"The New Year is almost here again. Time flies," Tingting sighed.

"Being together as a family is happiness; just be happy and joyful," Jianjun said, noticing Tingting's sadness and trying to comfort her.

"It's okay, don't try to comfort me. I just feel like I'm getting old. Let's take a family photo this year."

"Sure, take several photos of each child with your phone to keep as memories for the future."

"Let's print them all out and put them in a booklet."

“Sure, by the time they go to school, we’ll both be almost 40,” Tingting remarked.

"Wife, no matter how old we are, we've already fulfilled half of our wishes: we have children and a happy home."

"When the time comes, we should work hard so that they can freely and happily choose their own lives. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Then we'll go on a trip and see these beautiful mountains and rivers. I can't wait for that time to come."

"Jianjun, you are really optimistic. You are happy no matter what."

"Wife, being content is the greatest happiness. We already have so much happiness."

Tingting nodded and didn't say anything more.

During the Chinese New Year meal, Tingting secretly took many family photos with her phone when no one was looking.

I took many photos of each child; they were all filled with happiness.

I hope that when the children grow up, they can still see their time and childhood.

Tingting also cooked a lot of dishes for Chinese New Year this year; no matter which year it is, the New Year is always very lavish.

There are many more fruits this year, many of which Cheng Cai had only seen in books.

Cheng Cai is no longer surprised by anything; he simply eats whatever is delicious, clearly having seen the world.

Now, Chengcai and Youcai have undergone significant changes in temperament due to their long period of study, better diet, and improved lifestyle.

I am more open and confident, and I never envy others anymore.

They possess the vigor of youth and the maturity of mature speech, making them stand out in a crowd and easily noticeable.

Cheng Cai and You Cai brought a lot of things for their grandfathers on New Year's Day, even though they couldn't spend it together.

But Cheng Cai believes that one day, his three grandfathers, aunt, uncle, younger brother and sister, and the whole family can sit at the same table and celebrate a reunion New Year.

This is his dream and hope. Everyone here is a benefactor, a relative, and the most important person in his life.

"Children, I hope you will be happy, joyful, and positive in the new year."

"Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Auntie."

"Eat quickly, we still have to stay up late to welcome the New Year."

The children nodded excitedly; they were really looking forward to the Chinese New Year.

Although we usually eat very well, it is still joyful to see every household lighting candles during the Lunar New Year, making the village so bright.

Many friends came out, and although it was cold, everyone was happy and joyful.

The next day, the children from the eldest and second eldest brothers' shops came to wish them a Happy New Year, and Tingting gave them a lot of candy.

Upon seeing Cheng Cai and You Cai, I almost didn't recognize them at first glance.

"Tingting, Chengcai and Youcai look really good now. You've really treated them like your own sons."

Tingting didn't care about her sister-in-law's sarcastic remarks and didn't want to lower herself to their level.

These children are all very well-behaved; they are always very polite, whether they are out or at home when guests come.

"Tingting, this is your nephew. You should think about him too, even if you don't have time. I think you've taught these kids very well."

Seeing her sister-in-law say this, Tingting said, "Sister-in-law, everyone in our village says your fourth son is good-looking and looks like he's blessed."

The second sister-in-law was immediately pleased to hear her son being praised, and smiled with a hint of pride.

Praising other people's children is a topic of conversation and an unspoken understanding among everyone every year.
