Even after returning home, Sanwa never forgets to read books every day.
Xiao Duo, on the other hand, was busy working every day in Beijing. Now that she's home for the New Year, she can finally relax and get some rest.
She not only played her younger brothers' favorite Little Tyrant game console with great enthusiasm, but also often watched movies on videotapes, which were mostly collected from Hong Kong.
Zhao Qinglan occasionally watches movies with her daughter to pass the time.
Xiao Duo also learned yoga from her mother and practiced it at home together.
No matter how powerful Xiaoduo is as a boss outside, she is a child who can act spoiled in front of her parents when she gets home.
The mother and daughter would also talk about doing business.
Upon learning that her daughter's advertising company was doing well, Zhao Qinglan was pleased and also offered some suggestions.
At first, her daughter didn't ask the family for money to invest when she started her company. She was pleased that her daughter was ambitious, but she was also afraid that her daughter's career would not go smoothly and she would suffer setbacks.
She had once considered offering business to her daughter's company indirectly, but after discussing it with her husband, she decided against it.
Li Huai advised her like this: "Over the years, we, especially you, have sheltered them from the wind and rain, allowing them to grow up without any worries. Now that the children are grown up, we can only protect them for a while, not forever. Even if they encounter setbacks, that is also a kind of growth."
Zhao Qinglan thought about it and agreed. Her daughter would get married and become a mother in the future, and she would experience many things she had never experienced before. Could she really help her with everything?
Children need to grow up on their own before they can stand on their own two feet.
Fearing that she would soften her heart if she knew her daughter's career was not going well, she had deliberately avoided asking about it before.
Fortunately, my daughter is excellent; she's already doing a great job.
The atmosphere at home changed every day after Sanwa and Xiaoduo came back. Li Huai wanted to go home as soon as possible after get off work every day.
A few days before the Lunar New Year, Da Wa arrived home with his wife and daughter, Er Wa and Yu Xiang, and their house became incredibly lively.
Little Jin'er is not even a year old, but she can already walk a few steps while holding onto the wall. She is fair-skinned and adorable, and has quickly become the darling of the family.
Children like Erwa and Xiaoduo, who had never met their niece before, are now even more enamored with the little one.
Even though the third child finds children scary and troublesome, he smiled more when he saw his adorable little niece.
If it weren't for the cold weather outside, Li Huai would have liked to take his granddaughter out for a spin.
Seeing how cute her niece was, Xiaoduo also started imagining what her future children with Zhou Yunting would look like.
Little Jin'er can only utter simple monosyllables like "Mom" and "Ah ah ah".
As a result, once they arrived at Grandpa's house, everyone who held her wanted to immediately teach the little one to call them.
The little guy gets sleepy more often now that he's listening to all sorts of advice from his elders every day.
It's not easy for Da Wa and his siblings to get together these days, and they have a lot to talk about.
Economy, people's livelihood, industry, national affairs, and so on.
Sometimes they agree on something, and sometimes they have disagreements that lead to various debates. In these situations, Zhao Qinglan never intervenes, but simply watches silently with a smile.
Although Yu Xiang and Erwa have not yet officially become family, everyone has already accepted her as a member of the family. At first, Yu Xiang was too embarrassed to join the conversation.
But since everyone was young, they were caught up in the atmosphere and gradually became lively and joined in.
Some people knew that Erwa had brought his partner back this year, so they asked Zhao Qinglan how many children she had and how she could hold such a wedding.
Zhao Qinglan simply said that the children could hold the event whenever they wanted, and then changed the subject.
If the two children are not ready to get married, pressuring them to get married too early will only backfire.
Erwa is only twenty-two years old now. Although Yu Xiang is a bit older, she is still young in Erwa's eyes.
Getting married means taking on the responsibilities of a family. If she had a choice, she would also prefer to enjoy a few more years of carefree and happy life while she is still young.
On New Year's Eve, as firecrackers went off one after another outside, her uncles and aunts took turns covering her little ears to prevent her from being frightened.
This year, a little one joined our family, making the New Year's atmosphere feel different from previous years.
Li Huai was going to visit the soldiers at the grassroots level. When he rushed home, he saw the warm yellow lights in his house and heard the laughter coming from inside. He entered the house with a smile on his face.
"Oh, my little Jin'er, let Grandpa hold you."
No matter how high his official rank was, at this moment, he was just a kind grandfather.
The family was able to reunite for the New Year, which made not only him and his wife happy, but also their children, who hadn't been this joyful in a long time.
As the New Year's Eve dinner began, the phone started ringing one after another at home.
Most of the calls were directed to Li Huai and Zhao Qinglan; Da Wa, Er Wa, and Xiao Duo also received several calls.
In the end, only Sanwa was left without anyone making a New Year's greeting call.
When Erwa asked bluntly, Sanwa replied lazily, "I didn't tell anyone our home phone number."
It's such a hassle to answer the phone even after I get home.
As for his mobile phone, it has naturally been turned off and abandoned these past few days.
Speaking of the phone call, Xiaoduo also told her family about the news she had received.
“Yun Ting told me before that there are already communication tools overseas that are much smaller than the big mobile phones, and they will probably enter the market soon.”
Zhao Qinglan was most interested in this.
"Once it's on the market, I'll buy a few right away. I'm tired of this bulky thing."
For those who have already used smartphones, using a traditional brick phone was pure torture.
If Zhao Qinglan hadn't been completely clueless about communications, she herself would have wanted to invest in and develop a smartphone ahead of time.
