The Little Childhood Friend in a Female-Dominated World (ChatGPT Translated)

21. Chinese New Year

Originally, Xu Mu was hesitating whether to remind Lu Feng to give red envelopes for the Lunar New Year. Because of her small gesture, he was momentarily stunned, then smiled with his mouth wide open as if he had eaten honey.

Now Xu Mu's heart is filled with his wife's thoughtfulness, and he no longer remembers about the red envelopes.

Ji Shi and Lu Rong had already woken up and were sitting side by side in the main hall, drinking tea. They looked up and saw two children holding hands as they approached to pay their New Year's greetings. Ji Shi suddenly remembered something and turned to his wife with a smile, asking, "Don't they look like childhood sweethearts?"

Lu Rong put down his teacup and glanced at them. The two children were three years apart in age and had a noticeable height difference. Lu Feng intentionally slowed down her pace, silently accommodating the younger Mi Jian. Perhaps because they were walking too slowly, Lu Feng's face showed some impatience. However, when Mi Jian looked up and spoke to her, Lu Feng tilted her head and listened attentively.

Lu Rong couldn't help but smile and said, "Indeed, they do."

"Mother," Lu Feng entered the room, let go of Xu Mu's hand, and prepared to bow to Lu Rong.

"Wait," Ji Shi quickly grabbed her and playfully scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? Your aunt married your uncle this year, and you brought Mi Jian along. How could you forget his parents?"

Lu Feng awkwardly rubbed her nose and struggled to come up with a reason. How could she bring their son but forget his parents?

Ji Shi ignored her and instead reached out to hold Xu Mu's hand, pulling him to her side. She asked softly, "Is Mi Jian hungry? Would you like to have some snacks first?"

Xu Mu obediently nodded and immediately received a pastry from Ji Shi. He took small bites while holding it.

Seeing that her father didn't ask if she was hungry, Lu Feng proactively took a plate of snacks from the table and sat down on a nearby chair to eat.

When Ji Ruan and Li Shi arrived, they saw Xu Mu nestled in Ji Shi's arms, eating snacks. They smiled in relief.

The reason they arrived late was because they were afraid Xu Mu hadn't come yet, so they went to the Ting Feng Courtyard to find him. Only after arriving did they hear that their son had been taken away by the young lady.

Li Shi's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this and he took a few steps before couldn't help but turn back to look at the Ting Feng Courtyard. He suddenly felt like he had planted cabbage in a pigsty. . .

Previously, when Ji Shi planned to have Xu Mu move to the Ting Feng Courtyard, she asked him if he was willing. Xu Mu nodded vigorously without any hesitation, so she naturally didn't say anything to stop it.

Thinking about their son's inexplicable fondness for Lu Feng, Li Shi felt somewhat powerless.

Cabbages willingly run into the pigsty, and there's no way to stop them.

Upon further thought, both children are still young and don't understand so much. . . Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had overthought things.

After the four elders took their seats, the servant brought soft cushions and placed them in the center of the room, and then the New Year greetings began.

Lu Feng lifted her dress and knelt down respectfully, kowtowing to the four people one by one and calling out their names.

Li Shi, who just got married this year, gave the most generous red envelope. Lu Feng only touched the red paper in her hand and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."
