Little Softie and Little Second Brother discovered it. The two protective younger siblings rushed over without saying a word, one on each side, and together they tripped the older child, then climbed on top of him and beat him up, and even snatched the things back.
After succeeding, the second child grabbed the little candy and ran away immediately.
The child who was a head taller than them suffered a loss and lay on the ground crying loudly.
Ruan Yunxi doesn't interfere; she lets the children solve things on their own if they can, and only intervenes when they can't.
When Ruan Yunxi arrived, the eldest child had reunited with his younger siblings. Looking at their recovered belongings, they smiled happily.
Upon seeing her, I immediately praised her: "Mom, thank you for giving me a younger brother and sister. Look, they helped me get them back. My older brother took my firecrackers, but he bought them for me."
"Are you alright?" Ruan Yunxi asked, looking at the three children.
They shook their heads excitedly.
Ruan Yunxi praised, "You did a great job. Someone bullied your brother. As siblings, we should work together to stand up against them. Mom is very happy that you are united and help each other. I will buy you some nice fireworks later so we can set them off and watch them ourselves!"
"Yay!" Little Gummy and the others cheered.
Ruan Yunxi bought several tubes of fireworks, chose an open space, lit them, and watched the fireworks bloom in the sky, which made her feel much better.
The children danced with joy and even set off their own fireworks.
Ruan Yunxi supervised them to prevent them from hurting themselves.
Little Soft Candy was scared and kept cowering. In the end, Ruan Yunxi held her hand, lit the fuse of the fireworks, and ran away with Little Soft Candy. Hearing the banging sounds behind them, they turned around and saw the night sky illuminated.
After playing outside for a while, it got too cold, so Ruan Yunxi took them back inside, worried that they would catch a cold if they played for too long.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu have finished getting ready and started making dumplings.
We have to eat dumplings tonight to truly celebrate the New Year.
When Xiao Ruantang and her siblings returned, Sister-in-law Gu, Sister-in-law Gu, and Gu Huahua had all prepared red envelopes, one for each of the three siblings.
After receiving the red envelopes, Little Soft Candy and the others sweetly uttered auspicious and festive words, such as Happy New Year, Good Fortune, All the Best, Good Health, and finally, they even said things like "May your happiness be as vast as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain."
This made everyone laugh.
The little gummy candy laughed along.
Ruan Yunxi also prepared red envelopes for Brother Gu and his family's children.
After all, it was the first time I was taking my child back to my husband's family home for the Lunar New Year, and they all said they wanted to do something too, so everyone could have a good omen.
Not only them, but Little Soft Candy and her friends also prepared red envelopes.
After eating dumplings, and with Brother Gu, Second Brother Gu, and Gu Huahua and her husband leaving, Ruan Yunxi washed Xiao Ruantang and the others' faces, applied lotion, and soaked their feet. Then, she and the others lay in bed together and started opening red envelopes.
Gu's parents gave the most red envelopes, ten yuan each.
With so many children in the family, Mr. and Mrs. Gu had to treat them all the same; as many as their children, Little Softie and her siblings were treated the same.
Sister-in-law Gu gave six yuan.
Gu Ersao also paid six yuan; I guess that's the amount for everyone.
Gu Huahua's number is 8.88, which sounds like "prosperity" in Chinese, and is considered very auspicious.
Ruan Yunxi also packed 8.88 yuan worth of food for the children, just like Gu Huahua.
When Sister-in-law Gu took the child back, she opened their red envelopes and saw that Sister-in-law Gu Er had 6 yuan, and Gu's parents had 10 yuan, and the other two had 8.88 yuan. It was obvious that they belonged to Ruan Yunxi and Gu Huahua, the two sisters-in-law.
Unexpectedly, they even did some calculations and realized that one pack cost this much.
It makes them, as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, seem stingy.
Sister-in-law Gu complained to Brother Gu, "She's so generous, she outshines us all. She really is a capitalist's daughter..."
Before Sister-in-law Gu could finish speaking, Brother Gu glared at her and said, "What do you mean by 'Miss'? She's your third brother's wife, the mother of Little Soft Candy and the others, and she's a member of our Gu family. Don't use that derogatory term to describe her."
Sister-in-law Gu's face darkened: "I'm just telling you, I haven't told anyone else."
“Telling me won’t work either, you still look down on her deep down.” Brother Gu reminded him, “They are husband and wife as one. If you look down on Soft Candy Mom, you look down on my third brother. We are brothers. If you look down on my brother, you look down on me.” Brother Gu stated.
Sister-in-law Gu was nearly furious: "Is your brother more important than your wife?"
Brother Gu didn't want to get entangled with her: "There's no comparison. It's the New Year, and I don't want to argue with you. You know that in your heart."
Sister-in-law Gu was so angry she wanted to curse, so she turned her back and refused to speak to him.
