Chapter 434 Happy New Year
Lu Ling had quite the plan, but she didn’t realize that Mu Qiancheng’s parents weren’t home for the New Year. And Jiang Xue wasn’t just a typical country girl.
With her plan set, Lu Ling was in a great mood, humming a song as she returned to her room to rest. Wang Min glanced at her indifferently and reminded, "Lu Ling, you better not mess around, otherwise no one can save you if something happens."
"The Pacific police really like to overreach," Lu Ling snorted coldly, not taking Wang Min’s warning to heart at all.
Wang Min could see that Lu Ling hadn’t taken her words seriously, feeling a bit annoyed yet helpless. She didn’t even dare to sleep soundly, fearing Lu Ling might do something outrageous.
Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, and it was only when dawn was approaching that Wang Min dared to fall asleep.
A woman was spying on Mu Qiancheng at the camp, which Jiang Xue wasn’t aware of. On New Year’s Eve, after having the reunion dinner, the whole family gathered in the living room to keep the night vigil.
Mr. Mu, being elderly, went to bed early before midnight. As he was heading to bed, noticing Little Reunion looking sleepy, he said to Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, if you’re staying up tonight, why not let Little Reunion sleep with me?"
Jiang Xue knew Mr. Mu meant well, but thinking of Little Reunion needing to get up at night, she didn’t want to disturb Mr. Mu’s rest, so she smiled and declined.
Mr. Mu didn’t insist, knowing he was rather old and not as meticulous in caring for the child as Jiang Xue and others, so he went back to his room to rest alone.
Once Mr. Mu left, Mu Siwu, who hadn’t spoken all night, finally started chatting with Father Jiang. Seeing this, Father Jiang didn’t quite know what to say.
They stayed up until midnight, set off the fireworks, and welcomed the New Year. Jiang Xue saw that her parents and in-laws looked tired and let them go to bed.
Meanwhile, she stayed behind to tidy up a bit before going to rest.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xue woke up, dressed Little Reunion in new clothes, gave him some lucky money, and carried him out of the room.
Upon stepping out, she found Mr. Mu was awake even earlier than her, and he was wearing new clothes too, the very ones Jiang Xue had bought earlier.
"Grandpa, Happy New Year!" Jiang Xue said with a smile, wishing Mr. Mu a ’Happy New Year’.
As soon as she finished speaking, a big red envelope appeared in front of her, along with Mr. Mu’s gentle voice: "Lucky money, take it!"
Jiang Xue didn’t expect to receive lucky money at her age and was momentarily stunned.
"What are you spacing out for? Quickly take it!" Mr. Mu urged, and before Jiang Xue could react, Little Reunion she was holding reached out and took it.
"Oh, Little Reunion needs lucky money too, huh? Don’t worry, Great-Grandpa will give it to you soon. This one is your mom’s, give it back to her, okay?" Mr. Mu said with a smile, then took out another big red envelope and handed it to Little Reunion.
Little Reunion decisively took it, then handed the previous one to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue thanked Mr. Mu on behalf of Little Reunion, then handed the child to Mr. Mu and went to make breakfast. After preparing breakfast, she went out to set off some firecrackers, then returned home to wait for her parents to get up.
Not long after, Bai Yuhua and Mu Siwu got up, each giving two red envelopes, handing one each to Jiang Xue and Little Reunion.
Afterwards, Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang came too with the same, handing two red envelopes, making Little Reunion’s smile so wide it couldn’t close.
