Xie Jing thought about Wang Cancan's personality and said, "Then I'll ask her. She really does like the hustle and bustle. There's no rush now. I'll ask her after we eat the dumplings."
After eating dumplings, the old man and the old lady were a little tired. The two old people did not go into the room, but dozed off on the sofa. Yun Lan and Cheng Shuying were also in a corner of the sofa, talking in low voices.
Li Shu watched the scene and said, "In the past, my family didn't have the custom of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year's Eve. At most, we would stay up until this time."
"Ever since you...your parents have stayed up all night every year, and on New Year's Day they go to the temple to pray for your safety and health in a place unknown to them. Rain or shine, they've never missed a single one."
Xie Jing felt sad: "Are they still going to the temple tomorrow?"
"I should go, right? I've been waiting for you to come back for all these years, so I have to go and fulfill my wish." Li Shu smiled: "But you guys are going out to play tomorrow, I think it might be in the afternoon, and you have social engagements at home in the morning. If you have time, why not go with them?"
"Maybe your parents would be happier if you went together."
Zhou Jiyun held Xie Jing's hand and said, "Let's go together. I also want to go to the temple to worship and thank God for sending you to me."
Li Shu hadn't expected that she would just be talking to Xie Jing about going to the temple to fulfill a vow tomorrow when she suddenly heard Zhou Jiyun's confession. Li Shu's eyes twitched, and she thought to herself that she really couldn't understand the thoughts of young people.
She wasn't an eyesore, and leisurely walked to the single sofa with her cup in hand and sat down. It's best to leave the young to their own world.
Xie Jing glanced at him sideways: "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel so regretful and sad."
"I heard that when elders stay up all night, it means cherishing time and caring for the younger ones. And when younger generations stay up all night, it means showing filial piety to their elders and prolonging their parents' lifespans." Xie Jing leaned on Zhou Jiyun's shoulder: "Now I feel that all the years I missed... are so heartbreaking."
Zhou Jiyun touched her hair and said, "We will have a lot of time to spend with our elders in the future. You don't know how grateful I am to them. I'm grateful that they never wanted to give up and persisted all these years."
"I am also relieved that my Jingjing is not without love. She just feels particularly regretful that she didn't receive their love."
Xie Jing's nose turned sour after hearing what he said: "Well, it's really a pity. I'm going to go talk to Mom for a few words."
Zhou Jiyun let go of her hand: "Go, I'll wait for you here."
Seeing the nut plate on the table, Xie Jing went over with the fruit plate. Cheng Shuying didn't expect Xie Jing to come to her, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Xie Jing wasn't one to hide things: "Aunt said you and Dad would go to the temple to fulfill your vows every New Year's Day. Let's go together tomorrow."
Cheng Shuying was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled: "Okay, aren't we going to play with Yunxu and the others?"
Xie Jing also smiled: "We won't be together all day long."
Cheng Shuying tucked Xie Jing's messy hair behind her ears. When she saw the mark on Xie Jing's neck, her hand paused and she helped Xie Jing to straighten her hair. "Then we'll call you tomorrow when we leave, and we'll all meet up at the temple."
"Young people can go to the temple to worship and calm their minds."
Xie Jing nodded: "Yes, I am an atheist, but at this moment, I suddenly want to worship seriously."
Cheng Shuying was very sensitive to tears, and Xie Jing's words touched her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Okay, then let's go to the temple tomorrow and pray properly. I'll have to burn a few more incense sticks. I finally got my Xixi back."
Xie Jing looked at her smile, and suddenly her mind flashed back to what Zhou Jida had said. After hearing the news of her passing, Cheng Shuying and Yun Lan also passed away shortly thereafter.
Thinking of this, Xie Jing took the initiative to lean on Cheng Shuying's shoulder: "It's great to have a mother."
Yun Lan peeled a handful of macadamia nuts and pushed them in front of Xie Jing: "I'm just thinking about your mom. Isn't it good to have a dad?"
"Okay, all good." Xie Jing smiled. "Thank you, Dad. How did you know I like macadamia nuts the most?"
Yun Lan chuckled: "Your mother likes it too. You are mother and daughter, so your preferences should not be much different."
Xie Jing blinked: "Dad always teases me and Jiyun, and now I'm sitting in front of you, and he's showing off to my face."
Cheng Shuying was amused: "Your dad has no problem with Jiyun, he just can't bear to part with you. In our opinion, you are still too young to get married so suddenly, we are not mentally prepared."
Xie Jing smiled and said, "It's not strange to get married when you meet the right person. Mom and Dad, keep watching TV. I'm going to look for Jiyun. He's alone there and looks lonely."
Yun Lan curled his lips: "Xiao Xu is here, how can he be lonely?"
Before he could finish his words, Cheng Shuying pushed him. Yun Lan changed his tone and said, "Okay, go ahead. We're clearly in the same living room, but you two are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl separated by two banks."
Xie Jing smiled at Yun Lan, rubbed her cheek against Cheng Shuying's shoulder again, and then hurried to Zhou Jiyun. Anyway, looking at Zhou Jiyun sitting there, even though Yun Xu was sitting next to him, Xie Jing felt that Zhou Jiyun was particularly lonely.
Well, in her heart, the image of Zhou Jiyun as a poor little boy has been deeply rooted, and no one else can change it.
Zhou Jiyun was peeling melon seeds, and a handful of them were already piled in the fruit bowl in front of him. Yun Xu sent a few messages and looked up to see the melon seeds, and he couldn't help but feel a little eager.
Zhou Jiyun picked up the tea tray: "This is for Jingjing. Brother Xu needs to support himself."
Yun Xu twisted his lips and grabbed a handful of pistachios as if to vent his anger: "Yes, I earn my own living."
After Xie Jing came over, Zhou Jiyun's smile became much more sincere. He pushed the tea tray in front of Xie Jing and said, "Do you like the cream flavor? Try it. We also have other flavors here. I can peel the one you like for you."
Xie Jing looked at the melon seeds in front of her, then at Zhou Jiyun, and finally her eyes fell on the various nuts: "I feel like you are raising me like a pig."
"From the time you rested until now, you have been feeding me all the time."
Zhou Jiyun couldn't help but smile when he thought about it: "Chinese New Year is mainly about eating and drinking. Besides, we don't spend much time together normally..."
Yun Xu couldn't stand it any longer: "As soon as you get off work, you two are inseparable. How can you say you don't spend enough time together? Do you have to be together all the time? Don't you have any private space?"
Zhou Jiyun thought about it and smiled: "If it were possible, I would like to be with Jingjing all the time, but unfortunately we both have our own work to do."
Yun Xu leaned back on the chair and sighed, "A top-notch love brain, sister. How did you meet someone like that?"
Xie Jing smiled and said, "It's a gift from God."
Zhou Jiyun raised his lips as he listened. Xie Jing was right to say it was a gift from God. Not everyone can start over again. His rebirth was the greatest opportunity given by God.
