Chapter 1296 The Most Complete New Year's Celebration
The shop was closed on Lunar New Year's Eve and would reopen after two days of closure.
This year, the Lu family was exceptionally lively during the Spring Festival, with everyone gathering together for New Year's Eve dinner at Shu Yu's house.
Not only the three wives, but also Lu Sixing's family.
Although Yuan Shanchuan's parents and brothers are still alive, they had severed ties with him earlier.
Knowing that Shu Yu had become the village head and that Yuan Shanchuan was increasingly valued by Lord Xiang, the Yuan family did consider trying to mend their relationship.
However, the village chief of Daxu Village, Chen, is different from the village chief of Ruanjia Village; he is clearly more farsighted and reliable.
Having promised Yuan Shanchuan that he would keep an eye on the Yuan family, he truly did keep an eye on Yuan's parents. Even when they tried to take advantage of their age and act unreasonably, Village Chief Chen managed to suppress them.
Yuan Shanchuan knew he had a peaceful life ahead of him, thanks to him.
Therefore, in return, he would inform the government of any news he heard in advance.
Putting aside everything else, just take the last time Shu Yu's workshop was recruiting workers, Yuan Shanchuan had someone pass on a message to Village Chief Chen.
More than ten people from Daxu Village came to "interview" at the time, and Shu Yu actually selected three hardworking and qualified villagers to work in the workshop.
With someone like Village Chief Chen, Daxu Village will only get better and better in the future.
Therefore, during the Lunar New Year, Yuan Shanchuan only gave a New Year's gift to Village Chief Chen and did not go back.
Meng Yunzheng came with Xiao Song Le, and Shu You came with her newlywed husband Zhao Xi and Doctor Zhao.
Cuihua and her family of three also came. Normally, they should go back to her husband's family home for the New Year. But she preferred the atmosphere at the Lu family home, and after discussing it with Lai Jinhai, they decided to stay in the county town for the New Year before going back.
The Lai family was naturally unhappy, but Lai Jinhai had worked with Lu Erbai all over the place this year and earned a lot of money. Before the New Year, he bought a lot of things and brought back a bottle of sunflower oil that was said to be very expensive and two catties of melon seeds.
Lai's in-laws, feeling obligated to help, and also hoping that Cuihua would maintain closer ties with her family, convinced themselves that since the Lu family rarely had a large family reunion, they should let them have their way this time. Then, happily, they took the new New Year's clothes Cuihua had made for them and went home.
On New Year's Eve, the Lu family set up three tables for their New Year's Eve dinner, not including the Lu family's servants.
Everyone was having a great time, and the children were especially cheerful and laughing.
Zhao Xi bought fireworks for the twins last year, and this year there were even more children. He and Meng Yunzheng practically carried a huge basket of fireworks back with them.
The children went crazy. The twins had played with them last year and were experienced. They showed off all sorts of fireworks to others, which made them very proud.
As the fireworks soared into the sky, the children screamed and jumped for joy.
Even the adults couldn't resist the urge and secretly took a few fireworks to play with.
After all, their families were poor when they were young, and none of them had the spare money or ability to buy these things.
Looking at the family, the old lady happily drank two glasses of wine, leaned against Shuyu, and her eyes reddened slightly. "Shuyu, I'm really happy today. Everyone is here, and you're here too. How wonderful."
Shu Yu hugged her, saying, "May you be this happy every day from now on."
"Mmm." The old lady nodded heavily. Perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, she also got up to get some fireworks to play with.
It's just that I'm getting old, and I get drowsy after a while.
Shu Yu asked Hua Xian to help her back to her room to rest, while the others stayed behind to keep vigil for the New Year.
The children couldn't stay still; they played until they were tired and then fell asleep, leaving the rest of us to enjoy this peaceful yet lively evening.
