Chapter 148 New Year's Eve
I don’t know which word of Jian Zhonglan’s touched Mao Chunqiao’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, but she exploded all of a sudden.
"Don't tell me about that damn girl." Maybe because he was too excited, his originally restrained voice suddenly rose several degrees.
"Are you still going to sleep?" Jian Dashan's cold voice came from the room.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep!" Mao Chunqiao immediately wilted.
"Mom..." Jian Zhonglan didn't dare to shout anymore.
Although Jian Dashan seems easy to talk to on weekdays, he can be quite intimidating when he really gets angry.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Mao Chunqiao didn't dare to say any more nonsense. She got up and went back to the house after saying that.
Jian Zhonglan picked up the malted milk on the coffee table and drank it in one gulp, then stood up angrily and went back to the house.
.
In the south city, on New Year’s Eve, the elders in the family will take the children from one end of the street to the other to buy some couplets, door gods, and New Year’s goods, which means bringing good luck and happiness home.
Jian Qingyi, who had originally planned to sleep in, was also yelled at early by Jian Zhongliang.
"Dad, I didn't go to bed until midnight last night." Jian Qingyi, with a messy hair, opened the door sleepily.
"Stop dawdling, wash your face and eat. After dinner, let's go to Flower Street." Jian Zhongliang grabbed her arm and pushed her into the bathroom.
"Can I not go?" Jian Qingyi wanted to struggle again.
Rather than strolling around the flower streets, she wanted to have a good sleep.
In the past month, she got up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs every day. She finally closed the business for a few days and thought she could have a good sleep, but she didn't go to the flower street again.
"No, hurry up." Jian Zhongliang stuffed the toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed into her hand.
Jian Qingyi sighed and began to brush her teeth resignedly.
While Jian Qingyi was brushing her teeth, Jian Zhongliang quickly prepared water for her to wash her face.
Li Meiqian, who was busy in the kitchen, glanced sideways at the direction of the bathroom, her expression visibly ugly.
Jian Xiaojing, who was serving food at the table, could not hide her gloom and irritability between her eyebrows.
After Jian Qingyi washed her face and came over, the mother and daughter put on the mask of gentleness and virtue again.
"Yi Yi, eat more." Li Meiqian pushed the dishes towards Jian Qingyi attentively.
Jian Qingyi didn't say anything and ate her meal in silence.
Although this person's character is not good, his cooking skills are really good.
"Xiaojing, you should eat more too." Jian Zhongliang put the boiled eggs he had peeled into Jian Xiaojing's bowl.
"Thank you, Dad." Jian Xiaojing looked up and smiled sweetly at Jian Zhongliang.
"Eat quickly! After that, let's go to Flower Street." Jian Zhongliang smiled and put another piece of vinegar-fried potato shreds into Jian Xiaojing's bowl.
"Yeah!" Jian Xiaojing nodded with a smile.
If it were the original owner, seeing the loving father and filial daughter look of them, he would probably be emo again.
Jian Zhongliang was probably afraid that his little girl would be unhappy, so after picking up some dishes for Jian Xiaojing, he immediately peeled a boiled egg for Jian Qingyi.
In order to show his fairness, he also picked up a piece of shredded potatoes for Jian Qingyi.
In this regard, Jian Qingyi only wanted to say, "He really thinks too much."
Today is Jian Qingyi's birthday. Since there will be a lunch party, Li Meiqian, as the main force in the kitchen, naturally has to stay at home to cook.
As Jian Zhongliang, Jian Qingyi and Jian Xiaojing walked out of the unit, they ran into Zhuo Shuliang who was going out to visit the flower street.
"Uncle Jian!" Zhuo Shuliang nodded politely to Jian Zhongliang.
"Young man, where are you going when you're dressed so smartly?" Jian Zhongliang joked with a smile.
Jian Zhongliang still likes Zhuo Shuliang, a good student who excels in every subject.
Jian Zhongliang did not reject the rumors about him and Jian Xiaojing.
One could even say...
Be optimistic about it!
Although the Zhuo family is not a wealthy family, they are all honest people. I think Jian Xiaojing will not have a bad life if she goes to his house.
and……
With Zhuo Shuliang's current grades, there is a high probability that he will be admitted to university.
Jian Xiaojing will not suffer any loss if she follows him.
"I'm going to the flower street, Uncle Jian, what are you doing..." Zhuo Shuliang asked in a pretentious manner.
"Let's go to Flower Street too, shall we? Together?" Jian Zhongliang asked with a smile.
Zhuo Shuliang had been waiting all morning, just waiting for him to say this.
Jian Xiaojing frowned.
In the past, she could still give him a perfunctory response.
But after tossing and turning all night last night, she really didn't have the mood or energy to play the role of childhood sweethearts with him.
Zhuo Shuliang was so happy at the moment that he didn't notice Jian Xiaojing's mood changes or her eyebrows that were almost tied into a knot.
"Brother Jian, you're here early!" someone greeted with a smile.
"Go early and come back early! I have to celebrate my Yi Yi's birthday when I come back." Jian Zhongliang said with a smile.
"Where is your son-in-law? Didn't he accompany you, his father-in-law, to stroll around the flower street in our South City?" Someone nearby teased.
"He said he had an important meeting in the morning and left at midnight yesterday." Jian Zhongliang smiled.
"Brother Jian, your son-in-law is really amazing. He's so busy, yet he still came all the way here to celebrate Yi Yi's birthday."
"Why are you being picky? What we elders say doesn't count." Jian Zhongliang pretended not to understand.
"Such a good son-in-law, what's there to pick? If I can find such a good son-in-law, I will just build a shrine for him and worship him. Why would I be so picky!" Sun Qiang came out from nowhere.
"We just met, how can I tell what's good and what's bad?" Jian Zhongliang said modestly.
"Second Brother Jian, you are talking without any concern. Just based on the fireworks your son-in-law set off last night, he could probably have married several wives here. And this is still not good. How can we applaud it?" Someone else spoke from the side.
"Deputy Director Jian, you have to keep an eye on such a good son-in-law and make sure he doesn't get snatched away by someone else." A middle-aged man said sourly.
"Just pry it away, what's so good about it? If she really gets pried away, I'll have to set off some firecrackers. Then, I'll find a live-in son-in-law. It's better than marrying her off far away." Jian Zhongliang snorted.
"Second Brother Jian is right! With our Yi Yi's ability, she can live a prosperous life no matter who she finds." Sun Qiang did not forget to come out to show his presence.
Ever since his second daughter started working in a clothing store, his family's living standard has been rising sharply.
In the past, when he drank white wine that cost 50 cents per pound, he would add half a pound of water to it.
Now, he drinks liquor at 80 cents a pound without hesitation.
In the past, a plate of peanuts would make him drink for three days.
Now, he can have a full meal of meat every few days.
"You speak better than you sing." The middle-aged man sneered.
"No matter how nice it is spoken or sung, it's better than some people who can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour, right?!" Jian Qingyi couldn't stand it anymore.
She ignored him, but he really treated her as a soft persimmon.
"I've already told you today, not to mention that he hasn't been stolen away yet, even if he was, the things he gave me are enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life."
