Grandma Yan was handing out red envelopes until her hands were sore, but luckily Yu Shu was there to help, so no one was left out. Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of her. He knelt on one knee in front of Grandma Yan and said, "Grandma, I've brought the children to see you."
Grandma Yan quickly handed him the red envelope and greeted the middle-aged man in front of her happily. Anyway, there were so many people like this that she couldn't tell who was who.
"How many people did you bring, Yushu? Look how many there are, quickly give them red envelopes," Grandma Yan said happily.
"Grandma, don't you recognize me? I'm Yan Ge. This is Yuan Zhaodi, and these are my three children. Oh, and my parents-in-law and two brothers-in-law are here too," Yan Ge said, sounding somewhat hurt.
Yan Ge, what a familiar name! Grandma Yan thought for a moment before remembering, and said happily, "Yan Ge, you're here too! Have your parents come yet?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around fell silent. Yan Ge broke out in a cold sweat. Originally, Yan Erqiang had been forced to come to Shanghai by Yan Ge, but he escaped just before boarding the plane.
The airport loudspeakers were already calling everyone to board the plane. Yan Ge couldn't possibly leave such a large family behind to chase after Yan Erqiang, so he could only board the plane with resentment.
I never expected that my grandmother wouldn't recognize me. No wonder, she's over ninety years old and hasn't seen me for years, so of course she would forget me. But even in her old age, she still cares about her son.
“Grandma, my dad was supposed to come with me, but he suddenly felt unwell and couldn’t take the plane, so he said he’ll come to see you when he has time,” Yan Ge said, forcing a smile.
Grandma Yan nodded with some disappointment. To hide her sadness, she greeted the strict children with a smile and asked Yu Shu to give them red envelopes, but tears were unknowingly falling from her eyes.
Enming, sitting opposite, saw everything Grandma Yan did clearly. He knew that his great-grandmother was his mother's most precious person, and therefore his own most precious person. How could he allow anyone to bully her?
Two beams of golden light shot directly into Yan Ge's eyes. Yan Xiaonan saw her grandmother crying and felt heartbroken. She glanced at Yan Ge with some disdain. Honestly, he either doesn't come at all, or he makes his grandmother angry as soon as he does.
Her divine aura enveloped Grandma Yan and Ye Ren. One was heartbroken because her son hadn't come, and the other was saddened by the departure of his beloved wife. Both were grieving, so naturally, she had to take good care of them.
Fortunately, Yan Xiaonan possessed the aura of the Mountain God. When she realized that Enming had already made a move, the aura of the Mountain God immediately rushed towards Enming and blocked Enming's glare.
"Ye Enming!"
Yan Xiaonan's stern shout startled Enming. Seeing her mother's harsh gaze, she lowered her head. Oh no, she had forgotten her mother's advice not to hurt people with her eyes.
Ye Ren and the others only realized that the little guy had almost caused trouble again when they heard Yan Xiaonan's stern shouts. Fortunately, he could be sent up the mountain to study after the New Year, otherwise it would have been a real headache.
Yan Ge had no idea that his eyes had almost been blinded by En Ming. He just felt embarrassed. He had originally wanted to bring his father to see his grandmother, but his good intentions had backfired.
Ye Ren didn't want Grandma Yan to dwell on these rotten people and things, so he took a deep breath, picked up his wine glass, and stood up. As soon as he stood up, the whole room fell silent.
"Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. We are gathered together in joy and happiness. Let's all raise our glasses and toast to today, to tomorrow, and to the future."
"cheers"
Everyone raised their glasses in Ye Ren's direction. Yan Ge also quickly led the children back to their seats, picked up his glass, and drank the wine with tears in his eyes.
The waiters began serving the dishes: Crystal River Shrimp, Crispy Duck, Peking Duck, Shanghai Smoked Fish, Crab Feast, Pine Nut Mandarin Fish, Cherry Foie Gras, Crab Roe Tofu Casserole, Shanghai-Style Eel Strips, Shanghai Fried Shrimp, Shanghai Smoked Pomfret, Shanghai-Style Jellyfish Head, Black Gold Snowflake Beef Cubes...
One dish after another was served. The two strict brothers-in-law didn't dare to reach for the food in front of them, but his two sons and daughter ate with great relish.
"Dad, Aunt's New Year's Eve dinner was so delicious! Can we come again next year? And why are there so many people at Aunt's house?" the youngest son asked.
"I probably won't be able to come again next year. Also, we're leaving tomorrow. Don't forget to say goodbye to Great-Grandma then." Yan Ge lowered his head dejectedly, the delicious food on the table no longer appealing to him.
Yan Zheng walked over. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. Seeing Yan Zheng, Yan Ge's spirits lifted: "Brother, how are you doing? Are you alright?"
Yan Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "I'm doing pretty well now that I'm following Brother Aiguo. And I visit Grandma every year whenever I have time, so don't worry."
"Brother, was my choice wrong back then? I made a fortune through Nan Nan, but then I ran away to my hometown to develop my career. I haven't dared to contact them for so many years. Am I an ingrate?" Yan Ge was somewhat delirious.
“Brother, your problem is that you take yourself too seriously. Nan Nan never cares about gains and losses. As long as you do things seriously and are a good person, she will help anyone. Because in her heart, family is the most important thing.” Yan Zheng left after saying this.
Yan Ge was still pondering Yan Zheng's words when his father-in-law finally spoke up: "Take some time to have a good talk with your sister. Don't worry about gains and losses or saving face. Your face is not as important as your sister's children. What are you still worried about?"
strict:"... ..."
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was particularly grand and lively. Every guest was reluctant to leave and hoped to participate again next year. However, Yan Xiaonan knew that this might be the last time Ye Ren was willing to attend.
After everyone left, Ye Ren took Ye Huili and Ye Chenming to a jazz bar. Yan Xiaonan was worried about Ye Ren's health, so she simply brought her family along to join in the fun.
The renowned jazz band began their performance, and Ye Ren was captivated by their undiminished passion. He whispered a few words in Ye Chenming's ear, and Ye Chenming nodded and left.
The stage suddenly went dark, and when the lights came on, everyone saw Ye Chenming sitting in front of the drum set, Ye Ren sitting in front of the piano, and Ye Huili holding a violin.
