On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a long banquet was set up in the village.

The Gu family is small and always sits at the last seat in such occasions.

For the first time this year, the Gu family was arranged to sit on the right side of the main seat.

Tang Fei pushed the wheelchair over. When she saw Gu Yan, her eyes instantly turned red and she turned her face to wipe away her tears.

Lin Youwei's gaze fell on Mo's father. After not seeing him for a few days, Mo's father looked much older, listless, and even in a wheelchair!

Sitting in the main seat was a centenarian from the village. He was kind and amiable, and full of energy.

"Ah Yan, bring your wife to the old ancestor."

The old man held Lin Youwei in his arms, unable to let go. "How can there be such a pretty girl? Ah Yan is so lucky!"

Gu Yan pulled Xiao Yan in front of the ancestor, "Ancestor, this is my son."

The old ancestor's cloudy eyes flashed, and he hugged Xiao Yan and kissed him again and again, "The little baby is like a porcelain doll, so beautiful."

Xiao Yan rubbed her chubby cheeks and hugged her old ancestor's hand, "Grandma, I will see you again next year."

The old ancestor was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Okay, I promise you, next year I will give you a big red envelope."

The village chief poked the old ancestor and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The old man raised his eyes and glared at the village chief, "I know what to say, don't rush me."

"Ah Yan, can we forget about the water and electricity issue in the village? You know there is no livelihood in the village. Can you be a good person and give face to our ancestors?"

Gu Yan looked at Lin Youwei, and Lin Youwei nodded.

Gu Yan lowered his eyes, "Okay."

The village chief instantly breathed a sigh of relief and grinned.

Tang Fei pushed Mo's father to the ancestor and timidly called him "ancestor".

The old ancestor looked Father Mo up and down, his brows furrowed, "Fei Fei, he, he is your husband?"

Tang Fei nodded softly.

The old ancestor held Tang Fei's hand, his eyes moist, "Why is your life so miserable?"

Tang Fei squatted down and gently lay down at the feet of the old ancestor. She stared at the somewhat unconscious father Mo in the wheelchair, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Old ancestor, don't worry, I will live well."

After dinner, several children pestered their ancestor to take their pulses and read their palms.

Gu Yan said softly, "I heard that when the ancestor was young, he was a traveling doctor who could diagnose diseases and predict fortunes."

Lin Youwei's eyes lit up, "Then should I do the calculation too?"

Gu Yan held Lin Youwei's hand, his eyes gentle, "You don't need to see to know that you are destined to be rich and powerful."

The old ancestor freed up one hand and said to Lin Youwei, "Do you want me to take your pulse?"

Lin Youwei became interested and nodded quickly, immediately showing her white wrist.

The old man placed his fingertips on Lin Youwei's wrist, closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them, his tone unable to hide his surprise, "A Yan, your wife is pregnant!"

Gu Yan stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Youwei's flat belly in disbelief, extremely excited, "I, I, I am pregnant again?"

Lin Youwei folded her hands and smiled like a flower.

Tang Fei sat not far away and took in the whole scene. She was deeply saddened, raised her glass to toast Gu Yan, who was happy to be a father, and drank it all in one gulp.

After the banquet, Gu Yan squatted in front of Lin Youwei and said, "The road is slippery in the snow. Come on up and I'll carry you."

Lin Youwei's cheeks flushed. She glanced at the people coming and going shyly and gently pulled Gu Yan's clothes. "No, there are so many people."

Gu Yan grabbed Lin Youwei's hand, pressed her on his back, gently pulled her, and carried her on his back.

"Silly boy, what are you afraid of when there are so many people around? I'll take you home."

The women around all smiled softly with their hands covering their lips, with strong envy in their eyes.

Lin Youwei lay on the man's broad and warm back and said softly, "Gu Yan, do you want a boy or a girl?"

Gu Yan's eyes were filled with tenderness, "Girl, I want a little girl as cute as you, but as long as she is born by you, I like her."

The man stepped on the thick snow and babbled, "When we get back to City A, I'll take you to the hospital for a detailed checkup. Next year, I plan to delegate some of the work to other leaders and concentrate on accompanying you during your delivery."

Lin Youwei turned her head and saw a little snow on the man's long eyelashes. "No need. It's the early stage of pregnancy now. Besides, I have given birth to a child. I'm not that delicate."

Gu Yansheng stopped walking, feeling a little bitter in his chest, "Weiwei, I wasn't by your side when you gave birth to Xiaoyan. This is my lifelong regret. You have the capital to be pampered, and I will take good care of you this time."

"Okay." Lin Youwei felt a warm current surge in her heart.

"Let's think about a name for the child now." Gu Yan's eyes were filled with tenderness. "If it's really a daughter, let's call her Gu Aiwei?"

Lin Youwei burst out laughing, "Too unsophisticated! Gu Aiwei? Aren't you afraid that the little girl will beat you up when she grows up?"

"What's that called?"

Lin Youwei hugged Gu Yan's neck tightly, "Nowadays, many people like to combine their parents' surnames. What do you think of Gu Linxue?"

"Gu Linxue..." Gu Yan kept chewing on these three words. He looked up at the snow-covered mountains and smiled knowingly, "This name is really nice. Let's call it Gu Linxue."

"What if it's a son?"

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, "My son's name is Gu Linxuan?"

"Okay, the boy will be named Gu Linxuan."

When Xiao Yan got home, he found that the baby in Lin Youwei's belly had already been named. He started to whine and throw a tantrum, "Why is there no word Lin in my name? I want to be called Gu Linyan too!"

Lin Youwei said seriously, "Gu Linyan is too ugly. It sounds like Guilinggao when you pronounce it."

Xiao Yan lay on the ground and started to throw a tantrum, "No, then my name is Gu Linxuan, and you guys can give your brother a new name."

Lin Youwei was helpless and looked at Gu Yan for help.

Gu Yan reached out and grabbed Xiao Yan by the collar and lifted him onto his lap.

When Xiao Yan saw Gu Yan's poker face, he immediately became timid and said in a voice as low as a mosquito's buzz, "Dad, do you love my brother more than me?"

Gu Yan was slightly stunned, "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Yan's eyes were moist and her lips pouted, "Because I just recognized you, and you will be by my brother's side as soon as he is born."

Gu Yan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped when he heard this. He spoke patiently, "You are mom and dad's first child. No matter how many brothers and sisters you have in the future, mom and I will always love you the most."

Gu Yan hugged Xiao Yan tightly, "Whether you want to be called Gu Linyan or Gu Linxuan, Dad will help you change your name."

Xiao Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said in a baby voice, "I'm going to be a big brother soon, so I won't be so childish. Gu Yan is very nice, I like him very much."

Mother Gu breathed a sigh of relief and poked Xiao Yan's arm, "My dear grandson, do you want to watch TV? Xiao Cui is going to divorce her husband tonight."

Xiao Yan twisted his butt and jumped off Gu Yan's thighs, "Grandma, go to the living room with a handful of melon seeds, I'll come over when I pee."
