Rebirth Ninety's Fat Wife Should Be Self-reliant

Chapter 127 New Year’s Eve

Today is New Year's Eve, but Zhou Huilan has no intention of going back to spend the New Year with Zhou Zhenhai.

So after lunch, she took Yaoyao out of the house, planning to go shopping to buy a few things and take them back to see Zhou Zhenhai.

"Mom, shall we come back to spend the New Year with my mother-in-law in the evening?"

"Of course I'll come back. Mom's dumpling fillings are still in the kitchen!"

Hearing what her mother said, Yaoyao immediately grinned, "Mom, can I go to Uncle Lu's house tonight?"

The street has lost the bustle of the previous days, only some nearby small vendors are still hanging on.

Hearing Yaoyao's words, Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, "Why are you going to Uncle Lu's house?"

"Uncle Lu bought a small flying saucer, and he said he would take me to fly it with him!"

"Then go ahead."

While they were talking, the mother and daughter walked to a small stall selling snacks. Zhou Huilan was talking to the proprietress when she was suddenly attracted by the sound of a horn.

It was a silver car parked on the side of the road and kept honking its horn.

Zhou Huilan subconsciously pulled Yaoyao closer to her and saw the window of the car on the side of the road slowly lowering.

"Yao Yao! Get in the car quickly!"

"Uncle Lu!" Yaoyao was small and saw Lu Changqing in the car at a glance. She was about to rush forward in excitement, but was pulled back by Zhou Huilan.

"Why are you rushing? It's so dangerous on this road!"

Hearing this, Yaoyao stuck out her tongue playfully and pointed to the car, "Mom, that's Uncle Lu, look at it!"

Zhou Huilan then bent down and was surprised when she saw Lu Changqing sitting in the driver's seat, "Can you drive? Whose car is this?"

Standing on the side, you can't tell what brand it is, but the car is definitely a high-end luxury product in this day and age.

After all, buying a car these days costs hundreds of thousands, and buying a house only costs tens of thousands.

"My friend's car, come on, I'll take you back!" Lu Changqing said. Seeing that Zhou Huilan didn't move, he simply opened the car door and ran out. He directly opened the door of the back seat of the car and invited the mother and daughter into the car. "Today

All the taxi drivers on the street are on holiday, and it’s hard for you to take a taxi, so I asked a friend to borrow a car."

This is true. It's New Year's Eve and taxis have to take a holiday.

But Zhou Huilan was not in a hurry to get in the car, "I have to buy a few things. It doesn't look good to go back empty-handed."

"I've bought everything, let's go, let's go. If you come back later, I won't let you out!"

Zhou Huilan is not worried about this. After all, Zhou Zhenhai has a temper that is always slapping the table and staring. As long as she doesn't submit, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

After getting in the car, Zhou Huilan saw something placed on the passenger side.

Lu Changqing prepared all high-end gift boxes, the kind that he liked but didn't use, such as ginseng slices and honey.

Zhou Huilan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I didn't expect that you would prepare these things. Do you Chinese doctors believe in these?"

"Of course I don't believe it, but when giving gifts, of course you have to cater to the recipient's preferences. Don't all the elderly like this now?"

While shocked, Zhou Huilan also discovered that not only did Lu Changqing drive a car today, but his hair was also very straight, and his clothes were all unworn. This must have been done on purpose.

Zhou Huilan couldn't help but laugh, but she deliberately teased Lu Changqing with a straight face, "You are so serious, are you planning to formally meet my father-in-law?"

"Isn't it possible?" Lu Changqing drove the car with a proud look on his face.

Zhou Huilan wanted to laugh, but she felt astringent in her heart, "Why are you going to see him? He won't say anything nice. I will take Yaoyao in for a walk and then come out. You can just wait for us on the roadside for a while."

"Really...don't you need me to go in?" Lu Changqing was obviously a little disappointed.

But thinking of Zhou Zhenhai's posture and what he said a few days ago, Zhou Huilan still shook her head firmly, "No need."

There were no people on the street and cars were driving very fast.

When they arrived at the dormitory, Zhou Huilan picked up the things prepared by Lu Changqing and went in with Yaoyao.

It's already New Year's Eve, and everyone who should go home has already returned. Walking on the streets of the rest house, you can already feel the rare excitement.

Children setting off firecrackers, adults pasting Spring Festival couplets, and people setting up ladders to hang lanterns. Although rows of lanterns have been hung on the trees on the roadside, there are some things that you have to do yourself to feel them.

atmosphere.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, Zhou Huilan led Yaoyao and opened the door of Zhou's courtyard.

Different from the bustle on the street, the courtyard was deserted.

As soon as she entered the door, Yaoyao shouted "Grandpa". She heard Zhou Zhenhai's response in the room from a distance. Seeing him walking out quickly and grabbing Yaoyao, Zhou Huilan's lingering thought...

It came to my mind again.

It's not that Zhou Zhenhai doesn't care about others, it's just that he can pamper Yaoyao and indulge Wang Jianye, but he is extremely harsh on his own children. Apart from finding trouble in every possible way, he doesn't show any care at all.

"Mom! Come in quickly!"

Hearing her daughter calling her, Zhou Huilan took a long breath and followed her in with her things.

There was a bit more New Year's atmosphere in the room than in the yard. There were melon seed candies on the table. Zhou Zhenhai also took a doll that was half as tall as Yaoyao and gave it to Yaoyao with a doting look on his face.

Hu Manxiang came up to greet her, and Zhou Huilan thanked her and directly took the gift boxes and placed them on the open space in the house.

Then she ignored Hu Manxiang's kindness to sit on the sofa and sat directly at the dining table.

"It's cold outside, drink some hot tea. Your dad told me to make it in advance." Hu Manxiang brought over a cup of tea.

Zhou Huilan mechanically twitched the corner of her mouth, which was considered a courtesy.

It was a bit cold after sitting in the car with the engine turned off for a long time. Lu Changqing unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, stretched his arms and legs, and felt much more comfortable all over.

At first I didn't think the wait had been long, but looking at the watch, it turned out that it had been more than an hour since Chow Huilan entered.

When she went in just now, Chow Huilan specifically said that it would only take half an hour at most. Why didn't she come out after so long?

Lu Changqing was a little strange, but then he thought about it. Although the father and daughter had conflicts, they were biological father and daughter after all. Maybe if they sat down and talked about it, the conflict would be resolved.

He walked around the car a few times, and then got into the car again when his whole body felt warm.

Not long after he sat down, he saw a black Santana drive into the dormitory. The guard on duty saluted the driver very politely.

Others can enter, but he cannot. Lu Changqing pursed his lips sourly.

But he waited for another hour, and Zhou Huilan still hadn't come out.

Seeing that it's getting dark, I agreed to go back to make dumplings with Granny Duan and have a New Year's dinner together in the evening. Can I go back now?

Lu Changqing simply parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the rest house.
