Jian Shu took a sip of the dumpling soup and explained, "This is the New Year's money given by Uncle Zhao and the others. Just keep it."
"New Year's money?" Gu Mingjing was a little surprised.
He hadn't received any New Year's money since he started college, but he never expected that he would receive it again after so many years.
"Hey, it seems that getting married is a good thing. I'm already this old, and I can still get lucky money."
Jian Shu glanced at him sideways, "Don't give me that. If someone else were here today, Uncle Zhao and the others would give them what they deserved."
Considering the relationship between Gu Zhan and Zhao Mingze, even if they are not engaged, they will still give the New Year's money today.
"I'm telling the truth. If I didn't want to get married, I wouldn't be here." Gu Mingjing said with a smile.
"That's true." Jian Shu thought about it and realized that it was true.
"So, I really should have a share of your New Year's money. How about treating me to a nice meal?"
Jianshu felt embarrassed to confiscate the New Year's money given by Zhao Mingze, so he could only find a way to make some of it.
Gu Mingjing: “…”
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jianshu provoked him again: "Rui Rui has already promised to buy two bottles of soda for each of us, you won't be stingy, right?"
"...How could that be?" Gu Mingjing said with gritted teeth.
"You agreed!" Jian Shu said happily, "That's perfect. Let's go to a restaurant for lunch today. You treat us, and Ruirui can buy us two bottles of soda. Then we'll have everything we need. After dinner, we can go to the movies. How about you buy us the movie tickets as well?"
Gu Mingjing: "..." They really are trying every possible way to get money out of him. The twenty yuan is gone before he can even hold it warm.
He got up and went to his room, took out the red envelope from under his pillow and handed it to Jianshu, saying righteously, "Shushu, you are the one who manages the money in our family. This money should be given to you."
Anyway, he can't keep it in his hands, so it's better to hand it over as soon as possible to avoid her worrying about it.
"This is not good. This is the New Year's money given to you by Uncle Zhao and others. How can you let me take it?" Jian Shu pretended to refuse, but his hand honestly pinched a corner of the red envelope.
Gu Mingjing was speechless after seeing this. Why don’t you take your hand away before saying this?
Zhao Yueling, who was eating silently at the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but cover her forehead with her hands. She just couldn't bear to watch it.
Sister Shu, this is really... too hypocritical.
Both of them were very familiar with the unspoken rules of social interaction, and no one spoke up to expose them, but there was a child present.
As we all know, children are always very honest.
Seeing Jian Shu saying that he didn't want it but holding the red envelope in his hand, Zhao Tianrui blinked and said, "Shu... wuwu——"
As soon as he uttered a word, Zhao Yueling, who noticed something was wrong, covered his mouth.
"What does Ruirui want to say?" Jianshu asked with a gentle smile on his face, but it concealed murderous intent.
Zhao Yueling covered Zhao Tianrui's mouth and answered for him: "He wanted to say that he was full and wanted to play games."
"Yeah?"
"That's right, Ruirui, do you want to play games? Sister will accompany you to play marbles, okay?" Zhao Yueling asked, and then carefully let go of her hand, but the movement was very slow, and she was ready to cover it again at any time.
Fortunately, the temptation of marbles was great, and Zhao Tianrui quickly forgot about the previous things. He nodded happily and said, "Sister, Ruirui wants to play marbles!"
Ever since he got his new favorite, marbles, he had forgotten all about cars and frogs.
Every day I would run out with a bag of marbles to play with my friends in the compound. I would be happy if I won and sad if I lost.
Children's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are just that simple.
Zhao Yueling put down her chopsticks, took his hand and said, "Sister, Second Brother Gu, Ruirui and I are full. We're going to take him out to play first. You guys eat slowly."
Jian Shu didn't make it difficult and nodded, "Go play, but don't run out. It's cold outside, just play at home. I'll take you out for lunch at noon, and then we'll go to the movies in the afternoon."
Although he had received the twenty yuan, Jianshu had no intention of changing his previous idea. During the Chinese New Year, it would be nice to take the two children out to play and buy some delicious and fun things.
Seeing the two children enter the room, Jianshu's gaze fell on the red envelope again, or rather, the focus was on Gu Mingjing's fingers holding the red envelope.
Gu Mingjing: “…” After a moment of silence, he was reluctant to let go.
His New Year's money hasn't even warmed up yet.
I am so sad inside, but I dare not show it on my face. Men who want to get married are so miserable.
Jianshu opened the red envelope with a smile, and inside were also two big unity notes.
She fanned the money in the air and said proudly, "Just tell me what you want to eat or drink this afternoon, and I'll pay for it!"
Gu Mingjing was crying in his heart, but he had to express gratitude on his face.
His New Year's money...
No, he has to eat more at noon, at least he has to eat something, otherwise he will suffer a great loss.
Jianshu didn't know that Gu Mingjing had already planned to have a big meal, so he picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Seeing that he didn't move, he called out, "Eat, or the dumplings will get cold."
Gu Mingjing looked at the two dumplings left in the bowl, ate them one by one, and put down his chopsticks. "I'm full."
"???" Several question marks appeared above Jian Shu's head, "Are you full?"
It's just one bowl, and there aren't that many in it. Normally, the number would have to be at least double.
She touched his forehead with some concern, "Are you feeling unwell?" Otherwise, why did you eat so little today?
Gu Mingjing: I feel sad.
But don't say, "I'm fine, I'm just not hungry right now."
In fact, he was planning to save his stomach for a good meal at noon.
Jian Shu, however, was thinking in the wrong direction. He said with a straight face, "It must be because you were drunk yesterday and haven't fully recovered yet. Look, I told you to drink less but you didn't listen. Now you can't even eat."
"...Yes, yes, I will pay attention next time." Gu Mingjing said helplessly.
"Okay, if you can't eat anymore, just don't eat anymore. Don't force yourself. I've almost finished eating too. You can clean up the dishes. It's a good opportunity to exercise and help digestion." Jianshu waved his hand and quickly stuffed the few dumplings left in the bowl into his mouth.
Then he stood up and walked around the living room to digest his food.
After wandering around for a while, I felt lazy and curled up on the sofa without wanting to move.
