Love begins with binding a girl with problems

Chapter 161 A Snowy Night Alone

It is said that the New Year's Eve dinner in Jiazhou City starts at noon.

At noon, Xiaojia is a meal for a family of three.

And in the evening is the official New Year's Eve dinner. Usually, grandmas are the center, and a large family is called to have a reunion dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Jiang Yu never understood such traditional customs, but he knew that this day would probably be very lively.

Jiang Yu's new year is usually spent at home by himself.

Because of the influence of Jiang Zilan when he was a child, Jiang Yu never had much interest in this kind of festivals. Instead of going around the streets, it is better to open computer games and get in touch with more interesting worlds.

but now……

Jiang Yu was sitting on the computer chair, and the keyboard and mouse in front of him had been replaced by books and test papers.

He didn't miss any of the review materials that Zhang Rongqiang asked him to buy, and when he was shopping in the bookstore, he bought a lot of tutorial books that Jiang Yu thought would come in handy.

Perhaps Jiang Yu at this age still doesn't understand what a man's responsibility is.

His motives are pure, unaffected by any complex social factors.

He just wanted to be with Lin Nanxi.

"Buzz..."

The phone on the table vibrated at this moment.

Jiang Yu glanced at the current time.

Eleven in the morning.

Lin Nanxi is going to her grandma's house for dinner at noon today. Lin Nanxi's grandma lives in a rural area. This is the busiest time for cooking and cooking, so it probably wasn't her call.

With slight expectation, Jiang Yu took the phone over and glanced at the caller.

Caller: Mom.

"Hey?"

"Hey~~Baby~~~~"

Jiang Yu: "..."

No matter how old Jiang Yu is, his mother Jiang Zilan will always treat him as a child, and Jiang Yu feels uncomfortable every time he bites a baby.

But I think this is the name my mother is used to, so I haven't corrected her.

"Happy New Years, son."

"Did you receive the New Year's money that Mom sent you?"

After hearing what Jiang Zilan said, Jiang Yu glanced at the text message on his phone.

The amount of Jiang Zilan's New Year's money is relatively large, so it is usually sent by bank transfer.

Jiang Yu sighed and gave a soft 'hmm'.

"Mom, I'm telling you, mom is in Australia with Aunt Zhang now. It's summer here and it's getting warm~~"

"I heard that it's snowing in Jiazhou City these days, why don't you take photos and post them on Moments? Your aunt is so excited that she almost takes over my Moments!"

"Mom, I've been reading at home these days, and I haven't gone out to take pictures."

"Hey~? Didn't you all have girlfriends? Why don't you go out? It's been a rare snowfall in Jiazhou City for several years. Why don't you go on a date, son."

"...I want to study." Jiang Yu said helplessly.

On Jiang Zilan's side, happiness is always paramount, and everything that affects happiness is a thorn in her side.

Jiang Yu sometimes admires his mother's mentality.

However, she had spent the first half of her life in a bad marriage, and now it was time for her to find her own happiness.

"Learn a little bit, and it's almost enough. If you come to take over Mom's things earlier, Mom can retire earlier."

"Mom, I'm a student now. If I don't study hard, how can I find a daughter-in-law for you?"

“Hasn’t my daughter-in-law already been found???”

Sometimes, facing Jiang Zilan's strange brain circuit, Jiang Yu is quite helpless.

He is a candidate for high school.

Jiang Zilan's words were quite explosive among the entire senior high school parents.

"...I won't talk to you anymore, you are having fun in Australia and be careful."

Jiang Yu was afraid that his mother would find out more about him and Lin Nanxi, so he wanted to run away without even saying a few words.

Jiang Zilan snorted twice, Jiang Yu never clinged to her since she was a child, and even more rebellious when she grew up.Jiang Zilan is very anxious from the perspective of an old mother, but Jiang Yu has a stubborn character, if he doesn't let go, Jiang Zilan can't do anything about him.

"Today is New Year's Eve. You go to your grandma's house for dinner tonight. I'll let them know in advance."

"No, I'm going to study at home today."

"Hey, it's Chinese New Year, why are you staying at home? Go ahead."

"No, anyway, it will take 5 minutes to finish the meal, and the round trip will delay me for more than an hour. I might as well buy what I like at home."

"..." Jiang Zilan on the other side of the phone paused.

Facing such a 'rebellious' character of her own son, she was also very helpless.

"Okay, okay, I'll come find you when mom returns home and make up for your New Year's Eve dinner."

Jiang Zilan couldn't hide her emotions, and her unhappiness was completely engraved in her tone.

After she finished whimpering, she hung up the phone reluctantly.

Jiang Yu put down the phone after hearing the beep-doo sound of hanging up from the receiver.

He has long been mentally prepared to spend the New Year alone this year.

It was the same in previous years, so it didn’t feel like a big deal.

Jiang Zilan was able to call today to wish him a happy New Year, Jiang Yu was already very satisfied.

Picking up the dropped ball pen again, Jiang Yu leaned down at the desk and continued to work on the question in his hand.

"Meow~"

Hanamaki lay on Jiang Yu's table, with a book under her soft belly, stretching her limbs lazily.

Every time Jiang Yu writes two characters, he can reach out and stroke Hanamaki's belly.

This furry feel is especially healing in winter.

……

From morning to afternoon, except for the knowledge flowing through my mind.

Jiang Yu could still feel Lin Nanxi working in the cold wind on the other side of his body.

Lin Nanxi's grandma's daily water is picked up from the well.

Because the temperature was too low, the well water pumped out was freezing to the bone and could not be used directly. It could only be heated in a large iron pot, and then some of it was used for cooking and some for washing dishes.

There are not many vegetables that can be picked from the fields in winter, so Lin Nanxi sent Jiang Yu photos of the pulled out radishes and chopped Chinese cabbage.

It was the first time for Jiang Yu to see this kind of fresh and earthy dish.

It's a pity that I didn't have this delicious food this year.

But...if I work harder this year, maybe Jiang Yu will be the one who will go to the fields to pull carrots next year.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu suddenly became full of energy, and his ideas for solving problems became much smoother.

……

The perception transmitted from Lin Nanxi accompanied Jiang Yu all afternoon.

As evening approached quietly, the WeChat group of Jiang Yu's four brothers had already exploded.

Brave Niu Niu: Grandpa Niu has morning class today! !
Brave Niu Niu: It’s a holiday, it’s a holiday, from [-]pm to noon tomorrow! !
Xiaobaitiao in the waves: You call this a holiday? ? ?

Brave Niu Niu: Do you want to come and see how strict my management is here? It’s a secret to have half a day off!

Qiang Ani: Let's not talk nonsense, since it's a holiday, let's send a red envelope.

Qiang Ani: My mother said today that I am an adult and will not give me any red envelopes. Please make up for my fragile heart.

Jiang Yu's study progress has come to an end now, and he rarely has time to look through the chat history.

When he saw this, he clicked on the red envelope interface, entered the amount of 200, and sent it out.

As the group said, 'I'm so stupid! ’, the chat came to an abrupt end, and each of the three brothers began to hold their breath and concentrate, for fear of missing this fierce battle.

After all, it was Jiang Yu who issued the red envelope, and his red envelope amount was different from the stingy one-cent red envelopes. If you grab it, you will earn it.

This kind of lucky red envelope mainly depends on appearance.

Jiang Yu posted a total of three, and all three were Daniel's MVPs.

Brave Niu Niu: Did you see, Niu Niu, I am going to be prosperous this year.

Qiang Ani: MD, four people grabbed the 200 red envelope, and I couldn’t get a [-] cent red envelope from anyone.

Langlixiaobiao: Awesome

YU: Hahahahaha
Jiang Yu was entertained for a long time until a message from Lin Nanxi popped up.

He quickly abandoned his good brother and opened Lin Nanxi's window instead.

XI: I’m home...

XI: tired (>﹏<)

YU: Xixi, you finally finished your lunch, now it's time for dinner.

At this time, the time has reached six o'clock in the evening.

There are still two hours before the Spring Festival Gala starts. Generally speaking, the New Year's Eve dinner is already eaten at six o'clock.

Lin Nanxi just came home, and I'm afraid he won't be able to eat dinner in time.

XI: Whoop, whoop...[猫猫流泪.jpg]
XI: However, my mother said that this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner is to eat hot pot. We brought the ingredients back from grandma’s house, and now we just need to cut them up and eat them directly!

Probably because today is the New Year's Eve, Jiang Yuguang read Lin Nanxi's writing, and felt that she was in a good mood, giving people a lively feeling.

XI: Clang, clang, clang~~
Lin Nanxi sent two photos, which showed the prepared hot pot ingredients, including base ingredients and some tripe and fat beef.

Jiang Yuguang just glanced at the color of the base material and wanted to shout that he couldn't do it.

The concentration of this pepper can subdue him in one bite.

However, his dinner today is seafood fried rice, and takeaway has already been ordered.

Jiang Yu planned to finish the fried rice as quickly as possible and then continue on his way to answer questions.

Whether it's a new year or not, it doesn't matter much to Jiang Yu, a senior in high school who is about to take the college entrance examination.

YU: It’s so good to eat. Have fun with my aunt and brother.

YU: [red packet]
Jiang Yu typed a paragraph and brought a red envelope along the way.

He has already given out red envelopes in the brother group, Lin Nanxi must not be left behind here.

XI: [Maomao Tilts His Head.jpg]
Jiang Yu knew that Lin Nanxi would not accept anything related to money easily.

However, Jiang Yu had already thought of the reason.

YU: This is the red envelope I gave Huajuan,
YU: The flower roll is too small to carry money in your pocket, so I gave it to its mother.

YU: You have to save the lucky money for Hanjuan, Xixi.

The phrase "give the New Year's money to mom, and mom will save it for you" is a common trick used by parents.

When Jiang Yu said this kind of trick, it always felt weird.

In fact, the red envelope Jiang Yu sent to Lin Nanxi was not much, only 520 yuan, which is not even a small change for Jiang Yu.

XI: ...If it is used to buy something for Hanamaki, then I will accept it.

Jiang Yu actually didn't care what Lin Nanxi was going to buy, anyway, as long as it was what she wanted to buy, she could buy anything.

Seeing that Lin Nanxi accepted the red envelope, Jiang Yu was also satisfied.

"I hope my Lin Nanxi will always be, Amen."

The New Year's money was distributed, and it was naturally used for the New Year's Eve.

"Meow~meow~~"

Huamuan came over to make trouble when Jiang Yu put his hands together, and pulled Jiang Yu's hands with his fleshy paws.

Jiang Yu stroked the cat's head and said to Hanamaki.

"What age are you? You want to grow up quickly for me."

"Meow~"

Jiang Yu casually took out a small dried fish from the bag and threw it to Hanamaki.

Holding the Hanajuan in his mouth, he unceremoniously snacked on Jiang Yu's test paper.

Only half a month has passed since I picked up the flower roll and brought it back. This palm-sized kitten has grown to the length of Jiang Yu's arm.

With this rising trend continuing, Jiang Yu feels that it is very likely that he will harvest a chubby cat and cat bug in the spring of next year.

……

The time soon came to 06:30.

At 06:30 in the evening, at this time, people in Jiazhou City have already had a reunion dinner.

Jiang Yu's mobile phone received several messages one after another.

There is a private message from Daniel, his training class is on vacation, and he is having dinner with his mother in a restaurant.

The food environment in the city next door is much lighter than that in Jiazhou City. There are no chili peppers on the table. Daniel joked that this meal is suitable for Jiang Yu.

There was another message from my aunt. My aunt Jiang Meilan complained about why Jiang Yu didn't go back to his grandma's house this year. Grandma had prepared a lot of delicious food for him.

Jiang Yu replied to the messages one by one.

As for his aunt, Jiang Yu decided not to make a trip.

He didn't like the feeling of visiting other people's homes. Even though they were blood-related grandparents, Jiang Yu could never handle such complicated family relationships and would only feel awkward getting along with them.

'New Year' has never been something worth celebrating for Jiang Yu.

"Om..."

Then a message popped up on the phone, Jiang Yu clicked on it and found that it was from Lin Nanxi.

XI: It’s almost seven o’clock... Where will Jiang Yu eat tonight?

YU: Grandma's house.

XI: Oh...

XI: See what you ate?

When Jiang Yu looked at the layout, he thought to himself that Lin Nanxi should not be busy having New Year's Eve dinner with his mother and brother now, why should he care about the situation on his side?

Faced with Lin Nanxi's concern, Jiang Yu was at a loss.

He glanced at the cold fried rice in his hand and scratched the back of his head.

Then he had an idea and quickly sent a message to his little cousin Jiang Yue.

YU: In?Send me pictures of the New Year's Eve dinner.

Cousin: Brother, do you want to come back for dinner? The aunts cooked a big table today, you can call your sister-in-law over.

YU: If I don't come, you hurry up and take pictures of me!
Cousin: Oh...

In a short while, his cousin Jiang Yue took photos of a table full of delicacies and sent them to Jiang Yu.

In the photo, the elderly grandmother is smiling and serving food for the aunt, probably because she was fed too much by the elders, and the aunt Jiang Meilan hugged the bowl directly in her arms, swearing to die.

The picture is frozen in this warm scene.

Looking at this photo, Jiang Yu smiled helplessly.

It's a good thing he didn't go, otherwise he would feel that he was the one who didn't fit in.

"Bang bang bang,"

Just when Jiang Yu was about to forward the photo to Lin Nanxi, a hasty knock on the door at the end of the porch interrupted his thoughts.

For Chinese New Year...does anyone come to visit her house?
