Su Qinghu was still trying to hold back his laughter until he entered Zhang Zhenjing's house.

Lu Xinlin and Dadan pretended not to notice, and Su Qinghu finally distracted himself and got rid of the urge to laugh.

"Everyone's here, come and sit down!" Zhang Zhenjing invited Su Qinghu and Dadan to sit down, "Have some fruit and cakes first."

Then he called Su Qinghu, "Xiao Su, what would you like to drink? Black tea, green tea, juice, or coffee?"

"Coffee, please." Su Qinghu hasn't had any coffee since she became pregnant. When Zhang Zhenjing mentioned it today, she really missed the taste of coffee.

It just so happens that I don’t need to feed Xiaoli Tuaner for at least six hours today, so it has enough time to metabolize it on its own.

Big Egg: "How about some juice? I'm thirsty too."

If you have to drink it all, it’s better to drink the same thing and save others trouble.

Su Qinghu received the signal he sent and sighed inwardly, "Then let's have juice."

Brat!

If you don't want her to drink coffee, use this little trick!

Dadan successfully changed Su Qinghu's choice. He was not proud, but relieved.

He really is childish sometimes...

Lu Xinlin quickly brought out the juice, one glass for each of the four people.

Su Qinghu politely asked about Lu Heming, and Zhang Zhenjing smiled and said, "His childhood friends knew he was returning to China, and they came all the way from all over the country just to get together. It happened so suddenly that they couldn't wait for you at home."

"We still have a long time to spend together, so there's no need to rush." ​​Su Qinghu said with a smile.

Zhang Zhenjing: "At around 8 o'clock, his friends came over, called him, and left. I just know his address, so I can go check it out later."

There is a high possibility that my husband will not come back tonight.

The gathering place and rest hotel are all ready.

Seeing this, Su Qinghu wanted to leave, but when he saw Zhang Zhenjing trying to prepare the meal clumsily, he stayed.

She took over the job of cooking and stewing, while Zhang Zhenjing went to do the barbecue, which she was good at.

The lunch was a combination of Chinese and Western food, which was quite interesting. In short, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, she said goodbye. Zhang Zhenjing and Lu Xinlin saw them off to the door and asked her to come often when she was free.

Su Qinghu also invited them over, and everyone had a barbecue party in the yard.

Lu Xinlin was very interested and agreed immediately, saying that she would be there whenever she was called.

Zhang Zhenjing smiled at her daughter and nodded, "It's time to visit your old lady and old man."

But she was really worried that going there would affect the relationship between Dadan and the Chen family, so she hesitated and did not go to visit.

Dadan: "When is cousin free?"

"Me?" Although Lu Xinlin didn't quite understand why Dadan asked her instead of her mother, she still answered, "I'm available after noon on the fourth day of the New Year."

If there is no emergency at that time, call her back.

"Mom, let's have a barbecue party on the fourth day of the New Year, okay?" Dadan knew that everyone would be free after the third day of the New Year, but Su Qinghu would go to work on the sixth day.

Su Qinghu: "Then let's meet on the fourth day of the New Year?"

Zhang Zhenjing and Lu Xinlin both nodded, and the matter was settled.

====

When he returned home and opened the door, Su Qinghu heard laughter coming from the living room.

The voices of my parents-in-law, Erdan's voice, mixed with Xiaolituaner's excited and piercing laughter, made all the fatigue disappear in an instant.

Su Qinghu couldn't wait to enter the house, and then fell silent.

I thought there would be something fun to watch, but it turned out that a few people, including Xiaoli Tuaner, were playing a game of throwing a ball of yarn.

The ball of wool was made by my mother-in-law when she had nothing to do. The red wool was pulled into more strands by a needle, and then tied together to form a red wool ball.

——This kid, Li Tuan'er, has a low sense of humor~

Su Qinghu shook his head, said hello to Ms. Meng and Chen Bai, changed into a pair of furniture slippers, and went to wash his face and hands before entering the house and joining them...

Early in the morning on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Bai took care of the children, while Su Qinghu took her mother-in-law and the children to start washing and cutting skewers, and also pickled some of them.

I was busy until noon and then had a simple lunch.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Zhenjing and her group came over.

According to Chinese tradition, it's not appropriate to bring gifts when visiting someone's home in the afternoon. But it also seems awkward not to bring gifts during Chinese New Year.

After much deliberation, the family brought some red wine and some books and paintings.

Ms. Meng and Chen Baizhen didn't mind these things. What they saw and heard in their early years were far beyond the reach of these particulars.

Everyone sat in the living room for a while, and Dadan and Erdan also found out from Lu Xinlin what they liked to eat.

Su Qinghu got the answer, went to the kitchen to prepare some barbecue food, and then joined in the chat.

They were all easy to talk to and had their own experiences, so once they started chatting, their reservedness disappeared and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Everyone moved from the living room to the yard.

A barbecue grill has been set up in the yard, one made of wire mesh and the other made of iron plate. There is also a place for roasting sweet potatoes and peanuts on the lower level of the wire mesh.

Everyone was already having a great time chatting, and now that they were barbecuing, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Eating and grilling at the same time, stopping and eating at will, is quite comfortable.

The barbecue party came to a lively end at 7:30 in the evening.

Su Qinghu drove the three of them to see them off. When she came back, Dadan and Erdan were sitting on the doorstep waiting for her stupidly.

"Mom!" Erdan has always been a person with full emotions and enthusiastic expressions. He stood up as soon as he saw Su Qinghu.

Su Qinghu parked the car and reached out to touch his head. Feeling the coolness, he shook his head helplessly.

"Whoever comes in last gets to close the door!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly slipped inside and entered the yard.

Big Egg followed closely behind.

Only Erdan was stunned. "Mom, I was the first one to stand up and greet you!"

She treated him like this?

God knows, he is really going to be sad...

After being in seclusion for a while, he silently closed the door and rushed to the living room.

Ms. Meng and Chen Bai were reading in the living room. There was an electric heater in front of them, and a half-finished foreign language diary beside them.

Su Qinghu picked it up and took a look.

It's confirmed. This is the handwriting of Erdan, who would rather be beaten than write a foreign language diary?

"What's going on?" Su Qinghu raised the foreign language diary in his hand and asked Erdan.

Erdan started to talk: "I've been so happy these past few days that I wanted to write this down. When I'm old, I can use this to recall my glorious and happy life~~~"

Su Qinghu: "..."

Isn't it because she often assigns him small essays that he has developed masochism syndrome?

She looked at the big egg.

Dadan: “I write in my diary every day.”

There are foreign language ones and also Chinese characters ones.

There was nothing to record, so he wrote that nothing happened today.

Su Qinghu choked when he heard his answer.

Actually… she didn’t mean to ask if he had written a diary, the so-called small essay, but was thinking about whether to reduce the frequency of assigning them to write small essays…
