Lu Yiming confiscated the red envelope. Lu Yilan was a few months younger than him, so naturally she didn't receive any red envelope either.

Outsiders don't give red envelopes to their eldest son, but Su Yan and Lu Ting do give him New Year's money, ten yuan each, which he puts in a piggy bank.

Whenever Lu Yiming wanted to buy his favorite books or something, he would spend the money in his piggy bank. After so many years, there should be about three or four hundred yuan left in the bank.

The child has grown up and has his own ideas. As long as he doesn't spend money indiscriminately, Su Yan will not interfere.

After everyone greeted each other and said a lot of auspicious words, the children also received their own red envelopes.

The whole family sat around the two stoves, drinking tea, chatting, eating snacks and watching TV.

Chen Yuhe looked at the children of her eldest brother and felt envious. She wished she could give birth to another son for Lu Jin, preferably one who was as tall, thin and handsome as Lu Yiming.

"Sister-in-law, could the coat Yiming is wearing belong to big brother? I often see your Yiming wearing big brother's clothes."

"He grew so fast and it was hard to buy clothes. In the winter he had nothing to wear so he just wore some of his dad's coats."

Su Yan didn't say whether the coat her son was wearing was his father's or his own. The father and son were very similar in height, but Yiming's shoulders were not as broad as his father's, and he was not as big as his father.

Although he was very fat when he was a child, he became very thin after growing taller. Although this kid has no extra fat on his body, he is a big eater and his appetite is comparable to his father's.

Chen Yuhe looked at Lu Yiming, who was playing chess with her father-in-law not far away, and sighed, "If we didn't know his age, we would have thought he was sixteen or seventeen! If this kid goes to school, won't he charm a lot of female classmates?"

All of Yiming's female classmates are older than him, and there are many who are two or three years older, or four or five years older. Don't say that a woman who is three years older than you will marry a rich man. Su Yan doesn't like her son to find a wife who is older than herself in the future.

Women age faster than men. When boys are young and in school, they like girls who are older than themselves. Later, the older men get, the more they like younger girls.

If his son finds a lesbian who is four or five years older than him in the future, it will be fine during the honeymoon period because the woman will be older and more tolerant of the man. But when they reach middle age, the woman will be older and insecure, and all kinds of conflicts will arise between the couple. The fact that the wife is older than the husband will become the fuse of the quarrel.

"Yiming said he won't date before he's 20, and he's still young."

He Na walked over to Su Yan, holding the child and sat down next to her. "Sister-in-law, did Yiming buy that woolen coat at the department store? We've never seen this style before. Yiming really looks like a nobleman from the Republic of China who walked out of an oil painting."

"I didn't buy the coat. I made it for him."

"Yiming's coat is longer and better-looking than the ones in the store. Sister-in-law, this coat is not cheap, is it?"

Su Yan nodded, but didn't say the exact amount of money. She knew that even if He Na loved Lu Yu very much, she would not make a tweed coat specifically for him.

Lu Yu is a pilot and wears a custom-made pilot leather jacket in winter. Now she is not going to work to take care of the children. She will definitely not spend money indiscriminately if it is not necessary.

Who knew she was wrong? He Na suddenly asked, "How much does it cost to make a woolen coat like this? I want my Lu Yu to make one too. I just touched the quilted lining of the coat you made for Yiming."

"This type of woolen cloth is 35 per meter, and some are 31 meters. Your Lu Yu is taller than Lu Ting."

"Height: 184.6cm."

Huh? He looked about 1.89 meters tall in high-top shoes. She had always thought Lu Yu was 1.87 to 1.88 meters tall.

He looks tall because he is thin, but in this case he is actually not much taller than Lu Ting.

Seeing that Su Yan didn't believe him, He Na said, "If he's taller than 185cm, he'll have to step down. Sister-in-law, did you help make Yiming's clothes? I'll go get some fabric. Can you make one for my Lu Yu? I'll pay for the labor."

She made clothes for Lu Ting and her brother-in-law, and she wasn't stupid. She wouldn't be interested in the three or five yuan labor fee for a coat.

“I’m sorry, sister-in-law, my wife hasn’t made any clothes yet, so it’s not appropriate to make clothes for my brother-in-law.

If you want to make a woolen coat for Xiaoyu, you can buy the fabric first and take Yiming's clothes to the tailor to look at. The experienced tailor can make it according to your instructions.

But Xiaoyu will be going back to work soon, so he won’t be able to wear this coat anymore. Maybe I can make it at the end of the year.”

Seeing Su Yan's refusal, He Na naturally didn't say anything more. She smiled and said, "Then I'll go look at the fabric in a few days."

Chen Yuhe asked He Na, "Fourth sister-in-law, how many cloth coupons do you have? Can you give me some? I want to buy some cotton cloth to make monk clothes for my unborn child."

He Na did have a lot of cloth coupons saved up, but she also had two children, and she herself was reluctant to use them, so why should she give them to Chen Yuhe?

"Second sister-in-law, I don't have many cloth coupons. I will definitely exchange them for you first when I have extra ones in the future." He Na smiled and made a big promise to Chen Yuhe.

Zhong Lingshan was overwhelmed looking at the room full of children. No one came to help her hold the children during the New Year.

My sister-in-law is living a comfortable life. Her children have grown up, and they are all beautiful and well-dressed. When they come back as a family, it is not just like going home for the New Year, but like distinguished guests visiting.

In the past few years, my sister-in-law has done no work and just eaten and worked. If my parents-in-law are really too busy, I still have my eldest brother and that kid Lu Yiming to take care of it. My sister-in-law is so lucky.

At eleven o'clock, Hua Min went to the kitchen to busy herself, and Chen Yuhe went to help with her bulging belly. When Lu Yu saw his wife taking care of the children, he took the initiative to go into the kitchen to take a look. He could do the work of killing chickens, ducks and fish.

Su Yan has learned her lesson. Their family has been separated for a long time, so she naturally won't take the initiative to help them cook. She is not the Lu family's exclusive chef.

As for Lu Ting and Lu Yiming wanting to help, she didn't stop them, and Hua Min was too embarrassed to ask Su Yan for help.

On the first day of the New Year, Su Yan spent a comfortable day at the Lu family. The next day, she returned to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, bringing cigarettes, alcohol, tea, a leather hat and canned fruits for her grandfather.

Su Yan didn't expect that in such a snowy weather, her grandfather would be sick and lying in bed.

It wasn't a serious illness, he just kept coughing and had difficulty breathing. Su Yan suspected that his grandfather had a lung problem.

However, her grandfather was a barefoot doctor when he was young, so he should be very clear about what is wrong with her body.

These days, Jiang Lingling stews a pear with rock sugar for her father-in-law, or steams a stinky orange with honey for him to eat. It's better than nothing, but the effect isn't great either.

Su Yan advised her grandfather to go to the hospital to see if there was any inflammation in his lungs, but old man Su was unwilling to do so. He didn't want to go to the hospital during the New Year and said that his illness would naturally get better when the weather got better.

What else can I do if I can't persuade him? Fortunately, grandpa finally agreed to move in. I heard that my eldest brother might be transferred back in June or July. As long as my eldest brother and his family come back, grandpa's mood will improve and his spirits will be lifted.
