That evening, the Ruan family was all present. They were all very happy to hear the news of Qian Ling's pregnancy, especially Bai Sirui. The Ruan family now had an heir, which would make things much easier for them.

After dinner, Ruan Shaohong told the old man and Ruan Chuanji in the study what Huo Haocheng had told him during the day. In fact, they had already thought of this even without him saying it. So when Ruan Shaohong said he wanted to join the special forces, they were against it. But later, seeing how insistent he was, they let him have his way. It wouldn't hurt for him to get more training. As long as they were still around, they could find a way to bring him back.

Hearing him say this now, it really proves the saying: when someone has a family and children, the responsibilities on their shoulders become heavier, and their thinking about problems becomes more comprehensive.

After discussing it among the three generations, Huo Haocheng went alone the next day to buy tickets for the others to return to Yuncheng, and Bai Sirui temporarily took over the position of deputy captain for Ruan Shaohong.

Bai Sirui was originally a trainer on loan to conduct aerial training for them, but he abused his power and refused to leave. With Huo Haocheng's help, he even applied to become a member of the team.

That evening, the Ruan and Gu families had an early New Year's Eve dinner together. In the afternoon, Huo Haocheng and Gu Jinghe bought a lot of nice things. Among them were many New Year's goods he had prepared for his family, and New Year's gifts for his parents and wife.

When the two families were having dinner, they first prepared New Year's red envelopes for Ruan Ruan.

"My dear girl, Haocheng, here, this is a New Year's red envelope that Grandpa prepared for you. The New Year is just around the corner. Although we can't celebrate at home, we still can't forget the red envelope."

With the old man taking the lead, everyone else took out the red envelopes they had prepared. It wasn't that they didn't want to prepare gifts, but considering that Ruan Ruan was lazy, it wouldn't be convenient for them to take the things they bought in this cold weather. Knowing her personality, she would definitely have to go and mail them. In that case, it would be more convenient to just give her money, and she could buy it herself when she wanted it.

"Here, this is for Grandpa."

"This is for Grandma."

"This is Grandma's."

"Girl, you're a girl with your own opinions and you know how to act appropriately, so we won't give you too many instructions. Just be happy and content with yourselves. Just remember that you're the apple of our family's eye. When you're out there, as long as you're in the right, don't be afraid. We'll take care of everything, okay?"

"Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma on my mother's side, don't worry. You know I'm lazy, but I'm not someone to be bullied. Besides, I don't like to go out unless I have to, so I don't get into any trouble. But if anyone dares to mess with me, I won't let myself suffer."

Sister Ruan trained so hard for the first ten years so that she could be a couch potato for the rest of her life, not so that she could suffer losses.

"Alright, alright, you have your own plan."

Hearing her say that, the elderly people were also very happy. Their precious daughter should live such a carefree and unrestrained life.

The two old ladies originally wanted to give Huo Haocheng a few more words of advice, but seeing him constantly serving food to Ruan Ruan and picking out fish bones, they changed their minds and said something else.

“Gu Jinghe, I won’t say anything about how you usually are, but now that you’re married and have your own family, I don’t expect you to treat your wife like Xiang Haocheng. Just treat her half as well as he does. In daily life, if you don’t understand something, ask your sister and brother-in-law. Don’t make your wife do everything herself. If she does everything herself, what use are you? Do you understand?”

The old lady hadn't met her granddaughter-in-law yet, but she often heard Teacher Shen mention her as a very nice girl. She also learned about her job and personality from Ruan Ruan. They all felt that Gu Jinghe was incredibly lucky to have married such a good wife. If he didn't cherish her, he would truly deserve to be a bachelor for life.

"Grandma, don't worry. Under my sister and brother-in-law's guidance, I've corrected my past bad habits. Besides, my parents both said that as long as you follow Haocheng when it comes to your wife, you can't go wrong. And my wife really likes me now."

When talking about his wife, Gu Jinghe was still very proud. However, in his opinion, among the grandchildren in this family, apart from Huo Haocheng, he was the one who treated his wife the best.

Back then, he used to follow Huo Haocheng around, watching him buy gifts and snacks for Ruan Ruan whenever he had a chance. He would buy her anything she liked or saw. He followed suit. Although every time he bought something, Dr. Jiang would say that it was a waste of money or that they already had enough at home, he knew that Dr. Jiang was always happy when he bought it.

Seeing his expression, they understood. He looked smug, and as long as he treated his wife well, they didn't bother to say anything more to him.

As for the other two couples at the table, Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui, there's not much to say. They're two grown men, and they don't really understand how two people get along. But as things stand, they seem to be taking good care of each other. All they can do is hope that they can withstand societal pressure.

As for Ruan Shaohong and Qian Ling, they can only let nature take its course. Now that Ruan Shaohong has stayed in Beijing, the two of them have more time to spend together. In addition, they have a child. Judging from Ruan Shaohong's current appearance, he should be paying more attention to Qian Ling. The elders are right, but that's not good. Oh well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

After dinner, Ruan's mother called Ruan Ruan aside and asked her, "Now that your sister-in-law is pregnant, how do you plan to have the baby?"

Gu Wenzhen's thinking was very simple. As a mother-in-law, she also wanted to hold a grandson. Even if the Huo family treated Ruan Ruan very well, if they could have a child, Ruan Ruan's position in the Huo family's hearts would be truly unbreakable.
