273. Chapter 273 I’m Afraid of Forgetting You

Chapter 273 I’m afraid I’ll forget you

After learning that it wasn’t Xiao Rong’s telegram, Chen Huiying looked disappointed. When she handed the telegram to Li Duoyu, she couldn’t help asking:

“Duoyu, do you know if Xiao Rong will come back for the New Year this year?”

Li Duoyu also frowned. It was indeed almost the New Year, but Xiao Rong hadn’t sent a telegram yet. It seemed that she hadn’t made up her mind yet.

When you go out to work in society, you are not as free as in college. Many things are beyond your control, especially for interns like them, who usually fight on the front line.

“Mom, wait a few more days. Maybe Xiao Rong is too busy at work and forgot to send a telegram.”

“It will be the New Year in two more days. Why do you worry so much about the best child in the family? Duoyu, why don’t you persuade Xiao Rong to come to the hospital in Rongcheng for internship when you have time?”

“Yeah.”

Li Duoyu nodded in pretending to agree, but it was impossible to persuade Xiao Mei. There was still a big gap between the hospitals in Rongcheng and those in Shanghai.

Considering Xiao Rong's future achievements, Li Duoyu naturally couldn't intervene in this matter.

Seeing A Niang's worried expression, Li Duoyu suddenly remembered his past life. He seemed to be the most ignorant and the one who made her worry the most.

In his past life, he was heartless. During the period of selling goods, A Niang worshipped Mazu every other day and prayed for Mazu to bless her.

During the five years in prison, she was always worried about whether he was bullied in there, and from time to time, she stuffed red envelopes to the prison guards.

After finally getting out of prison, he was restless and borrowed high-interest loans to run away to the island country with the snakehead. I don't know how worried A Niang must be.

Come to think of it, it's really unfilial.

Seeing the worried mother, Li Duoyu couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, Xiaorong will take good care of herself. If you are worried, I will take you to Shanghai to find her."

Chen Huiying glared at him and said, "Aren't you kidding me? It's so expensive to go to Shanghai. You still owe so much money to the credit union. Save some money, okay?"

"I know, mother."

After Li Duoyu's words, Chen Huiying shifted her attention and started to get busy again. There were many things to do during the period close to the Chinese New Year.

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year.

But for the locals, the most important thing is to send off the Kitchen God.

The Kitchen God is a god who lives with them day and night, so he sees everything about the family. On the day of the Little New Year, the Kitchen God will return to the Heavenly Palace to report on his work.

In order to let the Kitchen God say more good things for the family, the locals often prepare big fish and meat to entertain them.

In addition to sending off the Kitchen God, they also have to send off the God of Wealth and the God of Land, and they also have to do a big cleaning, so the women in the village will become particularly busy at this time.

Li Duoyu glanced at the telegram. The sender was Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company. He thought it was a New Year's greeting telegram from Chen Jiao.

Unexpectedly, after opening it, it was sent by Chen Yuansu. The content of the letter was a very formal invitation letter.

——

Dear Director Li Duoyu.

The opening ceremony of Sakura Japanese Restaurant will be held at 12:00 on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

You are sincerely invited to come at that time.

Address: Courtyard No. 1, Minjiang Wharf——

After seeing this telegram, Li Duoyu remembered that 1984 was divisible by 4, and there was a leap month this year, so the New Year's Eve of 1984 came later than in the past.

So that the Western Valentine's Day in 1985 of the Gregorian calendar ran before the New Year's Eve of 1984 of the lunar calendar.

Li Duoyu has been a little busy recently and forgot about this matter. He didn't expect Chen Yuansu to send a telegram. If he didn't go, it would be a bit disrespectful.

However, considering that the owner of Sakura Japanese Restaurant is Chen Yuansu, Li Duoyu still asked Zhou Xiaoying for permission next week. After all, women are more sensitive.

If I don't tell her, if I run into her at the scene, I'm sure she'll be kicked off the bed after returning to the island.

Xiaoying has a good personality, she's always gentle, she doesn't fight or compete, but once she gets into a rut, she's no less than their father.

When Li Duoyu told her about the telegram sent by Chen Yuansu, Zhou Xiaoying didn't get angry, but seemed to be ready.

He took out a newly bought leather jacket from the cabinet: "Come on, try it on and see."

"You haven't left the island yet, where did you buy this leather jacket?"

"The supply and marketing cooperative on our island sells it."

"Our supply and marketing cooperative sells it so expensive, why do you still go there? If you go to the county town, you can save at least ten yuan."

"You're talking so much, try it on and let me see if it fits."

Li Duoyu took off his coat and took the leather jacket from Xiaoying's hand. He didn't expect it to be quite heavy, and it was a Fuding brand.

Li Duoyu remembered that this brand of leather jacket was quite famous back then, and the price was not cheap.

Li Duoyu put on the leather jacket and couldn't help asking, "This leather jacket must have cost you several months' salary."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned on the spot, hit his arm directly, and turned it 90 degrees: "In the future, can you stop using my salary as a unit? This makes me look useless."

"It hurts, I was wrong."

"I won't dare to do it again next time."

Li Duoyu is sometimes really hard to understand women. He is usually very frugal, but when it comes to buying things, he is willing to spend such an expensive leather jacket.

After Li Duoyu put on the leather jacket, Zhou Xiaoying looked at him in circles, always feeling that something was wrong.

She took him directly to the only barber shop in the village, gave him a clean and refreshing crew cut, and shaved off all his beard residue.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu after his haircut and found him to be much more pleasing to the eye. Then, she asked him to wear jeans and the pair of leather shoes she bought for him when she visited the island country.

Then she put on the sunglasses he always wore when he was shipping goods.

Li Duoyu posed coolly: "How about it, is your husband handsome?"

Zhou Xiaoying looked at him with disdain and took out a sweater she knitted herself.

"Try wearing a white shirt inside and a sweater outside."

After Li Duoyu took off his leather jacket, he put on a white shirt inside and the sweater knitted by Xiaoying outside.

After putting it on, his temperament changed significantly and he became much more gentle.

Seeing Li Duoyu wearing a sweater, Zhou Xiaoying also showed a satisfied smile: "This one is still better looking."

Li Duoyu smiled wickedly: "But how can I remember that you used to like to wear leather jackets that were a bit naughty. Didn't you have a poster of Liu Wen Zheng in your room at the beginning?" Zhou Xiaoying glared and said: "Didn't you also like women who could dance and sing?"

"God is my conscience, I have always liked you, how could I like those who are in the spotlight."

"Tsk, you liar, when you were in junior high school, you asked me to write a love letter for you, you forgot it so quickly, do you want me to help you recall the content of the letter."

Zhou Xiaoying recited as if reciting an essay: "Dear classmate Wang Zihan, since the first time I saw you, I..."

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoying could really recite it, Li Duoyu quickly covered her mouth.

"If you don't tell me, I'll have forgotten about this person. Let's not talk about such embarrassing things anymore."

"Tomorrow, I will wear the sweater you knitted to attend the opening ceremony."

Zhou Xiaoying glanced at him angrily, as if she remembered a lot of unpleasant things.

In fact, even if Zhou Xiaoying didn't tell him, Li Duoyu would wear a sweater.

Because the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law will also go to the Japanese restaurant tomorrow, and the eldest brother will most likely wear the leather jacket he wore before.

For someone like the eldest brother who has such a strong self-esteem, if he also wears a leather jacket, it will inevitably make him think too much.

Li Duoyu looked at the sweater on his body and found it quite nice, with complex patterns on it: "When did you knit this sweater? How come I didn't know it?"

"You have been so busy every day recently, how could you care about me? I knitted it under your nose, and you didn't even know it."

Li Duoyu smiled foolishly, and then said: "Wait, I will give you something too."

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned: "What else can you give me."

"Guess?"

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said: "No, if you can't guess, just show it to me."

Li Duoyu smiled, took out a small wooden box from his pocket, and handed it to Zhou Xiaoying.

"You are so mysterious, and you even put it in a box?"

Zhou Xiaoying opened it carefully, and when she saw the things inside, she was like petrified.

Li Duoyu looked puzzled and said, "Don't you like this kind of beads? If not, I'll change it for you."

"I like it, I like it very much."

"I like everything you give me."

Zhou Xiaoying's eyes were slightly red. They had known each other for so long since childhood, and this was the first time Li Duoyu officially gave her a gift.

She gently picked up the necklace and said with a smile, "It's really beautiful, help me put it on."

"Okay."

When Li Duoyu helped her put on the necklace, he found that this Melo pearl really matched her.

This kind of yellow beads, if the skin is yellow or black, it really can't be worn. Fortunately, Xiaoying's skin has always been very white.

After the necklace was put on, the effect was very good, especially the obvious flame pattern on the beads, which raised the whole necklace by several levels.

But when Li Duoyu put the necklace on her, Zhou Xiaoying took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.

This sudden sneak attack made Li Duoyu stunned for a while. After so many years of marriage, this was the first time she took the initiative.

Li Duoyu's heartbeat accelerated instantly. How could he hold it back? He picked her up and put her on the bed on the spot.

Then he ran to the door and looked around. After finding that no one was at home, he locked the door and closed the window.

It happened that little Tutu was taken out for a ride by his mother. Recently, this little kid can't be kept at home and always likes to go out.

However, it's good that it finally leaves the two of them with private space. In the past, every time they came, they had to be careful for fear of waking up the little ancestor.

No need to worry today.

After returning to the house, Li Duoyu found that Zhou Xiaoying had already crawled into the quilt, so he crawled in and turned Zhou Xiaoying over with her back to him.

Zhou Xiaoying asked worriedly: "My mother, my second sister-in-law and others are not here."

"No."

"Haoran, they are not here either."

"No, he went out to play with his classmates early in the morning."

"That's good."

Li Duoyu turned over and pressed on her, reaching out to unbutton Zhou Xiaoying's buttons. In the winter, she wore a lot of clothes.

I don't know why, my wife is so beautiful, but in Li Duoyu's mind in the past life, Xiaoying's image has always been a little vague.

Maybe she was too quiet, not noisy or noisy, so that after she left in the past life, Li Duoyu would easily forget what she looked like if he didn't look at her photo.

"Why, you keep staring at me." In broad daylight, Zhou Xiaoying was a little shy when he stared at her.

"No, I just want to look at you a few more times, afraid that I will forget you."

"Psycho."

Since little Tutu was not around, the two finally relaxed a little, but they didn't expect that Chen Huiying would come back holding Tutu just after they started.

She wanted to open the door and go in, but she heard noises in the room.

Chen Huiying couldn't help laughing, so she had to hold Tutu and continue walking around the village. She really hoped that Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying would have another child.

It didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl.

This would make the house more lively. If it weren't for the fact that one of them was the village director and the other was a teacher, they couldn't have a second child. She really wanted to pierce holes in all the rubber rings hidden in the drawer.
