Chapter 51(1/2)
On New Year's Eve, I went to my grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings as usual. The two aunts arrived early and were helping in the kitchen. Zhou's mother rolled up her sleeves and arranged the dishes and chopsticks outside. Not long after, other uncles and aunts also arrived and sat together to chat. The private topics accumulated last year were finished on New Year's Day. In just over a month, how could there be time for new things to grow? So I talked about current affairs.
Xiao Zhou took on the role of the King of Children without hesitation and invited his younger brothers and sisters to eat.
The little cousin quietly pulled her aside and proudly took out the final transcript - Mathematics was strikingly 92 points.
Xiao Zhou took out a handful of candy from his pocket: "Reward you!"
The little cousin said disgustedly: "Isn't this the candy from grandma's house?"
Xiao Zhou said with confidence: "Didn't grandma's candy be bought from the store? I also bought it from the store, and the supply is the same!"
...
The little cousin frowned and took the candy thoughtfully.
At dinner, Xiao Zhou was peeling crabs when his cousin suddenly got his arm beaten by his cousin. The crab legs jumped to the turntable and turned all the way to his grandma. Grandma joked: "Oh, six days are so filial. You have to leave such good crab legs for grandma to eat."
Others laughed.
Xiao Zhou said helplessly: "Grandma, I changed my name, now I'm Zhou Jingjing."
Grandma said: "Jingjing calls too many people, it's better to remember six days!" Using the authority of the parents, she maintained the reputation of "Saturday" as the eldest granddaughter within the family.
Dad Zhou was happy: "My naming skills are still OK!"
The brothers and sisters nodded in appreciation.
Xiao Zhou: "..." I was so angry, but I couldn't show it. It really made people feel good, angry, angry!
The little cousin handed over a crab leg timidly.
Xiao Zhou accepted the apology without any hesitation: "Why are you hitting me?"
The little cousin said, "I figured it out. Grandma's candy belongs to everyone. If you use it as a reward, it will be... to make money from nothing."
Xiao Zhou said: "You little white wolf."
"snort!"
Xiao Zhou ate the crab legs, wiped his hands, and sent her a WeChat red envelope of 6.66.
The little cousin was immediately satisfied.
Xiao Zhou felt that he could not favor one and the other, so he simply set up a small group for his younger brothers and sisters to grab red envelopes. Although the amount of the red envelope was small, he couldn't stand many monks. He rushed to the scene and his WeChat wallet became deflated.
She stopped and was about to withdraw from the world, but Mr. Jiang came with a large wave of red envelopes.
30 red envelopes of 200 yuan...
I don’t know how long Mr. Jiang has posted it, but she has collected it for a long time anyway.
The little cousin looked at the side: "Sister, who sent you a red envelope? Will the boss give you a year-end bonus?"
Chairman Jiang seems to be the boss, but... she wants to say this more: "Your future cousin." After confirming the time for the parents of both parties to meet, their future seems to be... traceable.
The little cousin covered her mouth in surprise: "Sister, how did you do it?"
“This is charm.”
"Puppy" is online: "What kind of person is my brother-in-law?"
Xiao Zhou tried his best to control the corner of his mouth: "Handsome, elegant, knowledgeable, rich and talented."
The little cousin was silent for a long time: "Sister, can you introduce your charm in detail? I may be too young to see."
Xiao Zhou: “…”
At the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala, the family sat in front of the TV and watched TV with melon seeds. Xiao Zhou picked a corner and secretly sent a WeChat message to Mr. Jiang: Have you had supper?
Mr. Jiang: It’s eating.
A picture of the New Year’s Eve dinner was posted.
This photo...is clearly a large dinner party.
Xiao Zhou: Wait! My pumpkin cart hasn't arrived yet, don't choose the princess too early!
Jiang Xiuwen: It's too late, I'm already tied up.
Attached picture: A pure black bracelet is exposed on the wrist with distinct joints.
Xiao Zhou: "Hehehehehe..."
The little cousin looked at her cousin who was holding her cell phone and smiling silly.
Grandma's house was over 10 o'clock, and she went home to wash and do it. Then she stayed up until 11 o'clock. The three of Zhou's family stared at each other and continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala. It was almost twelve o'clock, and Zhou's father was shouting that he was hungry. Zhou's mother went to the kitchen to warm up some midnight snacks. The clock of the countdown at 12 o'clock rang. Zhou's father followed in the kitchen and closed the door.
Xiao Zhou hurried on the sofa and pinched his fingers to send a text message to Mr. Jiang.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Jiang! Everything goes well! Wealth is booming! Peace and health!"
"Happy New Year, I'm very happy."
Two text messages are sent and received at the same time - in the first second of the New Year.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Zhou was dressed up by Zhou's mother inside and out. When she put on makeup, she also told her to be mature and dignified. Xiao Zhou was puzzled: "Didn't I try to keep my youthfulness and vitality in the past?"
"When you don't have a boyfriend, of course I hope you will be frozen in age. Now that you have a boyfriend, you need to adjust your style to reflect the charm of being nourished by love."
“…”
Before he arrived at the battlefield, Zhou Ma had already begun strategic deployment.
Xiao Zhou's appearance at his grandmother's house has indeed attracted attention.
My aunt said: "It's really an older person who can wear such mature clothes to support him. My family is too young. What kind of pleated skirts do you have to wear in the middle of winter? You don't look like a worker when you go out. Jingjing is better. You should have dressed up like this long ago. When the man went out for a blind date, he thought he was a living person. He would feel relieved to hand over the house to you in the future."
Zhou Ma smiled: "So your blind date is such a routine, but my Jingjing is not good. She faces media, directors, singers and actors every day... It's too down-to-earth. You can tell that it's not the property management materials when looking at your face and temperament. How can you feel at ease to let her housekeeper?"
My aunt said, "This one doesn't work, that one doesn't work, when will Jingjing get married?"
Finally, I’ve come to this topic!
Zhou Ma's eyes flashed with a flash of light, restraining her excitement and excitement, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm in a hurry too. Unfortunately, I'm not up to this matter alone. I always have to sit down with my future in-laws and discuss it well."
"Ah? Jingjing has a boyfriend? When did she get married? Is it reliable?"
“Isn’t it not yet on New Year’s Day?”
The aunts screamed.
Zhou's mother said: "I have been dating for several months. My child is so honest that I have to understand each other and settle down before taking them home. But that's right. If I just take people at home casually after dating for a month, it would be too unprotective."
My boyfriend, who once took his daughter to date her for a month, showed off his aunt last week's mother's house, had a dark face.
My aunt asked: "What does Jingjing's boyfriend do?"
Zhou Ma said vaguely: "Work in a large group."
"The big group must have a high salary. How much does it cost per month?"
Zhou Ma hesitated. The chat has reached this atmosphere. It is not enough to say low, but it is too high... I feel good about bragging for a while, and I have to make a lie every day, which is also very tired.
Xiao Zhou came out to rescue: "The annual salary is seven digits, not the year-end bonus." According to the standard of the necklace around her neck being Mr. Jiang's monthly salary, she said it was very modest.
The aunts were skeptical: "Are you very old? What position does he have? His salary is so high?"
Xiao Zhou smiled and said, "I am a few years older than me, and I am the presidential assistant of Zhang's Group."
"The president's special assistant? Isn't that an assistant? What kind of assistant has such a high salary? You have also been an assistant yourself, don't you know? Don't be cheated? There are many such people nowadays. You little girls are young and have little experience, and they cheat money and sex."
Xiao Zhou said: "The White House chief of staff is also the president's assistant, but he is hailed as the second most powerful person in Washington."
...
Can't understand.
The aunts decided to give up on this high-end topic.
On the way home, Zhou Ma hummed a song with a roar.
Xiao Zhou lay behind the driver's seat and asked Zhou's father in a low voice: "Why is mom so bad about his relationship with his aunts?"
Zhou's father glanced at Zhou's mother, and when she saw that she didn't respond, he lowered his voice and replied: "Your grandma's family was not in good condition before, and there were many children. When you were a child, your mother was smart, beautiful and sensible, and she was especially popular with adults..."
So being jealous?
Xiao Zhou said: "But I remember that my aunts were fine with me when I was a child."
Zhou's father looked embarrassed, and Zhou's mother took the initiative to say, "That's because I married your father! They all felt that I had no vision, and then they tried their best to find civil servants and wealthy people... and pressed on my head wholeheartedly. Haha."
There is no need to say the result later. Either tolerate or to leave, in the end... every time I go home, my husband is accompanying me, and only Ma Zhou is the only one.
Xiao Zhou: "..." So I was jealous again?
Dad Zhou said happily: "So today should be the happiest and most heartbreaking year your mother has lived in her life." After that, she felt a little sad.
"Nonsense." Zhou's mother rolled her eyes, "at most, the second happiest."
"Which year was the first time I was happy?" Xiao Zhou leaned over to look at her.
Zhou's mother turned her head and looked out the window. After a while, she said proudly: "Of course it was the year when I took your dad back."
No matter what others think, she felt that she had brought the best home at that time.
