Zh: 茶馆里，三个兄弟姐妹——明宇、玲和佳豪，聚在一张老木桌旁。
En: Inside the tea house, three siblings—Mingyu, Ling, and Jiahao—gathered around an old wooden table.

Zh: 桌上摆满了准备农历新年的各种茶叶和点心，这是他们祖母最爱的传统。
En: The table was filled with various teas and snacks prepared for the Lunar New Year, a tradition their grandmother loved the most.

Zh: 祖母过世后，这间茶馆的未来成了他们迫切要面对的问题。
En: After her passing, the future of the tea house became an urgent issue they had to face.

Zh: 明宇是长子，理智且注重传统。
En: Mingyu, the eldest son, is rational and values tradition.

Zh: 他相信茶馆应该保持原有的历史风貌，以表达对祖辈的尊重。
En: He believes that the tea house should maintain its historical appearance to show respect for their ancestors.

Zh: 玲则是第二个孩子，向往新潮，想要将现代元素融入茶馆，吸引更多年轻顾客。
En: Ling, the second child, longs for modernity and wants to incorporate modern elements into the tea house to attract more young customers.

Zh: 最小的佳豪站在两人之间，显得有些不安。
En: The youngest, Jiahao, stood between the two, appearing a bit uneasy.

Zh: “我们不能忘记祖母的心血，”明宇坚定地说道，“茶馆不能失去文化根基。”
En: "We can't forget grandmother's hard work," Mingyu said firmly. "The tea house cannot lose its cultural roots."

Zh: “但我们也要与时俱进，”玲提出反驳，“如果我们什么都不改变，会被时代抛弃。”
En: "But we also need to keep up with the times," Ling countered. "If we don't change anything, we'll be abandoned by the era."

Zh: 空气中弥漫着些许紧张。
En: A hint of tension filled the air.

Zh: 佳豪看着哥哥姐姐，不知道怎么缓解他们之间的分歧。

Zh: 玲和明宇对视片刻。
En: Ling and Mingyu exchanged a glance.

Zh: 玲微微点头。
En: Ling nodded slightly.

Zh: “或许，我们可以试试，”她妥协道，“我们可以增加一些现代茶艺展示。”
En: "Maybe we can try," she conceded. "We can add some modern tea ceremony demonstrations."

Zh: 明宇思考了一会儿，也终于开口：“好吧，我们可以做出一些改变，但不能失去茶馆的精神。”
En: Mingyu thought for a moment and finally spoke: "Alright, we can make some changes, but we can't lose the spirit of the tea house."

Zh: 他补充道，“比如，我们增加一些新年特供，不过还是要围绕我们的传统一起来。”
En: He added, "For example, we can introduce some New Year specials, but they must be centered around our traditions."

Zh: 这番话让佳豪心里一松。
En: These words brought relief to Jiahao.

Zh: 他们三人开始谈论具体计划，茶馆空气中的冬日寒意仿佛也消散了几分。
En: The three of them began discussing specific plans, and the wintry chill in the air of the tea house seemed to dissipate a bit.

Zh: 在新年的准备中，他们达成了和解。
En: In preparing for the New Year, they reached a reconciliation.

Zh: 明宇认识到接受一些创新也是对祖母的另一种敬意，玲赞同护持家族传统能带来独特魅力，而佳豪在过程中找到了自己的声音，成为了两者的桥梁。
En: Mingyu realized that accepting some innovation was another form of honoring grandmother, Ling agreed that preserving family traditions could bring unique charm, and Jiahao found his voice in the process, becoming a bridge between the two.

Zh: 随着春节的临近，茶馆门口的红灯笼闪耀得更明亮了。
En: As the Spring Festival approached, the red lanterns at the tea house entrance shone brighter.

Zh: 屋内，茶香依旧，却多了一层新的味道，承载着三个兄弟姐妹共同的心血。

En: On a winter's night, snowflakes quietly accumulated on the rooftops of the international boarding school, and the campus lay in silence, with only the red lanterns and Spring Festival decorations adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

Zh: 然而，这宁静的夜晚却隐藏着一连串的神秘失窃案。
En: However, this calm night concealed a string of mysterious thefts.

Zh: 魏是个安静的学生，但他内心深处，对侦探工作充满了好奇。

Zh: 魏心里想着：“我一定要在春节庆典前解决这个谜团！”
En: Wei thought to himself, "I must solve this mystery before the Spring Festival celebrations!"

Zh: 他的朋友连是个外向又迷信的人，他相信新年的神灵会帮助他们抓住小偷。
En: His friend Lian was an outgoing and superstitious person, believing that the spirits of the New Year would help them catch the thief.

En: During the preparations for the Lantern Festival, as the crowd bustled, he hid aside to observe carefully.

En: Finally, a suspicious figure caught his eye.

Zh: 那是一个陌生的男孩，正在偷偷地翻动一个背包。
En: It was an unfamiliar boy, secretly rummaging through a backpack.

Zh: 这一幕让魏的心脏剧烈跳动，他镇定下来，示意明和连过来一起观察。
En: This scene made Wei's heart race, and he calmed himself, signaling Ming and Lian to join him in observing.

Zh: “是他！”魏低声说。
En: "It's him!" Wei whispered.

Zh: 他们合力抓住了那个男孩。
En: Together, they caught the boy.

Zh: 经过询问才知道，原来是一个学生的堂弟，趁着春节到学校来玩。
En: After questioning, they discovered it was actually a cousin of a student who had come to the school to play during the Spring Festival.

Zh: 他觉得恶作剧会很有趣，没想到却引起了如此大的轰动。
En: He thought playing a prank would be fun, not realizing it would cause such a stir.

Zh: 随着真相的揭开，孩子们都松了口气。
En: With the truth revealed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zh: 失窃的物品被一一找回，小偷只是个想恶作剧的顽皮孩子而已。

Zh: 纸灯笼在空中摇曳，魏、连和明坐在一起，看着绚丽的烟火，心中充满了平和和喜悦。
En: Paper lanterns swayed in the sky, and Wei, Lian, and Ming sat together, watching the brilliant fireworks, their hearts filled with peace and joy.

Zh: 故事最后，魏对连说：“看来你的迷信也有点用，”连笑着点点头。
En: At the story's end, Wei said to Lian, "It seems your superstition was of some use," and Lian nodded with a smile.
