On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Haidong accompanied his brother-in-law Lu Yaobin to deliver gifts to Zhou Xiaoxiao's family.
This was what Feng Haidong promised his brother-in-law on New Year's Eve.
The reason why he asked his brother-in-law Feng Haidong to go along was mainly because Lu Yaobin was somewhat afraid of Zhou Xiaoxiao's father, Zhou Shengde.
The last time he went back with Zhou Xiaoxiao, Zhou Shengde didn't give Lu Yaobin a friendly look.
However, during the meal, Zhou Shengde mentioned Feng Haidong and praised Feng Haidong's articles for being excellent, capturing social issues effectively without resorting to mere criticism.
I learned that my future father-in-law greatly admires my brother-in-law, Feng Haidong.
Lu Yaobin was going to Zhou Xiaoxiao's house to deliver gifts on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so naturally he had to invite his brother-in-law along.
This was partly to bolster his own courage and partly to allow Zhou Xiaoxiao's father to shift his focus to Feng Haidong.
Lu Feng was also traveling with Feng Haidong and his group.
Lu Feng had originally said he wanted to visit Gu Lin's home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
As a result, the two discussed before the Chinese New Year that Gu Lin should attend the family's New Year's Eve banquet on New Year's Day, but Gu Lin refused.
So, in a fit of pique, Lu Feng decided not to visit Gu Lin's home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
In Lu Feng's own words, if he went to Gu Lin's house, he would probably be given the cold shoulder by Gu Lin's mother and be criticized by Gu Lin's brother and sister in a sarcastic manner, so it would be better not to go at all.
Feng Haidong didn't say anything. In his memories from his previous life, his youngest brother-in-law did indeed marry Gu Lin, but the two later divorced.
Moreover, in her previous life, after Gu Lin married Lu Feng, she always complained that Lu Feng was incompetent.
Therefore, Feng Haidong felt that Lu Feng not marrying Gu Lin in this life wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Lu Yaobin never had a good opinion of his brother's relationship with Gu Lin.
So on the way, Lu Yaobin kept telling his younger brother, "Xiao Wu, you have to remember one thing: a man must always stand tall. Look at you in front of Gu Lin, do you still have any dignity as a man? So I think it's right that you didn't go to Gu Lin's house today. You have to be tough."
Lu Feng was still somewhat timid and hesitant in front of his older brother.
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Alright, Third Brother, say less. Fifth Brother has his own ideas. Let him make his own decision."
Seeing that his brother-in-law had spoken, Lu Yaobin could only agree, saying, "Alright, then I won't say anything more."
Feng Haidong said to Lu Feng, "Xiao Wu, think it through yourself. If you're going to the provincial capital after the New Year to work with Brother Tang, you'll also need to resolve the issues between you and Gu Lin."
Lu Feng nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, I know."
Feng Haidong didn't say anything more, and the group carried various things into the residential area where Zhou Xiaoxiao lived.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard someone call out "Feng Haidong".
The three people stopped, looking around curiously.
Soon, a woman wearing a white down jacket and with short hair was seen running quickly through the snow.
After recognizing the woman, Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, Su Xin? You live around here too?"
Su Xin said with a smile, "My parents live here. I used to live in the company dormitory, but now that it's Chinese New Year, I definitely have to come back."
Feng Haidong suddenly realized: "Oh, I see."
Su Xin sized up the people around Feng Haidong.
Feng Haidong quickly came to his senses and introduced them, saying, "Oh, these are my two brothers-in-law, Lu Yaobin and Lu Feng."
He then introduced his two brothers-in-law: "This is Su Xin. We used to perform together at the workers' association event."
Su Xin looked at Lu Yaobin and said, "So you're Lu Yaobin."
These words surprised Feng Haidong and the other two.
Feng Haidong asked, "What? Is my brother-in-law that famous around here?"
Su Xin said with a grin, "She is indeed quite famous. My parents were saying yesterday that Uncle Zhou's eldest daughter found a divorced boyfriend with a child, and Uncle Zhou is very unhappy about it."
These words made Feng Haidong very embarrassed.
Lu Yaobin didn't feel embarrassed at all: "So it's already spread? Actually, Xiaoxiao and I are truly in love. That's why I specially invited my brother-in-law to come along today to wish Uncle Zhou a Happy New Year."
Su Xin sized up Lu Yaobin, then looked at Lu Feng standing to the side.
Then she said to Feng Haidong, "Feng Haidong, you're going to visit Uncle Zhou's house for the New Year today. Be careful, I heard Uncle Zhou is very unhappy."
Feng Haidong said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about this. After all, they are in love. I came here to talk to Uncle Zhou about this issue and hope that he can understand and accept it."
Su Xin shook her head and said, "That's probably not easy."
Feng Haidong could only say, "It's all up to us, let's give it a try."
Su Xin then asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"
Feng Haidong said, "Isn't that necessary? Aren't you going out?"
Su Xin said, "I don't have anything to do anyway. I mainly stay at home because my parents get annoyed with me and always want to nag me about getting married, so I can only go out and hide from them."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yaobin quickly said, "Then let's go together. With you here, Xiaoxiao's parents shouldn't get angry right away."
Su Xin burst out laughing: "Hahaha, now I know why Xiaoxiao likes you. You're really shameless."
Lu Yaobin smiled and said, "You flatter me."
After thinking about it, Feng Haidong decided not to let Su Xin go with him.
"You'd better not go. After all, Uncle Zhou might already have some opinions about this. Now that you, a neighbor, are going with us, he might not say anything on the surface, but he'll definitely be very uncomfortable inside."
