She nodded affectionately at Erbao’s little nose and said with a smile, “Is Erbao laughing at your little uncle for playing tricks too?”
In response, Erbao laughed merrily.
And Little Treasure had no sense of what was happening around him, sitting intently beside the coffee table, preparing New Year’s greeting cards.
He intended to give one to each member of the family.
Later in the evening, the chef of the old house cooked a big, hearty meal and the New Year’s Eve dinner was officially opened.
The family sat around the table, talking and laughing.
The old man looked around the room and felt nothing but relief.
The old mansion had not been this lively for a long time.
After the meal, the old man was red-faced from the wine he had drunk, but was extraordinarily happy.
He sat down on the sofa and waved at Xiao Bao’er and Wen Shiyu, “You came over.”
“Grandpa Zeng.”
Little Bao’er hugged the old man’s thighs affectionately.
Wen Shiyu hugged Erbao and was a little suspicious, “What’s wrong with grandpa?”
“Nothing, it’s just you guys giving out red packets.”
The old man said, taking out three red envelopes and handing them to Little Treasure, Erbao and Wen Shiyu respectively.
Of course, Erbao’s share was still for Wen Shiyu to take.
Wen Shiyu was a little surprised, not expecting that she would also get a red envelope.
“Thank you, grandpa.”
She smiled sweetly at the old man.
At this time, Feng Shenjin came over with a live treasure, “Grandpa, happy new year, bring the red envelope.”
“You don’t even have a daughter-in-law, do you deserve a red packet?
The old man waved his hand to drive people away.
The others laughed out loud straight away.
Little Bao’er was also smart enough to take the red envelope in his hand and trotted over towards Feng Shenjin.
Of course Feng Shenjin saw the little one’s actions and revealed a pleased smile, “It’s still our Bao’er who is thoughtful and understanding, he knows that little uncle is having a hard time and brought his red envelope to comfort me.”
“Little Uncle, I’m not giving you a red packet, I’m here to pay my respects to you.”
Little Bao’er finished with a straight face, then clasped his hands and started to pay his respects, “Happy New Year Little Uncle, I hope you find me a pretty little aunt back next year, well, bring me the red packet, and my brother’s, Little Uncle can’t forget.”
When these words came out, the living room burst into laughter again.
Feng Shenjin was also in tears.
In this way, everyone paid their respects to each other and gave gifts.
After a round, Little Bao’er and Second Bao were the richest.
Everyone had prepared red envelopes and gifts for them.
After the New Year’s greeting, the family sat in the living room and had a good time.
At this time, the old man suddenly asked about Wen Shiyu going abroad, “I heard that you have plans to go abroad after the New Year?”
Wen Shiyu froze, nodded gently, and, somewhat worried that the old man would not approve, explained cautiously.
“Teacher wants me to be a special guest of the second orchestra, so that I can rub shoulders with the orchestra members and get familiar with them, so that I can be in charge of this piece when I return in the future.”
When she finished, she looked at the old man with some apprehension.
As if he didn’t see the nervousness in her eyes, the old master nodded with his smile still on his face, “Not bad, not bad, making it to the position of leader in such a short time is proof enough of your ability, as for the children, you don’t need to worry about them, although Erbao is still young, there is someone at home to help watch the crying, you just develop your career without worry.”
