Chapter 188 New Year's Eve Dinner
Chen Lan and Liu Qing turned their heads to look at Gu Manling, and Chen Lan smiled and said, "What are you doing? We are talking about you!"
Liu Qing quietly stuffed the bracelet box into his pocket and pretended to be nothing.
"Speak me? What do you say? Good or bad things?" Gu Manling looked at Chen Lan, her eyes full of suspicion.
"Of course it's a good thing. I said you are a good girl. I asked Liu Qing to cherish you well." Chen Lan held Gu Manling's arms with both hands.
"Haha, why do you want to say this? He confessed to you?" Gu Manling smiled. Although she was in a joke tone, it was full of temptation and even a bit provocative.
"What are you saying? You're thinking too much." Chen Lan comforted...
,.
Seeing that Chen Lan's tone was firm, Gu Manling pulled her up the second floor, entered her room, raised her left hand, revealing the bracelet that Liu Qing bought for her last night.
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"
Chen Lan took Gu Manling's hand and looked at the bracelet carefully. Although it looked very similar to the one Liu Qing wanted to give her just now, the texture and workmanship were much inferior. She immediately felt sympathy in her heart, but her face was not revealed.
"It's very beautiful, did Liu Qing give it to you?"
"How do you know?"
"You are a new chain. Who will give you this thing except him?"
"Didn't it be that I bought it for myself?"
"No. If you bought it yourself, you wouldn't have pulled me to see you so excitedly."
Gu Manling said proudly: "Xiao Lan, you are so smart. We were together last night and we didn't come back in the middle of the night."
"Good thing, take it seriously. Liu Qing is a good man."
"You think so too? You won't like him too, right?"
Chen Lan smiled, "What? I like Brother Dayong? You know."
Gu Manling looked at her happy look and asked, "Brother Dayong? You have even changed your name. Are you happy?"
"No, but it's almost too late. My dad had already told him about this last night. After he slowly got used to it, we can establish a relationship!" Chen Lan said proudly.
"That's great. With your brother, no, with Tong Dayong's personality, he will definitely obey your parents' arrangements. Xiaolan, your move is so clever!" Gu Manling gave Chen Lan a thumbs up.
"However, I don't think he is in a good mood, so I feel a little worried." Chen Lan said.
"What are you worried about? How much effort did your parents put in raising the two brothers so old? He can even do something like jailing for your brother. Marrying you is a piece of cake, haha!"
"Manling, why do I think your statement is a bit weird? However, it makes sense."
"It was that. Is it easy for your parents to raise them? Now it's time for them to repay your parents. What reason does he have to shirk them?"
Chen Lan didn't want to discuss this topic of repayment with Gu Manling, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's call everyone out for fun, and I will go to my house for the New Year in the afternoon."
The two walked out of the room and found that everyone had gathered in the yard downstairs, only Tong Dayong was not in the crowd.
"Xiao Lan, where is Dayong? Didn't he come back with you?" A Dian asked.
"I'll go to his room to check it out." Chen Lan said.
Chen Lan climbed up the second floor alone and turned left into a small passage. She knew that the innermost part was Tong Dayong's room.
Chen Lan knocked on the door lightly, but there was no response. Then she unscrewed the door lock and pushed the door in. She saw Tong Dayong lying on the bed and was already asleep.
"Brother Dayong, get up, what sleep can I sleep in broad daylight?"
Tong Dayong opened his eyes, "What are you calling me?"
"Brother Dayong."
"Oh." Tong Dayong then remembered that Chen Lan no longer regarded him as his brother.
“Didn’t sleep well last night?”
"I fell asleep in the middle of the night." Tong Dayong said, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Don't be stressed, my dad said, take your time." Chen Lan knew that Tong Dayong was a person with great thoughts and deliberately comforted him.
Tong Dayong didn't say anything, walked into the bathroom and washed his face. He felt much more awake, so he went downstairs with Chen Lan.
Since it is New Year's Eve and we have to have New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon, we can't go too far and can only go shopping in the ancient city.
Although the ancient city during the day lacks the mystery of the night and the romance of brightly lit, it makes people see more clearly and have a broader vision.
During the Spring Festival, there were many people coming to the ancient city for tourism. When Liu Qing went to buy bracelets, he was not very popular on the street because it was too early, but it was almost noon now, and the people on the ancient city street were densely packed and crowded.
Everyone was wandering on various streets such as Fuxing Road, Renmin Road, and Yangren Street, looking at the small bridges, flowing water, green tiles and white walls. The quaint and deep alleys, colorful ethnic costumes, exquisitely crafted crafts, Burmese jade, Pu'er tea, and dried fruits are everywhere.
Of course, special snacks are also everywhere. Since we got up late, no one had breakfast, so now it is time to take the opportunity to taste delicious food. After walking around, everyone is basically full and they don’t have to eat lunch anymore.
After playing until about one o'clock noon, Chen Lan said, "Let's go, everyone will come to my house and have the New Year's Eve dinner before coming over."
So everyone walked into a nearby supermarket, bought a bunch of ingredients and gifts, and took a minibus to Chen Lan's house in Sana Town.
In fact, Chen Lan's parents had already prepared the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner, washed and cut them all, and waited for the pot to be served in the afternoon and then they were ready to serve.
Everyone wandered on the streets of Sana Town for a while. For outsiders, everything here made them full of curiosity. In order to prevent them from going to the ancient city without a car after the New Year's Eve dinner, Tong Dayong specially agreed to two friends with cars and asked them to send everyone to the ancient city later.
In the afternoon, the men were sitting in the yard smoking and chatting, and the women were helping Wu Changlan make the New Year’s Eve dinner in the house. After a while, a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner was ready.
Everyone sat around the table, and nine people in a row, plus Chen Lan's parents, just filled the table.
At the dinner table, everyone cheered and exchanged cups, it was so lively. They wished Chen Lan's parents a happy New Year and good health. The two old men symbolically sent red envelopes to everyone. Although the money was not much, it represented their New Year's blessings to young people. ∧
Chen Lan sat next to Tong Dayong, close to him, and his intimacy was even more intense than usual. He always picked up food for him, shouting "Brother Dayong" one by one.
Among these people, only Gu Manling and Liu Qing knew what was going on, and the others were a little confused.
A Dian asked, "Xiao Lan, why did you change your name to Brother Dayong today?"
Seeing that everyone was not sure, Wu Changlan said, "Let me explain to you that from today on, we will let Dayong and Xiaolan get along with each other through boyfriend and girlfriend. The two of them are no longer the brother-sister relationships they used to be."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Bingbing was the one who was most surprised. She put down her chopsticks and said, "How can this be? Are they not brother-sister?"
