This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 181 Guo Jun receives Chen Shuning’s blessing

There were also two bottles of good wine hidden in Chen Aidang's bag.

As soon as the food was served, he mysteriously pulled out some wine and said, "Come on, everyone, sit down. Today is New Year's Eve, let's have a couple of drinks."

Chen Aidang poured a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Xianghua. He said solemnly, "This glass of wine is for my sister-in-law!

For so many years, it is you, sister-in-law, who has been busy taking care of this family. I know this well. Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work~"

Liu Xianghua was a little surprised. She took the wine glass and said, "Third brother, why are you so polite? Yes, I take care of the family, but you and the second brother don't ignore it either.

Your eldest brother and I have limited abilities, so we only contribute physically. Aren’t you and the second oldest responsible for the financial matters? We’re a family, there’s no need to be so distant.”

Chen Aidang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. If my second son and I were to pay someone to take care of our parents, we wouldn't be able to find someone as dedicated and devoted as you, no matter how much money we spent.

Before I came here, Jiahe's mother told me to thank you very much. If you hadn't been at home taking care of my parents, we wouldn't be able to work outside with peace of mind.

"Alright..." Chen Aiguo interrupted Chen Aidang: "Third brother, your sister-in-law is right, there is no need for family to be so distant. Hurry up and sit down to eat!"

"Hey~" Chen Aidang responded and poured a glass of wine in front of Chen Feng: "Dad, your son toasts you~"

Chen Feng raised his hand and jokingly said, "Alright, stop saying such cheesy things."

"Hehe..." Chen Aidang chuckled and said flatteringly, "Dad, I'm telling the truth, how can it be corny?"

Guo Junshan quietly divided the dishes and chopsticks, thinking to himself: I think Shu Ning has inherited her uncle's mouth...

The whole family sits together and has a great time.

During the meal, Li Zhen remembered that Guo Junshan had to go to work the next day, so she quickly took out her handkerchief and gave the children New Year's money. Although it was only 20 cents, everyone got one.

Not to mention Chen Shuning and the others, Guo Junshan is also involved.

He felt an indescribable warmth in his heart as he held the two cents. Although the Guo family was not short of money and had never treated Guo Junshan unfairly, he had not received any New Year's money since he was a teenager.

Guo Junshan solemnly took the money, stood up, bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma~"

Li Zhen was startled and said quickly: "Oh~ kid, you don't have to bow——"

Chen Aidang put down his glass and said, "Xiao Guo, you are such a real kid! You don't have to be so polite."

Chen Shuning looked up and glanced at Guo Junshan. Seeing how happy he was to receive the New Year's money, he took out a dime from his pocket and put it in his hand: "Brother Guo, Happy New Year!"

Guo Junshan felt the dime was hot in his hand.

He blushed and explained, "Shuning, I haven't received New Year's money in many years. I'm a little excited. Actually, I'm not short of money..."

"I know." Chen Shuning said with a smile, "You have a formal job, so you must not be short of money. This is a New Year's blessing. I hope everything goes smoothly for you in the new year."

Chen Shuning originally wanted to say that he wished him great wealth, but he felt that mentioning money was too vulgar, so he just said that everything went smoothly.

Guo Junshan solemnly put the money into his trouser pocket and said firmly: "Shuning, with your words, I will definitely be smooth sailing."

"Sister, where's my New Year's money? You can't be partial~"

Chen Shuning took out another dime from his pocket and put it into Chen Jiahe's palm: "I've prepared it a long time ago. I can forget anyone but you~"

Li Zhen explained, "In previous years, we always gave out lucky money on the first day of the new year. I thought Xiao Guo had to go to work tomorrow and was in a hurry this morning, so I gave it tonight. Don't ask me for more tomorrow—"

Chen Jiaxing smiled and replied, "I understand, grandma." Then he raised his hand and stuffed the money into Ji Xue's hand.

According to custom, people stay up late on New Year's Eve.

The older generation chatted about family matters, and the younger generations gathered around Guo Junshan and listened to his stories.

His voice was pleasant, and the stories he told were fascinating. Before he knew it, Chen Shuning was hooked...

Guo Junshan finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, but it wasn't long before he opened his eyes. He looked at the time and slowly sat up.

Chen Jiahe's legs were resting on Guo Junshan's body. He gently moved Chen Jiahe's legs away and covered him with the quilt. He turned his head to look at Chen Jiawang who was sleeping soundly before getting up.

The fire in the stove had just gone out, and the water in the pot was still hot. He tiptoed off the kang, washed his face carefully, opened the door and walked out.

Chen Aidan got up early, lit a fire, and heated up the dumplings left over from last night.

Seeing Guo Junshan coming out, Chen Aidang waved and said softly: "Xiao Guo, come and have dinner~"

Guo Junshan originally wanted to get up and cook, but he didn't expect that there was someone who got up earlier than him and had the ready-made food to eat.

The hot dumplings were placed in front of him. Guo Junshan picked up one with his chopsticks, blew on it and put it in his mouth.

Chen Aidang looked at Guo Junshan seriously, then came over and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Guo, do you like Shu Ning?"

"Cough cough cough-"

When his thoughts were suddenly exposed, Guo Junshan gasped and pounded his chest and coughed violently.

"Third, cough cough cough - Third Uncle -"

"Oh, are you really that scared?" Chen Aidang quickly poured him a bowl of water and handed it to him. "Man, such a small thing is really frightening you like this? Drink some water."

Guo Junshan coughed again and lowered his voice to ask, "Uncle San, how did you tell that?"

Chen Aidang chuckled and said, "How can I tell?... You look like you want your eyes to be on her body. If I can't tell, then all these years of military service have been in vain. Tell me, what are your plans?"

Guo Junshan took a sip of water, put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Uncle San, I do like Shu Ning. But she wants to go to college, and I can't say it clearly at this juncture.

If she lets her relationship problems delay her college entrance exams, she'll regret it later. I'm thinking of telling her after she gets into college."

Chen Aidang nodded and motioned Guo Junshan to continue.

"As for me, I won't stay in Dahe Town for too long. I came here under disciplinary action. Now that the case in Jing City has been solved, and I contributed a little, I'll probably be back in Jing City in the spring.

You all know my family's situation. My grandfather and I have decided to let Shu Ning go to university in Beijing. She already has good grades, and I'll give her some tutoring over the next few days. I think she'll be fine."

"To be honest, I've even decided which university Shuning can go to. I'm just waiting to discuss it with her after she finishes her exams."

"As for tuition, I can actually afford it, but Shu Ning has a bad temper, so she definitely won't want it. I'm thinking of finding a job like tutoring so I can earn money while studying."

Chen Aidang nodded and warned, "Remember what you said. Don't hinder Shuning's future. And don't do anything excessive. We are not a casual family."

"Uncle San, you're all looking at me. I've never crossed the line. I'm not a frivolous person, and Shu Ning isn't a casual person either. Please rest assured!"

Chen Aidang said earnestly, "As elders, we shouldn't interfere in your affairs. However, since the relationship between our two families is so good, I hope you can reconsider this matter carefully."

If you and Shu Ning can be together, everyone will be happy. But what if you can't be together? Don't let your reasons ruin the relationship between the two families. "

"Uncle San, don't worry, I won't force Shu Ning to make any decision. If she really doesn't like it, I will bless her. I won't be so selfish as to ruin the friendship between our two families."

Chen Aidang patted his shoulder and warned him, "Remember what you said."
