"Okay, let's go then!"
Suning packed the gifts he was bringing together and took them with him.
When the whole family arrived home, they were greeted warmly once again.
We've all missed each other terribly since we last saw each other.
Grandma was most concerned about the couple's health, and she took their pulses as soon as she arrived.
"Not bad, keep it up! No matter how busy you are with work, remember to take care of your health!"
"Okay, we're all keeping an eye on things! Are Uncle and Aunt doing well?"
"Everything's fine! Hahahaha."
The family chatted enthusiastically, showing no signs of awkwardness despite not having seen each other for over ten years.
The elders adored Bai Zhihe, showering him with warm greetings and presenting him with a pile of gifts that he couldn't even hug.
The boy was so happy he could hardly see his eyes, and his sweet talk kept the elders laughing.
Mr. Xiao liked him very much and gave him all the rare books he had treasured for many years.
After the meal, Sister Liu was cleaning up in the kitchen, looking on with envy at the happy family.
Bai Yajing noticed her unusual expression as soon as she entered the kitchen. She knew in her heart that she missed her daughter.
"Sister Liu, Xiaofang is back this year too. Why don't you invite her over so we can celebrate the New Year together?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Liu was startled and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, how can this be!"
Bai Yajing smiled as she helped her clean up the washed dishes.
"Sister Liu, do you miss your daughter?"
Sister Liu's face fell. "I want to..."
"That settles it! You've been with us for so many years, we're practically family now."
What's this talk of success or failure? I already told you, she just came back this year. Although she has a job, she hasn't been assigned a room yet, and living in the dormitory is so inconvenient.
Let her stay at home! Besides, how can you bear to let her spend the New Year alone in her dorm?
Since she had already said all that, Sister Liu couldn't refuse any longer. Her nose tingled with emotion. "Ya Jing, thank you!"
Your whole family are good people! You've never treated me like a servant!
Even live-in nannies have their own circles; her girlfriends all envy her, as she seems to have a comfortable and easy life.
Her family always saw her as someone who had a job to do, and they would do it whenever they saw it, never thinking that she should do everything herself.
They never looked at the ledger she kept for grocery shopping; they trusted her completely.
She has her food, clothing, and shelter all taken care of, and she has nowhere to spend her monthly salary.
Bai Yajing hugged her loosely, "What servant? She's not some landlord or rich man from the old society!"
We're family, no need for formalities! This afternoon, Jinyu will drive you to pick up Xiaofang!
"Mmm...okay!"
...
As the year draws to a close, the house is bustling with activity as relatives and friends visit each other to exchange New Year's gifts. Bai Yajing has also given New Year's gifts to her close relatives and friends.
Lin Huan's life is getting better and better; she has a happy family and everything goes smoothly.
The same goes for Xiao Ying's family. She continued working for Grandpa Gao, where the work was easy and the pay was high. At the end of the year, Bai Yajing gave everyone else a big red envelope, and she was included as well.
Liu Meiling is now enjoying success in both her career and family life, and her smile never falters when she delivers gifts.
When she saw her uncle again, she was happy and greeted the whole family warmly.
Even Zhao Liang and Ma Pingchuan's lives are getting better and better. They adopted Ma Chenxi, which made their lives much more lively.
Godmother and godfather lived a very smooth life. Their son had excellent grades and was admitted to a good university. The whole Pei family was harmonious and happy.
The next day, Xiao Che took his whole family to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery to sweep the tomb of his grandfather.
The younger uncle and aunt made Bai Zhihe kowtow to the old man several times.
Things happened so fast back then that the couple couldn't make it back in time.
While busy with their work, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao told Mr. Xiao about the things that had happened in their family this year.
Several elders were somewhat saddened.
