Chapter 331: Foreign Son-in-law Celebrates the "New Year"
In the days that followed, Austin became noticeably busy.
On several occasions, when he returned to the Easter River apartment, it was already after eleven o'clock in the night.
As for Pei Pei, she also tried not to add trouble to her husband during this time, and became a qualified and virtuous little wife - when her husband came home late at night, she prepared supper for her husband in advance. Moreover, every time she had a supper, she also added space spirit spring water and various diluted health tonics produced by the space.
Especially at breakfast every day, Pei Pei began to pay more and more attention to the physical health of Austin.
In addition to brewing the coffee for breakfast every day, she also specially prepared a box of "strengthening pills" and stuffed them into Austin's briefcase, which was called an ancient Chinese tonic for strengthening the body, and asked her husband to swallow one every morning and evening.
Austin is still quite convinced of his wife's research in the field of Chinese medicine!
(Insert a digression - long before Austin met his wife, he had already become a loyal consumer of "Kangmei health medicine" at the recommendation of friends in the same circle.) After Austin and Pei Pei got married, the health supplements that Pei Pei prepared for Austin as his wife were no longer the ordinary road goods that could be bought in the supermarket, but all of them were replaced by health care pills that were prepared separately for the family. οΌ
Therefore, for his wife to come up with a new pill-type tonic medicine, Austin accepted it without any resistance.
It is precisely because of the health support given by his wife that Austin was able to maintain his energetic and radiant appearance every day for more than half a month and less than five hours of sleep every night.

Time passed day by day in a hectic way
Unconsciously. The calendar flipped to the 5th of February in '08.
Prior to this, Peipei's assistant Ruixi had already called her boss to report on her workβthe voluntary tax declaration work of "Pell Biomedical Company" and "Xiaoquanshan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company" under Peipei's name had finally been completed.
According to the thinking and habits of Peipei, a Chinese boss, starting from February 6, all employees of "Pell Biomedical Company" and "Xiaoquanshan Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Company" (except for the security department) will have a three-day holiday to welcome the upcoming Lunar New Year.
The Chinese New Year's Eve of 08 is tomorrow, February 6.
Pei Pei and Austin, a young couple, agreed with Li's father early in the morning that they would rush back to Li's house in Los Angeles to accompany everyone in the Li family to celebrate the traditional Lunar New Year that has been passed down in the Chinese for thousands of years.
At around 2:40 p.m. on Feb. 6, the giant shark in which Pei Pei and Austin were flying finally arrived at Long Beach Airport in Los Angeles. Then I got into Uncle Ham's car, which was about half past three in the afternoon. Returned to the Lee family's mansion in Malibu.
Austin: This is the first time to participate in the traditional Chinese "New Year" custom as a Chinese son-in-law!
As soon as I entered the Li house. As far as the eye can see, it makes him feel so new.
In order to let Austin, the old beautiful son-in-law, feel a Lunar New Year with traditional Chinese characteristics, the entire Li family mansion at this time started from the way to the door, and it was full of colorful lights and red costumes.
The red lanterns bought from the Chinese supermarket have been hanging high all the way from the front yard. It stretches all the way to the entrance of the main house.
on every lamppost in the flower beds. There are also bright red inverted "Fu" characters and paper-cut pictures that symbolize various meanings and represent festivity and auspiciousness.
The couple had just walked through the door of the main house. He was greeted by Dad Li's kind smile and greetings.
"Daddy, where's my master?" After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Pei Pei motioned for Uncle Ham to help carry their luggage upstairs. He looked around.
"Old man Peng and your grandfather are playing chess in the study right now." After Li Chenghua answered his daughter's question with a smile, he patted his son-in-law on the shoulder, beckoned his son-in-law to follow him, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Immediately after, the old lady walked out of the kitchen with a tray with a smile.
The tray was filled with trays of Chinese-style snacks such as melon seeds, raisins, longevity fruits, walnuts, beef jerky, and more.
"You're tired from a few hours on the plane, aren't you?" After the old lady put the tray in front of her grandson-in-law, she looked at the handsome grandson-in-law with a smile, and then turned her head and greeted Aunt Qin behind her: "Ah Qin, make a pot of coffee for our eldest aunt and bring it out!" β
After Aunt Qin said "hey", she walked to the kitchen with a smile.
"Brother, what about them?" After Pei Pei took her grandmother's hand and sat down, she asked casually.
"They're all just playing computer games! Dinner starts at 7 o'clock in the evening, do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while? The old lady stroked her granddaughter's cheek and greeted with concern.
Pei Pei didn't feel tired at all, but when she thought that Austin had only slept for four or five hours last night, she was a little worried about whether Austin would survive the vigil after dinner. So, after hesitantly glancing at her husband beside her, she quietly asked, "Do you want to go back to the room to freshen up first, and then rest for a while before going downstairs?" β
Austin immediately nodded, said "unaccompanied" to his father-in-law, and took his wife to walk towards the stairs together.
Although Pei Pei has already spilled the water from her married daughter, her original bedroom on the third floor has always remained the same as when she was not married.
The couple had already discussed before they came, starting from tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve and until the second day of the new year (the custom of returning to their mother's home), they had been living in the Li Mansion and not returning to Yashan Manor.
Therefore, the boudoir before Pei Pei got married had been cleaned by Aunt Qin long before they came, and they were waiting for them to come back and move in.
After the couple returned to the room to freshen up and change into their home clothes, Pei Pei asked her husband, "Aren't you going to rest for a while?" β
Austin shook his head and said, "No need, I'm in good spirits after taking a shower!" And I just wanted to talk to your father about Kangmei's listing. β
- It's the New Year, and I don't forget to talk about work! Alas~~~
Pei Pei shook her head helplessly, and went downstairs with her husband. (To be continued......)
