"Xinyi and I should go and wish my father-in-law and mother-in-law a happy new year. Haoyang, don't you have an appointment with someone too? Do you want to go together?" Cheng Haoyu winked at him.
"Oh! I'll go with you." Cheng Haoyang responded.
"Dad, Mom, let's go first." Cheng Haoyu pulled Zheng Xinyi away.
After leaving the house, Cheng Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief, his brows slightly furrowed. "Before my sister-in-law was pregnant, my mother focused almost all her attention on her belly. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she's shifted all her attention to me, asking me about my partner every day. Sometimes I feel like she's driving me crazy."
"Haoyang, our mother is doing this for your own good. Besides, all elderly people are like this. They will worry all their lives." Cheng Haoyu began to persuade.
Cheng Haoyang nodded slightly in understanding, "I understand, brother and sister-in-law, don't worry! I'll just take a stroll around the village, you guys go and pay New Year's greetings!"
"It's so cold, don't stay outside for too long. Be careful not to catch a cold." Zheng Xinyi reminded in a concerned tone.
"I understand, sister-in-law." Cheng Haoyang responded with a smile.
Unable to wait for Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi to arrive, Zheng Xinwei, Shao Fang, and Zheng Xinyue had already wished their parents a happy new year in advance. Zheng Xinyue was holding two red envelopes excitedly. When Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi pushed the door open, she began to show off: "Second sister, second brother-in-law, happy new year! This is the New Year's money given to me by my father, mother, eldest brother, and eldest sister-in-law."
Zheng Xinyi smiled slightly and stuffed the red envelope in her pocket into Xinyue's hand: "This is given to you by my second sister and second brother-in-law."
"Thank you, second sister, and thank you, second brother-in-law." Zheng Xinyue took the red envelope and ran out of the house happily.
Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi looked at each other, then knelt at the feet of Zheng Shaochun and Cuihua: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year. Haoyu and I wish you two all the best in the new year, and may you always be happy."
"Haha, good, hurry up and get up." Zheng Shaochun stuffed the red envelope into Cheng Haoyu's hand: "You are all good children, good children."
"Thank you, Dad." Cheng Haoyu responded with a smile.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Happy New Year." Zheng Xinyi said, holding Shao Fang's hand.
"Haoyu, Xinyi, this is the red envelope that your brother gave you." Zheng Xinwei handed the red envelope to Xinyi.
"Brother, that's not necessary." Cheng Haoyu said deferentially.
"What? Do you think it's not enough?" Zheng Xinwei asked.
"Brother, you know, Haoyu didn't mean that." Zheng Xinyi explained.
Zheng Xinwei handed the red envelope closer, indicating that if it was not his, then he could take it.
"Xinyi, Haoyu, this is a little gift from your brother and sister-in-law. Just take it!" Shao Fang said in a very sincere tone.
Zheng Xinyi cast her gaze towards Zheng Shaochun, who nodded slightly. Then, Xinyi slowly took the red envelope and said, "Thank you, brother, and thank you, sister-in-law."
Shao Fang glanced at Cuihua, then pulled Zheng Xinyi aside and asked, "Xinyi, what did you tell our mother?"
"What's wrong? Is she starting to make things difficult for you again?" Zheng Xinyi asked.
"No, on the contrary, he seems like a different person. He asks me about my well-being all day long and no longer mentions the child. I guess it was you who spoke well of me in front of our mother." Shao Fang said in a much more relaxed tone.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry! I promise that my mother will never make things difficult for you again. Just adjust your mentality and prepare to have a baby!" Zheng Xinyi said confidently.
"Xinyi, thank you." Shao Fang said gratefully.
