[I can't even imagine how exciting it would be if the male and female leads were to be showing off their love in front of me... Sigh, Lu Zhengjun, you...]

The four siblings: "..."

They subconsciously glanced at Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue's expressions, afraid that they would give themselves away, since they didn't know that Lu Zhengjun had faked her death.

Sure enough, Liu Yuying keenly noticed something amiss in Leng Yingying's thoughts and looked at the four siblings suspiciously...

However, now is not the time to explain.

"Come on, let's have some fruit first." Liu Yuying concealed her true feelings well; she wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about these two distinguished guests.

"What are their names?" Meng Yingxin asked. "I don't know if the formula I bought is suitable."

"That's so thoughtful." Su Yueya glanced at the formula; it was imported, and she knew Meng Yingxin had put a lot of thought into it. "It's suitable!"

Although the two little ones have been drinking breast milk and formula bought from the small mall, the one Meng Yingxin gave them is not bad either.

"You all sit down first, I need to go to the kitchen with Dad to prepare the ingredients." Su Yueya stood up and handed Lu Siyuan to her second brother.

"I'll help too!"

Before Meng Yingxin could get up, Qiao Xinruo pressed her down to sit down.

"You're a guest, how can I let you do anything?" Qiao Xinruo said, thinking to herself, if you want to do chores, you should become my sister-in-law sooner rather than later, then no one in the family will be polite to you!

Meng Yingxin subconsciously looked at Qiao Shouyan, who shook his head at her.

"No need for help."

Meng Yingxin then stopped saying anything.

[Oh my gosh, what am I seeing?! It's a shame we can't ship the male and female leads, but the older brother and sister-in-law pairing is so cute too! Look at this icy older brother, acting like a total henpecked husband! Isn't it amazing? Unexpected, right? Hahaha! It's so satisfying to see this happening live!]

The siblings: "..."

Please shut up! Stop using your supernatural powers! You're really bringing up the very thing you don't want to talk about!

Leng Yingying and Meng Yingxin, one with a cheerful and outgoing personality and the other with a gentle and generous nature, both got along well with Liu Yuying.

She was very satisfied with her two future daughters-in-law!

She repeatedly gave her two sons meaningful glances, urging them to work hard and become a real family as soon as possible.

In the kitchen, Su Yueya and Qiao Hanxue were also busy at work.

Fortunately, the menus were ordered in advance, and the father and daughter were in good sync and worked together well.

When a table full of delicious-looking dishes was laid out, Leng Yingying swallowed hard, completely lacking any self-control.

[Mommy, is this the legendary Manchu Han Imperial Feast? I don't want to leave, I want to join this family, waaaah...]

[Eating like this every day, I can't imagine how happy I would be!]

[This is such a lucky break for Joe!]

Qiao Gaoyang: "..."

What's wrong with me?

"Come and eat!" Qiao Hanxue called out.

"Okay!" Leng Yingying was even more conscientious than her own family members, rushing to the front.

At the dinner table, the two elders first said some celebratory words, without any formalities, and let the young people eat to their heart's content.

“Uncle, I can hold my liquor pretty well, how about I have a drink with you?” Leng Yingying volunteered.

[Waaaaah, whether I can win over the female lead's parents depends on whether I can drink the right amount of wine! Go for it, Leng Yingying, you're the best!]

The couple was puzzled. Leng Yingying kept talking about the female lead, seemingly not caring about their second son at all...

"Drink less, you all have to go back to the unit, it's not good to get drunk," Su Yueya reminded her.

Although the military wouldn't be so strict during the Lunar New Year, she knew that these two didn't get along well with some people in the military, so she had to be careful to avoid being caught doing something wrong and having someone report them!

"Don't worry, I can hold my liquor well!" Leng Yingying winked at Su Yueya.

Qiao Hanxue was indeed happy today, so he did not refuse the wine. However, he did not open the wine that Leng Yingying had sent, but instead took out his own private collection.

"This is good stuff, my dad usually doesn't even drink it." Qiao Gaoyang explained to Leng Yingying in a low voice. When he sat down, he was the first to choose a seat next to Leng Yingying.

"Really? Then why did your father finally open it today?" Leng Yingying asked, puzzled.

Are Meng Yingxin and I considered honored guests? Do we need to drink wine from my private stash?

Family: Distinguished guests, that's far too expensive!

Leng Yingying was a real cheerleader. As she herself said, she could drink a lot and was very eloquent, keeping Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue smiling non-stop. She also provided plenty of emotional value throughout the entire process, praising the chef!

"It's so delicious! Did Crescent Moon make these ribs or Uncle? Oh my god, they're so good! I'm afraid I'll never be able to stand the taste of the cafeteria again after eating this!"

"The fish is so fragrant, the fish meat is so tender and smooth! And there's not a trace of fishiness, it's sour and refreshing, I have to have a bowl of this soup!"

"How come stir-fried vegetables taste so good? Crescent Moon, are you a genius?"

[I'm so lucky to have come at such a good time! I knew that coming to the female lead's house would mean eating vegetables grown in her space. Vegetables irrigated by the spiritual spring really do make a difference!]

[I'm so cool, so incredibly cool, come on, come on, come on, come on!]

The whole family was stunned; it was the first time they had ever heard of space and spiritual springs from someone else.

But on second thought, Leng Yingying's background seems to make sense now.

As a reader of this book, she is indeed "omniscient".

In contrast, Meng Yingxin appeared much "gentle and quiet." Although this was her natural personality, it became even more apparent when contrasted with Leng Yingying.

However, it was a good thing that Leng Yingying was there, as she naturally eased a lot of the awkwardness.

Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue were increasingly pleased with their two future daughters-in-law!

The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests.

The one who was most satisfied was naturally Leng Yingying, who was full and happy.

【My happy hometown!】

After finishing dinner, I cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, and then stayed in the living room for a while, watching as it got dark.

"I bought some fireworks, shall we go to the yard and set them off?" Qiao Shouyan said.

"Big brother, when did you buy it?" Qiao Gaoyang was shocked. He hadn't remembered this at all, after all, they weren't children anymore.

The only two little ones in the house are not yet able to play with fireworks independently.

"Okay, let's go!" Qiao Xinruo was very excited and insisted on dragging her parents out to play as well.

"You young people go have fun, we'll stay home and take care of the kids!" Qiao Hanxue declined.

"No, we have to play together!" Qiao Xinru insisted.

Although it's called fireworks, it's mainly firecrackers, and there aren't many fancy designs.

Not only the Qiao family, but many families in the compound came out to play with firecrackers. There were adults and children, making it very lively, just like every year.

“This open space is specifically reserved for setting off firecrackers. Every year, quite a few people come out to play.” As he spoke, Qiao Shouyan stuffed a pack of firecrackers into Meng Yingxin’s hand. “Let’s set one off.”
