"Ah, yes, sister, brother-in-law, you've been married for so many years and haven't been back to your parents' home for Chinese New Year yet."
"This year, I'm bringing the kids home to celebrate and let them get closer to their family."
Li Fuyou has only become a little more polite in the last two years. There's nothing he can do about it; the Zhou family has become wealthy, and his forceful approach is useless. He can only submit and obediently call them "sister" and "brother-in-law."
However, this realization came a little late. Before Li Qiuju and Zhou Dayong could even express their opinions, Zhou Xu had already snorted.
“I’m not going. Grandma said we’re going to eat seafood this Chinese New Year.”
"My second uncle's friend brought back several boxes from the seaside, and I need to stay at home."
Zhao Xiaohua quickly chimed in, "Ah Xu, if you want to eat seafood, your aunt can buy it. There are seafood vendors in our town."
It's incredibly expensive, but considering she's going to invite the Zhou family over for the New Year, she has to grit her teeth and buy some, even if it's expensive.
Zhou Xu glanced at her. "Can we buy a table?"
"Huh?" Zhao Xiaohua stared at him. A whole table? How much would that cost?
"My second uncle had someone bring back several boxes of seafood so we could eat our fill. Could we have a table full of seafood at your house?"
Zhou Xu is not a gluttonous person and is usually polite, but when he encounters these two people, he can't control his mouth.
"Ah Xu!" Zhou Dayong pretended to scold, "Eating is eating, how can you talk like that?"
"I don't care, you guys go if you want, I'm not going." With that, Zhou Xu lifted his butt and walked outside, seemingly heading to the next room.
"The kid doesn't know any better, please don't mind him." Zhou Sui wanted to laugh when she heard Zhou Dayong say this. A kid? Zhou Xu? Have you ever seen a nineteen-year-old kid with hearing problems?
Zhao Xiaohua and Li Fuyou couldn't say anything either, "We don't mind, what's there to mind about our own family?"
"Mom and Dad, I made plans with Yu'er and the others to watch fireworks during the Chinese New Year, so I won't be going," Zhou Sui said, putting down her teacup.
Zhao Xiaohua was anxious. She knew that Zhou Sui had a lot of say in this family, and she couldn't just not go.
"Grandma's house also has fireworks, they're really big and last a long time. You can go upstairs to watch them and see them very clearly."
She was still talking when she felt someone tugging at her clothes. When she turned around, she saw Li Fuyou winking at her.
What does that mean? In front of the Zhou family, Zhao Xiaohua couldn't ask, so she could only look at Li Fuyou blankly.
Li Fuyou had no choice but to say, "You don't understand these young people. It's only fun to play with young people. We're all from the older generation. Sui Sui probably finds it boring. Staying here means she has someone to have fun with."
Zhao Xiaohua looked at him in confusion. What was going on? This was different from what he had said when he came.
"It's hard to explain now," Li Fuyou said to Li Qiuju.
"Sister, the past is the past. Mom's health is like that now. She's getting younger with each passing year. Why don't you go back and visit her?"
Li Qiuju hasn't visited the Li family for two consecutive years. Even when Old Lady Li was injured, she only went to the hospital to take a look, gave some money and some tonics, and then did nothing else.
Zhou Sui couldn't help but interject, "That old lady seems to be in very good health. When she was cursing at the hospital, you could hear her clearly from the first floor. I think she'll live to see another year come."
After being rebuked by Zhou Sui, Li Fuyou almost lost his temper, but he also knew that now was not the time for him to throw a tantrum.
He felt that he had come at the wrong time; he should have come when it was just the couple, so as not to get things done and upset himself.
