After Ruan Fei left the dormitory, Tang Xiaorou and Su Yao also packed up their things and prepared to go back.

"Xiao Rou, see you during the Chinese New Year." Su Yao waved to Tang Xiao Rou and parted ways with her at the intersection. Tang Xiao Rou also waved back at her, "Okay, see you during the Chinese New Year."

What Tang Xiaorou didn't expect was that the two had met before the New Year.

"Mom, have you packed all your things?"

After Tang Xiaorou knew that her mother was going to Jinling for the New Year, she went directly to the Yue family's old house.

Qin Xueqiong smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, everything is ready." Then she took her eldest daughter's hand and said, "Xiao Rou, thank you for helping to take care of the younger siblings. You've worked so hard." Originally, she wanted to take the two children to Jinling together, but when Xiao Rou found out, she persuaded her not to do so. So now the two children are left in the capital, and Xiao Rou comes to lend a hand to help take care of the younger siblings.

Tang Xiaorou smiled and said, "Mom, this isn't hard work. Aunt Qian will take good care of my brothers and sisters, and I'm just helping out. But Dad has been too busy lately. He hasn't been home for so long, and he doesn't have time to come back for the New Year. You have to go over and accompany him."

Qin Xueqiong sighed and said, "Yes, A Yuan hasn't been back for a long time. I was thinking about meeting him during the Chinese New Year, but he was busy during the Chinese New Year, so I had to go."

"Mom, have you told Dad about going there?"

Qin Xueqiong smiled and shook her head and said, "I haven't told you yet. I plan to give him a surprise."

Seeing her mother's rare cute look, Tang Xiaorou couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, go over and give Dad a surprise. He will definitely be happy to see you."

While the mother and daughter were talking, Su Yao came over.

"Aunt, I will help Xiaorou and her husband Yangyang and Jingjing."

Hearing this, Qin Xueqiong couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, thank you Yaoyao."

The next morning, Qin Xueqiong packed her luggage and went straight to Jinling, while Tang Xiaorou also stayed in the Yue family's old house. Su Yao and Old Lady Yue were very happy and kept talking to Tang Xiaorou.

"Xiao Rou, it's rare for you to come home to celebrate the New Year. We must have a good time on New Year's Eve."

Hearing what Old Lady Yue said, Tang Xiaorou couldn't help but say, "Grandma, I come here often, so it's not rare at all, so let's just have a simple meal."

"That's impossible. Chinese New Year is different from normal days, so we must have a good gathering." Old Mrs. Yue waved her hand and wrote down the menu for New Year's Eve. "I'll have someone prepare it well by then." But she still asked one more question, "Does your mother-in-law have any complaints?"

Tang Xiaorou shook her head and said, "No, my mother-in-law is very considerate. When she knew my mother was going to Jinling, she had already sent someone to come and take care of my younger brothers and sisters. As for Xiaoliang and Xiaoyan, she and my father-in-law will take care of them."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Yue nodded.

"Your parents-in-law are really sensible, but doesn't Huai Xu get to rest during the New Year?"

"Yeah, Huai Xu is also a bit busy. There is no holiday during the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, he is close to home now, so he will come back when he has time."

Hearing this, Old Lady Yue sighed and said, "Alas...the men at home are just too busy and have no time to go home."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Grandma, Jiayan will be at home during the New Year. Let him talk to you then."

"Haha, okay."

Hearing her granddaughter-in-law's words, Old Lady Yue couldn't help laughing out loud, and pulled her aside to ask her many questions.

Su Yao answered all the questions one by one, and said that she would stay at home for a few more days during the New Year, and would find time to go back to her hometown after the New Year.

"Have you agreed with your parents? If your in-laws disagree, you and Jiayan should go there earlier."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma, my parents have already made arrangements."

"That's good."

They sat together and talked for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Xiaorou stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going to go check on Yangyang and Jingjing. I don't know if they're awake yet."

"Okay, go ahead."

When Tang Xiaorou returned, she saw Yangyang and Jingjing sitting together and talking to each other.

"Our Yangyang and Jingjing are awake. Sister will come and make milk powder for you right away."

Aunt Qian saw Tang Xiaorou coming over and said with a smile, "I've already made some for them."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou took a pigeon-shaped glass bottle with a smile and said, "I'll feed Jingjing, Aunt Qian, you can help feed Yangyang."

"good."

Aunt Qian smiled and nodded.

After the two children finished drinking milk, Tang Xiaorou burped them and then played with them for a while.

Aunt Qian saw Tang Xiaorou teasing her younger brother and sister, and couldn't help laughing: "Your mother is grateful to you, otherwise she wouldn't be at ease going to Jinling alone."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou couldn't help but say, "It's all thanks to you, Aunt Qian, or I wouldn't be able to handle it all by myself."

Aunt Qian laughed out loud when she heard this, and felt very happy.

With Aunt Qian taking care of the children, Tang Xiaorou was not actually tired. She could even go shopping with Su Yao sometimes. However, it was Chinese New Year after all, so Tang Xiaorou still found time to return to the Shen family's old house and deliver all the new year gifts she had bought.

"Xiao Rou, you are so busy taking care of your brothers and sisters, why did you buy things back?"

When Shu Ruqiu saw his daughter-in-law, he quickly pulled her to sit down and scolded her for buying so many things.

Tang Xiaorou smiled and said, "Mom, this is what we should do. It's the New Year, so we should celebrate. I've also prepared everything for grandpa and grandma, and I'll go over there later."

Shu Ruqiu wanted to keep his daughter-in-law for dinner, but when she thought of the two babies at Yue's house who needed her care, she didn't say much. Instead, she took Xiaoliang, Xiaoyan, and Tang Xiaorou to visit Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

Arriving at Mr. and Mrs. Shen's place, Tang Xiaorou chatted with the two old people for a while, then took Xiaoliang and Xiaoyan out to play for a while before finally returning to Yue's old house.

What Tang Xiaorou didn't expect was that when she returned, she actually met her mother who was originally going to spend the New Year in Jinling.

"Mom, why are you back?"

Qin Xueqiong saw her daughter coming back, and forced a smile and said, "Yue Yuan was too busy, and I disturbed him by being over there, so I came back first. Besides, I was worried about Yang Yang and Jing Jing."

Tang Xiaorou didn't believe a word of what he said.

I don't know how much my mother was looking forward to spending the New Year with Yue Yuan before she left, but now she's back. She rushed back without stopping as soon as she arrived in Jinling. Something must have happened between them.

"Mom, what happened?"
