Lu Hai looked at the house in front of him and sighed in his heart.

It's no wonder that he never worries about Lu Zheng. Whether it's the background of his maternal grandparents or his own strength, Lu Zheng is much stronger than the other children in the family.

Lu Zheng already had some things even without him giving them, but it was different for the other children in the family. They all depended on him, so he couldn't help but pay more attention to them.

But as time went on, he unknowingly became more and more distant from his son.

Thinking of this, Lu Hai felt the pressure in his heart increased a little bit.

In his opinion, brothers and sisters are of the same blood and should help each other, but...

Lu Hai just looked at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng seemed to see through his purpose in coming to see him today. He turned to Su Jianwei and said, "Weiwei, go and pack up the things grandpa brought."

When Su Jianwei saw that Lu Hai did not stop Lu Zheng after he finished speaking, she knew that it didn't matter whether she knew about it or not.

But since Lu Zheng asked her to leave, then she might as well leave.

Su Jianwei closed the door and went to the front yard to pull the tricycle. Before he had ridden the tricycle five meters, he heard the sound of a cup falling to the ground and breaking in the main room of the front yard.

Su Jianwei paused pedaling the tricycle and continued riding towards the main courtyard.

Grandpa Du prepared a lot of New Year's goods for them, even precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum.

When Su Jianwei was halfway through tidying up, Lu Zheng came to the kitchen from the front yard.

"I'm with you."

Su Jianwei glanced at Lu Zheng, whose mood was obviously much lower, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

While Lu Zheng was sorting out the remaining things, he said, "Let's spend New Year's Eve at home."

Su Jianwei blinked doubtfully, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

If I can't go back to the Lu family on New Year's Eve, then going to the Du family or the Zhou family is not very appropriate. After all, the circle in the imperial capital is so small that any little thing can spread overnight.

Su Jianwei didn't ask Lu Zheng why he didn't go to the Lu family for the New Year after chatting with Lu Hai. She smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Mom..."

As Su Jianwei was speaking, he suddenly remembered that this was Lin Yulan's first time to return to the Zhou family for the New Year. He swallowed what he wanted to say and said with a smile: "Although there are only two of us in our family, we can still have a lively time."

When Lu Zheng heard Su Jianwei say the word "our family", his eyes softened unconsciously.

Yes, he is no longer the child who is in the same boat as having a home.

"There are a lot of things I want to eat for New Year's Eve dinner. Let's make whatever you want together."

"good!"

Su Jianwei and Lu Zheng told the elders on both sides about their plans to spend the New Year at home.

After hearing this, Mr. Du asked Lu Zheng if it was that old man Lu Hai who had said something to him, but seeing that Lu Zheng was like a mute person and didn't say a word no matter how he asked, he simply ignored him and wanted to go find Lu Hai to settle the score.

Lu Zheng hugged the old man's waist and placed him on the armchair, "Grandpa, I don't want to go."

Thinking of what Lu Hai said to him, Lu Zheng's face couldn't help but become a little colder.

"I'm getting married this year and I'm not a child anymore. I don't need to be an eyesore in other people's homes."

When Su Jianwei heard Lu Zheng say this, she glanced at him.

Old Master Du looked at Lu Zheng and exhaled deeply, "It's rare to find someone as biased as your father."

"Grandpa, there are still a lot of things to pack at home. Let's go back first." Lu Zheng changed the subject and said.

Mr. Du nodded and watched the two of them leave.

Steamed buns are made on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Although Su Jianwei can cook, he can't steam buns.

She was originally thinking about whether she should call Lin Yulan to ask her how to steam the buns, but Lu Zheng had already walked over with a bag of flour.

"I can."

"You can?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "I learned it in the army."

Su Jianwei looked at Lu Zheng curiously, "Does the army teach this?"

"Um."

"What else can you do?"

Su Jianwei took the initiative to ask, and Lu Zheng told her every detail of his past in the army.

Lu Zheng looked at Su Jianwei. Although the content was so boring, she listened with great interest.

…

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Su Jianwei just woke up and felt that the temperature outside seemed to have dropped a lot.

“It’s snowing.”

Lu Zheng rarely woke up early, so he held Su Jianwei in his arms and said, "Sleep a little longer."

The bed was so comfortable, and with Lu Zheng acting as a natural heater, Su Jianwei didn't get up until ten o'clock.

When he got up, Lu Zheng simply made a sandwich. After eating it for two years, he began to paste Spring Festival couplets all over his house.

"Suddenly I feel like a home that's too big isn't a good idea."

Lu Zheng looked at Su Jianwei who was holding up the Chinese character for "Fu" for him and said with a smile, "When we have children in the future, we can leave these things to the two of us."

Su Jianwei looked at Lu Zheng's rare warm smile and was fascinated by him for a moment.

Lu Zheng is very handsome, but he rarely smiles so gently. Even when he is with her, he usually has no expression or is serious like an unreasonable old scholar.

But when talking about their child at this moment, Su Jianwei inexplicably felt that Lu Zheng would be a good father.

The two of them had a simple meal at noon. In the afternoon, Lin Yulan was brought over by the Zhou family's driver and brought them some fried food. After seeing that Su Jianwei and the others had prepared the New Year's Eve dinner in an orderly manner, she left with peace of mind.

Lin Yulan sent six fried dishes: fried mushrooms, fried lotus roots, fried small fish, fried crispy pork, fried meatballs, and fried bananas; Grandpa Du sent braised lion's head and sweet and sour fish.

If they didn't know that Su Jianwei and Lu Zheng also had to cook, the two of them would have prepared Su Jianwei and Lu Zheng's New Year's Eve dinner.

Su Jianwei and Lu Zheng prepared the New Year's Eve dinner together, which included stir-fried seasonal vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, big plate chicken, and cold pig's trotter jelly.

The table was full of dishes, but the two of them didn't even prepare any staple food.

There were no outsiders around, so Su Jianwei and Lu Zheng sat on the sofa, watching the Spring Festival Gala, eating and drinking.

Lu Zheng drank Maotai and Su Jianwei drank red wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, Su Jianwei's cheeks were already red.

Perhaps it was the alcohol that emboldened him. Su Jianwei looked at Lu Zheng, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Did your father bully you?"

Lu Zheng looked at the confused Su Jianwei, smiled and tucked her hair behind her ears, "Why do you say that?"

Su Jianwei leaned on Lu Zheng's shoulder and said, "After you talked that day, you have been unhappy."

"Is it obvious?"

"Um."

Su Jianwei looked up at Lu Zheng and asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

"Maybe if you tell me, you'll feel better."
