Chapter 40 Chinese New Year
After Jia Dongxu got off work, he took his mother home.
This is indeed a problem of the Jia family. It is indeed not very glorious for the father-in-law to help support his own daughter-in-law.
Jia Dongxu didn't say anything to Qin Huairu, but his attitude towards her became even colder.
Qin Huairu didn't want to make trouble, so she went to lead Banggeng. However, after being brainwashed by Jia Zhang, Banggeng was not very interested in Qin Huairu.
This made Qin Huairu very sad. After all, this was her own flesh and blood. How could she not feel sad that such a good child was taught like this by Jia Zhang?
However, one can tell a child’s future from his childhood, and Jia Dongxu doesn’t discipline him much, so it’s not surprising that he will become an ungrateful person in the future.
This made her even more alienated from the Jia family, and then she stroked her belly with her hand, only then did she feel a little comforted.
The New Year is coming tomorrow, but the Jia family has not made any preparations. In previous years, Qin Huairu was the one who was busy running around at home, but now Jia Zhangshi does nothing at home, and Jia Dongxu doesn't care about anything either. It looks like this New Year will not be easy. If she had known this, she would not have come back.
In the evening, the old plot began to unfold again, and Yi Zhonghai began to convene a meeting of the entire institute.
The topic is very simple, which is whether everyone wants to have New Year’s Eve dinner together.
Most people are not interested in this. Isn't it better for everyone to live their own life?
Xu Damao said that he wanted to spend the time with his parents.
Yan Bugui and his family also live on their own.
Liu Haizhong's family is not short of money, nor does they want to live with everyone.
Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li are also preparing to return to Yu's home to celebrate the New Year.
In the end, only the siblings He Yushui and He Yuzhu, the deaf old lady, Jia Dongxu's family, and Yi Zhonghai and his wife celebrated the New Year together.
Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice and also his candidate for retirement care. The deaf old lady is his ally in this courtyard. As for Sha Zhu, he is a spare tire for retirement care. He Yushui can only be said to be a by-product.
After He Daqing and Bai Guafu ran away, the brother and sister have basically lived with Yi Zhonghai's family for the past few years.
What the Jia family said was more than they could wish for. The family had not prepared anything. Qin Huairu was originally worried about how to spend the New Year, but now she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
In fact, it was the same way in previous years. Yi Zhonghai held this institute-wide meeting just to maintain his image, go through the motions, and make his presence felt.
The next day, the Spring Festival, Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li were packing things and preparing gifts at home.
At this time, an expected person came to the door, yes, it was the third uncle Yan Bugui.
Of course, the reason for visiting is very simple, which is to "deliver" Spring Festival couplets.
It was called a gift, but in fact it was a door-to-door sales. However, Wang Jianfeng did not care about it. Anyway, his family needed it, so he readily paid the fee and took a few pairs of couplets.
Yan Bugui's service was impeccable, and he was thoughtful enough to ask his brother Yan Jiefang to help him put it on.
After the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, the two had almost packed up, and then they rode their bicycles and carried the gifts to Yu's house.
In fact, Wang Jianfeng only brought some bacon and eggs, two bottles of Erguotou and two packs of Huanghelou cigarettes, and some candy.
Wang Jianfeng had a hard time getting these two Huanghelou cigarettes, but it was worth it to give them to his father-in-law. Although Wang Jianfeng himself is a smoker, fortunately he has no smoking addiction, so smoking is optional for him.
I originally wanted to get some tea, but it's not easy to get it now, mainly because I can't find the way. Maybe there is some in Pigeon City, but you have to find it by chance. It might be easier to get it in the south.
After the two went out, they looked at the couplets posted on every household, and the whole city was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Yu's house was not far from the courtyard, and soon they arrived at Yu's house. Yu Haitang and her brother were already waiting at the door. When they saw Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li, they hurried over. "Sister, you two are finally here. I've been waiting for a long time."
"Who asked you to wait for us? I don't even know my own home, you are probably waiting for something delicious."
"Humph, that's not the case."
Yu Haitang rolled her eyes at Yu Li and ignored her.
Wang Jianfeng was also very tactful and took out candies to give to his sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
Then they went back to Yu Li's house talking and laughing.
Seeing Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li bringing in large and small bags of chicken, bacon, cigarettes and alcohol, Yu's neighbors were extremely envious.
Yu's father and mother were also very happy. This son-in-law really earned them a lot of face, and they never stopped smiling.
When he arrived at Yu's house, Wang Jianfeng wanted to show off, but his cooking skills were really not that good, so he could only help silently on the side.
However, Yu Li also disliked this and was kicked out of the kitchen.
Then there was the unified posture of sons-in-law across the country going to their wives' parents' homes to celebrate the New Year. Wang Jianfeng couldn't help but think that it would be nice if he had a mobile phone or something now.
After that, he chatted with his father-in-law in random places and gradually became familiar with the Yu family. It was not until the meal was served that Wang Jianfeng felt a little relieved. After all, chatting with his father-in-law was indeed a bit torment.
This New Year’s Eve dinner was the real New Year’s Eve dinner for Wang Jianfeng since he came to this era. In the previous few years, when he had just come to this era, he often seemed out of place. He did not dare to go back to his hometown for fear of being exposed. He could only celebrate the New Year and other festivals alone, and sometimes with classmates.
It’s just that there’s no festive atmosphere and no family to accompany me. This year, not only have I settled down, I also have a wife. It really feels different to celebrate the New Year with my family.
The New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, and the meat brought by Wang Jianfeng made it even richer. The whole family enjoyed the meal very happily, and Wang Jianfeng thought that in a few years, his family would be like this.
After dinner, Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li went home in two days, and they were going to stay up together tonight to celebrate the New Year.
A lot of food was prepared, and the two of them were chatting and laughing in the living room. Although it was not as lively as Yu's house, such a big house did seem a bit deserted with only two people.
After all, this is a small home for two people. Although there are not enough people, it is very warm. Regarding the issue of too few people, Wang Jianfeng will have to work overtime again tonight.
With so many rooms now, we need at least three or five children to make the house lively.
The old year has passed, and the new year has arrived. We bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and the new year brings new prospects.
The weather was still very cold, so Wang Jianfeng and Yu Li slept in for a rare time and also did morning exercises.
"It's all your fault that I haven't woken up yet so late."
"This is not for the purpose of expanding our Wang family."
Yu Li gave Wang Jianfeng a coquettish look, and without saying anything, she stretched her body, exposing her two big white rabbits. Wang Jianfeng was stunned.
Then Wang Jianfeng looked at Yu Li with eager eyes again, which scared Yu Li so much that she quickly got up.
"I'm going to make breakfast first."
Yu Li put on her clothes and ran away, leaving Wang Jianfeng to savor the scene. After a month of development by Wang Jianfeng, Yu Li has grown from a green peach to a mature and attractive peach, and her charm is no less than Qin Huairu.
After savoring it for a while, Wang Jianfeng got up and washed.
Yu Li quickly prepared breakfast. Even when they were having breakfast, Wang Jianfeng noticed that Yu Li's little face was still red.
