Chapter 426: First time celebrating the New Year in Beijing

It was the first time for the Yu family to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, and the year was extremely lively.

Old Man Yu, his sons, and some of his older grandchildren all drank and then cried bitterly.

No matter what their ancestors said, the old Yu family, who had been making a living in the mountain village for generations, could now have their own house in the prosperous capital and live a stable and wealthy life in the capital.

Old Mrs. Liu felt both relieved and sad.

I was glad that he had a good eye and found a very good family for Ah Wu; but I was sad because I thought of his unfilial grandchildren...

Old Mrs. Liu sighed and couldn't help but reach out to touch the wine jug on the table.

A peanut flew across half the table and hit Old Lady Liu's hand. Old Lady Liu hissed in pain and retracted his hand.

The one who threw the peanuts was Da Xisipo at another table.

Her brows were hard and she said to Ah Wu in dissatisfaction, "Look at your old man! He just wanted to drink again! With his body, he might as well die instead of drinking! It would save me the trouble of formulating medicine and wasting my Xing Xing's money on buying herbs!"

Ah Wu immediately frowned and said in a coquettish voice, "Grandfather! What did I tell you?"

Old Lady Liu's face was full of wrinkles and she looked a little unhappy: "I haven't drunk it yet, have I?"

Ah Wu snorted coldly: "I saw it all! If Auntie Da Xi hadn't stopped you, you would have definitely drunk it secretly!"

Old Lady Liu's eyes wandered: "No, that can't be..."

Xu Ge'er walked over and climbed onto Old Lady Liu's lap: "Great Grandfather, hold Xu Ge'er in your arms. Xu Ge'er will eat with you."

Old Mrs. Liu immediately became cheerful and said yes in a loud voice.

After the whole family had a lively dinner, they lit a huge bonfire in the yard and stayed up together to celebrate the New Year.

The older boys in the family took the younger ones to play the horse riding game around the fire.

A few gentlemen gathered together and said that the soil in the farms near the capital was not as fertile as that in their village, but it was still possible to grow something.

The women drank the warming fruit wine while they gathered together in a lively atmosphere, chatting about their children and the future.

The firelight illuminated the faces of every member of the Yu family. Mrs. Wei smiled with anticipation and longing: "By this time next year, Huai'er's wife will be here too. Then the house will be even more lively."

Bai Xiaofeng covered her mouth and laughed: "In addition to Huai's daughter-in-law, you will have another fat grandson."

Mrs. Wei was surprised and asked, "You are pregnant?"

Bai Xiaofeng waved her hands: "Where is it me? It's..."

Everyone looked in the direction Bai Xiaofeng was looking and saw Li Chunhua's face. It was not known whether it was due to the burning of the fire or because of shame. It was all red. She was quite embarrassed and even covered her face: "Oh, you are the only one with a big mouth. I am so embarrassed!"

Mrs. Wei was surprised and delighted: "From the old lady? You are pregnant? How many months have you been pregnant?"

Li Chunhua blushed: "Mom..."

"Hahaha, look how smelly my sister-in-law is," Bai Xiaofeng laughed happily. "This morning, my sister-in-law and I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything else to prepare. My sister-in-law felt sick when she smelled the fishy smell. It happened that Grandma Da Xi was there, so she took my sister-in-law's pulse and she said that she has been pregnant for a month, almost two months."

Li Chunhua covered her face and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking. If the news of my pearl being carried by an old clam gets out, people will laugh at me to death."

Li Chunhua really felt embarrassed. Her daughter-in-law was going to get married in a few months, and she hadn't been pregnant for more than ten years, but she got pregnant this time!

Mother Wei frowned, "That's impossible. If this gets out, people will just envy us for how well we raised you. That's why you were able to get pregnant. This is a good thing!"

After a pause, Mrs. Wei was a little worried about Li Chunhua's health, and she hesitated, "But, now that she's older, having another child will be too taxing on her health..."

Mrs. Wei couldn't help but look at Mrs. Daxi.

Grandma Daxi was lying in a rocking chair next to the campfire, rocking in it, looking very leisurely, as if she knew Grandma Wei was watching her, and she continued leisurely, "Your eldest daughter-in-law is only thirty-five or thirty-six this year, and she is as strong as a bull. Just take care of this baby as usual, and there will be no problem if nothing unexpected happens."

When these words came out, Mrs. Wei was delighted and said "yes" three times in succession.

Mrs. Wei looked at Li Chunhua and smiled: "Then I'm relieved. You should take good care of yourself. Maybe you can give birth to a little girl this time!"

Li Chunhua touched her belly, her face burning, and she felt a little expectant.

Da Xi Si Po suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him: "Don't even think about it. I've seen that your eldest daughter-in-law is still giving birth to a boy this time."

The smile on Mrs. Wei's face froze for a moment: "...What, another boy?"

It's not that I can blame Mrs. Wei for being like this. Look at those brats running around the bonfire. There are already eight kids in the family, and Xing Xing is the only daughter...

One more, nine...

This is really a prosperous family.

Not to mention Mrs. Wei, even Li Chunhua felt a little disappointed when she touched her belly.

Bai Xiaofeng covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Alright, alright, I've seen that among our sisters-in-law, none of us are destined to be concubines. Isn't it said that Xingxing is a great benefactor of our Yu family? She is here to make up for the lack of concubines for us."

Li Chunhua felt somewhat relieved when she heard this: "That's right."

When Xing Xing is mentioned, everyone becomes cheerful.

Mrs. Wei remembered something again: "Old lady, the second lady said earlier that you were sick because of the smell of fish. Are you feeling better now?"

Li Chunhua smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandma Daxi gave me a prescription that worked very well. After I took it, I felt that the evil feeling disappeared immediately. You see, I ate quite a bit tonight."

Bai Xiaofeng said with great experience: "But you have to control the amount you eat. If you eat too much and your belly is too big, you will suffer when you give birth."

Xing Xing swore solemnly: "Don't worry, I will check my aunt's pulse every now and then, and I won't let her suffer!"

Everyone laughed.

Several people started discussing things to pay attention to during pregnancy.

However, Ah Wu touched his belly, and when no one was paying attention, he secretly went to look for Yu Siyang.

She hooked her arms around Yu Siyang's neck, leaned into his arms, and whispered, "Siyang, Xu Ge'er has grown up, shall we give him a younger brother?"

Yu Siyang had drunk a lot of wine with his brothers. When he heard this, his breathing became hot. He just picked up Ah Wu and walked into the house: "Okay, let's go... let's go give birth now!"

The young couple left in a sticky manner.

No one cares about Xu Ge'er.
