Chapter 75

The Transmission of Family Affection As the seasons changed, Lin Xiaoxiao and Lu Tingshen began to feel the importance of family affection in their lives. They decided to host a gratitude gathering for the elders in their family to express their appreciation and respect. "Xiaoxiao, we should host a gathering for our parents and grandparents to thank them for their continuous support and love," Lu Tingshen suggested on a warm evening. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, Tingshen, they have done so much for our family. We should thank them properly." The two began planning the gratitude gathering, from selecting a date to preparing invitations, with every detail filled with their respect and gratitude. "Tingshen, we can choose a weekend so that the whole family can attend," Lin Xiaoxiao proposed. Lu Tingshen nodded, "Good idea. We can host the gathering at home to let the elders feel the warmth of the family." They carefully prepared the menu for the gathering, choosing dishes that the elders liked and planning special activities for the baby so he could also participate in this gratitude gathering. "Xiaoxiao, I think we should prepare some gifts for the elders to express our gratitude," Lu Tingshen said. Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "We can prepare customized gifts for each person, like handmade photo albums or personalized jewelry." The two began preparing for the gathering, buying ingredients, decorating the house, and carefully selecting gifts for the elders. On the day of the gathering, the house was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere. The elders arrived one after another, and seeing the decorations and preparations, they smiled with emotion. "Xiaoxiao, Tingshen, you are so considerate. We feel very happy," Lin Xiaoxiao's mother said, hugging them with tears in her eyes. Lu Tingshen's father also said with emotion, "Seeing you being so filial makes us very proud." Surrounded by the elders, the baby, though not fully understanding the significance of the gathering, could feel the love and warmth in the family. "Baby, these are gifts from your grandparents and great-grandparents. We hope you grow up healthy and happy," the elders said, handing the baby carefully chosen gifts. The baby looked at the gifts curiously, a happy smile appearing on his face. During the gathering, the whole family sat together, sharing food and stories. The elders reminisced about the past, telling the history and traditions of the family, making Lin Xiaoxiao and Lu Tingshen feel the bonds and strength of family affection even more deeply. "Xiaoxiao, Tingshen, we hope you can continue to pass on the virtues and traditions of the family, allowing the baby to grow up in an environment full of love and care," Lin Xiaoxiao's father said at the gathering. Lu Tingshen and Lin Xiaoxiao listened attentively, knowing that this was a heavy responsibility and a precious treasure. "We will, Dad. We will strive to let the baby feel the love and warmth of the family," Lu Tingshen promised. After the gathering, the whole family took a group photo at the door, capturing this moment filled with love and gratitude. "Xiaoxiao, today was perfect. Our family is more united because of these beautiful moments," Lu Tingshen said to Lin Xiaoxiao after seeing the elders off. Lin Xiaoxiao nestled in his arms, "Yes, Tingshen, our family is our most precious treasure."
