Chapter 569 Chinese New Year

Starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, people visit each other to offer New Year's greetings.

This year, many more people came to wish Li Banxia a Happy New Year.

Liu Mingcui arrived with her two children and said with a smile, "Ever since your divorce, I've been saying I'd like to come and see your new house, but I haven't had the chance until now. I've finally seen it."

“You’re busier than me,” Li Banxia said with a shake of her head and a smile.

Neither of them mentioned what they were busy with; they brushed it off with a single sentence and started talking about other topics.

Arno has become increasingly lively over the years. When he saw Zhao Yue, who was only a few years older than him, he quickly persuaded her to go to the movies with him.

Zhao Tan was worried, so she followed behind her sister and her sister's new best friend, acting as their errand boy.

The two children wanted to go out to play, so Su Laoda and Yao Jianshu had to go back to the Yao family first, and then visit their respective teachers' homes to pay New Year's greetings. The task of taking care of the children was handed over to Su Laosan. Su Laosan took the children to the mall, with two bodyguards following them at a distance.

Su Lao Er and Xu Ying took their child back to Su Lao Er's parents' home, leaving the child there. The two then went to pay New Year's greetings to Yan Shi, who kept them there and introduced them to many of Yan Shi's favorite students.

After returning from Yan Shi's house, I stayed at Xu's house and was introduced to many of their connections by Xu's father and mother.

In the afternoon, the teams that were in contact with Li Banxia called to wish her a Happy New Year, and people came to visit one after another until it got dark.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Banxia led a large group of people back to the Li family home.

Except for Li's eldest brother, Li's sister-in-law, and their son Kong Qing, all the younger generation of the Li family returned.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were overjoyed.

Since there wasn't enough room in the main room, they simply set up the dining table in the courtyard, making three large tables in total. Two fires were lit in the center of the tables, and the steaming fire burned around them, so they didn't feel cold and there was a festive atmosphere for the New Year.

Under Li's father's care, Li San's health improved more and more. His two children sat around him, and they looked like they had grown a lot. The two siblings also tacitly avoided mentioning their birth mother.

Su Laosan brought several bottles of good wine, one for each table, and also some juice specially prepared for the children. Su Lebao, like a little adult, hugged the juice and stood on the bench, saying, "...Third Uncle, let me pour it, let me pour it!"

The subordinate twisted the bottle cap open forcefully and poured it into the bowl in front of Su Jiaming.

"Le Bao'er, this is dangerous. Sit down properly..." Su Jiaming reached out to help her.

Following Su Jiaming's example, Su Yuejin also reached out his hand to take Su Jiale's hand.

As a result, he felt top-heavy and fell straight to the ground.

Su Jiale exclaimed in surprise, turned around to catch his cousin, and fell down himself in the process.

Su Laosan reached out and lifted the two of them up, finding it all very amusing. "Alright, sit down, Le Bao'er, sit down too. I'll pour you some water."

The juice bottle was snatched away. Su Jiale sighed and looked resentfully at Su Jiaming and the bewildered Su Yuejin.

Su Jiaming touched his nose. "I'm sorry, Le Bao'er."

"I'm sorry, Le Bao'er." Su Yuejin glanced at Su Jiaming and added the act of touching his nose.

It made Su Laosan so happy that his eyes were practically popping out of his head.

Su Jiale sighed and lectured Su Yuejin, "Da Yuejin, you have to call me Second Sister, not Le Bao'er."

Su Yuejin blinked, looking at her and then at Su Jiaming.

That means, why can Su Jiaming call him but he can't?

Su Jiale frowned. "He's the older brother, of course he can call me that. You're the younger brother, you can't."

Su Yuejin turned his head and glanced at Xu Haoyang, who was being held in Su Lao Er's arms, before looking at Su Jiale.

Su Jiale: "...He has to call me Second Sister too!"

Su Yuejin gave a blank but obedient "Oh," and said, "Second Sister."

"That's more like it." Su Jiale looked pleased, as if he had taught a promising student.

This made the adults at several tables burst into laughter.

After the meal, some stayed to clean up the dishes, while others busied themselves putting the table into the warehouse and putting out the fire. Su Laosan, along with a few of the younger ones, washed some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and chestnuts and threw them into the fire.

Seeing the strings of garlic hanging on the wall, I picked a few and put them aside.

Then I took a few of the younger ones for a stroll in the village.

When she returned two hours later, a string of kids followed behind her, calling out, "Second Sister."

The Su couple were dumbfounded.

"this……"

Su Laosan shrugged. "Le Bao'er's mouth never stops from the moment she leaves the house. She can chat with anyone she meets. These are all her sworn brothers. She says that as long as they call her 'sister,' she'll protect them..."

Li's mother exclaimed "Oh dear!" and glanced at Radish Head.

"They brought all the little children from the whole village."

Su Jiale nudged Su Laosan, "Third Uncle, hurry up and peel sweet potatoes for my little brothers."

Su Laosan resignedly took the iron shovel and dug out the food buried under the ashes. Fortunately, he had thrown away a lot, and every kid got some food.

One of the slower walkers only got a piece of roasted garlic, which he happily peeled open and ate.

When the parents of these children came to the scene, each of them had a dark ring around their mouth.

When the adults carried her away, she cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, shouting, "Second sister, save me!"

"I want to play with my second sister..."

"Put me down, second sister, waah, help me..."

One person shouts, and then a whole bunch of people join in.

The group of adults were left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Shouts rose and fell, attracting the neighbors to stand at the gate of the courtyard to watch the excitement with amusement.

On the way home, Le Bao'er leaned against the car window, waving to the little rascals who had come to see her off. Her little mouth was pouting and her eyes were red. She tugged at Su Laosan's arm and said, "Third Uncle, when are we going to come to Great-Grandma's house again?"

Su Laosan was speechless; they hadn't left yet.

Soon after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone went back to work. Su Jiale, who had been clamoring to go back to her great-grandmother's house to see her group of younger brothers, was sent to school along with Su Jiaming.

The two of them transferred to the school recommended by Yan Shi last year.

However, to the outside world, the two attended a regular kindergarten.

Everyone tacitly kept quiet about it.

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival was officially over, and the whole family got busy.

In the first half of the year, Li Banxia and Su Laosan were busy with the construction of the security building, and were occasionally dragged by Yan Shi to business symposiums as typical examples.

Use her contribution of 3 billion yuan to spur local wealthy businessmen, encourage them to invest, and help the municipality alleviate economic pressure and college student employment pressure.

The businessmen looked at Li Banxia with strange eyes.

When Su Youfu saw a fleeting glimpse of Li Banxia on TV, he thought he was seeing things and muttered to his grandmother, "Thirty billion yuan, even if you sold Li Banxia and her children, they wouldn't be worth that much."

Grandma Su swallowed hard.

When I saw Li Banxia's familiar face again in a close-up shot, and the three words "Li Banxia" written in front of her, my eyes almost popped out!

How much is three billion?
