Before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year.
This year is Xiaoruanruan's first New Year back home, and Su Lei and Su Xixi have joined the family.
My maternal grandparents, uncles and aunts, and cousins will also come to our house for the Chinese New Year.
Therefore, the four Su brothers, who used to only come back for a New Year's Eve dinner before leaving, all turned down their work on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month this year and went home to prepare for the New Year.
Su Xiaowu was extremely excited after receiving his final exam results, because it was the first time since he started elementary school that he had not been punished after taking an exam. In fact, because he scored over 40 points in the three main subjects of Chinese, Mathematics and English, the tyrant even praised him.
He also told the tyrant on the spot that he would definitely pass the final exam next semester.
He even proactively sought Su Lei's help to create a study plan for the winter break.
Right now, Su Xiaowu is preparing his favorite New Year's treat—fireworks—with Xiao Ruanruan and Su Qianqian.
Su Xiaowu had already prepared all the fireworks and firecrackers a week before the New Year. At this moment, he was leading Su Xixi and Xiao Ruanruan to move his treasures out of the basement.
Little Ruanruan was wearing a red down jacket with two hand-embroidered white rabbits on it, making her look exceptionally cute and adorable. Combined with a red scarf and a little hat, the little girl ran on the white snow in the manor, adding a touch of joy to the manor.
Little Ruanruan built a big snowman with her older brother and sister. She took off the red scarf from her neck and wrapped it around the snowman. She then went to the kitchen and got a carrot to make the snowman's nose, and two longan pits to make the snowman's eyes.
After the snowman was finished, Su Xiaowu suddenly put her icy hands into Xiao Ruanruan's neck. Xiao Ruanruan screamed from the cold, but her face was beaming with a bright smile she had never seen before.
Little Ruanruan picked up a small snowball and threw it at the little boy. Soon, Su Xixi joined their battle.
Even Su Lei couldn't resist the temptation and soon joined in.
A burst of joyful laughter echoed through the white courtyard.
Su Yiqing, Su Ziyuan, Su Yifan, Su Yan, and the eight brothers of the Xiao family all stood at the edge of the snow, watching the four happy little figures in the snow.
Little Ruanruan looked at the twelve older brothers standing to the side, blinked her beautiful big black grape-like eyes, and called over her older sister, her little brother, and Brother Su Lei.
After whispering a few words to each other, the four little heads simultaneously grabbed a snowball from the ground and threw it at their older brothers standing nearby.
The four Su brothers and the eight Xiao brothers were forced to join the battle.
As a result, Aunt Fang Ning, who is naturally childlike, and her uncle returned from visiting friends outside and saw this scene, and immediately went over to play with Xiao Ruanruan and the others.
Uncle Xiao Shijie walked through a group of playful children and stood in front of his maternal grandparents who were standing at the living room door watching everyone. "Dad, Mom, Aning and I have already delivered the gifts from those uncles and aunts."
"Okay!" Grandma nodded, but her gaze never left the yard.
Hearing the laughter and chatter in the yard, Grandma's eyes welled up with tears. She wiped them away and said, "Since your sister and brother-in-law left, the house has never been this lively."
Little Softie is back! That's great!
It's a pity your sister and brother-in-law will never see this again..."
Grandma's voice choked as she spoke.
Grandpa quickly hugged her tightly, his voice full of affection despite his scolding, "Old woman, why are you crying again? It's the New Year, it wouldn't be good if the children saw you like that."
As he spoke, Grandpa gently wiped away Grandma's tears.
After playing until she was tired, Little Ruanruan pulled her older brother aside, her bright, starry eyes looking at him. "Big brother, is Sister Mo'er coming back to our house for the New Year?"
With Xiao Ruanruan wearing a hat, Su Yiqing couldn't ruffle her hair anymore, so she squatted down, pinched her little face, and gently replied with a smile, "Yes!"
Little Ruanruan subconsciously put her thumbnail in her mouth and bit it, asking in a small, indistinct voice, "Can I invite the three grandfathers and Brother Gu Chen to come to our house for the New Year?"
Xiao Ruanruan's words were too vague, and Su Yiqing didn't understand at first. After she understood, she was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Ruanruan with a smile, and asked in return, "The three grandfathers will definitely be invited to come for the New Year. As for your brother Gu Chen, if your older brother doesn't agree, will you not let him come for the New Year?"
Little Ruanruan looked at Su Yiqing very seriously and nodded, saying in a soft voice, "Well, if big brother doesn't agree, then I won't invite Brother Gu Chen to celebrate the New Year."
Su Yiqing gently tapped Xiao Ruanruan's little nose, "Xiao Ruanruan, don't you know your brother Gu Chen? He won't come if you don't invite him?"
"Hehe!" Little Ruanruan smiled sweetly, her beautiful big eyes curving into two little crescent moons.
Su Yiqing pinched her cheek again with a look of helpless affection, "You!"
Given Gu Chen's persistent and clingy nature, he would come on his own without being invited.
Does he really think he can just kick people out during the Lunar New Year?
After feeling helpless, Su Yiqing said to Xiao Ruanruan, "Go and call your older sister over too. Your older brother has something he'd like to ask you for help with."
Little Ruanruan blinked her beautiful big eyes at her older brother, and soon caught a hint of shyness in his eyes, as well as a little blush at the base of his ears. Little Ruanruan's eyes lit up instantly.
Looks like there's good news at home again.
She turned around excitedly and ran towards her older sister, Sisi, with her little feet twirling.
Su Qianqian, who was having a great time throwing snowballs at Su Xiaowu, had her eyes light up instantly after Xiao Ruanruan pulled her over and whispered something in her ear. "Really?"
Little Softie nodded.
Susie quickly patted the snowflakes off her hands. "Let's go, let's hurry up and help our older brother with his important business."
Su Xiaowu suddenly lost his target and looked at Xiao Ruanruan and Su Qianqian with a blank expression, "Ruanruan, Qianqian, where are you going!"
Su Xixi and Xiao Ruanruan waved to Su Xiaowu, leaving him with two dashing little backs. "Little brother, you can play by yourself. We have important things to do."
"What important business could two little brats possibly have?" Su Xiaowu scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"Bang!" Xiao Jue picked up a snowball and threw it at Su Xiaowu.
Su Xiaowu instantly forgot about the two girls, Su Qianqian and Xiao Ruanruan, and turned back to throw snowballs at Xiao Jue and Xiao Genggeng.
