During the meal, Jiang Xia placed a laptop on the table and turned on the video to ensure that the elders could see him.
Even if we couldn't go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, it's still considered a reunion.
As the only elder living away from home, Li Weiya naturally took on the task of taking care of the younger generation. Jiang Xia raised his glass and toasted his father-in-law via video. The adults were not afraid of him either, and they all enjoyed the meal.
"Dad, once I'm done with things here, Yanwan and I will come back to see you." Jiang Xia exhaled a breath of alcohol, her face flushed with a slightly intoxicated red, clearly a little tipsy.
"Give me a break. I've never seen you idle. If you still can't come back next year, your mother and I will come to your place for the New Year." Jiang Wende rolled his eyes.
“Okay, it would be best if they all came,” Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, waaaah, I miss you so much! And my sister too!" Xiaoman appeared in front of the camera, holding a big crab leg in her hand, munching on it with great relish.
"Hehehe, Xiaoman, I told you before, study hard. After you graduate from elementary school, your brother-in-law will transfer your school registration to the capital and you can live in my big house every day, okay?"
"Great job! Xiaoman has worked so hard, and she's ranked first in the whole grade again this semester!"
"Great! I'll reward Xiaoman with a big shrimp claw. But kids shouldn't drink alcohol, okay?" Jiang Xia peeled open the crab's claw and put the tender, white meat into his wife's bowl.
"Okay, brother-in-law~"
Afterwards, Wang Ming chatted with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Li Weiya also appeared in the video. This was the first time that the two sets of parents met in this way.
However, since Li Weiya was the second-in-command of a large company, Shen Ying's parents were somewhat reserved, mainly because Li Weiya controlled the conversation.
“Yingying’s parents, I’m so sorry that I couldn’t come home to talk to you in person this time. I will definitely visit you in person when I have time.”
"No, no, please don't say that. We are very touched by your thoughtfulness, given how busy you are. Now that we see Yingying is doing well with you, her father and I are not worried at all," Ye Qiuju quickly said.
Li Weiya smiled gently: "Father-in-law, basic etiquette is still necessary. When I have time, I'll bring the children home in person."
She looked at Shen Ying and said, "I really like Yingying. Thank you for raising such an outstanding daughter."
Shen Ying sat next to Wang Ming, feeling quite embarrassed by the praise.
After dinner, the family sat in front of the TV to watch the long-awaited Spring Festival Gala. Compared to their hometown, where fireworks and firecrackers cannot be set off, the New Year's Eve in the capital city naturally lacked the festive atmosphere.
Jiang Xia originally planned to set off some firecrackers in his yard to celebrate, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
He promised Jiang Wende that no matter how rich he became in the future, he would always be a law-abiding citizen.
This is the bottom line.
Instead of setting off firecrackers in the yard, why not set them off in bed with your wife?
Before we knew it, just after midnight, amidst the sounds of gunfire, the Tom and Jerry movie officially began its nationwide release.
