Chapter 154: My Deskmate is as Soft as a Jade Flower (Forty-three)

Zuo Li: "Hehe, thank you grandma. Actually, mom is still a little taller than me, but I can still grow!"

Grandma Zuo glanced at Xu Ru in the kitchen, who seemed to be a little taller.

"It's okay, my dear granddaughter will definitely be taller than your mother." Grandma Zuo was very sure. Xu Ru was only 1.65 meters tall, and Zuo Li's father was 1.79 meters tall. At least her granddaughter could grow a few centimeters taller. She was only 15 years old.

Zuo Li: "Haha, thanks for your good wishes, grandma. Come, let me have some candy, your favorite grape flavor."

Grandma Zuo smiled as she unwrapped the candy Zuo Li had opened. It was quite delicious. She was even happier when she heard that Zuo Li's academic performance had improved.

Grandma Zuo's generation was not very open-minded. Her son had only one daughter and was not planning to have another one, which made them very unhappy.

But over time, your granddaughter becomes obedient, sensible, and pretty. Whenever she smiles, your heart melts, and you want to give her the best things.

Moreover, my granddaughter is very smart. She attends the best high school in the city and has good academic performance. When she was a child, she followed the kid from the Gu family and skipped two grades. Her grades are also comparable to others. She is simply someone else's child. When you think about it this way, what's unbalanced about that?

Every time the old ladies in the village were eating melon seeds and talking about their children and grandchildren, if someone said that her daughter-in-law was not doing well and gave birth to a girl, Grandma Zuo would ridicule them harshly, expose their shortcomings, and then show off how good her son and daughter-in-law were and how good her granddaughter was.

After a while, no one could cause trouble for Grandma Zuo.

In the evening they ate the old hen and sausages that Grandma Zuo brought from the countryside. They were spicy and numbing, and Zuo Li liked them very much.

The next day, Grandma Zuo asked her to deliver sausages and bacon to Gu You's house, and Zuo Li went out happily.

On New Year's Eve, Gu You and his family also came to Zuo Li's house to have the New Year's Eve dinner. To explain why Gu You didn't go back to his grandparents' house to eat, we have to mention the family background of Gu You's parents.

Gu You's father, Gu Zheng, was from the eastern coastal area. After graduating from university, he followed Xue Lanlan to the mainland and didn't go back for several years.

Gu You's grandparents would scold them for this every Chinese New Year, but they were determined not to live in an inland city.

Gu Zheng also has an older brother who is developing in his hometown. After all, the development in the east is really fast.

His parents mainly relied on his older brother to take care of them. Gu Zheng would usually send a lot of things back home during the holidays, but he was never with his parents.

Fortunately, the old couple of the Gu family are university teachers. They are in good health and have only been retired for a few years.

Gu You's grandparents are in Licheng, but Gu You's mother Xue Lanlan's family is in the county under the jurisdiction of Licheng.

Gu You's elder uncle and younger uncle both settled in the county town. His grandparents usually stayed with their two sons for three months each, and returned to their own home for the rest of the time.

This year, Gu You plans to spend the New Year at his uncle's house, so Gu You will also go back to his grandfather's house after the New Year.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, places are decorated with lights and red lanterns hang in every corner of the city.

In this era, there was no regulation prohibiting the setting off of fireworks in cities, so when night fell, Gu You took Zuo Li to set off fireworks in the open space of the community.

The firework stick burst into light in Zuo Li's hand. Gu You took out the newly bought camera and froze the smiling face of the girl in the light screen in the photo.

After setting off the fireworks, they watched the Spring Festival Gala with their elders. As the New Year's Eve countdown was on TV, the fireworks outside the window lit up the entire city, and the sound was endless, bringing the joy of the New Year to everyone.

When the wall clock in the living room pointed to twelve o'clock, colorful fireworks appeared in all directions, lighting up their faces red.

The girl looked at the boy next to her and whispered "Happy New Year". The boy also smiled and said Happy New Year to her and took out a cute red envelope.

Gu You: "Come, collect your New Year's money!"

Zuo Li: "Haha, you're still giving me New Year's money?"
