After setting off the fireworks, Gu Juncheng took out three big red envelopes and gave one to each of them.

Zhiyuan accepted it without hesitation, saying "Thank you, Dad".

The second sister was a little embarrassed, "I'm so old..."

"No matter how old she is, she is still my sister!" Lin Qingping said with a smile, shaking the red envelope made of red paper in his hand, "I still have some!"

After the firecrackers were set off, the children no longer had to stay up and went to bed. My second sister no longer played the role of a light bulb and went back to her room.

Gu Juncheng and Lin Qingping continued watching TV.

Slowly, Lin Qingping also became tired and leaned in Gu Juncheng's arms, drowsy.

Gu Juncheng covered her with a blanket and said, "Still watching? Are you going to sleep too?"

Lin Qingping shook her head, burrowed deeper into his embrace, squinting her eyes, "Gu Juncheng, I suddenly feel like we are getting old and leaning on each other."

Gu Juncheng kissed her and said, "Okay."

He has always been taciturn in expressing his feelings. Does the word "yes" mean agreement or commitment?

Then... okay!

Lin Qingping smiled and eventually fell asleep in his arms.

When you wake up again, it will be a new year.

She sleeps in bed.

It could only be Gu Juncheng who carried her up.

She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even know he was carrying her upstairs...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, their family of four went to the temple fair.

The temple fair at this time is quite rich, bustling and lively.

There were folk art performances, people appreciating ancient calligraphy and paintings, people selling snacks, and all kinds of fun sundries. It was a very festive occasion.

Sugar painting, blowing sugar figures, candied haws, colorful windmills...

Soon, Zhiyuan had no more space in his hands, so Gu Juncheng just kept buying.

What’s funny is that Gu Juncheng bought two of each item, one for Zhiyuan and one for Lin Qingping. Suddenly, he glanced and saw the second sister, so he bought another one for her as well.

Lin Qingping didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She bit the candied haws and nibbled on the candied painting, "We are not children anymore!"

Gu Juncheng ignored her and continued buying, buying three more copies.

Lin Qingping had no choice but to stuff the leftover candied haws into his mouth, and he ate them anyway.

It was already past noon when they finished visiting the temple fair. They ate all the way and didn’t feel hungry, so they simply went ice skating in the afternoon.

Lin Qingping really can't handle this stuff.

She couldn't keep steady in any game that involved slippery movements, and she was afraid of it. The main reason was that she had not been able to conquer such games in her previous life. For example, when business friends invited her to go skiing, she was never able to do it. So she naturally thought that this was her shortcoming in this life.

So, no matter how Gu Juncheng encouraged her, she was unwilling to put on ice skates.

Gu Juncheng couldn't do anything to her.

"I'll just watch. I'm happy watching you guys skate!" Lin Qingping pushed Gu Juncheng out. "Go ahead. Don't let Zhiyuan get hurt!"

She remembered that it was Zhiyuan's first time to come ice skating as well.

"I'll be there in a moment." Gu Juncheng was also worried about Zhiyuan, as Zhiyuan had already left.

Gu Juncheng took Zhiyuan with him. At first, Zhiyuan was very cautious, but after Gu Juncheng only took him two laps, this guy could skate very skillfully.

I have to say, he really has athletic talent!

The second sister is also better than Lin Qingping!

The second sister actually met a classmate on the ice rink. That classmate was obviously an expert. Before Zhiyuan left the rink, he dragged the second sister to teach her. The second sister stumbled a little, but at least she dared to take a step.

After Zhiyuan was able to skate by herself, Gu Juncheng returned to her side and stood outside with her to watch.

"Why don't you go? Go skating by yourself. Don't worry about me. It's okay with me. I just like watching." It was he who suggested going ice skating, and Lin Qingping was afraid of spoiling his fun.

He glanced at her sideways and said, "I'm already in my forties, and I still love this?"

He doesn't love?

"Then why did you propose it?" Lin Qingping didn't understand.

Gu Juncheng looked at her again.

What does it mean?

Lin Qingping pushed him, "Why?"

He was awkward for a long time before he said, "This is not it. Don't you think you didn't play it when you were a kid?"

"Ah?" Lin Qingping was shocked.

"Lin Qingping," he said, "were you very pitiful when you were a child?"

Lin Qingping's mind suddenly became clear at this moment, so, he bought her one of everything he bought just now, was he compensating for her childhood?

"Really?" she asked, grasping his arm. "Is it?"

Gu Juncheng was shaken dizzy by her and nodded randomly.

"You bought three servings!" Lin Qingping also understood why she bought three servings. Her second sister suffered no less in her childhood than she did. If one daughter in the family was like this, the other daughter must be the same.

Because of her, even her family was taken care of.

This has always been his style, whether in his past life or this life.

A warm current rushed into her heart, making her eyes warm.

"Gu Juncheng..." If there weren't so many people coming and going here, she really wanted to throw herself into his arms and hug him tightly, but she couldn't do that now. People of this era were not so open-minded. She could only hold his arms, "But we don't have these in our hometown, no candied haws, no ice skating..."

He thought about it seriously and said, "This is all my childhood in the capital. I'll think of a solution when we get back."

Lin Qingping: …

He actually took this seriously as a matter.

"No, it's fine now." She whispered, rubbing her face on his arm. "Really, Gu Juncheng, thank you."

Gu Juncheng looked down at her, "Silly, you are so easily satisfied."

Lin Qingping smiled slightly. Who is stupid? Being able to have it again is enough to satisfy me.

That day, Lin Qingping did not go ice skating after all. Instead, Zhiyuan and the second sister had a lot of fun, sweating profusely and were extremely happy.

It's time for dinner when I get home.

At night, Zhiyuan was tired from playing and went to rest. Lin Qingping seemed to be worried and started to pack some things.

"What are you doing?" Gu Juncheng saw that she was not sleeping and was busy running around.

"Zhiyuan is going to the Wen family tomorrow, so I need to get ready." Lin Qingping filled the sofa with clothes, all children's clothes, and arranged them one by one.

Gu Juncheng didn't understand. "We're just going to the Wen family. Why do you need to prepare so many clothes?"

Lin Qingping glared at him and said, "I want to see how to match it to look good!"

Gu Juncheng was even more confused, "What's the difference?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you!" Lin Qingping finally picked out three sets and planned to let Zhiyuan try them tomorrow and wear the one with the best effect.

Gu Juncheng saw her folding the clothes again and said, "Are these Zhiyuan's clothes?"

"Yes!" She makes clothes! How could Zhiyuan be short of clothes?

Gu Juncheng stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qingping looked up at him.

Gu Juncheng tapped her forehead and said, "You don't even have so many clothes!"

"I do! It's just that I always wear the same few pieces. I'm used to it." She prefers to wear something more comfortable in her daily life. "I won't tell you anymore. Come and take a look and help me choose what Zhiyuan should bring tomorrow."

"Bring something?" Gu Juncheng suggested.
