Chapter 942 She Has Already Given You Face

I work hard all year just for this day.

Today, the fields and docks are all empty as the villagers are busy preparing for the New Year.

The man was putting up Spring Festival couplets outside while the woman was preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner in the kitchen.

Families with better conditions would slaughter chickens and ducks.

Those who are less financially constrained will also buy some pork.

Cook a big bowl of braised meat with soy sauce and eat it from New Year’s Eve to the third day of the New Year.

“Chen Hui! Chen Hui! Chen Hui.”

Chen Hui’s motorcycle passed by Wu Si’s house.

Li Lanlan heard it, ran out quickly and shouted loudly behind.

Chen Hui stopped the car, turned around and asked, “Aunt Li, what’s the matter?”

“Come to my house tonight for New Year’s Eve dinner! You and Wen Jing can come.”

“Let me tell you, our family killed a chicken today, and his uncle’s family slaughtered a sheep, and they gave us some mutton.”

Li Lanlan wiped her hands on her apron and walked forward and said.

“Let’s come another day. My mother-in-law is here today, so the whole family can’t go.” Chen Hui said.

Li Lanlan looked surprised, “Your mother-in-law is here too.”

“Yes! I’m leaving now and will come to pay New Year’s greetings tomorrow.”

Chen Hui said this, waved his hand and was about to leave.

Li Lanlan grabbed Chen Hui and continued, “Don’t leave in a hurry. Wait here for me. I have something else to talk to you about.”

After saying that, Li Lanlan took two quick steps towards her home.

Suddenly, he came back and said, “Don’t leave! Don’t come to my house after you leave!”

Chen Hui was really planning to start the car and drive away.

I felt too embarrassed to leave after being caught by her like this.

He smiled and assured, “Go get whatever you want, I’ll be waiting here.”

Li Lanlan smiled with satisfaction and trotted back into the house.

“The fourth son’s mother treats others very differently from how she treats her own son.” An Wenjing said with a smile.

“She just scolds him harshly, but she still loves her son in her heart.” Chen Hui said with a smile.

Li Lanlan came out of the house again.

He held a chicken in his left hand and two red envelopes in his right hand.

He first handed the chicken to Chen Hui, and then stuffed the red envelope into An Wenjing’s pocket.

He smiled and said, “I heard from Wu Si that you are pregnant with twins. This is my red envelope for the two children for the New Year.”

“Aunt Li, forget about catching the chicken, it’s a little too early to give the red envelope.”

“The baby hasn’t been born yet. It’s not too late to give it to her next year.”

As Chen Hui said this, he was about to stuff the red envelope back into Li Lanlan’s pocket.

“It’s not for you, why don’t you want it?”

Li Lanlan frowned and held Chen Hui down in a reproachful manner.

He said with emotion:
“When Wu Si got married, you gave him a bed sheet and helped him out, and the red envelope was so big.”

“I’ll go back to your house the next day for a drink, but I won’t be able to find you when I go to call you.”

“If you don’t accept it, I will feel bad.”

See Chen Hui didn’t refute immediately.

Li Lanlan smiled and patted An Wenjing’s hand, then turned around and walked away quickly.

“Brother Chen Hui, this…” An Wenjing was holding the red envelope and was in a dilemma.

Chen Hui took the red envelope and took a look at it.

One red envelope costs one dollar.

“Fortunately the money isn’t much, so I’ll just take it. The fourth child will be a father next year anyway.”

“How do you know that the fourth child will be a father next year?”

“Yu Huiying was already pregnant before they had the wedding.”

“Ah?! Before they got married…”

“Shh, don’t tell anyone else.”

The two of them went to Chen Huihong’s house chatting about Wu Si’s gossip.

Huang Miao just arrived at the door.

He was holding a bag in his hand and was about to go in.

I heard the sound of a motorcycle and waited outside my house.

“Goushun, you’re not here to give gifts as well, are you?”

Seeing that he was carrying something, Chen Hui stopped the car and asked, “My mother asked me to bring it here to say thank you for taking care of me in Chenjia Village.”

“By the way, are you going to have dinner tonight?”

Huang Miao said as he handed the bag to Chen Hui.

Huang Miao’s family conditions were not so good, and they didn’t have any extra chickens or ducks to give away.

Inside were dried fish made by his mother, who specially picked out the best ones for him to deliver.

“Have you gone to see Old Four?”

Chen Hui didn’t hesitate to take the things and asked.

This is what the three of them have been doing in previous years, eating one meal at your house and one at my house.

Just go to whichever restaurant has the best food.

“I just went there. Aunt Lanlan said he went to his wife’s house to spend the New Year.”

“She also said that there are many relatives at home this year, all of whom are here to see the new daughter-in-law, and she will have to accompany her sister-in-law back to her parents’ home on the second day of the New Year.”

Huang Miao spread his hands. It seemed that Wu Si was not free this year.

“I won’t go this year either. I have a wife and kids and a warm home. I can’t hang out with a single guy like you.” Chen Hui waved his hand and said.

Huang Miao sneered, “One or two of them, they have the opposite sex but no humanity.”

“You only come back one or two days every month now.”

“We’re not going, you can just keep your uncle and aunt company.”

“If you really have nothing to do, you can open the cabinet on New Year’s Day.” Chen Hui said with a smile.

Huang Miao rolled his eyes at him, “That’s a nice thought, but who would work for you during the New Year?”

After saying that, he waved goodbye and went home without looking back.

Chen Hui took An Wenjing into the house.

Wang Yumei was holding Nini and looking at the Kitchen God.

When the little girl saw Chen Hui, she excitedly waved her chubby hands and shouted, “Xu Xu! Xu Xu!”

“It’s not Xuxu, it’s uncle.”

“Come on, repeat after uncle: Uncle Siwu, Uncle!”

Chen Hui took the little girl in his hands and corrected her seriously.

There was a confused look on Nini’s young face.

He listened very carefully and studied very seriously, but when he opened his mouth, he still said “empty, empty!”

Wang Yumei laughed as she listened.

“Don’t embarrass my daughter!”

“She’s only a one and a half year old baby. She can’t even call the uncle she sees every day. She’s already giving you face by calling Xuxu.”

Wu Dianyang said with a smile.

Put the firewood into the stove.

He got up and made a cup of tea for Chen Hui, and asked An Wenjing, “Wenjing, do you still want to drink boiled water?”

“I want to drink sugar tea today, it’s New Year’s Day.”

As An Wenjing spoke, she took the bamboo basket from the stove to the table.

Inside are orange peels that Chen Huihong had dried in advance, specially kept for making sugar tea during the Chinese New Year.

Wu Dianyang tore off a piece and threw it into the cup, adding a spoonful of sugar.

Add boiling water into it and stir it twice with a chopstick.

“Why are you and your sister-in-law the only ones at home today? Where are your aunt and uncle?”

Seeing that Chen Huihong and Wu Shuisheng were not there, Chen Hui asked casually while drinking tea.

“I went to my eldest uncle’s and second uncle’s house, and brought my eldest uncle with me to collect two red envelopes.”

“Nini has a slight cold, so we won’t take her with us. We’ll just stew the chicken at home.”

Wu Dianyang’s voice had just fallen.

Lin Jiao rode a bicycle and brought An Wenyi there.

As soon as he entered the house, he took out two red envelopes and handed them to Wu Dianyang, saying with a smile: “Give them to the two children for New Year’s Eve.”

“Oh, mother-in-law, you…”

“The child is still young, no need.”

It seems that Wu Dianyang is not very good at this traditional skill.

“Only children accept red envelopes. For adults like me, even if I want them, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Lin Jiao insisted.

“Just take it if it’s given to you. You are no match for them.” Chen Hui said with a smile.

Wu Dianyang had no choice but to thank him and accept it.

Lin Jiao took out two more and asked him to take care of Wu Dianhai’s two children.
