It was New Year's Eve, the lights were on and the house was brightly lit.
Lu Yu, Qin Wan, Aunt Yu, and the four little ones in the stroller were all beaming with joy. They happily sat around the dining table, enthusiastically savoring the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner that Aunt Yu had carefully prepared.
At this time, the table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes:
The braised spareribs are shiny and juicy, exuding a rich aroma; the steamed fish is so tender and juicy that it seems to dance on the tip of your tongue; and the braised prawns are so red that they make you salivate...
These delicious dishes are dazzling and eye-catching!
In this warm and cheerful atmosphere, Qin Wan said with emotion:
"Oh my, time flies by so fast, like a fleeting moment. In the blink of an eye, I have been with the army for more than a year!
Looking back, every little detail of the past year is still vivid in my mind. But if I were to say what our family's biggest achievement this year was, it would definitely be these four adorable little ones!
Look at these four little guys, they change every day, they grow up so fast!"
Chen Yu, who was sitting next to the stroller, nodded and responded with deep sympathy:
"Yeah, isn't that right? It feels like just a blink of an eye, and these kids are already over half a year old!"
At this time, Aunt Yu couldn't help but interrupt and echoed with the same emotion:
"That's right! There's a saying in my hometown: 'You don't see the child grow, you only see the clothes shrink.' It means that even though the child is in front of us, we can't feel his growth. But clothes have memories. The children's clothes are getting smaller and shorter one by one, which means that the children are growing up quickly."
Hearing Aunt Yu's words, Qin Wan quickly responded with a smile:
"Auntie, you're absolutely right! And the fact that our children can grow up so healthy and happy is definitely due to the great contributions of you and Aunt Zhang! If it weren't for your daily meticulous care and loving protection, how could the children be so lively, cute, and growing up so healthily!"
As she spoke, Qin Wan hurriedly turned and walked into the bedroom. Not long after, she appeared in the living room again, holding a small and exquisite box in her hand.
When she gently opened the lid of the box, a bottle of beautifully packaged Wuliangye appeared before everyone like a precious work of art.
Not only that, together with this bottle of fine wine, there are three crystal clear wine glasses that shine like crystal. They lie quietly in the box, emitting charming light.
Lu Yu looked at his wife and saw that she had brought out such wine and wine utensils. He was not surprised at all. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a doting smile.
He was already accustomed to this kind of situation, so he didn't even ask a single question.
In his heart, as long as his beloved wife can stay by his side wholeheartedly and work hard to manage their marriage life together, everything else seems insignificant.
No one knows a wife better than her husband. He knows very well that if even good wine can't make him shut up and stop nagging, then the next second, he will probably be greeted by his wife's determined back as she leaves.
Lu Yu had a warm smile on his face as he stretched out his hands and steadily took the bottle of wine from Qin Wan. His movements were skillful and graceful, as if he had repeated this scene countless times.
Then, he gently unscrewed the bottle cap. With a soft "pop," a faint aroma of wine slowly wafted out. Then, Lu Yu carefully poured the wine from the bottle into the three glasses placed in front of him one by one.
He concentrated on controlling the speed and angle of pouring the wine, fearing that the slightest mistake would cause the wine to splash or be unevenly poured.
Finally, when the liquid in each wine glass was about to overflow the edge, Lu Yu stopped his actions at the perfect moment.
In an instant, the rich, mellow and intoxicating aroma swept across the entire room like a surging tide, penetrating into people's nostrils everywhere, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
Qin Wan smiled and gracefully picked up the exquisite wine glass in front of her. Then she looked at her aunt sitting opposite her and said sincerely and gratefully:
"Auntie, we've had a really relaxing and enjoyable New Year this year! This is all thanks to you and Auntie Zhang. It can be said that the two of you have made the greatest contribution! Over the past few days, you have shown us meticulous care and taken care of us. We have seen it all and remember it in our hearts!
Auntie, let me offer you this glass of wine on behalf of the children today to express our deep respect and gratitude!" After saying this, she took a sip of the mellow wine in the glass.
Lu Yu always seems particularly comfortable when he is with Qin Wan. That friendly, natural and gentle atmosphere seems to infect everyone around them.
However, when he faced other people, he would unconsciously put away his smile and put on a stern look on his handsome face.
Although there was still a faint smile on his face at this moment, a closer look revealed something unnatural.
But even so, he still raised the wine glass in his hand and said sincerely to his aunt:
"Aunt, I want to toast you too. Thank you for taking care of our family during this time."
The four lively and lovely little ones seemed to understand what their parents meant. They followed suit and surrounded Aunt Yu, shouting in baby voices:
"One cup!"
"One cup!"
The tender children's voices rose and fell one after another, like a beautiful symphony, making the whole scene full of joy and warmth.
Hearing everyone's sincere words and feeling the deep friendship, Aunt Yu felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
The emotion surged into her heart like a tide, so much so that her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, and crystal tears began to swirl in her eye sockets, as if they would roll down at any time.
She reached out her hand in a panic and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, fearing that others would see her like this.
However, despite her efforts to conceal it, her slightly trembling voice betrayed her inner excitement:
"Oh, look at what you're saying... We're all family, so don't be so polite to me! Just thinking about seeing you all happy and joyful every day makes me feel incredibly satisfied! Come on, let's all raise our glasses, cheers!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Yu raised her head without hesitation and drank the glass of fragrant wine in her hand.
