On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 459 Without a partner, you're worthless
In the city, He Jianguo and his brothers, along with Luo Chunfeng and Xu Yingchun, got up early to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

"They're here, they're back."

He Yuxian shouted loudly.

The people in the courtyard stood up together, and Luo Chunfeng and Xu Yingchun wiped their hands clean, ready to greet them.

He Yuxian came in from outside carrying two large buckets of water.

Luo Chunfeng: "A-Xian, where are your aunt and sister-in-law?"

"Huh? I don't know."

He Yuxian looked completely bewildered.

Have Aunt and the others arrived?

Luo Chunfeng...

Xu Yingchun glared at her son with exasperation, "You said 'coming,' what's coming?"

The two sisters-in-law immediately assumed that when He Yuxian said "they've arrived," he meant that their sister-in-law and the others had returned.

He Yuxian...

I was talking about seafood!

"Look, king crab, lobster, and plump mandarin fish."

He Yuxian proudly showed the seafood in the bucket he was carrying to his aunt and mother.

I originally thought I would receive praise.

After all, it was something he had gone through a lot of trouble to get back.

But to everyone's surprise, Luo Chunfeng and Xu Yingchun weren't interested in the seafood He Yuxian brought back at all.

It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that I'm not that interested.

The two sisters-in-law are now even more looking forward to seeing their younger sister and Wenjing's family.

They hadn’t seen their children for a long time and didn’t know how much they had grown.
Thinking of the children, the two sisters-in-law simultaneously thought of the fruits and snacks they had prepared at home. They wondered if it was enough. If not, they would go and buy some more.
"Mom, Auntie, don't you think it's rare to have such a big piece of seafood?"

He Yuxian was extremely shocked.

Xu Yingchun glanced at her son, "What's so difficult about it?"

He Yuxian...

Of course it's rare!
This is Beijing, not their hometown, a coastal city!
Besides, even in coastal cities, if you want to get king crabs and lobsters that big from Boston, you'd have to go abroad.

"These are seafood products that have traveled across the ocean to see us."

"We Chinese have always believed in serving good wine to friends. Why are you so cold to your mother and me?"

He Yuxian was very puzzled.

Xu Yingchun responded with an "Oh," and said, "I didn't forbid them from drinking alcohol!"

After saying that, she said to He Libang, who was busy stewing chicken under the eaves, "Dad, when you're cooking shrimp and crab later, give them more wine."

He Yuxian...

What his mother said seems to make sense, doesn't it?
This wine seems to be different from the wine that people drink.
Never mind how they drink it, as long as there's good wine to serve them.

He Yuxian chuckled and carried the two buckets inside.

A short while later, He Yucheng also returned from outside.

He also brought back a basket of crabs.

It wasn't as big as the one He Yuxian brought back, and its legs were still deformed.

Xu Yingchun asked He Yucheng, "Are crabs these days devoid of meat?"
"Second Aunt, this type of crab isn't very fat, but it still has some meat."

The best time to eat crabs is in the summer.

The meat was very succulent back then.

Those that are specifically eaten for their roe, like the Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, are so full of roe that it's practically dripping with oil.

It's winter now, not the season for eating crabs.

But during the Lunar New Year, we don't follow so many rules.

Xu Yingchun thought He Yucheng's words made sense.

She nodded repeatedly and smiled as she asked He Yucheng to carry the things inside.

He Yuxian, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, became unhappy at this moment.

"Why are you so cold to me, but so warm to my brother, even though I brought back seafood just like my brother?"

Xu Yingchun glared at her son. "Why do you think that is?" "Why?"

He Yuxian looked completely bewildered. "I don't know."

Looking at her son's bewildered expression, Xu Yingchun was truly disappointed in him.

A cheerful voice rang out from the side, "What other reason could there be? Isn't it because your brother finally found someone?"

In the He family, being over thirty and still single means you're at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

He Yuxian...

so sad.

"But finding a partner isn't something I can just do whenever I want!"

"I can't just go out on the street and grab any woman to start a relationship, can I? Even if I'm willing, she might not be! And even if she is, her mom might not be, right?"

He Yuxian didn't want to be in a relationship, and he had a lot of arguments against it.

Xu Yingchun chuckled coldly from the side.

"Don't blame your mother for this; I can't bear the responsibility."

After saying that, she added, "I'm not picky. As long as you're willing to find a partner, and as long as it's a woman, I'll accept it."

He Yuxian...

His mother's requirements are too low, aren't they?

Those nearby who overheard the mother and son's conversation couldn't help but chuckle.

He Yucheng, who was also watching the show with amusement, said, "I think Tian Tian's classmate is quite good. It's just that you're being picky and not giving a clear answer."

"Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

He Yuxian stopped He Yucheng in time.

Xu Yingchun, who was standing nearby, sensed that something was wrong.

"Tian Tian's classmate? Acheng, tell your second aunt, is it true that some woman has taken a liking to this brat?"

The mother, now a mere spectator, watched with a look of pure curiosity.

No matter how much He Yuxian tried to stop her, his mother remained unmoved.

Helpless, he could only keep giving his brother meaningful glances, signaling him not to mess with him, as he didn't want to find a partner yet!

He Yuxian inwardly groaned.

Someone please come and save him!

The thought had barely formed when the sound of cars came from outside. People in the yard looked out and saw two jeeps parked at the gate.

"Auntie! Happy New Year!"

Lu Chenxi waved to the window and greeted them loudly.

Xu Yingchun and Luo Chunfeng, who had originally been looking forward to gossiping, now forgot what gossip was and started walking outside.

"It's Xixi!"

"Grandma, I'm here too!"

Little Chengduo sat on Jiang Tang's lap. When she saw her older sister greet her, she also wanted to speak in her childish voice to show her presence.

Luo Chunfeng and Xu Yingchun were all smiles, helping to open the car door while reaching out to hug each other.

"Oh my, our Duoduo is here too."

"Let Grandma see if Duoduo has grown taller and gained weight!"

Chengduo was plump and dressed in New Year's clothes, a red cotton-padded jacket and black cotton-padded pants, with two braids tied with pretty red hair ribbons.

A butterfly hair clip was pinned to each side of the front of the braid.

When her head swayed, the pretty butterfly hair clip fluttered and blinked, just like a butterfly that could fly away at any moment.

Luo Chunfeng smiled and took Chengduo from her.

The little girl held it warmly, and it was quite heavy.

"Happy Chinese New Year, Auntie Da and Auntie Er."

Jiang Tang greeted him with a smile.

Luo Chunfeng and Xu Yingchun hadn't seen Jiang Tang for several years, and now that they saw their nephew's wife here safely, they couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, okay, Happy New Year to Tangtang too."
