On Chinese New Year's Eve, every family celebrates the New Year, and after twelve o'clock, they will eat dumplings according to custom. Mu Liang stood in the kitchen, holding the curtain with both hands, and there were wrapped dumplings stacked on top of it, all of which were almost the same size.

"Cook more mackerel filling," Mu Liang pouted, feeling hungry again. She liked her mother's dumplings the most, but she thought of something and advised: "Mom, you cook some vegan ones in the pot, Fu Jinchen doesn't eat seafood." ”

"I know it." Cai Yongfen glanced at her daughter's attentive appearance, and her eyes moved slightly. She nudged the fence in her hand and asked her with concern: "Liangliang, are you doing in the Fu family?" Got used to it? ”

"Well," Mu Liang nodded, "It's much better than when I first went." ”

Hearing her say this, Cai Yongfen was finally relieved. Although her daughter has lost some weight when she goes home this time, she looks good and should be quite comfortable in the Fu family.

"The dumplings are cooked." Cai Yongfen's movements were very quick, she put the freshly cooked dumplings on the plate, handed them to her daughter, and said, "You eat first, don't wait for me." ”

Mu Liang came out with a plate, quickly put it on the table, and shouted, "Mu Yi, go get the dishes and chopsticks, get the vinegar!" ”

"Oh." Mu Yi put away his phone and walked into the kitchen with a disappointed expression.

Catching a glimpse of his expression out of the corner of his eye, Mu Liang couldn't help frowning. But her father was sitting on the side, and she couldn't tell it, and the anger in her heart gradually rose.

"What about Jin Chen?" Mu Zhannian saw the hot dumplings on the table and was busy looking for his son-in-law.

Mu Liang took a look and found that Fu Jinchen was not in the house. They just came back together, and he said to answer the phone, hasn't this call been answered yet?

Mu Yi brought the dishes and chopsticks, Mu Liang put them in front of his father, and said, "You eat first, I'll go outside and have a look." ”

After the words fell, she walked quickly to the door, and sure enough, she saw the man standing in front of the car. She knocked on the glass, but Fu Jinchen stood with his back to her, holding the phone in his hand, as if he didn't hear a sound.

"Who are you calling?" Mu Liang pursed his lips, pushed open the door and walked out. The cold wind was blowing outside, and she didn't wear a coat, but walked towards him with her shoulders hunched.

Fu Jinchen was wearing a black coat, tilting his head slightly, and his thin lips were lightly pursed into a straight line. Mu Liang glanced at his side face and didn't see him speak, but his expression was very serious, not angry or smiling, and his dark eyes were stunning.

Deliberately slowing his steps, Mu Liang quietly walked behind him, wanting to scare him. Every time she was scared, this time it should be her turn to attack.

"Hey—"

Mu Liang slapped him on the shoulder hard, Fu Jinchen's hand holding the phone shook, and he turned his face in surprise, and there was obviously a trace of panic in his deep eyes.

"Scareless, huh?" Mu Liang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and crossed his hands on his hips.

Fu Jinchen's thin lips instantly tightened, and he hesitated for a few seconds before remembering that he was still holding his mobile phone. Mu Liang followed his gaze, and saw that the mobile phone he was holding was still on the phone, and asked casually, "Who are you talking to?" ”

The man frowned, raised his hand and hung up the phone.

Before ending the call, Mu Liang clearly heard the woman's voice coming from the microphone. I don't know if it's because women are naturally sensitive, or if Mu Liang's hearing is too keen, but she can hear the subtle, even inaudible voice.

The soft call on the phone just now, as well as the intimate word 'Jin Chen', was like a thunderbolt, which woke her up in an instant.

"Nothing." Fu Jinchen put the phone back in his pocket and slowly calmed down. He glanced at the thin sweater on Mu Liang's body, frowned, and said, "How did you come out?" ”

"Eat dumplings." Mu Liang lowered his gaze, dodged his outstretched hand, and turned to walk into the house.

Fu Jinchen looked at her stupidly and turned around, and hurriedly followed.

As soon as he entered the house, Cai Yongfen came out with dumplings, and when he saw them, he smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat while it's hot." She specially cooked vegan dumplings and greeted her son-in-law.

"Xie Lu, Xie Ma." Fu Jinchen washed his hands, pulled out a chair and sat down. He glanced at the people around him and asked her with a smile, "Have you washed your hands?" ”

Mu Liang stared down at the dumplings in the bowl and ignored him.

It's rare that she can be free and casual at home, Fu Jinchen didn't say any more, picked up chopsticks and started eating dumplings. The dumplings taste very good, much more fragrant than the ones he ate at home in previous years.

"I'm full." Mu Liang put down his chopsticks, "Go to sleep first when you're sleepy." ”

"Eat so little?" Cai Yongfen was slightly surprised.

"I ate too much for dinner, and I haven't digested it yet." Mu Liang didn't look back, and went back to his bedroom.

Mu Zhannian thought that her daughter was going home after a day of tossing and was tired, so she told her wife: "Leave it for her, fry it tomorrow morning, Liangliang loves to eat it." ”

"Stay, stay." Cai Yongfen chuckled, and had already set aside what he would eat tomorrow morning.

Mu Yi kept eating dumplings with his head bored, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking, and he didn't interject.

The whole plate of vegetarian dumplings was almost eaten by Fu Jinchen. When he saw Mu Liang returning to the room, he took the initiative to help Cai Yongfen take the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen. He then went to the bathroom to wash up before returning to the bedroom.

There was no light on in the bedroom, and Mu Liang was already lying under the covers, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Asleep?" Fu Jinchen sat on the edge of the bed in the dark, almost tripping over the bench under his feet. He slid his phone off and lit it up before finding his pajamas to change into.

Why don't you turn on the light for him?

Fu Jinchen pursed his lips, and saw that Mu Liang was lying on the bed and didn't move, thinking that she was really tired, so she fell asleep. After changing his clothes, he lifted the quilt and went to bed, and turned his head to look at the person next to him, and saw that she had her eyes closed and breathing evenly.

Reaching out to tuck the quilt for her, Fu Jinchen also slipped into the quilt, his expression silent. He put his hands behind his head, and his dark eyes were like deep pools, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

Five years ago.

At that time, he was studying in Vancouver, and there was so much homework to prepare for that winter vacation that year, so he didn't go home and stayed in Canada for the New Year. He still remembers that night when he was hungry and suddenly wanted to eat hot dumplings, he drove out of his apartment and went to the city center to find a Chinese restaurant.

Parking the car near the central square, Fu Jinchen planned to take a walk to the restaurant opposite. That night was China's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese spontaneous celebration performance in the central square. As he passed through the crowd, he unconsciously slowed down, and even stood in the crowd with his hands in his pockets to watch.

The shows are all organized by amateurs, and they are not very elaborate, but because the content of the performance can ease Fu Jinchen's sense of loss in a foreign land. He doesn't usually like to join in the fun, but that night he stood in the crowd for a long time and didn't want to leave.

There was warm applause around him, and the corners of Fu Jinchen's pursed lips moved. He stretched out his hands and clapped gently, his eyes casually slid across the crowd, but he was surprised to see a pair of bright black eyes.

Not far away, the girl standing with bright eyes and bright teeth. She was wearing a thick red down jacket and stood in the crowd, highlighting her delicate and small facial features, a kind of oriental classical beauty.

Fu Jinchen was stunned, at that moment, he only felt that she was standing in the blond crowd, and her black eyes were particularly conspicuous, making his heart throb irrepressibly.

The people around him rolled over and quickly turned back again. Fu Jinchen reached out and tucked the quilt that she had scattered under his shoulders, and his frowning brows relaxed.

It turns out that time flies so quickly, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's a pity that since Shu Yunge left three years ago, every time this day comes, Fu Jinchen doesn't want to think of those past events anymore.

With his back to his body, Mu Liang heard Fu Jinchen's low sigh, his eyes couldn't help but sink, and his delicate brows were tightly locked.

The next morning, just after dawn, Fu Jinchen dragged Mu Liang up.

"Wake up." Fu Jinchen reached out and clasped her waist, and put clothes on her body with quick movements.

Usually Mu Liang gets up very angry, but when she lay down last night, it was late at night, and she hadn't fallen asleep for a long time. I vaguely remembered that it seemed that it was about to dawn before she closed her eyes, but it didn't take long for Fu Jinchen to call her up.

"What are you doing?!" Mu Liang was furious, and a pair of red eyes breathed fire.

Fu Jinchen stretched out his hand to pull her up from the quilt and said, "We have to go home before eight o'clock." ”

"This is my home." Mu Liang's tone was very impulsive, and the anger on his pretty face did not decrease. She was so sleepy, she couldn't open her eyes, and it was so comfortable to lie in the warm bed, so she didn't want to get up.

Fu Jinchen wrapped his hands around her waist, dragged her off the bed, kicked her shoes over, and said, "Clean up, it's too late." ”

"Ahh

Mu Liang pouted and roared, and said irritably: "Go back by yourself!" ”

"What did you say?" Fu Jinchen frowned, and his face sank.

Seeing his gloomy eyes, Mu Liang lowered his head and put on his shoes, opened the door with a cold face and went out to wash his face. Glancing at her reluctant appearance, Fu Jinchen's thin lips pursed lightly, and a smile slipped across the corners of his mouth.

Cai Yongfen knew that they had to go back early, so they got up at five o'clock to prepare breakfast. She fried the dumplings that Mu Liang didn't eat last night in an oil pan, and the aroma of the fried dumplings immediately awakened Mu Liang's appetite.

"Vinegar." Mu Liang didn't care about taking vinegar himself, just muttered in a low voice. In fact, she said it to her mother, but she didn't expect Fu Jinchen to pick up the vinegar bottle, pour it for her, and then put it in front of her.

Mu Liang was stunned, turned his head to look at the man beside him, and quickly looked away again.

"Not awake yet?" Fu Jinchen stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Then you eat quickly and sleep in the car for a while." ”

Cai Yongfen came out with millet porridge, and Mu Liang hurriedly stood up to pick it up, ignoring the man next to him.

After breakfast, Cai Yongfen packed a large bag full of five bags. Fu Jinchen insisted that she had everything at home, but she still brought enough of Yucheng's specialties, for fear of losing her manners.

Mu Zhannian and Mu Yi didn't get up, Mu Zhannian drank a lot last night, so naturally he wouldn't wake up too early, Mu Yi also likes to sleep lazy, Mu Liang didn't let his mother call them.

"Mom!"

Mu Liang stood in the body, stretched out his hand to hug Cai Yongfen, and said, "I still want to stay for a few days." ”

Fu Jinchen's brows sank, and he was about to speak, but Cai Yongfen had already spoken for him, "No, your mother-in-law's family is still waiting, don't be willful!" ”

Cai Yongfen spoke, but Mu Liang didn't dare to say more. Walk to the car with your head down, pull the door open and sit in.

"Mom, don't worry." Fu Jinchen comforted his mother-in-law, turned around and got into the car. When he saw Mu Liang's red eyes, he immediately reacted to the engine, for fear that she would not go back again.

The black Land Rover drove out of the small courtyard, and Cai Yongfen stood outside the door, staring at the car all the time.

Mu Liang leaned sideways, staring at his mother's figure standing against the wind, and his throat was sour and uncomfortable. She knew that her mother was the best mother in the world!

"It's not like you won't go home in the future, why are you crying?" Fu Jinchen caught a glimpse of her reddened eyes and smiled.

Mu Liang glared at him fiercely, and replied: "Fu Jinchen, you must be a woman in your next life, so that you can taste the taste of marrying into someone else's family as a daughter-in-law!" ”

"......" Fu Jinchen was speechless.

Her mood was clearly not right, and she was very volatile. Fu Jinchen knew that she was reluctant to go home, but in fact, he came back twice, and he also had some feelings in his heart. If he grew up in such a family environment, I am afraid that he would also love his family like Mu Liang.

The so-called love family, first of all, in this family, there must be something worthy of our attachment. Although the Mu family is not rich, it is full of the warmth of family affection, and it is still unforgettable.

Fu Jinchen held the steering wheel with both hands, and his eyes darkened. It's a pity that the Fu family will never have this simplicity, let alone bland, he was destined to be in the competition for wealthy families since he was born, and he can't get rid of it in this life!

"We'll be there in an hour, you can sleep." Fu Jinchen drove the car onto the highway and looked at Mu Liang with a gentle gaze.

Leaning back on the seat, Mu Liang answered in a low voice, and then closed his eyes. The speed of the car was not very fast, and it was very stable, originally in this case, Mu Liang would soon be able to find sleep. But this morning, although her eyes were closed, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

There are many things hidden in his head, Mu Liang closed his eyes and didn't open them all the way. Until Fu Jinchen drove the car back to the mansion, the housekeeper greeted him from afar and said, "Fourth young master, fourth young grandmother." ”

"Happy New Year." Fu Jinchen smiled and said softly. He took Mu Liang's hand and led her inside, and at the same time instructed the servants to send everything in the car to the third floor, in their bedroom.

"Mom and Dad!"

Fu Jinchen came back with Mu Liang, and You Chuxiu saw his son come back, and the corners of his mouth immediately swelled with a smile.

They entered the door early in the morning, Fu Dongting nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fell on Mu Liang's face, and asked, "How is the health of the in-laws?" ”

"Good." Mu Liang said truthfully, "My father asked me to bring you wine." ”

"I have a heart." Fu Dongting was very pleased.

"Have you had breakfast?" You Chuxiu asked.

"Eat."

You Chuxiu glanced at Mu Liang's clothes, frowned slightly, and said, "You go and change your clothes first, and the guests at home will arrive in a while." ”

Fu Jinchen answered, took Mu Liang's hand, and the two went upstairs together.

"Brother," Fu Cheng sat on Fu Zheng's lap, blinked his black eyes, and asked him, "You take Cheng Cheng to shoot at night, okay?" ”

Fu Zheng habitually doesn't like to laugh, but he is still very face-saving to Fu Cheng, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, "Okay, let's shoot at night." ”

"Wow, that's great!"

Fu Cheng happily danced with his feet and hands. Fu Dongting looked at his granddaughter with gentle eyes, and was faintly disappointed in his heart. It is said that there are many children and grandchildren, there is only one child in the family, Fu Cheng, and no one plays with her, if there is another grandson or granddaughter, how good it would be!

Back in the bedroom, Fu Jinchen opened the wardrobe and chose a set of clothes and handed them to Mu Liang, and she rarely did not resist and changed obediently.

Stretching out his hand to pull her in front of him, Fu Jinchen stared at her lost expression and asked, "Still homesick?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Liang's voice was muffled.

Fu Jinchen shrugged, lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, "Okay, don't be unhappy, there are a lot of people coming to our family today, you can't let everyone see your cold face, right?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Liang raised his head, squeezed out a smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked him, "Is this okay?" ”

"Ugly!" Fu Jinchen frowned, curled up his fingers in front of her forehead, and said sharply: "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, but don't scare people either!" ”

"Phew—"

Mu Liang covered his head and glared at him, "I just cry, and I look better than those people laughing!" ”

Hey, how narcissistic this is!

Fu Jinchen shook his head and asked her with a smile: "Are you so confident?" ”

Pushing him away, Mu Liang walked to the mirror, raised his face slightly, his fingers slid along his forehead, eyes, and nose, all the way to his red lips, and asked him unconvinced: "You say, where am I not perfect?" ”

Looking at her somewhat willful appearance, Fu Jinchen couldn't help but laugh, she was young in the end, and the charm she occasionally revealed revealed revealed was full of youthful squeamishness, although sometimes she felt quite naïve, but it strangely attracted his attention.

Walking in front of her gently, Fu Jinchen stared at her pink lips and lowered his head to cover them. After he tossed and kissed repeatedly, his deep eyes immediately burst into laughter, "That's perfect!" ”

Mu Liang looked into the glasses and saw that her lips were red like blood, sexy and attractive.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are indeed many people who come to Fu's house to pay New Year's greetings. When Mu Liang went downstairs, You Chuxiu had already changed into a blue and white cheongsam, dignified and elegant.

Mu Liang felt that it was not easy for a woman to maintain such sincerity at her age. Especially her taste in choosing clothes, it is really good, not to mention her own clothes, even the styles of clothes she chose for her in the closet upstairs are very good.

Fu Jinchen wanted to help greet the guests, he bowed his head in Mu Liang's ear, and advised: "There are many relatives in the family, if you don't know anyone, they will call you, don't call you wrong." ”

"I know it." Mu Liang was impatient, thinking that it was not the first time she had dealt with this kind of scene, and she was experienced.

Fu Jinchen was still worried, so he hugged Fu Cheng over and handed it to Mu Liang with his backhand. He bent down and told his niece, "Orange Orange, you teach the fourth aunt for the fourth uncle, if she has someone she doesn't know, you have to tell her." ”

"Good!" At Fu Cheng's age, what do you like to teach people the most, and when she heard Fu Jinchen say this, she was very happy.

"Fu Laosi!"

In the crowd over there, Fu Huanyan was obviously besieged by relatives at home. The third lady of the Fu family is getting older and older, but she hasn't found a suitable person yet, and her relatives can't look at it!

Fu Jinchen's eyes were gloomy, he hated Fu Huanyan calling him this in public, and immediately walked over with a calm face.

Although the scene was huge, most of the people came to talk to Fu Dongting, Mu Liang led Fu Cheng, and tried to find a place with fewer people to hide, but it was relatively quiet.

"Or you're going to find a place."

Suddenly, someone approached behind him. Mu Liang raised his eyebrows and looked over, and saw Fu Zheng's brows tightly locked, obviously also suffering from the headache of those people.

"Brother."

Fu Cheng raised his lips, and his chubby little body moved to the side, making way for him.

Glancing at the noise in the living room, Fu Zheng pursed his lips and walked to the bench and sat down. Mu Liang didn't object, but the expression in his eyes moved. It's been a long time since I've seen Fu Zheng alone, and I don't even have a word to him.

"You've been busy lately." Mu Liang took the initiative to speak.

"Hmm." Fu Zheng's answer will always cherish words like gold.

Mu Liang found that when she chatted with Fu Zheng, she would soon be cold. Basically, if he didn't say a few words, he would have nothing to say because Fu Zheng's aura was too cold.

"Do you do the same at work?" Mu Liang frowned, thinking to himself why this person always had an iceberg face.

"Questions?"

Mu Liang pursed his lips and nodded, "There is a big problem." ”

She stretched out her finger and pointed at Fu Zheng's cheeks and asked him, "You're so serious, aren't you afraid of scaring customers away?" ”

"I'm not a public relations person," Fu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "I don't need to worry about those things." ”

Yes, he is the eldest grandson of the Fu family, and the helmsman of the Fu family in the future naturally doesn't have to do those jobs that look at people's faces! Mu Liang sighed, his tone was deep, "Fu Zheng, you are really good!" ”

Good luck?

Fu Zheng's thin lips moved tightly, "You can change with me." ”

"Huh?" Mu Liang was surprised and immediately refused, "Don't change!" ”

"If it's really good, why don't you change it with me?" Fu Zheng suddenly asked.

Mu Liang was stunned.

Fu Cheng sat between the two of them, looking left and right, swaying his two little fat legs, unable to understand their words at all.

Half-ringing, Fu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he caught a glimpse of the purity in Mu Liang's eyes, and his heart suddenly moved, "If it wasn't for grandpa insisting on letting you marry into the Fu family, would you marry the fourth uncle?" ”

Mu Liang was stunned again, then thought about his question, and his heart sank. If it weren't for the past of Fu Mu's two families, she would probably never have anything to do with a man like Fu Jinchen, let alone get married?!

Looking back now, Mu Liang only felt incredible.

Suddenly, Fu Zheng saw the man coming from the front hall, and stood up. He turned his head, his gaze fell on Mu Liang's face, and said in a deep voice, "I'm in." ”

Mu Liang nodded.

After Fu Jinchen entertained a group of guests, he took the time to come out to see Mu Liang. He walked this way, and in the distance he saw the three men sitting under the tree chatting.

"Fourth uncle." When passing by Fu Jinchen's side, Fu Zheng took the initiative to call someone.

Fu Jinchen's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he glanced at Fu Cheng, who was sitting on Mu Liang's lap, but he didn't say anything. He glanced at Fu Zheng's indifferent expression and told him, "Big brother is looking for you." ”

"I know it." Fu Zheng's tone was as usual, and he strode away.

Fu Jinchen walked under the tree, first took Fu Cheng into his arms, and then pulled Mu Liang to stand up and led them inside, "It's time to eat, you eat in the small kitchen first, there are too many people in the restaurant." ”

"Oh." Mu Liang reached out and took the child, and walked into the small kitchen on the side. The maid had already prepared lunch, Mu Liang asked Fu Cheng to sit beside her, she didn't eat first, but patiently fed the child.

Fu Jinchen stood outside the small kitchen before turning around and returning to the living room.

On the first day of the new year, from morning to evening, the guests of the Fu family have not been interrupted. Mu Liang didn't have to do anything, but his cheeks were sour with a smiling face.

finally stayed up until the night when the guests were gone, and Mu Liang fell asleep on the bed.

In the following days, the Fu family still had a lot of guests coming to the door every day. Mu Liang finally felt that her previous decision was wrong, why should she go to work earlier for the sake of extending the vacation time.

Men talk about business, women talk about children, but she has neither business nor children, what should she talk about? Whenever those relatives in the family chatted, Mu Liang had nothing to say except for being stared at by his stomach.

Fu Huanyan had already hid in the gallery, but she had nowhere to hide, and she was a daughter-in-law, so naturally she was not at the same level as her daughter. Surface work is what needs to be done after all.

finally survived until the fifth day of the new year, and finally no one came to the door. Fu Jinchen went to the company first when he got up in the morning, and the employees also went to work one after another the day after tomorrow, so the CEOs were ready to go in advance.

Fu Dongting also went out early, and Fu Pei'an and Fu Zheng were definitely not far behind. In this way, the house is quiet. But Mu Liang felt even more uncomfortable, and the remaining female dependents in the family gave her a headache one by one.

In the morning, I taught Fu Cheng to play the piano and finally passed some time. Before lunch, You Chuxiu went out and began to go back to her relatives' houses, she took Yao Qin to go, firstly, Yao Qin is the eldest daughter-in-law, and secondly, Yao Qin's family background is good, and she also has common topics with those people.

Mu Liang didn't feel envious, she liked to be quiet. After lunch, Cao Wanxin took her daughter back to sleep, Fu Shijun habitually didn't come out, and basically stayed in the small building behind all day.

After being on the Internet for a while, Mu Liang felt very bored, and he really had nowhere to go, so he could only go to the mall. During the Chinese New Year, there were not many customers in the mall, and many products were on sale, so she took the opportunity to sweep the goods.

After shopping for a long time, Mu Liang didn't see anything she liked, she left the women's clothing department and came to the men's clothing department instead.

The clothes he bought for Fu Jinchen last time, he still liked it. Mu Liang felt that she had bought gifts for her family before the New Year, but without him, she couldn't go away.

In fact, she is not stingy, and can always remember the kindness of others to her. Recently, Fu Jinchen has not had a lot of jewelry from her, and each one is not cheap, she feels that husband and wife should also exchange courtesies, and they are embarrassed to always accept his things.

Walking into the men's flagship store, Mu Liang gritted his teeth fiercely, intending to bleed heavily. The brands he likes are all international brands, and the prices are at least five figures.

Mu Liang was holding two shirts in his hands, white on his left hand and black on his right, and he was undecided. Most of the men's shirts at home are black, she thought that she should change the color, and the yellow he liked was definitely denied by Mu Liang. But if you wear white, will it not match Fu Jinchen's age?

Mu Liang sighed and frowned slightly. The shopping guide on the side frequently introduced and wanted her to buy both.

"This one!"

A beautiful female voice suddenly sounded on his side, Mu Liang turned his head in surprise, only to see Shu Yun holding a black shirt with dark stripes in the singer, and said with a smile: "This one should suit him." ”

Who is he referring to in her mouth, Fu Jinchen?!

Mu Liang's dark eyes narrowed, and the eyes that looked at Shu Yunge completely cooled. What, this is trying to dominate?!
