Jing Shao is infertile, but his nanny is pregnant with his child.

Zhou Nuannuan bit her lip and looked at her expectantly, "Sister Yanyan, why don't you leave on the afternoon of the 29th?"

Lu Yan: "That's too late. I need to go back and buy some New Year's goods and tidy up the house."

Even though it was just her and Ya Guang, they still wanted to decorate the house to make it festive.

Moreover, Zhou Yanchen's second brother's family returned on the afternoon of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. She didn't know them well, so there was no need for her to stay an extra day to get to know their whole family.

Jin Aiyun said she would ask her to come over after the second day of the Lunar New Year.

She didn't want to come so early, so she discussed with Jin Aiyun about coming on the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when Zhou Yanchen's two older brothers and their families would be leaving soon.

"Where are you two going to spend the New Year?"

Zhou Yan asked her aloud.

Lu Yan: "It's not certain yet. We'll see which of He Yuejin's houses is empty. Anyway, I won't go back to the family compound or sleep on the streets. You don't need to worry about me. I'll be here on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

For nearly three months, she stayed in the compound. Although she wasn't so busy that she was constantly on the go, it wasn't as comfortable as being alone with her son.

She's going to have a few days of peace and quiet to enjoy herself.

Zhou Yanchen: "Call us after you've decided where you'll be staying."

Lu Yan nodded. "Okay."

Lu Yan first drew a picture for Zhou Yanxing, and Zhou Yanxing liked it very much even before it was finished.

After finishing the drawing, Zhou Yanxing picked it up and looked at it again and again. "Sister Yan, your drawing is much better than that man's."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Nuannuan bumped into him from the side.

That silly fourth brother of hers, didn't he just tell the third brother and the others that they were going to the black market?

Zhou Yanxing realized what was happening and immediately lowered his head to minimize his presence.

After a while, he glanced at his third brother and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his brother was no longer looking at him.

Lu Yan's lips curled up slightly; Zhou Yanchen already knew they had gone to the black market.

Lu Yan drew another picture for Zhou Nuannuan, who was extremely satisfied and wished she could stick it on her door right now.

Lu Yan looked at Zhou Yanchen, "Mr. Zhou, what kind do you want?"

"Just draw any picture."

Lu Yan thought for a moment, "I'll draw a picture of Guan Yu!"

Incorruptible and impartial, that suits him perfectly.

Lu Yan drew a total of sixteen pictures based on the main gate of the Zhou family and the small doors of each room, and also drew four pictures of herself.

After finishing the drawing, Jin Aiyun returned from outside.

I walked over and took a look; my eyes widened in disbelief.

"Xiao Lu, did you draw all of these?"

Zhou Nuannuan nodded emphatically, "Mom, Yanyan drew them all! Aren't they beautiful!"

"It's beautiful, so beautiful! It's even more beautiful than the one Caiyun bought!"

Jin Aiyun looked at Lu Yan, "Little Lu, would you like to paint a few more? Several families in the compound are looking for these kinds of New Year pictures, but they're not selling them anymore."

Five yuan a piece, that's such an easy way to make money.

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I don't want to paint anymore. I don't have time today; I still need to write couplets later, so I'll be done soon."

She's like a working person who's about to go on holiday and is eager to go home, her only thought is to go back.

Zhou Yanchen: "If I don't want to paint, I won't. I'll take a break first, and I'll write the couplets tomorrow."

Lu Yan didn't want to drag it out, so she asked Zhou Yanxing to cut the red paper, picked up a thick brush, and began to write couplets.

As Lu Yan wrote several pieces in a flowing and elegant style, Jin Aiyun and the others watched in astonishment.

His brushstrokes flow smoothly and effortlessly, and his finishing strokes are steady and powerful; every word and glance reveals his skill.

The content of the couplets is also excellent, grand yet festive.

Zhou Yanchen's gaze was fixed on Lu Yan's serious face, and ripples of emotion stirred within him.

She truly surprised him once again.

After writing the couplets, Lu Yan asked Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan to take them outside to dry, instructing them not to mix them up, as each couplet had different content.

Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan snapped out of their daze and quickly grabbed their things and headed outside.

Jin Aiyun looked at Lu Yan, "Little Lu, when did you develop such beautiful handwriting?"

"Several years ago, I was just looking for something to do to pass the time when I had nothing to do."

Actually, she was too lonely in her later years, and her temper became somewhat irritable. Writing helped her calm down.

She has a habit of striving for perfection in everything she does, and with practice over time, she has developed a knack for it.

The night before Lu Yan went home, Lu Yaguang went back to sleep with Zhou Yanchen again.

Under the covers, Lu Yaguang wrapped his arms around Zhou Yanchen's waist. "Handsome Uncle, I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Could you come visit me sometime?"

Zhou Yan's heart, which had been as hard as iron, softened at this moment, and his gaze towards Lu Yaguang became much gentler. "You want me to come see you?"

Lu Yaguang nodded in his arms, "Yes, Mom said we'll be going back for five or six days, and Yaguang will miss you."

Zhou Yanchen rubbed his head and said, "Your godfather will be with you, right?"

After saying that, Zhou Yanchen felt like he barely recognized himself.

He used to be such an open and honest person, but now he's started subtly trying to trick children into talking.

Lu Yaguang blinked. "My godfather will definitely come with me, but he's my godfather, and my handsome uncle is my handsome uncle. I want my handsome uncle to come see me."

He likes handsome uncles, and he especially likes being with handsome uncles.

His godfather was very good to him, but he just wanted a handsome uncle.

Zhou Yanchen hugged the chubby little guy even tighter with both hands. "Okay, I will definitely come to see you."

On the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, after breakfast, Lu Yan took a change of clothes, said goodbye to Zhou Jianguo and the others, and prepared to go back.

Jin Aiyun felt reluctant to part with him and hoped that Xiao Lu could marry Yan Chen next year so that they could spend the New Year together.

"Xiao Lu, give us a call once you've found a place to stay. I'll come visit you when I have time."

Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan chimed in, "Sister Yan, we're free at home. We'll come see you after we finish visiting our relatives on the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year."

Zhou Yanxing's concussion had almost healed, so for safety's sake, Lu Yan didn't let him take him home, but she also didn't call He Yuejin to pick him up.

"it is good."

Zhou Yanchen watched silently from the side.

Lu Yaguang, carrying his small suitcase, walked up to Zhou Yanchen and said, "Handsome Uncle, we've made a promise."

Zhou Yanchen smiled faintly and hummed in agreement. "It's settled."

Lu Yaguang grinned.

Lu Yan took Lu Yaguang's hand and apologized to them, "Chief, Aunt, we'll head back now. Happy New Year in advance!"

Lu Yaguang chimed in, "Wishing Grandpa and Grandma a Happy New Year in advance! May they enjoy good health and live long lives, may Uncle make a fortune, and may Sister Nuannuan grow more and more beautiful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard was filled with laughter.

Jin Aiyun hugged Lu Yaguang and kissed him affectionately, saying, "Grandma is waiting for you to come back."
