[A New Year Special Unrelated to the Main Text]
[Modern setting, parallel world side story]
Happy New Year.
According to the custom of Fantuan's family, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, married sons must return to their parents' home to visit and bring gifts for their elderly mothers.
So early in the morning, the widowed elderly mother began preparing food.
I originally thought that, given the personalities of my sons-in-law, they wouldn't arrive until after midnight at the earliest.
As a result, the doorbell rang at seven o'clock in the morning.
Fantuan, who had just finished washing up, turned around and opened the door. At a glance, she saw the adorable Xiaohuayu.
"Mom, Happy Chinese New Year~" The little flower fairy, dressed in a koi fish sweater, placed a bunch of roses in Fantuan's hands.
"Why are you here so early?" Rice Ball took the flower and reached out to pat the little flower fairy's head.
He quickly called Qi Fuyan, who was carrying large and small bags from the car, to come in.
"Xiao Yu said she would come to help you make dumplings and cook. Our home is quite far away, so we set off at five o'clock." As she spoke, she took off her suit jacket and put it on the hanger.
He rolled up his shirt sleeves and said with a smile, "I'll knead the dough."
"Mom, I'll peel the rice." Hua Yu took Fantuan's hand and they went to the kitchen happily.
… …
At eight o'clock, the doorbell rang again.
The rice ball left Huayu to make dumplings, and then she washed her hands and went to open the door.
At a glance, four people were seen standing outside, their swords drawn.
Jin Fu and Gu Qingfei are in the same group.
Lin Yuan and Si Jin are in the same group.
Gu Qingfei took a bunch of blue roses.
Si Jin took a cup of Louis XIV.
"Oh, you're here pretty early." Gu Qingfei glanced at Si Jin a few times and said smugly, "But your flowers aren't as pretty as mine. Mom will definitely use my flowers to decorate the room today."
Rice ball: ...
Rice Ball: "Um, actually..."
Si Jin snorted coldly and snapped her fingers.
In an instant, Gu Qingfei's bouquet of flowers was burned to ashes.
Jin Fu quickly threw away the flowers in the other person's hand and brushed the sparks off his suit.
During this brief moment, Si Jin had already delivered the flowers to Fantuan.
With a slight smile, he said, "Louis XIV, I'll help you set the table and the room."
After saying that, he pulled Lin Yuan into the house.
Gu Qingfei: ...
Because he and Si Jin share some similarities in personality.
There have been some minor conflicts in the past.
Therefore, when they bump into each other, they always confront each other head-on.
Unable to decorate the room, Gu Qingfei went to the kitchen to help make dumplings.
Hua Yu blushed and even stammered as she was coaxed with all sorts of fancy dumplings.
Gu Qingfei chuckled and said, "Little Yu Yu, you're so cute! Why do you blush so easily when I tease you?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think I did something to you..."
"Gu Qingfei!"
"Gu Qingfei!"
The flamboyant Gu Kongque was suddenly yelled at by Jin Fu and Qi Fuyan.
She immediately coughed awkwardly, glanced at Jin Fu in a flustered manner, and was quite worried about her back.
Well, he's the weakest; he can't afford to offend anyone.
If I had known, I wouldn't have been so sarcastic.

… …
At noon, the meal was finally ready.
The whole family sat happily in the living room, except for Yu Yan and Qing Yun.
Having run out of options, and fearing it would delay lunchtime, Fantuan had no choice but to call Yuyan himself.
The phone rang five times before Qingyun answered.
"I'm sorry, Mom, Yan Yan is used to sleeping in. He usually doesn't wake up until 2 PM. I'm getting him dressed right now, we..."
"Mom, give me the phone." Si Jin took the phone willingly, her voice gentle: "Yan Yan?"
A simple sound immediately woke Yu Yan, who was still in bed.
"Brother, I'm up!"
"Brother, I've got the gift!"
"Brother, I'm off!"
In just ten seconds, I heard the sound of the car starting from the other side.
Si Jin gave a satisfied "hmm," and gently reminded him, "Thirty minutes, or the food will get cold."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
As a result, less than twenty minutes later, Yu Yan and Qing Yun rang the doorbell.
Upon entering, the little vampire deliberately avoided Si Jin and sat down next to Fantuan.
"Mom~ I want to eat dumplings~"
"I...I...I still want to eat the dish next to my brother!"
"Yan Yan is too scared to get it herself, can you feed her?"
"Okay." Rice Ball decisively turned the table around, moving the dishes next to Si Jin to Yu Yan's side.
Patting the little darling's head: "What else do you want to eat? Tell Mommy."
"Mom, you're the best!"
Therefore, Yu Yan didn't have to do anything every year.
I get to eat the most delicious food every year.
Hua Yu likes to eat vegetarian food, and Qi Fuyan always manages to get a table at the table.
Gu Qingfei loves sweets, and Jin Fu always manages to get a sweet spot on the table whenever he turns around.
The rice ball seemed to have noticed something was wrong; it seemed like everyone was able to get their favorite dish every time.
Moreover, there will be no conflict.
These dishes seem to be categorized according to individual tastes.
This year's platter should be set by... Si Jin and Lin Yuan...
Fantuan turned her gaze to her eldest son and son-in-law, her expression warm and gentle.
They did it.
So, when everyone left at night, Fantuan gave Sijin and Linyuan big red envelopes.
As a reward.
The money for the red envelopes also included some from Gu Qingfei.
Every year, Gu Qingfei would sneak Fantuan into a small room when no one was looking and secretly slip her a bunch of bank cards.
He was said to be the most troublesome, yet he couldn't bring himself to admit his mistakes.
He had no choice but to have Fantuan apologize to Sijin on his behalf and express his gratitude.
The rice ball was incredibly wicked; it told Si Jin about it.
So, as Si Jin left, she deliberately waved the red envelope in her hand at Gu Qingfei and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I've taken your apology. I'll give you another one next year."
Gu Qingfei's face turned bright red instantly.
"Aaaaaaah!?"
Why?
Gu Qingfei is socially dead every day!

I've seen so many of you asking for more updates, but I won't be able to add any this year for the Lunar New Year, so I'll just write a short side story set in a parallel world.
Of course, Qingfei is the Qingfei after her rebirth, but she has memories of her past life in the extra chapters.
Therefore, he was also thanking and apologizing to Si Jin.
Thank you, Si Jin, for allowing the matchmaker to bring him and Jin Fu back together. I also apologize to Si Jin for the mistakes I made in the past.
Consider it making up for a regret.
May everyone have a lively and harmonious Lunar New Year!
