Chapter 66: Lantern Festival

Chapter 66

The first snow of winter came very quickly, faster than imagined.

It was as if just yesterday they were still discussing knitting Little Ping An a sweater for the autumn, and today they suddenly had to prepare to buy down jackets for the baby.

Time passed so fast that Ding Sha was a little caught off guard.

Thinking back to being anxiously pregnant with Little Ping An last year, and this year he can already make vague gurgling sounds, Ding Sha just felt it was wondrous.

On New Year's Day they opened the door very early. Xiao Jun insisted on selling tangyuan rice balls in his shop. Ding Sha just went along with him.

They prepared sesame, peanuts, rose bean paste fillings, as well as fresh meat fillings. All were fillings that Ding Sha made herself and delivered to the tangyuan shop to wrap.

The cooked tangyuan contained Jiuniang wine brew, sweet and eating them made one happily squint one's eyes.

Du Rourou was reluctant to stretch out her hands due to the cold, and squeezed next to Wang Wenhao to share a bowl with him.

Si Le fed Little Shitou first before eating himself.

Gong Sister-in-law put a bowl in a thermal container to bring over to Da Zhuang later.

Looking at Si Le, Zhuang Auntie smiled very kindly.

Lin Jiayu knocked on the door and entered, “Good morning!”

Ding Sha greeted him, “Morning, Teacher Lin. Have you eaten? Would you like a bowl of tangyuan?”

"To be honest, I actually smelled the aroma and that's why I came in. Do you believe me?" Lin Jiayu smiled as he sat down, not at all pretentious.

“Then you–” Ding Sha was astonished for a moment.

“I’ll bring him to meet you another day, so you can at least see each other since I’ll have to bring him around in the future anyway.” Lin Jiayu said very openly.

“Great!” Ding Sha was truly happy for him.

After sending Lin Jiayu off, Xiao Jun came out holding Little Ping An.

“Why did you take him outside? It’s so cold out and he hasn’t woken up yet.” Ding Sha carefully wrapped Little Ping An up tighter.

“To get some fresh air. Can’t be cooped up indoors every day.” As Xiao Jun spoke he freed a hand to pick up a skateboard too.

“You took out the skateboard too?” Ding Sha was astonished.

“To show it to the skater boys. They’ve been wanting to see my son for a long time.” Xiao Jun said somewhat proudly.

“If your son gets sick, you go rolling out of here gracefully with your skateboard. Got it?” Ding Sha smiled.

“Promise. Even if I’m sick, my son cannot have anything happen to him.” Xiao Jun raised three fingers again.

Ding Sha spat at him. “As if I’d believe that.”

Still she carried her son along with Xiao Jun to the park where they often went skateboarding.

Having just walked over, the skater boys were playing wildly. Then they saw the handsome guy and beautiful woman carrying what looked like a finely carved jade baby walking over.

“Whoa!!!!!”
