Chapter 166 Lucky Dumplings
Chapter 166 Lucky Dumplings
Pei Zhiyu looked at Jiang Miao who was so conflicted and couldn't help but hold her in his arms.
He coaxed in a low voice: "Jiang Miao, don't worry, I won't let you stay at home alone."
"Ah," Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment, "Do you still want to stay with me?"
Pei Zhiyu told him his plan: "I can go back to Pei's house one day later, but I can't leave you here alone, right?"
Jiang Miao pushed him and said embarrassedly: "No, I want to go back with you."
She also said: "The New Year is naturally more lively when there are more people!"
Pei Zhiyu: "Didn't you say last time..."
Seeing that Pei Zhiyu was about to bring up the past, Jiang Miao rushed forward and covered his mouth, "Don't mention it again! When did I say I wouldn't go back with you? It's obvious that you misinterpreted my meaning!"
Pei Zhiyu laughed: "Jiang Miao, why are you still blaming others?"
Jiang Miao snorted. She didn’t care. She just told him not to mention it again!
Pei Zhiyu smiled, and finally decided with her to go back to Pei's house together to celebrate the New Year.
-
Another week passed.
The company has started its annual holiday.
Pei Zhiyu and Jiang Miao stayed at home for a few days. Before returning to Pei's house, they went out to buy some things and prepared to take them back together.
On the day they returned, Xu Zhongtao drove to pick them up.
Just then, a free man came and Jiang Miao ordered him to help move things.
Pei Zhiyu also greeted the Pei family in advance and told them that he would bring his girlfriend home to celebrate the New Year.
Wen Wanqiu naturally welcomed this.
Because she likes Jiang Miao.
It’s also more lively with more people. In previous years, their family would only have four people at most during the New Year.
Now with Jiang Miao added, there are five people in the family.
The house can be more lively, otherwise it would be too deserted.
Pei family.
Wen Wanqiu and Pei's father were both sitting in the living room. They had met Jiang Miao before and were just saying hello.
Jiang Miao was still a little reserved, but when Wen Wanqiu pulled her aside to chat, she naturally became less reserved once she got into the conversation.
Wen Wanqiu also knew that Jiang Miao was an orphan, and felt sorry for her for being alone, so she took special care of her.
In the end, even her older son started complaining.
Xu Zhongtao just said it casually, but ended up receiving death stares from his brother and mother.
Wen Wanqiu glared at him fiercely and angrily scolded, "How can you be so disrespectful, kid?
Xu Zhongtao was scolded, and he became even more resentful: "Mom..."
Wen Wanqiu: "Don't call me mom. Wait until you find me a daughter-in-law and bring her back!"
After hearing what his mother said, Xu Zhongtao really shut up!
What he fears most now is his family urging him to get married, or asking him to go on blind dates.
He hasn't had enough fun yet, how can he get married so early?
……
On New Year's Eve, the usually deserted Pei family also began to get busy.
Wen Wanqiu and Jiang Miao were making dumplings together, while Pei Zhiyu and the others went to put up Spring Festival couplets.
Jiang Miao’s cooking skills are not good, but she is very skilled at making dumplings.
Wen Wanqiu found out that she learned it when she lived in an orphanage, because every Chinese New Year, the director would take them to make dumplings together.
Year after year, Jiang Miao's skills were naturally honed.
Making dumplings is an easy job, unlike the three grown men who have to put up Spring Festival couplets and run around the house.
Seeing that the dumplings were almost finished, Wen Wanqiu went to find a coin, washed it, and wrapped it in the dumpling stuffing.
This is the “lucky dumpling”!
In the evening, they sat together and had a reunion dinner.
Father Pei looked at Jiang Miao and suddenly asked, "When do you plan to get the marriage certificate?"
Jiang Miao almost choked to death on her dumplings when she heard this. She was so anxious that she quickly looked for water to drink.
Compared to Jiang Miao, Pei Zhiyu's reaction was much calmer, "Dad, we are not planning to get married for the time being."
Pei's father's expression suddenly became serious.
Pei Zhiyu took the initiative to explain: "Jiang Miao hasn't graduated yet, I want to wait a little longer."
Xu Zhongtao was very surprised: "Huh, she is still a college student now?"
Jiang Miao nodded: "I won't graduate until next June, and working in Pei Zhiyu's company is just an internship."
Because today is New Year's Eve and the old year has not yet passed, Jiang Miao was talking about next year.
Tomorrow is the new year!
When Xu Zhongtao heard the news, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in it!
Why didn't his brother ever say anything about Jiang Miao being an intern?
Wen Wanqiu smiled and said, "It seems that our Xiao Miao is very good. She was able to intern at Zhiyu's company!"
Changing the subject, Wen Wanqiu pointed her finger at Xu Zhongtao again: "Look at you again, all you do all day is eat and drink for free! Are you half as capable as Xiao Miao?"
On this point, Pei's father also nodded in agreement.
Now Xu Zhongtao has become the poor little guy who is despised by the whole family!
He was so angry that he stuffed several dumplings into his mouth indignantly.
He wanted to eat all the dumplings and not leave any for them!
Xu Zhongtao simply took the initiative to change the subject, not wanting them to laugh at him anymore.
"Mom, didn't you say you made lucky dumplings? How come I didn't get any after eating so many? Did you forget to put in the coins?"
Wen Wanqiu glared at him again: "I'll take care of it."
At this moment, Jiang Miao suddenly bit something and cried out softly.
Pei Zhiyu considerately handed her a tissue.
The next second, she spat out a coin from her mouth.
Xu Zhongtao: “…”
Even dumplings are bullying him!
Wen Wanqiu smiled gently: "It seems that Xiao Miao is very lucky. She ate the lucky dumplings. She will definitely have good luck in the new year!"
Jiang Miao smiled: "Okay, thank you Aunt Wen!"
But in fact, Jiang Miao secretly pulled Pei Zhiyu under the table, as if asking him: Didn’t you give me that dumpling?
But Pei Zhiyu chose to play dumb and ignored Jiang Miao.
After the meal, Jiang Miao pulled Pei Zhiyu aside and asked him about the lucky dumplings in person.
Only then did Pei Zhiyu admit it.
He said, “I just want to cheer you up.”
Jiang Miao didn't feel unhappy. Instead, she was very happy that Pei Zhiyu was so nice to her.
Sure enough, all her good luck was given by him!
Or perhaps, all her good luck was used up in meeting Pei Zhiyu!
No matter what, Jiang Miao was not angry. Instead, she took the initiative to give Pei Zhiyu a kiss as a reward.
Pei Zhiyu was happy to accept it.
However, this was at Pei's house, and they hadn't returned to their room yet. After all, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, in case they were caught by their elders.
