The old man kept nagging, but seeing Tang Xuan was there, he was embarrassed to say too much, so he just asked him to save money and not let Tang Xuan suffer with him.
In the afternoon, Tang Xuan accompanied Ji's mother to visit relatives. The old man also had her own vanity. She told everyone that this was her daughter-in-law, which made people jealous.
Who told them to say that Ji Yang would not be able to get a wife if he didn't get married?
With the heater, it was not so cold at night. The signal here was not very good, but Ji Yang had a lot of movies on his computer, and it was a different kind of warmth for the two of them to watch movies together.
After three days, it was New Year's Eve.
Every household began to prepare for the New Year, young people began to return home, and there were more people on the road, and it felt a little bit of the end of the year.
The snow fell harder. Tang Xuan was afraid of the cold, but she wanted to go out to make a snowman, which made Ji Yang very helpless.
That night, Ji's father and mother gave the two red envelopes to keep for the New Year.
Ji Yang gave two hundred yuan as usual, but Tang Xuan's red envelope was bulging with brand new red bills.
"Isn't it unfair?" he protested.
"What do you think is too little? I'll give you a little." Ji's father retorted, squinting at him, as if he thought he was talking too much.
"What do you mean?" Ji Yang took another look at the red envelope.
"You're almost thirty, what's the point of saying this? Take it quickly, if you don't want it, give it back to me, you can buy two packs of cigarettes." Ji's father said as he stretched out his hand.
Ji Yang reluctantly put it in his pocket, like a child who failed in an argument with his parents, a little naughty.
Tang Xuan was actually gloating on the side, looking at the way the family got along with each other and a little envious.
Big cities ban salutes, but in small counties like this, no one cares. From nine o'clock, there were continuous sounds of cannons, and the air was also filled with the smell of gunfire.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The fireworks bloomed in the sky, deafening.
Ji's mother and father went to visit other people's homes and watched the Spring Festival Gala. The reason why there was no TV at home was that neither of them liked to watch it at home, so they liked to go out and chat.
Ji Yang walked outside holding Tang Xuan's hand, looking at the beautiful fireworks from time to time and talking about what would happen next.
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived.
There were sounds of cannons from all directions, and every household had to set off a firecracker, and the New Year atmosphere became stronger.
On the other side.
Fang Xin had a big quarrel with her family, slammed the door and went into the room, refusing to eat out of anger, brushing her phone on the bed, and complaining to Dai Zini.
My brother married my sister-in-law and gave birth to my nephew. The family had complicated interpersonal relationships, and they had to give red envelopes during the New Year and other festivals. They were short of money, so naturally they couldn't give much.
My sister-in-law thought that she was so stingy despite wearing all branded clothes, and she had an opinion on this. My parents thought that she should have a plan. She was in her twenties and shouldn't be so miserable.
They quarreled on New Year's Eve.
After secretly complaining, she casually opened her Moments and scrolled down, and suddenly stopped at Ji Yang's latest Moments.
He had never posted photos of Tang Xuan, nor would he show affection in Moments, this was the first time.
The text was a very ordinary sentence: "In the new year, Miss Tang is smiling happily."
The accompanying picture was Tang Xuan facing the camera, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, and a little indulgent, with his figure reflected in her eyes. The photo seemed to be a snapshot, like a real life record.
There was no retouching or posing, Tang Xuan looked very attractive.
Many people liked it, and several male colleagues in the company who were good friends with him would even joke, "When are you going to have a wedding banquet?"
"I've prepared the money for the gift."
"It's time to meet my parents."
...
She thought Ji Yang's private life was messy, so he deliberately hid Tang Xuan. Now he replied generously: "This matter needs to be discussed with the leaders at home, I will try to be quick!"
In his words, he praised Tang Xuan very highly, which aroused a lot of envy and jealousy.

Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, you can pay New Year's greetings.
Ji Yang is the only one in his generation who has not married. This year, he brought back his fiancée, and the family was curious.
Many people came to the Ji family to pay New Year's greetings this year.
The eldest aunt's family, the second aunt's family, and the uncle's family, all the married cousins came. There were more than a dozen of them. A large table of food had to be prepared. Ji's mother was too busy to handle it alone, so Tang Xuan went inside to help.
Ji's father asked Ji Yang to buy wine and take the New Year peanuts and started chatting with a few men. Looking at Ji Yang, a big worry in his heart was put down.
"Your girlfriend has a high salary?" The eldest cousin asked Ji Yang bluntly, "How much is it a month?"
"At least six or seven thousand, sometimes tens of thousands, and they earn more in the city." Ji's father couldn't help but float after drinking two sips of wine.
He had an accident and didn't make money, so there were always people who looked down on him. Now Ji Yang has a promising future, and the girlfriend he brought back is also excellent, so he feels that he can be proud of himself.
"It's so high, what does it do?" The eldest cousin's words were full of meaning, and her tone couldn't help but be sour.
"There are so many ways to make money." The second cousin reminded her, "You just don't know."
"Why don't I know?" The eldest cousin was not convinced and glared.
"She designs high-end furniture because she studied design in college and works in an office to draw." Ji Yang pretended not to understand her implicit meaning and explained.
There are so many relatives, and there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts.
"They are white-collar workers." The second cousin emphasized.
The eldest cousin paused for a while, and her tone was still a little proud, "She studied design. I also wanted to learn English before."
"How many years ago was that? Why are you still talking about this?" The second cousin of the second aunt said with a smile.
"I wanted to go to school before, but my mom didn't let me? She told me to work outside. I got full marks in English in primary school. If I had finished junior high school, would it be like this now?" When she mentioned this, her cousin's face darkened.
"Okay, how many years ago was that? You were playful, and now you're putting all the blame on me?" The eldest aunt also felt embarrassed.
Tang Xuan came out, and Ji Yang pulled her to sit beside him.
