Yu Lu tilted her head slightly, the smile in her eyes became wider, and she pointed at the tree in front of her, "I'm laughing at the little tree being able to withstand so much snow."
She didn't tell the truth. Could she tell her husband that life was not easy? What if her husband really wanted to think that she was unhappy in the Wang family
Wang Wei glanced at his wife who was supporting him and said, "It's cold outside, let's go back."
"Well, did you eat anything at my brother-in-law's house?"
Wang Wei, "It's stewed mutton hotpot. My brother-in-law is too polite. I asked him to come back for dinner but he refused to let me."
"It's rare for you to go there."
The Spring Examination will be held after the New Year. My husband is very busy every day and has not left the house for some time.
"I see that you look a little tired. You must be tired."
Yu Lu was happy that her husband could see that she was tired, which showed his concern for her. "I have rested for a while."
"I know the end of the year is very busy. If you are tired, take more rest and don't exhaust yourself."
Yu Lu shook her head. "Giving gifts during the New Year holidays is the fastest way to understand a relationship. Don't worry, I know my limits."
"Um."
The New Year comes just a few days after the Little New Year. The Zhou family’s New Year is very lively. At night, fireworks are set off everywhere, lighting up the entire capital.
After staying up all night to welcome the new year, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren couldn't bear it anymore and went to bed early. They were also the first ones to get up in the morning.
In the entire mansion, only servants were busy working, while the masters were still sleeping soundly.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren walked along the path. The yard was full of servants cleaning up the shells of fireworks. "I don't know how long the fireworks lasted last night."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "The children are all grown up, and their own coffers are full. If each of them buys a little, it will add up to a lot."
When he was at home, his son was calculating his wallet every day. The brat even brought his great-granddaughter with him. The little girl was at her cutest and she called him "great-grandfather" so sweetly. As a result, his wallet was empty. These fireworks must have been contributed by him.
Zhulan also thought of it and laughed, "If you wish me a happy new year, I will give you a big red envelope."
Zhou Shuren was happy, "It must be bigger than the children."
"Your requirements are really low."
Zhou Shuren, "No matter how much I want, your son will be thinking about it. It's enough if I get more than their red envelopes."
Zhu Lan glared, "You're the one who spoiled me."
Zhou Shuren sighed, "Year after year, I feel more and more reluctant to leave."
Zhulan was silent. Both of them wanted to see their son get married and have children.
The two of them took a walk and then returned to the main courtyard. They had breakfast together. After they rested for a while, they arrived at their respective rooms one after another.
The Zhou family didn't have any new members this year, but Changyi came back, and the children got an extra red envelope, a big one at that, and they called him "Second Uncle" and "Second Uncle" so sweetly.
Zhulan’s red envelope remained unchanged, and after paying New Year’s greetings, this year’s New Year has passed.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, married women return home. However, Zhou family's daughter-in-law, Ran Wan, was pregnant and couldn't go back, so she didn't go back. The other daughters-in-law had no parents to return to. Only when Xuemei and Xuehan came back, together with Yushuang and Yulu, did the second day of the Lunar New Year become a real reunion year for Zhou family.
This year's new daughter-in-law Mu Lan received the most attention, received the most red envelopes and made a small fortune.
Zhou Shuren took his sons away, and the boys of his grandchildren also went out, leaving only the women in the house.
Zhulan couldn't go to the Wang family in person, as if she was worried about Yulu. Li wanted to go often, but she stopped her. Only when Yulu came back could Zhulan see her granddaughter. "Is the child still bothering you?"
Yu Lu shook her head, "He's not making a fuss anymore. He's very well behaved now."
Yu Lu felt at ease when she returned home. No one was always staring at her and finding fault with her. She could sit and lean back in any comfortable position. Her parents' home made her feel relaxed.
During her first New Year at the Wang family, she only felt exhausted and mentally tired. New Year's Eve was okay, but New Year's Day was very lively. She could always find some faults with the second and third rooms.
The fat baby in Yu Shuang's arms had just woken up and was clinging to its mother. Even when Zhao tried to hold him, he wouldn't let her. Yu Die and others were surrounding the baby.
Li was chatting with her elder sister-in-law, while Su Xuan was chatting with Xue Han. The room was very lively.
Zhulan was in a daze. She seldom recalled the scenes of celebrating the New Year in modern times. But today she recalled it again. It was better when her grandparents were still alive. Later, she mostly celebrated it by herself because she felt like an outsider whenever she was on either side of her parents.
In ancient times, she was the absolute center of attention, and everyone surrounded her. Zhulan watched Yujiao and Yudie quarreling again, "You two should be careful not to get the melon seed shells on your sister-in-law."
Yudie stuck out her tongue and became obedient, pushing the fruit in front of her to her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, eat the apple, and you will be safe and sound in the future."
Ran Wan said to her sisters-in-law, she likes Yudie the most, Yudie has the liveliness that she doesn't have, "Okay, everything is fine."
Li said cheerfully, "I just listen to Die'er's words."
Zhao finally got her grandson. It felt like a family of a different generation. After the boy was born, she would go to her daughter's house whenever she had nothing to do. At the end of the year, she hadn't seen her grandson for a while. She heard her eldest sister-in-law say, "Sister-in-law, don't praise her. Her tail should be up to the sky."
Yu Jiao rolled her eyes, "Then I want to see Third Sister's tail."
Yuyi grabbed her sister's clothes and said, "I think you want me to help you."
Yu Jiao became honest, "Sister, I didn't say anything just now, it was Fifth Sister who said it."
Yu Wen was distracted, and after hearing this, she said, "This is a blatant way of shifting the blame."
Yu Jiao cried out, "Fifth sister isn't asleep yet."
Then everyone laughed, and Yu Wen rolled up her sleeves, "Fourth sister, help me catch her."
In the front yard, Zhou Shuren took his son and son-in-law to play cards, but Zhou Shuren just didn't want to play.
As Zhou Laoda was playing, he sighed, "I already have a granddaughter, and next year I will have two more grandchildren."
Zhou Laoer was not envious, "I also have a grandson."
Jiang Sheng paused, "Maybe I will become a grandfather too?"
This news brought silence to the poker table, and Zhou Shuren was also stunned.
Rongchuan was not envious. He wished his daughter and son grew up slower so that he wouldn't marry his daughter off. When he thought of those marquises, he just didn't want to.
Jiang Sheng was embarrassed when everyone looked at him. "No, I meant maybe, maybe."
Changzhi, "I think my brother-in-law misses his grandson."
Jiang Sheng, "..."
Not really. Instead, I was thinking about his parents.
In another room, Mingyun and his friends were playing games in groups of two. Mingyun smiled and said, "I'm the boss, so I'll choose the people first. How about this, since I'm already an official in the court, it's not easy for me to bully you. I'll choose Mingjing."
Minghui chuckled twice, "Brother is treacherous."
Changzhong is just there to watch the fun, "Then don't play games that involve memory."
Mingyun remained calm, "Okay."
Mingjing trembles when he sees the eldest brother. Ever since he was exposed, he has fallen into the hands of the eldest brother. Looking at the other brothers who think they are getting the advantage, he laughs in his heart, you know too little about the eldest brother!
