Chapter 237 Looks So Obedient
Pei Zhili glanced at him sideways, his expression indescribable, "I don't want to."
What's the big deal about two men holding hands on the street? Even if they are father and son, it would be weird.
What's more, he has no interest in holding hands with Pei Yanzhou. They dislike each other. Is that interesting?
Pei Yanzhou sneered, "Alright, I'm just being sentimental."
However, he could feel that his relationship with Pei Zhili had eased a lot, and was completely different from before.
At least now when he faces himself, his eyes are no longer filled with disgust and hatred. A brief period of peaceful coexistence is still possible, just like now, communicating calmly.
This is a qualitative leap and is very satisfying.
The New Year's goods market was bustling with people. In the past, the housekeepers and servants would prepare everything for the New Year. Jiang Suisui and Jiang Qixing had never been to such a place in their lives, and they were very curious to see the stalls selling all kinds of New Year's goods on both sides.
After seeing the candied haws and sugar men, Jiang Suisui couldn't walk anymore.
The air was filled with a sweet and tempting aroma, stimulating people's taste buds. Several people were already crowded in front of the stall. She couldn't help but pull on Jiang Tingxia's sleeve, "Mommy, I want to buy this, can I?"
She looked at her eagerly, full of anticipation like a child, looking so well-behaved and so cute.
Now she no longer looks like a little gangster, and Jiang Tingxia is so relieved.
Jiang Tingxia couldn't resist and immediately said, "Buy, buy, buy! Buy whatever you want."
Jiang Suisui suddenly became excited and pulled Jiang Qixing along to buy a lot of candied haws, sugar figurines, sugar-roasted chestnuts, and many traditional snacks. He said that everyone would have a portion and they would take some back for Butler Zhong and the servants to try.
Jiang Tingxia was naturally happy that she had this intention.
She and Jiang Tingxia walked around in front, eating candied haws, while Pei Yanzhou and the others were responsible for carrying things. In just a short time, their hands were full of bags.
While shopping along the way, when choosing New Year pictures, couplets and red envelopes, Jiang Tingxia completely gave the choice to the three children, and some disagreements arose.
Jiang Suisui wanted the cute cartoon patterns that were popular recently, but Pei Zhili wanted the serious traditional ones.
Jiang Qixing didn't care. It didn't matter to him what kind of New Year pictures he bought. What was important was that he could stay with his mother like this, so he just watched the two of them arguing with each other.
childish.
He has always hated childish people and things, but now, he has no objection at all, and even wants to join in.
Even he himself didn't notice this change...
Seeing that the argument would lead to no result, Jiang Tingxia simply continued to be a balance master and bought both.
Anyway, the villa is so big, with so many doors and rooms, it’s okay to choose different styles, as long as they are happy.
Before we knew it, half a day had passed. After the family was tired from shopping, they went to a nearby specialty Chinese restaurant for dinner.
It is such a simple activity, but all the family members cherish and enjoy it very much.
The place at the dining table that had been missing for more than ten years finally found its owner again this year.
...
As the year draws to a close, light snow falls all night long, and the garden is covered in white, like a pure white painting.
Jiang Tingxia got up early and asked Pei Yanzhou and the three children to put up New Year pictures and couplets together.
This was the first time in many years that the family had celebrated the Spring Festival together, and everyone took it very seriously. Jiang Suisui, who usually loved to sleep in, got up immediately and energetically worked with Pei Zhili and Jiang Qixing to prepare the things they would be putting up later.
The high places would naturally be posted by Pei Yanzhou and Pei Zhili, the tallest people in the family.
At this moment, outside the gate, Jiang Suisui was gesturing with his hand, "Dad, come a little closer!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Pei Yanzhou, who had already repeated it several times, felt helpless, but he still did as she said and moved the New Year picture in his hand little by little until it was in the right position.
Jiang Tingxia stood aside, looking at Pei Yanzhou's familiar and handsome profile, and suddenly a trace of sourness arose in the depths of her heart.
In a trance, it seemed as if he had returned to more than ten years ago. He was also pasting New Year pictures with his own hands just like now, but the people chattering and pointing fingers beside him were not Jiang Sui Sui, but her and Xiao Li, who was still young at the time...
It really makes me miss it.
After working for a while, all the New Year pictures and couplets were pasted up in the huge villa, and many red decorations were hung on the trees. The New Year atmosphere instantly became stronger.
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and the whole family returned to the Pei family’s old house to celebrate the New Year with the old man and the old lady.
The old house suddenly became lively, and Jiang Tingxia continued to pull her three children to decorate the New Year.
Even though it was snowing outside, it didn't seem cold at all.
In the old house, Grandpa Pei stood by the French window, watching her and the children hang up red lanterns and firecracker ornaments in the yard. Everyone had a smile on their face, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
He saw that Pei Zhili, who never liked to get close to others, was sticking to Jiang Tingxia and unpacking the decorations with her, while Jiang Suisui was standing on tiptoe to hang lanterns.
Even Jiang Qixing, who was usually not good at expressing himself and never showed his emotions, was visibly happy and hung a lantern on the tree.
The picture is indescribably harmonious and warm, as if no matter how heavy the snow is, it cannot affect it in the slightest.
Mr. Pei's eyes were slightly warm, and he couldn't bear to look away. He sighed and said, "Ayan, it's been a long time since I've seen such a scene. It's so wonderful. Suddenly I feel that my life is complete and there are no regrets."
Pei Yanzhou, who was standing by, also stared at that place intently, his lips curled slightly, "Yes, I never thought that such a day would come."
Mrs. Pei also sighed, "Yes, sometimes when I see that girl, I think it's Ting Xia who has returned, like the legendary spirit possession or something. Otherwise, how could someone who looks and has the same personality as her, even with the same name, appear? It's so bizarre, no one would believe it if I told them. I still feel like I'm dreaming."
"I'm not dreaming." Pei Yanzhou said firmly.
He had thought many times that this might just be a dream, and when he woke up she would disappear again, and he was worried about losing her. But now he preferred to think that this was real, that Xia Xia had really returned to his side and would never leave again.
Let’s just stay together happily.
May God be more kind to them and prevent any more accidents from happening.
That was something none of them could afford.
Old Master Pei patted Pei Yanzhou's shoulder and said, "Although this matter is indeed strange, no matter what, we are relieved to see that you and the children have returned to normal life and are getting better and better."
Pei Yanzhou nodded and looked at Jiang Tingxia again. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
