Chapter 465: Chinese New Year is all about happiness

Lu Jingyou replied to Lin Manli's text message, then casually flipped through the other text messages, took a look, then threw the phone on the windowsill and asked Zhao Shunfa with a relaxed expression: "Brother-in-law, are we sleeping on the kang tonight?" Su Jiaojiao saw that he looked as if nothing had happened after seeing Yu Mingyuan's text message, and suddenly realized that Yu Mingyuan must have sent him such a text message more than once or twice.

Because he has seen it so many times, he didn't make a fuss about it, or maybe he is just a person who is good at hiding his emotions.

As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it. If there is always such a woman around Lu Jingyou who keeps expressing her ambiguous feelings to him over time, no one dares to say what will happen in the future.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe him or that she is not confident enough, but few men would truly hate a woman who likes them. It’s their nature and has nothing to do with anything else.

"Yes, there's a bed in the next room. If you're not used to sleeping on the kang, you can sleep on it." Zhao Shunfa became calm immediately after sobering up. "You can sleep in whichever room you want. It's just that the other rooms aren't as warm as this one."

"This room is fine. I'll just sleep here." Lu Jingyou had slept on a kang like this before when he was in the northwest. Although he wasn't used to it, it was okay.

The guest should follow the host's wishes.

It would be inappropriate for him to move around casually, especially since Zhao Shunfa and Chen Juan were not married yet. It would be wrong to sleep in someone else's wedding bed.

"If you have nothing to do, we'll go back." Su Jiaojiao didn't bother too much with Yu Mingyuan. She casually folded Lu Jingyou's down jacket and placed it beside the kang. Let's talk about the future later. Now is the time.

Chen Juan was still lighting the fire in the kitchen and came over to tell Zhao Shunfa, "Zhao Shunfa, please take good care of Xiao Lu. The thermos is full of hot water, you can use it as you like."

"I understand." Zhao Shunfa put on his shoes, got off the kang, and turned on the TV. "Chen Juan, you two should go back quickly!"

"See you tomorrow, beauties." Lu Jingyou sat cross-legged on the kang with a smile on his face and waved to Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing at him and went back to the old house with Chen Juan.

Xu Yue'e was cooking in the kitchen, firewood was scattered all over the floor, and the room was filled with white steam mixed with the fragrance of food, which wisped out under the eaves and dissipated into the inky night.

The two old ladies sat by the kang and chatted with Chen Guilan excitedly. Chen Guisheng had just woken up and sat at the head of the kang, not saying much and listening quietly.

Seeing Su Jiaojiao and Chen Juan come back, the old ladies stopped chatting and stood up and walked out: "The children are back, you guys should eat quickly, we will come again tomorrow."

The lights are dim.

Some white smoke from the kitchen also rushed in, and the house was full of smoke.

Su Jiaojiao didn't even see their faces clearly. She just went up to them and said Happy New Year. The two old ladies pulled her aside and said a lot of things about how she had grown taller and prettier. Chen Juan politely sent them out: "Third Aunt, Sixth Grandma, come again when you have time."

Chen Guilan then spoke up, "They said our two sons-in-law were holding hands and dancing and singing in the street without even wearing clothes."

"It's spread like this in less than two hours?" Su Jiaojiao was about to die of laughter. Who knows how it will spread tomorrow!

"We asked Xiao Suisui, and she said both brothers-in-law were wearing clothes." Chen Guilan turned her head to look at Chen Guisheng, frowning and said, "Second brother, next time you are happy, you can't drink this wine like this. Look at what a joke you made."

"That's right, from now on, whoever can drink as much as they want can drink as much as they want." Xu Yue'e poked her head out of the kitchen and complained to Chen Guisheng, "Don't blame your sons-in-law for being fine. You, as an elder, have no sense of proportion. Don't do this anymore."

Fortunately, it was winter and not many people believed that they were not wearing clothes. If it were summer, they might have believed it.

Chen Guisheng smiled innocently and said, "Let them say whatever they want, as long as we are happy."

The purpose of celebrating the New Year is to have fun.

Just get drunk if you want, be a man!

Dinner was undoubtedly leftovers, and the same was true the next morning, except for the two sons-in-law. Xu Yue'e made fresh egg and vegetable noodles for them and did not let them eat the leftovers.

Su Jiaojiao was speechless.

They can eat it, so they can’t eat it?

If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could get along like this, the conflicts would be reduced by at least half.

Chen Guilan said she would go back in the morning, but Chen Guisheng and Xu Yue'e insisted that they leave in the afternoon, saying that there were too many dishes at home and asked them to stay and eat together. They kept pulling and tugging, and I kept pushing them.

Su Jiaojiao did not get involved in the argument between them and suggested going to the beach. Zhao Shunfa and Chen Juan said in unison that they should go. The weather was too cold, and Chen Juan said she did not dare to take Xiao Suisui with her, worried that she would catch a cold.

Wutong Village is two kilometers away from the beach and can be reached in five minutes by car.

There were not many people on the beach during the first month of the lunar year. A dozen fishing boats lay quietly on the beach. The tide slowly receded, the sea breeze blew freely in my ears, and the sunlight sprinkled on the sea like broken gold, rising and falling with the waves.

As soon as they got off the car, Zhao Shunfa asked Lu Jingyou to take a walk on the embankment in front, saying that there were many fishing boats moored there. Lu Jingyou readily agreed and asked Su Jiaojiao to wait for them here, saying that the wind was strong and they didn't need to go.

"You two should be careful, the wind is strong over there." Chen Juan was worried.

Zhao Shunfa said it was okay.

Su Jiaojiao didn't worry about these things. She found a cleaner fishing boat, climbed on it, and sat on the bow to watch the sea.

The endless sea, the low-flying seagulls, the islands looming in the mist, and the salty smell all around, all hitting you in the face.

Chen Juan followed suit and got in. She had no interest in admiring the sea view, but was concerned about the two people on the embankment. "Zhao Shunfa is wearing leather shoes, which are not non-slip at all. I wonder if Xiao Lu's shoes are non-slip?"

"Don't worry about them." Su Jiaojiao felt that Chen Juan was worrying too much. "They are grown-ups. If they were in danger, they would have come back."

"I think they are all from outsiders, and outsiders don't know the hidden dangers on the seaside." Chen Juan has been to that dam often. It is okay in other seasons, but in winter a thin layer of ice will form on it, making it very slippery.

"If they can't go up, they can come down." Su Jiaojiao glanced at the two of them, and sure enough, they had already walked back. Lu Jingyou was still a little reluctant and stood on the embankment and refused to come down. It was Zhao Shunfa who called him down, saying it was too slippery.

After getting off the embankment, the two did not come over, but continued walking along the beach and soon disappeared.

"It seems like these two can talk to each other, so they really have company." Chen Juan was relieved. Apart from the embankment, there was no danger on the beach, so she just let them go.

"My brother-in-law is very caring and easy to get along with." After all, they are of the same age, so they still have a lot of topics to talk about.

"I heard from my aunt that she plans to go with you this year. Are you very busy in the capital?" This is what Chen Juan has always wanted to ask Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao nodded and said, "I am very busy over there. My mom can help me if she goes with me."
