Tiny Rice Ball had been born in December. Soon after he turned one-month-old, it would be Chinese New Year.
This was also first time that Ling Tianya had spent New Year with the Ruan family. This year’s New Year’s Eve was very special – it was the day after Valentine’s Day. This meant the day before would be Valentine’s Day, and the next day would be New Year’s Eve.
Since the beginning of the first month of the lunar calendar, the mansion had been filled with happiness.
In the past, the large mansion had only had four people in it – the three elders and Ruan Zeyan. Although Mr. Zhong and the maids were also there, as well as those so-called relatives and clan members, it still lacked a festive feel.
Ruan Qishan and Ruan Zeyan would usually be busy working from the first day of the New Year. Unless anyone visited the mansion, only Madame Ruan and w.a.n.g Yazhi would be left at home. It was very boring.
However, from this year onwards. things would be different. With Ling Tianya and Tiny Rice Ball around, the atmosphere was instantly changed. Everyone’s face was filled with joy and happiness.
Every day, w.a.n.g Yazhi would be full of energy while she discussed matters about their new year’s celebrations with Madame Ruan and Mr. Zhong. Now that Tiny Rice Ball had turned one month old, he was changing every day. His growth was obvious.
“With a baby in the house, even the New Year feels more festive!” w.a.n.g Yazhi frequently said.
Madame Ruan nodded. That’s right. Now, our family is finally complete. Now the la.s.s is here, and she did so well to give birth to that chubby little boy for us, I don’t have any more regrets. Even if I go now, I won’t be ashamed when facing the ancestors and your father-in-law.”
“Hey Mum, don’t say things like that in the first month! It’s inauspicious!”
“Yes, that’s right! Shoo!’ Madame Ruan slapped her own mouth. I want to live for many more years and watch my great-grandson get married!”
“Of course, you’re so healthy! There won’t be issues for another twenty, or thirty years.”
Madame Ruan started smiling. “If I live for another twenty or thirty years, then I’ll really become an old hag who refuses to die!”
“Look at what you’re saying. Haven’t you heard that having an elderly person in the house is like having a treasure? You are our family’s treasure, the biggest treasure!”
Madame Ruan looked at w.a.n.g Yazhi lovingly. “You’ve been married into the Ruan family for so many years, but they are the words that I like to hear most.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll say it frequently in the future, so Mum will scold me less too.”
The mother and daughter-in-law laughed with their lips pursed. Ling Tianya came downstairs and saw the two elders laughing happily and smiled involuntarily smiled. “Granny, Mum, what are you laughing about? You look so happy.”
Now that Ling Tianya had recovered from the birth, she had gradually returned to work. The plans for her new book had been delayed up till now because of a series of events. Now that the baby had been born, she had recovered and Zhiya Entertainment didn’t have problems anymore, so she could finally focus on finis.h.i.+ng her new book.
After all, writing was her main job. Everything else was just a side job.
“Ya, you’ve finished writing for today?” w.a.n.g Yazhi asked.
Ling Tianya nodded. “Yes, I want to write this book slowly, and I don’t want to put myself under too much pressure. I’ll write when inspiration comes and pause when I get stuck. Anyways, I’m not in a rush to publish.”
“That’s the way to go. You’re a mother now, and your health is the most important thing,” Madame Ruan said.
Ling Tianya understood this very well. She was still breastfeeding her child at the moment, so she couldn’t get too tired.
“Granny, what were you talking to Mum about? You guys were laughing so happily.”
Madame Ruan looked at Ling Tianya coyly. “We were saying that when you give me a great-granddaughter, I will have no regrets in my life.”
