Lin Qiu came to Zhou Xiaotong's house this time, laid out the gifts generously, and bowed to Zhou Zhennan and Mrs. Zhou: "I wish Uncle and Auntie Zhou a happy new year. May the auspicious people be protected by God, and may the home be filled with good fortune and happiness. The poem is like a picture of a good time, and the spirit is high for the coming year."
The monkey also bowed like Lin Qiu, but he couldn't say auspicious words like Lin Qiu. He could only say Happy New Year dryly. He knew what level he was at, and today was Lin Qiu's home court.
Zhou Zhennan listened happily and took out two red envelopes. He had already prepared them, so he just sent Lin Qiu and the others over. This was the first time for Zhou’s mother to meet Lin Qiu. She was a music teacher. The last time she planned to meet Lin Qiu, she happened to be on a business trip for further study. Just missed it.
This time, when I saw Lin Qiu acting generous and decent, with a straight body, polite and handsome, I couldn't help but feel a little better in my heart. It is said that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she becomes.
Lin Qiu let Zhou's mother look at her. He asked Zhou Xiaotong about Zhou's mother's character in advance.
Zhou Xiaotong said at the time: "My mother teaches music. Apart from being a bit mysophobic, I think she is very easy to get along with."
Zhou Xiaotong said it simply, but Lin Qiu couldn't take it lightly. Music students generally had better economic conditions and appearance than him. There was no way he could compare with those people. He can only give his daughter to him by convincing his mother Zhou based on his character.
After some mental construction, Lin Qiu decided not to engage in nonsense, but to directly bring some gifts to express his blessings, and then say New Year greetings.
Sure enough, I got Zhou’s mother right.
"I've heard Xiaotong praise you a long time ago. When I saw you today, you are really good." Zhou's mother nodded and smiled at him, looking a little distant.
This is already the best look in Lin Qiu's heart. As long as he doesn't object, he will win. The monkey didn't know the undercurrent between the two people, but he was just silly and happy. He felt that the people in the Zhou family were very kind and gave him a lot of Xu Fu Ji!
After paying New Year greetings, they sat down and chatted for a while. Lin Qiu saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Uncle and aunt, you guys go about your business first. I'll come over and check on you. I won't disturb you."
Zhou Zhennan nodded and asked Zhou Xiaotong to see them off, just in time for the children to sit together and chat.
Zhou Xiaotong walked out of the door and secretly held Lin Qiu's hand: "It's a long way to come to my house. Your hands are so cold from the cold." Zhou Xiaotong felt sorry for Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu didn't take it seriously: "No matter how far the journey is, it's worth it to me to see you." He pushed Zhou Xiaotong, "You are only wearing a sweater and it's still cold now. Come inside quickly. .”
"We've only had a few words, and you're going to drive me away." Zhou Xiaotong pouted dissatisfiedly.
Monkey watched the two people falling in love with disdain: "I really don't understand why you two are so annoying."
Lin Qiu kicked the monkey: "Go, go, what do you know?"
Zhou Xiaotong saw the two of them playing around and staggered with laughter. The two of them got tired of each other for a while and finally separated.
Monkey was very envious when he saw that Lin Qiu had a girlfriend: "When can I also hold a girl's hand?"
Lin Qiu thought for a moment, and it would happen sooner or later. He remembered that Monkey got married very early in his previous life, and seemed to be from the same village as him.
"There will definitely be one," he said sincerely.
When the monkey heard this, he immediately became excited: "For a handsome person like me, there must be a beautiful and gentle girl who can't help but fall in love with me, hahaha!" The monkey became more and more excited as he talked, and put his hands in his hair. He looked up to the sky and laughed.
When Lin Qiu heard Monkey's words getting more and more outrageous, she couldn't help but hit him: "Girls only like handsome and rich men."
Monkey was stung by this sentence; "Do you think all girls are like you think? I just like people who are not materialistic and simply treat me well." Monkey is very naive and full of illusions about love.
Monkey has never been in love once. It is normal to look forward to the legendary perfect love, but Lin Qiu has worked hard in society. He knows what kind of people girls will find to entrust them to their whole lives. The choices of those girls are not wrong. After all, they will have children when they get married, and a family needs Be responsible for your children.
You can’t even afford your child’s milk powder, right?
But seeing the longing look on Monkey's face, Lin Qiu didn't say much. People still need some hope.
They walked all the way and reached the entrance of the village and found that they were going to the market.
During the Chinese New Year in the past, monkeys would watch others eating meat, and it would be nice to have a few eggs at home. I made a lot of money working outside this year. He walked directly to the butcher shop and waved his hand: "Bring me ten pounds of pork."
Lin Qiu smiled and said: "Nothing promising!"
The monkey retorted: "You had a harder time than me. You couldn't even eat eggs."
Lin Qiu retorted: "Then let me see if the meat looks like a hungry wolf."
"Then don't eat the meat I bought." The monkey started to act recklessly.
The two of them played and joked all the way. When they returned home in the evening, Chen Qingxiu and the monkey mother had already prepared dinner. They had the best New Year ever.
After just a few days off after the New Year, Lin Qiu was going to school again. The shop where Monkey worked was also opened. He urged Monkey to help. After everyone got together once in their hometown, they had to say goodbye again.
Adults will get used to seeing each other again and again, and the children are slowly getting used to it. Monkey wanted to cry when he looked at his mother, but he felt that he was an adult, so he could only rub his mother's face.
The train passed through the bridge, and time flew by. Lin Qiu ushered in the annual school season, and the car repair shop also started working. However, the New Year had just ended, and the hotel's business was relatively dull, so the three children were free.
Lin Qiu and Hou Hou brought them pickles made by Chen Qingxiu, as well as some New Year's goods. Although the restaurant was in charge of the food, it was still not as delicious as An Xin's own cooking.
The three children have all grown much taller after the New Year. Zhou Xiaotong and Lin Qiu made an appointment for a weekend to take them to buy new clothes. There were too many things going on before the new year, so they delayed buying clothes.
Leprosy and the others hadn't worn new clothes for a long time, and they didn't care when they bought them, so they just jumped away. The dog boy had been coughing since the winter because of his injury. He had already spent a lot of money on Lin Qiu because of his injury. Hua Wenyan also paid him a lot of money, but it was Lin Qiu who ran the front and back for him.
The dog boy came to Lin Qiu privately: "Brother Lin Qiu, I don't want to wear new clothes."
Lin Qiu was puzzled: "You have grown a lot, and your pants can no longer protect your legs. If you don't buy new clothes, you will get frostbite."
"I...I...don't buy it for me." Dog Boy muttered, and Lin Qiu guessed what he was thinking.
Touching his head: "The other two people have new clothes, and you should have them too." Lin Qiu felt that children should be treated fairly, and the dog boy was injured because of his bravery.
Seeing that Lin Qiu couldn't refuse, Gou Boy had no choice but to give up. He felt warm in his heart. Few people were so kind to them.
