“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, “1 was the last one to bed last night!”
“I don’t mind. You’re my husband!” Liuli blushed.
Changing the subject, she said, ‘Til 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. 1 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. 1 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!
