On New Year's Eve, Shi Xiyue and the others came back. Shi Hongshen and Guo Shiying prepared a table of dishes, not to mention how lively it was.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, fireworks started to be set off outside, and the sounds of children playing could be heard late at night. The festive atmosphere was particularly strong.
Shi Xiyue and the others also bought various small firecrackers and Kongming lanterns to play with outside. Shi Yuan didn't have much energy to play with, so he went back to the room after eating.
However, she couldn't sleep because of the noise outside, so she just lay on the bed and played with her mobile phone, replying to everyone's New Year greetings one by one.
The atmosphere at Fang Yuechuan's side was not as harmonious as that at Shi Yuan's side. The Fang family's New Year's Eve dinner was always eaten at their old home. Although it was sumptuous, it was eaten in a very formal way.
There is a saying that in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, and when there are many relatives, there will always be some yin and yang weird people.
Mr. Fang has a total of two sons and one daughter. Fang Yuechuan's father, Fang Yan, is the second oldest. Fang Yuechuan also has an uncle, Fang Bin, and a sister-in-law, Fang Qiong.
Fang Qiong's family will not come to visit until tomorrow. Today, only Fang Bin and Fang Yan will come back for the New Year's Eve dinner.
As two brothers, there has always been a subtle comparison and competition between Fang Bin and Fang Yan.
This kind of comparison and competition occurs in all aspects, whether it is personal comparison, career comparison or family comparison, anyway, as long as we get together, there will always be comparison.
Fang Bin has a son and a daughter. The eldest son is three years older than Fang Yuechuan and is already married and has children. The younger daughter is one year younger than Fang Yuechuan. She also got married at the beginning of this year, and she got married well.
Ren Baiman's health was not very good. Two children had died in the womb due to fetal loss before giving birth to Fang Yuechuan. Fang Yuechuan was the child she saved after taking more than 500 injections.
Therefore, Fang Yan and Ren Baiman only have one son, Fang Yuechuan, who could not have as many children as Fang Bin and his family. Now that Fang Yuechuan has not been able to start a family, it gave Fang Bin and his family something to talk about.
During the meal, Fang Yuechuan didn't say a word, just lowered his head to eat, listening to the weird and eccentric expressions of these adults the whole time.
Although Ren Baiman has always said that Fang Yuechuan still focuses on his career, it is obvious that Fang Yan really cares about what Fang Bin said.
At the dinner table, he said that he had a friend whose daughter was about the same age as Fang Yuechuan. She just came back from abroad this year, and he wanted them to try to get in touch after the year.
Fang Yuechuan frowned when he heard this. He wanted to speak but was stopped by Ren Baiman. He glanced at Ren Baiman and saw that he was not arguing with them in front of outsiders.
As soon as dinner was over, Fang Yuechuan took the square piece and hid in his room.
He wanted to call Shi Yuan, but he was afraid that Shi Yuan was chatting with his relatives, so he didn't bother.
It wasn't until almost midnight that I sent Shi Yuan a New Year's greeting.
Shi Yuan was just about to go to sleep when he heard the message tone on his cell phone. As expected, it was from Fang Yuechuan.
Fang Yuechuan: [Sister, Happy New Year. 】
Shi Yuan replied: [Happy New Year. 】
Fang Yuechuan: [Are you still awake? 】
Shi Yuan: [Get ready to sleep. 】
Fang Yuechuan: [Then go to sleep, good night. 】
Shi Yuan: [You should also go to bed early. 】
Fang Yuechuan: [Yeah. 】

The next day.
There are no old people in Shi Yuan's family anymore, so they don't have to go back during the Chinese New Year, let alone visit relatives.
On the first day of the new year, they stayed at home together, watching dramas, eating snacks, watching movies and playing mahjong, harmoniously and comfortably.
Fang Yuechuan had a quarrel with Fang Yan over the blind date, so he took Fang Pian back to Qingliu Bay without even having lunch.
In the evening, the two made a video call.
Shi Yuan looked at the familiar background behind Fang Yuechuan and asked, "Have you returned to Qingliu Bay?"
Fang Yuechuan: "Well, I'll be back at noon today."
Shi Yuan: "Did you quarrel with your family again?"
Fang Yuechuan: "Fighting is expected. It happens every year for various reasons. I'm used to it."
Shi Yuan frowned: "Then you are at home tonight?"
"I still have Fang Pian with me." Fang Yuechuan said and handed the phone to Fang Pian.
Diamond: "Woof!"
Shi Yuan felt helpless and felt a little distressed: "You said why do you bother? You can't escape such a good life by yourself."
"I feel even worse if I don't come out. I'd rather stay by myself," Fang Yuechuan said, staring at Shi Yuan, "I miss you so much."
Shi Yuan: "We can meet tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight."
Fang Yuechuan: "Well, see you tomorrow."

In order to catch the flight, Fang Yuechuan and Shi Yuan got up early, took their luggage and went to the airport, and then started a four-day trip abroad.
In a strange country, no one knew them. It was as if they had lost their restraints and were free to do anything. Shi Yuan felt very relaxed.
However, happy times always end very quickly. Freedom is too ideal for adults. The short journey seems like a beautiful dream, and you still have to face reality after waking up.
Shi Yuan didn't expect that on the first day of work in the new year, she would get a big surprise. The hot search for Chu Jingshuo's collapsed house was so sudden that people couldn't react.
When he heard the news from Liang Xia, Shi Yuan thought something was wrong, but after taking a closer look, he found out that it was about Chu Jingshuo's family.
Some media broke the news that Chu Jingshuo did not support his father after becoming famous. His father Chu Qiang even accused Chu Jingshuo of being a white-eyed wolf.
Chu Jingxuan's popularity is now high, everyone is staring at him, and the spread of this matter is out of control.
Liang Xia and others in the team were very anxious, but Shi Yuan felt that it was not a problem at all. She knew the situation of Chu Jingshuo's family.
Chu Qiang himself is not a good person. He owed a lot of money because of gambling before, and then abandoned Chu Jingxuan and his mother and ran away, so Chu Jingxuan worked in a restaurant to pay off the debt.
Now that Chu Jingxuan was angry and had made some money to pay off his debts, Chu Qiang was back.
Shi Yuan thought that this old guy must have hit a wall with Chu Jingshuo before he caused this incident. He wanted the media to put pressure on Chu Jingshuo and make Chu Jingshuo give him money.
The facts were similar to what Shi Yuan had guessed. Chu Jingxuan said that Chu Qiang came back during the Chinese New Year and shamelessly begged his family for forgiveness. When he failed, he started asking for money.
Chu Jingxuan didn't give it, so he deliberately corrupted it.
After understanding the whole story, Shi Yuan started to take action. She not only wanted to clarify Chu Jingshuo, but also used it to make Chu Jingshuo miserable.
When Yuheng officially disclosed Chu Jingshuo's family situation and bought a navy, Chu Jingshuo's cold and bitter image in front of the public instantly became more three-dimensional.
I don't know whether it was out of sympathy or love, but everyone's tolerance for Chu Jingshuo increased significantly, and public opinion became one-sided.
Chu Qiang turned into a street rat that everyone yelled at and beat him up, and he soon became silent.
Shi Yuan was worried that Chu Qiang would harass her again, so she asked Chu Jingxuan to move his mother to a new residence, and then he felt relieved.
However, within a few days of calm, Chu Qiang called Yu Heng because he couldn't find Chu Jingshuo's mother and son. They made trouble downstairs every day and were chased away by security guards every time.
This situation lasted for almost a week, until Chu Qiang once intercepted Shi Yuan downstairs after get off work, and was seen by Fang Yuechuan who came to pick up Shi Yuan, and then he never appeared again.
