On the 29th day of the lunar year, the festive atmosphere became stronger and stronger. Su Jingmo and Qu Qingdai returned to the Su family's old house together.

Su Zeqi and Huo Jianqiu hadn't left since Huo Jianqiu became pregnant, so they naturally planned to spend this year's Spring Festival here. Su Banxia also returned to the old house as planned after finishing her studies for the semester.

This year, the Su family's old house was undoubtedly the busiest it had been in recent years. All the younger generations who were due to return home gathered together for a family reunion, and the happiest person was undoubtedly Old Lady Su.

A few days ago, Yu Wantong took Qu Qingdai to buy New Year's goods.

This was a brand new experience for Qu Qingdai. In the past, she would just have a simple reunion with her brother during the Chinese New Year.

She hadn't anticipated the numerous etiquette and rules associated with this traditional festival. The sheer variety of items to purchase dazzled her. After all that shopping, her legs felt heavy as lead, and she was utterly exhausted. She couldn't help but sigh; even after more than ten hours of continuous craftsmanship in the studio, she had never felt this exhausted.

New Year's Eve came in a flash. The old house of the Su family was decorated with lights everywhere. Festive red lanterns were hung high, swaying in the wind, full of festive and peaceful atmosphere.

Most of the servants have gone home on vacation to reunite with their families, leaving only a few senior and experienced old servants and housekeepers to continue managing the affairs of the old house.

Qu Qingzhu was also cordially invited by Qu Qingdai. Qu Qingdai had asked the old lady for her opinion in advance, and the old lady readily agreed. After all, this was a day of reunion, and it would naturally be more lively with more people.

So, on New Year's Eve, the Su family's old house was filled with laughter and was extremely lively.

The whole family sat together and enjoyed a rich and warm New Year's Eve dinner.

After eating and drinking, Old Mrs. Su sat upright in the main seat in the living room, looking lovingly at her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and then at Huo Jianqiu's slightly bulging belly, where her unborn great-grandson was pregnant. Her face was filled with a happy smile, which seemed to dispel the cold of winter and make the whole old house immersed in warmth and joy.

In a moment, the people in the living room gradually dispersed, and in the end only the old lady, Su Liuxing and Yu Wantong were left sitting in front of the TV, watching the Spring Festival Gala leisurely.

The lights on the stage flickered, the actors sang and danced, and laughter came from the TV, adding a lively atmosphere to this warm night.

The rest of the young people ran into the yard to set off fireworks, cheering and jumping for joy like wild horses.

In the courtyard, the one having the most fun was undoubtedly Su Banxia. Like a cheerful little bird, she darted freely among the crowd, sometimes running for sparklers, sometimes excitedly pulling others to light them together. Her clear, hearty laughter echoed in the night sky, and her innocent joy seemed to infect everyone around her.

Su Zeqi, Qu Qingzhu and others were extremely busy. They were a bit like tools that were available at any time. They just helped Su Banxia light the fireworks, and then they had to run to move new boxes of fireworks. They ran around and were exhausted, but their faces were filled with happy smiles and they had no complaints.

Huo Jianqiu lay on a recliner beside her with a smile on her face, watching Su Zeqi and Qu Qingzhu busying themselves with Su Banxia. She gently stroked her bulging belly with her hands, her face full of smiles.

Qu Qingdai stood quietly by, watching the lively scene with gentle eyes, as if lost in thought.

At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice sounded quietly in her ears: "Why don't you go play? Are you tired?"

Qu Qingdai came back to her senses after hearing the voice, shook her head slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That's not the case. I was just wondering how long it has been since the old house was so lively. Look at grandma today, she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits. She is really happy."

Su Jingmo raised the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and gently put his arm around her shoulders, holding her tenderly in his arms, as if he wanted to use his arms to dispel the winter cold for her.

He lowered his head slightly, put his lips close to her ear, and whispered, "Every year from now on, it will be like this. Our family will be together and the old house will always be filled with laughter."

Qu Qingdai was about to speak when the man suddenly said, "If you give grandma another great-granddaughter, she will be happier and the old house will be more lively."

Qu Qingdai's cheeks flushed instantly. She tilted her head slightly, stared at Su Jingmo with wide eyes, and said angrily, "I think you want it yourself." Her eyes seemed to say, "You can't hide your little thoughts from me."

Su Jingmo lowered his eyes slightly, his dark eyes as deep as ink were filled with doting and tenderness. He curled his thin lips slightly, revealing a charming smile, and then slowly placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, saying affectionately: "The one who understands me is my wife."

Qu Qingdai's face turned even redder. She gently punched Su Jingmo's chest and said coquettishly, "You're the only one who can talk nonsense."

On this night of brilliant fireworks, the figures of the two appear particularly warm and touching under the reflection of lights and fireworks, as if time has stopped for their happiness.

After the fireworks were set off, several people were called back into the house. The reason was simple: Old Mrs. Su was going to distribute red envelopes, and after that it was time for her to go back to her room to rest.

After all, Mrs. Su is old and has limited energy. She cannot stay up late like young people. 9:30 every night is her fixed rest time.

Su Banxia skipped over to the old lady and respectfully took the bulging red envelope with both hands. A smile spread across her face as she said, "Thank you, grandma. Happy New Year, and good health! Xia Xia will always be with you through every New Year."
