In the courtyard on Shuying Road, Wen Qiao's family was having the New Year's Eve dinner. Uncle Ji was also there and he brought over a casserole.
Su Yun took a rag and spread it on the table. Uncle Ji opened the lid of the earthenware jar and said with a smile, "Fish and mutton are all in one pot. You guys try it. It tastes very fresh."
Su Yun served some soup to Wen Qiao: "Try to drink it."
Wen Qiao held the bowl and looked at them with a smile: "Mom, when are you going to marry Uncle Ji?"
Ji Mingyuan smiled innocently: "I was planning to hold a wedding banquet, but your mother...she didn't agree."
Wen Qiao shrugged: "Why don't you agree?"
Su Yun sighed softly: "We are both getting married for the second time, why do we need to hold a big banquet?"
Wen Chi: "What's wrong with a second marriage? Look at celebrities abroad. Not to mention a second marriage, their third and fourth marriages are still grand."
Su Yun glanced at him and said, "Can we compare with foreign stars? We just live our lives and don't pursue those flashy things."
Ji Mingyuan winked at Wen Qiao, indicating that she should persuade her mother.
Among them, only Wen Qiao could convince her mother.
Wen Qiao understood: "Uncle Ji wants to hold a banquet because he values you. As long as you are happy, no one cares whether it is your first or second marriage, and no one stipulates that you can't hold a banquet for a second marriage. Uncle Ji wants to hold a banquet, and he only invites some of his closest relatives and friends."
Ji Mingyuan: "Yes, yes, what Qiao Qiao said is what's in my heart."
Wen Qiao held up his chin and said, "You held a wedding banquet for your first wedding but not for your second wedding. Wouldn't Uncle Ji think that you just want to live with him?"
Su Yun is willing to marry Ji Mingyuan, it's really not just for the sake of doing it.
It is really not easy for her to meet a man at this age who is willing to treat her well sincerely and for several years, and who never thinks of giving up when she doesn't give in.
She was only in her early forties and was not a heartless person. She knew that Ji Mingyuan treated her well because he liked her. She also developed feelings for this generous and kind man and seriously wanted to be with him.
Su Yun was somewhat moved: "Then... let's talk about it later."
Ji Mingyuan winked at Wen Qiao and gave in. It was easier to convince him afterwards. It turned out that Qiao Qiao had a way.
Ji Mingyuan was happy and opened a bottle of Moutai. Wen Qiao brought the small wine glass closer to him. Su Yun clapped her hands and said, "What kind of wine are you drinking, kid?"
Wen Chi raised his eyebrows: "Mom, she's in a relationship, she's not a child anymore."
Ji Mingyuan said happily: "It's a rare opportunity, let Qiao Qiao have a small drink."
The family of five ate a hot New Year's Eve dinner and drank and chatted happily. Occasionally, Wen Qiao could see the warm smile in Xiaomo's eyes. Now Xiaomo was bathed in an atmosphere of love, and things were getting better and better.
Wen Qiao was so happy that he couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
When there was a knock on the door, Wen Qiao was a little upset. Her face flushed. She held her chin and rubbed Wen Mo's head: "You called me sister."
Wen Mo put down his chopsticks and pursed his lips, as if he was having a fierce psychological struggle. His lips moved, he clenched his fists, and opened his lips. Wen Qiao rubbed his head: "Yeah, I heard it. Sister heard Xiao Mo calling her sister in her heart."
Ji Mingyuan went to open the door and was a little surprised to see Fu Nanli. "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"Wen Qiao, I'm her boyfriend."
Ji Mingyuan quickly welcomed the person into the house.
"Qiao Qiao's boyfriend is here." Ji Mingyuan said.
