A room for storing miscellaneous items?
Cheng Maixiang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything valuable in that room that Aijun would covet. She thought it must be the firecrackers she bought or some Didi gold. He was too embarrassed to ask her for them, so he had to secretly take some. It wasn't a big deal. It was New Year's Day, and Cheng Maixiang didn't want to upset the whole family, so she smiled and said to Qiaomai, "Since he wants to set off firecrackers secretly, let him go. Don't pay any attention to him."
Before Qiaomai could say anything, a bicycle bell suddenly rang out in the yard, and Cheng Maiqing came out from the main hall to greet him, "Xiaolin, you're here so early!"
Lin Jiayu and his family are here!
Cheng Maixiang smiled and walked out of the kitchen. Qiaomai was even more impatient and rushed out. She rushed to Yingying who had just got off the bicycle, jumped and hugged her with a smile.
Yingying had been thinking about her ever since she left the Cheng family. Now that the two sisters met, they were extremely happy. However, she was more shy than Qiaomai after all. Although her face was full of smiles, she still didn't jump around.
Cheng Maixiang walked over with a smile and saw that Lin Jiayu was wearing a slim-fitting grey jacket and matching trousers, which made his skin look particularly fair and indescribably handsome. She couldn't help but pull at the corner of his clothes and said, "It seems that the clothes I made suit you very well."
Seeing that everyone from the Cheng family was present, Lin Jiayu couldn't do anything too intimate, so he could only whisper in her ear, "Of course, my wife has always had good taste, otherwise why would she have chosen me."
"Virtue!" Cheng Maixiang deliberately slapped him in the face with a frown. Lin Jiayu smiled without saying a word, took down the gift hanging on the handlebar and handed it to Mrs. Cheng.
While Cheng's mother was letting the Lin family into the house, she complained to Lin Jiayu, "Xiao Jia, next time you come to your aunt's house, don't buy so many things. We are not strangers, so why are you so polite?"
Lin Jiayu just smiled and didn't answer. Everyone sat down in the main room and talked intimately. Cheng's mother was about to give Yingying New Year's money, but she saw Qiaomai couldn't wait to take Yingying out to play.
Lin Qingwan tried her best to refuse, but Lin Jiayu smiled and accepted it on Yingying's behalf, "Sister, Aunt Cheng is old, this is a blessing she gave to Yingying, we can't refuse it."
As she spoke, she took out four red envelopes that she had prepared long ago from her pocket and gave two to her eldest and second brothers, "This is a gift from my eldest sister and I to the children. Don't think it's too little, eldest and second brothers."
Brother Cheng and his wife were shocked and wanted to refuse, but when they saw Brother Cheng and his wife accepting it with a smile, they couldn't refuse anymore and had to accept it.
Mother Cheng finally reacted and felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have given the child New Year's money in front of the Lin family. After all, the Lin family was polite and always exchanged gifts. However, the Lin family only had one child, while the Cheng family had four. If they really did this, the Lin family would be at a disadvantage.
After everyone chatted for a while, the families of the eldest and second brothers Cheng stood up to say goodbye. Mother Cheng knew that they were going to visit the elders in the village to pay New Year's greetings according to the rules, so she did not keep them.
As soon as the two of them left, Cheng's mother said to Cheng Maixiang, "You and Xiaolin go for a walk in the village. Qingwan and I will stay at home to talk and receive people who come to pay New Year's greetings."
Cheng's mother was of a very high seniority in the village, and Cheng Maixiang and her two siblings were also of high seniority. According to the rules of Shuangshui Village, she only needed to visit a few elders to wish them a happy new year. It took her and Lin Jiayu less than an hour to visit all the families they were going to visit.
At this time, there were a lot of people coming and going in the village, and the snow on the road was pressed harder and harder. There was ice in many places, making it very slippery to walk on.
Cheng Maixiang was inspired on a whim, hid on the ground, pulled Lin Jiayu with both hands, and asked him to take her to skate on the ice. Lin Jiayu pulled her up without saying a word and started running.
Cheng Maixiang laughed so happily that she seemed to be flying in the air. The two of them played for more than ten minutes before Lin Jiayu pulled her up from the ground.
Lin Jiayu gently stroked her blushing face, sighed and said, "Do you miss me?"
The two of them had only been apart for three or four days, but they felt like they had been apart for three or four years. Cheng Maixiang had wanted to tease him, but seeing the anticipation on his face, she blurted out the truth, "Of course I do."
Lin Jiayu looked at her with a smile. "Now I'm counting the days. I can't wait for you to graduate so we can get married. This way we won't be separated from each other all the time. We're not as good as Qiaomai and Yingying."
The two of them just stood there quietly, looking at each other.
The snowflakes from the sky slowly fell down again, swirling around the two of them and landing on their bodies.
Lin Jiayu held Cheng Maixiang's hand tightly, intertwining their fingers. His warm palm warmed her somewhat cold hand, making her feel warm in her heart.
Suddenly, he turned around and took her hand and walked slowly in the direction they came from. Cheng Maixiang followed behind him, taking one step forward and one step back. Looking at his tall and straight back, her heart inexplicably filled with joy.
