Then, Sheng Lianqiu, Sheng Lianqing and others called to wish Sheng Liancheng and his wife a Happy New Year.

The Sheng family's phone rang non-stop until almost one o'clock before finally stopping.

The children were already sleepy, so they were all taken back to their rooms to sleep, and the adults also went to rest.

Early on the first day of the Lunar New Year, firecrackers were set off outside, waking up the Sheng family members, who quickly got up to prepare food.

While I was eating breakfast, the phone rang again. This time it was a relative from the Zhang family.

Zhang Shuzhen was busy chatting and exchanging New Year's greetings with her brothers, and she didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Of course, Zhang Shuzhen was quite happy.

After breakfast, people from the Sheng family began to arrive one after another.

Everyone knows that Sheng Xiping's parents are spending the holidays in Songjianghe, so relatives and friends will inevitably come to visit the elderly and offer their New Year's greetings.

Chen Weiguo and his group set sail for Eastern Europe again in early December. They haven't returned yet. A few days ago, they called back and said they had arrived there smoothly.

The men in each family were away, and their wives had all taken the children back to the forest farm for the New Year, so they didn't come to pay their respects on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The Sheng sisters, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, said they would come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Zhou Qinglan, as the eldest sister-in-law, couldn't just leave her family behind and go back to her parents' home.

As for the Zhou family, Zhou Mingyuan took a long leave before the Lunar New Year, and he had to set off to return home on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

So everyone discussed it and decided to forget about sending New Year's gifts or not. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Xiping accompanied Zhou Qinglan back to her parents' home to reunite with her family.

Zhou Mingyuan has been in Songjianghe for so many years and has many relatives and friends.

The couple didn't come back for the Chinese New Year last year, so it's a rare occasion for them to come back this year. Neighbors, relatives, and friends are bound to come over to wish them a Happy New Year and chat for a while.

So on the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Sheng Xiping and his wife took their child home, there were quite a few people from the Zhou family there as well.

Sheng Xiping is now a well-known figure in Songjianghe.

Upon arriving at the Zhou family home, everyone treated him with exceptional courtesy, addressing him as "President Sheng" at every turn.

Many people say that Zhou Qinglan is lucky to have found such a good man.

Some people praised Sheng Xinhua and his friends, saying they looked smart and quick-witted, basically just making conversation for the sake of it.

That's just how the world is. When you're down on your luck, many people want to stay far away from you, and some might even kick you while you're down or spit on you.

When you become successful, you will certainly not lack people who flatter and praise you.

Sheng Xiping was already used to it and didn't think much of it, just politely chatting with these people for a few minutes.

When her daughter and son-in-law brought their grandson back, they certainly had to be treated well. Wang Chunxiu and her two daughters-in-law busied themselves in the kitchen, frying, stir-frying, and cooking all sorts of delicious food.

Those who came to offer New Year's greetings saw this and decided not to stay long. After chatting for a few minutes, they all said goodbye and left.
