Chapter 445: Red Envelopes for Chinese New Year
"Let's eat first," Father Lu walked in front and stretched out his hand to Xia Baobao, "Biaobao, come here and let grandpa hug you!"
Xia Baobao immediately trotted over and threw himself into Lu's father's arms.
“Grandpa, congratulations on the meal, Happy New Year, give me the red envelope!”
I don’t know who he learned this from, but he happily stretched out his hand.
Father Lu was equally cheerful, "What did Bao Bao just say?"
Xia Baobao immediately spoke again: "Congratulations on the meal... No, no, no, it's congratulations on getting rich! Grandpa, give me the red envelope!"
Everyone was amused by his reaction.
Father Lu took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Xia Baobao's down jacket pocket, "Biaobao, make sure you pack it well."
"Thank you grandpa!"
Ji Yu stood behind Lu Qingyuan and watched, but he didn't expect that another red envelope would be stuffed into his hand the next second.
"I have both, including the small fish."
When Xia Anan saw Xiaoyu's surprised look, she wanted to say it was okay and let him accept it first, but a bulging red envelope was also stuffed in her hand.
"this is for you."
"Ah?" Xia Anan was at a loss.
Lu Qingyuan pinched it and motioned for her to keep it: "This is the red envelope for you, put it away quickly."
"Do I have one too?" Xia Anan looked at the two elders in front of her.
Father Lu: "Of course, you all have it. The food is getting cold. Come quickly."
Today is New Year's Eve. The custom here is to have reunion dinner at noon and in the evening, and to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning on the first day of the new year.
At the dinner table, Father Lu and Lu Qingyuan were talking about things in the company, while Xia Anan and Jiang Xueyin were chatting about some topics between women.
The other two children ate their meals obediently, still thinking about the small fireworks they brought back from the mountainside villa.
Big fireworks are not allowed, but small ones like these are okay.
Before Xia Anan and the others finished eating, the two children had already run away.
"We are going back to the Lu family's old house tonight to celebrate the New Year together. Do you want to come with us?" Lu Qingyuan asked.
Xia Anan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. You can bring Bao Bao back this year. Xiaoyu and I will wait for you at home."
Even if it was some serious occasions, Xia Anan still felt more comfortable at home.
"That's fine. Those old men can't say anything good. You can go back later."
If it wasn't arranged by his parents, Lu Qingyuan would not be willing to go.
Before the four of them set out for the old house, Xia Anan couldn't help but give some instructions.
"Don't drink too much, don't let anyone bully you, and be careful on the road."
Xia Baobao raised his little arms, "Don't worry, Mom, I will protect Dad!"
Xia Anan: "Okay, thank you very much."
Lu Qingyuan lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, "Don't worry, we will be back soon."
After the four people left, the villa suddenly became quiet.
"Xiaoyu, let's do handicrafts together!"
Xia Anan remembered seeing fireworks made of twisting sticks on the video platform a few days ago. She had never tried to make them, so she decided to try it with Xiaoyu today.
Make the Twisting Sticks into the shape of blooming fireworks and then add small colored lights.
Xia Anan and Xiaoyu made several in a row and hung them on the orange tree as decoration.
In the evening, Xia Anan planned to cook dumplings. The dough made with fruit and vegetable juice was brightly colored and looked very appetizing.
Xia Anan ate twenty and Xiaoyu ate a dozen, and the two of them could finish wrapping them in a short time.
As soon as the dumplings were put into the pot, the cell phone rang.
"Aunt An An, phone call!"
Xiaoyu trotted over to bring her cell phone.
The number was unsigned, but Xia Anan knew who it belonged to at a glance.
"Hey?"
"An'an, I heard that Lu Qingyuan and Bao Bao went to the Lu family's old house to celebrate the New Year today. If you are alone at home, do you want to come back for dinner? I'll pick you up now."
Meng Yuanlan asked tentatively.
"No need, just eat as a family."
Xia Anan hung up the phone and pushed the bottom of the pot with a spoon to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
"An An, if you don't want to see..."
"Anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."
Without waiting for Meng Yuanlan to say anything else, Xia Anan hung up the phone.
She handed the phone to Xiaoyu who was waiting nearby, "Xiaoyu, go out and wait for me. The dumplings will be ready soon."
Ji Yu took the phone and nodded.
At the dinner table, the little guy suddenly asked, "Aunt An An, is it because of me that you don't want to go back with Bao Bao and Uncle Lu?"
The nanny wanted to eat with her son and didn't let me sit at the table...
Is he a burden to Aunt An An?
"what?"
Xia Anan was surprised why he thought so and immediately started to explain.
"It's not Xiaoyu's fault. It's because Auntie doesn't want to go."
She picked up a dumpling and said, "Look, Bao Bao has never eaten dumplings like this before. We will send him a message later. He will definitely cry for it!"
"really?"
"Of course!"

"Jiaojiao, you must be exhausted from being busy with your brother's affairs during this period. Eat more. You've lost weight."
Meng Yuanlan put a piece of fish into Zhao Yunjiao's bowl, her eyes flickering.
Zhao Yunjiao nodded with a faint smile on her face, "Thank you, Mom."
Zhao Yuanzheng, who was at the other side of the table, cleared his throat and asked casually, "By the way, Jiaojiao, how is the situation between you and the kid from the Fu family going now?"
Zhao Yun smiled shyly.
"Mom and Dad, Scarlett and I are still just friends. There is no rush for my affairs. My brother's affairs are the most important right now."
As she said this, she stood up.
"Brother must be hungry now. I will go and bring him food!"
Meng Yuanlan and Zhao Yuanzheng watched her carry the tray upstairs, then looked at each other.
After turning the corner, the smile on Zhao Yunjiao's face disappeared.
She raised her hand and pushed open the door in front of her.
The lights in the room were dim, the curtains were closed, and a man was chained to the bed.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and looked over, his eyes red and immediately filled with hatred.
"Brother, it's time to eat."
Zhao Yunjiao walked closer and placed the tray in front of him.
"Isn't today's meal very sumptuous? Oh, I almost forgot to tell my brother that today is New Year's Eve. Although my brother can't have the reunion dinner at the same table with us, Auntie has made a lot of his favorite dishes."
She picked up a piece of fish and handed it to Zhao Yunzhou's mouth, but the smile on her face was cold but without any warmth.
"Brother, why don't you eat? If you become thin and hungry, our Zhao family won't be able to explain to anyone."
Zhao Yunjiao said this, but her hands did not stop moving, and she moved the piece of fish closer.
The fish bone pierced Zhao Yunzhou's lip, and a few drops of blood flowed out.
Zhao Yunjiao: "Brother, eat quickly, otherwise mom and dad will be unhappy again."
"roll!"
Zhao Yunjiao sighed and put down the spoon. "Okay, if you don't want to eat, that's fine, but you have to be honest. After all, your wedding is coming soon."
She considerately pulled Zhao Yunzhou's quilt before going out.
