Extra Story: New Year's Greetings to Mother-in-law 4(1/2)
After the movie was finally finished, Sika and Qing Ning stood up and left in a serious manner, taking Bai Ling with them while they were still crying.
It was still early, so the three of them went to Sunan Shopping Center together.
Bai Ling likes to go shopping and stops crying when she is happy. She takes Sika to buy things.
In order to make the light bulb leave happily, Su Qingning also bought Bai Ling a set of beautiful clothes.
"Wow! Thank you sister! Sister, you are so kind!"
Sika also bought a bag for Bai Ling, after all, it can cure all diseases.
"Wow! Brother, you are so good!"
After shopping for a while, Xika also bought some gifts for Chu Juan. She usually likes to drink tea, so Xika bought a can of tea for her, but the teapot for making tea was bought in Fairy Continent, which can make the tea more delicious.
Endless aftertaste.
Bai Ling was carrying loads of gifts, laughing and jumping, and was sent home by Sika unknowingly...
"Okay, the light bulb is finally back!" Sika breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Qingning smiled angrily and said, "Xiaoling is very attached to you. In fact, it doesn't matter if you take her with you. My mother likes children very much."
"That's different. After all, it's the first time I'm meeting my mother-in-law. I'll take her with me next time." Sikara held Su Qingning's hand.
"Another nonsense..." Su Qingning scolded, but her heart felt sweet, and she didn't pull her little hand away even when he held it.
Su Qingning thought for a while and said: "Let's cook and eat together tonight, and let's go shopping!"
"Okay, let's go to the market now."
"Stupid, there are no food markets open during the Chinese New Year. Let's go to the supermarket and see what we can buy."
Sika and Qing Ning went to the supermarket again.
Su Qingning's house is relatively deserted during the Chinese New Year. On the first and second days of the new year, she and Chu Juan went back to their hometown to visit relatives. They just returned to southern Jiangsu last night. Usually during the New Year, they order food from restaurants outside and have it delivered to their home. The mother and daughter are also very happy.
Less cooking for yourself.
During the Chinese New Year, vegetable prices are quite high, and there are not many things to buy. Xika and Qing Ning walked hand in hand, walked around for a while, and bought a lot of vegetables, all of which were home-cooked dishes that Qing Ning could make.
After putting the things in the car, Sika took Qing Ning home with her.
"Xiao Xi, you know, I still feel dizzy now. I never thought that you would go home with me to celebrate the New Year this year..."
Sika drove the car, glanced sideways at her, and said with a smile: "Then I will celebrate the New Year with you every year. When we get married and get a new house, on New Year's Eve, I will post Spring Festival couplets and you will prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Hehe, actually, it feels like going back to my parents' house now."
"So you are such a little lime!"
While chatting, the car stopped and we arrived home.
Xika was carrying a lot of things, while Su Qingning was empty-handed. It wasn't that Qingning didn't want to help, she also wanted Xiaoxi to show off more in front of her mother. Who doesn't want her boyfriend to be liked by her mother.
Sika bent his arm to expose the gap, and Qing Ning reached out sensibly, took his arm, and the two of them walked upstairs together like a young couple.
As the floors displayed on the elevator continued to approach, Sika's little heart started to beat. She thought she wasn't nervous, but as she was almost in front of her house, Sika was still nervous.
Really, it’s not like I’ve never been here before…
But it's different. Last time it was a little kitten, this time it's her boyfriend...
Qing Ning could feel Sika's nervousness, but she found it interesting and comforted him: "It's okay! I'm nervous too!"
So the two of them became even more nervous.
After getting out of the elevator, Sika took a look at the slightly reflective door of the elevator. Su Qingning stretched out her hand to tidy up his collar, patted the wrinkles on his clothes, and then led him to the door of her house.
Su Qingning opened the smart lock and opened the door. After verifying her fingerprints, the door opened. Sika took a deep breath and walked in with her.
"Mom, we are back."
Su Qingning shouted, and Chu Juan, who was wearing glasses and reading a book in the living room, raised her head and was stunned...
Next to her daughter, stood an upright man, wearing a formal suit and carrying a lot of things in his hands. He was polite and good-looking.
The most important thing was that his daughter kept holding his arm with her head slightly lowered, raising her eyes to secretly observe her mother's reaction.
Chu Juan immediately put down the book in her hand, put on her fur slippers and came up to her, with a smile that couldn't be concealed in her eyes.
"This is..."
Sika stood at attention with a serious expression, then bent at a 90-degree angle and shouted loudly: "Mom!!"
Chu Juan: "..."
Su Qingning: "..."
Chu Juan didn't react for a while. She was stunned and couldn't find her position.
Su Qingning was also blushing. She quickly pinched the soft flesh of Sika's waist and whispered: "What are you shouting..."
Sika came back to her senses and said awkwardly: "Hello, aunt... I am Qing Ning's boyfriend. My name is Li Xi. I wish aunt a happy New Year and all the best!"
Chu Juan also burst into laughter, her initial stiffness was naturally overcome by this little episode.
Su Qingning's face turned as red as a little apple, her head lowered, but her hand held Sika's arm tightly and never let go.
Seeing this, Chu Juan also knew that her daughter really liked Li Xi very much. Based on her understanding of her daughter, if she didn't like him so much, she would never bring him back to see her, let alone like Niubi Tang.
The stickiness refused to let go.
"Hello Li Xi, I also wish you a happy new year. Come on, come in and sit down."
"Okay auntie!"
Sika entered the house, first helped carry the dishes to the kitchen, and then helped Qing Ning pack everything away.
Chu Juan looked at Xika and Qing Ning quietly, seeing them sometimes whispering and sometimes busy packing things together.
Her first impression of her daughter's boyfriend was very good, and his appearance was naturally impeccable. It could be seen that he attached great importance to this meeting. Chu Juan had been there and knew that the most important thing when two people get along is mutual respect.
Understand and tolerate.
In fact, Qing Ning has a very cold personality and often hides things in her heart, but Li Xi is able to understand her and unlock her heart, which is a very rare thing.
Apart from anything else, in the past few days during the Chinese New Year, Chu Juan had seen more genuine smiles on her daughter's face than in this short period of time.
After finishing their work, Sika and Qing Ning sat on the sofa next to Chu Juan. Chu Juan had already made tea and brought it over to give Sika a cup.
"Li Xi, come and have tea."
"Thank you, aunt!"
Sika took it with both hands, holding the cup and sipping it in small sips.
Su Qingning took out the gift Xika bought.
"Mom, these are the tea leaves that Xiaoxi gave you, and this teapot. He said that using this teapot to make tea will improve the quality of the tea! You try it."
Su Qingning helped Sika talk, and with her enthusiasm, Chu Juan thought she was a guest, as if she were visiting the young couple's home.
"Then let me try."
Chu Juan liked the tea ceremony. She took the teapot and looked at it for a while, and realized that the quality of the teapot was excellent. Then she brewed a new pot of tea. With the same tea leaves, this pot of tea obviously brought out the best quality of tea.
Sika prepared a meeting gift for her, and Chu Juan was naturally prepared as well. She went back to the room and took out a red envelope, which was most appropriate for the juniors.
Sika didn't talk much and behaved exactly as a junior should do. Whatever Chu Juan asked, he answered honestly.
"Li Xi, where do you live?"
"I bought a new house, near Soochow University, and very close to where Qing Ning lives."
"Who is at home?"
"I also have a sister who lives with me."
"Oh, how many sisters do you have?"
"There is only one for now..."
"temporary?"
"Oh no, I mean, I don't have many sisters..."
Xika wiped the sweat from her forehead, why is Qing Ning’s house so hot!
"How old are you this year?"
"I am twenty-one this year."
"That's one year older than our Qing Ning, so it's appropriate..."
Su Qingning was speechless. She usually felt that her mother was quite a high-end business person, so why was she interviewing her boyfriend now? It was like checking her household registration.
"mom……"
