Chapter 179 Why aren't you sleeping yet?
"Besides, we have to eat dumplings on the fifth day of the New Year. I packed a little more for you, enough for you to eat for several meals. You can put it in the refrigerator and cook it when you are too lazy to cook and don't know what to eat." Su's mother advised, "Don't always eat takeout, it's really unhealthy."
"Okay." Su Jinshi took the dumplings.
"Okay, let's go back." said Su's mother.
"Ah?" Su Jinshi never thought that her mother would take the initiative to drive her away.
"We still have to pack our luggage. Our flight is at 8:30 tomorrow morning, so we have to leave at 5:30." Su's mother said, "Pack your luggage quickly tonight and go to bed early."
"Oh." Su Jinshi seemed a little at a loss as he carried a bag of dumplings.
It was not until Su Jinshi left that Su's father sighed helplessly and said to Su's mother: "Why do you think this is necessary? It would be better to let the child stay at home longer."
"If we don't let her feel it, she won't know how sad she is alone." Su's mother packed her luggage and said, "In previous Chinese New Years, she always came back to watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat New Year's Eve dinner with us. It was lively and lively, so she didn't feel bad about being alone."
"We are going to Inner Mongolia this year, so we might as well take this opportunity to let her experience it in advance. Other people's homes are bustling at night, but she doesn't know what to do at home late at night. Her classmates and friends are busy with their families, so she wants to find someone to play with but no one is there to accompany her."
"I could only listen to the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and I was alone when eating dumplings." Su's mother said, "Everything, once it becomes a habit, it is very uncomfortable to break it suddenly."
Su Jinshi didn't know what his mother was planning, so he took the dumplings home.
The car stopped at the gate of the community. The community where Su Jinshi lived was not big.
The closed management of the community is good and the public security is also good.
After walking a few steps through the door, I looked up and saw that the lights in the house were on.
Su Jinshi immediately quickened his pace and walked home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Shilang standing inside.
We see each other every day, but I am still shocked by Shen Shilang's face every time.
"Are you hungry?" Su Jinshi asked as he came in.
Shen Shilang shook his head, "There's a lot of food at home."
Su Jinshi also ordered takeout for Shen Shilang at noon.
"Life here is really convenient. Even if there are no servants at home, you can choose not to cook by yourself." Shen Shilang sighed and took the bag from Su Jinshi's hand. "What is this?"
"My mother made dumplings." Su Jinshi said, "When is Daxi's tradition to eat dumplings?"
"We have to stay up all night, so we eat after midnight." Shen Shilang asked, "How about this side?"
"Every family has different habits. Now we don't pay much attention to the custom of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. Most people go to bed when they are sleepy, and stay up late as usual if they are not sleepy. Some families eat dumplings after midnight, while others eat them early on the first day of the New Year." Su Jinshi pulled Shen Shilang to the kitchen and put the dumplings in the refrigerator first.
"Then let's eat after midnight today." Su Jinshi said.
"How is your family? I thought you would come back later." Shen Shilang remembered that during the last Spring Festival, Su Jinshi came to see him quite late.
Su Jinshi explained Su's father and mother's plan.
Even Shen Shilang could not guess the real intention of Su's father and mother.
Su Jinshi turned on the TV first. Although he didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala, the lively sounds could also create some New Year atmosphere.
Su Jinshi took out more wine.
Taking into account Shen Shilang's alcohol tolerance, Su Jinshi prepared dry red and dry white wine, as well as plum wine with very low alcohol content.
"Daxi also has plum wine, which is not surprising." Su Jinshi said, "But the wine is different from Daxi's. Daxi's wine is sweeter. The wine here is divided into sweet, semi-sweet and dry. Dry is not sweet at all. Each type of wine has a different flavor."
"If you taste them carefully, you can taste the flavor of chocolate and raspberry in some, the flavor of lemon and grapefruit in some, anyway, there are all kinds of them," said Su Jinshi.
"As for the white wine here, it's a bit strong. I'm afraid you'll pass out after drinking one glass." Su Jinshi said as he took out the glass and poured a glass of dry white wine for the two of them.
The dry white wine tastes more refreshing, and drinking it first will not overpower the taste of the red wine.
"Today is New Year's Day after all. It's not good to get drunk so early." Shen Shilang nodded.
"Yeah, when you have nothing to do in the future, you can try it and see if you can get drunk after one glass." Su Jinshi thought to himself that Shen Shilang's alcohol tolerance was probably about half a glass.
At this time, the hotel’s New Year’s Eve dinner package was also delivered.
Su Jinshi and Shen Shilang took the meal together.
The meals delivered are packed in take-away boxes.
In order to make the New Year’s Eve dinner more ceremonial, Su Jinshi re-plated the food.
The red and white wines were not strong and not sweet, but Shen Shilang drank quite a bit despite his alcohol tolerance.
Su Jinshi just felt that time passed very quickly when he was with Shen Shilang.
As we ate and chatted, it was already past midnight without us noticing.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The bell rang on TV, and Su Jinshi went to the refrigerator to take out the dumplings given by her mother.
Shen Shilang cleaned up the dishes, threw the leftovers at the bottom of the plates into the trash bag, and put the plates into the dishwasher.
These few days he has been at home, familiarizing himself with all the electrical appliances in the house, and using the dishwasher is no problem at all.
After starting the dishwasher, Su Jinshi just poured water into the pot and turned to ask Shen Shilang, "Shen Shilang, should I cook the dumplings with cold water or hot water?"
Before, Shen Shilang lived alone and cooked for himself.
In this regard, Shen Shilang is better than her.
Shen Shilang smiled slightly and took the box of dumplings from Su Jinshi's hand. "Leave it to me. You sit down first."
Su Jinshi didn't bother to be polite with him. He handed the task of cooking dumplings to Shen Shilang, and sat at the dining table waiting.
Not long after, Shen Shilang came back with a plate of dumplings, two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.
The two of them ate a lot for dinner, and at this time they just ate a few dumplings in the festive atmosphere.
The rest is put in the refrigerator and planned to be eaten for breakfast.
On the day Shen Shilang moved in, Su Jinshi cleaned up a guest room for him.
Even though she always liked to tease him and wanted to sleep with him, when they really lived together alone and didn't have to worry about being seen and gossiped by others like she did with Daxi, Su Jinshi became timid.
What's more, Shen Shilang is a man who attaches great importance to rules, so the two of them have been sleeping separately these days.
After eating dumplings, they went back to wash up.
This was the first time the two of them spent the New Year together, and they were actually quite excited.
Su Jinshi couldn't sleep, so he ran out and dragged Shen Shilang to the living room to find a movie to watch.
"Didn't they say that we don't have to stay up till dawn here?" After watching the movie, Shen Shilang saw that Su Jinshi was still not asleep, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep." Su Jinshi curled up on the sofa, resting her head on Shen Shilang's shoulder, "This is our first time spending the New Year together, the last time we spent it in front of our phones doesn't count."
