Chapter 661 Visit for New Year’s Greetings 2
Dajun was there, which was no surprise to Shen Mianmian. Dajun hardly had any relatives and was usually alone. In the village, he had a relatively good relationship with Lu Siyuan, and since Lu’s grandfather was still around, he definitely needed to make a New Year’s visit.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."
Shen Mianmian grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and sat in front of the brazier to warm up by the fire. Lu Siyuan also took some sunflower seeds and sat down beside her.
Lu’s grandfather and Shen Mianmian started chatting about family matters. "Siyuan mentioned you would come over on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Seeing this heavy snow, I thought you wouldn’t arrive until after the fifth day." Today’s weather was good, but the snow wasn’t melting that quickly. The snowfall had been intense. It would take quite a few days for it to completely melt. The city was quite a distance from here, yet she arrived on the second day.
Shen Mianmian responded with a smile, "A friend drove to Zhao Family Village, so I took the opportunity to come along."
Upon hearing that Shen Mianmian came with a friend, Dajun guessed that it was He Nan who had brought her, but he didn’t comment on it.
On the other hand, Lu’s grandfather was relieved. He knew about the issues between Shen Mianmian and her family, but after all, he was an outsider and didn’t feel it was his place to comment, though he always told Lu Siyuan to be nicer to Shen Mianmian.
Shen Mianmian was sensible and got along well with Lu Siyuan. He always liked Shen Mianmian very much and even thought about making her his granddaughter-in-law, but it was only a thought.
It was an era of freedom of marriage, and he couldn’t impose those old-fashioned ideas.
After chatting with Grandpa Lu and Dajun for a while, Shen Mianmian prepared to join Lu Siyuan in the kitchen to cook. Grandpa Lu was reluctant to let Shen Mianmian do any work and kept telling her not to go.
"Let Siyuan do it. It’s cold outside; take a rest here."
