Chapter 648: 648 and when we have a little princess in the future...

Gu Yingzhou’s eyes suddenly turned serious when he heard for the first time about the origin of this wine.

"After so many years, even if the ingredients are average, the taste must be good. I’m lucky to come across it today," he said.

His words made Lin Lu and Li Xiuli very happy.

The wine was brewed by the two of them, and they felt very pleased to receive approval from their well-informed son-in-law.

Lin Qingshan poured wine for everyone and said, "Drink slowly, we’re not in a hurry, we have the whole evening ahead of us."

Gu Yingzhou thanked him and glanced at the wine in his cup.

It was the color of amber, clear, transparent, with a rich and fragrant aroma.

Just from its color, one could tell it wasn’t bad.

Gu Yingzhou knew a thing or two about wine, and he noticed the effort put into brewing it. He remarked, "The color of this wine is clear, and it smells fragrant, lasting, and mellow. You must have put a lot of effort into it."

Lin Lu perked up upon hearing this.

"Indeed, your mother and I don’t know anything about brewing wine. We specially learned this brewing technique from someone," he said.

Lin Tang was curious, "Learned from whom? How come I never heard about this?"

"How could you possibly have heard about it?" Lin Lu shook his head. "The old man who taught us to brew passed away when you were only one year old..."

Death is like the snuffing out of a lamp.

Remembered for a year or two, occasionally thought of after three or five years, but after ten or twenty years, who would remember?

Li Xiuli didn’t want to mention these things during the New Year’s celebration and glared at Lin Lu, "Why talk about this now? We should eat and drink."

It’s better to believe in their existence than in their absence.

Some taboos are better avoided when possible.

After a lively meal, Li Xiuli led her two daughters-in-law to wash the dishes and pots, while Lin Tang cleared the table.

Once everything was in order, the family sat in the room, chatting leisurely.

The radio was on, illuminating the red ’fortune’ character and paper-cuttings on the window, making the scene feel festive and joyous.

The weather was cold, so the four young ones were ordered to stay inside, playing their games.

The men, with nothing else to do, played chess and Chinese chess.

Lin Tang was not interested and took off her shoes to sit on the heated brick bed.

The room was extremely warm, and before long, she leaned against the blanket and fell asleep.

Li Xiuli said with a laugh and a bit of exasperation, "She fell asleep just after eating, she must have stayed up late last night."

She couldn’t drink, and yet she still fell asleep—there was nothing to be done!

Ning Xinrou covered her mouth to suppress a laugh, "Perhaps the room is just too warm, and she fell asleep leaning against it."

"I think so too, who doesn’t want to sleep after eating their fill?" Zhou Mei spoke while nibbling on snacks.

However, as a daughter-in-law, it wouldn’t be proper for her to fall asleep in this room, unlike the more carefree younger sister-in-law.

Li Xiuli thought to herself, falling asleep after eating like a pig.

Her gaze shifted to her daughter with her little red-faced cheeks, asleep, and she swallowed the words she was about to say.

Even if she were a pig, she would be an extraordinary one.

Lin Tang, of course, had no idea she was being compared to a ’pig’. When she woke up, it was to the sound of an explosion of firecrackers outside.

Roused from deep sleep by the noise, she was a bit dazed.

"Awake?" A deep and pleasant voice sounded beside her ear. Lin Tang turned her head to see Gu Yingzhou.

Lin Tang nodded slightly, her mind becoming more alert.

"Pop!" A firecracker exploded outside the window.

Gu Yingzhou covered Lin Tang’s ears, "Zhicheng and the others are setting off firecrackers outside."

"Making such noise late at night disturbs the peace," Lin Tang hummed.

Her voice was soft and carried the hoarseness of someone just waking up.

Gu Yingzhou chuckled softly, "It’s once a year, the kids are all energetic, and they make a fuss for just these few days."

Not just the kids in the countryside, but those in Jing City were the same.

Lin Tang certainly knew that. She had done the same as a child.

"I was the same as a kid, always looking forward to the New Year. There’d be new clothes to wear, delicious snacks..."

During the New Year, her mother would be a bit more generous, creating the tastiest dishes from the simplest ingredients. It was the most anticipated event of the year.

Not just in her own home, but the uncles, aunts, and relatives in the village also seemed to temporarily shed the heavy burdens on their shoulders, and the whole village would be filled with joy.

This year, it seemed like everyone was even happier than usual.

Thinking this, Lin Tang got off the kang.

"I’ll go take a look too."

Seeing her instantly energized, Gu Yingzhou took a cotton overcoat from the clothes rack and helped her put it on.

"Where’s your warm three-piece set?"

He had learned this new term from the young lady, which included a hat, scarf, and gloves.

"In my room."

Gu Yingzhou casually rolled up her sleeves for her and said, "You wash up first, I’ll go get it."

With that, he turned and left.

After washing her face and braiding her hair, Lin Tang saw Gu Yingzhou come back with the warm three-piece set.

He didn’t hurry her, leaning against the cabinet, his deep eyes resting on the girl.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Yingzhou smiled, "Watching you braid your hair."

After saying that, he kindly added, "Every skill is useful."

Lin Tang looked suspicious, "Like braiding hair, for example?"

To tie little pigtail for yourself?

"... When we have a little princess in the future, I could braid her hair," Gu Yingzhou said calmly.

Lin Tang was speechless, "You’re really thinking far ahead."

"Far ahead?" Gu Yingzhou seemed to seriously contemplate before concluding, "Not really far. Just a short two or three years, it’ll pass quickly."

Better start learning the skills early.

He always liked to look ahead.

As they talked, Lin Tang finished braiding her hair, her gaze sweeping towards the man with clean and distinguished features and a naturally dignified bearing, and she restrained her look.

They say a girl tends to resemble her father, so her daughter with Comrade Gu... what an adorably exquisite figure she’d be.

With that thought, Lin Tang’s lips curled into a smile.

"Then you learn at your own pace, and when the time comes, our treasure will be in your hands."

The smile in Gu Yingzhou’s eyes grew deeper.

Before he could speak, Li Xiuli entered the room.

"Tangtang is up. What are you two talking about, what treasure?"

Gu Yingzhou and Lin Tang: "..."

Not something easy to explain, not easy at all!

Lin Tang put on her warm three-piece set, her mind racing, and laughed, "They say having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, our family has lots of treasures."

Li Xiuli was very receptive to this kind of talk and immediately forgot what she was going to say.

"Go out for a walk after waking up. It’s crowded outside, quite lively."

After saying that, she picked up some things and went back out.

Lin Tang was about to leave when she stopped, turning to Gu Yingzhou.

He was wearing a gray sweater inside and a meticulously tailored black overcoat outside.

Broad shoulders and a narrow waist made him look tall and straight, especially handsome.

"Aren’t you cold?" Lin Tang, bundled up like a bear, suddenly became very curious.

Gu Yingzhou shook his head, "Not cold."

As he spoke, he took Lin Tang’s hand.

His hands were warm and dry, indeed not looking cold at all.

"Oh," Lin Tang acknowledged and didn’t bring it up again.

Perhaps, men have a higher body temperature, so they don’t feel the cold?

Tonight, the brigade’s street lamps were all lit, reflecting against the red lanterns hanging at every household, creating a blazing festive atmosphere.

The temperature was very cold at night, but because of the crowd and excitement, there was a somewhat illusory sense of warmth.

Upon seeing Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou, Lin Zhicheng generously offered, "Aunt Tangtang, Uncle Tangtang, do you want to set off fireworks? They’re really fun."

Little Feifei, seeing her handsome uncle, forgot all about setting off fireworks and ran over, stretching out her arms, blinking her eyes, asking for a hug, "Uncle Tangtang..."

Her voice was soft and gentle, very well-behaved.
