Chapter 548 New Year
It was not until the afternoon of New Year's Eve that Lu Jingyou brought Su Jiaojiao back to the old house. They had agreed to return to Jinyuan on the first day of the new year and go out for their honeymoon on the second day.
Su Jiaojiao wanted to take Chen Guilan with her. Even if it was a honeymoon, it was still a trip. She hadn't taken her mother out for a good time yet.
Chen Guilan refused, saying that she didn't like traveling and just wanted to stay at home. It would be wrong for her to follow the couple when they went out to play.
The person who was most happy about Su Jiaojiao's return was Lu Qingqing. She followed Su Jiaojiao wherever she went. She was very happy to finally have a sister-in-law whom she could talk to.
Su Jiaojiao also likes chatting with Lu Qingqing and even gave her a rabbit doll.
Wu Xinyue was very happy to see that her aunt and sister-in-law got along well. Lu Qingqing kept telling her how great Su Jiaojiao was, so she had a particularly good impression of Su Jiaojiao.
Especially, the two of them were kidnapped at the same time that day, and they were real friends in life and death. She knew that if Su Jiaojiao hadn't been there that day, Lu Qingqing didn't know what would have happened to her.
When she thinks about it now, she still feels a lingering fear.
Over the years, she and Lin Manli had a mediocre relationship, and she knew that Lin Manli had always looked down on her. When she learned that Lu Jingyou had found a rural girl, she felt very gloating, but now she only felt gratitude and love for Su Jiaojiao.
Wu Xinyue knew that Lin Manli had a bad impression of Su Jiaojiao, but she insisted on being nice to Su Jiaojiao. She peeled apples for Lu Qingqing and also for Su Jiaojiao. Whatever Lu Qingqing had, Su Jiaojiao also had.
Lin Manli saw it and felt very disdainful.
Of course she understood Wu Xinyue's thoughts. She just wanted to outdo her mother-in-law!
No matter what, Su Jiaojiao is her daughter-in-law and has nothing to do with Wu Xinyue.
Wu Xinyue knew Lin Manli even better. She insisted on getting in touch with Su Jiaojiao, so she enthusiastically pulled Su Jiaojiao to chat: "I don't have anything to do now. If you are too busy over there, just tell me. Second Aunt can't do anything else, but cutting thread is no problem."
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you too." Lu Qingqing didn't have as many ideas as Wu Xinyue. She was just simply curious, "I want to see how those beautiful clothes are made."
"Okay, I'll take you to the workshop to play when I'm free." Su Jiaojiao took the olive branch offered by Wu Xinyue. She used to think that Wu Xinyue was a cruel person, but after investigation, Lu Jingyou found out that it was not the case.
Wu Xinyue did scold Qin Shuang, but Qin Shuang’s car accident was not instigated by Wu Xinyue, but by her cousin Wu Qin.
Wu Qin was worried that Qin Shuang would appear and snatch Lu Jiaping away from Wu Xinyue, so he came up with such a vicious idea.
Over the years, he has made a lot of money from Jiahe Group. In his eyes, getting rid of Qin Shuang is equivalent to saving himself.
In order to protect Wu Qin, Wu Xinyue did not expose him, but chose to turn a deaf ear and keep the peace.
In fact, ever since Lu Jiaping got into trouble, she had silently accepted Qin Xiuming in her heart. During the two days that Qin Xiuming stayed in the old house, she also took the initiative to talk to him, which surprised everyone.
Mrs. Wu prepared all the meals for Chinese New Year before returning home. She lived not far away and it only took her ten minutes to ride a bike home.
Every year, Mrs. Lu would ask her to save some flour and dumpling fillings, and the whole family would sit together to make them. Older people all like the scene of having their children and grandchildren around them.
This year is no exception. Old Mrs. Lu knew that Su Jiaojiao didn't eat fatty meat, so she asked Mrs. Wu to prepare a three-fresh filling.
Su Jiaojiao has been able to make dumplings since she was a child. When she was in Jinyuan, she often made dumplings with Ding Linyu and the others. Her dumplings were as good as any of theirs. Old Mrs. Lu kept praising her: "Jiaojiao's dumplings look like gold ingots. You will definitely make a lot of money next year."
"Thank you for your good wishes, grandma. When I make a lot of money, I will treat you to delicious food." Su Jiaojiao looked at the dumplings made by Lu Jingyou and laughed out loud. The dumplings he made were all lying on the plate, and none of them stood up. But he was still very serious and didn't even say a word.
"Okay, grandma'll wait." Old Mrs. Lu didn't mind that Su Jiaojiao lived in her parents' home. She had more contact with Chen Guilan and knew that it was not easy for Chen Guilan to raise Su Jiaojiao alone. Their family couldn't marry their daughter and then ignore her mother.
If Su Jiaojiao can be filial to her mother, she will be able to treat them well in the future.
Old Mrs. Lu was able to see this clearly.
In other words, Lin Manli couldn't see through the situation and had to compete with Su Jiaojiao, thinking about training the new daughter-in-law and establishing her authority in front of her. However, she was old and no longer had this idea.
Each family has its own rules. The Lu family starts cooking after making dumplings, watches the Spring Festival Gala while eating, stays up together until midnight, and gets up at five in the morning on the first day of the new year to set off firecrackers, which is very different from Jiao County.
In Jiao County, people cook dumplings at midnight, and then start to greet each other after dinner, and don’t come back to rest until dawn.
After dinner, Lu Qingqing pestered Lu Jingyou to teach her how to play chess, saying that she could play a few games with Lu Jingyou when she came back.
Everyone laughed. Old Master Lu said, "Your elder brother has been playing chess since he was a child and even won the city championship. Even if you learn for ten years, you won't be able to catch up with him."
"Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang." Lu Qingqing said with a smile, "My sister-in-law and I will learn together, so we can definitely beat him."
"Then I'll teach you two and see who learns faster." Lu Jingyou looked at Su Jiaojiao and saw that she was very interested, so he set out the chessboard and began to explain.
Old Master Lu loves playing chess. Every time Lu Jingyou comes back, the two of them will play a few games together.
Lu Jingyou gave a general explanation and asked Su Jiaojiao and Lu Qingqing to play a game of chess, and Su Jiaojiao actually won.
"Your sister-in-law is indeed a fast learner." Old Master Lu always thought that Su Jiaojiao was smart. A beginner would not give in to the game. Judging from her moves, she liked to take the initiative to attack, while Lu Qingqing was always on the defensive.
Lu Qingqing also quickly learned the key points and tied with Su Jiaojiao in the second game.
Su Jiaojiao became interested and suggested playing chess with Lu Jingyou when she returned to the house. Lu Jingyou looked at her meaningfully and said, "What if you lose?"
"If I lose, I lose. How could I possibly beat you?" Su Jiaojiao had already set up the chessboard on the coffee table in the small living room. "It's good that you taught me. We can play chess often in the future."
After taking two moves, Su Jiaojiao began to regret her move: "I won't go here anymore. I'll go here. No, this is it."
"Chess is about making sure you don't regret your moves. How could you cheat?" Lu Jingyou laughed. "If you keep doing this, I won't be able to play chess with you."
"As a master, you must be patient." Su Jiaojiao looked down at the chess board, holding her chin and said, "If you teach me carefully, I will learn it."
The look of her thinking seriously touched his heart instantly. Unable to bear it any longer, he carried her to the bed and kissed her hard: "I will teach you slowly, I will be very attentive..."
