The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

When Jiang Tingxia was mixing dumpling stuffing, she heard Li Changpu calling her outside the yard.

She walked out, holding up her floury hands, "What's wrong?"

Li Changpu stretched out his hand and called her, "Come and see if the couplet is posted properly."

Jiang Tingxia patted the flour on his hands and said, "Just look at it yourself, why did you call me?"

She said this, but walked towards Li Changpu.

The two stood side by side outside their own courtyard.

A festive couplet was posted on the gate of the courtyard. Although the two wooden doors were old, they were kept clean and had paintings of door gods pasted on them.

Jiang Tingxia took a look and said, "Once these are put up, the atmosphere of the New Year is immediately created."

Zhao Yong in the next yard had already posted the couplets and he jumped off the stool.

His three sons shouted excitedly:

"The couplets are ready."

“Firecrackers are setting off!”

Hearing the noise over there, Li Changpu pulled Jiang Tingxia into his own yard.

Before the two of them had taken a few steps, there was a crackling sound in their yard.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Jiang Tingxia was still startled by the loud noise. She and Li Changpu were unable to dodge before they entered the house.

She shrank her shoulders slightly and saw red paper from firecrackers in the next yard exploding and landing at her feet.

Before she could raise her head, Li Changpu slightly turned sideways and stood in front of her, but without blocking Jiang Tingxia's sight. He raised his hands to cover her ears to block out some of the sound of firecrackers.

The two of them looked at the white smoke rising from the yard next door, and the air was filled with a joyful festive atmosphere.

Jin Xiaoyu carried the paste and the stool, with a look of excitement on her face, "Shall we set off firecrackers too?"

Jiang Tingxia said, "Let it go."

"Put it up after you have pasted up the couplets around the house."

Li Changpu stood by the door and took the scroll from Jin Xiaobao. He was tall, so he didn't even need to stand on a stool. He stretched out his arm and measured the door, then turned around and asked Jiang Tingxia, "Is this position okay?"

"can."

After Jiang Tingxia said this, Li Changpu picked up a brush, applied paste on the wall, and pasted the couplet in no time.

When Jin Xiaowen and Jin Xiaoyu heard that firecrackers were going to be set off, they ran to the door frame, covered their ears and waited to watch. Jin Xiaobao was braver and stood not far from Li Changpu.

Li Changpu hung a string of firecrackers on the drying line in the yard, struck a match, and reached out to light it.

Strangely enough, he was not afraid of exploding firecrackers, but at this moment, he couldn't help but light them quickly, and then ran towards the house as fast as he could.

He was about to stand next to Jiang Tingxia, and before he turned around, he heard firecrackers exploding behind him.

In the atmosphere of the show, Jin Xiaobao now looked like a teenager, and the gloomy expression on his face was gone. He cried out and ran to his sisters.

A family of five stood together, each covering their ears.

After the firecrackers were set off, the yard that had just been swept clean was covered with red paper and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Jiang Tingxia invited everyone into the house to make dumplings. Everyone had to take part in this New Year's Eve dinner and no one was allowed to hide.

The table was filled with dishes. Everyone had been busy for an entire afternoon, so by the time the food came to the table, everyone had worked up an appetite. After feasting, Li Changpu took out a few red envelopes and distributed them to the three children.

It’s not a lot of money, just a few cents, just for fun.

During the Chinese New Year, the elders will give the younger generations lucky money.

Jiang Tingxia also gave it.

This was the first time for her as an elder to give red envelopes to the younger generation. She felt it was novel and strange for a moment. Jiang Tingxia held back her laughter and said something to the children like "make progress in your studies and grow up well".

Jin Xiaowen and the others took it and thanked them with a smile, "Thank you, uncle and aunt."

When a few people were cleaning the table, three boys from the next yard had already come in. One was to pay New Year's greetings, and the other was to look for friends to play with.

As soon as they entered the door, they bowed and shouted, "Uncle Li, Auntie, Happy New Year."

Jiang Tingxia smiled and said, "Happy New Year."

As he said this, he gave each of the three children a candy and took out the red envelopes he had prepared.

But their red envelopes are definitely not as much as Jin Xiaowen and his friends’, just a few cents.

When it comes to red envelopes, the amount of money doesn’t matter, the only thing we care about is making the New Year lively and festive.

Jin Xiaowen pulled Jin Xiaoyu, "Uncle, aunt, let's go out and play."

The kids next door came to pay New Year’s greetings, so Jin Xiaowen and the others had to go over to pay their respects as well.

Jiang Tingxia told them that they were not allowed to ask for red envelopes when visiting other families, except at the Zhao family, since they lived nearby and visited each other frequently, and Zhao Yong and Li Changpu were old friends who had known each other for many years.

After the children left, the room, which had seemed crowded just now, suddenly became empty.

Li Changpu walked to Jiang Tingxia with a smile and took out a red envelope from his pocket, "You have one too."

Jiang Tingxia didn't expect that she would receive a red envelope that only children could get. She suddenly smiled and stretched out her hand to take it.

No matter how old people are, they are always happy to receive red envelopes. Jiang Tingxia had a bright smile on her face. She looked at the red envelope and then at Li Changpu, her eyes blinking in a playful manner.

"Thanks, dear."

Jiang Tingxia didn't call him like that often, only occasionally would she use such an intimate name to address him. Fortunately, Li Changpu was no longer as at a loss as he was when he first heard it. He nodded, with the corners of his mouth raised naturally.

Jiang Tingxia also took out a red envelope for Li Changpu. Because it was a sudden idea and she hadn't thought about it in advance, she felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "I'll give you a red envelope too."

However, her red envelopes were either prepared for Li Changpu in advance or were intended to be given to children. Compared with the thick red envelope that Li Changpu had carefully prepared, it seemed a little thin.

Li Changpu's eyes lit up, he reached out to take it, and held it in his hand with great care.

This was the first New Year's red envelope he received in his life.

Because it was New Year's Eve, unlike usual times when people would rush to turn off the lights, everyone kept them on. Jiang Tingxia also bought two small lanterns, lit candles and hung them outside the yard, making the outside of the house much brighter than usual.

There are stars in the sky and red candles flickering outside the house.

Jiang Tingxia stood in front of Li Changpu, looked at him and smiled, "Happy New Year."

Li Changpu's heart was pounding and he suddenly felt happy.

Too happy to even feel real.

He had never thought that he would have this feeling before, but when Jiang Tingxia blinked and looked at him, an indescribable feeling surged from his limbs to his heart.

It was the first time he felt this emotion and he needed no explanation, he knew instinctively that the bubbling warmth was happiness.

He looked at Jiang Tingxia, and he didn't even realize how gentle his eyes were.

"Tingxia, Happy New Year."

Jiang Tingxia also looked at him and called his name, "Li Changpu."

She said, "This is our first New Year together."

She didn't drink any alcohol at the dinner table just now, but now her face had a faint blush as if she had put on rouge, as if she was slightly tipsy.

"I feel so happy."

Li Changpu nodded, he was also happy.

"We will celebrate many New Years together in the future."

He said, “Every year together.”
