dinner was served, Li Su'e cooked a sumptuous meal. The family chatted happily while eating. After eating, they sat for a while, and then Su Jinqi and his family were about to leave.
The old couple took them to the gate of the community and watched them get in the car and leave without rushing back to the community.
Su Jinqi sat in the car and looked back. The old couple stood under the sunset, waving their hands in the cold wind, looking old and sad.
Turning around, Su Jinqi sighed, "I really hate to see people grow old."
"Every day there comes a time." Li Jinghan shook her hand, "They are fine now, their health is fine and they can take care of themselves. It's pretty good."
"If it's not enough compared to the top, it should be more than enough than the bottom."
"Send the children home later. Zhehan has booked a private room and is waiting for us at the club."
Su Jinqi said "Ah" in surprise, "Why are you moving so fast?"
"I can't wait any longer." Li Jinghan smiled, "I called Huaiqian and Meiya out, and told Xiao Ai and Jin Chen that they must come back in the third grade of junior high school. He said that he would come back once a year, is that easy?
"
"Well, it's not easy." Su Jinqi said, "Then we have to be there. I don't know what happened to him and Mido, or whether there has been any progress."
"I guess it's not going well in the imperial capital." Li Jinghan said: "The affairs of Miduo's family are complicated and cannot be solved in a year or two. His abilities are limited, so he will definitely have a hard time."
"I didn't expect that the most dandy among us would now have a deep love affair. Love is so great!" Su Jinqi said with a smile.
"Hey." Li Jinghan also laughed, "People will eventually mature."
In front of the clubhouse, Xu Zhehan was on the phone with his hands on his hips, "Let me see. If I can't go back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I will definitely go back on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Don't rush me."
Su Jinqi and Li Jinghan got off the car and walked up to him. They didn't say anything, just looked at him with smiles.
