“I can’t let them see you at my house!” Jin Nian hurriedly dragged Lu An into the room.
Lu An called her by her full name. “Jin Nian, am I that unpresentable?”
Jin Nian was so anxious that she was about to cry. “If my mom finds out that I got married in a flash, she’ll beat me to death! There have been enough messy things during this period of time. I don’t want to provoke her anymore!”
“Are you planning to keep it a secret?”
“No, it’s just that I can’t say it yet.” Jin Nian opened the closet door and stuffed the tall and burly Lu An inside. Lu An’s face was as black as coal. Jin Nian knew that she was in the wrong, so she did not forget to comfort him. “Just bear with it for a while. I’ll send them away soon.”
“Jin…” She had slammed the closet door shut. Jin Nian was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground. She had just closed the bedroom door when she immediately ran to the entrance to open the door. Tan Siyun had been pressing the doorbell for a few minutes and was getting impatient. “What are you doing? Why are you so late?”
“Good girl, have you had dinner?” Jin Chengwen chuckled at the side. “Mom and Dad bought fresh vegetables and fruits from the market near our house today. We thought of sending some to you.”
Jin Nian scratched her head and said guiltily, “I haven’t eaten yet. I just made it.”
Tan Siyun walked into the house and saw the dishes. The anger in her stomach dissipated as well. She did not forget to nag Jin Nian. “Why did you have to move out and live by yourself? It was already so late. After work, you could not even eat a hot meal and had to cook for yourself. Don’t you think it’s tiring? Wasn’t it stay at home where everything id prepared for you?”
“Let’s not talk about this.” Jin Nian giggled. “Have you two eaten? Do you want to eat together?”
“We’ve finished eating at home, you eat.” Tan Siyun waved her hand.
Jin Chengwen looked at the three dishes on the table and could not help but sigh. “My daughter has really grown up. She used to only know how to boil water, but now she knows how to make soup.” Jin Nian picked up the spoon and was about to scoop some rice into the electric pot when she subconsciously looked at her room. Please, please! Lu An must be hiding inside!
“Right, give me the household registration book later,” Tan Siyun said. “You didn’t come home since the last time I asked you to hand it to me.”
Jin Nian’s heart skipped a beat. “I’ve been too busy lately and forgot!”
Tan Siyun rolled her eyes at her. “You think I don’t know you? When you’re busy with work, you can even forget to eat. Forget it, you should just eat your food. Where did you put it? I’ll go find it myself.”
“I’ll get it for you. You don’t know where it is.” Jin Nian quickly stopped her.
Tan Siyun felt that her daughter was acting a little strange today, but she could not pinpoint what was wrong, so she decided not to think about it anymore. Coincidentally, she had brought a lot of fruits and vegetables in big and small bags this time. She went to the kitchen and put them into the refrigerator one by one.
After Jin Nian took the household registration book to register her marriage, she kept it in her bag and never took it out. The red marriage certificate was with it. Jin Nian was afraid that Tan Siyun would see it, so she picked up her bag and went to the entrance to flip through her household registration book.
“Jin Nian.” Teacher Tan suddenly called her name, which gave Jinnian a shock.” What… What’s wrong?” The marriage certificate in her bag almost fell out.
“How long have you kept these ribs in the fridge?” Tan Siyun asked. “Meat that was more than two months old would not be fresh and could not be eaten.”
Jin Nian felt relieved and stuffed the marriage certificate into the innermost part of her bag. “Not too long ago. It’s still edible.”
Tan Siyun added, “Don’t buy these frozen dumplings in the future. I don’t even know what kind of meat the filling is made of.””
“Got it.”
“I bought you some beef. You don’t know how to look at it yourself.”
“Alright, alright.”
Jin Nian took the household registration book. To be safe, she stuffed her bag into the cabinet at the entrance. “Mom, here it is.” “Mmm, you should eat first.” Tan Siyun said. “The dishes are getting cold.”
Jin Nian was like a robot, doing whatever she was told. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and prepared to eat, but when she thought of how Lu An was still hungry and crammed into her small wardrobe, she could not bear to do so.
Jin Chengwen sat across from Jin Nian and looked at his daughter in front of him lovingly. “In the future, if you work overtime again, you can come back to cook. Just give Daddy a call. Daddy will cook delicious food for you.”
Jin Nian winked at him. “Daddy is the best.”
Tan Siyun was still in the kitchen, tinkling sounds can be heard. “Mom, what are you doing?” Jinnian asked. Tan Siyun stuck her head out and said, “I’ll cut the meat and ribs for you. You can just take a piece out when you want to cook. There was also a chicken that had already been chopped up and placed on the lowest level. Remember to make soup for it for the next few days. It’s good for your body.
Also, remember to eat these flower gums and sea cuc.u.mbers. They are not cheap..”
