After the first day of the new year, families visit relatives and friends, showing even stronger affection!

Early in the morning, the brothers Chen Changhe and Chen Changjiang each took their wives and children to their father-in-law's house.

Old Mrs. Chen stayed at home. Her parents' home was in the village, so she was not in a hurry on this day.

As soon as his son and daughter-in-law left, Chen Lin asked his eldest son Changshui to come over and invite Old Mrs. Chen to have dinner at his house today.

Chen Linsheng has two sons and one daughter. Today, his daughter and son-in-law are coming home to pay New Year's greetings, so he has to set up several tables for dinner.

Old Mrs. Chen agreed immediately and went there with several people from her family at dinner time.

The market is good this year. I am making a lot of money by following Qing Ning in the furniture and bamboo weaving business.

Many people were invited today. In addition to several relatives, the village chief's family and the workers in the workshop were also invited. It was really lively.

For this purpose, a master chef who specializes in making banquets in the village was specially invited to come and take charge of the cooking, and the women from each family also volunteered to help.

"Sister-in-law is here. Please come in and sit down. I'm busy so please help me entertain her."

When Wang saw Old Lady Chen coming, she went to greet her from afar and invited her in.

"Okay, I'm in this room, go ahead and do your work."

They are all family, so she doesn't feel shy.

"By the way, have you gone to invite Mr. Ma, Mr. Yu, and Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes, we invited them. They were the first to be invited. When Lao Chen went there, there were quite a few people at his house. Luckily, my family got there first."

As she said this, Wang started to laugh. There was nothing she could do. Mr. Ma and his men were not ordinary people.

"That's good. There's also a brazier in the room. Old Madam Zhang can't stand the cold. She's finally feeling better and can come out for some fresh air. Don't let her get cold again."

"It's in a cage. As soon as I got back, my husband asked Dalang to buy a lot of good charcoal. Don't worry, sister-in-law."

Seeing that they were well prepared, Old Mrs. Chen stopped worrying and went into the house to help entertain relatives and guests.

Along the way, everyone I knew and didn't know greeted me with a smile, and I felt so good.

"Oh, are all the relatives here? I'm late. If I had known you were coming today, I would have come earlier to accompany you."

As soon as I entered the house, I saw quite a few people standing and sitting in the main room and the rooms.

The people in the room were chatting. When they heard the voice and saw that it was her, they all stood up and pulled her to sit down.

"Then you better drink a few more cups today, otherwise it won't show your sincerity."

A tall, thin woman smiled and joked with her.

This woman is Changshui's mother-in-law, Gao.

Old Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I will accompany you all for drinks and good food today."

I had originally planned to hold a banquet during the first month of the lunar year, but today I decided to invite a few relatives to come along and make it lively.

A group of old women and girls were chatting in the room.

How old is this family? Is that family suitable? Is this family's bride pregnant? That family's daughter is pretty!

"Madam, Madam Zhang is here." Xu Miao Niang opened the curtain and came in, helping Madam Zhang into the house.

Old Mrs. Chen hurried forward and helped her to a seat.

"Old sister, can you bear this trip?"

"Thank you, old lady. I can handle it. The weather is nice today, and I put on more clothes before going out."

"My dear, who is this old lady?"

Those present didn't know Old Madam Zhang, and if they weren't told, there would probably be few people in the village who had seen her.

Old Lady Chen smiled and introduced everyone, "This is Mr. Zhang's wife from the academy. She hasn't been feeling well and is recuperating at Mr. Ma's medicine house. She rarely goes out."

"It's only recently that I've gotten better that I've been able to go out for a walk."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people present came forward to greet him enthusiastically. This gentleman was respected by everyone, so his family naturally had to respect him as well.

Old Madam Zhang felt a little embarrassed and responded one by one.

Old Mrs. Chen just sat there with her, occasionally leading her in conversation so that she could join in the conversation.

After a while, food was served and two tables were specially set up in the house.

One table was bustling with young ladies, while the other table was closed to take care of Old Madam Zhang.

Chen Lin was really happy today, and he led his son and son-in-law to toast at each table.

When he got so excited, no one around him could stop him.

When it came to the table inside, everyone's speech was a little unclear.

"Sister-in-law, you always took care of me when my brother was alive, and you still take care of me now that he's gone. I'm happy, but I'm also sad!"

There was a hint of tears in his voice as he opened his mouth.

"It's all that cruel old man's fault. He killed my sister. Sister-in-law, I hate them. I'll go find him soon."

As he said this, he walked out, stumbling.

Changshui and Changhai next to him didn't even support him.

Everyone at the table came forward to persuade them.

Wang was just greeting people there when she heard her daughter-in-law say that the father-in-law was drunk and was shouting that he wanted to go look for the deceased Grandpa Chen.

Wang was angry, anxious and helpless.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw this and started twisting it.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, sister-in-law, please save me."

"You still feel the pain, and you still know to call me sister-in-law. Today is a happy day, and I told you to drink less, but you didn't listen. Shame on you!"

"Sister-in-law, please save me."

Chen Lin was just shouting for help. He broke free from Wang's hand and hid behind Old Lady Chen.

This commotion made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

People outside the house heard the noise, and some of those who loved the fun came over to see what was going on.

This made Wang Shi both angry and ashamed. "This old man, when he's drunk, he's like this. He's always looking for his brother or his eldest sister-in-law. He still treats me like a child?"

This cannot be blamed on Chen Lin. Chen Lin has been taken care of by his brothers and sisters since he was a child, and the relationship they have with him is incomparable to ordinary people.

His elder brother and sister-in-law arranged for him to get married and buy property, and he respected them as his own parents.

Old Mrs. Chen was also a little helpless. Her second brother was like this when he was young. He would hide behind her whenever something happened.

"Alright, alright, sister-in-law, go make some hangover soup. It's warm in this room and I drank quite a bit of alcohol, so naturally I'm quite drunk."

Old Mrs. Chen placed Chen Lin aside, and then asked Wang to cook some sobering soup.

Wang glared at him and had no choice but to resign herself to telling her daughter-in-law to go to the kitchen.

She stayed to continue entertaining the guests. There was nothing shameful about it, as they were all familiar with each other.

She let her son and daughter-in-law take care of the outside of the house, while she stayed inside to look after it.

Everyone also helped to take care of her and told her not to worry, as they were all family.

"The hangover soup is here." After an incense stick of time, Chen Yuelian brought in a big bowl.

Chen Lin was so drunk that his eyes were a little dull. He drank from the bowl and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Everyone looked at him and felt relieved to see that he was feeling a little better.

Old Mrs. Chen signaled to Wang to help him go in and get some sleep. The banquet was not over yet, and he could not entertain him like this.

Wang was actually quite angry. [This old man is so ignorant of the situation. I'll see how she'll deal with him after everyone leaves.]

Wang apologized to everyone and went forward to help Chen Lin up.

Wang felt dizzy and fell to the ground under Chen Lin's weight.

The fall scared the people in the room so much that they rushed forward to help him in a panic.

Wang was furious and twisted the soft flesh on Chen Lin's waist.

Chen Lin was suddenly twisted, and the pain woke him up from his drunken state.

Just as he was about to say something to Wang, he looked up and saw an old woman whose features looked very much like his elder sister.

He lost his composure and stepped forward, grabbing the old woman's hand, saying in a trembling voice, "Eldest sister, you're back!"
