Chapter 268: New Year

Xu Mingyue opened the door and saw Su Yu wearing a bright red little dress. She also wore a matching fluffy headband, and the two ears on it wiggled with Su Yu's movements, absolutely adorable!

Sweetie, what's wrong?

Ji Yan came over to invite Xu Mingyue to spend the New Year at the Su Family, but Xu Mingyue initially refused. Even if the whole in‑law family agreed, they still couldn't go.

That's against the rules!

But she couldn't resist Ji Yan and Su Yu's joint coquetry. Su Yu also spouted a bunch of twisted logic, saying that rules are meant to be broken.

In the end, her expectations for her daughter and the persistent pleas of her granddaughter overcame her rule‑keeping heart. Xu Mingyue moved into the Su Family and celebrated the New Year with them!

Outside the door, Su Yu hopped around merrily!

Grandma, Grandma, Mom said we need to cut paper decorations, please come quickly!

Su Yu isn't great at drawing, but the paper decorations she cuts are beautiful!

Su Yu has already shown off her paper decorations to her eldest uncle, great‑grandmother, and father; only Grandma and Grandfather haven't praised her yet!

This paper decoration is so cute!

Xu Mingyue looked at the little bear in Su Yu's hand and lavishly praised it!

Hehe, I cut it!

If she had a tail, Su Yu's would probably turn into a fan—both proud and excited!

Our baby is awesome!

Grandma, let's cut paper decorations together!

Su Yu took Xu Mingyue's hand and left; Ji Tianlin let out a sigh of relief, and now it was his turn to act freely!

Putting up "fu" characters, hanging lanterns, affixing paper decorations, and pasting couplets… the whole family decorated the villa in a bright, bustling festive atmosphere!

In the evening, Su Yu washed her hands, looked at the table full of dishes, and was utterly amazed!

Wow, Mom, there are so many dishes, we can't finish them!

Xu Mingyue smiled and said, "May we have abundance every year!"

Alright! May we have abundance every year!

At the dining table, Su Yu was like a player who entered a game's card pool, first securing draw (eat) cards (greens) and vouchers (dishes), then happily drawing (eating)!

Even if she draws (eats) something she doesn't like, it's fine; she can keep drawing (eating)!

Chicken, duck, beef, lamb, fish, shrimp, abalone… all kinds of meat dazzled Su Yu's eyes!

They ate the New Year's Eve dinner for almost an hour; Su Yu, with her big belly, leaned on Xu Mingyue's lap and asked her to massage her stomach.

The family gathered in the living room, watching the Spring Festival Gala lively and chatting about happenings in their circle.

Su Yu was massaged into a drowsy state until a splash of red appeared before her eyes.

Baby, Happy New Year!

Great‑grandmother, Happy New Year!

Su Yu held the thick red envelope from great‑grandmother, her eyes squinting into a slit with joy!

She is the youngest in the family and the first to receive a red envelope! Starting with great‑grandmother, the last one to give a red envelope was Su Yi.

These are the New Year's money from the past three years that Dad forgot to give you; this time we've given them together!

Thank you, Dad!

【Getting money from Dad's hand is way more fun than chatting with him!】

Su Yi: Thanks!

Fortunately, he's still a junior, and he received New Year red envelopes from great‑grandmother, his father‑in‑law and mother‑in‑law, and his older brother.

It's just that his father‑in‑law acted strange; before he seemed pleased with him, but when giving the red envelope he wore a stern face. Could it be that his father‑in‑law's money is also handed over to his mother‑in‑law, making him reluctant to give the red envelope?

In the past, Su Yi would still be willing to scrape together some money to appease his father‑in‑law.

But not anymore!

All his money went to Ji Yan, and a leaky little cotton jacket kept siphoning his pocket money from time to time; he truly can't save any secret stash!

Baby, still want to watch the fireworks?

The servants in charge of the fireworks have prepared everything and are just waiting for the host's command!

We want to watch; let's go up to the roof!

Alright!

The whole family went up to the roof, and the people below handling the fireworks lit the firework tubes.

Boom!

Wow, it's a big tiger!

Wow! It's a flower!

…

Each time Su Yu saw a firework, she shouted loudly; the adults smiled warmly, watching her point and shout, occasionally echoing her twice.

Finally, Su Yu fell asleep against the backdrop of fireworks filling the sky.

The next morning, Su Yu felt a bit regretful, 【Next time, we should go earlier; I didn't even finish watching!】

Wulongcha finished watching, and the fireworks scene was breathtaking and beautiful!

【Didn't you have your dad help record the video?】

Su Yu smiled and nodded. After getting up, washing up, she went out and only saw the butler.

Butler Uncle, Happy New Year!

Miss Xiao Yu, Happy New Year!

On the first day of the New Year, Su Yu looked at the empty table, tilted her head, "Butler Uncle, hasn't anyone woken up?"

Right!

The butler dared not tell Su Yu that after she fell asleep last night, the Eldest Young Master grabbed the fairy wand prepared for Su Yu and played with it gleefully! The Second Young Master copied him, and eventually the whole family was on the top floor playing all sorts of small fireworks.

Bored with the fireworks, they returned indoors and played Aeroplane Chess together; at midnight they joined the TV for a countdown. When the countdown ended, they finally went back to sleep.

It's only 8 a. m. now, so it's normal that they can't get up.

After Su Yu finished breakfast, she was bored alone and thought of her fairy wand. Playing with a fairy wand in broad daylight isn't much fun, but it's still a pastime!

"Butler Uncle, where is the fairy wand I want to buy?"

"You have no guardian now, so you may not play! You can watch TV first!"

"Alright!"

Su Yu turned on the TV, which was mostly reruns of the Spring Festival Gala. Su Yu wasn't interested, so she asked the butler to bring the household gift catalog; she wanted to pick gifts for great‑grandfather, great‑grandmother, and all the older brothers and sisters!

Su Yu spent half an hour selecting, then went upstairs to change clothes, and was handed a mobile phone.

"Miss Xiao Yu, Miss Huo Huo and Miss Can Can are looking for you!"

"Huo Huo, Can Can, Happy New Year!"

"Little sister Xiao Yu, Happy New Year!"

"Softie, Happy New Year!"

Liang Yan looked at the catalog and papers on Su Yu's desk and asked curiously, "Little sister Xiao Yu, are you studying seriously?"

"No, I'm picking gifts to take to great‑grandfather's and great‑grandmother's houses! Not only gifts for great‑grandfather and great‑grandmother, but also many older brothers and sisters!"

Her family is wealthy, yet they spend extravagantly! She was very curious how families with little money manage; just giving gifts is a huge expense!

Curiosity aside, she wouldn't be reckless enough to ask, fearing she'd get another class.

Tang Can hung his head, "Sigh, I also have to go with Mom to visit relatives; I don't like great‑grandparents' house, it's so annoying!"

Especially the great‑grandparents; since she was three, maybe earlier, they urged Mom in front of her to have a little brother, calling her a useless child.

She is not useless!

Liang Yan said proudly, "Our family has no messy relatives, and Mom and Dad don't like relatives, so they want to take me out to play!"

Liang Yan doesn't want to go out, but she hates staying home alone even more.

Su Yu was very curious, "Where are you going to play?"

"If it's fun, can you bring her along?"
