On the day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Dang kept his promise and arrived early in the morning. Lin Sui did not ask why he had escaped, nor did she care.
She is just that kind of person. Since she has made a three-month agreement with Zhou Dang, she will not ask about anything in Zhou Dang's family during these three months. What she wants is the result.
Lin Sui's dream for a simple New Year's Eve was actually quite ordinary. She had already bought a lot of ingredients and was planning to cook a New Year's Eve dinner with Zhou Dang. Lin Sui's cooking skills weren't bad, but she only knew a few home cooking dishes. This time, she and Zhou Dang wanted to challenge themselves with some more complex dishes, such as squirrel fish.
Zhou Dang didn't understand Lin Sui's thoughts. He thought, after all the hard work of celebrating the New Year, why bother with so much effort? He could just let Auntie cook the New Year's Eve dinner or buy it out. But seeing Lin Sui's enthusiastic look, he couldn't bear to spoil her spirits.
Lin Sui made it a ritual. She wrote a menu and posted it on the refrigerator, then posted the recipes for each dish in the kitchen. Zhou Dang was the one who had to prepare the food, so here's the scene: Lin Sui sat on the sofa, eating sunflower seeds and watching TV, while Zhou Dang was busy in the kitchen.
It was already noon when they finished preparing the dishes. Zhou Dang was wearing Lin Sui's cartoon apron, which looked a bit funny and awkward.
Lin Sui divided the work among the eight dishes. She cooked four simple ones, and Zhou Dang cooked four complicated ones, including the extremely difficult squirrel fish.
After a busy day, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when it was time for dinner.
Lin Sui looked at the table full of dishes. Some were successful, some were not, but they all looked appetizing. She took out her cell phone and took a picture.
"If you want to post on Weibo, add a food filter first." Zhou Dang did not forget to remind.
"How did you know I was going to post on Weibo?" Lin Sui was very sensitive and grasped the important information.
"Ahem... Let's eat. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold." Zhou Dang looked around and said something else.
Lin Sui smiled and understood.
The two sat at the table and clinked their glasses. Lin Sui couldn't drink alcohol, so Zhou Dang drank Coke with her.
"Happy New Year! Future father." Lin Sui narrowed his eyes and blessed Zhou Dang.
"Happy New Year! Expectant mother." Zhou Dang also smiled.
Then, in perfect tacit agreement, they toasted Lin Sui's belly, "Happy New Year, baby."
As Lin Sui ate her food, she felt a long-lost sense of happiness in her heart. What else could she pursue? At this moment, she had a child and a husband. Everything was enough.
Of course, nothing can be investigated. Once investigated, happiness becomes unspeakable. Because, at this moment, Zhou Dang is still Wen Yue's husband, and the child has not yet been born.
But Lin Sui deliberately ignored it, this is her ability.
After dinner, Zhou Dang washed the dishes, put on his coat, and prepared to leave. He was actually quite afraid of this moment, but surprisingly, Lin Sui didn't cry or make a fuss. She just sat calmly on the sofa and waved goodbye to him.
The moment he closed the door, he suddenly felt pity for Lin Sui. In fact, this was also the effect Lin Sui wanted.
After Zhou Dang left, Lin Sui did not feel sad. Instead, she watched the Spring Festival Gala while browsing her Moments. She even took the time to add a food filter to the photo she had just taken and posted it on Weibo with the caption: Our Year.
She is no longer a journalist. Although this Weibo account still has many fans, there is not much interaction. She does not care and just regards it as her little world to share her life.
Zhou Dang drove all the way back to the Zhou residence. Wen Yue had already arrived. Seeing him, she hurriedly ran to meet him.
"What kind of important client is this? He needs you to accompany him for a whole day?"
Zhou Dang smiled and said, "In the business world, you have no choice."
Wen Yue took the coat that Zhou Dang had taken off, walked forward and smelled it, and it smelled of kitchen fumes.
"Oh, this is all marinated for you. Smell it. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you've gone somewhere to be a chef." Wen Yue told Zhou Dang as if it were a joke.
Zhou Dang did not respond. After all, Wen Yue was right.
The living room was full of people, including the eldest brother and his wife, Zhou's father and mother, and their child Xuanxuan. Seeing Zhou Dang, Zhou's mother's face was not very good. "It's New Year's Day, and you left your wife at home. Where have you been?"
"Socializing, you wouldn't understand even if I told you." Zhou Dang picked up a grape from the coffee table and ate one. "It's so sweet. What kind is this?"
Mother Zhou was a little surprised. "Why are you so concerned about the variety of fruits? I don't know either. Ask Mother Wang later."
Zhou Dang nodded. It wasn't that he was concerned, but Lin Sui had recently been fond of eating sweet fruits.
Xuanxuan likes Wenyue very much. He always hugs Wenyue's legs and wants to play toys with her. Wenyue is also very patient and plays with Xuanxuan for a long time without getting bored.
Zhou's mother looked at it and was extremely happy.
"Xiao Dang, it's time for you and Wen Yue to hurry up. You've been married for a few months, but why is there still no movement in your belly? Otherwise, you should go get a prenatal checkup."
Zhou Dang smiled and said, "No, there's nothing wrong with either of us."
"You didn't do it, so how do you know there's nothing wrong with you? Don't forget, you are more than ten years older than Wenyue. No matter how healthy you are, you still need to supplement yourself. It won't hurt to see a doctor or take some tonics." Zhou's mother muttered while drinking tea.
Zhou's father was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, but he didn't seem to care.
Zhou Dang was speechless. He couldn't say that he already had a child, so that proved that he was pretty good, right?
"That's right. Our family is big, so it's better to have many children. Your elder brother and I are already preparing for our second child. Xuanxuan is already in kindergarten, so we can let him go. It's a good time to have a second child." The eldest sister-in-law said proudly.
Zhou Dang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are really conscious. If it were you, you should give birth to eight or ten children for your brother. That would show that we are a large family with a large population."
"How do you talk to your sister-in-law like that?" The eldest brother kicked Zhou Dang, who looked like he deserved a beating.
"You're almost forty, but you're still like a child." Zhou's mother came over and pointed at Zhou Dang's head, expressing her disappointment.
Wen Yue came over with Xuan Xuan. She had obviously heard everyone's conversation. She sat next to Zhou Dang, covering her mouth and whispering into his ear.
"My period hasn't come this month yet. It's already been a week late. I don't know if I'm pregnant."
Zhou Dang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Wen Yue in shock. This shouldn't be the case. He had taken measures several times in the past. Oh, he remembered that now that it was there, it meant that the seeds were planted last month.
"What are you two whispering about?" The eldest sister-in-law was afraid that there would be chaos.
"No, I was just joking." Wen Yue was very calm. It would be better not to tell anyone about this kind of thing before it is confirmed.
