Chapter 76 Mom's New Year's Eve Dinner

Ten sets of pajamas, five colors. Zhou's father joked, "You must have gone to stock up."

Grandma touched the comfortable fabric and looked very happy: "I didn't expect that I would even wear new pajamas this year. I washed them tonight and will wear them tomorrow."

Zhou Qingti took a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Okay, you all wear it tomorrow. Yanzhi and I have to go up to the old house. The old lady is asking."

Lu Yanzhi also stood up: "Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandma, take your time eating. Qingti and I will go upstairs first."

Zhou's parents were already very satisfied that their married daughter could still have a New Year's Eve dinner at home, and their son-in-law would definitely come to see them whenever he went to the old house.

Father Zhou took out two red envelopes from his pocket and gave them one each: "Here are the New Year's money, I give it to you in advance."

Zhou Qingti took it with surprise: "Wow, thank you, Mom and Dad."

Lu Yanzhi hesitated a little, but still followed her movements and took it.

"New Year's money?"

He never thought that after he became an adult and got married, he would still receive New Year's money from his elders.

"It's the first year of marriage, and we're still children." Mother Zhou said with a smile.

Grandma and grandma each took out two red envelopes and gave them one each: "Come and take it. I will give you New Year's money too."

Zhou Qingti was embarrassed to accept the money from the elderly and shirked it: "It's enough if my parents give it to me. Grandma and grandma, you can keep the money and buy some delicious food for yourselves."

Grandma stuffed one into her hand and then gave one to Lu Yanzhi: "Take it, it's not much money, just to have some fun during the New Year."

Zhou Qingti looked at her mother, and her mother gave her a look, and she felt relieved to accept it. Seeing her accept it, Lu Yanzhi also accepted the red envelope.

"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa."

A good marriage brings not only a lover, but also several elders who love you.

Her family is ordinary and loving, with conflicts and minor frictions. The elders are usually frugal and may nag at the young people for being wasteful, but the more this happens, the more warmth is shown.

The cash in the red envelopes was indeed not much, only 880 yuan per red envelope.

Zhou Qingti took a photo holding six red envelopes and said: "I received the New Year's money."

Lu Yanzhi pulled out a red envelope from his coat pocket like magic: "I prepared it for you too. I wanted to give it to you during the New Year's Eve."

"Ah, really?" Zhou Qingti screamed and took it. The red envelope was obviously very thick.

Then she took out a red envelope from her bag: "Me too! Happy New Year!"

What a damn tacit understanding! Zhou Qingti left a kiss on his cheek.

Lu Yanzhi was not satisfied. He took control of the back of her head with his big hands and kissed her pink lips.

It was a light kiss, but it turned into a French kiss. There was a faint taste of cola in her mouth, which was sweet.

The unfinished affection deepened in this kiss. At the moment when her rationality was about to be drained away, Zhou Qingti pushed his chest and said, "It's time to go up to the old house."

Lu Yanzhi reluctantly let go of her lips: "Let's go."

Then he pecked her on the lips again: "I can never get enough of kissing you."

Zhou Qingti started the car: "Then kiss until your teeth fall out."

We drove into the parking lot of the old house, chatting and laughing. The old house was already decorated with lights.

The Lu family's New Year's Eve dinner was very lively. In addition to the third uncle's family, the second uncle's family also returned from abroad, as well as Lu Yanzhi's half-brother, Lu Sifan.

It was the first time Zhou Qingti met him. He looked like an ABC boy, probably because he went abroad in high school.

Although I was chatting with everyone, I clearly felt that I was not fitting in.

On the other hand, when Lu Yanzhi and Zhou Qingti appeared, everyone was very enthusiastic, especially the little glutinous rice dumpling from his second uncle's family, Lu Sizhi.

She rushed over and hugged Zhou Qingti's thighs: "Sister, you are here."

Lu Yanzhi corrected him: "It's sister-in-law."

Glutinous Rice Dumpling bared his little glutinous rice teeth and called him sweetly, "Big Brother."

Lu Yanzhi picked him up easily and said, "You've grown taller."

Lu Sifan also called Lu Yanzhi: "Brother, sister-in-law."

Children are innocent of the love, hate and grudges between their elders. Although Lu Yanzhi doesn't like him calling him brother, he didn't roll his eyes at him.

Zhou Qingti responded: "Hello."

Lu Zheng looked at the lively family. He had thought that since everyone was finally together, he would gather a few men to talk about the Lu Group.

But this conversation is bound to be unpleasant. It's Chinese New Year, so forget it.

After a while of commotion in the living room, the Lu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was ready, and the whole family sat around a long Western-style table.

Except for the little glutinous rice dumplings, everyone had red wine poured into their glasses.

Before the meal started, Lu Zheng wanted to say a few words, but was stopped by a look from Old Lady Lu. In the end, he just raised his glass and said Happy New Year.

Everyone clinked their glasses together, and the little glutinous rice dumpling also wanted to drink the red drink.

Zhou Qingti poured him a glass of cherry juice and drank it happily.

The little glutinous rice dumpling was very attached to Zhou Qingti. Second Aunt said with a smile, "It seems that Qingti is very lucky with children. When are you planning to have a child?"

Zhou Qingti didn't expect the birth to come so quickly, so she smiled softly: "Let nature take its course."

The little glutinous rice dumpling seemed to understand and hugged Zhou Qingti and said, "Am I going to have a sister?"

Second Aunt smiled and tapped his head with her index finger: "She's not my sister, the generations are all messed up."

"Is that my little brother?" the little glutinous rice dumpling asked his mother with his big round eyes.

"If your sister-in-law gets pregnant, you'll be an uncle." Uncle San also joined in teasing the children.

When the little glutinous rice dumpling heard this, he frowned and said, "Uncle, then I am as old as you."

After saying that, she hid in Zhou Qingti's arms: "No, no."

Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Lu Yanzhi carried him to the baby chair and said, "Your sister-in-law wants to eat. Don't bother her."

Mrs. Lu took a bite of the tender and glutinous braised mutton and said, "You can consider this matter after your wedding is over."

Lu Yanzhi knew Zhou Qingti didn't like this, so he spoke up to help: "Just let it go. Oh, by the way, my mother is back. She's coming back to attend my wedding banquet."

His words successfully diverted everyone's attention. Everyone knew why Song Zhi divorced Lu Zheng in the first place, and they also understood how Lu Zheng's current wife came to be.

The table was silent for a moment. It was normal for a mother to attend her son's wedding, but they were afraid that there would be something unpleasant.

Everyone seemed to be eating the food seriously, but in fact they were all paying attention to Lu Zheng and Shen Meng.

Lu Zheng felt guilty towards Song Zhi at first, but the quarrel in the last year had worn away his guilt.

Although Chen Meng married Lu Zheng, she has always been a marginal figure in the Lu family. Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Zheng's brothers have never recognized her as their sister-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.

She felt dissatisfied with Song Zhi. Why did she always occupy that position when she was obviously far away from him?
