The headband had a sign that read, "Welcome Qingqing and Auntie home."
Fan Qing laughed so hard she could barely stand up straight. "Hahaha, Yueyue, how can you be so creative?"
Lin Tingyue blinked, wearing the headband, looking incredibly cute. She said, "I learned it online."
Fan Qing reached out and gently rubbed Lin Tingyue's face.
Fan Qing walked too fast, and Feng Shuiyun didn't keep up. It was only now that she reached Fan Qing and Lin Tingyue's side that she smiled and said, " Tingyue, thank you for coming to pick me and Qingqing up."
"Auntie, you're too kind. It's nothing I should do."
"Come on, come on, I can't wait to share this with you, and I want to show you the gift."
Lin Tingyue smiled and said, "Okay."
After putting her luggage in the trunk, Lin Tingyue prepared to drive away when Fan Qing, in the passenger seat, suddenly tugged at her arm.
Lin Tingyue asked, " Qingqing, what's wrong?"
" Yueyue, that's the person."
Lin Tingyue looked in the direction Fan Qing was pointing and saw a man carrying a hiking backpack and wearing a black down jacket.
" Qingqing, do you know that person?"
"I don't know him, but he's very into it; he started watching porn as soon as the plane landed."
"Short films?"
Is this the kind of short film I'm looking for?
Fan Qing nodded vigorously, "The scene is too beautiful for me to look at closely, but I can confirm it."
"You're so brave."
Fan Qing raised her chin. "That's right."
Who are these people? They can't even stand being on a two-hour flight?
[I told him that even though he was about to go back home, his wife and lover were still having an affair.]
Fan Qing's face was blank, so...
[However, they probably didn't expect that someone would install a surveillance camera in their bedroom.]
Fan Qing realized that the person must have been looking at the security camera footage.
Fan Qing suddenly sat up straight, bowed slightly in the direction the man had left, and Lin Tingyue asked with amusement, " Qingqing, what are you doing?"
Fan Qing clasped his hands together and said, "I repent."
Lin Tingyue chuckled. Fan Qing slapped her, but she still couldn't help it; it was really funny!
"Sigh," Fan Qing said, lowering her head and frowning, deeply moved, "The prejudices in people's hearts are a mountain."
"There may be no mountains, but there might be mountains of delicious food. My mom has prepared lots of your and Auntie's favorite dishes."
Fan Qing, who had just been taking a profound approach, asked with Xingxing eyes, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Feng Shuiyun, who was behind her, also said, " Tingyue, you've gone to so much trouble for your mother."
"How could that be? Qingqing is my best friend, you're all my family."
"Exactly," Fan Qing nodded in agreement, "It's only right to go home for dinner."
"You silly child."
Feng Shuiyun gently nudged Fan Qing's back. Seeing how well the two children were getting along, Feng Shuiyun felt very gratified.
The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lunar New Year's Eve.
Lin Tingyue sat down while scrolling through her phone, and the next moment, Lin Shengyan's phone rang with the sound of likes on Weibo.
Among the vast sea of likes, Lin Shengyan found Lin Tingyue's post and raised an eyebrow, saying, "How about it? My Weibo are all high-quality, right?"
"Uh-huh."
" Lin Tingyue, I'm your second brother, is this how you treat me?"
"Ah?"
Lin Tingyue looked up. "Doesn't this just prove that I was looking at it carefully?"
One sentence was enough to get Lin Shengyan to start putting on an act.
He suppressed his excitement, "That's more like it. Let me see how far you've stumbled upon this..."
Lin Shengyan forward, and three seconds later, let out a scream of unwillingness.
Lin Yuhuan Lin Shengyan, eat your food properly."
Lin Xiawan asked, "Second Brother, did Tingyue find out about your embarrassing past?"
Lin Shengyan listlessly, "It's even worse than a dark history."
"What?"
Lin Shengyan Lin Tingyue's hopeless. She's not even browsing my Weibo."
The same name appeared in the minds of Lin Yuhuan and Lin Xiawan.
Lin Shengyan speechlessly, "Your own brother is right here, and you're actually looking at Ying An's Weibo?"
It's also been compared.
"Second brother, I was just casually browsing."
"So, are you my fan, or Ying An's fan?"
Lin Tingyue said sincerely, "I'm just a passerby."
[As everyone knows, idolizing celebrities in the entertainment industry is an extremely dangerous thing!]
These were all excuses, Lin Shengyan persisted.
Lin Tingyue turned off her phone and looked at Lin Shengyan, "Second Brother, I will change my ways from now on."
"What's the meaning?"
"I only browse other people's Weibo."
Lin Shengyan: "..."
After a chaotic breakfast, the whole family was given tasks to complete.
Lin Rusong's calligraphy was quite good, so he always wrote the couplets in the house, and Lin Yuhuan would then take them to be posted.
Bai Yaxin and Lin Xiawan are both skilled with their hands, cutting paper snowflakes out of red paper. Lin Shengyan and Lin Tingyue are in charge of pasting the snowflakes on each window.
The two were unwilling to be called clumsy, so one of them took scissors and red paper and started competing with each other.
I followed Bai Yaxin and Lin Xiawan's steps one by one, so how come it's... indescribable.
Lin Xiawan looked at Lin Tingyue's paper-cut window decoration. " Tingyue, you shouldn't have cut this part. Now that you've unfolded it, it's broken off here, and it doesn't look good anymore."
Bai Yaxin was looking at Lin Shengyan, "Why didn't you just cut the whole piece of paper in one snip?"
Lin Shengyan, "It's not particularly ugly... I think it looks quite good."
" Lin Shengyan, your taste is..."
Before Bai Yaxin could finish speaking, Lin Tingyue came over with her paper-cut window decoration in hand, staring at Bai Yaxin expectantly, "Mom, mine should be pretty too, right?"
Bai Yaxin's heart melted at Lin Tingyue's gaze, and she repeatedly exclaimed, "Beautiful, beautiful!"
The last two people's paper-cut window decorations were placed on the kitchen window.
Lin Tingyue clapped her hands and said, "The food seems to taste better than usual today!"
Lin Shengyan looked at his paper-cut window decoration from left to right and thought it was perfect. He took a picture with the decoration.
She received adoration from her fans.
He completely ignored the comments from some of his toxic fans.
After lunch, the group went upstairs for a nap. On Lin Tingyue's door was a couplet that she had insisted on having Lin Rusong personally design for her.
The left side reads "May wealth flow in abundantly," the right side reads "May wealth and treasures enter," and the horizontal inscription reads "Wealth Comes In."
Lin Shengyan, "Your poem doesn't rhyme either."
"Why bother with rhyming? Money talks."
Before going in, Lin Tingyue bowed sincerely to the couplet.
The three looked at each other, puzzled. Was it really okay for their younger sister to be so superstitious?
The whole family also attended the New Year's Eve dinner.
Those who can't cook, or whose cooking isn't very good, can help out. The main force in the Lin Family is Bai Yaxin and Lin Yuhuan.
Looking at his wife and eldest son, Lin Rusong rolled up his sleeves. Lin Tingyue asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Lin Rusong clenched his fists, his gaze earnest, and said, "I must study cooking diligently so that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with your mother."
Lin Tingyue: "..."
What on earth is burning?!
" Lin Rusong, come over and chop the chili peppers!"
"Hey, Yaxin, I'm here."
Lin Tingyue: "..."
[What Dad needs isn't cooking skills, is it?]
" Tingyue, Xiawan, go pick some vegetables and bring them back."
"Okay, Mom."
Lin Tingyue and Lin Xiawan went to pick vegetables. The Lin Family had their own vegetable garden, and they went out carrying small baskets.
Lin Tingyue keenly sensed that Lin Xiawan's mood was off, so she took Lin Xiawan's hand and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiawan smiled at her through her tears, "I just felt a little sore in my chest, I don't know why, and then the tears just started falling."
"Sister," Lin Tingyue said earnestly, holding Lin Xiawan's hand, "That's the feeling you got from being warmed, the feeling your heart transmitted to you. You were happy, you were joyful, and then you cried tears of joy."
"Yes." Lin Xiawan nodded. " Tingyue is right."
Lin Tingyue put her arm around Lin Xiawan's shoulder and pressed her head against Lin Xiawan's, "We'll do this every year from now on."
"Good."
In fact, not only Lin Xiawan, but Lin Tingyue was also very moved. She had never experienced the feeling of a family celebrating the New Year together.
Now that I've experienced it, I know that this feeling is actually sweet.
It was like a piece of honey slowly melting in my heart; as the sweetness spread, tears also fell.
"Oh!" Bai Yaxin exclaimed in surprise as she waited for the two of them at the door, "It's snowing!"
"Yes."
Bai Yaxin reached out and patted the snow off Lin Xiawan and Lin Tingyue's shoulders, "Then quickly hang up your coats to dry, so you don't catch a cold."
Lin Xiawan
Lin Tingyue and Bai Yaxin pressed their cheeks together, and the two of them said with smiles, "Okay, Mom."
Bai Yaxin was taken aback. Lin Xiawan and Lin Tingyue had just returned from outside, and their faces were cold, but what Bai Yaxin felt first was the warmth that her two daughters brought her.
She laughed and scolded, "You two little rascals!"
The snow was still falling as night fell.
The dining room was lit with warm yellow lights, and dishes were brought to the table one by one. Family members came and went, and the atmosphere of the New Year was already there.
Finally, everyone took their seats and waited for Bai Yaxin to speak.
Bai Yaxin to herself, "What are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
"Good."
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison, "Happy New Year!"
Bai Yaxin looked at the four children and suddenly felt a stinging sensation in her eyes. Lin Rusong asked, "What's wrong?"
