"Absolutely!" Qiao Gaoyang patted his chest and assured him.
For a while, he cultivated with Leng Yingying every weekend, and their relationship made some progress.
"Crescent Moon, you've thought of everything so thoroughly," Qiao Shouyan said.
"Alright, big brother, second brother, do you still need to be so polite with me?" Su Yueya said with a smile.
Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue were overjoyed to learn that their future eldest and second daughters-in-law were coming to their home for the New Year, especially Qiao Hanxue, who had never met them before!
"You two boys, keep it up! Don't let Yueya's hard work in creating opportunities for you go to waste!" Qiao Hanxue hugged Lu Si'an and coaxed her, "The important thing is to try to give An'an a younger brother or sister as soon as possible!"
"Dad..." Qiao Gaoyang scratched his head shyly.
Qiao Shouyan's face also turned bright red.
"Oh my, am I seeing things? I can even see Second Brother looking embarrassed?" Qiao Xinruo exclaimed dramatically.
The whole family laughed.
Preparing for the Chinese New Year definitely requires a thorough cleaning.
However, the family usually lives in the space, and the house outside is basically just for show. But it still needs to be cleaned out so as not to arouse suspicion, especially since guests need to be entertained on New Year's Eve.
The whole family pitched in, some taking care of the children, others cleaning, and with everyone working together, the work wasn't tiring.
A week before the Lunar New Year, everyone in the family was already resting.
"The house is almost cleaned up. Shouldn't we go out and do some shopping?" Liu Yuying said.
It's not just because we need to entertain guests; every family needs to prepare some fresh New Year's goods so that the festive atmosphere can't be lacking.
"We need to buy everything in advance, including sunflower seeds, peanuts, candy, and meat and vegetables for the Spring Festival. Otherwise, prices will go up!" Qiao Hanxue said.
As the head chef of the family, he has to ensure everything is done at the dinner table, but even the most skilled cook can't cook without ingredients, so the quality of the food is crucial.
"Let's go shopping together!" Qiao Xinruo said.
There are two little babies at home, so Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue stayed home to take care of the children, while the four siblings went out shopping together.
"The space can store food, so we can buy more vegetables and meat without worrying about them spoiling. If we can't finish them, we can eat them slowly after the New Year," Su Yueya said.
“Okay, Yueya and Xinruo will be in charge of buying, and my brother and I will be the laborers!” Qiao Gaoyang said excitedly. The thought of Leng Yingying coming filled him with enthusiasm.
Qiao Shouyan was in a similar situation; he was also very excited at the thought of being able to meet Meng Yingxin at home.
"Yingxin likes those roasted chestnuts, shall we buy some?" It was rare for Qiao Shouyan to make a request. In the past, he would always agree without any objection to anything he wanted to buy.
"Brother, are you stupid? If you buy them now, the roasted chestnuts won't be fresh by New Year's Eve and won't taste good. If you want to please your sister-in-law, just buy some ready-made ones. Don't be stingy with the money!" Qiao Gaoyang reminded him.
Qiao Shouyan nodded and remembered.
As for what Leng Yingying likes to eat...
"Yueya, Xinruo, let's buy more meat. Then we'll ask Dad to cook some of his signature dishes. Yingzi loves meat! She's not picky; she loves all kinds of meat!" Qiao Gaoyang said, laughing at himself.
Su Yueya shook her head and chuckled. She had witnessed Leng Yingying's starving ghost-like demeanor before.
"No problem, let's go on a shopping spree!"
Finally, all four of them came back carrying large bags and small packages, clearly having bought quite a lot!
“Dad, I’ll help you with the New Year’s Eve dinner. Let’s go over the menu together…” Su Yueya took the initiative to discuss it with Qiao Hanxue.
The rest of the people were happily eating sunflower seeds while taking care of the children.
For the next few days, Su Yueya stayed at home taking care of the child.
But when the night is quiet, she will look through the photos on her phone alone, silently missing Lu Zhengjun in her heart.
Another New Year has arrived. I wonder where he is and how he is doing?
"Lu Zhengjun, is someone going to eat dumplings with you?"
"Xiao Yuan and An An are almost a year old. Don't you want to come back and see them?"
"You must take good care of yourself. I won't rush you back. I'll always be waiting for you, but you must stay safe!"
Su Yueya repeats these words countless times in her mind every day, but she tries her best not to show them to her family so as not to worry them.
Even though her older brothers and younger sister knew the inside story, they still didn't know anything about the current situation, so she still preferred to hide her longing for Lu Zhengjun.
Finally, the long-awaited Lunar New Year's Eve has arrived!
Starting at noon, Qiao Gaoyang entered a state of absentmindedness. He had already changed into new clothes and kept checking the time every now and then, calculating when he should leave.
"Second brother, you're making me dizzy. We just finished lunch, can't you calm down?" Qiao Xinruo rubbed her stomach, leaned back on the sofa, and then mocked her two brothers who couldn't stay calm.
"You're so smug now, just wait until you have a girlfriend—"
"I don't date!" Qiao Xinruo said smugly, chin held high, "Even if I did date, I wouldn't be as pathetic as you and my older brother!"
Su Yueya: "..."
It's best not to say anything too soon.
Although they had invited Meng Yingxin and Leng Yingying to their home for dinner, it would be impolite for them to arrive at mealtimes. They should come earlier to wish the guests a Happy New Year.
So, around 2 o'clock, the eldest and second eldest brothers set off to pick up the person.
only……
Reality seems to be a little different from what they imagined.
Originally, it was thought that Qiao Shouyan would pick up Meng Yingxin and Qiao Gaoyang would pick up Leng Yingying, so that they could have a short time together. But who knew that when they went to the army, they were already together!
"Beautiful Meng, are you waiting for the eldest son of the Qiao family?" Leng Yingying was very proactive.
[This queen doesn't take such initiative with just anyone; it's only because you're pretty, hehe...]
There was no way around it; Meng Yingxin was simply too beautiful. Even her roommates, like Xu Chunyan, who disliked her, had to admit it.
“Yes, you wait for Qiao Gaoyang,” Meng Yingxin said.
Su Yueya had arranged in advance that someone would pick them up, but only now did they realize that Su Yueya's arrangements seemed to have an unusual flavor.
If you're worried they won't know the way, or if it's just to be polite, you could just send one person to pick them up. Why send separate people?
[The female lead is definitely trying to set up Boss Qiao and that beautiful woman. Got it, got it. Tonight I'll be the best wingman!]
Boss Qiao, don't thank me too much! Just call me Leng Feng!
Meng Yingxin: So, this Comrade Leng and Qiao Gaoyang... I understand, I understand. It seems they'll become sisters sooner or later.
