Chu Tian looked down and saw Wu Ya glaring at him unhappily. He immediately smiled, squatted down and touched her puffed-up face, and said with a smile, "Protect, Daddy will definitely protect our Wu Ya."

Wu Ya's face brightened up at this moment. She hugged Chu Tian's face and kissed him hard, "Wu Ya, protect your mother and brother too..."

Chu Tian was happy and teased her deliberately, "Our Wu Ya is awesome, but when her younger brother is born and grows up, she won't need Wu Ya's protection anymore. How about letting her younger brother protect Wu Ya then?"

Wu Ya pouted, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "No, Wu Ya is the older sister, I have to protect my younger brother!"

Chu Tian wanted to say something, but Yao Xiujuan, who had already set the table, said helplessly, "You two are done, it's time to eat. After dinner, you can discuss who will protect whom, okay?"

Chu Tian tapped Wu Ya's nose and whispered, "Wu Ya, go wash your hands quickly, otherwise your mother will be angry and won't let you protect your brother..."

Wu Ya was horrified and hurried to the basin to wash her hands carefully.

After breakfast, Chu Tian washed the dishes and took out a bag of sugar from the cupboard and said to Yao Xiujuan and Wu Ya.

"I'm planning to visit the captain's house. How about you two come with me?"

Yao Xiujuan, "Let's go! The captain has always been very caring towards us. It's only right that we go and pay New Year's greetings during the Lunar New Year."

Chu Tian nodded, "Then you and Wu Ya should wear something warmer, and we'll go now..."

Captain Sun's wife, Aunt Ma, had just brought out two bowls of hot water from the kitchen when she saw Chu Tian and his family of three coming and greeted them warmly.

"Chu Tian, ​​Xiujuan, are you here?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Auntie Ma. I brought Xiujuan and Wuya to wish the team leader a happy new year..."

Yao Xiujuan, "Auntie, Happy New Year."

Wu Ya didn't need to be taught, she said sweetly, "Grandma Ma, Happy New Year..."

Aunt Ma smiled so much that her eyebrows were not visible. She quickly gestured, "Okay, okay, you guys too, hurry into the main room, it's cold outside..."

Then he shouted towards the main hall, "Boss, the Chu Tian family of three is here to wish you a happy new year."

Captain Sun asked Chu Tian and his family of three to sit down. Seeing Chu Tian carrying another package, he frowned and said, "Chu Tian, ​​we are from the same team. Don't give me gifts every time you come here."

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Yes, I won't do that next time. It's just that today is Chinese New Year, wouldn't it look bad to go empty-handed?"

He looked around and said, "By the way, where are Baoguo and Weiguo?"

Captain Sun smiled and said, "They took their children to visit their uncle's house to celebrate the New Year."

Chu Tian nodded in understanding, and then chatted about some random things. Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Tian stood up and helped Yao Xiujuan up and said, "Captain, let's go back first..."

Upon hearing this, Captain Sun's wife hurriedly stopped him, "Oh, no, why don't you just have dinner at Auntie's house?"

Chu Tian smiled and refused, "No, we won't eat here..."

Captain Sun's wife heard this and said regretfully, "Okay, but you have to keep this Wu Ya."

As he said that, he took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper from his pocket and put it into Wu Ya's hand.

"father··"

Wu Ya was holding the red seal in her hand, feeling a little at a loss, and hurriedly raised her head to look at Chu Tian.

"Auntie, this..."

Before Chu Tian could say anything to refuse, he heard Captain Sun's unquestionable voice.

"Take it. This is the New Year's money for Wu Ya. Chu Tian, ​​you have no right to refuse."

Captain Sun had said this, what else could Chu Tian say? He could only say to Wu Ya, "Wu Ya, thank Grandpa Sun and Grandma Ma quickly."

Wu Ya tilted her head and said obediently, "Wu Ya, thank you Grandpa Sun and Grandma Ma."

Aunt Ma touched Wu Ya's smooth short hair with a happy look on her face, "Good girl, Grandma Ma hopes Wu Ya can grow up healthy."

Upon hearing this, Captain Sun standing by had a rare smile on his face.

After leaving the team leader's house, Chu Tian and Yao Xiujuan took their children to meet a few friends they were close to in the team. They greeted each other, chatted for a while, and then went home.

After returning home, Wu Ya gave the red envelope to Yao Xiujuan, and ran to the cabinet and stepped on a chair to take the candy from the cabinet. Yao Xiujuan opened the red envelope curiously and saw a red envelope with one dollar in it. She exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Tian!"

Chu Tian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yao Xiujuan took out the one dollar and handed it to Chu Tian, ​​"Auntie Ma put a dollar in the red envelope she gave to Wu Ya! Do you think she put it in the wrong place? Otherwise, why is there so much money?"

Chu Tian only needed a moment of thought to understand why the captain asked Aunt Ma to make such a large red envelope. However, he did not explain. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's okay. Aunt Ma must have made no mistake. Just put it away for Wu Ya!"

After a pause, he continued, "This is Wu Ya's red envelope, and there's also the one we gave her last night. Put them away separately for her. When she's older, let her keep them and decide how to use them herself!"

Chu Tian thought about the time when she received red envelopes during the Chinese New Year as a child. Her parents always told her to keep them and give them to her when she grew up. She always believed them, but in the end, nothing happened!

In short, he would never be the kind of parent who embezzles his children's New Year's money...

"good."

Yao Xiujuan paused in taking the money. She thought Chu Tian asked Wu Ya to deal with her own New Year's money when she grew up because he remembered that he had never received New Year's money or pocket money when he was a child, and he didn't want Wu Ya to be like him.

So, he immediately took out the homemade coin purse that he had exchanged with the female educated youth from the cabinet, put the red envelope he gave to Wu Ya last night and the one-yuan New Year's money he received today into it, and planned to give it all to Wu Ya when she went to school.

Before going to bed that night, Chu Tian and Yao Xiujuan rummaged through boxes and cabinets to choose what to bring back to her parents' home the next day. "How about these two bags of sugar?"

Yao Xiujuan frowned, "But we only have these two packs..."

Chu Tian put two bags of sugar on the table and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll buy some after the New Year."

Then he scooped out about ten pounds of white flour, five or six pounds of noodles, and about two pounds of millet from the grain jar.

Chu Tian looked at the selections and only picked out four things. He scratched his head and hesitated, "Isn't this too little?"

Yao Xiujuan waved her hands quickly, "A little? Not a small amount! In previous years, we only brought back a bag of snacks and a bag of sugar..."

Chu Tian paused after hearing this, turned around and looked at Yao Xiujuan, and said seriously, "It was less before, that's because we didn't split up the family, and all the money in the family was under the management of mother!"

"But things are different now. We can manage our money as we please. Besides, this is my first time going home since we separated. If I give you too little gift, wouldn't that be embarrassing for you?"
