Jiang Zhuoyi's tone of voice to Jiang Xu was not even kind.

"Forget it, I won't tell you, is Lili nearby? Give her the phone. ”

Su Yuli looked at Jiang Xu's hands-free mobile phone on the table, and spoke in a daze.

"Aunt Jiang......"

"Huh? Yes? It's Lili, are you there? ”

Jiang Zhuoyi's voice suddenly became warm and intimate.

"Yes, Ah Xu just turned on the hands-free."

"Oh...... Oh, you kid, you don't know how to speak sooner. ”

Jiang Zhuoyi had already changed his face, "Lili, on the night of your Chinese New Year's Eve, do you want to follow Ah Xu to our ancestral house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" ”

Su Yuli heard Jiang Zhuoyi say this, and was a little embarrassed for a while, to be honest, she had not had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with others for many years.

"Yes...... Okay, then bother. ”

"Harm! What's the bother, Auntie wishes you could change your name to my mom as soon as possible. ”

At that end, Jiang Zhuoyi listened to Su Yuli's agreement, and his tone was a little lighter, "By the way, do you have any taboos?" Or if there is anything you particularly want to eat, I am now planning a dish for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with my aunt. ”

"Ah...... Not...... No. ”

In line with the principle of not causing trouble to others, Su Yuli subconsciously spoke.

Jiang Xu on the side raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Su Yuli, and opened his mouth to answer.

"Don't want shrimp, crab, coriander, milk, you can have grunt meat."

Jiang Xu's voice fell, and Su Yuli and Jiang Zhuoyi were silent for a few seconds at the same time, and then Jiang Zhuoyi spoke.

"Really, Lili, you said that you kid, what are you embarrassed to be here."

Su Yuli was a little panicked and just wanted to explain, but Jiang Zhuoyi was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she directly and thoughtfully diverted the topic.

"By the way, Lili, do you have a good relationship with Shiya? She'll come over on New Year's Day. ”

Su Yuli was really interested when she heard it, she was busy with Jiang Xu in the past few days, and she had only made a few videos with Shiya, so she really missed her.

But I don't know why, after she called the video a few times, she always felt that Han Shiya had a feeling of hiding it, as if there was something hidden from her.

Thinking that since Han Shiya would agree to go to the Jiang family's ancestral house on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it must be a matter with Jiang Yubai.

Su Yuli couldn't help but gossip with Jiang Zhuoyi about the relationship between Jiang Yubai and Han Shiya.

After chatting a few more words and hanging up the phone, Su Yuli restrained her emotions and glared at Jiang Xu.

"Mouthy, how hypocritical I am!"

Jiang Xu couldn't help laughing, "No, don't see my mother." ”

Su Yuli said 'um', lowered her head to eat the vegetables, she thought, it's not that she wants to see the outside, it's just that she really has no experience in eating with the elders, so she will inevitably be nervous.

--

The next day, Su Yuli got up, opened the door directly and walked out as usual.

Jiang Xu was sitting on the sofa, his head down, writing something on his lap with a folder pad, and Xu Tezhu was sitting upright on the single sofa looking at him.

Seeing Su Yuli coming out of the room, Xu Tezhu was stunned for a moment, and then stood up from the sofa.

"Miss Sue."

"Ah, hello."

Su Yuli was still wearing pajamas at this time, and she was slightly startled when she saw outsiders in the room with sleepy eyes.

Subconsciously said hello to the other party, and she just leaned out half of her small body and shrank back.

Xu Tezhu's eyes widened, and he watched Su Yuli close the door of the room, only to retract his gaze and fall back to his boss. My heart suddenly had mixed feelings, this is to remove the dark clouds and see the rainbow.

Feeling the meaning in Xu Tezhu's eyes, the smile on the corner of Jiang Xu's mouth deepened.

He finished the work at hand, snapped the folder, and handed it to Xu Tezhu.

"It's been a hard year, Happy New Year."

Xu Tezhu was stunned again when he heard this, this is too humane, when did Xiao Jiang always say this, this is also amazing.

Su Yuli changed her clothes and came out, but Xu Tezhu had already left.

She looked at Jiang Xu with some annoyance, "You don't know if someone comes." ”

Jiang Xu got up with his pockets in his pocket, "I thought I could finish it before you got up." ”

It was indeed only a little close, Su Yuli slept for five more minutes, and Xu Tezhu left.

Su Yuli glanced at Jiang Xu's outfit today, white slacks and a white turtleneck, looking like he could go out with a coat, but he didn't feel like he was going to a formal occasion.

"Are you going out today?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Xu looked at her with a smile, "Today is the last day of the flower market, do you want to go shopping together and buy couplets by the way?" ”

"Go to the flower market and buy couplets?"

Su Yuli seemed to react for a moment before responding, "Okay." ”

Jiang Xu also keenly discovered that whether it was a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, a visit to the flower market, or a couplet, this girl only agreed to come down after asking, and her reaction, no matter how she looked at it, seemed to be unfamiliar with the Spring Festival.

After breakfast, the two drove to the flower market.

Jiang Xu held the steering wheel and glanced at Su Yuli, who was pulling on the car window at this time, looking at the street scene on both sides of the road with interest.

Su Yuli basically didn't go out much in the winter before, because it was too cold, but the way to the flower market was very beautiful, it snowed last night, and all kinds of decorations with New Year's flavor were even more conspicuous in the snow scene.

"Lili, how did you spend Chinese New Year's Eve?"

If not with me.

"Huh?"

Su Yuli retracted her gaze and looked at him, and when she was suddenly asked like this, she really couldn't answer, because she used to be a Spring Festival, starting at the age of 16. So she has long forgotten how the Spring Festival was celebrated.

"I usually go to see my mom in the morning and then practice at home in the afternoon."

In the past, before the year, Su Yuli would ask the teacher to assign her more tasks, so that she would have something to do in the days of the Spring Festival.

Jiang Xu's hand on the steering wheel tightened, "What about the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Will you go back to Su's house to eat? ”

In fact, the moment this question was asked, Jiang Xu felt a familiar bitterness and sadness rising from the depths of her heart, she would not go back, he knew the answer.

Sure enough, Su Yuli said calmly.

"No, I usually eat it myself."

Lin Lu died, the second year of Su Zhi'an's remarriage, that is, when Su Yuli was 16 years old, she went back, when Fu Rou and Su Wang had already entered the door of the Su family, and she was quite impressed by the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Fu Rou can be said to have seized everything that could be aimed at her and sneered at her, and Su Wang also emphasized that it was his house, telling her not to stay there.

That was the most embarrassing year for Su Yuli, every bite of food was like a fish in his throat, Su Zhi'an saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't bother to care, or he acquiesced to Fu Rou and Su Wang's exclusion of Su Yuli.

Since then, Su Yuli has never returned to the Su family during the Spring Festival, let alone the Spring Festival, even in normal times, she almost never goes back, unless something big happens.

She herself thinks it's okay, after all, there is no family affection, but only the Spring Festival that adds trouble, but it's okay, after so many years, she has long been used to living by herself, and feels that there is nothing bad about this.

“……”

The car was quiet for a while.

Jiang Xu's hand holding me on the steering wheel became tighter and tighter, and even his knuckles were a little white.

He took a deep breath, and the feeling of regret seemed to rise and spread in his chest, and he struggled to suppress the feeling and replace it with a sigh.

He hadn't cared about it before, and now he only felt embarrassed and suffocated when he heard it.

She's been with him for five years, but she's still so lonely every year.

He remembered a comment he saw when they broke up and made a fuss on Weibo, and now that he thinks about it, it is indeed right: Is a useless boyfriend still a boyfriend?

Before him, when he had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the ancestral house every year as usual, he never expected that she did not return to the Su family, but was at home by herself, and New Year's Eve alone.

"I'm sorry."

But this is the most powerless word.

Su Yuli glanced at Jiang Xu and could guess what he was thinking. But she wanted to say that she was not as miserable as he thought.

"I don't need you to pity me."

Su Yuli propped herself on the car window, turned her head and continued to look at the scenery outside the window leisurely, "This is my way of life, that's all." ”

She has long been used to being alone, and she is also used to getting along with herself.

Jiang Xu freed up a hand and shook it lightly on Su Yuli's hand, "Every year in the future, I will accompany you." ”

Whether it's going to sweep the grave or play the violin.

The corners of Su Yuli's lips curled slightly, and she shook his hand with her backhand.

Then the little girl took his hand to the steering wheel and put it down.

"Don't hold the steering wheel with one hand for a long time, it's a bad habit to drive."

-

When the car drove to the vicinity of the flower market, the road was blocked, Jiang Xu parked the car in the underground garage of a nearby shopping mall, let Su Yuli sit in the car first, and then got out of the car, went to the back seat first, took the down jackets of the two, and then went around to the co-pilot, opened the door, handed the clothes to Su Yuli, and asked her to get out of the car.

Su Yuli got dressed and got out of the car, her down jacket was a white long fur collar, and a big circle of soft fluff covered the back of her neck, covering her small face in the middle, looking warm.

Jiang Xu put on a light gray down jacket under his white underwear.

The two walked to the flower market.

Even if she wore gloves, Su Yuli chose to keep both of her hands in her pockets the whole time.

The sky is beautiful, although the snow fell heavily last night, but this morning it stopped, and the two of them had melted a lot when they came out, although it was cold, but at least there was no need to worry that the snow was too thick and it would be difficult to move.

Still far away, Su Yuli saw the tall red arches, and the peach-colored silver willows decorated around them, covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, but it did not affect their festivity in the slightest.

Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the flower market is very lively, a long street, on both sides of which are small stalls, in addition to selling all kinds of flowers, there are many other categories.

As soon as you enter the large red cornice, you will be greeted by a long line of flower stalls.

"Would you like to buy some flowers to put at home?"

Jiang Xu looked at Su Yuli.

Su Yuli swept around and shook her head, although she likes the element of broken flowers, she still doesn't like to keep real plants at home, not to mention that it is not easy to take care of, and it will attract small insects.

After wandering around a few stalls, she fell in love with a small windmill, bought it for Jiang Xu to hold, and retracted her little hand into her pocket again.

Walking around, the two finally found a stall that sold couplets, not only couplets, but also all kinds of blessing characters, window flowers, decorations, and the entire stall was decorated red.
