Meng Yan's Transformation

While Zhan Yu was speaking, he picked up a large piece of shredded radish with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"Without someone like me to introduce it, you wouldn't know what you're eating. That would be a waste of all the ingenuity and meticulous preparation by Mom and Yingying. I can only blame my limited ability to express myself. I can't describe the dishes Mom and Yingying have carefully prepared! It seems my language skills need to be improved!"

Zhan Mengyan acted complacent when she spoke.

"Luckily, you didn't make this dish. If you did, you'd be flying in the sky!"

While Zhan Zixun was speaking, he glanced at Zhan Mengyan.

"Oh, I'm showing off my skills in front of an expert. There's a great writer at the table—Zhan Zixun. How can it be the turn of a small fry like me to comment on his words? Brother Zixun, you should review the food made by mom and sister Yingying."

"We're having a New Year's Eve dinner, not a cooking competition. What's there to comment on? Let's eat quickly, and then we can go hang lanterns."

After Zhan Yu finished speaking, he took another sip of wine.

After a while, Zhan Yu's cheeks had become rosy, his eyes were hazy, the world seemed to have become gentler, even the lights became particularly charming, and his drunken laughter flowed with the tilt of the wine glass, like a carefree child. He laughed so hard that he fell from side to side, completely losing his usual dignity and composure. He staggered, his eyes were blurred, and a silly smile hung on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was drunk.

"Come on, Zixun, Mengyan, Yingying, go hang lanterns with Dad... Yunqing, you can go and take a look too. Our lanterns are definitely the most beautiful in town."

As Zhan Yu spoke, he held onto the wall and staggered out of the house. Zhan Mengyan hurried forward to support Zhan Yu, but her strength was too weak and she was almost crushed by Zhan Yu. Seeing this, Zhan Yingying and Zhan Zixun hurriedly put down their chopsticks and went to support Zhan Yu.

"Zhan Yu, the children haven't finished their meal yet, please stop bothering them. If you are full and satisfied, just calm down and go to sleep on the kang. When you have had enough sleep, you can cook some rice."

While Yunqing was speaking, she wanted to pull Zhanyu onto the kang.

"I'm not sleepy. I won't go to sleep. I have to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. Let's go out and hang lanterns first. When we come back, we can continue eating and drinking..."

As Zhan Yu spoke, he reached out to grab the lantern on the cabinet.

Just as Yunqing was about to stop him, Zhan Yu grabbed Yunqing's wrist and pulled her, causing her to stagger and hit her head against the wall.

Zhan Yingying put Zhan Yu down and looked at Yunqing's head. The three children looked terrified.

Yunqing was not seriously injured, but her heart disease was aggravated by Zhan Yu's anger and shock. Zhan Yingying put a fast-acting heart pill into Yunqing's mouth, and after a while, Yunqing sat down against the wall.

"I'm fine, it'll be fine soon. Zixun, go hang up the lanterns..."

As Yunqing spoke, her eyes slowly closed.

Zhan Zixun quickly hung lanterns on a tall pole and also hung lanterns under the eaves.

At this time, the Zhan family compound was cleaned spotlessly. The pasted couplets looked festive, the hanging money danced in the wind, and the lanterns glowed orange, swaying gracefully and full of charm. This winter night was a little hazy, a little warm, and a little lively...

In the dim light, the candlelight flickers, and the light and shadow interweave, giving everything around a dreamy color.

Zhan Yu looked at it with a smile for a while, then returned to his room contentedly, got on the kang and fell asleep.

Zhan Mengyan took off Zhan Yu's shoes and worked together with Zhan Zixun to drag him to the middle of the kang.

"You two, be gentle! You might wake up Daddy. Be careful he gets angry."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she helped Yunqing sit on the kang, placed a pillow behind her back, and gently covered Zhan Yu with a quilt.
