Chapter 84 Are you unhappy that I’m here?

A happy family of three.

A happy smile from the heart finally appeared on Su Yumian's face again.

During the meal, Father Su remembered something and said to Su Yumian, "Oh, we have guests coming tomorrow. Mianmian, remember to go to town and buy some New Year's goods."

Su Yumian was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Who is it, my aunt and the others?"

"No, it's the young man named Zhou who came to our house last time. He called me yesterday."

Su Yumian paused while chewing his food. "Are you talking about Zhou Xubai?"

"Yes, it's him. He called to ask about your mother's situation. I thought he was a nice guy, so I invited him to come home and visit."

As Father Su spoke, he picked up some food for his wife and children. Thinking of Zhou Xubai, his face was full of regret.

"That young man is also a very honest person. He agreed immediately when I asked him to come, and even said he would come tomorrow."

Father Su smiled bitterly. It was true that he had invited Zhou Xubai, but he didn't expect him to come on New Year's Eve.

"But isn't tomorrow New Year's Eve? Doesn't he need to go back home?"

Everyone was busy going back to their hometowns that day, but he was busy visiting other people's homes. What was going on?

"Who says it's not? But since we've agreed, we have to treat him well. He helped us so much last time, so we have to thank him properly this time."

Su Yumian pouted, said "oh" and continued to eat.

By the way, he still hasn't paid back the money he owes Zhou Xubai, and he will pay it back to him as soon as he gets his salary at the beginning of the new year.

After dinner, Su Yumian was responsible for washing the dishes and only went into the house to rest after cleaning up.

Early the next morning, Su Yumian was woken up by his father and accompanied him to the town to buy New Year's goods.

In previous years, when there were only three of them, chicken, duck and fish were enough, but this year because there were guests coming, they naturally had to prepare more carefully.

Su Yumian packed up and prepared to go out. Seeing his father take out a black jacket, he smiled and said, "Do you still have this jacket?"

Hearing this, Father Su touched the orchid embroidered on his chest and said with a smile, "This has an orchid embroidered by your mother herself. I can't bear to throw it away."

"Okay, I didn't ask you to lose it."

The father and son talked and laughed as they left the house.

Because of the Chinese New Year holiday, the streets were extremely crowded. Many people who worked outside came back, and the usually deserted town suddenly became lively.

The streets are mostly lined with couplets and lanterns, and looking around, there is endless red.

It was already noon when the father and son finished shopping. Several times, they almost lost the things they bought because of the large number of people.

Seeing the rice noodle shop, Father Su touched his still empty stomach and said, "Mianmian, have a bowl of rice noodles before going back. It's too late to go back and make lunch anyway."

"good."

As if to cooperate with his father, Su Yumian's stomach growled twice.

In order to catch the early market, the two of them didn't have breakfast and were now hungry.

"Boss, two bowls of rice noodles."

After eating, Su Yumian packed a portion for his mother to take back.

By the time the two of them finally got home, it was already half past one.

After arriving home, Su's father was not idle either, and began to busy himself with the New Year's Eve dinner.

Su Yumian felt sorry for his father, who had been busy all morning without a break, so he walked over and said, "Dad, go take a break, I'll do it."

"You know what to do? We have to keep the fish's tail." Father Su was a little worried.

Su Yumian took the kitchen knife from his father and said with a smile, "I've watched you do it every year, so how could I not know?"

Seeing Su Yumian skillfully split open the fish belly, Su's father turned around and peeled beans with his wife.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

“Knock knock knock—!”

Father Su stood up, wiped his hands, and walked towards the door, saying, "I guess Xiaobai is here. I'll go open the door."

The next second, the door opened, and Father Su subconsciously said, "Xiaobai, come here..."

But when he saw clearly that the person outside the door was not Zhou Xubai, he was stunned for a moment. The person outside the door was much taller than him, and he had to look up to see the other person.

"Who are you looking for?"

Father Su took a step back and looked up at the other person, looking a little tired.

"Excuse me, is this Su Yumian's home?"

Father Su looked at the other person and saw that he was wearing a black coat with a pile of gift boxes at his feet.

"Y-yes, but who are you...?"

Su Yumian, who was killing fish, didn't see his father Su and Zhou Xubai come into the house for a long time. Without even washing his hands, he walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Dad, Xubai, why don't you come into the house? Why are you chatting at the door..."

Seeing who was outside the door, he stopped talking, his pupils slightly widened, and he blurted out subconsciously, "Why are you here?"

However, Fu Quezhou happened to hear what Su Yumian just said. He frowned and repeated it.

"Xu Bai?"

Su Yumian was startled and was about to explain when Fu Quezhou noticed that his hands were covered in blood. His pupils shrank and he rushed into the room, grabbed Su Yumian's hands and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Hearing this, Su's father also walked over worriedly, but saw the man named Fu Quezhou holding his son's hand with a worried look on his face.

That behavior has exceeded the limits between friends.

Seeing that Su's father was looking at Fu Quezhou strangely, Su Yumian glanced at Su's father and hurriedly pulled his hand out of his hand.

An unnatural look flashed across his face as he explained, "This isn't my blood. I just killed a fish."

Fu Quezhou finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not his blood.

At this time, Father Su asked, "Mianmian, who is this..."

Su Yumian was about to explain, but Fu Quezhou spoke first, "Hello, uncle. My name is Fu Quezhou, and I am his..."

He paused deliberately, with a smirk on his lips, and looked at Su Yumian provocatively.

Just when Su Yumian was worried that he would reveal their relationship, Fu Quezhou suddenly said with a hint of meaning, "It's his boss."

As soon as these words came out, Su Yumian blushed instantly, recalling the scene last night on the sofa where his father scolded his boss on the phone, and his boss happened to be right next to him and heard everything.

There was nothing more socially deadly than his awkward toe-dumping.

When Mr. Su heard that it was the boss, his attitude immediately changed. He wanted to please him but also wanted to kick him out.

After all, his son works under him, and being too ruthless will only make Su Yumian embarrassed.

If he didn't kick him out, he couldn't bear the fact that his son was being treated like a beast of burden.

As a result, he didn't look very good to Fu Quezhou and said, "Mianmian, you chat with your boss, I'll go cook."

“…Oh, okay, I’ll go wash my hands first.”

Feeling that Su's father disliked him, Fu Quezhou felt a little aggrieved, as he had brought so many gifts to his home.

Su Yumian washed her hands and came out of the kitchen. Seeing the gift at the door, she felt helpless. "You came all the way here just to give this?"

He walked over, carried these into the house, put them aside, then pulled Fu Quezhou to sit on the sofa.

Seeing this, Su's mother put some melon seeds, peanuts and other things in a fruit plate and brought it to Fu Quezhou, handing it forward with a "hmm" sound.

Seeing this, Su Yumian gestured to his mother, "Mom, you take a rest. I'll do it."

Then he explained to Fu Quezhou, "Don't mind, my mother can't speak."

Fu Quezhou chuckled, "I don't mind."

He had thoroughly investigated Su Yumian's family relationships and had long known that his mother was deaf-mute.

Mother Su turned around and continued to shell beans. Su Yumian took the opportunity to ask, "Why did you come here so suddenly without any preparation?"

He was especially frightened.

Hearing this, Fu Quezhou's face darkened and his tone was somewhat unhappy. "Why, are you unhappy that I'm here?"

Su Yumian was startled and said quickly, "That's not what I meant. I was just... a little surprised."
