Shen Fang went to the back garden, lit a cigarette, and called Lee Boo-jin, who was far away in South Korea.

The call was connected.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me," Lee Boo-jin's plaintive voice came from the other end of the phone.

"How could that be, Fu-jin? Happy New Year."

Happy Chinese New Year, my dear husband.

"Oh, this is the first time you've called me that. I'm so happy."

"Would you be happier if I called you 'Daddy' or 'Husband'?"

Chen Fang... good heavens...

"You're so naughty, don't you Koreans celebrate Lunar New Year too?"

"Yes, this festival was reinstated in '99, but we call it 'Old New Year' here. I'm even planning to invite Lanlan to celebrate the Spring Festival with me."

"Is Lanlan causing you any trouble over there?"

"It's alright. I only beat up a few rich kids, ran red lights, and chased girls. Everything else was fine."

...I'm so pissed...

"Ahem, please keep an eye on Lanlan for me..."

"Don't worry, it's all a small matter. Lanlan is actually quite smart, and I've found that she has exceptional public relations skills and strong execution ability. With proper training, she can become a very good manager."

"Really? Goodness, Lanlan is my mom's darling. Fu Zhen, if you can raise her to be successful, my mom will be overjoyed."

Upon hearing that her future mother-in-law particularly liked this younger sister-in-law, Lee Boo-jin, the granddaughter, immediately assured her, "I'll take care of her!!!"

"Fujin, have you missed me?"

"I've been thinking about it, what about you?"

"He must be thinking about it every day and every night."

"Tch, so glib." Lee Boo-jin's lips curled into a smile.

"If you don't come, I'll go to China to find you."

"Sure, come on over, you're welcome anytime."

"I was just saying. I've just taken over two core businesses from my father, so I don't have time. You'll have to come see me then, otherwise I can't guarantee you won't end up wearing a green hat."

"Hey, you dare threaten me? Fine, I'll definitely come see you."

"Son, what are you doing? Get ready to leave!!!" Liu Yue'e's shouts echoed through the garden.

“Coming, coming,” Shen Fang replied, speaking into the phone, “Fu Zhen, I’m starting the New Year.”

"Go, go."

I love you.

"I love you, mua."

Hang up the phone.

Lee Boo-jin sat in front of her dressing table with a happy smile on her face when she suddenly felt someone attack her from behind.

"Sis, what are you doing? Having a long phone conversation with your husband?"

Lee Boo-jin turned to look at her third sister.

"Yin Xin, you scared me."

"Oh my, I've been listening to this for ages! Sister, you're so cheesy! Calling him 'Daddy,' tsk tsk, that's so perverted!" Li Yinxin teased. She really hadn't expected her usually dignified and beautiful older sister to have this side to her. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Li Fuzhen's face turned bright red, like a monkey's bottom. How did you hear that?! At this moment, Li Fuzhen was so embarrassed that she scratched the ground with her toes.

If there were a hole right now, she would crawl into it.

There was a long silence.

"Yin Xin, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

"Sis, I've got my eye on a Hermès bag."

I'll buy it for you!

"I also want to buy a new car."

"purchase!!!"

"I don't have enough pocket money."

"I'll add more for you!!!"

Li Yinxin chuckled, "Thank you, sister. But sister, is your husband really that charming? You're like an iron tree blooming, going all out!"

Lee Boo-jin rolled her eyes: "He is indeed very charming, but he is the most attractive man to me, and the only one to have my heart flutter. I am willing to give my all."

"Tsk, I really want to see what she looks like. She does look quite good in the photo." Lee Yoon-hyung picked up a photo of Chen Fang and Lee Boo-jin on Lee Boo-jin's dressing table. The two looked like a perfect match, like a prince and princess, with happy expressions on their faces.

"Isn't he handsome?"

Lee Boo-jin nodded: "He's very handsome, super handsome, extremely handsome. If you want to see him, I'll introduce you to him next time."

"Then it's a deal."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go out and have some fun. I have something to do and need to go out in a bit."

......

By this time, the men, women, and children of Shenjia Village had begun to gather. The three elders of the village—the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle—were the leaders and the core of the entire village. They knelt and kowtowed three times and nine times before the ancestors in the ancestral hall with great reverence.

Offer incense and pray.

The villagers of Shenjia Village also bowed three times.

It begins on New Year's Eve.

As the gong sounded, the two yellow lions, with their eyes dotted, began to turn up and down, performing various difficult tasks with sharp movements. Lion dancing is generally popular in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. During festivals, such as the Spring Festival, companies usually hire lion dance troupes to perform.

Ten minutes later, the lion dance troupe stepped down, and the specially invited Yingge dance troupe began to perform. Yingge dance is an intangible cultural heritage, a traditional art form.

The main performance is a dance of the 108 heroes patrolling the mountain. It was originally performed when setting off for battle, but later it was passed down among the people because of its beautiful movements and magnificent momentum.

Actually, this kind of thing is usually only found in the Chaoshan region. This time, they were specially invited and a lot of money was spent on them. Many of the performers are young and strong men from the village.

The villagers applauded and cheered, saying that the Spring Festival is all about the atmosphere, and a good atmosphere is what makes it feel like the New Year.

Shen Kun also planned to bring back a camera to film this scene, and also took a lot of photos of Liu Qianqian and others.
