Chapter 182: New Year's Eve
After a while, Lin Qianxue and Lu Ning came back, carrying a bag of things.
Lin Qianxue said, "I bought some fruit." She put it on the table.
After paying the bill and leaving, Sister Lu took them to her residence. She peeled the fruit Lin Qianxue bought and poured it with honey. The four of them sat on the sofa and ate while watching TV.
Probably because she knew that Su Li didn't like her younger brother, Sister Lu focused more on Lin Qianxue, who might become her future sister-in-law. The more the two of them chatted, the better they got to talking, and they couldn't bear to meet each other so late.
Su Li huddled in a corner, like a transparent person. She felt a little disappointed, but she couldn't blame others.

In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was celebrated across the country, and Aunt Qin's friend, Lu Ning's mother, brought the whole family to Su Li's house to pay New Year's greetings.
There were five of them in total, Lu’s mother, Lu’s father, Lu Ning, Lu’s sister, and one. Su Li looked familiar. After looking at it for a while, she remembered that it was Lu Ziming who had appeared in the KTV celebration after winning a basketball game. It seemed like
That's the name, if I remember correctly.
Su Li was shocked. She didn't expect that Lu Ziming was Lu Ning's brother. She remembered how disgusting he was with the wine and forced her to drink it. He also had a fight with Zhou Qi and quit the basketball team midway. She had a good impression of him.
Low.
Su Li wanted to avoid it, but Lu Ziming had already seen her. He was very surprised, but he still smiled and said, "Happy New Year."
Before Su Li could reply, Lu Ning asked first, "Do you know each other?" with a surprised look on his face.
Lu Ziming replied, "We know each other." When he looked at her, his smile was inexplicably ambiguous.
Lu Ning was even more surprised, "How did we know each other?"
Lu Ziming replied, "At KTV." He did not elaborate on the reason why he went to KTV, which would inevitably lead to misunderstanding.
Su Li explained, "I won first place in the basketball game and went to celebrate."
Lu Ning nodded to show that he understood, "I remember that it caused a basketball craze in the school."
Aunt Qin came over and warmly greeted them to sit down, and brought a variety of fruits and cakes. Dad boiled water to make tea, and handed Dad Lu a cigarette. The two of them sat together and chatted about adult topics.
After Su Li politely said "Happy New Year" to Sister Lu, she sat on a chair next to the sofa.
In fact, I really wanted to leave, but I felt that it would be impolite to do so, and there was no place to go, so I continued to sit there without speaking, trying my best to appear transparent.
There were firecrackers outside, and a group of children were running around laughing. The screams and firecrackers were mixed together, and the New Year atmosphere was very strong.
There was a sketch on the TV. It was from a long time ago. The picture was a little blurry, but it didn't affect the viewing.
Su Li watched it for a while and didn't know whether it was because it was funny or because it wasn't funny. Anyway, she wasn't laughing at all.
After everyone sat for a while, Aunt Qin and Mother Lu went to the kitchen and seemed to want to eat together at noon.
Su Li stood up and followed over, asking, "Do you need my help?"
Mother Lu immediately said, "You are so sensible."
Aunt Qin smiled happily and replied, "Then help wash the vegetables."
Su Li said "Hmm" and walked to the sink to wash the vegetables. The beautiful rapeseed flowers, small yellow flowers, were particularly cute floating on the water.
However, there are bugs.
Fortunately, she was not afraid of these small insects, so she scooped them up with a spoon, threw them in the trash can, and continued washing them.
After a while, Lu Ning came in and asked, "Do you need help?"
Aunt Qin said, "No, go sit and watch TV. The kitchen is small, the three of us are enough."
Lu Ning said "ok" and went out.
Mother Lu said while peeling garlic, "It would be good for us to get married in the future. Ning Ning is about the same age as your daughter, and they seem to get along well."
Su Li blushed after hearing this. She wanted to say something but was embarrassed to interrupt. She could only hope that Aunt Qin would never agree.
I heard Aunt Qin reply, "It would be great to get married, but it depends on the future development of the children. It's still early, and I don't know how it will develop in the future. Just let nature take its course. In this era, it is no longer fashionable.
Baby kiss or something like that.”
"Yes, then just watch, but I really like your daughter, who is sensible and pretty."
Su Li's face turned even redder after being praised, and she lowered her head and went down to wash the vegetables seriously.
After washing the vegetables, I washed the seafood and peanuts.
Mother Lu started to cut it, and Aunt Qin started to heat the pot.
After a while, the fragrant aroma of the dishes wafted up, one after another, and they were taken out of the kitchen after they were done.
Today's dishes are very rich. Su's father specially prepared a bigger table and came out. Lu's father helped set it up and said, "Just have a casual meal, don't make too much."
Father Su replied, "Not too much, not too much, just two or three more dishes than usual. The big table will not be so crowded."
Lu Ning was helping to set up the stools, while Sister Lu and Brother Lu sat on the sofa and continued to play on their mobile phones.
Father Lu looked at it and shook his head, "The bigger it is, the more useless it is."
After hearing this, Brother Lu retorted, "Brother, he is just pretending in front of girls. How hard-working do you think he is?"
Lu Ning became anxious when he heard what he said, "What are you talking about? I usually do more at home than you do."
When Aunt Qin heard that they were arguing, she quickly advised, "For those who are celebrating the New Year, don't worry so much. Come and sit down, and I will serve you soup."
The two brothers finally stopped arguing.
Today's soup is pork ribs and pork belly soup. The soup is milky white, and you can tell it's delicious at first glance.
Everyone sat around, and Aunt Qin filled a whole bowl for everyone, "You can fill it up after you finish eating, you're welcome."
Su Li sat down, deliberately separated from Lu Ning and the others by a seat.
By the time the soup was almost finished, the dishes were served one after another. The whole table was covered with plates, including steamed crabs, braised sauces, sweet and sour pork ribs, jelly of pig's feet, braised fish and various vegetables. Although they were all served by families,
