Chapter 132 Reunion Dinner
Human nature is really hard to guess. Su Rumei sighed heavily and said to him, "Don't be too sad. Fortunately, you are grown up now and can rely on yourself. You also have such a beautiful girlfriend, Xiaoyun, you must cherish her."
Zhou Yun nodded: "I will, then we will leave and not disturb your rest!"
"I'll come back to see you when I get back to Hangzhou!"
Zhou Yun said goodbye and got up to leave, and Su Rumei walked them both to the door.
After returning to the car, Xu Jiajia asked him a little distressedly: "What should we do now?"
"Let's go back to Su City first. Chinese New Year is coming soon. We need to prepare well for our first Chinese New Year celebration together."
"I will investigate this matter after the Chinese New Year. I didn't intend to investigate it so quickly. After all, so many years have passed and things have changed. I will take my time."
Xu Jiajia nodded: "Okay, then let's go back and prepare for the New Year!"
After the two returned to Suzhou, they began to prepare couplets and other things, and together decorated the rented apartment with a Chinese New Year atmosphere.
However, because Xu Yi is still alive, Xu Jiajia cannot always accompany him during the New Year, and still has to go home on New Year's Eve.
But Xu Yi had already asked him to go back for the reunion dinner, and Zhou Yun agreed without hesitation. After all, this was his first Spring Festival with Xu Jiajia, so they had to be together!
After pasting the word "Fu", the two of them snuggled up on the sofa. This kind of home decoration feels full of happiness.
At this time, Zhou Yun asked Xu Jiajia: "Which city do you want to settle down in the future? I think we should buy a house."
"Otherwise, we can't live without a fixed place to stay!"
Now Zhou Yun really lacks a home that truly belongs to him.
When Xu Jiajia heard him ask her, she was stunned and replied: "You can buy a house wherever you want. You don't need to ask for my opinion."
"That won't do." Zhou Yun hugged her and said, "We are now a family. I am with you for the purpose of getting married, so you are the mistress of the family. You are responsible for everything, including me."
"You can buy it wherever you want. If you want to be closer to your sister, let's buy it in Sioux City!"
Xu Jiajia was deeply moved. She leaned against Zhou Yun, thought for a moment, and said, "Should we buy it in Haicheng?"
Because Xu Jiajia considered that both of them were still in college, and Zhou Yun's career was in Haicheng, so it would not be convenient to buy a house and travel back and forth to other cities.
Although Zhou Yun let her choose, she couldn't be too willful.
Love is mutual. Zhou Yun treats her wholeheartedly, so she can't just accept without giving anything in return!
Zhou Yun heard her answer and said, "Okay, then we'll buy in Haicheng, and we'll go look for a house after the New Year."
Xu Jiajia said "hmm", and at this moment, both of them couldn't help but think of the beautiful picture of living together.
Moreover, they had never thought that things would develop so quickly. After only half a semester, they were already considering buying a house for the future.
Taking advantage of the end of the year, Zhou Yun held a meeting for all employees of the company, distributed bonuses, and then notified everyone that the annual meeting would be held after the New Year. He planned to take everyone out for a few days of travel.
When the employees heard his plan during the weekdays, they were instantly excited and kept cheering, saying how awesome the boss is!
On New Year's Day, Zhou Yun got up very early and came to Xu Yi's house. He did not come empty-handed, but brought a lot of high-end ingredients, such as lobsters and king crabs. Zhou Yun was not stingy.
Xu Jiajia ran to the door to greet him, and when she saw that he had brought a lot of seafood and fruits, she exclaimed, "Isn't this too much?"
"Today is Chinese New Year, let's have some fun, even if we don't eat the food it still looks nice."
Zhou Yun walked into the room and took a look at Xu Kang. The other party had been completely healed from the injuries he suffered at the time, and when he saw him coming, he came over to greet him enthusiastically.
Xu Jiajia went to the kitchen with Xu Yi to prepare the reunion dinner, but because Xu Yi's belly was a little big and she was very tired from carrying the baby, Xu Jiajia didn't let her do it and just let her sit aside and rest.
Zhou Yun didn't want to be alone with Xu Kang. Although this man was said to be treating his wife well recently and acted as if nothing had happened, he still felt that he was unreliable.
A person's nature cannot be changed easily, Zhou Yun knows this very well, so he thinks Xu Kang is just pretending for a while, and his true colors will be revealed soon!
Zhou Yun got up and went to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and said to Xu Jiajia, "I'll help you, just tell me how to deal with it."
"Okay, then you cut up the fish and wash the meat, and I'll cut the vegetables."
"Yes, sir!" Zhou Yun began to wash the meat and ribs.
Xu Yi sat on the dining chair next to them. Seeing their loving appearance, she said with relief: "You two should always be so good to each other. I am really happy to see Jia Jia meet a good man. Xiao Yun, thank you for helping me take care of her."
Zhou Yun and Xu Jiajia turned around and looked at her. Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Sister, you don't have to be polite to me. It's because Jiajia is a good person and an excellent person. I have to thank her for accepting me and being with me."
Xu Jiajia smiled embarrassedly: "Hurry up and wash it carefully."
"Okay, okay, Princess. I will obey your command."
Zhou Yun carefully washed the meat and then went to cut the fish. This was his first time to be in charge of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
In the past, the Chinese New Year was not called the Chinese New Year, but a suffering, because there was no happiness of reunion.
Liu Meijuan would buy Zhou Ling new clothes, give him lucky money, and cook his favorite New Year's Eve dinner. Zhou Guangsheng would also take him out to set off fireworks...
But no one paid any attention to Zhou Yun. He was still wearing his old clothes and was standing in the corner like a piece of trash with a very low sense of presence. No one could see him.
When he grew up and was able to work, Zhou Yun would work outside and not come back regardless of whether it was a holiday or not, even during the Spring Festival.
To him, it makes no difference whether he celebrates the Chinese New Year or not. Others are reuniting with their families, but no one cares about him, so he actually hates the Chinese New Year.
But now it’s different. He has his favorite woman by his side, and the two of them are busy preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner together. This happiness makes Zhou Yun fall in love with the Chinese New Year again.
It was already evening when the two of them finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. The four of them sat around the dining table. The sound of firecrackers could be heard outside, and the atmosphere became lively.
Xu Kang took the initiative to pour wine for Zhou Yun and himself, then raised his glass and said, "This year our family reunion dinner is different, with new members joining us, and Xiaoyi's unborn baby, so let's have a drink together!"
Xu Jiajia and Xu Yi were drinking juice, and Zhou Yun also picked up his glass. Although he didn't like Xu Kang as a man, he couldn't show it for Xu Jiajia's sake.
The reunion dinner was very lively and Zhou Yun also drank quite a bit of wine. He kept looking at Xu Jiajia and smiling, and helped her pick up dishes and fish bones. No matter how much he drank or whether he felt dizzy or not, he would take good care of her according to his body's instinct.
