Chapter 173 Happy New Year’s Eve
Fu Tong and Zhao Xiaotong, who had been waiting in the yard, saw someone coming out and hurried to greet them. Xiao Wu heard the noise and ran to the kitchen to get some hot water.
"Master, the master and the others are in the kitchen."
Lin Jiaojiao nodded and walked towards the kitchen, while Tongfu hurriedly came behind Fu Qi and handed him the hot water bottle.
After Zhao Xiaotong explained the situation, he stood guard at the door and kept an eye on the movements in the house so that he could go in and serve in time.
Lin Jiaojiao and the others came to the kitchen and first went to the sink behind the screen to wash her face with hot water. After washing, she felt much more energetic.
Her right hand was a little sore, especially her wrist, which was cramping. She rubbed her wrist to relieve the pain.
With Tongfu's help, Fu Qi combed her hair and put on hair accessories, wiped her face clean and applied baby cream to prevent her facial skin from drying out in winter.
He looked through the bronze mirror at the woman standing behind him twisting her wrist. He waited until Tongfu had finished putting on the hairpin, then stood up, walked up to her, took her wrist and took a closer look to see if she was injured.
When Lin Jiaojiao saw him look like this, her thick face turned red and she wanted to retract her hand feeling a little uneasy.
"Sister Jiaojiao, what happened to your hand? Does it hurt?"
She lowered her eyes to look at the person who was looking at her with concern. Was she going to say that she used her hands too much after he fell asleep?
Seeing that she didn't say anything and her face was flushed, he put his hand on her forehead and was relieved when he didn't feel hot.
"Tongfu asked Zhao Bo to make a bowl of ginger soup."
"Yes."
She listened to his instructions and did not stop him. It was good, a beautiful misunderstanding. She lowered her eyes and continued to watch him rubbing her wrist. Just as she put her other hand on his cheek and was about to pinch it, she heard Fu's mother's laughter at the door.
"I was wondering why you guys stayed in the next room for so long instead of coming to the kitchen to chat. Hahaha, the relationship between husband and wife is still so good. I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she considerately closed the door. When Fu Qi heard that his mother had pointed out the truth like this, he shyly threw himself into her arms, buried his head in her chest, and called her coquettishly.
"Sister Jiaojiao..."
She was originally feeling embarrassed, but she laughed out loud for no reason when she saw this scene. The man in her arms heard her making fun of him and reached out to tickle her.
"Hahahaha you're wrong, hahaha I'm not laughing anymore, I'm not laughing anymore, hahaha..."
The two of them didn't stay in this room for a while before going to the kitchen next door. However, Fu Qi didn't really want to go in. He was feeling very embarrassed and he felt that his face was completely ruined by his mother's loud voice.
But in order to stay with Sister Jiaojiao, he can be a little thick-skinned.
However, as he followed her, he did not dare to look up at other people, for he was afraid that they would look at him with a smile. He just glanced at his father's position with the corner of his eye and then walked over.
Lin Jiaojiao sat directly at Fu's mother's table. Facing Fu's mother's meaningful smile, she had no choice but to smile and nod in response.
She sat next to her peer Lin Chun and heard her call out "Sister Jiao" in a naive voice. This was the last time she looked at her carefully.
My goodness, although her skin looks a little whiter in winter than in summer, this winter coat can't hide her muscular body.
She also looked down at her arms. They were no longer as strong as when she first wore it, and her abdominal muscles were almost emaciated due to lack of exercise.
"Lin Chun, besides working, how do you exercise?"
Lin Chun, who was standing next to him, was stunned and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I don't exercise much. I just do some boxing when I'm not working."
"Boxing? What kind of boxing?"
"My master has a sandbag at home, so I'll hit it when I have time. But after the holiday at home, I went to the farm to run and do boxing with Sister Lin Fen."
She admired him in her heart, because she knew that being an apprentice was the most tiring thing, and all the dirty and tiring work was done by the apprentices. When they came to build the farm house, she often saw Lin Chun with sweat on his forehead and his clothes wet front and back, carrying loads of blue bricks and soil, and he even had spare energy to exercise himself.
"Would you like to work on the farm?"
Lin Chun felt a little embarrassed again. She still wanted to learn the skills from Master Wang first and become a master. She didn't want to give up halfway.
Lin Dadan was chatting with Fu's mother and Zhang Tong on the side, but she still paid some attention to the situation here. When she heard that the boss asked her daughter to work on the farm, she was very happy in her heart. After all, her daughter was recognized by the boss.
Then she saw her daughter shook her head innocently and refused: "Thank you, Sister Jiao, but I still want to learn the skills from the master first, and then follow Sister Jiao when I become a master."
She was not surprised by her daughter's answer. Instead, she was relieved. She had grown up and had her own opinions. She would not be blinded by immediate interests and knew what she should do.
Lin Jiaojiao admired her even more and reached out to pat her strong shoulders.
"Okay, you're always welcome to join the farm."
"Thank you, sister Jiao."
The group was talking and laughing in the kitchen. In the middle, Lin Jiaojiao drank the ginger soup brought by Xiaowu. Although she didn't want to drink it, seeing Fu Qi looking at her worriedly, she had to drink it all.
Later, Lin Yiyan came to the kitchen and sat next to Fu Qi. There was nothing strange on his face. Instead, he chatted with the people around him in a dignified and generous manner.
Lin Jiaojiao glanced over from time to time. After all, when she was coaxing Lin Yizhi, she didn't know whether he was asleep or not. If he wasn't asleep, it would be extremely embarrassing.
Several times her eyes were caught by him, but all she got in return was a shy smile from him.
Looks like he's asleep, right?
Later, Lin Yizhi also entered the house. Just like Fu Qi at the beginning, he didn't dare to look at the people in the house. However, when he passed by Lin Jiaojiao, he couldn't help but glance at her.
This sight reminded him of the thrilling events that had happened in the house before. His cheeks quickly turned red and he lowered his head and hurried inside to sit down next to Lin's father.
Fu Qi saw that his face was also red, and was afraid that he had caught a cold like her, so she asked worriedly.
"Brother, are you feeling unwell? Your face is so red."
Father Lin was discussing the topic of future grandchildren with Father Fu. After hearing what Fu Qi said, everyone at the table looked over. Father Lin reached out and touched his forehead, which was indeed a little hot.
"Brother Zhao, do you have any more ginger soup?"
Zhao Yang was putting the hot pot base into the pot. When he heard his words, he quickly wiped his hands with a wet towel and walked to the stove.
"Yes, I'll scoop out a few bowls right now. Anyone who's feeling unwell can drink some. Don't catch a cold during the New Year."
Fu's mother thought of her hard work tonight and asked for a bowl for her as well. Seeing this, everyone else also ordered a bowl. After all, it would be too uncomfortable to catch a cold in the middle of winter.
The person involved had already turned as red as a boiled shrimp. How could his body not be hot?
After all, we were having hotpot, and it was not easy to cook on a large round table, so we all sat around two long tables put together. There were four pots on the table, and the table was piled with various dishes.
Lin Jiaojiao picked up the wine glass and stood up first.
"I'm very happy that my family can get together for the New Year. I, Lin Jiaojiao, am very grateful for your company and support. Without further ado, I'll drink this cup. Happy New Year's Eve!"
Everyone else stood up as well, raising their glasses and wishing each other happiness. She looked at the laughter and joy in front of her, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
She believes that every New Year in the future will be as happy and lively.
