Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 977: Chapter 976: A Smooth Shout of “Sister-in-law”_1 Chapter 977: Chapter 976: A Smooth Shout of “Sister-in-law”_1 “Ah, it’s so nice to be young. I wish I could set off fireworks too.”

Second Aunt Lin looked at the two young girls running away with envy, and sneakily glanced at Third Lady Lin and chuckled.

“If you want to go, go. No one is stopping you.”

Third Lady Lin loved to eat sunflower seeds, grabbing a handful and putting them in her palm, cracking them one after another, savoring the flavor.

“You can all go and join in the fun if you want.”

Duchess of Zhen was in a rare good mood, chatting and laughing with her daughters-in-law: “Don’t say I, an old woman, am restraining you from enjoying yourselves.”

“I shall not join in the festivities.”

Ye Xue’e said with a gentle smile: “Let the children have fun.”

“Just joking.”

Second Aunt Lin pulled a wry smile: “I’m too old to mess around with the kids.”

“Aren’t you a child?”

Third Lady Lin cracked seeds, teasing her: “I think you’re quite childish, not much different from a child.”

“Hee hee.”

At this, everyone, including the Duchess of Zhen, burst into laughter.

“Jinyu, we also want to set off fireworks.”

Feng Liu, pulling Ah Ruhan, approached Lin Jinyu by the Lotus Pond, winking at him playfully.

She mouthed: “I’m on a mission; you must help me.”

“Ahem.”

Lin Jinyu instantly understood, coughed awkwardly a couple of times, and subconsciously glanced at his younger brother.

“Sister Ruhan, which kind of fireworks do you like?”

Feng Liu raised her eyebrows triumphantly, then turned to look at Ah Ruhan.

“I like them all.”

Ah Ruhan’s eyes were soft, her cheeks flushed, and her voice gentle, involuntarily stirring one’s heartstrings.

“Fifth Brother, pick some fireworks for Sister Ruhan.”

Under his fiancée’s coercion, Lin Jinyu shamelessly capitulated, naturally pushing Lin Jinlong forward.

At the same time, Feng Liu nudged Ah Ruhan.

Caught off guard, Ah Ruhan stepped on her dress, leaned forward and just happened to fall into Lin Jinlong’s arms.

Lin Jinlong received her, soft and fragrant, his heart racing, and unable to push her away.

“Oh….”

A commotion arose from the crowd, mixed with the adorable babble of two little children: “Fifth Brother and Sister Ruhan are hugging.”

“Ahem.”

Lin Jinlong coughed awkwardly twice, let go of Ah Ruhan, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Ah Ruhan’s face turned red as well, as she stared at her toes, too shy to look up.

“Fifth Brother, sparklers are nice, and suitable for Sister-in-law to play with.”

Lin Jinyang handed him two lit sparklers as reinforcements, getting close with a grin and placing them into Lin Jinlong’s hand.

He smoothly called her “Sister-in-law.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Ruhan’s heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head even further.

Lin Jinlong, facing the ambiguous glances of his brothers, involuntarily shuddered with the sparklers in his hand and scolded his brother with an ill-tempered word: “Get lost!”

“Hehe.”

All the brothers laughed as the two little ones covered their mouths secretly and giggled.

The New Year’s Eve family banquet was a gathering of new and old members, receiving blessings from former military colleagues in the valley.

Newcomers from the military kept arriving in waves, and the banquets continued until midnight, without any break.

As expected, Old Master was the center of attention.

All the former military colleagues looked at the old man, who had spent his life in battle, with admiration and respect, deep from their hearts.

Old Master, delighted, hummed the Beidi folk song of decades ago, moving the boisterous soldiers to tears, and they couldn’t help but sing along.
