At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

"My second aunt is so beautiful!"

"This dress is so ethereal!"

Looking at Lin Xiamo on the TV screen, Shen Yanran couldn't help but sigh.

Today, Lin Xiamo wore a white long dress with ethnic characteristics. The floral prints on it resembled flowing clouds, and the silver vine embroidery meandered up the hem, shimmering under the lights.

"Old Lin, Momo doesn't have a boyfriend yet, right?"

Old Shen, who was standing next to Lin Moxuan, asked a question.

"Well, no!"

Lin Moxuan nodded slightly.

"I wonder which brat will benefit from this in the future."

"Whoever marries Momo will be incredibly lucky!"

Old Man Shen sighed again.

After hearing his words, Shen Yixiao subconsciously glanced at his father. He was the first person to know that his father and second aunt were together, and he had even benefited from it.

So, after hearing his grandfather's sentiments, he couldn't help but silently think to himself: Our Shen family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!

Unaware of the inside story, Shen Dehua echoed Old Man Shen's words, saying, "A girl as outstanding as Momo will surely have a husband who is one in a million!"

Amidst the chorus of praise from the crowd, Chen Qingzhu and Lin Xiamo's performance came to an end.

A little while later, Chen Qingzhu called directly. She and Lin Xiamo were already backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, along with the other members of the Red Rose Band.

It was clear that everyone was quite satisfied with Fang Cai's performance, and their faces were all beaming with smiles.

However, it was too late, so they wouldn't be able to return to Sanjiang until tomorrow.

After ending the video call with Chen Qingzhu and Lin Xiamo, the whole family went to have their New Year's Eve dinner.

Almost at the same time.

Inside the bungalows in the urban village.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on an old, bulky CRT television.

Xu Pipa sat alone at the octagonal table in front of the television, making dumplings while watching the program on TV.

Her grandmother was from the north, so her family has a long-standing tradition of making dumplings for the Chinese New Year.

When her grandmother was still alive, she would chop the filling and knead the dough. Xu Pipa would occasionally lend a hand. Now that her grandmother is gone, she has to do all these chores herself!

In fact, Shen Qiushan had already invited her to his home for the Chinese New Year.

But Xu Pipa refused.

Because her grandmother had told her when she was very young that the Lunar New Year is a time for family reunion, and the whole family should be together.

Now she lives alone.

She has to protect this family.

In addition, Xu Pipa also wanted to make some dumplings by hand and send them to her father tomorrow.

Let Uncle Shen also try her cooking.

Thinking of Uncle Shen, who had illuminated her dark life, Little Mushroom Head's dumpling-making movements suddenly slowed down by half a beat. Just moments before, Lin Xiamo had completed a wonderful performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

She has transformed from Principal Lin into a dazzling superstar.

I have become a better version of myself.

Such an outstanding person is a better match for Uncle Shen! The lingering feelings in the young girl's heart could only be hidden even deeper!
On this Lunar New Year's Eve, it's not just Pipa who's making dumplings herself.

In the faculty and staff dormitory of Sanjiang University.

Liu Qingwu was also making clumsy attempts. After experiencing the scandal of her mother and younger brother swindling her out of money, she had no home!
While making dumplings, she was still wondering if she had made the wrong decision.

Should she continue lying there, being drained of her life by her loved ones?

After all, they were her relatives.

Ultimately, she came to the same conclusion as before.

The person who could so brazenly and unscrupulously leech off her blood was not a relative!

If the other person considered her family, they would never do such a thing.

Fortunately, after the lawsuit was filed in court, the mother, Li Guilian, was forced to return 40 yuan. In addition to repaying the money to Shen Qiushan, she was also able to repay the money she borrowed online.

Although I still have tens of thousands of yuan in credit card debt, I can still get by.

Although the salary for being a counselor at the school was not much, Shen Qiushan paid her 15,000 yuan for working part-time at the Red Rose Tavern during the holidays for more than a month, and also gave her a 5,000 yuan red envelope for the Chinese New Year.

The 20,000 yuan helped stabilize her credit card debt. In addition, her experience working at the bar for more than a month made her start to re-examine her career plan.

Liu Qingwu's original plan was to become a full-time counselor at Sanjiang University as soon as possible, or to pass the civil service exam.

Her status as a university teacher and civil servant would make it easier for her to marry into a wealthy family.

At least be compatible with men of good standing.

However, her experience working at the Red Rose Tavern for over a month made her think twice. She unexpectedly discovered that she seemed quite suited to similar management work, and she was able to maintain good relationships with guests while welcoming and seeing them off.

You can also gain a sense of accomplishment that you didn't have before while running the tavern well.

Of course, there is an even more important point: this tavern is owned by Shen Qiushan. When I needed money before, Shen Qiushan helped me without hesitation, even though I later found out it was a scam.

However, Shen Qiushan's righteous act at that moment still made her extremely grateful, and even made Liu Qingwu re-evaluate her relationship with Shen Qiushan.

She had initially approached and flattered him simply because of his money, but after spending a long time with him, she discovered that Shen Qiushan was a truly charming man, one in a million in terms of personality, appearance, and financial status.

She felt very lucky to have met such a man. If she could continue to work for him, it would be a kind of companionship in itself!

Thinking of this, Liu Qingwu picked up the beer beside her and took a big gulp. The aroma of malt and the bitter taste began to spread in her mouth.
On the banks of the Xiang River.

Lin Kaixuan took three boxes of fireworks out of the trunk.

Then, under the direction of his wife and daughter, he arranged the fireworks in a row.

"Move a little further back, I'm going to order!"

While telling his wife and daughter to stand back, Lin Kaixuan lit the first box of fireworks with a lighter.

The fuse ignited a string of sparks, and then the first firework shot up with a "bang," exploding in the night sky like a celestial river pouring down, illuminating the river surface and bringing smiles to the faces of Lin Yufei and her mother, Zhou Yamin.

The second and third fireworks went off one after another. Lin Yufei quickly took out her phone to take pictures. This scene reminded her of the night she confessed her love on Christmas.

The fireworks that night were just as spectacular as today's!
After filming the video, she sent it directly to Shen Yixiao.

"Yufei, come on, let's take a family photo!"

At this moment, Lin Kaixuan walked over to his daughter with a smile, raised his phone, and took a family photo with the exploding fireworks as the background.

In the photo, all three are smiling brightly, clearly a harmonious and happy family.
