Chapter 78
"If you want to come here in the future, I will accompany you to visit your grandparents." Su Huai rubbed Cheng Jinbai's hair.

Cheng Jinbai glanced sideways.

After this semester, the boy was pampered by Cheng Jinbai and was no longer as thin and weak as he was at the beginning.

His stature has grown a lot, and even his appearance seems to have changed a bit. All in all, Cheng Jinbai feels quite happy that our child has grown up.

[Oh, I feel so accomplished. 】

[Raise Ah Huai until he is white and fat, so you don’t want him to become a villain. 】

[Our Ah Huai will definitely be a good young man! 】

Su Huai's eyes were gentle.

Well, he is just a good boy with a good family background.

After the two of them cleaned the house, Cheng Jinbai took Su Huai to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables for cooking.

The villages here retain the ancient atmosphere of Jiangnan, with white walls and green tiles, small bridges and flowing water.

On both sides of the moss-covered bluestone road are old wooden houses from decades ago. In front of the wooden houses, there are many old people sitting in the sun, lying comfortably on rocking chairs and squinting their eyes in contentment.

Cheng Jinbai took Su Huai around Qingshi Road and turned into an alley.

There are many old people in the alley carrying burdens and setting out vegetables, talking and laughing in the Z city dialect while selling vegetables leisurely.

Su Huai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly as he watched Cheng Jinbai pick up the vegetables, look them over familiarly, bargain with the old man, and finally buy the vegetables and various meats at a cheap price.

"When I was a kid, I followed my grandparents to buy groceries and learned a little bit." Noticing Su Huai's gaze, Cheng Jinbai smiled sheepishly.

"Frugality is a virtue, just don't be embarrassed." Su Huai helped Cheng Jinbai pick up the groceries, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

"Go buy some more potatoes. I'll make potato stewed beef brisket for you tonight. Let me tell you if it's delicious."

Su Huai tightened the scarf around Cheng Jinbai's neck, with a smile in his eyes: "Okay."

The old people next to them watched the young girl carrying the dishes and leaving together. The girls talked and laughed all the way, and the boys listened intently. The tenderness in their eyes seemed to be solidifying, and they couldn't help but sigh.

When they were young, they came here like this.

After returning from shopping, Cheng Jinbai ran to the kitchen to wash the vegetables, with Su Huai helping him.

The two of them were chatting while cooking, and soon one dish after another was cooked.

When it was time for dinner, smoke rose from every house, and the sounds of children playing in the alleys of the village could be heard.

Cheng Jinbai and Su Huai filled their meals and sat at the table. While eating, they turned on the old-fashioned radio and listened to the old songs played on the radio.

Su Huai took a chopstick dish to Cheng Jinbai and looked up at the person opposite.

As the sun sets, the warm orange-red light shines in through the window and falls on the table, illuminating the white mist rising from the vegetables and the bright luster on the girl's hair.

An unknown warmth spreads in this corner.

At this moment, only this moment, Su Huai wanted time to stop here.

but……

Thinking of something, Su Huai quietly clenched his chopsticks.

Yes, there will be such a day.

But, there will definitely not be that kind of encounter.

This comfortable and peaceful day lasted for a long time.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Cheng Jinbai went to buy a lot of new year's goods. He found a plate that had not been used for a long time and placed it with candies, melon seeds and peanuts.

This is their custom here.

Every New Year's morning, children will put on new clothes and carry bags from door to door to ask for candy. Sometimes the host will give out a few red envelopes——

This is the happiest day for children who love sweets.

After preparing their things, Cheng Jinbai and Su Huai took out their brushes and started sketching.

Until after dinner in the evening, the sound of firecrackers rang in the sky.

Cheng Jinbai took Su Huai and ran outside to light the fireworks that had been prepared.

Just at this time, Yu Ting made a video call. After Cheng Jinbai connected, the sound of firecrackers came from the video - "Happy New Year's Eve, Xiaobai Su Huai!"

In the video, Yu Ting and Huo Sian'an waved to Cheng Jinbai together.

"Happy New Year's Eve, Ayu! I will give you red envelopes, prepare to grab them!"

Cheng Jinbai handed out ten big red envelopes to the four people, and they were all robbed quickly.

A few people chatted about New Year's Eve until twelve o'clock, which was very lively.

After hanging up the phone, the sound of firecrackers outside became louder and louder.

Cheng Jinbai ran to the rooftop and watched the fireworks in the sky. He couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Suddenly, a thick coat was draped over his shoulders.

Cheng Jinbai turned his head and looked into Su Huai's beautiful auspicious eyes.

"Ah Huai, I wish you a happy new year and good health every year!" Cheng Jinbai said loudly.

"Happy New Year." Su Huai took out a bulging red envelope and handed it to Cheng Jinbai.

Cheng Jinbai was stunned and his eyes lit up: "This is a New Year's red envelope for me."

"Well, here's one." Su Huai smiled.

Cheng Jinbai remembered that he had not had time to prepare the red envelope, so he quickly ran in and found an empty red envelope, took out an empty check, filled in his name and stuffed it in, then took it out and handed it to Su Huai——

"Ah Huai, I will spend many New Years with you in the future. You are not alone."

Su Huai took the red envelope, looked into the smiling eyes of the person in front of him, and started laughing too.

Well, he knows.

His little spirit will always be with him.

He is no longer alone.

The New Year's bell rang, firecrackers went off, and every household stayed together for reunion.

A new round of fireworks lit up from the sky. Su Huai looked at the fireworks and his peripheral vision slowly fell on the white wall next to him.

There are shadows of girls and boys on the white wall.

Su Huai moved slightly, and the boy's shadow moved with him.

The boy's shadow slowly approached the girl, bowed his head slightly when it reached her forehead, and placed a shallow kiss in the void under the bright firework.

After a moment, the girl's figure moved slightly, and her shadows were staggered.

Su Huai turned around and looked at the people around him without blinking, with a ripple in the deep ocean in his eyes.

Just, welcome to 2019.

Early the next morning, after Cheng Jinbai distributed candies to the children next door, he received a message from Liu Fu.

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother have already got off the plane and will arrive in Z city soon.

Cheng Jinbai and Su Huai packed their things, called Qin He, and returned to the Cheng family villa.

Cheng Zhi also came back, and Gu Yinhong was also a guest.

"Uncle Gu?" Cheng Jinbai was a little surprised when he saw Gu Yinhong.

"Yes. Happy New Year Zhizhi." Gu Yinhong handed over a big red envelope.

Cheng Jinbai was a little embarrassed to ask for it, but when he saw Cheng Zhi nodding towards him, he accepted the red envelope and wished Gu Yinhong New Year's greetings.

When Gu Yinhong saw Su Huai, he took out another red envelope and handed it over.

Cheng Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the red envelope.

"This is originally for my eldest brother." Cheng Zhi said softly after Su Huai and Cheng Jinbai left.

Gu Yinhong adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "Old Cheng doesn't need red envelopes."

"Okay." Cheng Zhi smiled and stopped talking.
