Chapter 17: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

Xie Bilian took the maid and the mother-in-law out of Xie Furong's house, and felt a little emotional along the way, she really wanted a child, no matter boys or girls, if there were no children, he felt that even if he held the power of the Lin Mansion and had a lot of wealth, it would have no value and meaning, and once Lin Ruhai went before her, as a widow with no children and no daughters, her life must be difficult, maybe even the family property will be occupied by others.

"No, I must have a child, and I must have a child by all means." Xie Bilian secretly swore in her heart.

It's already time to turn the lights back at home, the Lin Mansion is lit up, and the lights are bright everywhere, a festive and lively scene, after all, it's the end of the year, and everyone has the joy and yearning for the New Year on their faces.

"No, tomorrow Jingyun Nunnery will say goodbye to the son Niangniang!" Xie Bilian thought in her heart.

After dinner, Xie Bilian rested in Lin Ruhai's room.

Although Lin Ronghai is only in his early 40s, he looks older than ordinary people because he has been weak since he was a child and has been sick for a few years later. Although his illness has now been cured by Lin Daiyu, his face is still a little pale, and the doctor told him to recuperate and not be too tired.

In the face of such Lin Ruhai, Xie Bilian really couldn't say that she wanted a child.

When the day is busy, she doesn't feel anything, but in the dead of night, Xie Bilian will feel a little lonely, a little lonely, and sometimes she will wonder whether her choice is right or wrong? If she had married a man from an ordinary family with a strong body, would she have a group of children now?

"Bi Lian, tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you ask Butler Xie to inform those rooms close to the door, everyone will get together to be lively and lively, and have a reunion year." Lin Ruhai turned over and looked at Xie Bilian.

"Yes, sir." Xie Bilian replied softly.

In front of Lin Ruhai, Xie Bilian has always behaved very gently, firstly, she is good at disguise, and secondly, she really loves Lin Ruhai from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Ruhai was born illustriously, his ancestors were named liehous, and he himself is also a scholar, a former detective, in an important position, and he is also good-looking, and he is also very gentle to her, and he is a rare husband candidate.

So in most cases, Xie Bilian is quite satisfied with her current life.

"It's not too early, go to bed early, you've been busy these days." Lin Ruhai said softly.

Xie Bilian agreed, closed her eyes, and said nothing all night.

The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and early in the morning, Xie Bilian got up and assigned the maids and sisters-in-law and the small family members to perform their duties and prepare for the reunion dinner in the evening.

The weather is sunny, there is no wind, although it is a little cold, but the joy on everyone's face seems to dispel the cold, every household is busy steaming cakes, making dumplings, pasting couplets, hanging red lanterns, and some children are setting firecrackers on the street, table tennis, very New Year's atmosphere.

Lin Ruhai set up a few tables of banquets in the hall, invited the clansmen to eat, and the ladies also had banquets in the inner room of the courtyard, Lin Daiyu looked at it, and felt that compared with Jiafu, the clansmen of the Lin family were indeed too sparse.

Lin Daiyu sat at a table with several cousins and cousins, because Lin Daiyu was not at home all the year round, so everyone felt a little rusty, the banquet was silent, Lin Daiyu was not a girl with many words, and she didn't like to take the initiative to greet others, so she also ate and drank silently, and only one little girl caught her attention.

The little girl's name is Lin Hongshan, the youngest daughter of the second uncle's family, this is a white and pure little girl, with picturesque eyebrows on her fleshy little face, and a cute little dimple on the left cheek of a smile, she seems to like Lin Daiyu very much, and looks at Lin Daiyu from time to time and smiles.

"Sister, how old are you?" Lin Daiyu asked her with a smile.

"Sister, I'm ten years old this year." Lin Hongshan replied.

"What do you do at home every day? Is it literate? Lin Daiyu asked again.

"When I was a child, I read for a few years, but now that I'm older, I don't read anymore and follow my sisters to do needlework every day." Lin Hongshan replied with a smile.

Lin Daiyu thought it was very funny when she heard it, and the ten-year-old girl said that she was old and no longer went to school, if such an old child would only be in the fourth grade of primary school in the future.

"If you have time, you can come and play with me." Lin Daiyu felt that she was very close to this little cousin, so she invited her to come to the Lin Mansion to play.

Lin Hongshan also likes Lin Daiyu very much, she thinks that this sister is the most beautiful and temperamental of all the sisters, so she agreed.

To be honest, such a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was really boring, and Lin Daiyu wanted to go back to rest, so under the pretext that she was not feeling well, she got up to say goodbye and took Zijuan and Snow Goose back to the room.
