Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, but Zhou Huilan does not plan to go back to accompany Zhou Zhenhai for the New Year.

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

"Mom, will we come back at night to accompany my mother-in-law for the New Year?"

"Of course I'll come back, my mother made the dumpling filling still in the kitchen!"

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

The streets are no longer as lively as they were a few days ago, and only some small vendors in the neighborhood are still holding on.

Hearing Yaoyao's words, Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing at Uncle Lu's house?"

"Uncle Lu bought a flying flying saucer, and he said he wanted to take me with him!"

"Then go ahead."

While talking, the mother and daughter walked to a stall selling dim sum, and Zhou Huilan was talking to the proprietress when she was suddenly attracted by a rapid horn.

It was a small silver car, parked on the side of the road and honking its horn all the time.

Zhou Huilan subconsciously pulled Yaoyao to her side, and saw the window of the car leaning against the side of the road slowly lowered.

"Yaoyao! Get in the car!"

"Uncle Lu!" Yaoyao was small, and she saw Lu Changqing in the car at a glance, and she was excited to rush forward, but she was dragged by Zhou Huilan.

"Why are you rushing, how dangerous it is on this big road!"

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

Zhou Huilan bent down and was also shocked when she saw Lu Changqing sitting in the driver's seat, "You still drive?" Whose car is this?"

Standing on the side, I can't tell what brand it is, but the car is definitely a high-end luxury in these days.

After all, it costs more than 100,000 yuan to buy a car this year, and it is only tens of thousands to buy a suite.

"Friend's car, come on, I'll send you back!" Lu Changqing said, seeing that Zhou Huilan didn't move, she simply opened the car door and ran down, directly opened the door of the back seat of the car, and invited the mother and daughter to the car, "Today, the taxis on the street are on vacation, and you are not good at taking a taxi, so I asked a friend to borrow a car."

That's right, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and taxis have to take a holiday.

It's just that Zhou Huilan didn't rush to get in the car, "I have to buy a few things, it's not good to go back empty-handed."

"I've bought it all, let's go, let's go, if I go back later, I won't let you out!"

Zhou Huilan is not worried about this, after all, Zhou Zhenhai's temper of slapping the table and glaring at every turn, as long as she does not go against the grain, what is there to be embarrassed to come out.

After getting into the car, Zhou Huilan saw something placed in the co-pilot.

What Lu Changqing prepared was a high-end gift box, the kind that was not useful, what kind of ginseng and honey.

Zhou Huilan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I can't imagine that you will still prepare these things, and you Chinese medicine practitioners also believe in these?"

"Of course I don't believe it, but when it comes to gifts, of course you have to meet the recipient's preferences, and now you don't like these when you're old!"

At the same time, Zhou Huilan also found out that Lu Changqing not only drove the car today, but also had special hair and clothes, which was deliberately done.

Zhou Huilan couldn't help laughing, but deliberately teased Lu Changqing with a straight face, "Are you so solemn that you are going to officially visit your father-in-law?"

"Isn't that okay?" Lu Changqing drove the car, looking smug.

Zhou Huilan wanted to laugh, but felt astringent in her heart, "Why are you going to see him, if there are no good words, I will take Yaoyao in and come out after a circle, you can wait for us on the side of the road 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 the car was driving fast.

When she arrived at the dry rest house, Zhou Huilan carried the things prepared by Lu Changqing,

I went in with Yaoyao.

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

The children who set off firecrackers, the adults who pasted the Spring Festival couplets, and the people who built ladders to hang lanterns, although rows of lanterns have been hung on the trees on the roadside, but some things have to be done by themselves to feel the atmosphere.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, Zhou Huilan led Yaoyao to push open the door of the Zhou family's courtyard.

Unlike the bustle of the streets, the yard was deserted.

As soon as she entered the door, Yaoyao shouted "Grandpa", and heard Zhou Zhenhai's response in the room from a long distance, watching him walk out quickly and grab Yaoyao, Zhou Huilan's lingering thought came to her mind again.

It's not that Zhou Zhenhai doesn't feel sorry for people, it's just that he can spoil Yaoyao and condone Wang Jianye, but he can only be extremely harsh on his own children, except for finding fault with the law, there is no trace of care.

"Mom! Come on in!"

Hearing her daughter shouting to herself, Zhou Huilan exhaled a long breath and followed in with her things.

The house has a little more New Year's atmosphere than in the courtyard, there are melon seeds and candy on the table, and Zhou Zhenhai also took a doll half as tall as Yaoyao and stuffed it to Yaoyao with a doting face.

Hu Manxiang came up to greet her, Zhou Huilan thanked her, and directly carried those gift boxes and put them in the open space in the house.

then ignored Hu Manxiang's kindness to let her sit on the sofa and sat directly at the dining table.

"It's cold outside, drink some hot tea, it's all brewed by your father in advance." Hu Manxiang brought over a cup of tea.

Zhou Huilan pulled the corners of her mouth mechanically, which can be regarded as a full courtesy.

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

Originally, I didn't think I had to wait long, but after looking at the table below, Zhou Huilan had been in for more than an hour.

When she went in just now, Zhou Huilan deliberately said that it would take half an hour at most, why did she go in for so long and not come out?

Lu Changqing was a little strange, but after thinking about it, although the father and daughter had contradictions, they were father and daughter, and they might sit down and talk about the contradictions.

He circled around the car a few times, warmed up, and sat in the car again.

Not long after I sat down, I saw a black Santana drive into the dry rest house, and the guard on duty greeted the driver very politely.

Others can enter, but they can't enter, Lu Changqing flattened his mouth sourly.

It's just that he waited for another hour, and Zhou Huilan hasn't come out yet.

Seeing that it was already dark, he said that he would go back in the evening to make dumplings and have a New Year's dinner with Granny Duan, but would he not go back?

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