Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 203

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV in the living room, and dumplings were cooked in the pot in the kitchen. Outside the window, there was a bright lantern, and broken snowflakes were falling under the night sky.

John Qin came to the dining table carrying bowls of steaming dumplings, wiped his hands and sat next to his best friend.

Nancy Feng was holding her chopsticks, sitting obediently, with bulging pink cheeks and bright eyes.

Yuan Youqin looked at the two of them in the light, not knowing what was going on. The more he looked at them, the more comfortable he felt, so he turned around and started conspiring with John Zhenghong who was stewing vegetables.

"Lao John, your son brought me back."

"Did you really bring it back?"

"Well, just sit outside. You can continue cooking. I will go back to the room and wrap a red envelope for her."

John Zhenghong raised his spoon and looked at her: "You are too positive, aren't you talking about being a good friend?"

After hearing this, Yuan Youqin thought for a while: "If you're celebrating the New Year, even if you're not your girlfriend, it's not too much to give her a red envelope. I'm so happy seeing her being so good, why can't I give her one?"

"I understand, do you want to occupy it first?" John Zhenghong revealed the secret.

"If someone calls me Auntie, I am an elder."

"People say that mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law are not easy to deal with. It's better for you. When you see one, you want to abduct them home. This time you got your wish."

Yuan Youqin couldn't help but sigh: "My son who has raised such a child suddenly brought a girl home on the night of New Year's Eve. My mood is really complicated and happy. Don't you feel the same way?"

John Zhenghong added some water to the pot and closed the lid: "It's a bit complicated, but I suggest you ask clearly, so as not to end up in vain."

"Who? Ask John Qin? Does that bitch have a word of truth in his mouth?"

"That's true, but he had been hiding it before. Why did he bring it back so generously today?"

Yuan Youqin lowered her voice: "It's because my family hasn't come back to celebrate the New Year, so it feels lonely to eat New Year's Eve dinner alone."

After hearing this, John Zhenghong thought it was very reasonable: "Since no one at home brought it back, it means that it has not yet been officially introduced to us. I suggest you not to get involved."

"I have the final say in the daughter-in-law I want. What right does John Qin have to say?"

Ms. Yuan wiped her hands, turned and entered the bedroom. After taking out the red envelope prepared for John Qin, she returned to the restaurant and handed it to Nancy Feng.

"Nan Shu, Happy New Year. Auntie will give you a red envelope. I wish you peace and happiness every day."

"Auntie is a good person."

Nancy Feng took the red envelope, glanced at John Qin, then carefully put it into his pocket and patted it twice with his hands.

John Qin took a bite of the dumplings that were not dipped in vinegar and thought to himself, Guo Zihang, Guo Zihang, you really paid for those roast chickens in the past by mistake.

Everyone is pretty much the same good friend, right?

Moreover, we have known each other since elementary school, so there is nothing wrong with us.

Then why does the little rich woman get a red envelope for the first time she comes, but you don’t even receive a red envelope when you come often?

You need to reflect on this issue carefully.

After a while, the stew was ready. Yuan Youqin and John Zhenghong came to the dining table and announced that dinner was ready with smiling faces.

Although the dumplings on New Year's Eve this year were made without vinegar, they were no less happy than when they were dipped in vinegar.

"Is there Zhao Benshan in this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"If the Spring Festival Gala of any year didn't have him, could it still be called the Spring Festival Gala?" John Zhenghong took a sip of the wine in his glass.

John Qin was eating dumplings and watching the TV series "Not Short of Money". He couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe we won't be able to see it in another year or two."

"The Spring Festival Gala in recent years has become more and more boring. If Zhao Benshan's sketches are gone, there will really be no need to watch them."

"Nancy, eat more food." Yuan Youqin doesn't pay attention to the Spring Festival Gala, but only pays attention to Nancy Feng.

Although she was not sure whether it was her daughter-in-law, she still couldn't help but pick up food for the little rich woman over and over again.

She really wanted a daughter. Maybe parents who only have a boy in the family would have this idea. They felt that their daughter was so obedient that they were loved by others, and that the boy was too naughty. Unfortunately, John Qin was the first child, so this This wish cannot be realized.

At this moment, Nancy Feng has really fulfilled all of Yuan Youqin's fantasies about a well-behaved daughter. She eats whatever she wants and seems to be well-raised.

John Qin looked away from the TV and glanced at the little rich woman: "You didn't eat like this before, right? Why are you so ladylike today?"

"This is what I used to eat." Nancy Feng looked serious.

"No way, you are a foodie and you dare to eat chili peppers in big gulps."

"John Qin, you are a bad guy."

Yuan Youqin knocked on the table angrily: "John Qin, you've eaten enough to hold on, why are you always bullying her?"

...

How about I leave?

It seems that I am the only outsider in this family.

John Qin secretly complained in his heart, but did not dare to say it out, lest he would be unhappy during the Chinese New Year, so he wisely shut up and ate dumplings silently with his head down.

Nancy Feng pursed her lips, her eyes full of pleasure, like a silly cat being pampered, her beautiful eyes reflecting the warm light.

The next chat is more interesting.

Yuan Youqin asked how they met, and the little rich woman answered honestly, saying that John Qin kicked me, and Yuan Youqin's five-word comment broke his legs.

John Qin was drinking tea and listening next to him. He felt a chill in his knees. He was afraid that his old cold legs were attacking him again.

In fact, Yuan Youqin had many more in-depth questions that he wanted to ask Nancy Feng, but they had already been analyzed by John Zhenghong before eating.

It's the first time a young girl comes to visit her, and it's not the kind of formal relationship. It's not appropriate to ask too many questions, so it's better to just let things take their own course.

It's yours, you can't run away without occupying it first.

Yuan Youqin thought this was true, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Late at night, Uncle Gong drove up to pick up Nancy Feng. He stood by the flower pond downstairs and kept waving, so John Qin took the little rich woman down.

Although she was reluctant to leave, there was no way to keep her overnight.

Yuan Youqin was still standing on the balcony at this time. Looking at Nancy Feng's back as he got into the car, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. It would be great if such an old daughter-in-law could stay at home, and she could also give it to relatives and friends who came to visit her tomorrow morning. Take a look around.

"Master John, let's leave first."

"Wait a minute, Uncle Gong. I'll keep you for a few minutes. I have something to ask you." John Qin called Uncle Gong.

Uncle Gong turned his head: "What's wrong?"

"I'm curious, why doesn't anyone accompany Nancy Feng to celebrate the New Year?"

"Actually, the uncle wanted her to go to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year, but the eldest lady didn't want to go. It's probably the fourth year now. She has always celebrated the New Year alone."

John Qin thought of the information form: "I have seen the information registration form. The little rich woman has no mother?"

Uncle Gong pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes, Master John."

"Now you have a stepmother?"

"Yes, Master John."

"It's her father and her stepmother's family currently celebrating the New Year in Shanghai?"

"Yes, Master John."

"Is Nancy Feng's stepmother a very powerful woman?"

...

Uncle Gong was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and remained silent.

John Qin actually also knew that it was difficult for Uncle Gong to continue to answer this question, because as a driver, he certainly could not use his own subjective judgment to evaluate the boss's family affairs and his family.

But this silence is actually an answer, and there is no need to ask more questions.

"When are you going to Shanghai?"

"We will leave early tomorrow morning. Secretary Liang and I will accompany you all the way. Master John, don't worry."

John Qin glanced at Nancy Feng through the glass and found that Nancy Feng was also lying on the window looking at him: "Uncle Gong, did the little rich woman... go to pay New Year's greetings voluntarily?"

After hearing this, Uncle Gong nodded: "The eldest lady not only goes to pay New Year's greetings to the uncle, but also the grandparents, uncles and aunts, especially the eldest lady's aunt. They miss her every year and have been clamoring for them since the twelfth lunar month. See Miss."

"Okay, I'm fine."

"Master John really doesn't want to see the eldest daughter of our family suffer any injustice."

Uncle Gong muttered something happily in his heart, and then drove into the endless night.

At this moment, a burst of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded, which immediately brought the taste of the New Year to its peak.

John Qin looked at the time and found that it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning. The notice banning fireworks seemed to cover the first half of the night but not the second half of the night.

Early the next morning, the snow stopped falling, and the entire Jeju was covered in white.

Since seven o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, the John family has welcomed many guests who came to pay New Year's greetings. The whole house was full of smoke and seemed very lively.

Hongrong Home is a relocation area. Although the infrastructure is average, the good thing is that relatives and friends live nearby, so it is very convenient to pay New Year's greetings.

Yuan Youqin is particularly happy this year. When she hears other people say how their daughter-in-law is doing and how their eldest grandson is doing, she doesn't feel unhappy at all. Sometimes she even gets involved and expresses her own opinions.

You know, Yuan Youqin has always avoided such topics since Sister Li had her eldest grandson and went around making trouble for others, but today's sense of participation was unexpectedly strong.

"I think a daughter-in-law must be good."

"I think my daughter-in-law must be tall."

"I think my daughter-in-law must be white."

Some relatives and friends who are not getting along with their daughter-in-law will laugh and say, Youqin, you are really good at dreaming. You must have drank a lot last night, and you still haven't sobered up yet.

"John Qin, how have you been studying lately? You're going to college, so you're not being naughty or making trouble."

"Mom, Mom, here is my trophy. Take it out quickly and let my cousin open his eyes and see what a learning star is!"

John Qin poured tea and shouted into the room, not to mention how arrogant he was.

The relatives gathered in the room held the trophy and passed it around. They all gave thumbs up and praised the star of study.

"There are newspapers, Mom, bring me the Linchuan Youth Newspaper!"
