After several days of continuous rain, the already cold winter temperature dropped sharply, Lin Chu sat on the chair on the windowsill, looking at the dripping rain wetting the glass windows, and remembered He Li's recent encounter.

He Li's mother-in-law Wu Aihua went to the hospital to deliver dinner to her son Chen Zhen at night, but unexpectedly saw the nurse hired by Lin Chu, and this nurse was not only responsible for laundry and cooking, but also went to get medicine and other matters.

Wu Aihua saw that her daughter-in-law could still enjoy such a high treatment when she was hospitalized, and suddenly her eyes were a little red, and when she saw that her son had to stay with He Li after work, she was even more unwilling, thinking that He Li had delayed her son's work to make money.

That day, Wu Aihua said to her husband in front of He Li: "Son, although my mother can understand that you care about He Li now, and come to this hospital to spend the night with her every night, but you are the pillar of the whole family, you not only delay He Li's rest, but also hurt your body, anyway, there are nurses to take care of He Li at any time, so you don't have to run to the hospital every day." ”

He Li knew that her mother-in-law cared about her son, but this sound made her feel uncomfortable, Chen Zhen looked at her mother in embarrassment, and finally said to He Li: "Wife, what my mother said is also reasonable, I will come to see you when I have time in the future, you can call me at any time if you have anything, if I am not busy, I will reply to your message." ”

He Li's throat was bitter and unbearable, as soon as her husband left, it seemed that she had become a drag bottle for the whole family, and she was coldly abandoned in the hospital, but she had to be a sensible and virtuous wife, so she pretended to smile and nodded: "Yes, my mother-in-law is right, husband, you run back and forth between the hospital and the company, but it hurts the body, I will cultivate myself well and return home as soon as possible." ”

At the suggestion of his mother-in-law, Chen Zhen went from visiting her in the hospital twice in three days to every three days, and finally could only come occasionally on weekends.

He Li often sent messages to her husband asking about her work and living situation, and Chen Zhen always reported what he did every day at first, and then it took a long time to reply with perfunctory words such as "oh", "um", and "good".

He Li didn't understand how this marriage had come to this point? Why did her husband, who originally loved her, treat her so coldly? Is it really because she has become a waste person who needs to be taken care of by the whole family?

Chen Zhen came to the hospital less and less, and the only person He Li could confide in was Lin Chu, who was a qualified listener, although he couldn't help He Li much, but he also did her best to accompany her.

January 26 is the most lively day of the year, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The family gathers together in a reunion, chatting about the bittersweet and bitter of the year, and then setting off firecrackers to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and watch the gala, this happiness is enough.

Lin Chu began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner early in the morning, and the rich and colorful dishes were placed on the table, and Lin Yuze and Fu Tianyang were also fighting, because this was a special Chinese New Year's Eve, not only the three of them, but also Zhen Qiaoqiao and Zheng Yiming accompanied.

Zhen Qiaoqiao did not return to her hometown for the New Year, Zhen's father and Zhen's mother only had that son in their eyes, regardless of her, she was also used to spending this day outside, but this year was different, she is now Zheng Yiming's girlfriend, so at the invitation of him and Mrs. Zheng, Zhen Qiaoqiao went with him to the Zheng family's old house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

And after they finished eating, they came to Fu Tianyang's villa, which was also the scene that Lin Chu wanted to see, the three of them were still a little lonely when they ate, and with Zheng Yiming and Zhen Qiaoqiao joining, it was really lively and interesting.

Since the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers has been incessant, far and near, wafting in the ears.

After cooking the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the sky was getting dark, and while Zheng Yiming and Zhen Qiaoqiao had not yet arrived, Lin Chu thought about the smell of fireworks, so he also went to take a bath and changed into new clothes to receive them.

After bathing, she was wearing pajamas, her hair was so wet that it was wrapped in a towel, and when she was about to go to the dresser to comb her hair, Fu Tianyang, who was also about to change into new clothes, walked in.

"Why hasn't your hair been blown yet? It's not good to catch a cold during the New Year. Fu Tianyang's worried words came from the door, and then his tall figure had already come to Lin Chu's side.

Lin Chu smiled, just being a man is making a fuss, and replied: "It's not that the heating is not turned on in the room, and I want to wait for my hair to dry a little more before blowing, it won't get in the way, you go and do your business first." ”

"Nope." Fu Tianyang's attitude was very resolute, and he took Lin Chu to the dresser and asked her to sit quietly on the stool.

Under Lin Chu's surprised gaze, Fu Tianyang took out the hair dryer from the drawer, took off the towel that wrapped her wet hair, and gently blew it with the hot air stall of the hair dryer while combing her soft and smooth long hair.

Fu Tianyang's technique was extremely gentle, and his figure was illuminated by the warm yellow light in the room, as if there was a soft halo around him, which made Lin Chu couldn't help but look in a trance.

In the mirror is the reflection of the man's beauty and firmness, his slender and white fingers lingering in her hair, and the hot air from the hair dryer occasionally blows on her face, warm and comfortable, making her close her eyes a little comfortably and almost fall asleep.

"Okay, you must blow dry your hair in time after washing it in the future, you forgot that the last time you were careless the night before, you didn't dry your hair, you slept all night staring at wet hair, and the next morning you caught a cold, and you ate it for several days." Fu Tianyang put down the hair dryer and nagged in Lin Chu's ear like an old mother.

Lin Chu chuckled lightly and asked suspiciously, "Is there one?" I've forgotten about it, but I must have forgotten to blow my hair because I was so tired that night, but you remember it so clearly. ”17

Fu Tianyang didn't think it was a funny thing, his fingers knocked twice on Lin Chu's head, expressing the man's dissatisfaction, and then said loudly: "Go change your clothes, it is estimated that they are already on their way over." ”

Lin Chu responded, went to the cloakroom and changed into a light pink cheongsam with a white fluffy collar on the leader's mouth, and the split skirt was hand-embroidered with gold and silver threads, outlining a phoenix climbing on a peony.

Fu Tianyang likes her very much to wear a Chinese-style cheongsam, which perfectly outlines her graceful and curvy figure, so he specially asked a famous artist to draw this phoenix picture, and found a special craftsman to make this cheongsam and spent a month embroidering it by hand.

Although Fu Tianyang didn't treat Lin Chu for these things, he just gave the cheongsam to Lin Chu as a New Year's gift, but Lin Chu is not stupid, he can see the preciousness of the clothes, and he can see the rarity of this heart.

When Lin Chu walked out of the cloakroom with his clothes on, the eyes of the man who had been waiting at the door were full of envy, her beauty, he knew it, but the changes of the years were only sublimating her appearance.

"What's wrong with you? Stunned? Is it nice or ugly? Lin Chu saw that the man's expression was sluggish, walked in front of him, raised his hand and shook his eyes, puzzled, she didn't know what the man was thinking at the moment.

Fu Tianyang also changed into a suit carefully selected by Lin Chu, in Lin Chu's eyes, he is a natural hanger, he looks good in everything, especially suits and leather shoes, which can carve a man's maturity and stability carefully.

"Of course it's beautiful." The corners of Fu Tianyang's thin lips rose, and he said clearly: "I don't look at whose wife is wearing the clothes that he chose." ”

"Sell yourself and boast!" Lin Chu lifted his lips and smiled.

After a while, Zheng Yiming and Zhen Qiaoqiao hurriedly arrived, both of them wearing couple cotton clothes, with a joyful smile on their faces.

Zheng Yiming was holding wine in his hand, Zhen Qiaoqiao was carrying a gift, and the two said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's time to eat." ”

Lin Chu also smiled, took Zhen Qiaoqiao's gift, and said, "The dish has just been served on the table, I'll let Xiao Ze go to the yard to set off firecrackers." ”

Zheng Yiming hurriedly said: "I'll go with Xiao Ze." ”

Zhen Qiaoqiao also coaxed to follow, and finally Fu Tianyang and the four of them had to accompany Lin Yuze to set off firecrackers.

Lin Yuze put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at the childish behavior of these adults, and said funny: "Who is the child?" ”

After the firecrackers were set off, the five of them sat around the dining table, Zheng Yiming opened the wine bottle and was about to pour the wine one by one, when it was Lin Yuze's turn, Lin Chu stopped and said: "Xiao Ze is still in school, it's still early to drink, it's not good." ”

Zheng Yiming squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "Ozawa is eighteen years old this year, right?" ”

Lin Chu replied: "I will be eighteen after the New Year." ”

Zheng Yiming laughed and said: "That's not right, it's time to drink some wine at the age of eighteen, it also happens to celebrate Ozawa's eighteen-year-old adulthood, and if he can't drink after graduating from high school and going to college, he will definitely be bullied!" ”

Under Zheng Yiming's persuasion, Lin Chu had no choice but to agree that he poured a cup for Lin Yuze, and the protagonist was bending his eyes and grinning at the moment, and secretly made a "yes" gesture to Zheng Yiming, who also blinked his eyes and smiled to indicate that the plan was clear.

At the dinner table, everyone chatted about New Year's wishes and New Year's plans, and Lin Yuze, who had drunk a little wine, became chatty, and talked happily with the half-drunk Zheng Yiming brotherhood.

"At first glance, I thought you were a sven and old-fashioned man, but I didn't expect you to be a very chatty friend!" Lin Yuze said with a red face.

Zheng Yiming was also slightly drunk, his fair cheeks were slightly red, and he replied with a smile: "I also think that you are a little ghost who likes to tell bad jokes and has a bad personality, but you are indeed a mature, calm and sensible big boy, in some aspects, I am not even as good as you as a child." ”

One big and one small praised each other, which caused Lin Chu to laugh again and again.

"Let's welcome the new year! All the best for the new year! Cheers! Zhen Qiaoqiao raised her glass and said with great interest.

Even though there have been many things that have not gone well in the past year, on this day, everyone will forget the bad past and turn their hopes to the new year.
