In the kitchen, Zhou Jinchuan had already seen the two of them sneaking around.
He asked Su Yi for her opinion in advance, “I guess they’ve already guessed. Can I tell them about our thing later?”
Su Yi smiled with pursed lips, “You can tell them if you want, just make sure they don’t spread it around.”
Zhou Jinchuan quickly agreed with a hum.
Then he secretly kissed her cheek, “I’ll go get them some hot water, I’ll be back soon.”
With that, he took the thermos and went out.
Lu Changzheng saw his cheerful face and couldn’t help but tease, “Hey, you’re willing to come out? I thought you’d be disgusted that we came too early.”
Zhou Jinchuan snorted, “The hot water is here, pour your own if you want.”
Lu Changzheng looked Zhou Jinchuan up and down, finally settling on his apron.
“Old Zhou, your apron is good, and your complexion is good. I remember you weren’t alone with two kids staying in the brigade for the New Year? How come you’re so cheerful, any good news you’re not telling us brothers?”
He finished with a meaningful look at Xie Xiaoyun.
Xie Xiaoyun didn’t dare to joke with Zhou Jinchuan like Lu Changzheng did, he just chuckled, “Commander Zhou, you really look a lot younger after this New Year.”
Zhou Jinchuan glanced at him, “You mean I was old before?”
Xie Xiaoyun quickly changed his words, “No, no, no, before you were mature and steady, now you’re mature with a touch of vitality.”
Lu Changzheng nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, full of vitality! It’s only been a few days, what happened?”
Zhou Jinchuan could no longer hold back his desire to share with the two of them.
But he still decided to keep them guessing, “Guess.”
Zhao Xiaoyun boldly guessed, “Could it be related to Sister Su Yi?”
Zhou Jinchuan smiled with pursed lips, “Don’t call her Sister Su Yi anymore, you should change your address to call her sister-in-law!”
Xie Xiaoyun was stunned, then immediately reacted, “Really?! Commander Zhou, you’re finally not alone!”
Lu Changzheng was also very surprised.
Although they had some suspicions before,
They never imagined that Zhou Jinchuan, who was like a silent, brooding man, would act so quickly when it came to big things.
“When did you two… good for you! Last time I asked you to introduce the little hot pepper to me, you wouldn’t budge. So you were already interested in her back then?”
Zhou Jinchuan glared at him directly, “What little hot pepper?! That’s your sister-in-law, be careful with your words from now on.”
Lu Changzheng pointed at Zhou Jinchuan with his finger, “Okay, you little rascal, you’re putting your love before your friends! Now you’re being protective!”
Zhou Jinchuan simply ignored him, and only warned, “She’s thin-skinned, you two just keep this to yourselves, don’t talk about it outside.”
Lu Changzheng snorted, “She’s thin-skinned, she…”
He only got halfway through his sentence before Zhou Jinchuan’s sharp gaze stopped him.
“Fine, fine, fine, sister-in-law is thin-skinned, we’ll all be nice to her.”
Xie Xiaoyun also quickly nodded in agreement, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
Then, Zhou Jinchuan also told them about Su Yi buying a storefront and wanting to open a restaurant.
“It’s just after the New Year, it’s not easy to find people yet. If you two have time, come with me in a few days and help us clean up.”
Lu Changzheng suddenly stood up, “Okay, I was wondering why you were so kind to call us over for dinner. It turns out it was a banquet!”
He pretended to pull Xie Xiaoyun away, “Let’s go! We’re not eating.”
Zhou Jinchuan just stood there with his arms crossed, smiling as he watched him act.
“If you don’t help with this little favor, don’t come to the restaurant to eat in the future. I was planning to treat you both to dinner after the opening.”
Xie Xiaoyun quickly sat back down, “Commander Zhou, I didn’t say I wouldn’t help. Sister Su Yi, ah no, Sister-in-law, she’s cooked me a lot of delicious food before. Even if you didn’t ask, I would still go and help.”
Lu Changzheng, hearing this, pretended to be angry and pointed at Xie Xiaoyun.
Then he chuckled, “Just kidding, how could I not help? Speaking of which, what kind of dishes is Sister-in-law planning to sell?”
“Sichuan cuisine!”
“Sichuan cuisine?! That’s great, I love Sichuan cuisine. For the sake of Sichuan cuisine, I’ll definitely help.”
Su Yi was listening intently to the sounds outside while cooking in the kitchen.
Unfortunately, the kitchen was too noisy, and she couldn’t hear clearly.
Just then, Zhou Jinchuan walked in and saw her with her ears perked up, her brows furrowed, trying to eavesdrop. He found her adorable.
He quickly walked over and smiled, “What are you listening to?”
Su Yi blushed and blinked, “Did they say anything? They didn’t say anything bad, right?”
Zhou Jinchuan secretly put his arm around her waist, leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Yes, they know about us being together and about helping with the restaurant.”
“They’re probably too busy congratulating us, how could they say anything bad.”
Su Yi felt a tickle in her ear and worried that the two outside would see them and tease them.
She quickly pushed him with her elbow, “Don’t move around.”
Then, she quickly gave him a task.
“Go clean the table and get the bowls and chopsticks ready, we’re about to eat.”
Zhou Jinchuan saw that her ears were red, and he didn’t dare to continue teasing her.
He quickly agreed and went out.
During the meal, they couldn’t escape Lu Changzheng’s teasing.
He raised his glass and was about to toast them, urging them to get their marriage license soon so they could have a wedding banquet.
Xie Xiaoyun also raised his glass to congratulate the two.
This was the first time Su Yi formally met Zhou Jinchuan’s brothers as his significant other.
It was impossible to say that she wasn’t shy at all.
But since they had decided to go down this path together, she naturally wanted to give him enough face.
So she confidently raised her glass in return.
Seeing Su Yi finish it in one go, they couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up.
They then teased, “Sister-in-law, how did you two get together? Who confessed first?”
Su Yi shyly glanced at Zhou Jinchuan, then quickly spoke before he could, “It was me, what about it?”
Zhou Jinchuan then quickly said, “She’s right this time, but I proposed first!”
“Proposed? ” Lu Changzheng and Xie Xiaoyun looked at each other, both confused, “When did that happen?”
“Last autumn.”
“!!!”
The two silently gave Zhou Jinchuan a thumbs up in their hearts. They didn’t expect him to have such guts so early on.
And he was so boldly admitting it!
Love really can change a person.
They chatted and laughed for a while, and the two children were already getting sleepy after eating.
Su Yi quickly got up and took the two children to bed.
When she came back, she heard Lu Changzheng gossiping to Zhou Jinchuan,
“You guys don’t know this yet, right? Before we came, Qin Yunfeng and that violinist from the art troupe were making a scene in Commissar Wang’s office!”
Hearing the gossip, Su Yi perked up.
She quickly set up a stool and sat down, “Ah, what happened?”
