Reborn 1990's Fat Wife Should Be Self-Reliant

Chapter 127 New Year's Eve
Today is New Year's Eve, but Zhou Huilan doesn't plan to go back to spend the New Year with Zhou Zhenhai.

So after lunch, she led Yaoyao out of the house, planning to go to the street to buy a few things, and take it home to visit Zhou Zhenhai.

"Mom, shall we come back to spend the New Year with mother-in-law at night?"

"Of course I'm back, Mom made the dumpling stuffing and it's still in the kitchen!"

Hearing what her mother said, Yaoyao immediately grinned, "Mom, can I go to Uncle Lu's house tonight?"

The bustle of the previous days was gone on the street, only some small vendors nearby were still persisting.

Hearing Yaoyao's words, Zhou Huilan froze for a moment, "Why are you going to Uncle Lu's house?"

"Uncle Lu bought a small flying saucer, he said he would take me to fly it with him!"

"Then go."

While talking, the mother and daughter walked to a dim sum stall. Zhou Huilan was talking to the proprietress when she was suddenly caught by the sound of a loud horn.

It was a silver car, parked on the side of the road and kept honking its horn.

Zhou Huilan subconsciously moved Yaoyao closer to her side, and saw the window of the small car by the side of the road lowered slowly.

"Yaoyao! Get in the car!"

"Uncle Lu!" Yaoyao is small, so she saw Lu Changqing in the car at a glance, and was about to rush forward excitedly, but was pulled firmly by Zhou Huilan.

"Why are you rushing, how dangerous is this road!"

Wen Yan Yaoyao stuck out her tongue mischievously, pointing to the car, "Mom, that's Uncle Lu, look!"

Zhou Huilan just bent down and saw Lu Changqing sitting in the driver's seat, she was also surprised, "You can still drive? Whose car is this?"

Standing on the side, you can't tell what brand it is, but a car is definitely a high-end luxury in this era.

After all, it costs 10,000+ to buy a car these days, and only tens of thousands to buy a house.

"My friend's car, get in quickly, I'll take you back!" Lu Changqing said, seeing that Zhou Huilan hadn't moved, he simply opened the car door and ran down, directly opened the door of the back seat of the car, and invited the mother and daughter to the car, "Today All the taxis on the street are on holiday, and it’s not easy for you to take a taxi, so I borrowed a car from a friend."

This is true, it's New Year's Eve, and taxis have to be on holiday.

It's just that Zhou Huilan was not in a hurry to get in the car, "I have to buy a few things, it won't look good to go back empty-handed."

"I've bought everything, let's go, if you go back late, you will definitely not be allowed to come out!"

Zhou Huilan wasn't worried about this, after all, Zhou Zhenhai's temper of slapping the table and staring at him every now and then, as long as she didn't submit to it, she wouldn't be ashamed to come out.

After getting into the car, Zhou Huilan saw what was placed in the co-pilot.

What Lu Changqing prepared were all high-end gift boxes, the ones that look fancy but not useful, such as ginseng slices of honey.

Zhou Huilan couldn't help being a little surprised, "Unexpectedly, you will prepare these things, and your Chinese medicine practitioners also believe in these things?"

"Of course I don't believe it, but when it comes to giving gifts, of course you have to go according to the preferences of the recipients. Don't all the elderly like these now!"

While being shocked, Zhou Huilan also discovered that Lu Changqing not only drove a car today, but also had particularly branchy hair and clothes that he had never worn. This must have been done on purpose.

Zhou Huilan couldn't help laughing, but deliberately teased Lu Changqing with a stern face, "You are so serious, are you going to pay a formal visit to the old man?"

"Can't it work?" Lu Changqing drove the car with a complacent expression on his face.

Zhou Huilan wanted to laugh, but felt shivering in her heart, "Why are you going to see him, there must be nothing good to say, I'll take Yaoyao in for a walk and then come out, just wait for us by the side of the road for a while."

"Really... don't I need to go in?" Lu Changqing was obviously disappointed.

But thinking of Zhou Zhenhai's posture and what he said a few days ago, Zhou Huilan shook her head firmly, "No need."

There was no one on the street, and the car was going fast.

When they arrived at the rest place, Zhou Huilan carried Yaoyao with the things that Lu Changqing had prepared and went in.

It's New Year's Eve, and those who should go home have already returned. Walking on the streets of the rest house, you can already feel the rare excitement.

The children who set off firecrackers, the adults who put up Spring Festival couplets, and those who built ladders to hang lanterns. Although rows of lanterns have been hung on the trees on the roadside, there are some things that you have to do yourself to feel atmosphere.

In such a happy atmosphere, Zhou Huilan led Yaoyao to open the door of Zhou's courtyard.

Unlike the excitement on the street, the yard is deserted.

As soon as she entered the door, Yaoyao yelled "Grandpa", and heard Zhou Zhenhai's answer in the room from a long distance away, watching him come out quickly and hold Yaoyao, Zhou Huilan's lingering thought, It came to my mind again.

It's not that Zhou Zhenhai doesn't know how to love others, it's just that he can pamper Yaoyao and pamper Wang Jianye, but he can only be extremely harsh on his own children, and he doesn't have any care except for finding faults in different ways.

"Mom! Come in!"

Hearing her daughter calling herself, Zhou Huilan let out a long breath and followed in with her things.

The house had a little more New Year's atmosphere than the yard, there were melon seeds and candies on the table, Zhou Zhenhai also took a doll half the height of Yaoyao, and stuffed it to Yaoyao with a doting expression on his face.

Hu Manxiang came up to greet her, Zhou Huilan thanked her, and directly took those gift boxes and put them on the open space in the house.

Then ignored Hu Manxiang's kindness to let her sit on the sofa, and sat directly at the dining table.

"It's cold outside, drink some hot tea, your father told you to make it in advance." Hu Manxiang brought over a cup of tea.

Zhou Huilan twitched the corners of her mouth mechanically, which was considered a courtesy.

It was a bit cold after sitting in the car with the engine turned off for a long time. Lu Changqing unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. He stretched his arms and legs, feeling much more comfortable all over.

At first, I didn't think I had been waiting for a long time, but looking at the watch, Zhou Huilan had been in for more than an hour.

When I went in just now, Zhou Huilan specifically said that it would take half an hour at most, why didn't I come out after going in for so long?

Lu Changqing was a little strange, but after thinking about it, although the father and daughter had conflicts, they were biological father and daughter anyway, and the conflict might be resolved after sitting down and talking about it.

He walked around the car a few times, his whole body warmed up, and then he got into the car again.

Not long after sitting down, I saw a black Santana driving into the dry rest facility, and the guard on duty saluted the driver very politely.

Others can enter but oneself cannot, Lu Changqing flattened his mouth sourly.

It's just that he waited for another hour, and Zhou Huilan hadn't come out yet.

Seeing that the sky is already dark, we agreed to go back to make dumplings and have a reunion dinner with Granny Duan at night. Can we go back?

Lu Changqing simply parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the cadre rest house.
