In previous years, when her grandfather was alive, no matter how busy she was with work, she would always spend Chinese New Year with him.
After my grandfather passed away, I was either busy with work or spent the Lunar New Year alone at home, and I gradually got used to this kind of life.
The New Year celebrations at the Fu family's home were more lively than she had ever seen before.
The group of people stood up and clinked glasses. Youyou and Tiantian also raised their milk cups, then clinked glasses with their grandparents sitting next to them before happily drinking from their cups.
After taking a sip of red wine, the group began to eat.
Fu Shiqin ate a few dishes and then said with dissatisfaction.
"Mom, how biased are you? There are Grandma's favorite foods, Dad's favorite foods, and the rest are all my sister-in-law's, Youyou's, and Tiantian's favorite foods. I and the third brother don't get any of the foods we like."
"If you don't have any, then go out and starve. Don't eat anymore." Madam Fu glanced at her sideways.
Fu Shiqin pursed his lips, not daring to utter another word in rebuttal, but his chopsticks never stopped moving.
He not only served himself some food, but also made sure to serve Ling Jiao a bite.
"Ling Jiao, don't be shy, help yourself to whatever you want to eat," Madam Fu gently reminded her.
“Okay, Auntie.” Ling Jiao nodded.
As Fu Shiyi ate, he glanced at Kaman Dorrance and teased him.
"Uncle Dorrance, I've only been gone a short time, how come you've gotten so fat again?"
“What do I mean?” Kaman Dorrance refused to admit it.
“Of course you do, you’ve got a double chin,” Fu Shiyi said.
Kaman Dorrance used to be tall and slender, and due to years of poor health, she was quite thin.
But after arriving at the Fu family's house, perhaps because their food was so good, his figure began to gain weight at a visible rate.
“The doctor said that he is in the best physical condition right now,” Gu Weiwei explained.
Compared to his weak appearance when he first came from Italy, Camandolans looks much better now, and doesn't look like someone who has been ill for many years at all.
"That's right, the other day the two of them were arguing about having a driving contest, thank goodness I locked all the car keys," Mrs. Fu complained.
Fu Shengying smiled awkwardly, "We were just saying, but you actually took it seriously."
It's hateful that he collected so many beloved cars, but now he can't drive any of them and can only look at them helplessly.
"Dad, you have so many cars, and Mom won't let you drive them, so why don't you give me a ride?" Fu Shiyi said with a smile.
"You wish!" Fu Shengying glared at him fiercely. Those were treasures he had collected for many years, and he would never give them away.
The group enjoyed a lively New Year's Eve dinner, and Ling Jiao was persuaded by Madam Fu to stay at the Fu family's old residence.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Weiwei led her adorable little buns to pay New Year's greetings to several elders, who gave each of them a red envelope.
Seeing this, Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiyi also offered their New Year's greetings, but then gave them nothing.
“Your sister-in-law has one, why don’t we?”
“Your sister-in-law is still young, she should receive a red envelope.” Fu Shengying argued illogically.
“She’s still young, and she’s already a mother of two.” Fu Shiqin was very dissatisfied with the current atmosphere at home.
While they were arguing, Ling Jiao also got up, came out and politely greeted the elders, wishing them a Happy New Year.
Madam Fu and the others also gave her a New Year's red envelope each, which made Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiyi so angry that they almost vomited blood.
However, the elders, seeing their angry expressions, all laughed with schadenfreude.
