"Mother-in-law, we are here." Cuihua walked into the yard with flour and pork in her arms and called out with a smile.
Zhang Fengrong, who was busy in the kitchen, hurried out to greet her. Seeing what she was holding, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He gently pushed her and said, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing? I asked you to come here to celebrate the New Year, but why did you bring your family's wealth with you?"
"It's my duty. So many people have come to our Zheng family at once. The little bit of flour your family got is not enough for so many hot meals." As she spoke, Cuihua handed the flour and pork to her.
"Haoyu, quickly push your brother-in-law into the house." Cheng Dayu said in a slightly commanding tone.
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Haoyu hurried out to help. Zheng Xinwei smiled a little embarrassedly: "Haoyu, thank you for your hard work."
"Brother, what are you talking about? We are all family, no need to be so polite." Cheng Haoyu said with a smile as he pushed him into the house.
Before they came, Zhang Fengrong had indeed wondered whether this amount of white flour was enough for so many people to eat dumplings. Unexpectedly, the Zheng family was quite generous. Now everyone can eat dumplings in peace.
"Mother-in-law, let me make the dumpling filling. Making dumpling filling is what I am best at." As she spoke, Cuihua had already put on an apron, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to start work.
"Okay, then everyone get ready. Those who wash vegetables, wash them. Those who cut vegetables, cut them. Those who knead the dough, knead the dough." Zhang Fengrong started to get ready happily.
"What can I do?" Zheng Xinyi stood up and asked.
Zhang Fengrong quickly helped her sit down like a treasure: "Just wait patiently for the dumplings. You don't have to do anything. Just take care of yourself."
"Sister-in-law, if you really can't sit still, why don't you let my brother accompany you for a walk? It's very lively outside now." Cheng Haoting reminded with a smile.
"Okay." Cheng Haoyu responded.
"It's quite cold outside today. If you two go out, you have to wear more clothes and don't catch a cold." Cheng Dayu reminded.
Cheng Haoyu took Zheng Xinyi's flowery cotton-padded jacket and put it on her himself, then handed her the scarf. "Don't worry! I will definitely cover Xinyi tightly. I don't think she will get sick."
Cheng Haoting was right. Even though the weather was so cold today, there were still a lot of people on the streets. Seeing everyone's faces full of smiles, Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi were very pleased.
"If we can let everyone have a good year every year, that would be the biggest wish of us soldiers," Cheng Haoyu said.
"Yeah! I think if it weren't for the intense war on the front, everyone would have had a much more enjoyable New Year." Zheng Xinyi responded, then reached out and touched her belly, saying in a gentle tone, "Baby! This is your first New Year in my belly. Do you feel the joy?"
Cheng Haoyu wrapped her scarf tighter around her neck: "This is not only our baby's first New Year in your belly, but also our first New Year together after we got married."
Zheng Xinyi suddenly realized: "That's right! This time last year, we were preparing to get married. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. Time flies!"
"Yes! I still remember this time last year, our two families were in full swing." Thinking of the past, Cheng Haoyu's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly, and he really had a feeling of endless aftertaste.
