After the English dance ended, everyone took their seats.
The eldest uncle, sitting at the head of the table, had a white beard and a ruddy complexion. He held a large bowl and looked at the villagers with a smile.
"Our Shenjia Village has a history of over 1000 years. Through generations of change and hardship, our lives are getting better and better. This is inseparable from the hard work of everyone in the village. In the new year, our Shenjia Village will become better and better, more and more prosperous, and there will be more and more children. Happy New Year!!!"
Everyone raises their glasses, Happy New Year!!!
The stage was soon filled with performers, and a grand opera began.
Today's performer is none other than Green Narcissus, a renowned actress from eastern Guangdong. This grand performance alone cost 1 million yuan. It was practically a steal! Everyone wants to reunite on New Year's Eve, and if you want to hire a famous opera singer, you can't just leave without spending a fortune.
"Sisi, eat this. It's all from a chef we hired, and they use the best ingredients. Little Fatty, Linlin, Xiaomei, you guys eat too, eat more. Auntie wishes you all a happy new year, that you become more and more beautiful and younger. Come on, have a drink."
After everyone had a drink, Chen Huilin also raised her glass and looked at everyone.
"In the new year, I wish everyone all the best and that all your wishes come true."
Little Fatty continued, "I wish everyone good health and lasting happiness."
Gwei Lun-mei continued, "I wish everyone a joyous and prosperous Year of the Sheep."
Finally, Liu Qianqian concluded: "I wish everyone good fortune and prosperity."
Shen Tianliang smiled and said, "Good, good, that's what you said. Come on, everyone, cheers!"
Everyone drank a toast.
Shen Fang raised his wine glass to his father and mother: "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year. I can't be by your side often, nor can I spend more time with you. As the old saying goes, 'While parents are alive, one should not travel far.' I am somewhat unfilial as a son."
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Yue'e looked at Shen Fang with great displeasure, saying such things during the New Year.
“Son, you’re destined for great things. So many people rely on you for their livelihood. Your father and I are not old, and we’re healthy. We have everything we need. You don’t need to keep us company. Just focus on your work. Your father and I will always support you.”
Shen Tianliang nodded: "Yes, your mother is right. Some people are born with their own mission. I hope you have a successful career and fulfill your dreams. Let's have a toast."
Shen Fang smiled and nodded, and the family of three clinked glasses.
Shen Fang also saw his grandson as his most trusted and capable assistant.
"Xiao Kun, you've put in a lot of effort and suffered a lot these past few years, doing a lot for me. But as long as your great-uncle has food to eat, you won't go hungry."
Shen Kun chuckled and said, "Uncle, we don't need to struggle for a meal anymore. We're all big shots now. Following you was the best decision I ever made. Let's have a drink together."
The two clinked glasses. Although they often drank together, today was different. Shen Fang would not normally say such things.
Shen Fang's most trusted people are definitely Shen Kun, Zhong Lifang, Xu Xin, Huang Bin, Chang Lihong, Li Haibo, and others. Although they are all very loyal, they were bought with money. Shen Kun, on the other hand, is someone who has been fighting alongside him since the early days of his career. Those who follow him are also from the same village, share the same surname, or are close relatives.
Therefore, Shen Fang would never hide anything from Shen Kun. Although Shen Kun didn't hold a specific position and didn't receive a salary, he was Shen Fang's representative.
