Chapter 1182 60 Girlfriend Control Group 46

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, wash away the dirt.

Everyone in the family, from the old to the young, took a comfortable hot bath.

After taking a shower, Zhu Bin felt relaxed and comfortable.

But at this time, the house still looked gray and there was no New Year atmosphere.

By the 12th or 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu's mother, Yang Dan and Zhu Zhen stayed in the kitchen almost the entire day, preparing meals for New Year's Eve.

Fry the melon seeds, boil the spiced peanuts, and cook the pickled bacon and sausages.

Making dumplings, glutinous rice balls, buns, and steamed buns, all of these can be prepared in advance.

The candies and biscuits that Zhu Bin bought were put into a fruit plate, and Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" were also pasted on the door frame with the help of him and Zhu Xile.

The whole family was busy with their own things. Su Yan used extra red paper to wrap red envelopes. There was 20 cents in each red envelope. These were New Year's greetings for the children of several cousins.

As for Yang Dan's four children, she planned to give each of them 50 cents.

Other families are also very busy, so no one will care if there is any smell of meat at this time.

Throughout the year, there are only two days when we can eat something good, and no one will question why other families have meat to eat.

It would be strange if there was no meat to eat.

Zheng Chenggong came to Zhu's house to thank Zhu Bin on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

He brought two kilograms of fruit candy and one kilogram of egg cake.

He thought that such a thank-you gift was already very valuable, but when he entered the main hall of the Zhu family, he found that the candy on the table was the same as the one he was holding in his hand.

Not only that, there are not only fruit candies, but also peanut candies and corn candies.

The most surprising thing is that there was a plate of tangerines on the table. These were very expensive in the supply and marketing cooperative, at least 80 or 90 cents per pound. How could the Zhu family be willing to buy them?

Not to mention the fruits and candies, there was also a plate of peanuts and melon seeds. These snacks alone took up half of the table.

Seeing that he was staring at the things on the table, Zhu Bin handed him an orange and asked him to sit down.

Zheng Cheng quickly declined, put the gift in his hand on the table, and thanked him: "Thank you so much for the past two days. You saved Yuwei and my child. I really don't know how to thank you."

Zhu Bin said calmly: "Don't be so polite. We are from the same village. Human lives are at stake. I will definitely help if I can."

Zheng Cheng originally had no intention of taking out the red envelope in his arms. He had wrapped the red envelope before just in case the other party asked for it, he could take it out later.

But now, Zhu Bin obviously didn't care whether he was grateful to him or not, and he felt that he had to show some appreciation.

"This is a little gift from me, take it."

Zhu Bin quickly returned the red envelope: "Don't be like this, I didn't help you for your thank-you gift, take it back quickly."

Zheng Cheng: "How can I feel at ease if you don't accept it? You should accept it."

Zhu Bin: "Take it back. If I say I won't accept it, I really won't accept it."

Zheng Cheng advised again: "Take it and let everyone have a good New Year."

It would have been fine if Zheng Cheng hadn't said this. Once he said it, it seemed as if Zhu Bin had no money to support his family, which immediately made Zhu Bin very angry.

Zhu Bin resolutely returned the red envelope to Zheng Cheng and said sternly: "Take it back, or I will be angry. My family will not live better because I took this red envelope. On the contrary, they will think that I am greedy for your thank-you gift. Are you trying to put me in an unfair position?"

Zheng Cheng: "This, this is really not what I meant. I just want to thank you."

Zhu Bin: "I have received your thanks, but I don't need to give you anything extra. We are from the same village, so it's just a small favor."

Seeing that Zhu Bin was really angry, Zheng Cheng stopped pushing him around.

Finally he put down the candy and a pound of eggs.

Zhu Bin did not refuse and said, "Okay, I accept your thank you gift. These are enough. You should go back soon. It's so cold and the snow is thick. It will be even harder to go back later."

Zheng Cheng smiled, thanked again and again, and then left the Zhu family.

Just when he was leaving, he saw Su Yan coming out holding Xiaobao. The mother and daughter were wearing the same bright red new clothes. They looked just like the Fuwa and fairies in the New Year pictures.

Su Yan saw him and asked with a smile: "Are you leaving now?"

Zheng Cheng: "Well, Yuwei is still waiting for me to take care of her at home, so I won't delay your family's meal."

Su Yan: "Then drive slowly on the road."

Zheng Cheng was dazzled by Su Yan's smile and hurriedly opened the door and walked out.

Su Yan saw his panic and looked at Zhu Bin beside him: "He is very anxious."

Zhu Bin hummed calmly, then looked at her new clothes and Xiaobao's new clothes, and couldn't help but praise them: "They look great."

Su Yan smiled and said, "This is called mother-daughter outfit. Xiaobao and I will wear this tomorrow. We should wear something festive during the Chinese New Year. This way, we will have a prosperous new year."

Zhu Bin smiled and nodded, "Yes, you can tell you are mother and daughter when you wear them like this, it's great, festive and cute."

There was uncontrollable envy and a little disappointment in his words.

They have mother-daughter outfits, but what about him?

Su Yan saw his desire and deliberately said, "By the way, the hairpin I gave to Xiaobao fell on the bed. Go and get it out for me. I'll put it on her to see if it looks good."

Zhu Bin: “Oh.”

But when he went to look for it on the kang, there was no hairpin there. Instead, he saw a cotton-padded jacket made of black fabric with a red lining and piping.

Moreover, he had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that the red piping had the same texture as the fabric used by Su Yan and her daughter.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and then he foolishly took the cotton coat and ran to the main room and asked, "Is this coat made for me?"

Everyone in the room looked at him. Su Yan coughed and then hummed.

As a result, Zhu Bin immediately took off his coat and changed his clothes here without paying attention to the people in the room staring at him.

Zhu's mother even laughed and scolded: "Beggars have never seen rotten porridge. What are you going to wear tomorrow? It's already late at night. Why are you in a hurry to change into clothes?"

Zhu Bin ignored his mother and continued to change happily.

After changing clothes, she stood next to Su Yan and Xiao Bao, and asked Zhu Zhen with a silly look on her face: "Can you tell that we are a family?"

Zhu Zhen replied with a somewhat indescribable expression: "I can see that, who doesn't know that you are a family?"

Yang Dan also said curiously: "That's right, who doesn't know that you are a couple?"

Zhu Bin smiled and said, "No, I mean, just by looking at our clothes, can you tell that we are from the same family?"

Everyone then took a closer look at the clothes the family of three were wearing. It was true. Although Zhu Bin's clothes were mainly black, it could be seen from the piping and cuffs of the collar and sleeves that they were made of the same fabric as the clothes worn by Su Yan and Xiaobao.

Zhu Zhen explained to everyone: "This is what my sister-in-law said about parent-child outfits. It really is clear at first glance that they are a family."

Zhu Xile looked at Yang Dan with some resentment, and Yang Dan immediately shot back: "What are you looking at? It's good enough to have new clothes for you to wear. Don't think about anything else."

Zhu Xile said with a wronged look on his face: "I didn't say anything, I just think that sister-in-law's design is very beautiful."

Yang Dan: "Humph, as soon as you move your butt, I know what you are thinking. I am not as good as my sister-in-law in craftsmanship. Besides, don't you see how many people there are in the family? I am lucky enough to give everyone a new dress, and I am even thinking of embroidering a flower for you."

Zhu Xile cried out that he was wronged. It was just a thought that occurred to him and he didn’t say anything.

Father Zhu coughed to remind everyone that it was time to eat.

Su Yan smiled and carried Xiaobao back to the room to change clothes. She and Xiaobao came out just to try out the clothes and had no plan to wear them today.

Zhu Bin also followed the mother and daughter with a smile on his face, almost breaking from laughter.

Mother Zhu laughed and said, "I just can't bear to see him being so useless."

Zhu Zhen also smiled and said, "Brother, you finally see the moon after waiting for the clouds to clear. You know that sister-in-law cares about him."

Zhu Xile: "Don't mention it. If they walk out like this, they will definitely become a scenic spot in the village."

Yang Dan: "When my sister-in-law started doing it, I wanted to follow her, but unfortunately I only had the energy to do it for my children."

Zhu Xile comforted him, "It's okay, we can do it together next time."

Yang Dan: “Hehe…”
