Chapter 419 Chinese New Year
Under Fu Weihao's earnest pleading, Liu Wanru and Song Cenyue promised him not to inform Fu Zhongkun, but asked him to listen to them in the future.
As for the jewelry that Liu Wanru gave to Song Cenyue, Song Cenyue finally accepted all of it. No matter what she said, Liu Wanru refused to take some of it back and insisted on leaving all of it to her.
She couldn't refuse such a kind offer, so she had no choice but to accept it all.
As New Year's Eve gets closer, the festive atmosphere becomes more and more intense. The Fu family has already prepared New Year's goods. With still a month to go before the New Year, a lot of people have come to send New Year's goods to Fu Zhongkun and his wife.
Whether it is food, daily necessities, or wedding characters, spring couplets, and firecrackers, there are too many to count.
Fu Zhongkun's status and position are there, and every year a large number of people come to give him New Year's goods, and people often come to give him gifts on other days.
Because there was no need to prepare New Year's goods, even though New Year's Eve was getting closer, Liu Wanru and Song Cenyue had nothing to do and were quite idle. Liu Wanru took her husband and Song Cenyue to travel all over Beijing, and Fu Weihao naturally accompanied them. Now it was a rare opportunity that he didn't have to go to work and could always be with his beloved wife. He was reluctant to leave her even a step away.
Song Cenyue had a particularly good time these days. She felt extremely happy every day and had a smile on her face all the time.
In a blink of an eye, the long-awaited New Year's Eve has finally arrived. When night falls and the lights come on, the whole capital city is boiling, with the sound of firecrackers and joy everywhere.
The Fu family's house was also a joyous scene. Big festive red lanterns were hung high on both sides of the gate, brightly colored spring couplets and the word "Fu" were posted on the door, and many delicate and beautiful window paper-cuts were pasted on the windows.
Inside the house, the Fu family was busy preparing a reunion dinner. Although the Fu family had servants, quite a few of them, Liu Wanru said that she had to prepare this New Year's reunion dinner herself, and she sent the servants away early, asking them to go home to celebrate the New Year and reunite with their families.
In the living room, Fu Zhongkun and Fu Weihao were eating melon seeds, candies, and chatting and laughing.
Liu Wanru and Song Cenyue were busy in the kitchen. All that could be heard was the sound of spatulas colliding, the tempting aroma of food, and the conversation and laughter of Liu Wanru and Song Cenyue, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The father and son of the Fu family were chatting and laughing outside, while the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fu family were cooking and chatting happily in the kitchen.
"Okay, all the dishes are ready. Lao Fu, Xiao Hao, the two of you come and help serve the dishes!" Liu Wanru looked towards the kitchen door and shouted towards the living room outside.
The father and son originally wanted to help prepare the reunion dinner and assist the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she was afraid that the father and son would make things more troublesome and more detrimental to them, so she did not agree.
Last time when they were making dumplings, she realized that her husband was not good at cooking and was not even very good at helping out. And her son would stick to his daughter-in-law and would not concentrate on helping out, so it was better not to have them help.
She and her daughter-in-law cook, and it's quite enjoyable.
My daughter-in-law is efficient and a good cook.
Fu Weihao and his father in the living room heard Liu Wanru's call and immediately ran to the kitchen to help, bringing one delicious dish after another to the table.
When all the dishes were served and filled to the brim, Fu Weihao looked at the large table of fragrant dishes and couldn't help but exclaimed, "There are so many dishes! And they all smell so good!"
"Look how greedy you are!" Song Cenyue teased.
"Hurry up and set off the firecrackers. Then you can come over for dinner." Liu Wanru patted her son on the back.
"Dad, let's go set off firecrackers together." Fu Weihao looked at his father.
Fu Zhongkun smiled and nodded, and the father and son went to get the firecrackers and went out. Soon, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside the door, and Liu Wanru and Song Cenyue in the room raised the corners of their lips at the same time.
The Fu family father and son came back soon after setting off firecrackers, and the family sat down and started eating.
Liu Wanru poured a glass of Moutai for the family of four, then raised the glass and said with a smile: "This year's New Year is the happiest I've had in all these years, because we have Xiaoyue, a lovely baby! Come, Xiaoyue, let me toast you."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched the little hand of her daughter-in-law who was sitting next to her.
"Me too!" Fu Zhongkun nodded and smiled. "Xiaoyue, welcome to join our family and become a part of our family. You make our family more festive and happy than ever before. Come on, Dad, let me toast you!"
Like his wife, he raised his glass to his daughter-in-law.
Song Cenyue quickly raised her glass and clinked it with her father-in-law and mother-in-law, then said, "I feel so lucky to be able to join this family and have such good parents like you. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being so kind to me. I wish you good health and a long life!"
After saying that, she raised her glass and took a big sip.
"Thank you. We would also like to wish you and Xiaohao good health, all the best, smooth work, a better career, and a prosperous business." Fu Zhongkun and Liu Wanru said in unison in tacit understanding.
"Thank you, Dad and Mom!" Song Cenyue and Fu Weihao thanked them together. Fu Weihao also raised his glass and clinked it with his parents'. He said some auspicious words, wishing the two elders good health, longevity and all the best, and then drank a large glass of wine.
Fu Zhongkun and Liu Wanru also raised their glasses and happily took a big sip of wine.
"Okay, eat, eat!" Liu Wanru put down the wine and food, picked up the chopsticks and greeted people.
The Fu family members picked up their chopsticks and started eating the dishes. The dishes tasted very good. Fu Zhongkun and Fu Weihao, father and son, praised the dishes highly and kept praising Liu Wanru and Song Cenyue, making the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laugh with joy.
After the family of four took a few bites of the food, they drank a little wine, raised their glasses together, and wished each other well again. The whole family was filled with strong family affection and warmth, and everyone's heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.
After the meal, Fu Zhongkun and his wife took out red envelopes and gave them to Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue.
"This is the New Year's money for you two!"
Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue were both a little surprised when they received the red envelopes.
"Why is there still New Year's money? I won't have it when I grow up." Fu Weihao shouted.
Song Cenyue also wondered why there was New Year's money. New Year's money was only given to children, and she and her husband were both adults.
"You can get this New Year's money thanks to your wife. I gave it to you because I wanted to give her New Year's money. You should know how to thank your wife, don't you know?" Liu Wanru said with a smile.
She had previously discussed with her husband that she would give her daughter-in-law New Year's money when she spent the first New Year at their home. Her husband agreed and thought it was a good idea.
Since she was going to give her daughter-in-law New Year's money, she must also give her son some, so she and her husband each prepared two red envelopes.
"It turns out that I am benefiting from my wife! Thank you, wife, it is thanks to you that I can get the New Year's money!" Fu Weihao immediately reached out to hug Song Cenyue, grinning with gratitude on his face.
Song Cenyue's face flashed with shyness, and she quickly reached out to push him away. "What are you doing? Mom and Dad are watching us!" What a shameless guy!
"It's okay, just pretend we don't exist." Liu Wanru waved her hand and smiled.
Fu Zhongkun also raised the corner of his lips and nodded.
Seeing her parents-in-law like that, Song Cenyue felt even more embarrassed, and her face turned red.
"Xiaoyue, you're shy, hahaha..." Liu Wanru pointed at her daughter-in-law's face and laughed, looking happy.
Fu Zhongkun and Fu Weihao also laughed, making Song Cenyue's face even redder.
Today, the Fu family is also full of laughter. In the laughter, the Fu family welcomes the new year together. I believe that the Fu family will also spend the new year in laughter, and it will be a happy and joyful year...
