New Year’s Eve.
The dishes were all served. They were sweet, sour, spicy, and salty. There were all kinds of flavors.
The six of them sat in a circle. A few pups were also lying on their stomachs and gnawing on the large meat bones that belonged to them.
It was a festive holiday, so everyone brought out their wine.
The men drank grain wine while the women drank fruit wine.
“Today is the last day of the year. After tonight, tomorrow will be the first day of a new year! I hope that everyone will find success in their pursuits in the upcoming year!” As the head of the family, Luo Cheng picked up his wine bowl and blessed everyone.
When the others heard this, they smiled and nodded. Together, they picked up their wine bowls and drank.
After that, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Li Xiaoran looked at the happy family with a smile on her face.
This year, she transmigrated and became Li Xiaoran.
This year, she went from being a substitute to finding a way out for herself. In the end, with Luo Cheng’s help, she brought her entire family out of the misery brought by the Li family!
This year, she set up her own noodle stall. Later on, with Luo Cheng’s help, the noodle stall became a shop!
Moreover, in this year, she met Luo Cheng, a man worthy of her spending the rest of her life with.
He hoped that everything would go smoothly in the next year, that his family would be safe, and everything would be fine!
After making this wish, Li Xiaoran glanced at everyone and started eating.
Perhaps it was because she had drunk wine, but after dinner, Li Xiaoran’s face looked pink, as if she had applied a layer of blush.
After that, everyone moved from the table to the fireplace. As they talked, they warmed themselves and waited for the new year.
Li Xiaoran got up to go to the bathroom halfway through.
When she returned, she found Luo Cheng waiting outside.
“You have to pee too?” Li Xiaoran asked with a smile when she saw Luo Cheng.
“No. I was just worried about you, so I followed you here to protect you!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and said.
“Oh really? Didn’t you say that as long as I’m in our house, I’ll be very safe?” Li Xiaoran deliberately made things difficult for Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
“All right then! I won’t pretend anymore. I just wanted to see you!”
With that, Luo Cheng walked over and hugged Li Xiaoran.
“Not just look at you, but also hug you!”
Perhaps because he had drunk wine, Luo Cheng revealed his true emotions at this moment.
Li Xiaoran could sense Luo Cheng’s feelings, so she also reached out and hugged him.
“Luo Cheng!”
“Yes?”
“Husband!”
“Yes!”
“I hope that next year, you can forget everything that made you unhappy and sad, that you can look forward to the future again and enjoy your life!” Li Xiaoran said in Luo Cheng’s arms.
Luo Cheng nodded, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
“I’m enjoying my happiness at this moment!”
When Zhao Xiu and Li Shun walked out, they happened to see the two people hugging under a tree.
After watching the beautiful scene in front of her with a gratified expression, Zhao Xiu immediately pulled her man away.
When Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng walked back hand in hand, the others happened to be roasting sweet potatoes above the fire.
“You guys still want to eat roasted sweet potatoes today?! Aren’t you guys afraid of overeating?! We’ll have dumplings later. Can you guys eat them all?” Li Xiaoran teased.
Everyone looked over and saw the two of them holding hands.
Everyone laughed, but said nothing. They just laughed.
Li Xiaoran blushed from the laughter and wanted to break free from Luo Cheng’s grip.
Luo Cheng didn’t give Li Xiaoran a chance at all. Instead, he pulled Li Xiaoran back to sit by the fireplace.
“It’s fine. Father and Mother are just too happy! As for Xiao Qing and Ziyang, they’re jealous of us. That’s why they’re laughing!” Luo Cheng said.
As soon as he said this, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu looked at Luo Cheng in surprise.
In the past, Luo Cheng used to call Li Shun and Zhao Xiu his parents-in-law. Why did he adress them as his parents today?
As if knowing what Li Shun and Zhao Xiu were surprised about, Luo Cheng shifted his gaze from Li Xiaoran to the two elders.
“Father, Mother, I know I should call you father-in-law and mother-in-law. It’s just that now that our family lives together, we’re a family! When I was young, my mother passed away early, and my father didn’t care about me, so I left the family. Now that I’ve married Xiaoran, I finally understand the feeling of having a family! Therefore, New Year’s Eve is a good day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new! I want to call you Father and Mother. In the future, Xiaoran and I will take care of you two!” Luo Cheng said his plan.
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu were stunned.
One had to know that Luo Cheng’s words basically expressed his desire to marry into the family.
Only a son-in-law who married into the family would call his parents-in-law his parents!
“Son-in-law, do you know what you mean? Others will say that you married into the Li family.” Li Shun was kind and couldn’t help but remind him.
Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “Father, we’ve been living together for a while. You should know my personality. I’m not the kind of person who follows the rules at all. Those rules are not worth mentioning compared to my comfort. As long as we don’t care about these things, do we have to mind what others say?”
Zhao Xiu was very moved. For Luo Cheng to make such a decision, it meant that he had already treated them as his biological parents.
This child looked like he was intimidating, but he was a compassionate person.
“Husband, this is the children’s wish. Let’s agree! Just as Luo Cheng said, no matter what others say, we won’t lose anything! Besides, it’s our blessing to have such a good child like Luo Cheng to take care of us!” Zhao Xiu expressed her attitude.
“Also! My brother calls you two Father and Mother, so I also have to call you two Father and Mother! I was originally an orphan. Now, thanks to you guys, I have a family! I hope Father and Mother can acknowledge me!” Luo Ziyang said with teary eyes when he saw this scene.
Li Shun’s heart softened and he nodded quickly. He took Luo Cheng’s hand with one hand and held Luo Ziyang’s hand with the other. Then, he nodded.
“Alright. You’re all my sons! You’re our blessing!”
“That’s great. I have two more brothers! But should I call them my brother or brother-in-law in the future?” Li Xiaoqing was a little confused.
“Call him brother-in-law!”
“Call him brother-in-law!”
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng said together.
As soon as they said this, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other and smiled.
“Yes, your brother-in-law is still your brother-in-law. Don’t call him anything else!” Li Shun said.
