During the New Year, it’s all about watching the gala, visiting parks, seeing relatives, and having New Year’s als together.
But since the in-laws are all in Qing City for the New Year, visiting relatives is skipped. On the first day of the New Year, Cheng Su is busy making calls to wish her family, the Cheng family, the Ning family, and others a happy New Year, one after another without stopping. Her mother-in-law mumbled that not even the Chief is as busy as she is, while Father Qi is very pleased.
Being busy is good, being busy proves that her daughter-in-law knows many people, and with more connections, it’s much easier to get things done in society. If it were quiet and you couldn’t even find anyone to wish a happy New Year, now that would be a big problem!
Apart from wishing others, Cheng Su also received quite a few calls wishing her a happy New Year.
On the first and second days, she accompanied the family to pray at temples and visit parks. On the third day, Cheng Su rested at ho for a day, and on the fourth day she visited the Ying family to wish them a happy New Year.
Coincidentally, Cheng Yaozu also ca to wish his future in-laws a happy New Year, which thrilled Mother Ying so much she was over the moon. As the saying goes, ’the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law,’ the more she looked at Yaozu, the more satisfied she beca, wishing she could pack her daughter up and send her off to him imdiately.
Mother Ying pulled Cheng Su into the kitchen and whispered, "Thanks to you, Xiao Ya was able to find such a reliable partner. As for that Xiao Pinshan before, I didn’t like him. Not that the kid was bad, but he’d been married and has a child. Xiao Ya isn’t stepmother material, is she? You wouldn’t know how happy we were when we heard they broke up. Now it’s all good, with Yaozu, her dad and I can be at ease."
Cheng Su laughed and said, "You’re already this happy now; won’t you be even happier when you drink the son-in-law tea this year?"
"Of course, of course. If they make it, we’ll give you a big matchmaker’s red envelope!" Mother Ying said with a big, happy smile.
Cheng Su wasn’t too concerned about the red envelope, saying, "As long as the two of them are happy, that’s all that matters!"
"That’s right." Mother Ying sighed as she held her hand, "If it all works out, we’ll truly beco relatives in the future, and you’ll have to call Xiao Ya the fourth sister-in-law from now on." She marveled at Cheng Su’s fate, being able to beco in-laws with the Cheng family.
Cheng Su chuckled, isn’t that the truth?
"You’re not against her marrying far away? She’s your only daughter, isn’t she?" Cheng Su asked cautiously, "She won’t be nearby anymore, and seeing her would take ti."
Mother Ying waved it off and said, "As long as she marries well, and her husband treats her well, what does it matter if she marries far away or not? Yaozu also promised us, once we retire, we can live in Guangcheng. We only have one daughter, so there’s no issue wherever we choose to retire!"
That’s indeed the case.
"Her dad and I have talked about this, so this year we’re planning to buy our girl a house, put it in Xiao Ya’s na, as part of her dowry. Right now, we old folks are still young. In the future, after she marries, we can live in her house, or in Qing City, living between both places isn’t that difficult, is it?" Mother Ying laughed as she said.
"You’re quite open-minded," Cheng Su sighed lightly.
Enlightened parents are a blessing for children. Not demanding to be near their daughter and son-in-law eliminates a lot of potential conflicts.
Mother Ying said, "As parents, of course, we hope for our children’s good. If they are well, we can endure so hardships. Now that you’re going to be a mother too, just rember, as long as they’re good, as their parents, we truly have nothing to worry about."
Cheng Su nodded, "Xiao Ya is quite fortunate."
Mother Ying smiled and then started chatting away again. She ntioned Cheng Yaozu inviting them to visit Guangcheng, perhaps as a way to et the future in-laws. They planned to buy the house during their trip and asked about the character of the Cheng family mbers, to which Cheng Su naturally provided all the details.
