There are only three to five days left before the Chinese New Year. It is the weekend, and Su Jinqi plans to go shopping with Zhuang Xiaomeng.
In the morning, after dinner, while we were chatting, Aunt Hui came over and said that the sister of the Shan family was here.
Su Jinqi heard this and said, "I'll go out right now."
In the living room, Shan Sinuan was drinking juice. When she saw Su Jinqi and Zhuang Xiaomeng coming out of the restaurant, she quickly stood up and said hello with a sweet smile: "Hello, aunt, seventh sister."
"What do you want here?" Su Jinqi sat next to her and asked with a smile.
Shan Sinuan took the paper bag next to her and said, "It's okay. My brother came back from a business trip and brought back some local specialties. I brought some for you."
"Then thank you." Su Jinqi accepted it happily without refusing, and asked Aunt Hui to take the things down.
"Sister Shan is really thoughtful." Zhuang Xiaomeng praised her.
Shan Sinuan looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng with a little embarrassment, then brushed away the broken hair around her ears and said, "Auntie, I have a good relationship with the seventh sister, this is nothing."
"By the way, Si Nuan, where will you spend the Chinese New Year this year?" Su Jinqi asked.
"My brother said that he will spend the Chinese New Year at home this year without any fuss. This is really good news for me." Shan Sinuan said happily, "I used to spend the Chinese New Year abroad, which was not interesting at all."
"Seventh sister, what about you this year? Are you still going to the South Country?" she asked again.
Su Jinqi said: "We are too lazy to bother this year. My mother is here again and we are spending time at home."
"That's great!" Shan Sinuan said, "I can come over and play with you during the Chinese New Year."
While they were chatting, the elevator door rang. Su Jincheng lazily came out of it, glanced in their direction, and went to the restaurant.
"Jincheng!" Shan Sinuan stood up and greeted him enthusiastically.
Su Jincheng raised his hand and waved without looking back, "Morning!"
"It's late, it's almost ten o'clock." Shan Sinuan muttered and sat down again.
Su Jinqi said: "Si Nuan, my mother and I are going out now, so I can't chat with you anymore. Come back another day when you have time, okay?"
"Oh, you are going out, are you going to the streets to buy new year's goods?"
"Walking around the mall, do you want to come with us?"
"Okay, okay! It just so happens that I have nothing to do today."
Shan Sinuan was a little depressed when she saw Su Jincheng being indifferent to her, but now she became energetic again when she heard Su Jinqi's invitation. She wanted to take this shopping opportunity to leave a good impression on Zhuang Xiaomeng.
"Then you wait for us here for a while. We will go upstairs and change clothes, and then come down." After Su Jinqi finished speaking, she took Zhuang Xiaomeng and went upstairs.
Shan Sinuan got up and went to the restaurant, where Su Jincheng was having breakfast.
"Why did you come here today?" Su Jincheng asked.
Shan Sinuan sat opposite him, holding her chin with her hands, tilting her head to look at him playfully, and said, "Guess."
"I don't want to waste those brain cells. If you don't say it, forget it."
"Hey, I'm going shopping with your sister and your mother later, and you can come with me."
Su Jincheng took a bite of the bun, chewed it hard, and said coldly: "I'm not going."
Shan Sinuan carefully noticed his displeasure and boredom in his eyes, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with the seventh sister?"
"No, don't make random guesses." Su Jincheng finished eating the buns and said to her: "If you are fine, just go home and read books, catch up on TV dramas, go shopping with them, they are not on the same aesthetic channel."
"No, I think the aesthetics of Seventh Sister and I are quite in sync."
"That's up to you." Su Jincheng said as he walked out of the restaurant.
Shan Sinuan followed him and asked him: "What are your plans for the Chinese New Year? I won't leave this year. How about we go to the temple fair on the first day of the new year? Or maybe the fifth day of the new year."
"There are so many people at the temple fair on New Year's Day, so I won't go. And you shouldn't go either, because I'll overcrowd you."
"Instead of going to the temple fair, why don't we go to the movies? There are several New Year's films on New Year's Day. I really want to see them all."
Su Jincheng sighed silently, "There are people everywhere during the Chinese New Year. I really don't want to go anywhere."
"Isn't the Chinese New Year just about being lively? It's still called the Chinese New Year when there's no one around." Shan Sinuan curled her lips and said willfully, "I don't care anyway, I'll come to you during the Chinese New Year. You have to accompany me."
Su Jincheng didn't say yes or no, and walked upstairs with long legs.
Soon, Su Jinqi and Zhuang Xiaomeng also came down, and went out with Shan Sinuan.
Xintiandi Shopping Mall, with its red lanterns hanging high, is full of Chinese New Year atmosphere, and it is crowded with people.
"Auntie, what kind of dressing style do you usually like?" Shan Sinuan took Zhuang Xiaomeng's arm affectionately and asked obediently.
"I'm not particular about dressing. I don't know what style to wear, so I just dress casually and whatever suits my eyes."
"Me too, I feel that what I wear is pleasing to the eye and suitable. As long as I like it, I don't care what others think."
Su Jinqi saw a fashion store and said to Zhuang Xiaomeng: "Mom, let's go into this store and have a look. My mother-in-law often wears clothes from this brand."
After entering the store, the shopping guide recognized Su Jinqi and quickly came forward to introduce her warmly.
"Mom, what do you think of this?" Su Jinqi picked up a dark red double-breasted coat and showed it to her.
"Auntie, do you like this one?" Shan Sinuan also picked out a beige sweater and showed it to her.
Su Jinqi glanced at the clothes in Shan Sinuan's hand and said to Zhuang Xiaomeng: "Mom, you can try both of them."
"Okay." Zhuang Xiaomeng took the clothes and went to the fitting room.
Su Jinqi and Shan Sinuan were waiting outside, looking at her leisurely, and asked jokingly: "Sister Shan, you are so enthusiastic about my mother, do you want to leave a good impression on my mother?"
"Seventh sister." Shan Sinuan pursed her lips and smiled, "If you know it, don't say it. I'm so embarrassed."
"What's the point?" Su Jinqi said, "However, I don't think your path may be successful, and I don't want you to waste your time."
"What's the matter? I want my aunt to like me. Maybe Jincheng will like me too."
"Not necessarily. You'd better not hold out any hope on this."
"Why?"
"Don't ask why. If you really want to pursue Jincheng, you don't need to put all your efforts into my mother. You should put all your efforts into Jincheng."
Shan Sinuan saw that Su Jinqi was sincere and didn't seem to be teasing her, so she nodded and said, "Oh, then I understand."
Zhuang Xiaomeng had just changed clothes in the fitting room when another call came on her cell phone.
The call was still from the phone number that gave him a headache. She didn't want Su Jinqi to hear it, so she pressed the hang up button. But the other party refused and called again.
She had no choice but to pick up the phone and said, "Don't call me yet. I'm with my daughter and I don't want her to know."
The other party said: "Sister Zhuang, let me remind you that the Chinese New Year is in a few days. We can no longer keep your husband. If you don't take action by the end of the year, we will throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!"
