Chapter 199 I Like You So Much That Everyone Knows
As the Spring Festival approaches, there is another snowfall in the twelfth lunar month.
Snowflakes were dancing and falling outside the window. In less than half a day, the sky and the earth were covered in silver. The red lanterns hung by the municipal government became an embellishment in the snow, looking particularly enchanting.
Jiang Qin had been strolling with the young rich woman recently and felt a little tired, so he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and planned to take a nap.
However, before he even saw Zhou Gong, he was pulled up by his parents to prepare for a thorough cleaning to welcome the New Year.
Jiang Qin was responsible for all the tidying up of the living room, while Jiang Zhenghong was responsible for the tidying up of the bedroom and bathroom.
Ms. Yuan Youqin also has her own task, which is to prepare dumplings from New Year’s Eve to the second day of the New Year.
"Jiang Qin, please find me a daughter-in-law after school starts. I don't have to make dumplings by myself until dark."
"Why go to all that trouble? How about this? I'll tighten my belt and eat two fewer bowls of food in the future." Jiang Qin was very smart.
Yuan Youqin was so angry that she threw her rolling pin: "You'd better not eat even one bowl!"
"Why are you angry when you're talking? I'm only eighteen years old. Aren't you rushing me too early?"
"I don't care. I just want a daughter-in-law. Look, every Chinese New Year I have to prepare dumplings for the whole family by myself. At least enough for three days. Do you think this job is easy?"
There is a custom in Jeju that no one is allowed to use a knife from New Year’s Eve to the third day of the New Year. During these three days, dumplings are both the staple food and the dish, and can be said to be very important.
If there are many people in the family, it will take a whole day just to make dumplings.
Ms. Yuan Youqin’s hands get sore from making dumplings every year, and at times like this, she especially misses her daughter-in-law.
When Jiang Qin was in high school, this idea was unrealistic. But now that she is in college, she wants more and more to have someone who can make dumplings with her. Even if she doesn’t know how to make dumplings, just having someone to talk to her makes her happy.
Jiang Qin pursed his lips, worked diligently, and mopped the floor until it was smooth and slippery, but he refused to respond in order to avoid further trouble.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the neighbor opposite came over to visit, holding a fat baby in his arms and with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Youqin, making dumplings by yourself?"
"Sister Li, why are you here?"
"My oldest grandson was crying at home. I had no choice but to carry him out for a walk. He would stop crying when he saw people."
Neighbor Aunt Li kept shouting "Oh oh oh", making her little grandson in her arms so happy that his saliva was overflowing from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Youqin felt complicated and even glared at Jiang Qin several times.
Jiang Qin understood instantly and thought to himself, no wonder his mother kept talking about her daughter-in-law all the time, it turned out that the root of the trouble was the one next door.
That's right, with my mother's temper, she must be resentful when people come to her house to show off every day. Otherwise, she wouldn't have urged me to fall in love since my freshman year.
"Jiang Qin, you didn't bring your girlfriend home for the New Year?"
"No, Auntie, I'm not good at speaking and can't find it." Jiang Qin looked humble.
Aunt Li pouted: "Look at you, you went to school but didn't bring a wife back. Your mother can only make dumplings by herself during the New Year. How tiring it is."
"But I think my mother has worked hard all year, so it would be nice to let her have a peaceful year. If she brings back someone who is so annoying, it would be better not to bring her back. Don't you agree?"
“…”
All the residents in Jiang Qin's building knew that Sister Li next door and her daughter-in-law did not get along. They fought all day long and could even quarrel all night over trivial matters.
But because she had just given birth to her eldest grandson, Sister Li didn't dare to say anything. She was so angry in the second half of this year that she almost fell ill.
Jiang Qin's words really hit home.
So Aunt Li left with an awkward smile not long after staying, leaving Jiang Qin, who had been as good as anyone in his life, with a happy face.
"Your daughter-in-law, Aunt Li, is really a powerful character. She never repeats herself when scolding people. You must find a more obedient one in the future. I, your mother, am not good at quarreling."
After closing the door, Yuan Youqin couldn't help but say, "Without a daughter-in-law, there will be no quarrels. All problems will be solved from the root!"
Jiang Qin said while holding the mop in his hand.
"Jiang Qin, if you keep talking nonsense, get out of the street and celebrate the New Year."
Yuan Youqin hated people saying such depressing things during the New Year.
"Don't worry, Mom. We won't quarrel."
Jiang Qin answered casually. He didn't know why, but he was inexplicably confident.
In the blink of an eye, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month arrived.
The temple fair lasted until the end, and the mutton soup restaurant's business was very effective. Many customers said the soup was good after drinking it, and some even took a special look at the billboards to see if there was a branch closer to their homes.
As the old saying goes, even the best wine needs to be known within a bush. This wave of joining in the fun can be regarded as sending the fragrance of the wine out.
Jiang Qin only went to check the situation on the first day and did not go again in the following days.
After all, whether or not customers can be attracted depends on the taste, not on who is watching the stall. He is not a human signboard, so there is little difference between going and not going.
But without the help of his uncle and aunt, Yang Shuan felt that the temple fair these days was much less fun and was completely different from the first day.
But he was not bored, because many old classmates came to his stall to drink mutton soup, and then pretended to be friendly and asked whether Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu were in love.
Yang Shuan said that I had taken all the New Year's money, how could it not be true? Therefore, with eyewitnesses and witnesses, this rumor became the truth, causing a great shock to the entire high school circle.
The cold moonlight of Chengnan High School and the radiant angel girl are really in love.
Thinking of this, many people suffered from insomnia late at night, and some even changed the background music of their QQ space to A-du's "He Must Love You Very Much".
I should be under the car I shouldn't be in the car I see how sweet you are Yang Shuan took out his phone and shared the number of casualties today with Jiang Qin.
"Uncle, seven or eight people came today and asked if you and aunt are in love."
Jiang Qin was reading a book with the little rich lady in Jeju Library at that time. When he was bored, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. After reading, he couldn't help but look up at the little rich lady.
When he was in high school, he had never seen a lot of people gathering around Feng Nanshu.
But that's not because she's not popular, it's just because she's too hard to approach.
But after watching countless boys shouting in their social media that their dreams were shattered, Jiang Qin realized more clearly how holy and perfect the name Feng Nanshu was to the boys in the south of the city, and he also realized more clearly how great the charm of the young rich woman was.
Maybe in everyone's heart, no one is worthy of such a girl.
"Um?"
"Which bastard typed my name into Jiangqin's grass!"
Jiang Qin was so angry that he reached out, peeled a pistachio, and fed it to the rich woman, with a little bit of her saliva on his fingertips.
"Jiang Qin, eat more." Feng Nanshu opened her rosy little mouth and waited for him to feed her.
"If you eat another one, I won't let you eat it anymore. My hands are hurting from peeling them."
"Take the last three."
Jiang Qin had no choice but to peel three more and feed them to her, wiping the corner of her mouth.
Since then, most of the small stores in Jeju have begun to suspend business, and only the markets in towns and villages and large shopping malls holding events are becoming more and more lively.
Promotional vehicles with colorful balloons hanging on them were running back and forth on the central street, with advertisements for big discounts at certain places on them, attracting many people to join in the fun.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, looking at the advertising vehicles outside the window, Jiang Qin suddenly got inspired and took his wife to buy a bunch of New Year's goods.
Some are for parents, some are for grandparents, and some are for uncles, aunts, and uncles.
After a lot of selection, the two carts were gradually filled up.
As luck would have it, on the way to the cashier counter, Jiang Qin met Chu Siqi and Wang Huiru.
Jeju is a small place with only one big shopping mall, so it’s not surprising to meet old classmates.
The four people looked at each other in an awkward atmosphere until Wang Huiru said, "Long time no see," and the deadlock was slightly resolved.
"There's a class party on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Jiang Qin, do you want to go?"
"Let's talk about it later. We'll go when we have the chance."
"All right."
"Um."
Jiang Qin took Feng Nanshu to the cashier counter. After they had only taken a few steps, the rich young woman put her hand into his pocket.
Seeing this scene, Wang Huiru felt a little emotional.
Feng Nanshu is so beautiful, her delicate facial features are flawless.
Jiang Qin is equally dazzling and they match well together.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look back at Chu Siqi, and found that her best friend was staring at the two of them in a daze, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
She thought her best friend was upset again and was about to say something to persuade her, but she saw Chu Siqi take out a milk tea card from her bag, and tremblingly held it in front of her, comparing the two silhouettes on the milk tea card with the back in front of her.
"It turns out that the two people on this milk tea card are them..."
Wang Huiru was also surprised: "Really? What's going on?"
Chu Siqi shook her head, holding the milk tea card in her hand, with a complicated expression.
Everyone in Linchuan University knows that Xitian and Zhihu are strategic partners, but not many people know that the owner of this milk tea shop is Feng Nanshu.
Why? Because it's a trade secret.
If this matter were to become public, wouldn't the previous hype about advertising fees be exposed?
Everyone knows that Feng Nanshu is the recognized lady boss of 208. Using the lady boss's milk tea shop to hype the boss's advertising fees is purely self-boasting.
Therefore, Chu Siqi did not think about who these two characters were, but just felt that Yishu and the other person on the card were particularly touching.
But until just now, when the scene of Feng Nanshu and Jiang Qin walking side by side gave her a very familiar sense of déjà vu, she realized what the pattern on this milk tea card meant.
It turned out that Jiang Qin's love had been secretly so dazzling that everyone knew about it.
No one else can be this romantic except him.
What on earth did I miss?
Chu Siqi's face turned pale, and the huge emptiness in her heart became even emptier.
Brother Meng, can you make it into the top 20 for monthly votes? (End of this chapter)
