The New Year was a joyful one. The happiest ones were Aunt Hui and Uncle Kui. The old couple seemed to really regard them as their own children. They gathered together during the New Year and the house was full of children. They were very satisfied.
Uncle Kui and Li Jinghan drank wine leisurely, chatting about old things, laughing and joking. Mingcan accompanied them, chiming in and reminding them from time to time, which served as a finishing touch.
After Su Jinqi finished eating, she took her children to the living room and turned on the TV to watch cartoons for them. After a while, Li Yasi came over.
"YELTS, do you want to have a video chat with mom? Wish her a happy new year?" Su Jinqi asked.
Li Yasi said reluctantly: "Although I don't want to, I still have to pay New Year greetings. You can make a video call to her."
Su Jinqi dialed the number, and Xu Peirong quickly picked up the call.
"Sunboy, give grandma a New Year's greeting and wish her a happy New Year." She said to the two children, facing the screen.
When Xu Peirong saw her grandson on the phone, she couldn't close her mouth with joy and kept shouting "Baby, baby."
"If you don't call me, I'm going to call you." Xu Peirong teased the child for a while, and then said to Su Jinqi.
"Mom, we'll call you right after we finish dinner. IELTS is here, you can have a few words with her." Su Jinqi pulled her over and said with a smile.
The mother and daughter looked at their mobile phones with sullen expressions, neither leaving the other nor talking to each other.
Su Jinqi pulled Yasi and said, "Didn't you say I wish my mother a happy New Year?"
Li Yasi said stiffly: "Mom, happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year."
"Yeah." Xu Peirong also snorted, "Be obedient to your brother and don't get him into trouble. I'll go back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and I'll give you the red envelope on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Okay, I got it." I don't know if it was because of the word "red envelope" that Li Yasi had a smile on her face.
The atmosphere relaxed somewhat, and after chatting for a while, he hung up the phone.
"Look, how can there be an overnight feud between mother and daughter? They all calmed down after just chatting." Su Jinqi said, "Let's call grandma again."
After calling grandma, Su Jinqi called Zhuang Xiaomeng and her eldest aunt to say New Year greetings. After a while, the two babies were a little impatient. Su Jinqi coaxed them and let them watch cartoons with peace of mind.
After some free time, Su Jinqi and Li Yasi also had time to chat.
"Sister-in-law, what if my brother doesn't let Mingcan and I go to Ocean Park on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?" Li Yasi asked.
Su Jinqi peeled off a piece of candy and threw it into her mouth, saying, "If I don't let you go, then don't go. In fact, it's not that you don't know IELTS, you just don't want to admit it, right?"
"Yes." Li Yasi naturally knew what Su Jinqi's words meant. Li Jinghan disagreed with her pursuing Mingcan. She saw clearly, but she just didn't want to admit it or give in like this.
"Sister-in-law, I want to be with whoever I like. I like Ah Can, why doesn't my brother agree? Just because he is his driver? Besides, why should I be subject to my brother and me about my own feelings?
At the mercy of my mother?" Li Yasi was filled with indignation when talking about this.
"Yasi, I remember your brother said this to me. Born in a wealthy family, there will always be one way or another that you can't help yourself. Have you ever thought about it? What will be the result if you insist on pestering Ah Can?
Because of you, Ah Can has suffered a lot." Su Jinqi said to her with sincerity.
"Yes, just because I pestered Ah Can before, my brother often used him to scare the monkeys." Li Yasi gritted his teeth and said, "My brother is so annoying!"
Su Jinqi chuckled, "Your brother does have his faults. But you should also think about it carefully. If you pester Ah Can so much and he doesn't show any affection for you, does that mean it's a problem?
"
Li Yasi said, "Either he just doesn't like me, or he just listened to my brother and suppressed his feelings for me."
"Sister-in-law, which kind do you think he is?"
"I don't know. I don't know much about Assistant Ming, and he is very sophisticated, so I can't guess his thoughts. You might as well ask your brother." Su Jinqi said jokingly.
Li Yasi slapped her sweetly, "Sister-in-law, stop teasing me. Anyway, I must go to Ocean Park on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year! I heard from Junxi that Miss Lin is very beautiful.
What if Ah Can falls in love?"
"Don't worry, Ah Can won't do it. He is such a loyal dog, I think your brother will have to arrange his future marriages."
"I hope I will be arranged for him." Li Yasi said with a smile.
Su Jinqi shook her head speechlessly, but couldn't help but ask again: "Do you really want to go? Aren't you afraid that your brother will deal with Mingcan?"
"I've thought about it. Instead of going with him, can we meet him by chance at the aquarium? Or can I follow him all the way? Am I very smart?"
"Mom said she's coming back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but you're not going to pick her up? I think you'd better not go."
"Let's talk about it then. It's really annoying. There are so many things to do during the New Year." Li Yasi complained in annoyance and nestled into the sofa.
In the restaurant, Li Jinghan and the others were still eating and drinking. Su Jinqi was working as a helper in the kitchen today and was very tired. She took the two brothers back to the room and lay down early. She couldn't get up as soon as she fell asleep and didn't even eat the snack dumplings.
On the first day of the new year, Li Jinghan took Su Jinqi, her children, and Li Yasi to her second uncle's house. They had dinner there and came back.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was the day to return to her parents' home. Zhuang Xiaomeng did not come back and went back to her aunt's house as usual.
Seeing their family of four come back, the eldest aunt greeted them happily, hugged the child again, and was very affectionate.
Su Jinrong came out of the room and greeted Li Jinghan with a playful smile: "Hey, brother-in-law, have a good New Year."
Su Jinqi smiled and said: "Brother, you just got up?"
"Oh no! I know you are coming back today and my mother woke me up early in the morning. Why don't I welcome your arrival?" Su Jinrong said in a non-serious manner.
My eldest uncle was listening and said: "You are celebrating the New Year, but you are so poor."
"Where's Jinxiu?" Su Jinqi asked.
The uncle said in a deep voice: "Before you came in, I answered the phone and went back to the room to make a call."
Seeing that her uncle looked unhappy, Su Jinqi quickly took the gift box she bought and said with a smile: "Uncle, look what I bought you. Knowing that you love fishing, Jing Han specially bought two good ones for you.
Rod. And I bought nutritional supplements for my eldest aunt. You two, take good care of your health, and my brother will give you a grandson in the future, and you can enjoy your old age in peace."
The uncle took the fishing rod and looked at it carefully. The workmanship was first-class and it looked like a good thing.
He stroked the fishing rod fondly and said, "When your brother gives me a grandson, it will be as long as the year of the monkey."
"Dad, how can you say that? Didn't I get you a girlfriend before?" Su Jinrong asked unconvinced.
When Su Jinqi heard this, he asked in surprise: "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Didn't your girlfriend break up?" Li Jinghan asked from the side, dousing Su Jinqi's happiness like a basin of cold water.
