Seeing the little gestures between the engaged couple, He Chenglin and his wife exchanged a smile, both feeling very happy. They were relieved that their daughter and son-in-law had a good relationship and would have a harmonious life in the future.
This year, Gu Qishen spent the Lunar New Year with the He family, but he was even busier than Gu Qishen, only arriving at Han Yixian's house on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. This allowed him to have New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.
When Gu Huayang saw his father arrive, he hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go. Gu Qishen felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at his son's affection for him. Even though he was often away from his son, his son was still very close to him as his father.
He knew it was all thanks to the He family's excellent upbringing; he felt his son was not only happy but also very well-behaved. Whenever his son saw him, he would share the happy things that had happened recently. That's why he felt his son was happy with the He family, and the little guy was growing up healthily.
This put his mind at ease and made him even more grateful to the He family.
He Yuhan prepared a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, including braised pork and four-happiness meatballs, which everyone loves, as well as chicken stew with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour pork, braised carp, stir-fried mung bean sprouts, stir-fried eggs with chives, pickled cabbage and vermicelli, cold kelp salad, pumpkin pancakes, and winter melon meatball soup.
Neither of the He brothers, Zhenhua and He Zhenhua, had a holiday for the Chinese New Year this year. However, since they lived close by, they were able to go home for a reunion dinner before returning to their unit the next day.
Huo Xicheng went back to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year with his family two days before the holiday, so only the He Zhenhua brothers went home on New Year's Eve.
Since their parents were staying at Han Yixian's house, He Zhenhua and his brother also spent the Lunar New Year at Han Yixian's house.
They also knew that Han Yixian and his sister were getting married next year, and since this was their brother-in-law's family, they weren't outsiders.
When the He brothers returned home, it was already dark, and the food was almost ready.
Yu Huiru was very happy to see her two sons return, and quickly said, "Go wash your face and get rid of the cold, dinner will be served soon."
Yu Huiru was busy preparing hot water and towels for her son.
The two brothers felt much better after washing their faces with hot water.
The heating in the room was very high, making the room very warm. In addition, there were many people celebrating the New Year together, and the two children were running in and out, making the house lively and joyful.
When He Haobo saw his father come back, he clung to him and wouldn't leave his side.
He Zhenhua was overjoyed to see his son and immediately hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.
Finally, the two little ones sat in their fathers' laps and ate the New Year's Eve dinner with everyone, enjoying their fathers' service.
With the addition of their son-in-law Han Yixian, the He family's New Year this year can be considered a true reunion.
After He Chenglin said a few auspicious words, everyone started eating. Although there was no alcohol, He Yuhan prepared drinks; everyone enjoyed the plum juice and fruit tea she had specially brewed.
The food at the team was not as good as at home for He Zhenhua and He Zhendong, so He Zhendong was overjoyed by the sumptuous meal today.
Yu Huiru knew that her two sons didn't eat as well as they did at home while they were in the team, so she kept putting food on their plates, saying, "Eat more. Yuhan specially prepared a lot of extra dishes for you today so that you can have a good meal."
Qi Shen, don't be shy, eat more. You've been so busy with work lately, you've even lost weight, eat more meat to nourish your body."
He Chenglin also said, "Health is the foundation of everything. No matter how busy you are with work, you have to take care of your health. Come to our house for meals more often. Don't be shy."
Gu Qishen nodded while holding his son and said, "Yes, I will listen to Uncle He and Aunt Hui. I will be troubling you more in the future. I will also be causing trouble for Yuhan."
He Yuhan said, "Brother Gu, if you come to my house for dinner, I'll just be cooking for one more person, it's no trouble at all. You can spend more time with Huayang. We're all family here, so don't be so polite."
He Yuhan also served food to her two older brothers, saying, "Big brother, second brother, come home for dinner whenever you have time. I'll cook something delicious for you. Even if you can't stay at home for long, it's good to be able to come back for a meal."
Look how thin you all are. I've prepared some food for you this time; make sure you take it with you when you leave tomorrow morning.
He Zhendong nodded and smiled, "Little sister is so thoughtful of her brother. I definitely won't forget to bring food with me tomorrow. I've been looking forward to this meal for so long, just wanting to have a good meal when I go home for the New Year."
Today's meal certainly lived up to my expectations.
He Zhenhua fed his son a bite of food and said with a smile, "Your second brother often talks about how delicious your cooking is. He's been looking forward to this New Year's Eve dinner for a long time."
He Yuhan quickly put a chicken leg on her second brother's plate and said, "Then second brother, you should eat more. I made a lot of dishes today. There's more in the kitchen if it's not enough. Eat as much as you want."
He Zhenhua nodded and said, "Of course. I only ate meat once when I went home last time. I haven't had any meat lately, and my mouth is almost numb."
Yu Huiru also felt sorry for her son and kept putting food on his plate.
He Yuhan also made sure to serve food to Han Yixian, Yuan Qiwen, and her three younger brothers, urging them to eat more.
This was the first time Yue Tingshan had ever eaten such a sumptuous meal, and the first time he had ever experienced such a lively New Year. He felt incredibly fortunate to live in this family.
Everyone enjoyed a happy New Year's Eve dinner, and then He Yuhan took out the fireworks she had prepared beforehand, intending to give the children a surprise.
Yuan Qiwen looked at what He Yuhan had taken out and asked with surprise, "Yuhan, is this fireworks?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "This is a surprise I prepared for you. I was worried that setting off firecrackers would be too noisy and have too much of an impact. These fireworks are not very loud, and no one can see them if you set them off in the yard. You can set them off as you like."
Everyone cheered when they heard that fireworks were being set off. It would be perfect to have fireworks during the Lunar New Year!
Then almost everyone in the family went to the yard to watch the fireworks, just to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
The fireworks He Yuhan prepared were all very beautiful. Yuan Qiwen and He Zhendong set off fireworks together, and the beautiful and dazzling fireworks made the two little ones clap their hands and jump for joy.
The other teenagers were also seeing such beautiful fireworks for the first time, and the courtyard was filled with laughter and joy.
He Chenglin and Yu Huiru watched the group of people having fun in the yard from the living room window and were also happy.
Yu Huiru said with emotion, "This year has been the happiest New Year I've ever had. My son, grandson, daughter, son-in-law, and you are all by my side. There is nothing happier than this."
He Chenglin put his arm around his wife's shoulder and said, "We will be this happy every year from now on. It will be even more lively when our daughter gives birth to our grandson."
Yu Huiru smiled and said, "By then we'll have both grandsons and granddaughters. I didn't get to see my daughter grow up, so I'll have to watch my grandchildren grow up. That will make up for my regret."
He Chenglin said, "Yuhan will be living in the same city as us from now on, and we will definitely help take care of her child."
The couple looked forward to a bright future and hoped to have such a family reunion every year.
