The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"What are Dabao and Erbao playing? I haven't seen them for a long time. They are getting cuter."

Yunhuo walked towards the babies and talked to them, but how could children who were only a few months old understand what he was saying?

But when adults face babies, they will unconsciously slow down their voices and guide them patiently, and babies will respond.

Dabao waved his little arms, as if he was greeting Yunhuo, or as if he was showing off the toys in his hands.

"Uncle Yun, this is a toy made by Xier, and there are also nursery rhymes and music. Dabao really likes playing with it."

Lin Jie watched Yunhuo pick up Dabao and explained to him.

"Come here, our Dabao is so good, come and see if he likes this?"

Yunhuo held Dabao in one hand and took out a golden necklace with a longevity lock on it from his arms with the other hand.

"Uncle Yun, this is too valuable! I can't accept it..."

Seeing this, Lin Jie hurriedly tried to stop them, saying that Yunhuo's gold necklace was very valuable and they could not accept it. Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yunhuo.

"This is for the child. It doesn't matter if the child is rich or poor, noble or social. As long as the child likes it, it's fine. The longevity lock is for good luck."

Yunhuo waved the golden collar in front of Dabao, and the small golden bell made a crisp sound.

Dabao was laughing happily, and slowly stretched out his little hand towards the golden collar, which made Yunhuo very happy.

"Look, Dabao likes it very much!"

Yunhuo was very excited to see Dabao holding the collar. He had been single for many years and had no family or children.

Now that he sees Dabao and Erbao, he loves them very much, so he was even happier when he found out that Dabao liked the things he gave him.

"mother……"

Seeing this, Lin Jie didn't want to interrupt the interaction between Yunhuo and Dabao, so she had to look to Luo for help.

"Since it's for the child, take it!"

Luo was also infected by the cheerful atmosphere and signaled Lin Jie not to reject Yunhuo's kindness.

After all, he and Huo San came here in the weather of more than 30 degrees below zero and with wind and snow, just to celebrate the New Year with their family.

Since we are family, don't be polite. There will be many ways for us to help each other in the future.

"My brother has a New Year's gift, so my sister can't be left without one either!"

Huo San was holding Erbao in his arms and took out a gold necklace for Erbao. The two gold necklaces were of similar styles.

But the difference can be clearly seen. The second baby is holding the women's version, which is more delicate and exquisite.

"Look at Erbao, he is so well-behaved and cute, so lovable!"

Huo San and Yunhuo played with Dabao and Erbao for a long time, and gave New Year's money to the two sisters Jiaojiao and Lin Xue.

The red envelope was not big, but it was also for good luck. After getting Luo's consent, the two of them happily accepted the red envelope.

"Just play for a while, the food will be ready soon. Today is New Year's Eve, and our family can be reunited. It's wonderful!"

Mrs. Luo led the female family members to prepare the reunion dinner in the kitchen, and the task of looking after the children was left to them.

Fortunately, the food was ready and cooking was quick and easy and it was done in no time.

……

Everyone in the Mu family, including the elder Mu brothers, Yunhuo and Huo San, sat around the table, drinking and chatting happily.

This is a turning point in their lives. In this year, they have experienced joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and have experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature.

Their current identities and lives are completely different from last year's New Year's Eve, but at this moment they feel exceptionally calm inside.

All the hardships of the past are over, and I only hope that I can live worry-free and healthy years in the future.

"Why don't we find some entertainment?"

After the meal, Fu Yunxi suggested that everyone find some fun, as drinking tea and chatting in such a festive atmosphere was a bit boring.

You should know that the highlight of her New Year's celebration in her previous life was playing mahjong!

No matter how busy preparing for the New Year before the New Year, the whole family will sit down and play mahjong after the reunion dinner.

The children just gathered around to watch. Winning or losing was not important; the lively and festive atmosphere was the key.

"Okay, Xier, what do you want to play?"

Lin Jie also became interested. She had been recuperating after giving birth to her baby.

Everyone treats the three of them as key protected persons, and at this moment she is looking forward to participating in new entertainment activities.

"Second sister-in-law, do you have any new and interesting entertainment activities?"

"I'll prepare some snacks, we can eat while playing!"

Everyone responded to Fu Yunxi's suggestion. Since they were stuck in the house all day and unable to go out, it would be nice to have some entertainment.

"I'll teach you guys, this is Mahjong."

Fu Yunxi took out the mahjong from the space. She originally had a high-end mahjong machine in her villa.

However, there was no electricity in that era, so they could only play mahjong. She explained the rules to everyone.

Just use the simplest way of playing. In the first game, Fu Yunxi takes Liu Yue, Yunhuo and Huo San to try it first. As long as they play it once, they can get the hang of it quickly.

"This number is quite simple. You can remember it after looking at it a few times."

Aunt Jiang looked at the mahjong and found it quite novel. The numbers on it were different from what she usually saw. The strokes were simple and easy to understand.

"Well, the rules of mahjong are not complicated, and it depends largely on luck."

Fu Yunxi fiddled with the cards in her hand. She had to admit that this time there was no hope. There was no hope of winning at all.

"Do you think I'm crazy?"

Before everyone had touched the cards a few times, Huo San pushed down the cards in front of him.

"All the same color, I really won, this luck is incredible!"

"I'm still far from winning with this hand!"

"My cards look okay, but they're just not as fast as yours!"

After getting familiar with each other, everyone understood the rules and then officially started the "competition"!

It was icy and snowy outside, and cold and desolate, but inside the house it was warm and full of joy.

If the sound of mahjong had not been mixed with the whistling of the cold wind, everyone would probably have forgotten the current situation and thought that the auspicious snow was a sign of a bumper harvest and another peaceful and prosperous year!

Yunhuo and Huo San did not stay for long and returned home before the sun set because they had to have New Year's Eve dinner with their brothers in the evening.

They wrapped themselves tightly again. They could still endure and go back now. But once night fell, the temperature would drop again. Without the protection of the sun, it would be difficult for any creature to stay outdoors for long!

……

As night falls, the New Year's Eve dinner ends in warmth and laughter. The family sits together and stays up all night. The bright lights illuminate everyone's expectant faces, and everyone is looking forward to a new life in the coming year.

The children's eyes gradually became blurry, and Jiang also began to yawn constantly. It was obvious that she was getting sleepy and could not hold on any longer.

Seeing this, everyone smiled and said good night to each other, then went back to their rooms to rest.

However, Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi did not leave immediately.

Mu Yibai gently took Fu Yunxi's hand, and the two of them walked slowly in the long corridor.

Together they admired the red lanterns on both sides of the road. The warm light danced in the darkness like flames of hope.

Everything around them seemed so peaceful and harmonious. They quietly watched the world's fireworks, feeling the romance and warmth that belonged to each other at this moment.

The night wind blew, ruffling their hair, but it couldn't blow away the two figures who were clinging to each other.
