Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Sisi’s Embarrassment

Translator: 549690339

Elderly Mr. Di had prepared early, eagerly handing out various types of candy, pastries, and snacks to the children as they arrived.

Today, these children’s pockets must have been large and bulging with their New Year’s clothes, paying New Year’s greetings to everyone in turn.

Once they received the goodies, they would take them home and then pay New Year’s greetings to their elders in the village one by one.

Because Liu Sisi was pregnant and tired, she really got up too late. When she saw the ground covered in red in the courtyard outside, she couldn’t help but laugh!

“Did you set off the firecrackers this morning? I fell asleep and was so confused.”

While a group of children were crowded in front of their father to pay New Year’s greetings, Liu Sisi whispered to Di Yelei.

He was wearing a dark blue outfit today, tightly wrapping his majestic chest. His angular features, against his bronze-colored skin, appeared even more simple and honest. Only in his dark and deep eyes, a fleeting brilliance silently revealed his inner wildness, charm, and wanton!

Di Yelei had a rosy glow on his face, full of energy: “Of course I set them off. I went out to pay New Year’s visits to the elders and came back in a circle. Look, the window paper-cuts, fortune children, Door Gods, and spring couplets are all ready. It’s normal for you to be tired now that you’re pregnant.”

While talking, he lowered his gaze to see a freshly dressed Liu Sisi.

Today’s Liu Sisi was different from her usual makeup-free appearance. Her hair was piled up high, revealing her smooth forehead. Her eyebrows were lightly swept, and her apricot eyes were filled with the warmth of spring. Her skin was delicate, smooth, and as soft as jade with a gentle glow, exuding maternal radiance.

Following custom, she wore a magpie plum blossom hairpin in her hair. Her upper body was in a green tight-fitting robe with short sleeves, and her lower body was a green grass pleated skirt embroidered with large bright red pomegranate flowers. With just a glance and a smile, she captivated Di Yelei’s heart, making him unable to take his eyes off her!

Liu Sisi raised her head and looked at the red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the hall. Especially at the main entrance, the two large red lanterns and the four smaller lanterns next to them, with the large fortune knot in the middle, made the atmosphere rich with New Year’s flavor.

In the midst of laughter, the children finished paying their New Year’s greetings to Elderly Mr. Di and turned to pay their greetings to Di Yelei.

“Hey! What are you daydreaming about? Didn’t you see Di Cheng paying his New Year’s greetings to you?”

Seeing that Di Yelei was still lost in thought, Liu Sisi hurried to nudge him with her elbow.

Di Yelei finally came to his senses, chuckled a few times, and hurriedly took out the prepared red envelope from his arms and put it in Di Cheng’s hand.

“Very good! Happy New Year, great luck and great wealth, try to find a good wife this year and have a big fat boy soon!”

These words made Di Cheng’s face turn red with embarrassment as he took the red envelope, bowed his head, and thanked, “Thank you, Third Uncle and Third Aunt, for your kind wishes.”

“Di Cheng, you should take your Third Uncle’s words seriously. You are already seventeen this year, and it’s about time to consider getting married. Today, I shall have a good talk with your Second Sister-in-law. When the time comes, you can’t leave out your Third Aunt’s toast!”

These words brightened Di Cheng’s eyes! He immediately bowed with joy, “Thank you, Third Aunt!”

His gratitude was genuine, as he understood what Liu Sisi meant.

But before anyone could say more, a group of children crowded around and asked for red envelopes one after another. Liu Sisi happily took out the small amounts of silver she had prepared earlier, giving ten copper coins to each child who came to greet the New Year. The delighted children giggled and quickly covered their wallets before running out of the Di Family home to spread the news to the other children!

In general, people here only give melon seeds and peanuts as New Year’s gifts, or else candy or a single copper coin.
