Upon seeing Lin Jingshuo return, Lin's mother disapproved, saying, "Why did you stay at the Shu family's house for so long? It's the New Year, you should have eaten and come back right away. Why are you lingering here?"

Lin Jingshuo felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "I drank too much, took a nap, and woke up at this time."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the family immediately understood; they had probably been plied with alcohol by the Shu family.

Lin's mother sighed, "How are you feeling now? Should I make you some hangover soup?"

Lin Jingshuo shook his head. "No need. I've already drunk it. I'll be fine after I wake up."

Lin's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Why don't you go back to your room and lie down for a while? Anyway, there's nothing to do this afternoon."

Lin Jingshuo declined, "No, I'm not sleepy. I'll go find Xiaofeng and the others later. I guess everyone will be back today."

"Okay, go ahead then. It's been a while since we last met. Those guys keep asking me how you're doing."

Lin Jingshuo stayed at home for a while and then left.

Seeing this, Su He looked at Lin Jingyan and asked, "Why aren't you going?"

Lin Jingyan shook his head. "I'm not familiar with them."

"Um?"

Seeing her curiosity, Lin's mother explained, "When Xiaoyan was little, she didn't like to go out. If I hadn't checked carefully, I would have thought she was a girl. She rarely left the house and loved to study."

Every time his brother asks him to go out and play, he refuses and stays at home reading.

Later, fearing he would get too cooped up at home, we forced him to go out, and he finally did.

However, Ah Shuo's friends were all older than him, so Xiao Yan couldn't get along with them, but he became friends with Cheng Yan and a few others.

Su He understood after hearing this.

Looking closely at Lin Jingyan, it seems unexpected that he was such a homebody when he was a child.

Looking at Yuanyuan again, well, unlike his father, he's obviously a mischievous kid.

...

Apart from the second daughter, Lin Jinghong, who got married, the Lin family had a rare reunion this year. Lin's mother was especially happy and even drank some wine on New Year's Eve, which was unprecedented for her.

Su He was also encouraged to drink a small cup.

Then she drank just this small cup and passed out, and no one knows when she finally fell asleep.

When they woke up the next morning, they found that Lin Jingyan and Yuanyuan were no longer in the house.

When Su He came out, she saw that her family members were all up.

As soon as Lin's mother saw her, she smiled and said, "Xiao He, you're up? I made you some poached eggs, come and eat quickly."

Su He smiled upon hearing this and quickly went over to sit down. Seeing the large bowl full of poached eggs, her smile widened even more. "Thank you, Mom!"

Now that everyone in the family had sat down to eat breakfast, Su He quietly asked Lin Jingyan if she had acted crazy while drunk last night.

Lin Jingyan smiled and shook his head. "No, you were very obedient last night. Mom made you some hangover soup, and you drank it all."

Su He felt a little embarrassed, as she had to trouble her mother-in-law to make her a hangover soup during the Chinese New Year.

Then Lin's mother smiled and said, "Xiao He is still young, it's normal that she can't drink alcohol. Your father is so old, but he still gets drunk after just a little. Last night he drank two bowls of hangover soup, and he even woke up in the middle of the night and drank another bowl. Luckily, I made a lot, otherwise he would have felt terrible when he woke up today."

Upon hearing this, Su He knew that the hangover soup wasn't made just for her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The first day of the Lunar New Year happened to be a holiday, and my second sister, Lin Jinghong, and her family also came over. I guess they hadn't seen my eldest brother for a long time, so they couldn't wait until the second day to come.

Therefore, the Lin family was truly reunited on this day.
