On the way back, Grandpa casually asked: "It’s New Year’s, what’s all the fuss at the Li family?"
Wang Xiaoxin explained what the young daughter-in-law of the Li family had done and added: "She seed like such a timid person, but who knew she’d have such guts."
As they spoke, the dishes were already served, and everyone was gathering around the table. Grandpa looked at everyone and said: "Ti flies so fast, it’s already New Year’s Eve again.
Co on, everyone, let’s have a toast, to wish everyone good health, smooth work, progress in studies, and all the best in the new year!"
Everyone raised their glasses together, the clinking sound was so delightful.
Then Grandpa said: "For this next toast, let’s wish Stone and Yu Qi, this young couple, as in a few months there will be a new life coming, and let’s wish them a healthy and beautiful baby."
Xiao Yu looked at Yu Qi’s belly: "Auntie, when will the little brother be born?"
Guan Yuqi laughed: "About seven months to go. Does Xiao Yu prefer a brother or a sister?"
Xiao Yu laughed: "I like both brother and sister. Then I won’t be the youngest anymore, and he’ll have to call brother."
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
After the al, Lu Yichen took the lead, joined by Lu Yixuan, Stone, and Taifeng, to clean up the dishes.
Luo Qiao and Wang Xiaoxin washed the fruit, made tea, and the whole family happily watched the Spring Festival Gala together.
The children gathered together, sharing various candies and speaking in funny, childish words.
With the change of programs, the family chatted cheerfully all over the place, very warm and cozy.
Until the clock struck and the song "Unforgettable Tonight" played again, after setting off firecrackers in the yard, everyone finally dispersed to wash up and rest.
Luo Qiao kept watching her grandfather this evening, feeling an indescribable emotion.
In fact, Grandpa was already tired, but he insisted on staying up. Several tis Luo Qiao wanted to ask him to take a rest early, but was stopped by Lu Yichen.
Back in their room, Luo Qiao lay in Lu Yichen’s arms and asked puzzledly: "Brother Chen, why not let Grandpa go to rest early."
Lu Yichen tightened his embrace: "Grandpa has been strong his whole life, and tonight he’s been holding on. If he feels sothing wrong with his body, he must have noticed it already, but didn’t voice it. Give him so ti to adjust."
The next morning, the Gu family happily had breakfast, barely cleaned up the dishes when the Li family behind them started quarreling again.
It turned out soone had sent word to the young daughter-in-law’s family, who hurried over upon knowing their daughter was hit.
Judging by this, the son-in-law’s family of the young Li daughter-in-law does care for their daughter, but anyone with so sense would know it’s not that simple.
This ti, Wang Xiaoxin didn’t imdiately run to see the commotion; she was busy braiding pretty little braids for her daughter and two nieces.
Not long after, Xiao Mingyang ran over: "Auntie, I’m here."
Luo Qiao happened to co out and caught the rushing Xiao Mingyang: "Where’s your mom?"
Mingyang, fond of his second aunt, hugged Luo Qiao’s neck: "My mom went to the back to watch the spectacle."
Luo Qiao laughed: "Why didn’t you go?"
Xiao Mingyang grinned at Luo Qiao: "All that quarreling, nothing interesting, and that woman spits while she talks, it’s disgusting."
This amused Luo Qiao greatly: "Then go inside and play."
Luo Qiao went into the kitchen, preparing with Auntie Tang to fry chicken nuggets for the kids.
The two worked well together, fast-paced, and when Wang Xiaoxin ca out, the frying was already underway.
The three were in the kitchen when they heard that not only was it quarreling at the back now, but they had also started fighting. Wang Xiaoxin remarked: "It’s like a big drama during the New Year."
The few chatted in the kitchen when Lu Yichen walked in: "Qiaoqiao, Sister-in-law, Grandpa asked Big Brother and to visit Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Jing; we’ll be back for lunch."
Luo Qiao nodded: "Okay, drive safely."
Wang Xiaoxin laughed: "Grandpa sure is wise."
Luo Qiao laughed too, knowing the quarrel would escalate before long, possibly needing their involvent, and avoiding it seed prudent.
Lu Yichen and Lu Yixuan hadn’t been gone long when the Li family’s eldest son ca over, explained his purpose.
Luo Qiao said: "I’m really sorry, today’s the first day of New Year, my elder brother and Yichen went to visit old friends on Grandpa’s behalf."
The Li family’s eldest son had to leave awkwardly.
In a bit, Lu Yiting returned, slling the aroma as she entered the door, walked quickly to the kitchen entrance: "Sister-in-law, what delicious thing have you made?"
Wang Xiaoxin laughed: "Your nose is so sharp, just fried a batch, and you’re back."
Lu Yiting laughed narcissistically: "That’s just luck, haha."
Wang Xiaoxin talked like that but picked a piece to feed Lu Yiting: "How is it, taste nice, huh?"
