Shen Niannian was happy all day. When watching the fireworks, her eyes curved into crescents. She held Duan Ze tightly around the waist with both hands, leaned against his chest, and felt his heartbeat.

Duan Ze let her be, keeping her company, his arm around her shoulder, as they looked up together at the fireworks display.

Shen Niannian wasn't unfamiliar with fireworks; it's just that for every girl, watching fireworks with the one she loves is an incredibly happy thing, especially since this particular fireworks display was held on their wedding night and was specially made for her.

She would find it very romantic.

Meanwhile, Duan Ye was also hugging Luo Qingyuan from behind.

Luo Qingyuan asked softly, "Will the fireworks on our wedding night be this beautiful?"

Duan Ye smiled and lowered his head to kiss her ear. Luo Qingyuan was ticklish and kept dodging. The two teased each other for a while before Duan Ye said, "Yes, it will look even better."

Duan Ye: "My grandfather said that March 15th is an auspicious day. It's springtime then, and it won't be too cold. How about we hold our wedding on that day?"

Luo Qingyuan was overjoyed: "Oh? Really? The date has been set?"

Duan Ye: "We're just waiting for your nod."

Luo Qingyuan's face was flushed, but her eyes were moist: "Okay, then let's do it that day."

"Actually, during this time, when I was helping Niannian choose a wedding dress, I also secretly looked at it myself."

Duan Ye stroked his wife's waist and sighed contentedly, "Hmm? Did you find one you like?"

"I have a few sets. Come with me to choose one after the New Year."

Duan Ye stroked his wife's soft hair, then hugged her even tighter in the night breeze.

"good."

Night deepened.

Both brothers returned to the Duan family home with their wives.

The Duan family home was especially lively tonight. Everyone was there, and even Grandpa's face was beaming with smiles. When they came in, everyone's eyes became even more fervent.

Liang Mo's belly is already quite big. All the things needed for her delivery have been packed into two suitcases, and everyone is just waiting for Liang Mo to show any signs of labor so they can rush to the hospital.

Ding Yifen: "It's windy outside, quickly take your wife back to the room."

Duan Ze responded and pulled Shen Niannian upstairs.

Shen Niannian: "Mom and Dad, let's go back to sleep first."

Everyone nodded, and Shen Niannian quickly followed Duan Ze's footsteps.

Duan Jiancheng sighed, "Looking at them, I can't help but think of our own youth."

"It's so good to be young."

Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan sat down next to Duan Jiancheng. Tonight, the family sat around the stove, where sweet potatoes were roasting and were already emitting a sweet aroma.

Duan Ye: "Grandpa, you always reminisce about your youth, why don't you tell us about those times?"

No sooner had Duan Ye finished speaking than he received a tap on the back of the head: "You brat, you're getting better and better at making fun of your grandpa."

Luo Qingyuan laughed as she rubbed Duan Ye's head.

Duan Ye leaned against Luo Qingyuan's chest, his smile incredibly irritating: "No way, Grandpa, why do you always resort to violence at the drop of a hat?"

Duan Sheng said with a stern face, "What are you doing? Sit properly. With your tall frame, how can your wife stand leaning so lazily against you?"

Duan Ye smiled and tried to get up, but Luo Qingyuan stopped him. Then she smiled politely and said, "Dad, it's okay, A-Ye isn't heavy."

Duan Ye then became even more smug: "See? Your wife thinks you're too heavy, but my wife doesn't mind."

Luo Qingyuan pinched his cheek: "Are you pushing your luck?"

Duan Sheng's face darkened as he looked at Ding Yifen: "Look at the good son you've raised, he really knows how to talk back."

Ding Yifen was sitting to the side flipping the sweet potatoes when she heard this. She smiled and said, "Isn't this just something I inherited from you?"

"They're just as disobedient."

Duan Sheng's face turned bright red from holding it in.

Duan Ye burst out laughing and said meaningfully, "So Dad is a disobedient figure in front of Mom? It sounds like he's a child to me?"

Luo Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle as she watched this harmonious scene.

Ding Yifen: "Isn't your dad just like a little kid? Every day, he has to ask questions about everything. If I'm not around, he looks for me everywhere. Even when I go shopping and chat with your Aunt Xie, he calls me eight hundred times a day..."

Duan Sheng: "Wife, that's enough! How can you expose someone's secrets like that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Even Liang Mo, who had been sitting silently to the side, smiled.

Seeing this, Luo Qingyuan patted Duan Ye in her arms: "Get up."

So Duan Ye obediently sat up straight.

Luo Qingyuan took two steps and sat down next to Liang Mo: "Sister-in-law, what are you embroidering?"

Liang Mo: "Tiger-head shoes. Children grow up quickly, and I haven't had much to do lately, so I thought I'd embroider a few more pairs."

Everyone's attention was drawn to Liang Mo's words.

Ding Yifen: "Xiao Mo's cooking skills are really good."

Duan Ye: "Yes, my brother is really lucky to have married such a skillful sister-in-law."

Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Yes, these tiger-head shoes are really well embroidered."

Duan Jiancheng: "Xiao Mo, embroider less. We have everything at home. Don't ruin your eyes."

Liang Mo: "Okay, I'll just embroider occasionally. Anyway, I'm just killing time."

Luo Qingyuan took Liang Mo's hand: "Sister-in-law, the New Year is just around the corner, and the company will be on holiday soon. I'm just sitting here anyway, so why don't you teach me?"

Ding Yifen and Duan Sheng exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

Luo Qingyuan said this specifically because she saw Liang Mo was lonely staying at home alone.

Liang Mo has been depressed lately, which worries them. People his age have a lot to say about him, and they would feel more at ease if Luo Qingyuan could spend more time with him.

Duan Ye's gaze towards Luo Qingyuan softened, a look that Luo Qingyuan didn't notice. He was genuinely happy, as it showed that Luo Qingyuan truly cared for everyone in his family.

Ding Yifen: "The sweet potatoes are ready. It's so cold outside, this weather is perfect for eating roasted sweet potatoes."

Luo Qingyuan: "Yes, Mom, you've thought this through very well."

Duan Ye: "I've been waiting for this for ages."

As he spoke, Duan Ye rolled up his sleeves to get the roasted sweet potatoes.

Ding Yifen slapped him: "What did you do with your hands? Go wash them right now!"

Duan Ye shrank back, and just as he was about to pull Luo Qingyuan along, he saw Luo Qingyuan helping Liang Mo up.

Alright, Duan Ye went to wash his hands himself.

He was quick; by the time Luo Qingyuan returned, Duan Ye had already peeled two steaming sweet potatoes, giving one to Liang Mo and the other to Luo Qingyuan.

So Duan Ye peeled another one, intending to give it to his mother, but who knew...

Duan Sheng: "Go away, who wants your sweet potatoes? Your mom can peel them."

Duan Ye: "Seriously? Dad, you're going to take this too? Why didn't you peel one for me?"

Ding Yifen chuckled and took the sweet potato from Duan Sheng's hand: "Xiao Ye, you should give it to your grandpa. If I don't eat the one your dad peeled, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause after we close the door..."
