Seeing Li Yan's actions and expressions, Li Jia couldn't help but feel a surge of amusement. This young Li Yan was incredibly cool; no wonder girls at school were always bothering him. He was already a handsome young man, and with his occasional aloof and cool demeanor, it would be a wonder he didn't charm all those girls!
Li Yan's explanation left Angel speechless for a long time. Seeing everyone still smiling, she cautiously asked, "Do you mean that finding this coin means I'll have a lot of good fortune in the new year?"
Amidst everyone's nods, Angel couldn't resist hugging the scorpion beside her and giving it a big kiss on the cheek. Then she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating, looking as if she hadn't eaten in years. Finally, her hard work paid off. After eating more than half of the second plate of dumplings, the sound she had been hoping for finally came from her mouth. To find the coin, Angel had eaten until she was completely stuffed. In her words, she had eaten until the food was almost up to her throat. She felt as if a gentle pat on her stomach would make the dumplings pop out of her mouth.
The New Year's Eve dinner, a reunion dinner, was originally going to be a bit of a disappointment, but Xiaoyue's sudden appearance made it all the more perfect. Because they ate too much at the reunion dinner, the planned dance party was also canceled at the last minute. The idea that it's not good to do strenuous exercise after a meal was perfectly supported at this time.
After everyone finished their meal, they naturally exchanged small gifts. As the eldest, Li Jia had already prepared red envelopes and distributed them to everyone. Originally, she planned to give these red envelopes to everyone when the New Year's bell rang and she wished them a Happy New Year. However, due to Xiao Yue's sudden appearance, Li Jia forgot about the red envelopes and only remembered them now. But good things come to those who wait. Seeing everyone holding red envelopes, Li Jia felt extremely satisfied, even though there wasn't much money in those red envelopes.
Staying up all night on New Year's Eve and twisting and turning on New Year's Day—these oldest traditions are perfectly embodied today. Li Xiaoqing, Li Xiaotong, Li Xiaoyue, and Li Yan set up a mahjong table. Since Li Xiaoqing wasn't very familiar with it, Zhou Xiaoyu played with her. Both of them were novices, but they had a great time playing together.
Li Jia and Meng Yao chatted in the study, while Angel and Scorpion occupied Li Jia's bedroom. Under these circumstances, there was probably nothing else to do but stay in the bedroom. I just wonder if Li Jia's bed sheets will be completely ruined.
Finally, with everyone's perseverance, the first day of the new year dawned. Immediately, Li Jia's dry cleaning shop was visited by wave after wave of people. The first was Chen Yi, followed by Zhao Fei, then Wang Xiao and Jiang Ling. However, these people came and went in a hurry, probably because there were still a lot of people waiting to visit them at home.
"Alright, Meng Yao, I'm going to F City today. You and Xiao Yu can stay home and watch the house. If you don't have anything to do, watch a movie. I bought a lot of DVDs yesterday, including many classic films, like your favorite James Bond." Li Jia said to Meng Yao after seeing off all the guests.
“Okay, go ahead and don’t worry. That’s where the real reunion is. But remember to come back soon. I’m really worried about your health.” Meng Yao nodded in reply, then looked Li Jia up and down repeatedly.
