"Really! If you don't believe me, I'll dig it out and show you."

"No need for that, I'll reluctantly believe you!"

"My lady, please go back to your room and rest for a moment. I will hurry and bring you a delicious meal!"

After roasting the fire for a while, Su Qingci couldn't sit still. Smelling the aroma in the air, she kept running in and out of the kitchen like a rocket, clamoring to help Song Jingzhou taste the saltiness.

Song Jingzhou wasn't annoyed; he would just smile and stuff the food into her mouth each time.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner was even served, Su Qingci was already half full.

Kyoto.

Su Jindong looked at his grandmother who was sighing and ran over to give her a bear hug.

She snuggled against her affectionately, "Grandma, I'm right in front of you, can't you see me? Why do you keep talking about Mom, Dad, and Qingci?"

"Don't you love me anymore?"

"Oh no, my parents don't love me anymore, and my grandma doesn't love me either!"

Li Yueniang slapped Su Jindong on the head, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not used to it. Usually, the whole family is together during the Lunar New Year, it's so lively. Why is it just the two of us this year?"

Li Yueniang was truly melancholy.

"I wonder if your parents and Qingci are used to spending the New Year away from home, and if they miss home."

"Hey, your dad loves my dumplings the most."

Seeing that his grandmother was in low spirits, Su Jindong quickly comforted her, "Grandma, didn't we just receive their letter not long ago? They're all fine, so don't worry."

“I think we have more important things to do now.”

Li Yueniang looked up, "What could be more important than your parents or Qingci?"

Su Jindong looked at the deserted kitchen. "Hehe, Grandma, today is Lunar New Year's Eve. Shouldn't we start preparing?"

Li Yueniang rolled her eyes. "Prepare my ass, I'm not in the mood."

"No way, milk?"

"They're not here, so you're not even cooking New Year's Eve dinner? So I was only able to eat there because of them before?"

"It's just the two of us, what's the point of all this fuss? Su Meifang and Su Chang'an must be back by now, and Qin Xiangxiang must have made lots of delicious food."

"Let's give Qin Xiangxiang face and go over for a meal later!"
