Chapter 1066: Chapter 1670: Happy New Year
Thinking about today’s date, Yunyi chuckled and joined in, “That’s right, today is New Year’s Eve, a day for getting rid of the old and welcoming the new. We should all be happy.”
Gui Hongmei also realized: “Sister-in-law is right to remind us.”
With so many people, tasks are easier; when the dumplings were wrapped, all the dishes were ready too.
Before dinner, Huo Xiaoqian found Yunyi: “Auntie, I shouldn’t have selfishly made things difficult for you. I’m sorry.”
Adult matters shouldn’t affect children. Since she realized her mistake, why hold a grudge against a child: “Auntie understands your feelings, so I accept your apology.”
Huo Jingrui didn’t take it to heart either, and he gently patted his little niece’s head: “Adult matters are none of your concern, little one. Just grow up happily.”
Huo Shanhe finished his work and came out of the study, seeing dishes on the table and everyone gathered: “Jingya, stop fussing, come and sit.”
For a moment, laughter and joy filled the room.
Because Yunyi was pregnant, Jiang Jingya didn’t let her stay up late.
Watching the snow drifting outside the window, her thoughts wandered afar.
Huo Jingrui approached her and hugged her from behind: “What are you thinking about?”
Yunyi nestled into his embrace: “I’m wondering if this time I’m carrying a single baby or twins.”
Huo Jingrui placed his hand on Yunyi’s belly: “Whether it’s a single or twins, they’re both our treasures.”
Pregnancy indeed makes one sleepy; as they continued chatting, she dozed off.
Huo Jingrui kissed her cheek: “If you’re tired, rest early.”
The next morning, fireworks outside woke her: “Jingrui, what time is it?”
Huo Jingrui leaned in and whispered: “It’s still early, sleep some more.”
But just as he spoke, more fireworks went off outside.
And they didn’t stop afterward.
Knowing there’d be visitors coming for New Year’s wishes, Yunyi decided not to sleep any longer: “I’ve had enough of sleeping in, better get up.”
Huo Jingrui was already about to clear snow and heard his wife’s words: “It’s cold outside, no need to get up so early. I’ll go shovel the snow.”
Just as they finished talking, the Main Consort’s Huo Xiaobei shouted from outside, “Dad, get me a shovel too, I’m going to shovel snow.”
Huo Weidong replied to his younger son’s words: “Do you want to shovel snow or play in the snow?”
Huo Xiaobei wasn’t embarrassed at his father’s gentle teasing: “Last night I promised the younger ones I’d help them make a snowman. I can’t break my word.”
Upon hearing about making a snowman, Yunyi got interested: “Get up.”
There’s no need to guess why she’s so enthusiastic; Huo Jingrui didn’t stop her: “Playing in the snow is fine, but we must be careful. You’re not alone right now.”
Yunyi naturally wouldn’t feel invincible despite feeling capable: “I know, I’ll be careful.”
When they came downstairs, they found no one else around, and Auntie Zhang was already busy with breakfast for the large family in the kitchen.
Yunyi let Huo Jingrui go about his task but first slipped into the kitchen herself: “Happy New Year, Auntie Zhang.”
Auntie Zhang heard the greeting, a smile lighting up her eyes: “Happy New Year, Happy New Year.”
Yunyi took out a red envelope from her pocket: “Thank you for your hard work.”
Auntie Zhang was ready to decline, but Yunyi spoke up: “New Year, new beginnings, take it for good luck. You can’t refuse this red envelope.”
With a smile, Auntie Zhang thanked her and accepted the envelope, feeling warm inside.
Every year on the first day, Jiang Jingya would give her a red envelope, but this was the first time receiving one from a daughter-in-law of the Huo Family. This envelope had a special meaning.
