“Sister-in-law, it’s your turn to treat us to breakfast!”

Liuli said straightforwardly, “Why don’t 1 take care of dinner?”

Tang Moxi turned to Liuli and smiled, asking, “Are you confident you can handle it?”

“Don’t 1 still have you?” Liuli replied, holding Tang Moxi’s hand shamelessly.

“Well then, we’ll be in charge of dinner!” Liuli said, with a mischievous smile.

Tang Moxi chuckled, “I was the last one to bed last night!”

“I don’t mind. You’re my husband!” Liuli blushed.

Changing the subject, she said, “I’ll go get the bowls and chopsticks!”

Her words immediately brought laughter from everyone.

Liuli blushed once again.

The family enjoyed a simple breakfast of porridge, sunny-side-up eggs, and sandwiches with milk.

Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi had been living overseas for many years, so they were more accustomed to Western cuisine.

Although they had some knowledge of Chinese food, it wasn’t extensive.

Preparing breakfast like this wasn’t easy.

“Grandpa, let me serve you more!” Liuli picked up a poached egg for Grandpa Tang.

“You should eat more too!” Tang Sheng smiled.

“Yes, 1 want to eat until I’m plump!” Liuli self-deprecatingly remarked.

“After 1 recover, 1 can give birth to a chubby baby!” Tang Yunxi added.

Liu Li nearly choked on her sandwich in astonishment.

She immediately looked at Tang Yun with tears in her eyes.

How could he frighten her like that?!

“Could it be that you have a preference for a specific gender?” Tang Yunxi continued.

No!”

“I knew it. Women usually favor their sons, while men usually favor their daughters!”

“Um…” Liuli was at a loss for words. No matter how much she explained, the situation would only worsen.

It was better for her to keep her head down and focus on eating. It was more practical not to interrupt.

“We can have both a son and a daughter!” Tang Moxi smiled at Liuli and added.

Liuli almost bumped her head on her bowl!

Your joke is so cruel, man!

After breakfast, she exchanged some auspicious words with Grandpa before Liuli and Tang Moxi returned to the Yu family’s residence.

Meanwhile, Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi took Grandpa out shopping.

In the city, there was a festive atmosphere with many unmarried people. Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi drove Grandpa to the outskirts to enjoy the scenery.

Tang Moxi and Liuli arrived at the Yu family’s residence.

Liuli stepped out of the car and hurriedly entered the house, calling out to her parents and Grandma!

“Liuli, you’re back!”

“Grandma, Happy New Year. I hope you’re in good health. Dad, Happy New Year. May prosperity come your way. Mom, Happy New Year. You look younger with each passing year!” Liuli spoke sweetly.

The underlying meaning was: Have you prepared red envelopes?

“Where’s Jingxing?”

“Oh, 1 almost forgot. We bought two bags of oranges, and they’re still in the car!” Liuli suddenly remembered and turned to walk back outside.

Tang Moxi had already taken two pots of oranges out of the car.

Yu Zhiyuan also walked out.

“Dad, Happy New Year!” Tang Moxi greeted.

“Happy New Year, Jingxing. Liuli, let me carry this pot!” Yu Zhiyuan interrupted his daughter and bent down to pick up the orange. “This orange looks good!”

“Dad, let me tell you. Brother Moxi made a detour to his friend’s place just to buy this.”

“It’ll be a pleasant sight for the next few days, and then we can pluck and eat them at the same time.”

“This orange is delicious and won’t go to waste!” Liuli tried her best to flatter him.

“It’s edible?” Yu Zhiyuan showed some interest.

“Of course. Otherwise, Brother Moxi and 1 wouldn’t have gone through the trouble to get them.”

“Dad, oranges bring good luck!” Tang Moxi explained with a smile.

“Good, good, may we have good luck!”

“Grandma, Happy New Year. Mom, Happy New Year!” Tang Moxi greeted as he entered the house.

He placed the two pots of oranges in the living room and arranged them nicely.

They were golden and looked wonderful.

“Jingxing, Happy New Year! It’s good that you’re here. Why did you go shopping again? We’re going home, not somewhere else,” Lin Yu greeted him.

“Mom, these are edible oranges!” Liuli bragged again.

“Aren’t they sour?”

“It’s incredibly sweet. I tried it. It’s really sweet!” Liuli responded.

“That’s great. You can enjoy watching them and eating them!” Lin Yu replied.

She then invited Tang Moxi to sit down while Liuli snuggled up next to Grandma.

Liuli took an orange and began peeling it.

“This one is for Grandma! You and Jingxing can each have two packets!” Grandma Yu took out a red envelope from her pocket and distributed them to Liuli and Tang Moxi.

“Thank you, Grandma. Brother Moxi, why do you have one too?” Liuli asked, smiling.

“If you have one, so does Jingxing!” Grandma Yu replied, smiling back.

“Thank you, Grandma!” Tang Moxi accepted it graciously.

“These are for Mom and Dad!” Lin Yu smiled and took out two red envelopes from her pocket.

“Thank you, Daddy and Mommy!” Liuli happily accepted them.

Then she turned to look at Mr. Tang, holding the red envelope in her hand. She couldn’t help but feel like laughing again.

She imagined how a man, or rather, an elderly man, would receive a red envelope!

The scene seemed quite comical!

Tang Moxi glanced at her and calmly placed the red envelope into his suit pocket.

Liuli thought to herself that the expert truly was an expert. He remained composed even when receiving red envelopes!

Tang Moxi brewed tea while everyone sat around, sipping tea and chatting. Liuli remained by Grandma’s side, sharing stories about how they celebrated the New Year’s Eve.

They discussed the preparations for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

When they mentioned the red-braised pork Liuli had cooked the night before, it turned out that she had used too much soy sauce, resulting in the pork turning black.

Grandma chuckled upon hearing that, while her mom shook her head in amusement.

“Nevertheless, Grandpa Tang still praised my red-braised pork as delicious!” Liuli proudly declared.

“Your Grandpa Tang doesn’t want to dampen your enthusiasm and self-esteem.”

“And yet, you still get so proud!” Lin Yu remarked.

“That’s not true. If you don’t believe me, ask Brother Moxi if it’s delicious!” Liuli turned to Tang Moxi and asked, “Brother Moxi, do you think my red-braised pork is delicious?”

“Not bad! Despite its appearance, the taste is actually quite good!” Tang Moxi replied with a smile.

“See, 1 did a good job!”

“Jingxing doesn’t want to disappoint you!

“Um…”

Tears welled up in Liuli’s eyes.

Mom, you really are my biological mother!

Afterwards, visitors came by from time to time, keeping the house lively.

Liuli, her mom, and Grandma busied themselves in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous lunch.

This would be their family’s first reunion meal for the New Year!

Grandma also pitched in to help gather the necessary seasonings.

Liuli assisted in washing the vegetables while her mom took charge of cooking.

“Liuli, how is Grandpa Tang’s health now? 1 didn’t get a chance to ask when Jingxing was here earlier!” Lin Yu inquired as she washed the pot.

She was afraid that asking in front of Jingxing might make him feel sad.

“He’s doing pretty well!” Liuli looked up and answered, then smiled at Grandma.

“That’s great. The doctor was concerned that Grandpa Tang might not make it past the new year!” Lin Yu replied with a smile.

It’s the new year now, and 1 believe Grandpa Tang will keep getting better every day,” Liuli said, tilting her head.

“Yes! It seems that your marriage with Jingxing has indeed lifted Grandpa Tang’s spirits and improved his health,” Lin Yu said, feeling relieved.

Previously, when she learned that her daughter was going to marry into the Tang family, she would stay up all night worrying.

After all, Liuli was still young, and her marriage had been decided so suddenly. Lin Yu didn’t know what the future held for her daughter.

But seeing how well Liuli was getting along with Jingxing, and how Uncle Tang’s health had improved, she felt a sense of relief.

Liuli nodded and smiled.

After lunch, Liuli and Tang Moxi headed back home.

During the journey, Liuli couldn’t help but ask Tang Moxi once again if she could attend the class reunion.

Tang Moxi turned to look at her and replied, “From 3:00 to 5:00?”

“Yes!” Liuli sat up straight and answered.

Thinking that Tang Moxi was confirming the details with her, she eagerly agreed.

“Alright, 1’11 take you there in the afternoon!”

“Thank you, Tang Moxi!”

Tang Moxi turned towards her and gave her a glance.

“No, thank you, Brother Moxi. You’re the best!” Liuli quickly complimented him.

After returning to the Tang family’s house, Liuli took some time to rest and woke up at two o’clock. Once she was ready, she could head to the class reunion.

She didn’t forget to call Lin Jingqi and inform her that they would meet at the entrance in the afternoon.

After the call, Liuli took a short nap.

Unfortunately, she forgot to set an alarm, and it was Tang Moxi who woke her

up.

Realizing the time, Liuli hurriedly rushed into the bathroom to freshen up.

She changed into a new outfit, but Mr. Tang suggested that she wear a pantsuit instead.

Liuli had no choice but to change back into pants.

She wondered why Mr. Tang was being so particular.

As they got into the car, Liuli couldn’t help but ask Tang Moxi with a smile, “Brother Moxi, are you worried that I’ll attract too much attention at the class reunion if 1 dress too beautifully?”

She wanted to see if Tang Moxi would feel jealous.

At the last moment, she changed her wording.

“You’re overthinking it!” Tang Moxi replied calmly.

“Uh…” Was she overthinking things?

“If you wear a dress in this weather and participate in any outdoor activities, won’t you feel cold?” Tang Moxi added.

“Oh, that’s true. Brother Moxi, you’re so considerate!” Liuli replied with a smile.

As the car approached the restaurant entrance, Liuli quickly exclaimed, “Just stop here, Brother Moxi.”

“1 won’t drive you all the way to the entrance!”

No, it’s alright. 1’11 walk over. It’s not convenient to turn around in front!” Liuli came up with a feeble excuse.

In reality, there was no need to turn around at all. They could simply go around from another intersection.

Tang Moxi didn’t directly point out Liuli’s excuse.

Instead, he parked the car in the temporary parking area and turned to ask, “I have my cellphone and wallet with me.”

“Both!” Liuli checked her bag and replied.

1’11 pick you up at 5:00!”

“Alright, thank you, Brother Moxi. I’ll get off here.” Liuli nodded.

“Mm, have a good time!” Tang Moxi nodded.

Liuli bid Mr. Tang farewell with a smile and stepped out of the car.

After alighting, she waved once more and made her way towards the Sichuan Cuisine restaurant.

“Liuli, Liuli…”

Liuli heard Lin Jingqi’s familiar gentle voice and immediately looked up..
