"I like being with you, too," Xie Jing touched Zhou Jiyun's cheek, "Okay, don't be sad for your grandparents. They don't love you, but I do."
Zhou Jiyun hummed, hugged Xie Jing's waist and turned over. Xie Jing knew that he was in a bad mood but didn't say anything: "Speaking of which, I have used the name Xie Jing for more than 20 years. Now I have to change it suddenly. I am still a little uncomfortable."
Zhou Jiyun knew she was looking for a topic to divert his attention, so he also cooperated and changed the subject: "So, what do you like others to call you? Xie Jing or Yun Xi?"
"Actually, calling her Xixi is also nice."
Xie Jing thought for a moment and said, "I'm more used to being called Jingjing. As for my full name, it's up to you. Yunxi is me, and Xie Jing is also me. The name is just a nickname."
Zhou Jiyun: "I'm also more accustomed to calling her Jingjing."
Xie Jing patted his chest and said, "Get up. Dinner will be served soon. Mom and Dad said we'll have dinner in half an hour. We can't really keep them waiting for us."
Zhou Jiyun sat up and said, "It's quite novel when I think about it. I haven't celebrated the New Year so lively in many years."
Xie Jing laughed: "It will be more lively in the future. Don't you like lively things?"
Zhou Jiyun fell into reminiscence: "Actually it's not so bad. I remember when my parents were still alive, the New Year was still very lively. At that time, many people came to our house to pay New Year's greetings, and my parents would take me to visit relatives and friends."
"But after their accident, it suddenly became quiet."
Xie Jing held his hand and said, "It's okay. It will get more lively in the future. If you like the hustle and bustle, we can stay in the compound more often. If you like quiet, we can live in our own house."
Zhou Jiyun's nose felt sour: "Well, as long as you are here, I can go anywhere."
Yun Lan couldn't help but twitch his eyes as he watched the two of them descend the stairs, still holding hands. He thought he was already two-faced enough, but his son-in-law, who had changed his ways, was so bad.
Yun Lan was used to playing the role of pitiful and innocent in front of his daughter. He had heard of the term "green tea" before. He thought it was only for girls, but when he saw Zhou Jiyun knew it, Yun Lan realized that he was ignorant.
But Xie Jing just fell for it, so what could Yun Lan do? He could only accept it. Zhou Jiyun was clearly the queen, so why was she acting like a concubine?
The New Year's Eve dinner was lively. The old man, holding up his teacup, spoke first, "Today is our family reunion dinner. There are so many things to be happy about this year. First of all, Jingjing finally came home, and brought back such an outstanding grandson-in-law. This is a great joy for our Yun family."
Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun hurriedly raised their glasses and clinked them with the old man's. "Thank you, Grandpa, for accepting Jiyun and me completely. We all know that our personalities aren't the best, and I'm not the one who knows how to handle things. It's all because of the elders who tolerate us."
The old lady scolded: "Nonsense, I think you and Jiyun are both very good, there is nothing wrong with you."
Xie Jing smiled and waited patiently for the old man to continue, "Another thing is that Ah Zhao has finally found his ideal life partner and is about to enter a new chapter in his life. I also wish you both happiness and joy."
Zhu Li said generously: "Thank you, Grandpa. I will be fine with A Zhao."
"Good," the old man applauded loudly, "A Zhao, it's really not easy to meet someone who wholeheartedly supports your work these days. You have to cherish it."
Yun Zhao stood up and clinked glasses with the old man: "I know, don't worry, Grandpa."
The old man smiled and took a sip of tea: "Okay, it's a pity that your father didn't come back on this day of reunion. It's a bit regrettable after all."
Yun Xu interjected, "The flaws don't outweigh the merits. This is already very good."
The old man looked at him and said, "Today is a family reunion. I won't say more. Xiaoxu, A Zhao also has a wife, and your sister Jingjing and Jiyun have such a good relationship. You have to seize the important event in your life."
Yun Xu's scalp tingled: "Hold on tight, I will definitely hold on tight, Grandpa, don't worry."
The old man said nothing more: "Okay, let's eat. There's no need for so many formalities at home. I just hope that our home will always be this lively year after year."
Yun Lan: "Don't worry, Dad. Our home will definitely become more and more lively in the future."
After everyone started eating, Xie Jing picked up a shrimp for Zhou Jiyun. When she looked down again, she found a piece of fish in her bowl. The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
Yun Xu, sitting across from the round table, suddenly lowered his brows when he saw this scene. He had been sitting next to Li Shu today. After all, the whole family, from the old man and the old lady, to Yun Lan and Cheng Shuying, and then to Yun Zhao and Zhu Li, as well as Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun, everyone was in pairs.
Only he and his biological mother Li Shu were left behind.
Unwilling to be abused, Yun Xu simply acted like a filial son. He poured a bowl of soup for Li Shu: "Mom, have some mushroom soup, your favorite."
"Mom, eat ribs."
"mom……"
Li Shu's head hurt from hearing him yelling "mother" all the time. "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Yun Xu chuckled, "There will definitely be a lot of people coming to visit tomorrow. Mom, should I take Jingjing and Jiyun out for a walk? They were in such a hurry when they came to the capital last time that they didn't get to see the city."
After all, he was her own son. As soon as he raised his butt, Li Shu knew what he was going to do. Li Shu just smiled and said, "I have no objection to Jingjing and Jiyun going out to relax, but you have to stay at home."
Yun Xu said with a bitter face: "No way? Love still needs to be found by oneself. I don't like those who try to act as matchmakers. I always feel that they are too utilitarian."
Li Shu glared at him. "You say this every year, but I never see you bring anyone back. What's wrong with someone your family introduced? Look at A-Li and A-Zhao, aren't they pretty good?"
Yun Xu: "It was because A-Li and A-Zhao fell in love first, and then my family gave them a push. Mom, dear mom, can you let me find it myself first? Okay? I really don't want to stay home tomorrow."
"Milk……"
The old lady also felt sorry for Yunxu: "If Xiaoxu wants to go out, then let him go. What if he meets his soulmate after he goes out? Our family really doesn't need a marriage, so it's time to keep a low profile."
"Like Xiaoxu said, the girls who come to my house are excellent, but I really don't like them. They are too utilitarian. I still hope that my children can live a good life, rather than being obsessed with these interests all day long."
"If there is no warmth in marriage, then life is meaningless."
Li Shu thought about it and sighed: "I'm not pushing you to get married. I also hope that you can find someone who cherishes you. If you don't want to stay at home, take Jingjing and Jiyun out for a walk."
Yun Xu was overjoyed: "My mom and grandma are the best. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them."
Zhou Jiyun raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Yun Xu to help him achieve his goal without him saying anything. He shook Xie Jing's hand under the table. Xie Jing glanced at him sideways, obviously understanding Zhou Jiyun's meaning.
Xie Jing couldn't help but smile. She didn't want to socialize either, but now that Yun Xu had helped her to decline, Xie Jing was naturally happy.
