The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year.

Since this morning, the sound of firecrackers in the manor has not stopped.

It was not until night, under Chu Yang's order, that Wu Xiaoxin and the other girls put down the firecrackers with unsatisfied intentions.

"Hurry and wash your hands. It's time to eat later."

After telling a few little girls to wash their hands, Chu Yang took them to the restaurant.

The New Year's Eve dinner, also known as the reunion dinner, is the last dinner of the year. It is very important to the people, so Wei Yuxin attaches great importance to it and starts preparing it early in the morning. It is only now that it is ready.

After leading the juniors to worship their ancestors, everyone in the manor gathered in the restaurant to prepare for the reunion dinner.

Everyone sat down according to age and seniority. As the head of the family, Chu Shiwen symbolically made a concluding speech, and then waved his hand and ordered the meal to be served.

Because there were so many people, three tables were set up in the restaurant, which were almost full.

Most of the people here are practitioners and have relatively large appetites. When Wei Yuxin prepared the meals, the portions were much larger. After the dishes were served, the round table was piled full.

Food and wine are not enough. Yesterday, Chu Yang provided the kitchen with a large amount of heavenly ingredients. He also bought several jars of valuable fairy wine just now to celebrate.

Eating delicious food and drinking fairy wine, the Liyuan disciples were in high spirits. Regardless of their seniority, they kept teasing and persuading Chu Yang to get drunk.

This immortal wine was not strong wine, and the alcohol content was not high. The disciples took turns to toast, and Chu Yang drank until his glass was dry without any hesitation.

"Ding ding ding..."

While chatting and laughing, a video request popped up on Chu Yang’s WeChat.

I looked at the profile picture and saw it was from Su Yue.

A few days ago, Su Yue and her mother came back from Phuket alone. Because Chu Yang was busy with business, he didn't even bother to visit her. He planned to take advantage of the holiday to pay New Year's greetings to his father-in-law.

After walking to the window and accepting the video request, Su Yue's face appeared on the screen.

"Yue'er, what are you doing?"

After taking a look, Su Yue was lying on the bed. The room was a bit strange.

Su Yue said dullly: "I'm not video chatting with you."

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy?"

"It's not you. You've been back for a few days and you haven't come to play with me." Su Yue pretended to be angry.

Chu Yang felt a little guilty. He was busy dealing with Liu Changfeng and neglected his girlfriend. This was a bit inappropriate, so he compensated:

"Well, I've been too busy the past few days and I really can't spare any time. When I have time the day after tomorrow, I'll come to visit my uncle and aunt to pay New Year's greetings and play with you. How about that?"

"Forget it, you know my dad is very annoyed by these favors. In order to avoid those people who want to pay New Year's greetings, he goes back to his hometown every year. Now I am at my grandpa's house, how can you still pay New Year's greetings?" Su Yue said speechlessly.

"Ah, have you gone back to your hometown?"

Chu Yang was dumbfounded.

"Yes, isn't this tradition?"

Su Yue asked rhetorically.

Chu Yang could only say: "Okay, then when you come back, tell me in advance, and I will go find you as soon as possible."

"Well, are your parents here? Can I say a few words to them?" Su Yue looked a little shy.

Chu Yang said happily: "Of course, just wait."

Chu Shiwen and Chu Shiwen were very happy when they heard that Su Yue wanted to talk to them. They talked to Su Yue on their mobile phones for a long time. It wasn't until another call came in that they handed the mobile phone to Chu Yang.

"I'll take another call. Remember to tell your uncle and aunt that I wish them a happy New Year." Chu Yang said to Su Yue and answered another call.

"Who are you video chatting with? You haven't hung up for more than ten minutes, and I can't even get in."

Just as the call was connected, Jiang Xiaoyuan's voice came from the phone.

When Chu Yang heard that it was her, he glanced at his parents cautiously and said softly: "It's Su Yue who called. She was just talking to my parents."

"It's her."

Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't have a good impression of Su Yue, and said angrily: "What are you doing recently? You don't even come to see me."

Yes, they are all here to ask questions.

Chu Yang had no choice but to repeat what he said to coax Su Yue, before Jiang Xiaoyuan was slightly satisfied.

Jiang Xiaoyuan was also a ghost. In order to increase his presence with Chu Yang's parents, he also strongly requested to talk to the two elders. There was no other way, so Chu Yang had to give the phone to Chu Shiwen.

Chu Shiwen and Wei Yuxin took a deep look at their son, and then greeted Jiang Xiaoyuan with a kind smile. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoyuan knew how to measure and did not talk nonsense in front of the two elders. In addition to New Year's greetings, he also said that he would come to Xiaoxiang Xiyuan to pay New Year's greetings in two days.

After finally getting rid of Jiang Xiaoyuan, the video call started again.

Turning on the phone, Yuan Luyao's profile picture was displayed.

After glancing at Chu Shiwen, Chu Yang connected the video.

Yuan Luyao was in an antique room, looking at her expressionlessly. Chu Yang smiled and said hello: "Happy New Year's Eve, how have you been recently?"

"How dare you say that!"

Yuan Luyao raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth and said: "It's all your fault. My mother and I have no place to live. Now we have to live under someone else's roof. Jiang Xiaoyuan is so proud now that he even laughs at me. I don't care, you have to be responsible." Quickly exchange it with my mother...hey."

Before Yuan Luyao finished speaking, the phone screen shook, and Yuan Xueying appeared in the video.

"Xiaoyang, don't listen to Yaoyao's nonsense. We live here very well. Xiaoyuan is also very polite. I just think it's inconvenient to disturb others. Nothing else."

Yuan Xueying apologized.

"Mom, what nonsense am I talking about? Living in someone else's house during the Chinese New Year is not considered living under someone else's roof. I have never been this miserable since I was a child!"

"You kid, you are so rude. These are extraordinary times. As long as you live safely, it will be different everywhere. Yaoyao has an unforgiving temper. Don't mind it, Xiaoyang."

After Yuan Xueying finished scolding her daughter, she apologized to Chu Yang.

"It's okay, I didn't think well."

From the conversation between mother and daughter, Chu Yang also felt that something was wrong. For the sake of safety, Chu Yang had asked the Jiang family to provide protection to the Yuan family mother and daughter. He had never thought about this matter. After all, he was not in his own home, so what should he do? It's not convenient, so Yuan Luyao's complaints are not unreasonable.

Changing the topic, Yuan Xueying asked: "How are you doing there? How are your parents?"

"It's all good, but there are too many people and they have to take care of everything, which is a bit hard."

Wei Yuxin smiled and said: "Haha, it's the New Year. It's right for adults to worry about it. The Jiang family has also prepared a New Year's Eve dinner and invited us to dine there. I won't tell you more. Remember to wish your parents my best wishes to Yaoyao. Happy New Year."

"Well, okay, I also wish you and Sister Yaoyao a Happy New Year."

Chu Yang hung up the phone with a smile.

After talking for a long time, Chu Shiwen also recognized that it was the mother and daughter of the Yuan family, but he did not interfere and just asked Chu Yang to eat quickly to avoid the food getting cold.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family gathered in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Chu Shiwen looked at it for a while, then got up and walked towards the study. When he passed Chu Yang, he winked at him.

Chu Yang naturally understood his father's hint. After a while, he got up and went to the study.

"Dad, do you have anything to do with me?"

Chu Yang asked after closing the door.

Chu Shiwen held a document and asked casually: "What did Aunt Yuan tell you then?"

"Said she missed you."

Chu Yang chuckled.

Chu Shiwen blushed, rolled up the document, slapped his son, and said angrily: "No matter how big or small you are, how can you say this casually? What if your mother hears it..."

"Okay, Aunt Yuan said she's pretty good, but Sister Yaoyao is a little dissatisfied and feels it's inconvenient to live under someone else's roof." Chu Yang shrugged.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. The only safe place now is the Jiang family. Although your Aunt Yuan has contacts with the Jiang family, she only gives you courtesy greetings. She lives in the Jiang family during the Chinese New Year and doesn't say anything. , but I will inevitably think too much about it," Chu Shiwen sighed.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Yang leaned over and asked mischievously.

"I, what can I mean? Aren't you the one who makes the decision now? I, the father, can't stop you, can I?" Chu Shiwen's expression was a little unnatural.

Chu Yang nodded: "Okay, if you have no objection, let them live in the Jiang family."

Hearing this, Chu Shiwen frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Chu Yang continued:

"We'll live here first. I'll go to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and then I'll bring Aunt Yuan and the others over to stay for a few days. What do you think, dad?"

"Ahem, I told you to make up your mind and ask me why. Okay, this is your decision and has nothing to do with me. Also, let me remind you, when your mother asked, just say it's you Yaoyao. You are planning to bring them here because your sister is not used to living here. You are not allowed to take them with you, do you hear me?" Chu Shiwen said in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, I'll just say that Sister Yaoyao missed me, and then I picked them up. Is that okay?"

Chu Yang smiled narrowly.

The Yuan family's mother and daughter were living under someone else's roof. Chu Shiwen just felt guilty, but had no other thoughts. He felt a little embarrassed about being laughed at by his son, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Aye, a gentleman talks but never strikes."

Chu Yang shouted as he opened the door and was about to run away. When he raised his head, he almost bumped into someone.

"What are you two doing?"

Wei Yuxin supported Chu Yang and looked back and forth between the father and son.

"Ahem, Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

Chu Yang looked at his mother calmly.

Wei Yuxin said: "You can just talk about it if you have something to do, why are you hiding in the study with your dad to discuss it?"

"Well... here's the thing. Sister Yaoyao is not used to living in the Jiang family. She would ask me to find a place for her to live again, but it's not safe now, so I think..."

"You want to take her over?"

Wei Yuxin said.

"Uh... I have this idea."

Chu Yangguang admitted firmly.

"Really, for such a big thing, you still go to discuss it with your dad. If you want her to come, just pick it up. It's just a matter of having extra pairs of chopsticks anyway." Wei Yuxin said amusedly.

Chu Yang glanced at his father, while Chu Shiwen looked at his nose and heart, as if he was just a listener.

"That's what I think. Now that Sister Yaoyao is here, we can't leave Aunt Yuan to live in the Jiang family. I'm afraid we have to take her over together. What do you think?"

When he said this, Chu Yang's scalp was numb. If Chu Shiwen hadn't been staring at him, it would have been difficult to speak.
