C52 Warm Spring Is Fantastic to the Future
Tan Cui Huan did not expect Zhou Qu to have such a calm reaction. The expression on her face couldn't help but change as she said with a smile, "Nothing much, didn't you guys just say I remembered?"
Lee Wanning glanced at her and said, "Speaking of which, I feel that Quan Fei might not be as simple as he looks. You'd better stay away from him in the future."
It was unknown whether Lee Wanning's words were directed at Zhou Qu or Tan Cui Huan, but it was certain that when she heard Lee Wanning's words, Tan Cui Huan's hand under the table tightened.
After dinner, when Zhou Qu just went upstairs, he saw Lee Wanning embroidering tiger shoes. She was humming a tune happily, so Zhou Qu sat down beside her.
Lee Wanning looked at him and said, "Are you going to tell me about Tan Cui Huan?"
Zhou Qu was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded his head.
Lee Wanning said, "Did his parents say anything?"
"Nope."
"Then let her stay here for the time being." Lee Wanning said as if she suddenly thought of something. She held Zhou Qu's hand and said, "But the prerequisite is that you have to promise me how you feel. If you dare …"
"I won't." Zhou Qu directly said without even thinking about it.
Lee Wanning smiled and picked up the needle in her hand, saying, "Then that's good. Actually, it's not Xiao San who's scary, but the two of us who are unsteady. There will still be indestructible feelings in this world."
Zhou Qu didn't understand what Lee Wanning said at the beginning, but he could still understand what she said afterwards.
He smiled and said, "That's right."
Lee Wanning showed her shoes to Zhou Qu and said, "How is it, is it cute?"
Zhou Qu nodded, grabbed her hand and said, "What you did, was good."
Lee Wanning glared at him and said, "Cut it out. Don't think that just because you gave me some candy that I'm happy. My resistance is very good."
Zhou Qu carried her up and said, "What about this?"
Lee Wanning's face was completely red as she whispered, "Still …"
Zhou Qu didn't let her finish her sentence. Three months had already passed. As the child in her belly slowly grew up, the Spring Festival also quietly approached.
After some deliberation, Lee Wanning and Zhou Qu decided to stay in the town to celebrate the New Year. After all, they hadn't returned home for a long time, so they definitely needed to properly tidy up for the new year. Lee Wanning was someone who couldn't stay idle and didn't treat her child well.
Moreover, the ancestral tablets for Zhou Family had already been invited, so there seemed to be nothing else to worry about.
Zhou Heng still didn't come back, but he got someone to bring back a pen, saying it was a gift for the nephew in Lee Wanning's stomach. Zhou Heng had a stubborn temper, so Zhou Qu didn't say anything after knowing that he was safe.
Tan Cuihuan would definitely go home. Lee Wanning thought for a moment. On New Year's Eve, she still brought Lee Changshou, Aunt Lee, and Lee Wanyao over for a lively reunion dinner.
After Zhou Heng's wedding, Lee Wanning would give them a living allowance every once in a while. Although Aunt Lee obviously still wasn't self-sufficient, she was suppressed by Lee Changshou and didn't want to say anything.
Her temper had also been restrained quite a bit, whereas Lee Wanyao's had grown quite a bit over the past few months. This was because she had been held in Aunt Lee's hands since she was young.
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking of this, Aunt Lee suddenly said, "Aa Ning, look at this shop, it seems to be quite busy. I heard that you've hired someone, right?"
In order to prevent the people around them from saying anything, Lee Wanning and Zhou Qu had always told the people outside to get Tan Cui Huan to help them, and Lee Wanning also gave Tan Cui Huan some money for New Year's Eve and told her to go home.
Such a thing must have spread.
Therefore, Lee Wanning knew what Aunt Lee wanted to say the moment she opened her mouth. She slowly said, "That's right."
"Look at you, child. Why are you being so courteous?" How can there be people like us outside who are truly at ease? "Look at your little sister. After today, she'll be fourteen years old, so why don't I leave her here with you …"
"That won't do." Her straightforward rejection made Aunt Lee's expression freeze for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Lee Wanning already said, "Don't look at how much work I need to do in this small shop. How can I use my sister's beautiful hands for work?"
Even if she was angry in her heart, she could only suppress it and say with a hollow laugh, "Look at what you're saying, your sister was young before, but this woman must work, ah. Now that I'm at home, I don't need her to do anything, so I thought …"
"Mom, eat this. It's New Year's Eve today, so let's not talk about this for now. Can we finish this year first?" Zhou Qu put a piece of meat in Aunt Lee's bowl, interrupting her words.
Aunt Lee was furious, but she also knew that if she argued with Lee Wanning today, she might not let herself into their house for the next year. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and slowly say, "Okay, okay."
Lee Wanning glanced at Zhou Qu beside her. He smiled at her and said, "You eat too."
Lee Wanning nodded and picked up the meat from the bowl before swallowing it.
After dinner, Aunt Lee initially wanted to sleep at Lee Wanning's place, but she was directly dragged away by Li Changshui. Since that day, Aunt Lee had always been worried that Lee Changshou would slap her in the face.
After sending them off, Zhou Qu rolled up his sleeves to help him wash the dishes. Lee Wanning looked at the red lanterns hanging on the street and the Spring Festival Gala and said, "In the past, at this time of the year, we would always watch the Spring Festival Gala at home. At that time, there were always endless complaints, but now that I think about it, it seems like a very happy thing."
"What's a Spring Festival Gala?"
When Zhou Qu's voice sounded, Lee Wanning was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
Zhou Qu looked at her and said, "Although we don't have a Spring Festival Gala here, but we do have a lanterns show here. I'll take you out for a look later!"
Lee Wanning kept nodding her head. Zhou Qu immediately smiled, showing his white teeth. He looked especially pretty.
Zhou Huai definitely didn't want to watch the show. Lee Wanning didn't force him to watch it from inside the house as she and Zhou Qu walked out.
Before Lee Wanning came to this world, the taste of the new year had become fainter and fainter in their place. As a child, they had always looked forward to the new year because new clothes and firecrackers were used during the new year.
However, the streets and alleys here were still filled with the feeling of celebration, especially when Lee Wanning and Zhou Qu walked towards the moat. It could be said that there was a sea of people.
The streets were filled with hawking snacks and masks and accessories. Lee Wanning looked at them one by one, her eyes filled with excitement as she picked up every single one of them.
Unknowingly, the two of them walked into the pavilion. Only then did Lee Wanning notice that there were a lot of lanterns there. Lee Wanning asked Zhou Qu, "What's this for?"
"These lanterns will be used for people to guess the riddle during the Lantern Festival."
A voice suddenly came over and rushed in front of Zhou Qu, telling him his answer.
Lee Wanning turned around and saw Quan Fei walking towards her.
He was wearing a long white robe and was holding a folding fan despite the cold weather. On top of his head was a green jade hairpin and a concubine was in his arms. He looked like a real living immortal.
Lee Wanning said, "I thought people like Young Master Quan should be home now."
"What's so exciting about this house? You know, I like to watch people doing this the most. How can I not come out?" As Quan Fei spoke, he looked towards Zhou Qu.
Zhou Qu was wearing a new set of clothes that Lee Wanning had made for him, the color of hidden green. The piece of cloth was the color that the two of them had taken a fancy to at the same time, but Lee Wanning said that the color of hidden blue didn't match with Wu Tie's.
Now, the clothes were on Zhou Qu.
Zhou Qu noticed that Quan Fei's eyes were a bit unfriendly, he hugged his fist and was about to pull Lee Wanning away, when Quan Fei's voice came from behind, "Aa Ning, wait until the Lantern Festival, then you can come and find me. I'll bring you to guess the riddle of the lantern."
Lee Wanning halted her steps and asked doubtfully, "Why did I come with you?"
Quan Fei smiled, opened up the folding fan and said, "Isn't that a very simple matter? Your husband is a martial artist, so he definitely wouldn't do something like guessing. If you don't look for me, who will you look for? "
Although Quan Fei always liked to talk nonsense like this, these words were extremely ear-piercing to Zhou Qu's ears.
Lee Wanning also felt it. She looked at Quan Fei and said, "Then I really have to thank you, but I'm not interested in puzzles. Sometimes, what's interesting is not doing something, but who is accompanying you in doing something. Young Master Quan, do you understand?"
Lee Wanning's eyes were filled with magnanimity. When it fell into Quan Fei's eyes, his hand clenched tightly. Then, he slowly looked at Zhou Qu, who was beside him, only to see him lowering his head and saying nothing.
That made Quan Fei burst into laughter, "That's right, maybe it's someone like Big Brother Zhou that's suitable for Aa Ning. After all, it doesn't seem possible to make me completely listen to a woman."
