Chapter 71:
On the morning of the first day of the new year, Zhou's mother distributed New Year money to everyone in the family.
Even Mother Chen has it.
This is Mother Zhou's habit. Anyway, in the Zhou family, as long as they are not married, no matter how old they are, they will have lucky money. And the red envelope is very thick.
Zhou Suiyu and Chen Ma were already surprised.
On the contrary, Shen An'an and the oarfish were surprised when they saw Zhou's mother giving out the New Year's money.
Before Shen An'an didn't wear books, she actually received the New Year's money, but it was all about her childhood. Since she went to college, she lost her share of the New Year's money.
But Shen An'an doesn't really care if there is any lucky money, because even the lucky money she received when she was a child didn't fall into her hands in the end, it was all kept by her parents! Hey, my parents said that I would give it to her when she grew up. Anyway, Shen An'an never saw the shadow of that money again.
But people, no matter how old you are, being able to receive a red envelope is always a happy thing. So after Shen Anan got the red envelope, she smiled sweetly at Mother Zhou and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Mother Zhou: "You're welcome. Come on, this is the emperor's."
The oarfish raised his hand and scratched the red hair on the top of his head, showing a rare look of embarrassment: "Thank...Thank you, Auntie."
Zhou Suiyu looked at the two "children" with amusement and asked, "How are you going to spend the New Year's money?"
Shen Anan thought for a while and said, "Shall we buy something to eat?"
The oarfish thought for a while and said, "Can you buy a toy?"
Zhou Suiyu: "...Let's go, take the two of you to go shopping on the street."
From the first to the fifteenth day of the new year, the Zhou family was full of people who came to pay New Year's greetings, and most of Zhou Suiyu didn't know each other. He was also too lazy to entertain those people. So at this time of year, he either hides in the upstairs room and reads, or just hides out.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were all used to it. Seeing him walking outside with Shen An'an and Huang Taiyu, he even waved his hand with a smile: "Have fun!"
It is said to be the first day of the new year, but the streets are not as lively as usual. Many small shops have not yet opened, but fortunately, shopping malls and supermarkets are open.
Zhou Suiyu first took the two to the supermarket, bought a bunch of food and drink for Shen An'an and the oarfish, bought some toys for the oarfish, and picked the largest Barbie doll on the shelf, and then Only then got back into the car and drove to Marshmallow's house.
— Daddy Marshmallow texted him last night, inviting him to his house for yellow beef hot pot. He used a copper pot to cook the yellow beef he brought back from his hometown. Zhou Suiyu didn't have to think about it, he knew that Shen Anan would definitely like it, so after the thrilling scene last night, he didn't forget to agree to Marshmallow Dad's invitation.
Speaking of An An, who likes to take advantage of others when he is drunk, it really makes Zhou Suiyu sweet and vaguely worried.
Because he didn't know whether Shen Anan only liked to take advantage of him when he was drunk, or took advantage of everyone else. If she just likes to take advantage of him, then it's better. I'm afraid that she won't care if she's drunk. If that's the case, then it is estimated that Shen Anan will have to be banned from drinking in the future.
And Zhou Suiyu didn't forget things when he was drunk, but Shen Anan didn't seem to be. She would cut off when she was drunk. Anyway, Zhou Suiyu tried beating around the bush this morning, but Shen Anan didn't remember it at all. I don't remember how she rubbed around in his arms on the sofa, nor how she took Zhou Suiyu back to her room after she sent her back to her room, how she hugged Zhou Suiyu and refused to let him go...
He likes to tease people when he's drunk, and he doesn't even acknowledge the bill after teasing. Gee!
Marshmallow's family lives in an ordinary community in Whale City. On the first floor, with a small independent courtyard.
Marshmallow Dad goes to work, and Marshmallow Mom takes care of the children full-time at home. Not only does Marshmallow Dad not need to worry about keeping the house in good order, but even his yard looks much more beautiful than the neighbor's yard.
There were roses crawling on the fence outside the yard, and concrete was poured in the yard.
When the three of them arrived, the Marshmallow family of three had already set up a copper pot in the center of the yard, and the meat and vegetables to be scalded had been washed and neatly sized.
Marshmallow still had an impression of the oarfish. As soon as he saw the oarfish, he rushed towards the oarfish with his fleshy short legs: "Brother Huanghuang, brother Huanghuang..."
The oarfish bent over to catch the marshmallow, and tossed it smoothly, making the marshmallow giggle.
Shen An'an looked at it, and somehow felt that the oarfish might not be a good father, but he was really a rare good brother.
First of all, he can help his sister in fights. With such a brother, he has a sense of security! Secondly, he is also very fond of his sister. He is willing to give her anything delicious and fun, and he also listens to her words and can work. The most important thing is that he can especially play with her, unlike some Brother, when you need to take the blame, you push your sister out to block the knife, and when you take your sister, you think your sister is troublesome.
The oarfish noticed Shen An'an's gaze, and tilted his head in confusion with the marshmallows in his arms: "What's wrong?"
Shen Anan shook her head: "No, I think you are really a good brother."
Huang Odaiyu had a proud look on his face: "Of course, let me tell you, if Zhou Suiyu dares to bully you in the future, tell me, and I will hammer him for you."
Before Zhou Suiyu could speak, Shen Anan hurriedly replied: "No, no, no need for you to do something like hammering Zhou Suiyu, I'll do it myself."
Zhou Suiyu: "...???"
Zhou Suiyu brought a Barbie doll to Marshmallow as a New Year's gift. Marshmallow really liked it. Holding the gift in one hand and the oarfish in the other, he went to the swing stand in the corner of the yard and began to play house wine with the emperor fish. game.
Zhou Suiyu led Shen An'an to say hello to Marshmallow's parents.
I saw Marshmallow Daddy last time, mainly to say hello to Marshmallow Mama. Marshmallow's mother is gentle and fair, but she is really good at work. She soon greeted everyone and said that they can start hot pot.
The six people sat down next to the copper pot one by one.
Opposite is the Marshmallow family of three.
This is Zhou Suiyu's family of three.
The atmosphere can be said to be very harmonious.
It has become a habit for Zhou Suiyu to take care of Shen An'an. I eat shrimp and peel it, eat crab and peel it. Now I eat a hot pot, and I also blanch the yellow beef and dip it in the sauce before putting it in the small bowl in front of Shen Anan. Shen Anan only needs to be responsible for eating.
The oarfish have become numb to this.
Although Marshmallow's parents were a little surprised that Zhou Suiyu would dote on his girlfriend so much, they are adults in the end.
Only Marshmallow tilted her head to look at Shen An'an and Zhou Suiyu for a long time, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, our teacher said that we have to do our own things ourselves, and we can't ask people to feed them."
Shen An'an picked up a piece of beef dipped in sauce and ate it into her mouth, then looked at the marshmallow innocently: "I didn't ask anyone to feed it, I ate it myself."
Marshmallow: "...but...but..."
Shen An'an: "Are you trying to say that I don't have my own food?"
Marshmallow nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, you didn't bring your own vegetables..."
Shen An'an: "Sister is still young and hasn't learned how to serve vegetables!"
Marshmallow:"…"
Zhou Suiyu was drinking water, and when he heard Shen An'an's words, he was choked for a moment, and said helplessly: "...An An, don't bully children."
Shen An'an changed her words eloquently: "Okay, elder sister lied to you just now. In fact, elder sister has learned to cook by herself, but this elder brother likes elder sister very much, so he is willing to take care of elder sister like a child."
Zhou Suiyu: "…"
Okay, stop bullying the child and start bullying him.
After eating, the oarfish accompanied Marshmallow to play on the swing in the yard, while Shen Anan helped Marshmallow's mother clean up.
As for Zhou Suiyu, he was drinking tea and chatting with Marshmallow Dad on the balcony.
At first it was about work.
But after chatting, the topic turned to personal feelings.
Zhou Suiyu pretended to inquire about the news casually: "Where did you confess to Marshmallow's mother?"
Daddy Marshmallow recalled for a moment, and said slowly: "It was downstairs in their dormitory. I remember it very clearly. It was Christmas Eve. I read books with her in the library and saw that it was late, and then sent her back to the dormitory. Suddenly, on the way back to the dormitory. A long-haired boy with a guitar on his back rushed out. The boy said he liked her, and he had to sing a love song to confess to her. I was standing next to me, and my hands and feet were so nervous that I was afraid that she would nod and agree..."
Zhou Suiyu didn't know there was such a scene, so he couldn't help but asked curiously, "Then what?"
"Then? Then she refused. I thought at the time, she is so good, someone will confess to her with a guitar today, and maybe someone will set a candle to confess to her tomorrow... So in order to avoid long nights of dreams, I was impulsive and put her directly. Pulled to the Lover's Lake next to our school, and told her I liked her and wanted her to be my girlfriend..."
After Marshmallow Daddy finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Suiyu: "How about it, do you think this story is quite beautiful and romantic?"
Zhou Suiyu nodded: "It's okay."
Marshmallow Dad put his hand on the balcony, looked at the void, and sighed faintly: "I thought it was very romantic at first, until later I went back to her house with my wife to see the parents, and I saw the long-haired boy again. , I just found out that it was her own younger brother, and the two of them acted together in a scene to force me to confess!"
Zhou Suiyu: "…"
This is a really good story with a sweet start and a surprising ending!
Marshmallow Dad patted Zhou Suiyu on the shoulder: "So, as someone who has come here, I advise you, confess this matter, you can hurry up or hurry up. Anyway, even if you don't take the initiative, women still have a way to make you take the initiative. ."
Zhou Suiyu: "…"
