Time flies, and it's already January 28th. Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lunar New Year's Eve.
Children in Yi'an take a bath in the afternoon, which signifies bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new. Following this tradition, Tu Yi'er, Tu Keke, and Man Sui finished their baths and changed into new clothes early in the morning.
The three little girls were wearing the same style of clothes. They were all wearing a set of red, very festive dresses. Tu Yier had her hair tied in pigtails and was wearing a red lion hat. Her lively eyes matched the happy Tu Yier who was jumping around.
Tu Xing and Shen Yulan sat on the sofa, smiling as they handed out red envelopes to their granddaughters. Tu Yier and her two granddaughters, who had finished taking a bath first, received theirs first. Tu Luoxue, who had also finished taking a bath and changed into new clothes, also received a New Year's red envelope from Tu Xing and Shen Yulan.
Chi Miaomiao and Lu Jiajing took a plane back to Guangzhou early in the morning, and the thoughtful Shen Yulan gave them red envelopes that she had prepared in advance.
When they were little, they couldn't wait to take a bath and receive red envelopes from their elders so they could go out and play with their friends. But as they grew up, Yanluo and Suqing were not in a hurry. Instead, they were in the kitchen preparing New Year's Eve dinner with Ye Shuang.
Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci were pushed by the girls to take a shower and change into new clothes, while Tu Xing and Shen Yulan also went back to their rooms to tidy up.
Tu Keke sat down on the sofa and eagerly opened the red envelope. Inside was a cold bank card. Yes, a very cold card, so cold that it only contained one million.
The red envelopes given by Tu Xing and Shen Yulan contained bank cards; the money wasn't much, but the sentiment was what mattered most.
(Hehe, even Teacher Xin received a red envelope from Grandpa while writing this chapter. I won't say who didn't get it.)
At the New Year's Eve dinner table, Su Qing and the other girls also received red envelopes from Tu Xing and Shen Yulan, and even Yan Luo received one.
Shen Yulan held Su Qing's hand, gently patted the back of her hand, and said with a kind smile, "Xiao Qing, your aunt wishes you a smooth and peaceful new year, and that you and Xiao Luo get along well."
Su Qing was shy. She glanced at Yan Luo, hoping he would say something, but Yan Luo wasn't very good at dealing with elders. Chi Miaomiao, who was best at it, was currently in Yangcheng preparing New Year's Eve dinner with Ye Yao.
Yan Luo picked up his wine glass and walked between Tu Xing and Shen Yulan. He solemnly said, "Uncle and Aunt, I'm not very good at speaking, so let's skip the formalities since we're family. I'd like to toast you both and wish you all the best in the new year."
Tu Xing smiled, picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Yan Luo's. Both of them were drinking baijiu. Shen Yulan also picked up her glass of beverage and clinked it with Yan Luo's.
"Xiao Luo, your aunt hopes you all have a good new year. I'm entrusting Xue'er and the others to you."
Yanluo nodded, "I will take good care of them."
What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listeners. Both Tu Luoxue and Tu Keke were moved. Regardless of whether Shen Yulan had other intentions, the blessings and hopes were genuine.
The family stood up, and the clinking of glasses seemed to be a farewell to the past year and a celebration of the beginning of the new year. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
So much has happened in the past six months, mostly sad things. Everyone is trying to get over the pain and move towards a happy and beautiful life together. Yanluo doesn't know what the future holds for him, but he is confident that he can protect the people he cherishes.
After the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, Yan Luo teleported to the downstairs of Ye Yao's house in Yangcheng. He had made an appointment with Chi Miaomiao a while ago, but only Ye Yao and Chi Miaomiao had just finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
Yan Luo knocked on Ye Yao's door, carrying gifts. Ye Yao, who had just sat down with Chi Miaomiao, was puzzled as to who it could be at this hour. Chi Miaomiao was serving rice, so Ye Yao went to open the door.
Ye Yao opened the door and found Yan Luo with red hair.
"Xiao Yan!"
Yanluo said with a smile, "Happy New Year's Eve, Mom!"
"Let's have fun together!" Ye Yao laughed and pulled Yan Luo in. "Why did you bring all this stuff with you?"
Yanluo placed the gifts on the coffee table.
Ye Yao's home, where she lived alone, was very simple, with little decoration, and looked somewhat deserted.
"It's only right. How can a son-in-law come empty-handed?" Yan Luo sat down next to Chi Miaomiao at Ye Yao's invitation.
Ye Yao looked at Yan Luo and Chi Miaomiao with increasing satisfaction, and picked up her chopsticks to signal them to start eating. Although she didn't know how Yan Luo had come from the capital, Ye Yao didn't press the matter; young people have their own secrets.
She was very happy to be able to have New Year's Eve dinner with Chi Miaomiao and Yan Luo. This was a joyful thing for Ye Yao, who lived there. Watching Yan Luo serve food to Chi Miaomiao, Ye Yao became more and more satisfied with this son-in-law.
In this regard, Zhang Qian, the mother-in-law, said she had plenty to talk about. However, the scene of Ye Yao, who was not good at speaking, facing the eloquent Zhang Qian was somewhat funny.
Ye Yao had a habit of drinking. She took out a bottle of baijiu from the liquor cabinet and dragged Yan Luo and Chi Miaomiao into a drinking session. Without using her breath to digest the alcohol, Ye Yao quickly became drunk.
Yan Luo and Ye Yao didn't try to digest the alcohol, since it was a happy day. Chi Miaomiao carried Ye Yao to the room, and Ye Yao was still murmuring, "I can still drink, I can still drink."
Chi Miaomiao smiled, tucked Ye Yao in, and whispered in her ear, "Goodnight, Mom."
Stepping out of the room, Yan Luo had already cleared the table. Slightly drunk, Chi Miaomiao hugged Yan Luo from behind and rested her head on his back.
"Brother, brother, brother..." Chi Miaomiao kept muttering.
Yanluo turned around and hugged her. Chi Miaomiao's face was very red, it seemed that the alcohol was taking effect.
"Miaomiao, you're drunk."
Chi Miaomiao hugged Yanluo tightly.
"No, I can still drink a lot more."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Chi Miaomiao collapsed onto Yan Luo. Yan Luo chuckled and picked her up. Ye Yao had pointed to Chi Miaomiao's room during dinner. Yan Luo placed Chi Miaomiao on the pink bed, leaned down and kissed her forehead, then covered her with a blanket.
Goodnight, my Miaomiao. And Happy New Year.
Yan Luo tiptoed out of the room, went to the kitchen, tied on an apron, and used the chaotic energy to dispel the alcohol in his body. He quickly tidied up the kitchen, glanced at the sleeping Chi Miaomiao one last time, turned off all the lights in the house, and then teleported back to the capital.
The family was watching the Longtai Spring Festival Gala, but only Tu Xing and his wife, Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci were actually watching. The Spring Festival Gala nowadays has lost its charm; it's better to play mahjong.
Tu Keke and Man Sui brought down an automatic mahjong machine from the third floor. Just then, Yan Luo returned, and they were able to join them for a game.
The little golden retriever thought it would be more fun if there was a little something extra. Yanluo never expected such a good thing. Her grandparents gave the girls New Year's red envelopes, and now they all ended up in his pocket.
Killing ghosts is not as profitable as bullying them.
