Chapter 461 A Little Misunderstanding
"No, this is the person I'm dating." Su Jiaojiao pulled Lu Jingyou to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and explained, "My second uncle doesn't know I have a partner. I didn't go to see the one he introduced to me."
Although she had a bad impression of Wang Yunying, she was willing to believe that Wang Yunying was unaware of the situation and did not intentionally say these things in front of Lu Jingyou.
Lu Jingyou took the cup expressionlessly and took a sip of water.
Nothing said.
"Yes, it's my fault for not explaining clearly. It caused a misunderstanding." Chen Guilan simply took the blame and asked Wang Yunying, "All the cloth in our house is in the shop downstairs. Come with me to get whatever you want."
"Okay, I don't need much. I'm just looking for that kind of fine cotton cloth. I steamed a few extra buns during the first month of the lunar year, so I want to make a quilt to cover myself with."
"Yes, let's go down and look for her!" Chen Guilan put on her coat and walked out. Wang Yunying followed Chen Guilan out and said to Su Jiaojiao at the door, "Jiaojiao, bring your boyfriend home for dinner on the sixth day of the New Year. Go early with your mom, and I won't come to call you."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed. Lu Jingyou stood up again and greeted Wang Yunying, "Goodbye, auntie."
"Yeah, hahaha." Wang Yunying didn't know how to respond to her nephew-in-law. Xiao Lu was very polite.
After Chen Guilan and Wang Yunying came downstairs, Lu Jingyou sat down to continue eating. Chen Guilan prepared two hot dishes for him, braised pig's trotters and scrambled eggs with spinach, two cold dishes, mixed green onions with basil, cucumber and dried shrimp, as well as rice and red bean porridge.
He ate with gusto but didn't say a word.
Seeing that he was angry, Su Jiaojiao explained again: "I told you that my second uncle didn't know anything about it, so he said he would introduce me to someone. I explained everything to him clearly, and I didn't go to see them."
"And then?" Lu Jingyou looked at her seriously. The innocence on her face made him feel angry and amused.
"That's all." Su Jiaojiao also looked at him seriously. "It's over now. I don't think there's any need to explain this to my uncle's family. Now that you're here, they'll naturally know."
"That is to say, before this incident, they didn't know of my existence, right?"
"I only come back once a year, how would they know?" Su Jiaojiao wondered why Lu Jingyou thought that. "You did come last year, but at that time, their two families were having a conflict and stopped communicating. I didn't go back to the village or visit my uncle's house. I couldn't just go and tell them that I had a girlfriend, could I?"
"Okay, I got it." Lu Jingyou got up and brought the food into the kitchen and washed the dishes. He knew that if he continued talking, she would get angry.
After Chen Guilan sent Wang Yunying away and came back, she saw Lu Jingyou washing dishes in the kitchen. She hurried in to stop him and said, "Take a rest. We don't need you."
"It's just one bowl, it will be washed quickly." Lu Jingyou put the washed bowl into the cupboard and returned to the room as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Su Jiaojiao sitting in the living room watching TV, Chen Guilan couldn't help but complain, "Why did you ask him to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes?"
"It's just one bowl, it doesn't matter who washes it." Su Jiaojiao stood up and went into the house. She even went to pick him up in such a hurry. He didn't trust her at all.
Chen Guilan: “…”
Seeing that Lu Jingyou had returned to his room, she went forward and knocked on the door, handing him the toiletries she had prepared in advance: "These are all prepared for you. I don't know if you can get used to them, so just use them!"
"Thank you, Auntie. It's fine." Lu Jingyou took it with a smile and went to the bathroom to wash up.
He actually brought all these himself, but he couldn't refuse his mother-in-law's kindness.
Su Jiaojiao went back to her room, got her pajamas, and went to Chen Guilan's place. She waited until Lu Jingyou finished washing up before going in to take a shower. When she came out, Lu Jingyou had already turned off the lights and gone to bed.
After the mother and daughter fell asleep, Chen Guilan whispered to Su Jiaojiao, "Is Xiao Lu unhappy because of what your aunt said?"
"No." Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "He's not that petty. Besides, I didn't go!"
"That's good." Chen Guilan finally felt relieved. "This is all my fault..."
"It's all in the past, don't mention it." Su Jiaojiao turned over, "Go to sleep!"
The next day, before dawn, Chen Guilan got up to knead dough, mince meat, make dumplings, cook millet porridge, and clean the house inside and out.
She was afraid of waking them up, so she mopped the floor carefully, tidied the sofa, and prepared gifts for returning to the village.
Lu Jingyou slept very comfortably at night and slept until dawn. When he woke up, he smelled the fragrance of buns and heard the mother and daughter talking in the living room. He looked at the watch and it was already half past seven.
He immediately got up, changed his clothes, went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, and took a shower. Seeing that he was ready, Chen Guilan brought out the buns from the kitchen and said, "Let's go after dinner. Go over early and help your second aunt cook."
"Yeah." Su Jiaojiao agreed and scooped a bowl of porridge for Lu Jingyou. Lu Jingyou took it and took the opportunity to squeeze her hand. It was New Year's Day, there was no need to be unhappy about such a thing.
He came to see her, not to cause trouble for her.
Su Jiaojiao looked at him and stepped on his shoe. Even if the matter was over, she would be really angry if he brought it up again.
Chen Guilan didn't notice their little tricks. Instead, she asked Lu Jingyou seriously, "Xiao Lu, how can you drink?"
"Auntie, I don't drink much. If I do, it's only about three taels at most." Lu Jingyou answered truthfully.
"Your second uncle and your cousin's husband can both hold their liquor. If you can't handle it, don't drink with them," Chen Guilan warned. "Your second uncle is a very enthusiastic person. He'll definitely let you drink. You should be aware of this and don't get drunk."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Lu Jingyou agreed happily.
After dinner, the three of them prepared to return to the village.
Lu Jingyou knew that he was going to visit his eldest and second uncles' homes, so he specially brought a few bottles of good wine. Together with the cigarettes, alcohol and tea that he asked Su Jiaojiao to bring back before the New Year, the gifts he brought back to the village were very generous.
Chen Guilan carefully divided the wine into several portions, saying they were for her two uncles. She then took two more and told Su Jiaojiao, "You've finally made it back to the village, so take some extra and put them in the trunk. If it's convenient for your grandmother and uncle, take the wine and tea to visit them. If not, forget it and bring them back."
"Mom, I don't need to go see them." Su Jiaojiao understood what Chen Guilan meant. She meant that if Gao Meifeng was not in the village, she would go and see them. If Gao Meifeng was there, there was no need to go.
"Let's take them first and see what happens later!" Chen Guilan didn't insist. She actually had her own thoughts. She wanted the Su family to see her daughter and son-in-law...
She couldn't say it in front of Lu Jingyou.
Lu Jingyou was not familiar with the road conditions, so Su Jiaojiao sat in the passenger seat to lead the way for him.
Chen Guilan sat in the back seat, looking at her daughter and son-in-law sitting in the front. She was in a surprisingly good mood. She had never felt that the road back to the village was so smooth...
