Chapter 299 Stay away from me
The Li family came to pay their respects to Jiang Dashan and Yang Chunxiang for the New Year, and also to discuss the marriage of Li Tao and Jiang Hehua.

Li Tao is an only child, and he and his father both work at the brick and tile factory in town. With two people in the family receiving wages and both having town residency, this marriage couldn't be better for Jiang Dashan's family.

Yang Chunxiang smiled broadly and pulled Li Tao to introduce Jiang Dahai.

"Xiao Tao, this is Hehua's third uncle. He works at the Agricultural Bureau in the city."

Li Tao quickly bowed to Jiang Dahai: "Hello, Third Uncle!"

"Good, good, good, not bad, young man, you look quite spirited."

Hearing Jiang Dahai praise Li Tao, Yang Chunxiang and her husband, along with the Li family, all smiled with great satisfaction.

According to custom, the Li family should have visited on the second day of the Lunar New Year to offer their New Year's greetings.

However, Jiang Dahai usually returns to the city on the afternoon of the first day of the lunar new year. In order to let Li Tao show his face with Jiang Dahai, Yang Chunxiang specially asked Li Tao to come to her house today.

This was also the intention of the Li family.

They chose to marry into the Jiang family because of Jiang Dahai, their third uncle.

Jiang Dahai not only has a son-in-law who is a battalion commander, but also a cadre in a government agency. If one can win Jiang Dahai's favor, how can one not rise to prominence in the future?

Jiang Hehua and Li Cuicui whispered in the room: "Your plan is not going to work out. Xiaopeng has a girlfriend. You should look for someone else."

Li Cuicui looked into the courtyard through the window lattice.

Jiang Peng and several of his cousins ​​were playing cards in the courtyard.

Before meeting Jiang Peng, she was already very satisfied with his conditions.

She has a city household registration, is a soldier, her father-in-law is a government official, and her brother-in-law is a military officer. Marrying into such a family means she won't have to worry about the rest of her life.

Seeing that Jiang Peng was tall and handsome today, she liked him even more.

Hearing from Jiang Hehua that Jiang Peng had a girlfriend, she still couldn't give up.

"So what if you have a partner? As long as you're not married, everyone should just rely on their own abilities!"

From childhood to adulthood, she was one of the prettiest girls in town.

There are so many young men in town who want to marry her that you can't count them on your fingers, so they don't believe Jiang Peng wouldn't be interested in her.

Jiang Hehua tried to persuade her a few times but failed, so she had no choice but to lead Li Cuicui to Jiang Peng.

"Xiaopeng, this is Cuicui."

Seeing Jiang Peng turn around, Li Cuicui greeted him confidently, "Hello."

Jiang Peng glanced at her indifferently, then turned back to continue playing cards.

Li Cuicui wasn't discouraged. "What kind of cards are you playing? I don't know how to play. Can you teach me?"

As he spoke, he moved a low stool and sat down next to Jiang Peng.

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Peng squeaked and moved his chair a meter to the side, saying, "Stay away from me."

Li Cuicui ignored Jiang Peng's warning and instead pulled her stool closer to him, saying, "What, are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Jiang Peng looked her up and down. "No way! She looks like a she-devil, she's terrifying!"

Even with Li Cuicui's thick skin, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"You call me a shrew? What makes you any better? I haven't even complained about your dark skin, you look like a fire poker!"

"My partner doesn't mind that I'm dark-skinned, so who do you think you are? Even if you don't have a mirror at home, you must pee sometimes. Take some time to look at your ugly self."

Li Cuicui was so angry her mouth twisted into a crook. "You say I'm ugly? Are you blind?!"

"Don't worry, even if I were blind, I wouldn't look at an ugly woman like you."

Li Cuicui was so angry that she completely gave up the idea of ​​marrying Jiang Peng.

A man with a sharp tongue and an annoying personality is a curse to marry!

……

Feeling bored in the afternoon, Jiang Moli and Fan Wenfang played mahjong at home while listening to Ma Hongmei gossip about the compound.

We worked until 5 a.m., and then it was time to prepare dinner before we stopped.

There was a lot of leftover food from the New Year's Eve dinner at noon; we couldn't finish it even by the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Pick a few things, heat them up, and make a radish and meatball soup; that should be enough. We were only halfway through dinner when fireworks and firecrackers started going off outside.

Lu Haoyu and the others, tempted by the offer, put down their bowls and chopsticks and carried the fireworks they had bought that afternoon into the yard.

An Hui was worried about the safety of her grandchildren, so she asked Lu Cheng, who had finished eating first, to go out and look after them.

Jiang Moli happily munched on the cured pork ribs.

She ate breakfast late, wasn't very hungry at noon, and didn't eat much, but now her appetite has returned.

A moment later, Lu Qianqian came skipping in: "Third Aunt, Third Uncle wants you to come out!"

Jiang Moli carried her rice bowl into the yard.

Seeing her come out, Lu Cheng turned to Lu Haoyu and the others and gave them orders: "Alright, you can light the fire now."

In an instant, rockets, sparklers, magic bullets, and firecrackers were set off all at once, adorning the gray sky with brilliance and splendor.

Lu Cheng lit a sparkler and walked to Jiang Moli's side, his deep eyes reflecting a gentle, starlight-like light in the sparkle.

"Does it look good?"

Jiang Moli took the sparkler and waved it. "You specifically called me out just to play this?"

"Do you not like it?"

No, I like it.

The dazzling colors of fireworks can bring endless joy and happiness, but the man's love, which always wants to give her the best of everything in the world, makes her feel even sweeter and happier.

After the fireworks, it was time for the children's favorite part—receiving lucky money.

Starting with Lu Tingting, everyone went around wishing An Hui and Lu Dezhao a Happy New Year.

After exchanging New Year's greetings and receiving lucky money, everyone happily went home.

An Hui has a habit of staying up late on New Year's Eve, staying up past midnight before going to sleep.

Jiang Moli stayed with him in the living room, watching TV to pass the time, and he didn't even know when he fell asleep.

When she woke up, she was already in bed, and Lu Cheng was taking off her clothes.

She lay there lazily without moving, letting Lu Cheng help her take off her coat and pants, and cover her with a thick, soft quilt.

"You go to sleep first, I'll go outside and talk to Mom and Dad for a while."

"Ah."

Lu Cheng kissed her on the forehead and then left.

Fireworks were being set off outside the window from time to time, making a crackling sound. Jiang Moli tried to fall asleep for a while but couldn't, so she picked up a storybook and started reading.

Before I knew it, it was past midnight.

Lu Cheng pushed the door open and came in, somewhat surprised to see that she wasn't asleep. "You haven't slept at all?"

"It's too noisy outside, I can't sleep."

"That's how it is during Chinese New Year; things gradually quiet down after midnight."

Lu Cheng took off his clothes and sat in bed, leaning close to her head to look at the book in her hand. "What are you reading?"

"Story Club, there are past issues on the bookshelf, go and get them if you want to read them."

"I don't want to look, I only want to look at you."

As he spoke, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pressed his face against her soft belly, and gazed at her with eyes as bright as lanterns, filled with joy and reluctance.

He will be returning to his unit after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

This moment together is incredibly precious to him.

His wife was so beautiful. Her face was small, not even the size of his palm, fair with a hint of pink. Her eyebrows were thin and curved, her eyes were round and bright like washed black grapes, her nose was small and pert, and her red lips were like ripe cherries, making him want to take a bite.

Jiang Moli was disturbed by his aggressive gaze, so she closed the book and tossed it aside, her gaze quietly falling on the man's sculpted face.

"Jasmine, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Cheng couldn't help but murmur.
