Seeing Chu Ning'an, Ru Yue felt relieved. He was like a reassurance to her. She would not feel anxious when he was around.

"Miss, Sir, it's time for dinner." Xiao Qiao's voice came from outside the house. No, it should be called Jixiang now.

The last time she went back, she was in a hurry. Ru Yue just gave the girls new names. Xiao Qiao was renamed Jixiang, and the other two younger ones were named Huahao and Yueyuan respectively. They were all names that sounded festive and were simple to pronounce.

Chu Ning'an also gave names to the boys. Ah Qi was renamed Yingping, the little one was renamed Yingkang, and the older one was named Ying'an. Chu Ning'an hoped that they would have peace and prosperity in their lives from now on.

Chu Ning'an brought Jixiang and Yingping with him this time.

"Jixiang is here too?" Ru Yue was delighted again. "Please bring the food in. The Master and I will eat in the room."

Jixiang put the meal on the table and left. Seeing the joy on the face of this sensible girl, Ruyue felt comforted.

"Sister Dalin's cooking skills are pretty good. You should eat more. You must have had hard time sleeping in the open air on the way." Ru Yue picked up a piece of fish and put it into Chu Ning'an's bowl. She knew that he always liked to eat fish.

"Well, you should eat more too. You've been busy lately and you've lost weight again."

"By the way, how are Ruxue and Anping?" Ru Yue suddenly felt that she was not a good sister. Ever since Nanny Qin came into the family, she rarely took care of Ruxue. And Anping went to Mr. Wu's library, and there was also Chu Ning'an at home. She became a hands-off boss, throwing the two children to others, which was very wrong.

"Don't worry, they are both doing well. They just miss you very much. Ruxue said that if you go back this time, she will never let you leave again. If you must go, you must take her with you. Haha, she is very well behaved. Now she is learning needlework from Nanny Qin and is doing very well. As for Anping, he is very hardworking. I always think that he is not working hard enough and that is why you have to work so hard to earn money to support the family."

"Haha, everyone knows how to work hard." She really felt that she wasn't very responsible. After returning, she must pay more attention to them. She couldn't just focus on their material conditions, she couldn't ignore their spiritual conditions either. Children who lost their parents at a young age would naturally lack a sense of security. Wasn't she the best example? She couldn't raise two more of herself.

Looking at the increasingly cold weather outside, the trees had already become bare. This was Ru Yue's first winter in this world. She didn't know what the climate was like here, but she heard from the people in the shop that the snow came late this year and the weather didn't seem as cold as in previous years. She had been worried that the sudden snowfall would delay her trip home.

"Actually, I was planning to go back in the next two days, but there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, so it's a bit early to say goodbye. But I can't go back and make another trip just to send New Year gifts. There are only a few servants here in the city, and it's not easy to ask them to do it for me since we have just established a relationship. What do you think I should do?" Ru Yue told Chu Ning'an about the things that had troubled her before.

"Silly girl, what's there to worry about? We'll stay here for another seven days, and the Chinese New Year will only be about half a month away. It's not too early to send New Year's greetings. If we're delayed on the way back for three or four days, we'll still have time to prepare the New Year's gifts there." He ruffled her hair lovingly. "Have you thought about who to send gifts to? What are you going to send them?"

"Well, actually, the most important thing is Magistrate Huo's family. However, since the Yellow Fang man helped me this time, I'll probably have to deal with him in the future, so I have to send him a gift as well. Oh, and when we opened, Tianxianglou sent a gift. Although they did it because of our cooperation, as the shopkeepers here, we have to give them a gift." She smiled mysteriously and said, "As for gifts? Haha, our strength can't compare to the Huo family. If we really gave them something valuable, it would only distance us from each other. I think it's better to give them some special food. What do you think?"

"You're being very thoughtful. Have you decided what kind of food to send?"

"Let's keep it secret for now. Fortunately, you brought Jixiang here. Otherwise, Dalin's wife and I don't know how long we'll be busy."

Seeing her rare cute look, he felt very comforted.
