"No, I can't eat anymore." Cheng Haoting touched her stomach which was about to burst, put down her bowl and chopsticks and said.
"Child, how can you sleep at night after eating so much? Hurry up and clean up the dishes and move around." Zhang Fengrong said while gently stroking her back.
"The dumplings today are so delicious. I was so full after this New Year's Eve dinner." Cheng Haoyang said with a smile.
Cheng Haoting and Zheng Xinyue cleaned the table. Just as she rolled up her sleeves and was about to wash the dishes with Cheng Haoting, Zhang Fengrong came over to stop her: "Kid, you don't need me and Haoting to clean it up later."
"Mother-in-law, it's getting late. Let's go back first. You've worked hard today." Cuihua looked at the messy kitchen with an embarrassed tone.
Zhang Fengrong waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's alright, you guys have your own things to do. I'll clean up slowly tomorrow."
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, thank you. This year is the most meaningful year we have ever had." Adam Cheng said while pushing Zheng Xinwei.
"Father-in-law, don't forget our agreement. We will spend every year together from now on." Cheng Dayu took his hand, full of enthusiasm.
"Okay, we are all family, everything is easy to talk about." Zheng Shaochun responded with a smile.
In the middle of the night, the lights in the houses around them were still brightly lit, and the Cheng family accompanied the Zheng family to the entrance of the yard.
"Okay, it's so cold, let's go back quickly!" Zheng Shaochun waved his arms and said to them to go back quickly.
"Everyone, go back to your rooms and sleep. We'll wash the dishes tomorrow. Get some rest." Zhang Fengrong said, twisting his waist and stretching his muscles.
"Mom, you must be exhausted today, right?" Zheng Xinyi massaged her shoulders with great attentiveness.
Zhang Fengrong yawned subconsciously: "It's okay, I'm just so sleepy now."
"Haoyu, take Xinyi to rest quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings!" Cheng Dayu winked at Cheng Haoyu.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I have already burned your kangs." Cheng Haoyang said.
"Oh, I haven't made the quilt yet." As she spoke, Cheng Haoting turned around and was about to run to Cheng Haoyu's room.
Zheng Xinyi stopped her in time: "Haoting, you're tired all day, go and rest! I'm not that delicate, I can just make the quilt myself."
Cheng Haoting stretched out his hand and yawned: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep."
Cheng Haoyu helped Zheng Xinyi back to the inner room, spread out the quilt, sat on the kang, looked around, and sighed softly: "This New Year has passed like this."
"After staying at home for two days, are you feeling reluctant to leave?" Zheng Xinyi sat beside him and placed her comforting hand on his.
Cheng Haoyu's mouth curled up slightly: "The one who knows me best is Zheng Xinyi."
Zheng Xinyi leaned her head on her shoulder: "Because I feel the same way."
Cheng Haoyu crossed his fingers with her and looked out the window at the red lanterns. An inexplicable melancholy coursed through his bloodstream. He didn't know why. Cheng Haoyu always felt that something big was about to happen. This Lunar New Year was over, but they still had a tough battle to fight. It was hard to say whether this place would still be as peaceful as it was now during the Lunar New Year next year.
"Haoyu, let's go to bed! We have to wish our parents a happy new year tomorrow morning!" Zheng Xinyi reminded him.
"Okay." Cheng Haoyu responded with a smile.
