"Mother, please don't do it. Let Jingyu and I do the job of making dumplings!"
Seeing the old lady rolling up her sleeves and about to start making dumplings, Qin hurriedly spoke up to stop her.
"Do you also think I'm old and useless? I can't even do something as simple as making dumplings?"
The old lady snorted and refused to listen. She immediately picked up a dumpling wrapper to prove that she was still good!
Qin smiled bitterly: "Mother, you have wronged me. That is not what I meant. I just wanted you to enjoy your old age."
"Great-grandmother, great-grandmother, we are back!"
As she was speaking, several familiar voices were heard outside the yard. The old lady immediately threw the dumpling wrappers aside and looked up.
The five brothers and sisters appeared outside the door one after another, and the originally spacious space suddenly became cramped.
"Oh, great-grandmother has finally waited for you all to come!"
Fu Shili ran to the old lady and kissed her wrinkled face affectionately: "Grandma, Shili missed you so much."
The old lady poked Fu Shili on the forehead and said, "Hmph, you stinky, chatty girl, you missed me so much that you didn't even come back to see me? You're living happily out there, leaving Grandmother alone in the mansion to be a grandson!"
Fu Shili chuckled: "Grandmother, Shili is no longer a human being."
"What?!"
Everyone in the room widened their eyes and looked at Fu Shili in unison.
Fu Yanci happened to hear these words when he arrived at the door. He staggered and held onto the door frame, his face as pale as death.
The only cabbage left in his house was eaten by a pig?
Puff——
After seeing his father's expression, Fu Shisong laughed out loud without giving his father any face.
Fu Shiyu put his arm on Fu Shiyi's shoulder: "Eldest sister, do you feel that this picture is familiar?"
Fu Shiyi touched his nose and coughed twice: "After so many years, Daddy hasn't changed at all."
Fu Shili took Fu Yanci's arm and acted coquettishly towards him, while begging him not to hit his future son-in-law when they met later!
Fu Yanci agreed verbally, but when the young man that Fu Shili liked came to the general's mansion, Fu Yanci attacked him without saying a word.
Fu Shili was extremely anxious, but his brothers and sisters just wanted to watch the fun, and even his mother Jiang Jingyu and grandmother Qin didn't stop them.
The old lady even smiled and sat on the armchair, clapping her hands and cheering...
After finishing the affairs at hand, Crown Prince Shen Zhilu came to the general's mansion with his two children.
Today is the Lantern Festival. As the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, Shen Zhilu and Fu Shiyi should not be here, but who can blame the current Emperor and Fu Yanci for being good friends, and the Empress and Jiang Jingyu for being close friends?
Now that they are even closer, they naturally won’t care about these things.
Even the emperor and empress don't care, so the ministers naturally won't interfere in the emperor's family affairs.
With the gathering of the Lantern Festival, the old lady's courtyard instantly became lively. The family gathered around the table, chatting and laughing, enjoying the delicious food.
"Grandma, fireworks, Ruan Ruan wants to set off fireworks!"
After the meal, the little girl in Jiang Jingyu's arms pointed to the door and struggled.
Jiang Jingyu dotingly tapped Ruan Ruan's nose and stood up while holding her: "Okay, okay, grandma will take Ruan Ruan to set off the fireworks."
"Yeah! Let's set off fireworks!"
Upon hearing this, the other boys hurriedly slid down from the stools and ran after him with their short legs.
"Mom, shall we go out and join in the fun?"
Looking at the children running out like monkeys, Qin looked at the old lady with a smile.
"Grandmother, let me help you!"
Fu Shili's eager-to-show young master Fang Zhuchen flashed in front of the old lady and held her enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Fu Shili winked at Fang Zhuchen, then stood up and walked to the other side of the old lady and took her arm.
The old lady looked left and right, and smiled with satisfaction at the handsome man and beautiful woman.
"Shi Li, be good to Zhu Chen from now on. Don't bully him, okay?"
Fu Shili pouted: "...Grandma, what are you talking about? Shouldn't you tell him not to bully me?"
"Lady, I dare not, I dare not!"
Fang Zhuchen hurriedly waved his hand to express his attitude, and his henpecked look made everyone laugh with their hands covering their mouths.
Knowing that several children liked fireworks, Fu Shisong specially bought some from other places.
The moment the fireworks were lit, all kinds of shapes and colors bloomed in the air.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
“That firework is so huge!”
"Does that firework look like a little rabbit?"
Several children looked up at the fireworks and jumped up excitedly.
"You two shouldn't stand with an old woman like me anymore. Go have fun."
The old lady pushed Fu Shili and Fang Zhuchen, and the moment they moved away, Nanny Lian Qiu and Qin stepped forward to take their places and supported the old lady steadily.
Fireworks lit up all over the sky and several children ran around happily.
The five brothers and sisters snuggled together in pairs and looked up at the fireworks in the sky. They were so good-looking that they looked like a pair of perfect couples. It was so pleasing to the eyes!
Fu Yanci and Jiang Jingyu stood on the steps, looking at the scene in front of them with a smile.
Fu Yanci waved his sleeves and took Jiang Jingyu into his arms. Jiang Jingyu tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.
"Yanci, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
As his thoughts turned back, Fu Yanci suddenly remembered what Jiang Jingyu had said to him before - the moonlight is gentle tonight, and so are the people.
