Ye Li had lunch at the Fu family's old house and even played a few rounds of mahjong with Old Madam Fu.
The sun had just begun to dip westward when Old Madam Fu urged her to go back, "Go back quickly, or you won't be able to leave when there are more people."
The Fu family is large and powerful.
Normally, only Madam Fu and Xiao Bao live in the old house.
But when the holidays come around, everyone, big and small, comes back.
In addition, everyone had just received their year-end bonuses, and the amount they received was quite pleasing. Fu Yanci was rarely seen, and the only opportunity to flatter and praise him was at the family banquet on New Year's Eve.
"grandmother……"
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
With a smile, Madam Fu magically pulled two thick red envelopes from her pocket and handed them to Ye Li. "One is for you, and the other is for your little grass... Don't worry about coming back to spend the first, second, and third days of the lunar new year with your grandmother tomorrow. Just remember to come back on the fifteenth to eat tangyuan with your grandmother and celebrate Xiao Bao's birthday."
"Grandmother, you are so kind!"
Ye Li threw herself into Madam Fu's arms and pleaded, "No way! Next time Fu Yanci goes to Wanfu Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures, I want to go too. How can 112 years old be enough? Grandmother has to live to 199!"
Even though she knew the little girl was just saying it to make her happy, Madam Fu still smiled with a face full of wrinkles.
Who doesn't like a sweet and soft girl?
But the children in the family are all mischievous, some are naughty and some are shameful.
behave in a spoiled manner?
Oh my, it's been so many years since we've had such a lovable little girl.
Once again, I felt that it was an extremely wise and proud thing for me to have taken a liking to Xiaolizi at first sight at that blind date banquet.
Madam Fu looked at Fu Yanci, who was drinking tea with a smile on his lips, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Go to the ancestral hall to offer incense tomorrow morning. I can finally give you an account of what you did this year! This is the only decent thing you've done all year."
? ? ?
Look at Ye Li being held in her grandmother's arms.
Let's think about what Grandmother just said again.
Fu Yanci smiled slightly, "Grandmother, I have no objection to you praising Ali, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to belittle your own grandson like this?"
In response to him was Madam Fu's loving words of advice to Ali to have a good New Year, to send her best wishes to Li Xueqing, and to repeatedly instruct the housekeeper to put the New Year's gifts in the back of the car.
Fu Yanci: ...! ! !
The Maybach drove out of the alley, and Ye Li made a phone call to the driver and then dialed Lu Xiaoxiao's number.
After Fu Yanci sat for a short while and left, Ye Li stood outside the villa for a while and then saw the Ye family's Mercedes-Benz.
"Pear, how can you be so kind?"
As soon as she got out of the car, Lu Xiaoxiao rushed over and gave Ye Li a big hug. She laughed and said, "You're so thoughtful. I'll be too embarrassed to come again."
"Well, this isn't the first time. Now that you know the place, just take a taxi next time!"
Ye Li smiled as she looked at Xie Yunkai, who had followed her.
Because of the holiday, both of them wore new clothes.
Xie Yunkai was dressed in a sharp suit, and he had lost some of his boyishness but gained more of the handsome and upright appearance of a young man.
They were also carrying gifts for their visit.
When Xie Yunkai met Ye Li, he smiled brightly, just like he used to at the Starry Sky Apartment, "Ye Li, long time no see!"
From his gaze and demeanor to the feeling he evoked, he was still the same Xie Yunkai as before.
The photo from the bar flashed through her mind. Ye Li greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see! Come in!"
Before getting on the bus, her palms were sweaty with nervousness, but almost as soon as she stepped inside, all of Lu Xiaoxiao's unease vanished.
Li Xueqing and Aunt Lan smiled gently, "Xiaoxiao, can you make dumplings?"
Lan Lan and her boyfriend seemed to get along well too. "Xiao Xiao, you and your boyfriend are such a good match! Seeing you two makes me want to eat an extra bowl of rice tonight."
Needless to say, Ye Li is another story.
They exchanged a reassuring glance, and Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Yunkai went from taking off their coats and changing into slippers to rolling up their sleeves and joining the New Year's Eve dinner preparation team in one smooth motion.
Before seven o'clock, a group of people sat down in the living room in a lively atmosphere.
Eating.
Drinking.
They chatted.
Making a fuss.
As soon as the gala began, the atmosphere in the living room seamlessly switched between a sea of joy and a roast session.
When the doorbell rang, the group of people who had been drinking were all startled.
Li Xueqing was the first to react, "Ali, go open the door quickly."
Outside the gate, Fu Yanci stood tall with a smile in his eyes.
Why are you here?
She took his arm and entered the courtyard, her eyes sparkling. "You're the head of the family. Is it alright if you're not here?"
"It is only because I am the head of the family that I am not here."
As I moved closer to the girl, I could smell the faint aroma of red wine in my breath.
Holding Ye Li's hand, Fu Yanci looked into her eyes and said, "Ali, this is the first Spring Festival we've spent together. For the rest of my life, I will be with you every New Year's Eve and every festival. Wherever you are, that's where our home is."
"Isn't it about where you are and where your home is?"
"No, Ali, it's you!"
I feel dizzy and disoriented. I don't know if it's because I drank too much or because the man's words were too sweet and I was charmed again.
Ye Li blinked, staring blankly at Fu Yanci, thinking that he looked exceptionally handsome today.
As the clock struck midnight, a large group of people stood together in the spacious backyard.
Firecrackers went off in unison.
Fireworks filled the sky.
Everywhere was filled with laughter and joy.
After the fireworks ended and we returned to the living room, the party was over.
Li Xueqing waved goodbye to Aunt Lan, saying she couldn't hold on any longer.
The living room was quiet for a moment, then became lively again.
