I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 531: This Bastard Tiegen

Chapter 531: Chapter 531: This Bastard Tiegen

For the Lunar New Year, Suizi originally wanted to get up early and prepare the New Year’s feast with her mother-in-law.

All the New Year’s dishes need to be prepared in the morning of the eve of New Year because no one can cook for the next few days at home.

But Yu Jingting turned off her alarm clock, and by the time Suizi woke up, Wang Cuihua had already prepared more than half of the dishes.

Suizi was angry as hell. She had diligently maintained her record of being a good daughter-in-law for a whole year, and now it was ruined by this big bad egg, Yu Jingting.

"Where’s Yu Jingting?" Suizi woke up and enquired about him by his full name. She wanted to drag that rotten egg, Jingting, out for questioning.

"He and his dad have gone out to buy firecrackers, don’t be mad at him. It was me who told him to turn it off. You’ve been busy all year, it’s time you took some rest,"

Wang Cuihua chattered with Suizi about everyday matters.

"Suizi, do you think we should get a cat? I’m always worried that the medicinal herbs in our storeroom will be nibbled by rats."

Wang Cuihua was somewhat scared of rats, recently she always felt that there were rats in the house, always hearing slight noises in the middle of the night.

Suizi thought to herself that her son is the biggest rat of all.

Every now and then, Yu Jingting would sneakily go to the cupboard to steal something to eat, leave crumbs from his steamed bun without sweeping, and his grandmother would always suspect rats.

"Sure, let’s ask around and see if any of the neighbors have any kittens, we can pick one that’s good at catching rats."

Now that they had agreed on getting a cat, Wang Cuihua was pleased. She never understood why a hideous creature like a rat exists on Earth, they always bothered her when she saw them.

Suizi washed her hands, tied on an apron, and started preparing food with her mother-in-law.

Wang Cuihua had finished all the dishes that needed to be fried or stewed, Suizi just had to get the filling for the dumplings ready. That night, everyone will get together to make dumplings. It was the most ceremonial moment of the year.

After a while, Yu Jingting and his father came in with a pile of firecrackers. Before lunch, they were going to let off a string of firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers was all over the street. All the children came out, and in groups of three or five, they rummaged through a pile of spent firecrackers, looking for any unlit fizzlers.

These tiny firecrackers would become a source of happiness for the children during the New Year.

Jiaojiao also went out to collect some. Her family was not short of firecrackers, but the joy of rummaging with the crowd was priceless. After busy searching, she brought back a pocketful of fizzlers and proudly showed off her haul to Suizi.

Little Luobo can already stand now, he was swayingly standing in the snow, like two fat penguins. Yu Jingting, with great interest, was taking pictures of them with his camera.

Suizi, having finished her work, opened the cupboard to get her coat and intended to go find Yu Jingting and the children. When she opened the cupboard, she was dumbstruck.

"Mother, where are my clothes?"

She had deliberately made two new coats for the New Year.

They were all gone.

In their place was a padded jacket that Suizi had never seen before, but upon catching sight of it, she was completely flustered.

"Didn’t Tiegen prepare new clothes for you? I saw him, early in the morning, acting mysterious. While you were still asleep, he sneaked them into the wardrobe, saying you’ll definitely be surprised when you see it."

Suizi was completely speechless.

She was indeed surprised.

As for happiness... While she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, did that count?

Perhaps in order to emphasize the mystery of this New Year’s gift, that rotten egg, Tiegen, removed all other clothes and left only this one. Suizi had to wear it, whether she liked it or not, there was no choice.

Suizi steeled herself, took out the jacket and managed to pull it on.

She didn’t dare look in the mirror after putting it on. Peeping outside, she made sure there weren’t any neighbors on the street. Everyone was busy preparing for New Year’s, presumably no one would notice her strange attire. Only then did she dare to go out and find Tiegen to question him.

Wang Cuihua watched as her daughter-in-law, with her fiery red silhouette, marched off and sighed.

"Suizi really looks good, wearing this flower jacket is so refined, I did well in choosing a daughter-in-law for my son."

In terms of aesthetics, Wang Cuihua and Yu Jingting are exactly the same, a mother and son inheritance.

Just as Suizi stepped out of the courtyard, she saw her son face down in the snow. She dashed over in fright, just about to help her son up, when Yu Jingting’s provocative voice came from above:

"Don’t move! I’m taking a picture here!"

Suizi was puzzled. Her son lay face down in the snow, what kind of weird pose was this?

Looking up, Suizi almost fainted.

Yu Jingting, holding his daughter in one hand and a camera in the other, was standing on top of the neighbor’s gate, standing!

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Luoluo’s view has become so high but she was not afraid at all, giggling in her father’s arms.

With her son still lying motionlessly on the ground, Jiaojiao ran over, followed by a large patch of winter sunlight. Yu Jingting stood on the gate, playing the role of director.

"Jiaojiao, exaggerate your expression a bit, show surprise, as if you don’t know the child on the ground. Yes, open your mouth wider."

"Ah! How did this child fall over!" Jiaojiao dramatically exclaimed.

Suizi: ???

"Okay, got that shot. Now on to the next. Jiaojiao, help Bobo up and slowly brush the snow off him."

Yu Jingting took a couple of shots. Hmm, that worked.

"Good, the effect is excellent!"

"May I ask what you’re photographing?" Suizi asked.

"Helping Jiaojiao with her homework. Didn’t the school assign a winter holiday task for her to do good deeds? Also, we need to submit a letter of recommendation."

"What does that have to do with having our son lie in the snow?"

"When others submit homework, our Jiaojiao submits photos. I’ve already thought of what to tell the teacher. We’ll say we were walking when we saw a child lying there. Jiaojiao helped the child up and his parents were so moved they gave her a photo as a memento. What do you think of this theme?"

Suizi held her forehead.

Great, wasting her valuable film, and even fooling children into strike poses in the snow!

"This is cheating, you know? Do you get a kick out of deceiving teachers?" Teacher Xiaochen looked down upon this unreliable brother.

"Is this homework meaningful?"

Yu Jingting was particularly unhappy about the school always assigning "commendation letter" assignments during the holidays, feeling it to be the biggest formality.

Every time this type of assignment came up, parents had to rack their brains to fake the commendation letters. In fact,a lot of the letters were written by parents. Wasn’t this forcing parents to demonstrate dishonesty to their children from an early age?

"Before school starts, let Jiaojiao lead the children in our neighborhood to clean windows at your factory. You can write a commendation letter and stamp it with your factory’s stamp. This way, all the children in our area will have their commendation letter issue solved. Won’t that make Jiaojiao’s homeroom teacher less annoyed?"

Although it would be untrustworthy to have a bunch of kids clean windows and adults would have to redo the cleaning after them, it was still better than taking fake pictures of a son lying down.

As long as the homeroom teacher had an IQ of over 80, they would know how fake this photo was.

Not to mention who would have photos taken while doing good deeds. Even if we were to fake it, at the very least, Jiaojiao and Bobo should change their clothes. They were both wearing the same kind of clothes. Were they trying to fool foreigners with this type of photos?

All three children at home were dressed in matching red cotton jackets, specially prepared by Wang Cuihua for the New Year. The fabric was all the same, anyone with eyes would know they were family.

Yu Jingting, with his daughter in his arms, struck a pose of an eagle spreading its wings.

"Baby girl, watch as Daddy takes you for a flight~"

"Don’t jump!!!" Suizi’s heart was about to leap out."
