It's dinnertime.
After Lin Xun and Su Qingshi finished tidying up, they left the room together.
Besides her parents, Ning Yuluo and Xu Chiyan were also in the hall.
Upon seeing the two, Lin Xun was somewhat surprised: "Cousin, Sister Yan, when did you arrive?"
Ning Yulu smiled slightly and said, "You haven't been here long. How is your injury healing?"
Lin Xun nodded: "Much better."
Su Qingshi also greeted the two of them.
Xu Chiyan was naturally cheerful, and she felt right at home here. She was very affectionate with Gu Yanyan, as if she were the other woman's daughter.
"Everyone's here, it's time to eat," Gu Yanyan called out.
At this moment, Lin Batian brought out the last dish from the kitchen.
Dinner was quite plentiful, with several dishes, including chicken, that were leftovers from lunch. However, no one complained, as the weather was so cold and the food was still relatively fresh.
After dinner, the group decided to have some fun.
Playing mahjong.
Those seated at the table included Gu Yanyan, Xu Chiyan, Lin Xun, and Su Qingshi.
As for Lin Batian, he sat attentively beside his wife.
Ning Yuluo, on the other hand, didn't know how to play and stayed next to Xu Chiyan.
Lin Xun and Su Qingshi were opponents, and Lin Xun had only recently learned how to play mahjong.
Su Qingshi already knew how to do it back in high school. She has a high talent for learning things; she only needs to watch it a few times and try it once to understand the rules.
To add to the fun, they decided to add a small bet, 10 yuan per game.
Anyone who has played mahjong knows that it's addictive, and time flies by. Three hours later, the group finally finished.
Gu Yanyan is a veteran player, and she won by defeating Ma with her superb skills.
Su Qingshi didn't lose either; on the contrary, she won several hundred yuan.
Lin Xun lost the most, partly because he did it on purpose.
If only a few women are happy, then losing some money is worthwhile.
After Ning Yuluo and Xu Chiyan got up to say goodbye, Gu Yanyan and Lin Batian also returned to their room.
Lin Xun glanced at the time and said to Su Qingshi, "Shall we go back to our rooms too?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingshi subconsciously thought of something, and her face turned slightly red.
She felt a little embarrassed to go into that room.
The memories the two of them had inside were truly too embarrassing.
However, she eventually obediently followed Lin Xun back to her room.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The second day of the Lunar New Year.
Lin Xun and Su Qingshi woke up early.
They plan to visit relatives today.
While they were having breakfast, Lin Batian and Gu Yanyan had already set off for the Gu family.
Lin Xun took out several large boxes of New Year's goods from his home and loaded them into the car.
Su Qingshi couldn't help but say, "No need to bring so much, just make sure the person arrives."
Lin Xun smiled slightly: "That won't do. This is also my first time meeting your relatives, so I have to take it seriously."
Hearing these words, Su Qingshi felt a warmth in her heart.
She knew that the other party was extending their affection to everything related to her.
They value her, so they also value her family.
"Oh, and there are red envelopes too."
Remembering something, Lin Xun turned and went back to the villa.
Soon after, the two got into the car, with Su Qingshi driving and Lin Xun putting red envelopes in the passenger seat.
When visiting relatives, you must bring red envelopes. Those relatives must have many children, and the adults will give the children red envelopes as New Year's money.
In their culture, it's generally only married adults who can give red envelopes; if you're not married yet, you're considered a child.
Lin Xun and Su Qingshi are already engaged, which can be considered as being husband and wife.
Moreover, this was Lin Xun's first time meeting Su Qingshi's relative.
The red envelopes were about the size of a man's palm. Lin Xun stuffed several bright red banknotes into each one. He had brought several stacks of cash from home, estimating it to be around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
Several hours later, the car finally arrived in Nancheng.
It was already afternoon.
Su Qingshi received a call from Su Mo, who said that she was already at her uncle's place and they could have dinner when they arrived.
After driving for several hours, Lin Xun felt sorry for his wife, so he took over driving after they got off the highway.
Following Su Qingshi's directions, Lin Xun drove to the ground floor of a four-story building.
Meanwhile, Su Qingshi's aunt and uncle, along with Yang Meihong, Su Mo, and others, were standing at the door warmly welcoming them.
The senior's relatives were all very kind and hospitable, and Lin Xun and his companion were welcomed inside as if they were surrounded by stars.
After entering the house, Lin Xun distributed the prepared red envelopes to the children, which brought them laughter and joy.
Inside the house, Lin Xun also met his senior's grandmother, who was ninety years old this year. Although she was still energetic, her memory had declined a lot. Watching the children's laughter, she smiled along with them.
Su Qingshi's relationship with her maternal grandmother wasn't particularly intense, but it was something ingrained in her genes—she respected her grandmother.
"Alright, now that Xiaoshi and Xiaolin are here, let's start eating." The uncle, as the host, waved his hand.
Lin Xun looked at them with a smile on his face. It was clear that his senior's uncle and aunt looked a lot like each other, and even Su Qingshi resembled them somewhat.
Since everyone knew about the relationship between Lin Xun and Su Qingshi, as well as Lin Xun's background, there were no dramatic plot twists during the event, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
Everyone sat together, enjoying a sumptuous dinner in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
After dinner, Su Qingshi's uncle chatted with Lin Xun for a long time, praising him highly.
Finally, he took out a red envelope and handed it to Lin Xun: "We're not a wealthy family, this is just a small token of my appreciation, for good luck."
Lin Xun accepted the gift with a flattered expression: "Happy New Year, Uncle."
The uncle nodded with a smile.
At the same time, the senior's aunt also took out red envelopes and gave them to them.
This kind of atmosphere, that's what Chinese New Year is all about!
Lin Xun also fully felt the kindness and warmth of the Su family and their relatives.
As dusk fell, Lin Xun and Su Qingshi bid farewell to their relatives and friends and drove home.
Su Mo was driving his mother around.
Su Qingshi sat in the passenger seat, her gaze fixed ahead, her usual aloofness replaced by a gentler demeanor.
Due to time constraints, we only visited my uncle's house today. Su Qingshi has more relatives than just his family.
Back at the Su family compound, the group chatted and laughed as they entered the elevator.
Yang Meihong smiled at Lin Xun and said, "Little Lin, stay at home tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Xun smiled and nodded: "Okay."
He and his senior were engaged, and there was nothing awkward about it.
Whether it was his house or his senior's house, there were clothes for both of them. After Lin Xun finished washing up in Su Qingshi's bathroom, he came out wearing a set of gray pajamas.
"Senior, it's your turn to wash."
