I Transmigrated As A Villain’s Mother

643 The Mother I Chose

After the meal, Lu Gan went to the courtyard to set off firecrackers for Lu Suo.

The crackling of firecrackers rang out, and when they stopped, Song Ci asked Song Yujin and Lu Suo, “Let me test you. What are the last two lines of ‘a year is gone with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu’?”

Lu Suo blinked his eyes in confusion. What kind of poem was that? Last two sentences?

Song Yujin looked at Lu Suo’s clueless expression helplessly and disdainfully. His younger brother was always silly, and he had long been used to it.

!!
When Lu Suo received the message, he immediately puffed up his face and said indignantly, “How do you know?”

Song Yujin was very calm. “Thousands of households are in their prime, but they always replace the old with the new. It’s ‘The First Sun’, written by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty.”

“My Chinese teacher never taught me that,” Lu Suo replied.

Song Yujin retorted, “You have the book. It’s called ‘The Ancient Poems of Primary and Secondary School’.”

Lu Suo was dumbfounded. So, it was a primary and secondary school book! He was only in the second grade of primary school. Why did he have to read so much?

Song Ci and Lu Gan burst into laughter.

Song Ci patted Song Yujin’s head. “That’s correct. Yujin, you’re so smart. Here’s your reward — a kiss.”

Song Yujin only looked at her in disdain.

However, Song Ci did not mind and kissed him. “Come on. I’ve already kissed you.”

“I didn’t ask you to kiss me,” Song Yujin mumbled softly, but he still awkwardly kissed Song Ci on the cheek.

Then, Song Ci took out a red packet from her pocket. “Your red packet for Lunar New Year. Yujin, I hope you stay healthy and happy in the coming year.” She stuffed the red packet into Song Yujin’s hands before turning to look at Lu Suo. “Little Suo, give your daddy a kiss.”

Lu Suo kissed him without any hesitation. Song Ci took out another red packet and stuffed it into his hand. “Little Suo, I wish you good health and happiness too.”

“Thanks, Mom,” Lu Suo replied with a smile.

“You’re welcome.” Song Ci raised her head and see Lu Gan staring at her.

“Do I need to kiss you?” Lu Gan did not say anything except mouth the question to her.

“Hmph!” Song Ci snorted. “Where are the fireworks? I’m going to set some off,” she shouted childishly.

Lu Gan quickly took out the fireworks.

Song Ci moved closer and carefully lit the fuse. She watched as the fireworks flew into the sky with a swoosh, creating a large pattern in the sky. At that moment, her heart seemed to have bloomed. She called out to Song Yujin. “Yujin, come here.”

“Do you want to try setting off fireworks? However, since you’re still a child, you have to be supervised by your parents when you set off the fireworks.” She waved the match in front of Song Yujin.

“Alright,” Song Yujin replied calmly.

“Then put this on.” Song Ci passed the match to him and whispered, “Be careful.”

Song Yujin dauntlessly lit the match and was about to light the fuse when Song Ci went up and help his hand. “I’ll light it up with you.” Song Ci had been a little worried.

Song Yujin looked at his small hand in Song Ci’s. It was warm and safe.

Song Ci led him to light the fuse before taking a few steps back.

Soon, Song Yujin watched golden flames soar into the air and transform into a dragon, coiling in the night sky.

Song Ci’s voice rang out from above him. “Yujin, look. You lit up a dragon. How impressive.”

Song Yujin looked at the golden dragon shining in the starry sky and slowly smiled. He looked at the person who had given him warmth, tolerance, understanding, and love standing in front of him. This was his mother, and he had chosen her. He waved his hand, indicating for Song Ci to lower her head.

Song Ci bent down.

Song Yujin leaned in, wrapped his arms around her neck, then kissed her on the cheek. “Happy New Year, my mother.”

Song Ci smiled and rubbed his forehead. She turned around and saw Lu Gan looking at them gently. Lu Suo stood on his tiptoes beside him, looking at them curiously. When he saw her looking over, he smiled obediently with his dazzling smile.

Song Ci felt that everything was fine. With her lover by her side and her family in front of her, she had everything she had once desired.

Before he went to bed, Lu Gan handed red packets to Song Ci, Song Yujin, and Lu Suo.

Song Ci looked at the red packet in her hand and said happily, “I get one as well?”

“Yup.” Lu Gan smiled and scratched her face. “You’re my baby, too.”

Song Ci’s face was red from her smile. She placed the red packet under her pillow. All her regrets were now satisfied, and life was great.

“I’ll get Yujin and Little Suo to come over and sleep.” Song Ci put down the pillow and looked at Lu Gan.

“Sure.”
