Before he could be happy for long, Xia Ruzheng suddenly thought of another problem and said hurriedly, "Since they know we are here with bad intentions, they will definitely be on guard and even try to do something dirty. You must be careful, they might even try to steal our things!"
Although opening a factory there is intended to compete with them, you can't get yourself involved, right?
Wen Zhichao said, "Don't worry, I'll let Awang take charge of security and ensure that our things and drawings won't be stolen."
Xia Ruzheng was finally relieved. She had absolute faith in Awang and Haisheng, not only because of their relationship, but also because of their abilities, which had helped Wen Zhichao solve many problems. It was only right to bring them in now and share the benefits.
Last year, because Xia Ruzheng was expecting a baby, she didn't have New Year's Eve dinner with Grandma Liu and Grandpa An. While Xia Ruzheng was in the hospital giving birth, Grandma Liu brought her plenty of soups and drinks. After the birth, Grandma Liu and Grandpa An often helped care for the baby, treating him just as well as their grandparents. So this year, the couple felt it was time to show their appreciation for the family, so Xia Ruzheng prepared the New Year's Eve dinner and even gave them a generous red envelope.
The two elders were from a single-child family, lonely in their old age, without a son, let alone a grandchild. So, they loved the baby, and since the two families could celebrate Chinese New Year together, why wouldn't they agree? Of course, they were happy. But when they saw the large red envelopes given by the two, they were unhappy, saying, "How could they give money to two young couples when they needed it?"
Xia Ruzheng advised: "Although we are spending money now, we still have this little money. Please accept it. It was given to you as a gift from our filial piety."
"Do you think I'll be short of this money? As long as you're here and make our yard lively and bustling, we'll be happy."
The older people get, the more afraid they are of loneliness.
"Look at what you said. One thing is another."
After much effort, they persuaded them to accept it. But when they opened the New Year's money given to the baby by the elders in the evening, they found that the money given to the baby was more than what the two of them had given to the elders. The couple was speechless.
"It's not a good idea to send it back. It's unlucky."
I had already given a red envelope, and this was returned under the name of a red envelope, so returning it again would not sound good or look good.
Xia Ruzheng said, "These two old people are really... I don't know what to say. It seems that they really don't lack money to spend. Let's be more filial to them in the future. They treat us no worse than many biological parents."
Wen Zhichao expressed his agreement.
The next day was time for New Year's greetings. Tian Nier and Tian Dazhuang also came. Both of them were wearing new clothes. It seemed that they had made some money that year.
"Oh, look at your girl, she's getting prettier and prettier, haha... Hurry and give her a hug!"
As soon as Tian Nier saw the baby, she reached out her hand.
I don’t know if it’s because she misses her child and hasn’t seen her for years, but Tian Nier is very good to the baby. She hugs her whenever she sees her and coaxes her to call her aunt in a soft voice. It is said that in their family, the sisters who call mom call her that, and Xia Ruzheng doesn’t stop her. It’s good to have more aunts.
The baby is very beautiful, with round, black eyes and fair skin where you can almost see the veins. Her soft, jet-black hair is tied into a braid, and she's wearing a red cotton-padded jacket. She looks like a little Fuwa (Chinese lucky doll). She's also very well-behaved. Although she hasn't spoken yet, she knows how to kiss. When she sees someone she likes, she'll lean over and give them a kiss. It's so adorable!
Xia Ruzheng had never experienced the joy of raising a daughter.
Soon, the first wave of people came to pay New Year's greetings to Grandma Liu's house. The two families hurried out, sat at Xia Ruzheng's house, had lunch, and then went out together to pay New Year's greetings.
Now I am familiar with the neighbors nearby, and I go to every house to say Happy New Year.
The baby's little pocket was filled with a lot of candy at once. The person behind said that there was no more room, so he put the candy in his parents' pockets. When his parents' pockets were also full, he would take a bag and put more candy in for you!
Candy was not a very common thing these days, but the baby brought back a lot of candy at once, which shows how popular she was.
Tian Nier joked that the baby doesn’t need to buy candy this year because the candy is enough for a year.
Xia Ruzheng wiped the saliva from the baby's candy and said, "Of course, who told me that I'm so popular? With so many people giving me candy, I'm sure I'll have a sweet year."
