Last year, Zhao Dahua went back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. Unexpectedly, her family arranged a marriage for her with a widower from the same village. Zhao Dahua almost didn't make it back. She didn't plan to go back this year. Huang Wanzhen asked her opinion, bought her an extra train ticket, and went to Shanghai together.

When taking a taxi to the western-style building at No. 37 Ruijin Road, Huang Wanzhen saw the celebrity posters posted on the street, and a hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes.

"Why does this female star look so much like a young lady?" Zhao Dahua looked out through the car window.

Huang Wanzhen said calmly, "When you get home, don't mention the eldest lady in front of Madam! Remember, don't say a single word about the eldest lady."

Zhao Dahua turned around in surprise, and seeing Huang Wanzhen's serious expression, she nodded subconsciously, "Yeah, yeah, I won't mention it, not a single word."

When they arrived at the western-style building at No. 37 Ruijin Road, Song Wenyin, Chen Hanfeng and others were all there. This year, Chen Hanfeng, Haimi and Haili all stayed in Shanghai for the New Year. When everyone met, they first exchanged greetings, and then Huang Wanzhen opened the suitcase, took out gifts from it and gave them to everyone.

Song Wenyin received a fashionable woolen shawl, which she immediately put on. "It's really beautiful. Send me some next year and I'll put them in Jixiangtang and sell them at a high price."

Huang Wanzhen nodded. "Sure, woolen shawls are very popular now."

After everyone received their gifts, they sat on the sofa and chatted. Zhenzhen held her new alarm clock and nestled in Mrs. Huang's arms. "It's really beautiful. It's much bigger than the one the celebrity aunt gave me."

Huang Wanzhen looked at Zhenzhen suddenly and asked, "What did you say?" She couldn't control her voice and it became a little louder.

Zhenzhen seemed to be startled and turned around to hug Huang Dong's neck, "Grandma - Auntie yelled at me -"

Mrs. Huang touched Zhenzhen's head and soothed her, "Don't be afraid, Zhenzhen. Patting her head won't scare her. Pulling her ears will scare her for a while." Then, she glared at Huang Wanzhen, "You come back and scare the kids! Zhenzhen shivered just now."

Huang Wanzhen quickly apologized with a smile, "It's my fault. I didn't sleep well on the train, so I have a headache and I can't control my temper."

Song Wenyin said considerately, "Yes, yes, the bed on the train is so small, it's noisy, and it's bumpy. You definitely won't be able to sleep well. Go catch up on your sleep first, and I'll come back tomorrow."

After seeing Song Wenyin off, Huang Wanzhen returned to her room, took a quick shower, then took out a box of candy from her suitcase and went downstairs.

Sure enough, she saw Zhenzhen playing the wooden horse in the living room. "Zhenzhen, where's grandma?"

Zhenzhen raised her hand and pointed to the kitchen, "Frying small fish."

Huang Wanzhen smiled gently, raised the box in her hand and said, "Do you want to go to my aunt's room to eat candy?"

Zhenzhen got off the wooden horse without hesitation, trotted over and held Huang Wanzhen's hand.

Huang Wanzhen peeled a candy for Zhenzhen, put it in her mouth, and smiled like an auntie, "Zhenzhen, do you like the alarm clock your aunt gave you?"

"I like it." Zhenzhen ate the candy while swinging her legs.

Huang Wanzhen held her in her arms and said, "Zhenzhen, what did Auntie Mingxing give you?"

But unexpectedly, Zhenzhen covered her mouth and said, "Auntie Star doesn't allow me to say it."

Huang Wanzhen stretched out a finger and waved it in front of her with a smile, "Auntie is your relative. You can't tell strangers, but you can tell Auntie."

Seeing Zhenzhen looking thoughtful, Huang Wanzhen continued, "Think about it, is your aunt good to you?"

"Okay!" Zhenzhen said, counting on her little fingers. "Grandma said that Auntie is the best to me. She gave me the money for school and the money for my flowery dress. Auntie raised me when I was little, and I will take care of her when she's old."

Huang Wanzhen nodded in satisfaction. She had never expected her mother to say so many good things about her in front of Xiao Zhenzhen. "Auntie is so good to you. So, tell me, what gift did the celebrity aunt give you?"

Zhenzhen smiled, helped Huang Wanzhen, slid off the bed, and then walked out of the house as if she knew the way. After a while, the baby came back with a purse.

"Look! The pocket watch that the celebrity aunt gave me." Zhenzhen opened her purse and held it in front of Huang Wanzhen with both hands as if she was presenting a treasure.

Huang Wanzhen took it and looked at it carefully. It turned out to be a gold pocket watch, which looked very valuable.

"Zhenzhen, which celebrity aunt gave it to you?" Huang Wanzhen put the pocket watch back into her purse, sealed it, and stuffed it back into Zhenzhen's hand.

Zhenzhen rubbed her purse, "It's that celebrity aunt on the poster on the tall building."

Seeing that Zhenzhen wasn't very clear, Huang Wanzhen asked, "Isn't that the celebrity aunt in the painting in Grandma's room?"

Zhenzhen nodded, then shook her head. "She looks a lot like the one in Grandma's painting, but she's prettier than the aunt in the painting."

There was nothing Huang Wanzhen didn't understand. It turned out that Huang Wanshu had already found her mother and Zhenzhen.

"Then Zhenzhen tell your aunt, does grandma know that the celebrity aunt gave you a gift?"

Zhenzhen shook her head. "I don't know. Aunt Mingxing went to the school to find Zhenzhen. She told Zhenzhen to hide the pocket watch and not let anyone see it."

"Well, Zhenzhen is so good," Huang Wanzhen closed the candy box and handed it to Zhenzhen, "Take it and eat it. Remember to brush your teeth with tooth powder before going to bed at night."

Zhenzhen clapped her hands happily, took the candy box from Huang Wanzhen, and bowed formally, "Thank you, auntie."

"Click--" the door was closed, and Huang Wanzhen fell into deep thought in the room.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and Mrs. Huang has been very busy these days. Every day, she either directs Zhao Dahua to stew chicken and roast duck, or directs Haimi and Xiuzhu to clean the house.

Huang Wanzhen was busy dealing with invitations from acquaintances or receiving guests.

In the entire western-style building, Zhenzhen is the only idle person. She wears a pretty little skirt every day and plays in the lobby on the first floor.

When guests came, Huang Wanzhen would call her over and teach her to pour tea and wish them a happy new year. Although the child was still young, Huang Wanzhen was not usually with her, so she would teach her more whenever she got the chance, so that she wouldn't be too shy when she grew up and went out to socialize.

Huang Wanzhen was busy for half a day in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year. She was not busy at other times. Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she called a car and took Huang Dongshi and Zhenzhen to her second uncle Dong's house at the Sipailou of Chenghuang Temple.

"I knew Fifth Sister would be here today. When did Wanzhen come back?" Dong Jiang came out with a smile on her face and took Huang Dong's hand affectionately. "It's cold outside. Come inside and sit."

Huang Wanzhen handed the New Year gift in her hand to Dong Ruixin who came out to greet the guests, "Second aunt, second uncle, cousin, cousin, happy New Year."

"Happy New Year! Cousin Wanzhen has become more capable and smarter." Li greeted Huang Wanzhen with her pregnant belly.

Huang Wanzhen smiled and touched her hair. "I was too busy and didn't have time to take care of it, so I cut my hair short."

Li smiled and nodded, "It looks good. Students nowadays all have short hair like this."
