"Come and eat quickly. The dumplings will get cold soon and won't taste good." Cuihua came out of the kitchen, took off her apron and called out.
When Zheng Xinwei and Zheng Shaochun came to the table, Zheng Xinyi had already set the table. The family sat quietly in their own seats, looking at each other quietly through the heat. No one said that at this moment, everyone's hearts were complicated.
Finally, it was Adam Cheng who spoke first: "Another year has passed."
These words made everyone feel sad, and they lowered their heads silently.
"Dad, what are you doing? It's New Year's Day, why are you looking so sad? This is Xinyi's last New Year at home, let's be happy." Zheng Xinwei reminded.
After a moment, Zheng Shaochun slowly raised his head and said, "My son is right. It's Chinese New Year, a festive day. Let's eat the dumplings quickly! Otherwise, they will get cold soon."
As soon as the words fell, everyone started to pick up their chopsticks. Cuihua took a small bite of the dumpling and couldn't eat it anymore. She cast a worried look at Zheng Xinyi and reminded her: "Child, your wedding is only a few days away. Fortunately, your wedding dress has been prepared long ago. Don't blame us for the delay in organizing the wedding this time."
"Mom, I can't thank you enough, how could I blame you? I have caused so much trouble to the family, I hope you and Dad don't blame me." Zheng Xinyi's eyes were red, and she said excitedly while holding her hand.
"Xinyi, remember what mom said. After you get married, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. You must learn to be a good wife, be filial to your parents-in-law, and get along well with the people in the Cheng family. Of course, don't put yourself too hard on yourself in everything." Cuihua still reminded her worriedly.
Zheng Xinyi couldn't help but burst into tears, her heart aching: "Mom, I know, I know everything."
Zheng Shaochun, who was sitting nearby, kept puffing on his pipe, lowering his head and remaining silent.
Zheng Xinwei and Zheng Xinyue looked at each other, holding the dumplings they had taken a bite of in their mouths, and said they couldn't swallow them no matter what.
"Xinyi, I believe Cheng Haoyu is someone you can entrust your life to. If he dares to let you suffer any injustice, just tell me and I will never forgive him." Zheng Xinwei said seriously.
Zheng Xinyi really felt that she was so happy. After going through so much, she was still tightly surrounded by happiness. A smile appeared on her tearful face: "Don't worry, I will definitely be happy." She reached out to wipe the tears from her face and said to Zheng Xinyue who was playing with half a dumpling in the bowl: "Didn't you keep shouting that you wanted to eat dumplings? Eat them quickly."
Normally, Zheng Xinyue could easily eat ten dumplings in one go, but now she couldn't even eat one.
"It's New Year's Day, let's be happy." Zheng Xinyi frowned slightly and said while trying hard to hold back tears.
"Xinyi, let's three wish our parents a happy new year together?" Zheng Xinwei suggested.
As soon as the words fell, the three children knelt on the ground in unison: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year, good health, and may all your wishes come true!"
Cuihua couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with one hand and support them with the other hand: "Children, get up!"
Zheng Shaochun distributed the red envelopes he had prepared long ago to the three children: "One for each of you, your New Year's money."
"Dad, we are already so old, you don't have to give us New Year's money." Zheng Xinwei declined.
"Just take it if I give it to you." Zheng Shaochun did not refuse.
The New Year's Eve dinner ended very early, and the delicious food on the table was hardly touched. However, it was the most memorable one for everyone in the Zheng family, because it was the first and last New Year's Eve dinner that Zheng Xinyi had at home after she was no longer stupid.
