Crackle, crackle.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year.

As the snowflakes gently fell, Feng Haidong and his son picked up his parents and headed to their restaurant.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. There aren't many pedestrians on the streets, but the sound of firecrackers is constant.

As they approached the intersection outside the residential compound, Lu Yaobin's minivan was parked on the side of the road.

Feng Haidong led his parents to the car and opened the door: "Mom and Dad, please get in the car first. It's snowing and quite cold outside."

Lu Yaobin, sitting in the driver's seat, said, "Uncle, Aunt, please get in the car."

Feng Chungu and Liu Guifang got into the car together.

After sitting down, Feng Chungu said to Lu Yaobin, who was driving, "Thank you so much, Yaobin."

Lu Yaobin smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all, I have a car anyway, so it's convenient for me."

Sitting in the car, Liu Guifang looked around and said, "Having a car here is so much more convenient."

Feng Qifan immediately said, "Grandma, having a car is very convenient. You can drive wherever you want to go without having to walk or ride a bicycle, which is so tiring."

Upon hearing his son's words, Feng Haidong laughed and said, "You think walking and riding a bicycle are hard work now?"

Feng Qifan said, "Dad, it's so tiring for you to take me and my sister on your bike every time, and you can't go to Grandpa and Grandma's house by bike."

Feng Haidong got into the car and said, "You're quite reasonable, kid. I'll buy you a bicycle later so you can ride it and give me a ride."

Feng Qifan said, "Okay, but I can't ride your big bicycle right now, Dad."

Before his father could respond, Feng Qifan added, "When I grow up, I'll be able to take you on a bicycle."

Liu Guifang smiled and said, "Our Fanfan is really filial. He knows that when he grows up, he will ride a bicycle to take his father for a ride."

Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Then you didn't say that when you grow up, you'll buy a car like your uncle and take me, Mom, and Grandpa and Grandma around."

Feng Qifan immediately said, "Okay, when I grow up and get a job, I'll buy a car and take my grandparents and parents with me."

As Lu Yaobin started the car, he said, "Very good, that's ambitious. We'll wait for Fanfan to buy a car in the future."

The minivan slowly started and drove towards Feng Haidong's restaurant.

At this moment, in Feng Haidong's restaurant, the roller shutter door at the entrance was lowered, leaving only the side doors on both sides for entry and exit.

The air conditioning in the restaurant was blowing warm air, making the whole place very cozy.

Lu Wanling was holding her daughter and sitting in the restaurant with her little niece.

In the kitchen, Lu Wanling's parents and sister were busy.

Lu Yue was a little restless. Standing next to her aunt, she pouted and asked, "Auntie, why haven't Daddy, Uncle, and Brother come back yet?"

Lu Wanling smiled and reassured her little niece, "Don't worry, they should be back soon."

Lu Yue continued to pout and say, "Dad is so mean. He didn't call me when he and my uncle went to pick up my grandparents this morning."

Lu Wanling said, "It's snowing outside today, and it's very cold, so Dad doesn't want Yueyue to get cold."

Lu Yue said, "It's snowing outside, but it's not cold. Auntie, can I go out and play in the snow?"

Lu Wanling said, "Not now, we have to wait for Dad and the others to come back."

Hearing her aunt's words, Lu Yue could only obediently sit down on the chair next to her.

Seeing her little niece's expression, Lu Wanling smiled and said, "Yueyue, look how warm it is for us to sit in this restaurant with the air conditioning on. You can chat with your sister."

Lu Yue stood up again, walked to her aunt's side, and looked at her younger sister in her aunt's arms.

The baby girl in swaddling clothes is fast asleep.

Looking at her baby sister in swaddling clothes, Lu Yue asked, "Auntie, was I like this when I was little?"

Lu Wanling replied, "Yes, you and your brother were like that when you were little, wrapped up like this, and you needed to be carried like this when you went out."

After taking a closer look at her younger sister, Lu Yue said, "My little sister is really small."

Lu Wanling said with a smile, "Yes, my little sister is still young now, but she will grow up slowly. When she grows up, she can play with Yueyue."

Lu Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll bring my little sister along to play from now on."

Just then, the roller shutter door made a noise.

Lu Yue immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Dad and the others are back!"

Then, the curtain in front of the side door was lifted.

But it wasn't Feng Haidong and his family who walked in; it was Lu Yaorong and his family.

As soon as Lu Shiyi entered the room, she greeted her aunt: "Happy New Year, Auntie."

Lu Wanling smiled and said, "Happy Chinese New Year, Shiyi."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yaorong and his wife Chen Cuiping also came in and greeted Lu Wanling.

Lu Yue naturally greeted her uncle and aunt.

After exchanging greetings and New Year's wishes, Chen Cuiping and Lu Shiyi approached Lu Wanling and examined the baby girl in her swaddling clothes.

Chen Cuiping looked her over and said, "Oh dear, your daughter really looks like her father, and this little girl looks a lot like your brother-in-law."

Looking at her baby sister in swaddling clothes, Lu Shiyi couldn't help but think that the little girl was really fun and adorable.

"Your little sister is so cute."

Lu Yue said from the side, "Sister, let's take care of our little sister together from now on."

Lu Shiyi smiled and agreed, "Okay, but we have to wait until my little sister can walk."

Seeing her sister agree, Lu Yue smiled and said, "Hehehe, when my little sister grows up, my sister and I will both be big sisters."

Lu Wanling said, "Yes, when your little sister grows up, you will all be big sisters."

Chen Cuiping said with a smile, "Then you must protect your little sister and not let her be bullied."

Lu Shiyi and Lu Yue immediately agreed in unison: "Okay."
