Chapter 781: Chapter 781: The Happiness We Want - Part Four

Zhu Qianying and Yan’s second child formally arrived in this world three days before the expected delivery date.

And this day is Chinese New Year’s Day.

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, the family, like last year, spent the night in the small hut by the lake.

Unlike last year, this year, Chen Jing, who had followed Luo Yifan to R City for the New Year, was absent, and Zhu Qianying’s tummy was carrying an extra baby.

The little boy had grown another year older. As soon as everyone sat down, he consciously went into the house and fetched some cushions. Zhu Qianying was the first to receive.

"Mommy, cushion your back quickly, you shouldn’t be uncomfortable."

Zhu Qianying smiled and pinched his face, "Thank you, my warm little man!"

Just as she was about to take it, Yan had already stretched out his hand to take the pad, helping her put it behind her back.

Yan and the little boy, especially in the late stages of Zhu Qianying’s pregnancy, increasingly paid close attention and took care of her meticulously, just like now.

Over there, the old lady took over the cushion, but stood up and stared at Zhu Qianying, admonishing.

"Ying’er, it’s only three or four days until your due date, you have to be extra vigilant. If there is any discomfort, you must speak up immediately".

"Mom, I will."

Zhu Qianying was not pregnant for the first time, and she was very clear about many details to be aware of.

But regarding the occasional nagging and instructions from the Yan family from top to bottom, she responded politely to all of them.

As Zhu Qianying chatted with the old lady and Yan Bo, she held Yan’s hand, fearing the son would feel bored, "You two, go to the lakeside to set off the fireworks and the firecrackers!"

If it was usual, Zhu Qianying would definitely join the two grandpas, but now her body was inconvenienced in many ways. Besides, even if she said she wanted to go with them, the few members of the Yan family would certainly not let her have her way.

Yan looked at her with concern, "Can you take care of yourself sitting here?"

Obviously, he was worried about boring his son, but at the same time, he was afraid of boring Zhu Qianying.

"I’ll chat with mom about child-rearing experiences, you two go and play."

In the end, even Yan Bo also ran to set off the fireworks.

The old lady and Zhu Qianying sit there chatting, their eyes, however, were focused on the three men and a boy from the Yan family who were setting off the fireworks in front.

"Old Ye hasn’t played this way in a long time..." said the old lady with a sense of sentimentality.

"Didn’t dad like to play when he was young?"

Zhu Qianying has always thought that Yan Bo should have been like he is now when he was young, gentle and elegant. Saying he was playful, only Yan could make people believe it.

"There were times when he was wild too, but I didn’t know at that time..."

The old lady’s eyes were glued to Yan Bo all along. Although she had already been married for more than forty years, the look in her eyes when she looked at him was still stuck.

Zhu Qianying admittedly thinks her current relationship with Yan is very good and inseparable. But she couldn’t be sure whether she and Yan would be as deeply in love as the old couple when they were in their sixties or seventies.

So when she heard the old lady’s answer, she was very surprised, "Mom, is what you’re saying true?"

She hadn’t even thought about it carefully. Asking such a question was a little improper.

"Silly girl, are you thinking something inappropriate?"

The old lady looked at her with a smile, "What I mean by playing hard is simple play, not those chaotic and disorderly conducts!"

Zhu Qianying breathed a sigh of relief in secret once she understood the meaning.

Just a moment ago, Yan Bo’s grand image almost collapsed.

"To be honest, the children of the Yan family, whether they appear mature or arrogant or gentle, that righteousness and integrity deep in their bones can’t be worn away no matter what!"

Zhu Qianying also agreed with the old lady’s comment.

Just take the little boy as an example.

In the past, Zhu Qianying always thought that the children of wealthy families were mostly dandies.

But now, she could only say that such dandies are more likely to appear in nouveau riche families. In old families like the Yan family with deep roots and substantial heritage, the discipline on the children is mostly very strict.

"Your father, because of me, lost a lot. Those years were not easy for me either. The family was already not peaceful, and his father intentionally caused me troubles from time to time. If it weren’t for your father’s temper being so tolerant, we wouldn’t have been able to reach the end."

Neither Yan Bo nor the old lady were the kind of old people who liked to boast about their past achievements. So, many of their past stories were pieced together from casual chats that occasionally slipped out.

"In terms of stubbornness, Xiao Han is just like his dad."

The old lady’s comment naturally referred to Yan’s stubbornness and persistence over the past few years.

"Mom, I’m sorry!"

In this matter, Zhu Qianying doesn’t feel that she has done anything wrong, nor does she feel guilty towards Yan. However, she knew that the two old men were not getting any younger, and yet they had been worrying about Yan and her all the time. So, she did feel a little guilty towards the old men.

"Silly girl, don’t say this again. We all understand who is right and who is wrong. Anyway, live a good life in the future. A person’s life is just a few decades long, try to have less trouble and cherish more."

"Yes, we will!"

As the two of them were still chatting, the little boy was frightened by a firecracker that had been lit and kept spinning after him. The frightening sight of him tumbling and shouting by the lake while Yan and Yan Bo laughed made Zhu Qianying and the old lady laugh from a distance.

Affectionate chatter and laughter quickly brought them to the countdown moment. The three generations blew out the candles for the firecrackers and ran back under the eaves.

"It’s fun!" The agile little boy climbed onto the platform, "Mommy, will my sister be able to walk by this time next year?"

Zhu Qianying thought about it and nodded, "Yes, Baby will be turning one year old then. Normally, she will be able to walk!"

The little boy learned to walk when he was nine months old, a little earlier than speaking. Presumably, Baby would be the same as her brother.

"Then next year I’ll set off such beautiful fireworks for my sister!"

With full anticipation on his face, the little boy climbed, sat down next to her using both his hands and feet.

Yan also sat down, like most times, with a stretch of his long arm, he easily hugged his wife and son into his arms.

In front of the five of them was a laptop that was playing the Spring Festival Gala all along. The volume was low though, but now seeing that the time was almost up, Yan turned it to the maximum volume. Alongside the scene of the hosts and performers congregating on stage, the countdown started.

"Ten...nine...eight...three...two...one! Happy New Year!"

As soon as the host’s voice fell on the screen, Yan’s lips fell on Zhu Qianying’s lips, with a bit of chill from the winter wind, gently rubbing on her lips a few times, "Baby, Happy New Year!"

Zhu Qianying kissed him back, "Husband, Happy New Year!"

Then, they kissed their little boy on his lifted up face looking at them, "Little Baby, Happy New Year!"
