I relied on my heart to play badly in front of my husband, an officer.

When Sheng Zeyan walked in with something in his hand, he saw Bai Youyou laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and Zhang Ru laughing so hard that her teeth were showing.

He just stood at the door and looked at the two people in the room, and his heart suddenly felt extremely soft.

Finally, Zhang Ru saw him standing at the door and shouted, "Son, why are you standing at the door? It's so cold there! Come in and warm up."

Hey, what are you holding in your hand? Where did it come from?

Who just came?"

Bai Youyou also looked at Sheng Zeyan following Zhang Ru's words.

"Uncle Wang just came and brought this over. He said he made it himself and brought it over for us to try."

Zhang Ru was stunned when he heard this, and then realized why Uncle Wang sent the snacks over.

"Ah, Mr. Wang is too polite. It's just a matter of two candles, why is he sending snacks over?

These snacks were probably saved from his own mouth.

Son, I will make some more food tomorrow and you can send it to Uncle Wang’s house. If he doesn’t want it, just put it down and leave.

Don’t say anything more, you know.”

"Yes! I know." Sheng Zeyan agreed and opened the snacks in his hand and put them on the living room table.

"Mom, Youyou, try it and see if it tastes good. It looks pretty good to me."

Bai Youyou picked up a piece and said, "This snack looks delicious. I wonder how Uncle Wang made it." After taking a bite, her eyes lit up.

"Mom, try it now. These are sweet balls made of glutinous rice. They're quite delicious."

"Well, let me try it. If you like it, I'll go find Uncle Wang and learn how to make it for you when I'm not busy." Zhang Ru also took a piece and started eating. "Hmm! It's really delicious."

That night the family chatted until very late before going to bed.

The next day, New Year's Eve, Zhang Ru got up early and started preparing.

When Bai Youyou and the others got up, Zhang Ru was already busy in the kitchen.

The two of them joined in consciously.

They were busy until noon. The three of them had a quick lunch and then started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

As night falls, the table is filled with a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

After setting off firecrackers, Sheng Zeyan returned to the house.

Under the light, the table full of food exudes an enticing aroma.

"Son, come and have dinner!" Zhang Ru shouted excitedly.

The three of them sat together, laughing and talking happily.

Just as everyone was enjoying the meal, a burst of firecrackers was heard outside, and the entire family compound became lively for a moment.

Even in the house they could hear the children's happy shouts outside the door.

At the dinner table, Sheng Zeyan took out two red envelopes, handed one to his mother and Bai Youyou, and said with a smile, "Mom, Youyou, happy new year."

Bai Youyou took it with surprise, her eyes full of happiness.

"Thank you, husband. I didn't expect you to give me and my mom a red envelope.

But honey, I’m sorry, I didn’t pack it for you.

I'll make it up to you next year during the Chinese New Year."

Zhang Ruze jokingly said, "Oh my! My son has grown up and knows to give his mother a red envelope. Thank you, son."

After the meal, the three of them cleaned up the dishes together.

Just as they were about to sit down and talk more, there was a knock on the door.

Sheng Zeyan stood up and opened the door. Aunt Li, the neighbor, was smiling with her little grandson. "Captain Sheng, Happy New Year! It's New Year's Eve, and my little one insisted on coming over to play with Teacher Bai, so I came to see if you guys had finished dinner."

Sheng Zeyan stepped aside to let them in. "Happy New Year, Aunt Li. Come in and sit down. We have already finished our meal."

"Oh! Trouble." Aunt Li was still talking to Sheng Zeyan.

Her little grandson immediately ran to Bai Youyou, took her hand and said, "Sister Bai, Sister Bai, let's go play outside! It's so fun outside, there are so many beautiful fireworks. Sister Bai, come with me to see them, please."

Bai Youyou smiled and nodded in agreement, "Okay, little carrot."

So Bai Youyou took the child's hand and went out.

Sheng Zeyan and Zhang Ru smiled at each other, "Son, look at you, you're not as good as Little Radish at dealing with things. Everyone knows to ask Youyou to go out and play with him, but you don't know how to learn from him and make Youyou happy."

Sheng Zeyan: …………. Mom, are you serious? You want me to learn how to make my own wife happy from a little brat.

Zhang Ru didn't care about him! She pulled Aunt Li and followed Bai Youyou out the door.

Only the Shengze Banquet remained in the cold wind.

Looking at their backs, he smiled helplessly, turned around, closed the door and followed them.

The family compound was filled with festive red, and children were running and laughing while setting off fireworks.

Bai Youyou accompanied the children in setting off small fireworks sticks, and the brilliant flames illuminated her happy face.

Sheng Zeyan watched this scene quietly, his heart filled with warmth and satisfaction.

At this moment, he felt the happiness and well-being of his family and hoped that such days would continue forever.

At this moment, everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, and laughter echoed in the night sky.

Just as everyone was laughing, a noise came from the distance.

Everyone looked over curiously and saw a group of people in costumes walking into the family compound.

The base organized a New Year opera performance team for the troops and their families to entertain everyone.

Little Radish clapped his hands excitedly and pulled Bai Youyou to run over there.

"Sister Bai, hurry up, let's go over there quickly, otherwise we won't be able to take up the front seat soon."

Bai Youyou turned around and looked at Sheng Zeyan. Sheng Zeyan nodded knowingly, and several people walked forward together.

On the stage, the actors sang classic songs in a singsong voice, and the audience watched with great interest.

Bai Youyou softly explained the story of the opera to Little Carrot, who listened attentively.

Sheng Zeyan looked at Bai Youyou's gentleness and patience, and his eyes became more doting.

At this time, snowflakes began to float in the sky, falling on people.

But no one cared about the cold, because the joy and warmth at the moment had already dispelled the chill.

A wonderful opera performance became another bright spot on New Year's Eve. In a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, Sheng Zeyan held Bai Youyou's hand tightly, and Zhang Ru also leaned beside his son, enjoying this wonderful moment. Everyone looked forward to a better new year.

After the opera performance ended, the crowd gradually dispersed.

The Sheng Zeyan family walked slowly home with the little carrot.

As I walked to the door of my house, I found a strange young man standing there.

When the man saw them, a hint of nervousness appeared on his face.

"Hello, is this the home of Captain Shengze Yansheng?" the man asked.

Sheng Zeyan became alert, "I am, who are you?"

"Hello, Captain Sheng! My name is Su Ran, and I joined the army from another place.

But before I came here, I heard from my elders that you once saved my father's life. This time, I am here on behalf of my father to thank you for saving my life."

"Hello, could you please explain more clearly? I don't know who your father is."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not explaining myself clearly.

It's like this, Captain, when you went on a mission to western Sichuan two years ago, did you rescue a local who was kidnapped there? I wonder if you still remember it.

The person you saved is my father."

Sheng Zeyan recalled it and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

After confirming, he hurriedly invited Su Ran into the house.

Su Ran walked into the house and saw the photos hanging on the wall. She couldn't help but praise: "Captain, looking at the photos makes me feel that your family is so happy and complete."

"Su Ran, right? Come and sit here. Have you eaten? Do you want your aunt to make you something to eat?" Zhang Ru poured a glass of water, put it on the table, and asked Su Ran.

"Auntie, you're too polite. I've already eaten in the army.

Actually, I should have come a long time ago, but because I just arrived and have a lot of training tasks, I can only come to visit today."

"Well, I think your family is too polite. Saving people is his duty." Zhang Ru replied with a smile.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Su Ran took out some local specialties from the package and gave them to them.

Sheng Zeyan tried to decline but had to accept it.

Not long after, Su Ran stood up and said goodbye.

Sheng Zeyan's family sent him to the door.

Zhang Ru looked at Su Ran's departing back and said, "Son, you're great."

"Yes! Hubby, you are the best. Mom and I are proud of you." Bai Youyou also looked at Sheng Zeyan with starry eyes.

Sheng Zeyan was praised by his mother and his wife in succession, and he blushed with embarrassment.
