The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Qiao Wan chuckled and expertly served food to A Ning.

"Ah Ning is right, you can't lose your temper during the New Year."

Ah Ning chuckled, then heard her mother say:

"Should we go and wish Grandma a Happy New Year in a couple of days, on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"

Ah Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and she even stopped eating with her chopsticks. "Really?"

Qiao Wan raised an eyebrow slightly and teased her, "What's wrong? It's gotten colder these past few days, isn't Aning afraid of the cold and doesn't want to go out?"

"No, no, no, of course not!" Ah Ning's eyes sparkled, and she spoke much faster. "Of course Ah Ning wants to go!"

"In previous years, Aning would always be with Grandma during the Lunar New Year. This year, Aning isn't here, and Grandma must be so lonely..."

"Ah Ning wants to go! She wants to go!"

"Okay, okay." Qiao Wan was happy to tease her, and put a few more pieces of green vegetables into her bowl. "Ning, eat well and eat more vegetables. In a couple of days, your mother will take you to see your grandmother."

"Okay, okay." Ah Ning quickly ate a few leafy greens that she would never normally touch, chewed them and swallowed them, then remembered something and asked with her bright eyes.

"Mom, do we need to pay New Year's visits to our elders every year?"

Qiao Wan: "Of course."

Aning: "Should we also go and wish Grandpa a Happy New Year?"

Qiao Wan suddenly stopped.

Although she and her father had reconciled, she still felt uneasy.

It had been far too long since she had a proper conversation with her father...

Is it really a good idea to make a surprise visit during the Lunar New Year?

"Mother?"

"Mother?"

Aning called her several times before Qiao Wan came to her senses. She pinched Aning's cheek and said, "Let's talk about it later. Let's eat first."

As Yingxia and the others were cleaning up the table after dinner, fireworks went off outside.

Bright and colorful, it illuminated most of the sky.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!

"Farewell to the old year, welcome the new!"

The commotion outside the mansion bypassed several walls and entered the courtyard, allowing everyone to feel the festive atmosphere outside.

Daliang has an open and welcoming culture, and people can set off fireworks to celebrate festivals.

At this moment, everyone in Biyouyuan, regardless of whether they were master or servant, came out of their rooms and stood under the eaves, joyfully watching the fireworks.

The bursting fireworks made everyone's smiling faces look exceptionally vivid.

Ah Ning's little hand was held firmly in her mother's hand, and she felt warm all over, extremely happy.

"Mother, this is the first time Aning has ever seen fireworks! They're so beautiful!"

"The chubby boy next door used to always talk about how he'd seen fireworks, how beautiful they were, and Ah Ning was so envious!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wan smiled gently, bent down to look at A Ning at eye level, and pulled out a magic wand from behind her as if by magic.

"Hey, Aning, would you like to set off fireworks with your mother?"

"Mother!"

"Can Aning set off fireworks too? Can this little firework be held in your hand and set off? Mother, please teach Aning! Aning wants to set off fireworks with Mother!"

Ah Ning looked delighted and jumped up and down a few times. Her little face was flushed and looked especially beautiful against the backdrop of fireworks.

Qiao Wan was already very beautiful. At this moment, she smiled and taught A Ning how to set off fireworks. She was gentle and kind, and her whole person looked even more ethereal. She was surrounded by a gentle and loving temperament.

"Here, take these two sticks, one in each hand, and hold them firmly."

After saying that, she called out to Yingxia, "Yingxia, hurry, get me a piece of charcoal."

Ah Ning looked at Qiao Wan with bright, sparkling eyes, paused for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"Mother..."

"Why are Ah Ning's eyes suddenly sore? I can hardly see my mother's face anymore..."

Qiao Wan paused in her action of touching the charcoal with the fairy wand, but quickly broke into a gentle smile and pinched her cheek with her free hand.

"Does it hurt?"

Ah Ning's cheeks felt sore, even more so than her eyes: "It hurts a little."

"It's good that it hurts." Qiao Wan held A Ning's hand and placed the fairy wand in her hand against the piece of charcoal that Ying Xia was holding. "If it hurts, it means this isn't a dream."

It wasn't...a dream?

Ah Ning felt soft-hearted and gave her mother a big kiss on the cheek!

With a sizzle, the fairy wand in my hand was ignited, and sparks bloomed around the wand, blossoming into a flower.

Qiao Wan held A Ning's hand and guided her to spin around with the fairy wand.

As Ah Ning gradually became more skilled, the sparkler burned out.

Little Aning wasn't satisfied with the fun, so she clamored for two more sparklers and ran to the middle of the yard, spinning around with them in her hands.

Against the dark sky, dazzling fireworks bloomed freely, and beneath them, little girls twirled happily, holding sparklers.

Everything was so harmonious and so warm.

Qiao Wan watched with a smile as Ying Xia lit one sparkler after another for A Ning, her smile never fading.

She raised her hand to her chest, swallowing back the muffled cough...

I wish time could stand still at this moment.

The image of Ah Ning's smiling face was captured in time.

-

Because the old lady had instructed that no one should disturb them, Qiao Wan did not take Aning to pay her respects on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Instead, she leisurely spent the whole day playing with Aning in the courtyard.

The next morning, Qiao Wan woke A Ning up early.

"Ning, wake up."

Ah Ning opened her eyes groggily, hummed twice, then closed them again, her voice muffled: "Mother, Ah Ning wants to sleep some more..."

"No, you can't." Qiao Wan took her little hand and massaged her joints, saying gently, "If you don't get up now, you won't make it in time to see Grandma."

The word "Grandma" seemed to trigger a switch for Ah Ning.

She suddenly opened her eyes, instantly becoming much more alert, and quickly got up, reaching out for a hug.

"Mother, Aning needs to change her clothes and wash up quickly, we can't delay our journey!"

Qiao Wan affectionately carried her to the soft couch, changing her clothes while asking:

"Last time, Aning said she wanted to prepare an oil lamp, finger protectors, needles, thread and cloth for Grandma. Mother has prepared everything, as well as a lot of food and things to replenish qi and blood."

"Is there anything else you'd like to give Grandma?"

Ah Ning closed her eyes, letting her mother do as she pleased. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head: "Mother is amazing, she's thought of everything. Now Grandma shouldn't lack anything!"

The streets of the capital were filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. The mother and daughter, along with Yingxia, rode in a carriage and left the city, listening to the shouts of the roadside vendors.

After leaving the city, the road became much quieter, and A-Ning sat obediently in the carriage listening to Qiao Wan tell stories.

Although the journey was long, the three of them chatted and laughed along the way, so it wasn't boring at all.

Around noon, the carriage arrived at the village entrance.

Ah Ning couldn't wait to lift the curtain and almost immediately saw the rabbit spirit squatting on the big rock!

The rabbit spirit opened its sapphire-like eyes, and as soon as it met A Ning's gaze, it jumped up and down excitedly!

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, A-Ning jumped off the carriage in a few quick movements, ran over and hugged it tightly.

"Little bunny!"

"Ah Ning misses you so much!"

"Long time no see, have you missed Aning?"

Before the rabbit spirit could answer, a tall bear suddenly appeared, picked up Aning, and lifted her above its head!

Yingxia, who had just lifted the curtain to help Qiao Wan out of the car, was so startled that she lost her footing and fell heavily to the ground.

Ignoring the pain in her body, she quickly got up and made a move to rush towards Aning!

"Miss! Danger!"
