Chapter 379: The Bai Family’s New Year Ritual



Wang Lu hurriedly said, "No, mother, what good things are you going to give to your daughter-in-law this year?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and handed her the wooden box: "Open it and take a look. You and Shushu can each pick one you like."

"Thank you, Mom." Wang Lu is already familiar with the routine. She has been married for three years, and every year her parents-in-law would prepare New Year gifts for them.

This year's gift turned out to be jewelry. After opening it, she hurriedly said to Yun Shudai, "Sister-in-law, you choose first."

Yun Shudai hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, sister-in-law, you choose, I don't need it."

Bai Muyin put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Sister-in-law, there is an order of seniority. You choose first."

Wang Lu listened to Bai Muyin's words to protect Yun Shudai and curled her lips in amusement: "Muyin, your mouth is different from before."

Bai Muyin smiled but didn't answer. However, Yun Shudai refused after seeing the valuable jewels, saying, "This is not suitable. It's too expensive. I can't accept it."

Mrs. Bai sat beside them and said, "What's inappropriate about this, Shushu? Your uncle and I already treat you as a family member. You won't be so distant with us, will you?"

"It is my blessing to have such a harmonious family like my aunt, sister-in-law and brother. How can I be so distant? But these are two different things."

As soon as Yun Shudai finished speaking, Bai Muyin helped her pick out a pair of beautiful colorful round earrings from the box: "Shushu, this one suits you, what do you think, mom?"

"Well, these earrings are indeed suitable for Shushu. Shushu, since we are a family, that's one thing. Auntie has a lot of jewelry. These are bought when I usually attend some brand activities. Some are more colorful, suitable for you young people. Your sister-in-law usually wears professional clothes and rarely wears these gorgeous things. You two have different professions, so this kind of thing is suitable for you. I don't worry about not being able to give gifts to you in the future."

Yun Shudai glanced at her sister-in-law and found that she had chosen an exquisite necklace, which was just right for her with her everyday clothes.

Yun Shudai didn't act pretentiously anymore: "Thank you, Auntie."

After receiving the earrings, another person from Bai's father's side gave them a mobile phone, saying that the company had newly developed a product that had not yet been launched on the market.

Then, each of the brothers got a set of golf clubs. Bai Muwei looked at his brother and raised his eyebrows: "Last year, I gave him a baseball bat, and then he played baseball with my dad for a year. This year, I guess I will play golf with my dad."

Bai Muyin also laughed without commenting.

After the gift-giving session, Mr. Bai sat with them for a while and then took the two brothers to go fishing in the backyard.

The three women were drinking tea, eating dried fruits and chatting in the front yard.

Most of them were Mother Bai and Sister-in-law asking her about things about the crew.

For example, in "A Century-old Family", Mother Bai was very curious about the fire scene during filming and wondered whether the fire was real.

"Some of it is real, and some of it is special effects."

"I said, with such a big fire, how can people still film inside?"

My sister-in-law at the side said, "Shushu, was your playing of the suona a plot or was it intentional by the crew? It really amazed me."

"It was an emergency, so of course Chi Qingqing should have made some arrangements...but these are just my guesses."

Mrs. Bai said, "So it's possible. I thought it was arranged by the crew to make you play the erhu and suona to increase the popularity."

"I picked it up by accident. It just so happens that I have learned it before."

Wang Lu was surprised and asked, "Why do you want to learn suona? It takes a lot of effort."

"Artists naturally need to be versatile. I have learned a lot in private. Most of the instruments I learned are from our Xia country. I am determined to contribute to our traditional culture."

As expected of a daughter raised by the old Yun family, she is ambitious. Mrs. Bai likes her more and more now. (End of this chapter)
