As soon as Lin Wanwan got out of the car, she tried to run into the house, but Lu Feng quickly pulled her away.

"Don't run, be careful not to fall."

Lin Wanwan then obediently followed beside him, saying, "Lu Feng, you're treating me like my dad now. Do you treat me like your daughter?"

"Mom~ Mom~ I'm back, I'm back."

Lin Xiaohai came out to greet them, shouting as he walked, "Stop yelling! What are you howling about so early in the morning?!"

"Good morning, Sister Bai Ying and Brother Bai Qi."

Lin Wanwan threw what she was holding at him, saying, "Here you go, you ingrate."

"It must have been my brother-in-law who bought it. Would you buy it for me?"

Lu Feng immediately waved his hand and said, "This time it wasn't me, it was all bought by your sister."

Lin Wanwan sneered, "Then you don't need it, give it to the dog to play with."

Lin Xiaohai smiled and reached out to take her hand, but Lin Wanwan dodged away, saying, "Don't touch me, or I'll try to scam you."

"Sister, I was wrong. How about I do whatever I want for you?"

Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at him. "How were your final grades? I haven't even had time to check on you. If your grades are bad, you won't get any New Year's money, not even a hair."

Lin Xiaohai grinned, "Then you're going to have to pay a hefty price. My grades are so good that even my parents can't believe it."

"How dare you say that? How bad must your grades have been to get this result now?"

Lin Xiaohai was speechless for a moment, choked by her words.

Lu Feng found it amusing, and Bai Qi and Bai Ying were also trying not to laugh.

He Yumei came out laughing, "Can you two stop acting like fighting cocks? You're making a fool of yourself in front of Bai Ying."

"Hello, Aunt Song."

"Aunt Song, Happy Chinese New Year."

"Alright, alright, have you had breakfast yet?" He Yumei asked, pulling Bai Ying along.

Lin Jianbang came out and saw the two carrying things. He said with a stern face, "What are you bringing home?"

Bai Qi laughed and said, "I only bring it when I go back to my own home. Do you think I'd bring it to someone else's house?"

He Yumei smiled and said, "Come in and sit down."

Lin Wanwan pulled Bai Ying aside and spoke to He Yumei as if showing off a treasure, "Mom, aren't Bai Ying's and my clothes pretty?"

“It looks beautiful. Your mother-in-law ordered it, and I went with her.”

"I don't look like a polar bear at all when I wear it. Luckily I'm thin. Once my belly gets bigger, I won't be able to wear it anymore, otherwise I'll definitely look like a bear."

"Sister, red envelope, red envelope! It's Chinese New Year, don't I have a big red envelope?"

"Did you wish me a Happy New Year? Then you should ask for a red envelope."

Lin Xiaohai immediately stood up and bowed to her and Lu Feng, "Happy New Year, sister and brother-in-law. I wish you great wealth and happiness."

Lin Wanwan laughed uncontrollably and stuffed the red envelopes she had prepared into his hands. Lu Fengye gave him one in return.

Bai Qi couldn't stop laughing, shaking the red envelope in his hand, "Aren't you going to wish me a Happy New Year? I've prepared one too."

Lin Xiaohai immediately perked up, "Brother Baiqi, Happy New Year, and may you rise to greater heights."

He Yumei didn't stop them; they were all family, no need to be so polite.

Lin Jianbang and He Yumei each handed a red envelope to Bai Qi and Bai Ying, saying, "Take them and don't refuse. We're family now, and it's what we elders should give you."

Bai Ying blushed and thanked He Yumei and Lin Jianbang.

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Mom, what's for lunch? We'll help you make it."

"No, no, your dad and I have made a reservation. We'll take you to eat Peking duck."

"Okay, I haven't had this in a long time either."

He Yumei pulled Lin Wanwan aside and asked, "Is it alright for Bai Ying to stay at your place?"

“Why not? My mother-in-law decorated the room beautifully. Besides, Mom is usually home alone, so Bai Ying can keep her company.”

"Didn't you and Lu Feng come back?"

"Don't we both have to go to school?"

He Yumei was relieved and pulled Bai Ying aside, saying, "Bai Ying, have you memorized Auntie's phone number? Call Auntie if anything happens. If Wanwan bullies you, just tell me."

"Mom, am I that kind of person?" Lin Wanwan protested from the side.

"Auntie, Wanwan is very good to me and won't bully me."

"See? I'm not that kind of person."

Lin Xiaohai, while unwrapping a red envelope, said bluntly, "Yes, you only know how to bully me."

“That’s right,” Lin Wanwan said with an expression that said, “You guessed it.”

Why didn't you bring Tuanzi?

“He was still asleep when we left. Mom said that he kept asking to sleep with us last night, but Mom thought we were too tired from the journey, so she didn’t bring him along. He didn’t fall asleep until midnight.”

"Then we should bring them along, otherwise they'll definitely make a fuss when they wake up."

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, "It's okay, we'll see him this afternoon. Aren't we all going to Grandpa's this afternoon?"

“He will definitely cry when he wakes up. I don’t know why, but he’s always clinging to you. Last time I didn’t take him back to the military base, your mother-in-law said he called out ‘Mom’ every day at home.”

"I'm just very charming. I'm destined to be Tuanzi's son."

Lin Xiaohai scoffed and said, "Narcissistic. Tuanzi kissed me too, and he can call me uncle now."

Did you give my son a New Year's red envelope?

"I don't even have a job yet, why would I give you a red envelope? Tuanzi is understanding and won't be angry with me."

When we arrived at the Xu family's house in the afternoon, Tuanzi and Song Lanzhi were already there.

As soon as Tuanzi saw Lin Wanwan, she rushed over crying, wanting a hug.

Lin Wanwan held and comforted the little one for a long time, and the pitiful little one hugged her neck and called "Mommy".

"Don't cry, baby. Mommy was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have gone out without you. If you keep crying, Mommy will cry too. Do you think you can comfort me?"

I don't know if Tuanzi understood, but she giggled anyway.

Lin Wanwan held him and coaxed him for a while before he fell asleep.
