Chapter 222 Happy New Year! Xiaodouzi!
Chapter 222 Happy New Year! Xiaodouzi!
Soon, Zhou Qinglang and Xiao Kaile followed Liu's mother back home.
When Mr. Liu saw the two of them, his eyes widened.
Wow, these two guys look so energetic!
In fact, Liu's mother had a similar reaction.
Just now, in front of so many people, she tried her best to hide her inner excitement.
Now that I'm home, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Come on, drink some brown sugar water to warm yourself up."
Mother Liu smiled and held two enamel cups in her hands, saying:
"Girl Lin and Yan'er are busy in the kitchen. You guys take a seat first and we'll have dinner later!"
"Thank you, auntie!" Zhou Qinglang and Xiao Kaile took it with a smile.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu looked at the two young people carefully and liked them more and more.
The couple asked about their situation again and found out that they were all researchers at the research institute, which made them even more satisfied.
At the dinner table, Zhou Qinglang behaved politely and Xiao Kaile was cheerful and talkative.
After the meal, both Liu's father and mother had accepted the identities of these two men as their sons-in-law.
After dinner, Zhou Qinglang and Xiao Kaile both rushed to wash the dishes, but were both rejected by Liu's mother.
"You are guests at our house, how can we ask you to work? Just sit down and warm yourself by the fire!"
Seeing Xiao Kaile coming back dejectedly, Liu Yaner covered her mouth and laughed:
"Why didn't I realize you were so diligent before? You really like to show off!"
Xiao Kaile looked at her and grinned: "Isn't this for you?"
Liu Yan'er's face suddenly turned red: "Humph...slippery tongue."
Seeing the interaction between the two, Lin Xiaodou couldn't help laughing.
These two people are enemies. They always quarrel when they are together, but they develop feelings for each other during the quarrel. It's really amazing.
After sitting for a while, Zhou Qinglang asked Lin Xiaodou to take him for a walk towards the wooden house in the back mountain.
"I haven't been there for a long time. I was blind before and I don't know what the area looks like."
All in all, he and Lin Yatou have known each other for almost two and a half years.
I remember that when they first met, they were wary of each other, and it was the little golden monkey who acted as a matchmaker, which helped to ease their relationship.
Miss Lin had said before that she had let the little golden monkey run free in the forest, and she didn’t know if it was there now.
Hearing Zhou Qinglang's question, Lin Xiaodou smiled:
"It should still be there. It likes the cabin in the back hill very much and probably goes there from time to time."
Zhou Qinglang's eyes flashed with joy: "I hope to see it."
The two chatted as they walked towards the wooden house in the back mountain, and met villagers and several educated youth on the way.
These people stopped and talked in low voices out of curiosity.
"Comrade Lin is beautiful, and the man next to her is also very handsome. These two are really a match made in heaven!"
"Who said it wasn't? I'm so envious. If I had a partner as good-looking as him, I'd be so happy!"
Lin Xiaodou and Zhou Qinglang had not walked far and obviously heard these words as well.
Both of them blushed slightly.
Especially Zhou Qinglang.
There was tenderness in her sparkling eyes, and the look she gave Lin Xiaodou was full of emotion.
Lin Xiaodou naturally felt his gaze, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
It wasn't until I reached the wooden house at the back of the mountain that I felt a little relieved.
"Look, this area has a nice environment."
Lin Xiaodou took Zhou Qinglang for a walk around the wooden house in the back mountain.
She never mentioned the treasure in the cellar, so Zhou Qinglang naturally wouldn't mention it either.
In his opinion, those treasures were obtained accidentally and did not need to be handed in as part of a mission, so he had the right to operate it at the beginning.
Now that it has been given to Lin Xiaodou, the owner of that thing becomes her.
She didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't ask.
While Zhou Qinglang was in the front yard, Lin Xiaodou said he wanted to go to the room to get something.
After entering the room, Lin Xiaodou released Xiao Jinsi from the space.
Upon learning that her former owner Zhou Qinglang was there, Xiao Jinsi was extremely excited and kept wanting to see him.
Lin Xiaodou asked it to climb up the beam and then go around to the front yard from the other side, and the little guy did it immediately.
After a while, Lin Xiaodou in the room heard a surprised sound from the front yard.
"Little rascal! Is that you? Long time no see, you've gained a lot of weight!"
Reunion after a long separation.
Zhou Qinglang and the little golden monkey were very excited, and they hugged each other tightly.
Lin Xiaodou was standing not far away and did not go forward to disturb them.
After reminiscing about the past, the little golden monkey reluctantly returned to the forest.
Zhou Qinglang felt relieved when he saw that it was doing well.
In the afternoon, Zhou Qinglang and Xiao Kaileyao were about to go back, and Father Liu spoke to them enthusiastically:
"Come back next time! Then have a couple of drinks with me!"
After everyone left, Liu Yaner blushed with embarrassment:
"Dad... Xiaodouzi and I haven't even started dating anyone yet, you are too impatient!"
Father Liu: "Why are you so anxious? These two guys are too good. If you don't settle them down soon, you'll cry if they run away!"
"Are you still worried that your daughter won't be able to find a partner?" Liu Yan'er snorted:
"If he really got kidnapped by someone, then it means we are not destined to be together. I can still find someone better!"
Although Xiao Kaile is a good guy, she is not bad either.
Seeing their daughter so confident, Liu's father and mother looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so they don’t have to worry about it.
Time flies, and soon it is the Spring Festival.
Brother Liu also came back from working in town.
He was so happy to see his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time that he kept surrounding her and asking about her well-being.
During the last Spring Festival, there were only three people in Lao Liu's family.
This time with the addition of Lin Xiaodou and Liu Yaner, the dinner became much more lively, and there was constant laughter and joy at the dinner table.
In your province, people usually have the New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon.
After dinner, the family sat in the main room, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
Wait until the evening.
Zhou Qinglang, Xiao Kaile, and Zhu Damei came to wish everyone a happy new year, bearing gifts.
"Happy New Year! Uncle and Aunt!"
"Hey hey! Happy New Year!"
Mr. and Mrs. Liu stood up with smiles on their faces and quickly welcomed the person into the house.
After some greetings, it was getting dark.
Xiao Kaile suggested: "We bought several kinds of firecrackers from the county department store. Now that it's dark, let's play with them together!"
Liu Yaner clapped her hands happily: "Great! I love setting off firecrackers the most!"
Brother Liu looked a little jealous. His sister didn't even give him a smile when he came back these two days.
Ever since this boy came, the smile on my sister's face has never faded.
Oh, it’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
If he hadn't treated his sister like that, maybe things would have been different...
No one noticed Brother Liu's lost expression, and they all ran out to set off firecrackers.
There were not many types of firecrackers in the 1970s, including the Smashing Firecrackers, the Red Earth Firecrackers, the Sky Monkey Firecrackers, and the Ertijiao Firecrackers.
Although there are few types, they are very popular, especially among children.
Soon, a large group of children and some curious villagers gathered in front of Lao Liu's house.
Zhou Qinglang and Xiao Kaile went to the county department store early in the morning and bought a lot of firecrackers, two large boxes in total.
Looking at the children's eager eyes, they gave some to each of them.
The little kids holding the firecrackers showed their happy teeth.
The onlookers praised Lao Liu's son-in-law for being so generous.
The team leader - Mr. and Mrs. Liu - had beaming faces and were extremely happy.
“Pah, pah, pah!”
"Hahaha!"
The sound of firecrackers and children's laughter intertwined together.
On this festive New Year's Eve, everyone is immersed in an atmosphere of happiness and joy.
"Happy New Year! Zhou Qinglang!"
Lin Xiaodou smiled brightly at Zhou Qinglang.
"Happy New Year, Bean!"
Zhou Qinglang smiled happily, and the curve of his lips did not disappear for a long time...
