People stay up all night on New Year's Eve, so they gathered in the main room to sit by the fire and chat.
Lin Xiangyi couldn't bear it any longer, so she went back to sleep. Everyone understood and told her to close the doors and windows tightly, otherwise she would be woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
In fact, it has been proved that closing doors and windows cannot block out the crackling sound of firecrackers.
Lin Xiangyi was finally woken up several times.
But at least she did get some sleep. Xie Qingxiao, Xie's father, Xie's mother and others stayed up until five or six o'clock before going back to their room to sleep. After a short nap, they had to get up to prepare breakfast and so on.
Lin Xiangyi is very happy. She goes to bed the earliest and gets up the latest, and eats breakfast as soon as she gets up.
New Year, new atmosphere, everyone’s face is filled with relaxed and happy smiles.
Xie's father and mother were wearing new clothes, red, which looked very festive.
After Lin Shan praised them for a few words, he realized that their clothes were bought by Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. He felt jealous because he had no chance to buy new clothes.
He only dared to be jealous for a moment, and then eagerly handed Lin Xiangyi a red envelope: "Although you are married, you will always be a child in front of your father. This is the New Year's money your father gives you... Xiao also has some!"
"Happy New Year, and best wishes for prosperity," Lin Xiangyi took it without hesitation.
When Lin Shan saw Lin Xiangyi taking it, he immediately smiled.
Seeing Xie Qingxiao, he hurriedly called him: "Ah Xiao, come here."
Xie Qingxiao came over and was stuffed with a red envelope by Lin Shan. He looked at Lin Shan strangely.
"New Year's money!" Lin Shan said with a smile.
He wasn't as eager to please Xie Qingxiao as he was in front of Lin Xiangyi, but compared to when Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi had just gotten married, his attitude towards Xie Qingxiao was completely different.
Extremely gentle and approachable.
Xie Qingxiao was no longer as respectful to Lin Shan as before, but he still gave him some face, after all, he was Lin Xiangyi's biological father.
He glanced at Lin Xiangyi and saw that Lin Xiangyi had a red envelope in her hand. He finally accepted the red envelope and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Dad!"
Lin Shan turned around and gave red envelopes to others - of course, others' red envelopes were not as big as those given by Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.
Red envelopes were also given to Xie's father and mother, including to the younger generation, and to Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun, with ten yuan each.
Their generosity shocked Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun. But on second thought, Xie's father and mother paid Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi for their work, which was higher than their salary, so they were certainly not short of money.
When Brother Xie realized this, he felt extremely complicated.
Then, the money Xie's father and mother received as a tribute was more than in the previous two years. In previous years, they received thirty yuan, but this year they received fifty yuan.
When giving the money, Brother Xie asked Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi how much they gave.
Xie's father and mother replied, "Two hundred." One hundred each.
Brother Xie: “…”
Xie's father and mother knew that his self-esteem was a little hurt, but they still explained and comforted him.
Didn’t he think that they were biased towards Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi?
Then he should also know that their preference for Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi is not even half as much as their filial piety towards them!
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi had no plans on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but many people came to wish them a happy new year. Most of these people were doing business by purchasing goods from them, such as Grandma Liu and others.
Most of them came to the Xie family for the first time. When they saw the situation of the Xie family, they sighed that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were phoenixes that came out of the chicken coop.
Thank you, Father and Mother, they never expected that so many people would come to pay New Year's greetings. They were very happy and proud.
Lin Shan was also very fortunate that Lin Xiangyi was drugged by Xie Qingxiao, otherwise he really didn't know how to atone for his sins!
So he was busy helping to entertain guests and serve tea and water, and was more like the master of the Xie family than Xie's father and mother.
The second day of the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Pengfei and Xie Qingxiao were cleaning up the scraps of paper from yesterday's firecrackers. Lin Shan and Xie's father were sitting in the main room playing chess. Xie's mother, wearing an apron around her waist and holding a bowl of porridge, was watching from the side. She couldn't help but complain as she watched:
"Old man, you are such a fool. You just lost and you still cheated, making a fool of yourself for your in-laws!"
"How can I regret my move? I haven't even put it up yet... it was just a little bit short, in-laws, right?" Xie's father also felt guilty and went to Lin Shan for confirmation.
Lin Shan has a bad temper and is very straightforward. If he plays chess with his old friends and the other party dares to regret their move, he would get angry a long time ago.
But Xie's father didn't know how to play chess at all, so he was bored and asked Xie's father to teach him how to play.
Naturally, he didn't mind that his father regretted his move, and was very pleased that he saw the mistake: "Yes, it's my turn now."
“……” Mother Xie was speechless.
Turning around and seeing Lin Xiangyi getting up, he said, "How can your father, with his stupid head, learn to play chess? He always regrets his moves and loses every time! Your father must be bored and crazy, so he taught your father to play chess! He should go find the old village chief to play."
The old village chief is knowledgeable and is also a master of chess.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” Lin Shan was not actually an expert. Neighbors in the city and even his old friends were unwilling to play with him because he was too new.
I was just showing off in front of my father and mother who knew nothing about it.
"Dad, let me come and I will avenge you," said Lin Xiangyi.
"Oh? Okay." Father Xie was scratching his head, not knowing how to break the impasse. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and gave his seat to Lin Xiangyi.
Lin Shan: “…” Why did she help her father-in-law to bully him?
Lin Xiangyi is very good at chess. He doesn't give Lin Shan any slack and presses him everywhere.
In the end, Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei also came to watch. They saw that Lin Shan, who had been speaking so confidently in front of Xie's father, was beaten to a pulp by Lin Xiangyi, and they cheered.
Xie's father was extremely excited that he finally killed Lin Shan.
Mother Xie was excited: "Xiangyi, it turns out that you are the best among the best. You should go to the old village chief!"
Lin Shan, who lost several games in a row and looked disgraced, said: "..."
