This year, because of the weaving group's affairs, none of the educated youth took leave to go home for the Spring Festival. None of them were married, and even if they had children, it wasn't easy for them living away from home. So, Aunt Wei arranged for Song Yan and Jiang Xiaoxiao to cook something delicious and invite them over for dinner on the afternoon of New Year's Eve.
Li Yuanzhao and the others came early to help; it wouldn't be right to arrive empty-handed during the Lunar New Year. Some carried candy, some melon seeds, and some pastries. Shen Hanyang made a hair ornament for Wei An, which Huang Guoqing dyed bright red from white cloth. The ornament was quite exquisite, with a vibrant and beautiful color. Wei Ping received a shuttlecock.
The four of them chatted and laughed as they headed towards Aunt Wei's house. He Jianian stood in the courtyard, watching their retreating figures. Why had she ever insisted on pursuing Wu Meili in the first place? If she hadn't gotten married, would she have been just as happy with them?
Ever since getting married, He Jianian hasn't been feeling well at all. He even went to see a doctor a few days ago. The doctor said he…
He Jianian felt that there were many things he couldn't understand. Moreover, he didn't dare to think about them too deeply or investigate them further.
"Jianian! Where have you been? Is dinner ready yet?" Wu Meili shouted in her loud voice, and He Jianian hurriedly went inside to start the fire.
He Jianian felt aggrieved; how had she ended up cooking for this stupid woman every day…
Li Yuanzhao and Shen Hanyang both helped with the cooking, which sped up the process considerably. The men, having nothing else to do, spent their time playing with the children.
The food was served in no time, and everyone's mouths watered.
The table was covered with delicious food.
Huang Guoqing: "Did your family cook all the meat that was allocated?"
"Is it New Year's already? We should act like it's New Year's." Song Yan said, taking out a bottle of hawthorn wine. She gave everyone a small wine cup. "Come on, let's all raise our glasses. The new year has begun! I wish everyone good health. Only with good health can we build our beautiful motherland." Song Yan wanted to say she wished everyone prosperity, but she didn't dare.
"Come on, let's have a drink together."
Li Yuanzhao sat next to Song Yan, and after drinking, she kept an eye on Song Yan.
Song Yan: "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Li Yuanzhao: "The you now is completely different from the you I first met. Before you got married, you were like a quail. Do you know what a quail looks like?"
What's going on? Jiang Xiaoxiao just said something similar not long ago. Have they discovered that their sheep's skin has been peeled away, revealing a wolf underneath?
Song Yan couldn't help but laugh. If he were a wolf, he was a kind one. So he wasn't afraid of losing his sheep's clothing.
"I went through so much last year. As for me? I was reborn from the ashes." Song Yan poured Li Yuanzhao another cup of wine and gestured for her to drink it all.
Song Yan, quick-witted, thought: Li Yuanzhao, you're the female lead from the original story! I hope you remain upright and kind. I don't want to fight with you.
