Seeing them come down, Su Pei was the first to run over, her face flushed, and said, "Happy New Year, Auntie."

"Happy New Year!" Lin Zhilan squatted down, took out a red envelope from her hand and stuffed it into her hand. "Our Peipei looks so beautiful today. This is a red envelope from your aunt."

Su Pei blushed as she accepted the gift, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lin Zhilan then waved to Su Yao behind her, "And Yao Yao too, come and wish your aunt a Happy New Year."

Su Yao came running over and said in a soft voice, "Auntie, Happy New Year."

"Good girl."

Lin Zhilan stuffed the red envelope into the child's hand.

Jiang Chengzhou and Linlin also received red envelopes from Xu Yueyun and Deng Jing.

Linlin climbed onto the sofa herself and waved to Lin Zhilan, "Mommy, come here~"

Lin Zhilan greeted her parents-in-law and second sister-in-law, then asked her daughter with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"You wish me a Happy New Year."

Linlin crossed her arms and said smugly.

Lin Zhilan sighed helplessly, "Happy New Year, and may you prosper!"

"Hmm~" Linlin tilted her head and made a gesture of cupping her hands in greeting, "Do it like this too."

The little devil has quite a few demands.

Lin Zhilan could only clasp her hands in greeting, "Wishing you prosperity and a happy new year, my darling."

"Hehe," Linlin took out all the red envelopes she had just received, "For Mom."

"Really for me?"

Linlin already has a small concept of money, and knows that money can be used to buy delicious food and fun things.

Lin Zhilan didn't intend to confiscate her red envelope; she wanted her to learn how to manage her allowance.

Unexpectedly, her daughter sent her a red envelope.

Linlin nodded emphatically and stuffed the red envelope into Lin Zhilan's pocket, saying, "Mom is a child too."

She beckoned her hand towards Xu Yueyun, "Grandma said so."

Lin Zhilan felt a warmth in her heart. "Thank you, darling."

Linlin was overjoyed, as if she had accomplished something extraordinary.

Jiang Chengzhou sat down next to his sister. "Aunt, you should wish me a Happy New Year."

Lin Zhilan glared at him, then couldn't help but laugh, "You have no manners."

Jiang Chengzhou: "..."

Why are you applying double standards?

Jiang Chengzhou was angry that he was too old to act as well-behaved as his younger sister.

Su Pei didn't dare let her mother wish her a Happy New Year, and shyly stuffed the red envelope into her mother's hand.

Su Yao didn't care about the red envelope at all. She stuffed the red envelope into Deng Jing's hand and squeezed down next to Linlin.

The two girls started chatting away, one sentence after the other.

The new year began in a warm and cozy atmosphere this morning, thanks to the little girls' actions.

After breakfast.

Su Jue carried two large boxes out of the room.

"Chengzhou, Linlin, this is a New Year's gift I prepared for you. Come and see."

Lin Zhilan was somewhat surprised and exchanged a glance with Su Lang.

I never expected that my second brother would prepare New Year's gifts for the two children.

"Thank you, Erbai~"

Linlin curiously tried to open the box.

She has small hands, so it was a bit difficult for her to take it apart.

Su Lang and Jiang Chengzhou squatted down to help her.

When the lid was lifted, a model airplane was revealed inside.

It's not one of those toys you buy in stores; it's a proper model airplane.

The fuselage is silver-white, the wings are slender and the lines are smooth, and the cockpit glass canopy is clearly visible.

"Wow, it's an airplane!"

Linlin's eyes lit up immediately.

She reached out her little hand, then hesitated, "So pretty."

Seeing that she liked it, Su Jue was finally relieved. "This is the J-7, our country's first domestically produced fighter jet with a speed of twice the speed of sound. We imported all the technical data and prototypes of the Soviet MiG, but in the past two years, our country has been able to produce it independently in large quantities."

Linlin didn't understand any of this yet, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the airplane model.

The affection in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"Second brother, it must have been hard for you to get this back, right?" Lin Zhilan really couldn't understand how capable her seemingly unassuming second brother really was.

This model airplane is something you can't buy even if you have the money.

"It's alright," Su Jue said with a smile, "I asked a colleague at the research institute to help me with it."

Of course, it's not available on the market.

After all, there are no such model assembly factories in China right now.

Su Jue asked a colleague to buy the materials and assembled it himself using MiG's blueprints.

My wife and daughter both like my third brother's wife and her family.

In addition, Lin Zhilan was also prescribing medicine to treat Su Jue's illness.

Before the Lunar New Year, Deng Jing was at home worrying about how to repay them.

Giving money would be too formal, as the other three siblings' families are not lacking either.

Su Jue didn't really have a plan, but he figured it was always a good idea to cater to the other person's preferences.

My niece loves airplanes.

I can't afford to give her a real airplane, but assembling a model airplane for her is still an option.

Seeing that Linlin really liked it, Deng Jing and Su Jue were relieved.

Jiang Chengzhou also has one, but it's a pickup truck.

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Jiang Chengzhou was also pleased, but he didn't show it as obviously as Linlin.

"You're welcome."

Linlin has gotten her airplane model and doesn't want to go out anymore.

She placed the model on the coffee table, treating it like a Buddha statue, only short of offering incense to it.

Lin Zhilan had no idea why she liked it so much.

"Alright, let Dad put it away for you. We should go out and wish everyone a Happy New Year."

Linlin stared at the model, holding her mother's hand reluctantly, "Daddy, put it away carefully, don't break it."

Su Lang cherished it because her daughter liked it.

Carefully carrying it upstairs.

By the time we finished getting ready and went out to pay New Year's visits, it was almost nine o'clock.

Almost every household had put up couplets, and the streets were littered with red paper scraps from firecrackers.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and the sweet aroma of candied melon; the festive atmosphere of the New Year was still strong.

Most of Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng's colleagues and old friends lived in the military compound.

It takes more than 20 minutes to walk there from the Su family's house.

Upon arriving at the gate of the compound, one must register with the sentry.

It's quieter here than outside.

Only a few children were setting off firecrackers in the open space.

The first family we visited was the Shao family.

Old Master Shao was Su Bingcheng's old partner. They lived across the street from each other when they were children, and Su Lang always made sure to visit his house first when paying New Year's visits.

Grandpa Shao's favorite was Su Lang.

He smiled as soon as he saw him, "You're finally back for the New Year! Where's your wife?"

"Uncle Shao, Happy New Year!"

Su Lang called out to the outside, "My daughter is naughty, she'll be here in a bit."

Old Master Shao looked past Su Lang and towards the back.

He knows Deng Jing, so the remaining one must be Su Lang's wife.

Lin Zhilan was bending down to adjust Linlin's hat. Her profile was soft and bright, with black hair and red lips. She was indeed beautiful.

Grandpa Shao laughed heartily and punched Su Lang on the shoulder. "Good lad, they said you had good taste, and I even spoke up for you. Looks like they were right!"

Lin Zhilan then brought Linlin over in her arms.

Grandpa Shao hurriedly invited them into the house.

The group entered the house, where several families who had come to offer New Year's greetings were already sitting in the living room.

Besides the younger generation, there were also several elderly people with gray hair.

They greeted each other.

The elderly people used candy to amuse the children.
