It is the Spring Festival approaching, and the twelfth lunar month has another snowfall.
Snowflakes are flying outside the window, falling rustlingly. In less than half a day, the sky and earth are already covered in silver, and the red lanterns hung by the municipal department have become an embellishment in the heavy snow, looking particularly charming.
Jiang Qin has been walking with the little rich woman recently, and he feels a little tired, so he wraps himself tightly in the quilt and plans to take a nap.
However, before he saw Zhou Gong, he was pulled up by his parents to prepare for a big cleaning to welcome the New Year.
Jiang Qin is responsible for all the tidying up of the living room, while Jiang Zhenghong is responsible for the bedroom and bathroom.
Ms. Yuan Youqin also has her own task, which is to prepare dumplings from New Year's Eve to the second day of the first lunar month.
"Jiang Qin, find me a daughter-in-law as soon as school starts, so I don't have to make dumplings by myself until dark." "Why bother
so much, how about this, I will tighten my belt in the future and eat two less bowls." Jiang Qin's brain is very smart.
Yuan Youqin was so angry that she threw her rolling pin: "You'd better not eat a bowl!" "
Why are you angry when you're talking? I'm only 18 years old. Aren't you pushing me too early?" "
I don't care. I just want a daughter-in-law. Look, every New Year I have to prepare dumplings for the whole family by myself. At least enough for three days. Do you think this job is easy?" There is a
custom in Jeju that you can't use a knife from New Year's Eve to the third day of the first lunar month. During these three days, dumplings are both a staple food and a dish, which can be said to be very important.
When there are many people in the family, it takes a whole day just to
make dumplings. Ms. Yuan Youqin makes dumplings every year until her hands are sore. At this time, she especially wants a daughter-in-law.
When Jiang Qin was in high school, this idea was unrealistic, but now that she is in college, she wants someone to make dumplings with her. Even if she doesn't know how to make dumplings, she will be happy to talk to her.
Jiang Qin pursed her lips and worked hard, mopping the floor until it was smooth and slippery, but she refused to answer, so as not to get into trouble again.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The neighbor across the street came to visit, holding a fat baby in her arms, with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Youqin, are you making dumplings by yourself?"
"Sister Li, why are you here?"
"My eldest grandson was crying at home. I had no choice but to carry him out for a walk. He would stop crying when he saw people."
Neighbor Aunt Li shouted "Oh, oh, oh", making the little grandson in her arms so happy that his saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Youqin felt very complicated and glared at Jiang Qin several times. Jiang Qin
understood instantly and thought to himself that it was no wonder that his mother kept talking about daughter-in-law all day long. It turned out that the root of the trouble was the one across the street. That's right,
with his mother's temper, she must be resentful when someone came to show off every day, otherwise, she wouldn't have urged him to fall in love quickly since freshman year.
"Jiang Qin, didn't you bring your girlfriend home for the New Year?"
"No, Auntie, I'm not good at talking and can't find one." Jiang Qin looked humble.
Aunt Li pursed her lips: "Look at you, you went to school and didn't bring a wife back. Your mother can only make dumplings alone during the New Year. How tiring." "
But I think it's not easy for my mother to work hard all year. It's not bad for her to have a comfortable year. What if she brings back someone who makes her angry to death? It's better not to bring her, don't you think?" "
..."
All the residents in Jiang Qin's building knew that Sister Li next door and her daughter-in-law didn't get along. They fought all day long and could quarrel all night over trivial matters.
But because she just had a grandson, Sister Li didn't dare to say anything. She was so angry in the second half of this year that she almost got sick.
Jiang Qin's words really hit her in the heart.
So Aunt Li left with an awkward smile not long after she stayed, leaving Jiang Qin, who had never been inferior to others in his life, with a happy face.
"Your daughter-in-law, Aunt Li, is really a powerful character. She scolds people in different ways. You must find a better one in the future. I, your mother, am not good at quarreling."
Yuan Youqin couldn't help but say after closing the door.
"Without a daughter-in-law, there will be no quarrels. All problems will be solved from the root!"
Jiang Qin said while holding the mop in his hand.
"Jiang Qin, if you keep talking nonsense, you will go to the street to celebrate the New Year."
Yuan Youqin hated people saying such depressing words during the New Year.
"Don't worry, mom, there will definitely be no quarrel."
Jiang Qin answered casually. For some reason, he was inexplicably confident.
In a blink of an eye, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month arrived.
The temple fair continued to the end, and the business of the mutton soup restaurant was very effective. Many customers said it was good after drinking it, and they also took a special look at the billboard to find out if there was a branch closer to their home. As the old saying goes, good
wine is afraid of deep alleys. This wave of joining in the fun can be regarded as sending the wine out.
Jiang Qin only went to see the situation on the first day, and did not go again in the next few days.
After all, whether or not to attract customers depends on the taste, not who is watching the stall. He is not a human signboard, so there is no big difference between going and not going.
But without the help of his uncle and aunt, Yang Shuan felt that the temple fair these days was less fun, completely different from the first day.
But he was not bored, because many old classmates came to his stall to drink mutton soup, and then pretended to be close to him and asked if Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu were in love.
Yang Shuan said that I took the New Year's money, how could it not be true?
So, with eyewitnesses and witnesses, the rumor became the truth, which caused a great shock to the entire high school circle. In the
cold moonlight of Chengnan High School, the radiant fairy girl is really in love.
Thinking of this, many people suffered from insomnia late at night, and some even changed the background music of their QQ space to A-Du's "He Must Love You Very Much".
I should be under the car,
not in the car
to see how sweet you are
. Yang Shuan took out his mobile phone and shared with Jiang Qin the number of casualties today.
"Uncle, seven or eight more people came today to ask if you and aunt are in love."
Jiang Qin was reading with the little rich woman in the Jeju Library at this time. When he was bored, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. After reading it, he couldn't help but look up at the little rich woman. When he was in high
school, he had never seen a scene where many people surrounded Feng Nanshu.
But that was not because she was not popular, but because she was too difficult to approach.
But watching countless boys shouting in the space that their dreams were broken, Jiang Qin realized more clearly how holy and perfect the name Feng Nanshu was to the boys in the south of the city, and also more clearly realized how charming the little rich woman was.
Maybe in everyone's heart, no one is worthy of such a girl.
"Hmm?"
"Which bastard typed my name into Jiangqin's grass!"
Jiang Qin was so angry that he stretched out his hand to peel a pistachio and fed it to the little rich woman. His fingertips were still stained with a little bit of her saliva.
"Jiang Qin, eat more." Feng Nanshu opened her rosy little mouth and waited for him to feed her.
"Eat another one and I won't give it to you. My hands are hurting from peeling."
"Eat the last three."
Jiang Qin had no choice but to stretch out his hand to peel three more and feed them to her, wiping the corners of her mouth.
After that, most of the small stores in Jeju began to suspend business. Only the markets in the towns and the large shopping malls with activities became more and more lively. The
propaganda vehicles with colorful balloons were running back and forth on the central street, with advertisements of discounts and big discounts in certain places on them, attracting many people to join in the fun.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, looking at the advertising vehicles outside the window, Jiang Qin suddenly got excited and took the little rich woman to buy a bunch of New Year's goods.
There were for parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts.
After a lot of selection, the two carts were gradually filled.
Coincidentally, on the way to the cashier, Jiang Qin met Chu Siqi and Wang Huiru.
Jeju is a small place, and there is only one large shopping mall. It is not surprising to meet old classmates. The
four people looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. It was not until Wang Huiru said "long time no see" that the deadlock was slightly broken.
"There is a party in our class on the sixth day of the New Year. Jiang Qin, do you want to go?" "
Let's talk about it later. I'll go when I have a chance."
"Okay."
"Yeah."
Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu to the cashier. Just after walking a few steps, the rich woman put her hand into his pocket.
Seeing this scene, Wang Huiru was a little emotional.
Feng Nanshu is really too beautiful, and there is no flaw in her delicate features.
And Jiang Qin is also dazzling, and it is a good match for her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look back at Chu Siqi, and found that her best friend was staring at the two of them in a daze, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
She thought her best friend was upset again, and was about to say something to persuade her, but she saw Chu Siqi take out a milk tea card from her bag, tremblingly holding it in front of her, and comparing the two silhouettes on the milk tea card with the backs in front of her.
"It turns out that the two people on this milk tea card are them..."
Wang Huiru was also surprised: "Really, what's going on?"
Chu Siqi shook her head, holding the milk tea card in her hand, with a complicated expression.
Everyone in Linchuan University knows that Xitian and Zhihu are strategic partners, but not many people know that the owner of this milk tea shop is Feng Nanshu.
Why?
Because it is a trade secret.
If this matter is made public, then wouldn't the previous hype of advertising fees be exposed?
Everyone knows that Feng Nanshu is the recognized boss lady of 208. Using the boss lady's milk tea shop to hype the boss's advertising fees is purely self-boasting. Therefore
, Chu Siqi did not think about who these two people are, but just felt that the two people on the card were particularly touching.
But until just now, when the scene of Feng Nanshu and Jiang Qin walking side by side gave her a very familiar feeling, she realized what the pattern on this milk tea card meant. It turned out that
Jiang Qin's love had been secretly dazzling to the point where everyone knew about it.
And this kind of romance can only be done by him.
What on earth did I miss ?
Chu Siqi's face turned pale, and the huge emptiness in her heart became even emptier.
