Han Jun subconsciously retorted: "It's because you guys are clumsy!"
Han Zheng also rolled up his sleeves and quit, "I quit, I quit, you're the best!"
After cursing, the three siblings looked at each other and suddenly started laughing again.
Xu Qian, Li Ao, and Zhou Wei stood in the distance, helplessly watching the scene. Xu Qian and Li Ao both had nostalgic expressions on their faces. Zhou Wei asked them, "Brothers-in-law, has Han Zheng always been like this with his two sisters since they were young?"
Li Ao nodded, "Yeah."
Xu Qian told Zhou Wei: "The three siblings love to fight each other. When they're around, there's no peace and quiet."
This New Year's Eve was especially lively at the Han family's home. Han Yueyun and his wife came from Sunshin City, and Han Wangwang and his wife Jiang Zhen also came. Despite all their precautions, their daughter Jiang Sheng was ultimately taken away by Yan Jinyu from the Yan Jiang family.
The couple gave birth to a lovely daughter named Yan Jiaojiao three years ago.
Jiang Zhen's son, Jiang Qing, is unmarried. He's a workaholic with no interest in romance, or perhaps he hasn't met the right person yet. Jiang Qing and his brother-in-law, Yan Jinyu, have had a feud since childhood, and their relationship remains strained, with frequent taunts.
Han Yueyun's youngest son, Han Che (Han Junjun), is also married. His wife is a university professor, and they have an 18-year-old son, Han Yu, who is studying abroad and didn't come home this year. The couple also came with their parents to celebrate the Lunar New Year at their younger cousin, Han Zhan's, home.
Han Rang and Nan Yanyan also came. Their daughter Han Yishan became an archaeological expert and went to work in Xi'an. She would not be back until the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Song Fei and Yan Jiang arrived at Yulong Villa just before the New Year's Eve dinner.
After retiring from the Public Security Bureau, Yan Jiang returned to his old profession and became an actor. When he was young, his handsome appearance limited his acting career. Now that he is old and has no idol image, he starred in a historical film five years ago and unexpectedly won the Best Actor award.
Yan Jiang was recording the Spring Festival Gala in Kyoto yesterday, so he and Song Fei were the last to arrive at the Han family.
The whole family must have more than 20 people. Fortunately, Han Zhan's restaurant was large enough that more than 20 people could sit at two tables without feeling crowded.
Han Zhan was really happy and drank a lot of wine during the banquet. After the New Year's Eve dinner, Han Zhan was also drunk.
After dinner, Li Ao and his wife took Li Yuanzhi back to their villa halfway up the mountain to have a reunion dinner with Li Li and Su Beibei. Han Rang and Nan Yanyan also returned to the orphanage to spend the New Year with the children.
Qu Pangui wanted to set off firecrackers, but Han Zhan was drunk and couldn't accompany Qu Pangui to play, so he asked Yan Jiang and Song Fei to take Qu Pangui to set off fireworks.
The Han family purchased a lot of environmentally friendly fireworks. Qu Pangui arranged the fireworks in a row. The bold girl followed Yan Jiang and others to light the fireworks.
Bang, bang, bang—
That night, fireworks on Yulong Mountain rang out until midnight.
Han Zhan sobered up and sat on a bench by the swimming pool, wrapped in his military coat, feeling the cold wind, holding a thermos cup in his hand, and his beloved woman sitting next to him.
Han Zhan looked at the descendants in the yard with a gentle gaze. He held Song Ci's hand, placed it on his thigh, patted it, and sighed, "Ci Bao!"
When he got older, Han Zhan rarely called it Song Dynasty porcelain.
Song Ci is 10 years younger than Han Zhan and is 58 years old this year. It is no longer appropriate for Han Zhan to call her Cibao. Calling her old woman makes her seem too old, and calling her mother doesn't feel intimate enough. Most of the time, he calls her Song Song.
When Song Ci heard the call of "Cibao", she raised her head and looked at Han Zhan calmly. "Why are you suddenly so cheesy? What do you want to do?"
Han Zhan seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he just put Song Ci's hand to his lips and kissed it, and said with some emotion: "Thinking carefully about my life, everything seems to have changed amazingly since I met you."
"I can't imagine what my life would be like without you."
Song Ci rarely thinks about her previous life anymore. She knows what life would be like for Han Zhan without her.
He will be alone for the rest of his life.
Song Ci lied. She said, "Then you will probably meet another girl who suits your taste, marry her, and have children."
Han Zhan shook his head when he heard this.
"No." His gray-blue eyes looked a little old, but his gaze on Song Ci was full of affection. Han Zhan rested his forehead against Song Ci's and said, "You are the one I will pursue through all the ups and downs of the universe. Without you, I can't be happy."
Song Ci felt a hint of sweetness.
She looked at the fireworks blooming above her head, leaned on the man's shoulder, and said, "Han Zhan, try to live another twenty years, and I will accompany you to travel all over China. When the day comes that you can't walk anymore and want to stop and rest, I will accompany you too."
She wanted to accompany Han Zhan to sleep every night, and also wanted to accompany Han Zhan to rest in peace.
Han Zhan understood Song Ci's hint. He held Song Ci's hand and promised her: "Okay!"
"Grandpa! Do you want to fly Kongming lanterns with grandma?" Qu Pangui held an electronic Kongming lantern and stood in the distance, calling them to go fly Kongming lanterns together.
Han Zhan pulled Song Ci to his feet and said, "Let's go and release the Kongming lanterns."
"Grandpa, make a wish before you fly a Kongming lantern!"
"Know!"
Everyone took up a pen and wrote down their wishes on a piece of paper, hid it in a Kongming lantern, and then released the lanterns one by one.
The Kongming lanterns flying into the sky are like stars, guiding the homeless souls on the land of China to find their way home.
Qu Pangui asked Han Zhan, "Grandpa, what are you writing?"
Han Zhan pondered for a moment before saying, "The rivers are clear and the seas are peaceful, and the mountains and rivers will last forever."
This was my grandfather’s greatest wish in his life, and it was also Han Zhan’s greatest wish.
Han Zhan patted his granddaughter's pigtails and asked her, "What about you, Pan Gui?"
Pan Gui smiled, then raised his fist and said, "Climb the highest mountain, drink the strongest wine, and date the most handsome boy!"
"Hahaha!"
