Chapter 58 Chapter 58 We will all be happy in the future
The day before, Grandma called and asked the whole family to come home for the Lunar New Year, saying she couldn't wait any longer and wanted to see her grandson's wife. From afar, lanterns hung high above the gate like two red persimmons. Even before the car arrived, a line of people formed at the entrance.
This made Ruan Xiangyi very nervous.
On the way, Zhao Qingshi had already sorted out the relationships between the characters with her. He said that the one with the most amiable face was the grandmother, the one with the most gentle and considerate face was the aunt, the one with the warm-hearted heart was the younger aunt, the eldest uncle was serious and the younger uncle was nagging, the eldest uncle's family had a daughter and the younger uncle's family had two sons.
Ruan Xiangyi quickly turned their faces towards each other and called out to them one by one. Grandma was overjoyed and answered in a voice as loud as a bell. She took her hand, stroked her head, and said to Zhou Xunyin, "Qingshi is so lucky to have found such a beautiful girl."
The driver carried the gifts from the car box by box into the car, running back and forth several times. My aunt-in-law quickly said with a smile, "It's cold outside. Let's go inside first."
Grandma held Ruan Xiangyi's hand and refused to let go. The elderly always loved the younger generation. In front of Zhao Qingshi, she scolded him: "This stinky boy, you have been married for such a long time, and you didn't even bring you to see me."
Zhao Qingshi nodded: "It's my fault."
My cousin sitting next to me asked curiously, "Cousin, when did you meet your cousin's wife? Why have you never mentioned it before?"
Zhao Qingshi glanced over and said, "Little brat, why are you asking so many questions?"
My cousin disagreed: "I'm not a kid, I'm going to college soon."
"That's just a little brat."
"no."
Xun Yin whispered to Zhao Wen, "Look at your son, he looks so guilty."
Zhao Wen teased, "This guy put a lot of thought into marrying Xiangyi, so let's not laugh at him."
Grandma pulled Ruan Xiangyi aside and kept asking questions, ranging from family to school to work, like a population interrogation. Zhao Qingshi couldn't bear it any longer: "Grandma, if you ask any more, you'll know everything about my family background."
Grandma snorted: "I think it's a handle."
I just heard Xiangyi say that she hasn't graduated yet. If there weren't so many people around, I would have wanted to pick up my cane and hit him a few times to vent my anger.
"If this kid dares to bully you in the future, just tell grandma and she will help you deal with him."
Ruan Xiangyi curled her lips: "Okay. Thank you, grandma."
Today, the family was making dumplings, a traditional Chinese New Year's Eve tradition. Zhao Qingshi's dumplings looked completely different. He stuffed a silver coin into the dumplings and whispered to her, "Remember how they look. They'll be yours later."
Ruan Xiangyi praised: "Such a unique look is hard to remember, but I remember it."
Zhao Qingshi rubbed the tip of her nose with his index finger, and the white flour stuck to it, making it look like a little cat. Don't think he couldn't hear her, she was deliberately mocking his ugly dumplings. He had no idea how to do these things. This was his first time making dumplings, so this wasn't bad, was it?
Grandma was originally chatting with Zhou Xunyin. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but poke her hand and pointed at her: "Look, the relationship between the young couple is so good."
Xun Yin looked over and saw Zhao Qingshi using a tissue to wipe off the flour she had gotten on him.
"Since Qingshi is already married to Xiangyi, you should stop thinking about Li Wenyin. That child has no destiny with our Qingshi. I wasn't optimistic about it anyway."
Xun Yin withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "I understand."
In the end, the silver coin that Zhao Qingshi had wrapped was not eaten by Ruan Xiangyi, but by the cousin of his uncle's family. He reached out to Zhao Qingshi for a red envelope, a big red envelope.
Zhao Qingshi was also very happy. Afterwards, he transferred 5,200 yuan to him. He was so happy that he said, "Sister-in-law, my cousin is so generous!"
Zhao Qingshi just wanted to spend money to buy some peace and quiet: "Go away, don't bother us."
My cousin quickly went to ask my grandmother for a red envelope. The red envelope my grandmother gave Ruan Xiangyi was thicker than the others, more than three times thicker. This was the first time Ruan Xiangyi had received such a large red envelope. She felt like she was picking up money.
Zhao Qingshi said, "Grandma, you missed one."
Grandma looked at the red envelope in his hand and said, "Didn't I give it to you?"
Zhao Qingshi curled his lips and reached out for it: "Where's the great-grandson's?"
No one in the room reacted at first, but it was my aunt who finally understood what he meant: "Qingshi, are you saying Xiangyi is pregnant?"
Grandma looked at Xun Yin and said, "Really?"
Until she saw Xun Yin nod, grandma was so excited that she almost danced with joy, clapping her hands and laughing: "Okay, okay, that's great!"
My cousin asked, "Do I have to be a cousin?"
Zhao Qingshi: "Yes."
"Xiangyi, come here quickly." Grandma's eyes were filled with tears. "Good girl, thank you for your hard work."
Ruan Xiangyi shook her head: "It's okay, grandma, it's not hard."
Grandma asked her aunt to go to her room and get a jade bracelet. She put it on Ruan Xiangyi's wrist and said, "It's not a valuable thing. It was left to me by your grandfather. I didn't want to give it to Xun Yin when she got married, so I wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Now I give it to you. I hope you and Qing Shi will be well in the future."
Ruan Xiangyi felt that her wrist was as heavy as a thousand gold coins: "Thank you, grandma."
Zhao Qingshi held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, grandma."
After the fun, my uncle suggested that everyone stay up together this year and chat until midnight. When everything was almost said, my grandmother's eyes began to feel sore and she yawned. She was old and didn't want to bother anymore. She said she wanted to go upstairs to rest and told Ruan Xiangyi not to fool around with them too late.
We have mahjong at home, so we set up a group to play mahjong, otherwise we will have to wait in silence all night long.
My aunt-in-law asked, "Xiangyi, do you know how to play?"
Before Ruan Xiangyi could speak, Zhao Qingshi raised an eyebrow and said, "Believe it or not, Auntie, she's even better at it than you are."
My aunt-in-law thought his words were exaggerated. So Zhao Qingshi sat next to Ruan Xiangyi and watched her hands skillfully play mahjong on the table.
I remember the first time I saw her playing mahjong was at Song Yuhuan's house. She looked very skilled.
He pinched her waist, watched her play a three-card card, leaned close to her ear and asked, "So you didn't have a relationship in college, so you just studied and played mahjong all day?"
Ruan Xiangyi felt a little itchy and moved his hand away: "Freshman classes are not that tight. I will go out and play a few games with my roommates on the weekends."
"It doesn't look like they've played a few rounds."
"I'm smart." I raised my eyebrows, imitating his tone.
Zhao Qingshi chuckled.
Playing mahjong is the same as playing cards. If you write down the cards on the table to figure out what cards other players have, you have a greater chance of winning. On the other hand, she also has good luck.
She won money, he collected it, and in the end all the money went into his pocket. His aunt scolded him for this, but Zhao Qingshi didn't care.
By the late hours of the night, when the sound of firecrackers outside had died down, Ruan Xiangyi seemed to be getting more energetic and having a blast. Zhao Qingshi, feeling sleepy, forced himself to stay awake to accompany her. He had never stayed up this late, except for special occasions. But seeing how much fun she was having, almost getting along well with her uncle and aunt, he didn't want to spoil her spirits, so he played a few games with her.
The group played until almost dawn before returning to their rooms to sleep. Lying on the bed, Ruan Xiangyi was no longer sleepy and pulled Zhao Qingshi to talk.
“I like the atmosphere at my grandmother’s house.”
"My uncle and aunt are also very nice."
From childhood to adulthood, she has never had a year as comfortable and warm as this year.
She was really lucky to meet Zhao Qingshi.
"Are you asleep?" she asked softly in the darkness.
"Yeah." Zhao Qingshi answered with his eyes closed.
"Um?"
Zhao Qingshi held her in his arms and said, "Go to sleep."
Ruan Xiangyi smiled secretly, tilted her head back, and in the dim light, looked at his outline with his eyes closed, and kissed him on the chin.
"Happy New Year! Husband." She hugged him and closed her eyes.
A few seconds later, the man with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, hugged her tightly, pressed his lips against her hair, and then he raised his lips and fell asleep beautifully.
A new life begins.
Time will slowly prove what he said to her.
——We will all be happy in the future.
