Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Call Her Sister-in-Law

Tang Yue leaned against Meng Siyu’s chest. She initially wanted to talk about not making the kids’ training too tough, but then she changed the topic: "The New Year is coming soon. Do you have time off this year?"

"Of course I do. I’ve been looking forward to this break for a long time." Meng Siyu has been busy these days, all in anticipation of getting a few days off for the New Year.

"Great." Meng Siyu kissed her cheek and said, "Wife, you’ve worked hard."

"Not hard at all." Tang Yue smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, and said, "Since Zaozao and Chenchen are still young, please keep them in line when you take them to the office."

Meng Siyu lowered his head to gaze into her sparkling eyes, momentarily hesitating, unsure if Tang Yue had noticed anything. Yet, her smile was sweet, and she didn’t say a word. Meng Siyu paused and said, "Rest assured, they are very well-behaved. When they grow up, they’ll surely be our pride."

"Hmm."

Tang Yue responded affirmatively, then opened her arms to embrace him tightly and said, "Thank you for giving us two such innocent and adorable children."

"I should be the one thanking you."

Meng Siyu flipped over and pinned her down.

Though Tang Yue didn’t confront Zaozao and Chenchen about what they were doing at the office, she made sure to give them extra meals daily, making their food even more nutritious.

The eve of Chinese New Year is a very important holiday in Huaxia.

At noon, before Meng Siyu went to the office for duty, the Lian Family gathered for the most complete reunion meal.

Everyone in the Lian Family, from Old Sir Lian down to the youngest generation, Zaozao and Chenchen, was present.

Now that Tang Yue has embraced Lian He, and Lian Qingyang has found a wife, Old Sir Lian could hardly contain his joy.

The Tang Family, consisting of Tang Zhengde, Zhang Hualian, and Tang Yue’s family of four, plus Tang Jun, who had just arrived home, were all present.

Tang Mingli’s family of four, Mo Xiaolin and Meng Jin, along with Ding Ling, created a lively and warm atmosphere.

The women were busy in the kitchen, while the men were either chatting or playing chess. The children played freely in the yard, unafraid of the cold.

Three tables were packed full in the large dining room, and although it was a bit cramped, nobody minded. Instead, they felt it was lively and warm.

Even though the dishes didn’t look as artful as those from a big hotel.

Even though the space wasn’t as spacious and comfortable as a hotel.

Even though they had to sit close to others, everyone’s smile seemed to spread to others, particularly the Lian Family, who felt most touched.

Every New Year, the Lian Family would go to Old Sir Lian’s old residence, with spacious dining rooms and exquisite dishes. Yet, they’d never had a gathering like this before.

But this year was their happiest.

"Grandpa, we wish you health and longevity, happiness and safety in the New Year." Tang Yue and Meng Siyu each held a drink, Tang Yue’s was a non-alcoholic beverage, and together they toasted Old Sir Lian.

Zaozao and Chenchen weren’t to be outdone, running forward with their cups mimicking the adults, saying, "Great-grandfather, we wish you in the New Year, may your health be as solid as the Mount Tai rocks, as everlasting as the immortal pine, and like the evergreen that lasts forever."

Once Zaozao finished speaking, Chenchen repeated the blessing.

"Good, good, good."

Old Sir Lian’s eyes squinted with laughter, his heart was warm, and he was utterly delighted.

After the reunion meal, they began to set off fireworks; since fireworks weren’t yet banned, they symbolically lit some after lunch, saving more for the evening. Zaozao and Chenchen, along with several children, had already played with many in the yard, bringing bursts of joyful laughter.
