Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

The people Shen Jinzhen had dated were all outstanding talents in their respective fields. She did not embarrass others, but directly told them that her career was more important and she did not want to get married so early, and she talked things out in a friendly manner.

"Okay, okay, I remembered it wrongly. Our Jinzhen is the most gentle, considerate, kind and beautiful."

Shen Tunan didn't argue with her and just tried to comfort her perfunctorily.

Wei Ruolai watched the interaction between the two and smiled slightly. He hadn't seen such a heartwarming scene for a long time.

In the years since my brother left home, my father has been worried, and this kind of scene can only happen during the Chinese New Year. Now he has a job and has left home, and my mother passed away early, so I don’t know if my father is living well at home.

"If you come, have some dumplings. I heard that people in your hometown eat dumplings during the New Year. I also bought some aged vinegar. Try it and see if it tastes the same."

As if by magic, Shen Tunan took out a small bottle of vinegar from behind him. The moment he opened the bottle cap, the rich aroma of aged vinegar wafted out.

He took the small plate, poured some for Wei Ruolai, and placed the dumplings closer to him, motioning him to eat more.

"Okay, thank you, Master."

The dumplings were indeed delicious. The aroma of leeks combined with the aroma of aged vinegar made his half-full stomach send out hunger signals again, and he ate a lot of dumplings in one go.

Looking at Wei Ruolai eating with big mouthfuls, Shen Tunan almost burst into laughter.

"Come on, Jinzhen, try it too, it's delicious."

Seeing that her husband only had eyes for her apprentice, Su Cishu took the initiative to pick up a few for Jinzhen.

Shen Jinzhen had eaten dumplings before, but without vinegar, she felt that they tasted ordinary. But today, thanks to Wei Ruolai, she was able to eat authentic dumplings, and she felt that the taste was indeed different, fragrant and delicious.

Su Cishu served two more dumplings to Xiaoyuer. Xiaoyuer was young and had never eaten dumplings before. After tasting one, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"Mom, these dumplings are delicious. I want more."

Su Cishu has always doted on his daughter. After hearing this, he immediately served three more. "These are enough. Xiaoyuer is a child. She can't eat too much or she will feel full."

The clock struck twelve and the sound of fireworks rang out outside.

Shen Jinzhen remembered that she had bought fireworks before. She hurried upstairs to get them down, and said happily to everyone: "Come on, take a look at the special fireworks I bought, they look better when set off."

Just as everyone had finished their meal, a few people came to the yard. Jinzhen took out a firework, lit the fuse, and let it burn.

“Whoosh—Bang—”

Fireworks exploded in the sky, brilliant and bright. Xiao Yuer danced happily beside them. "I make a wish for the new year: our family will be healthy, safe and happy, and I also hope that Dad can realize his ideals and ambitions."

Shen Tunan looked at Xiao Yu'er lovingly and patted her head. "Okay, Daddy will also make a wish. Xiao Yu'er will be safe and sound in the new year, and all her wishes will come true."

Su Cishu looked at the two of them with a smile, "Then I wish you all the best."

"In the new year, I want everyone to be well." Jin Zhen also came over with a smile.

Looking at the fireworks in the sky, Wei Ruolai's eyes were filled with loneliness. It would be great if his brother and father were there, as well as his familiar neighbors and relatives, and if everyone could celebrate the New Year happily together.
