Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 182 Returning South for the New Year 5

Xiaomeng scratched her head, wondering why they were saying all this. "Then you should just finish eating early and go back, and tidy up a bit."

If you really don't like cleaning, you can just have a housekeeper come and clean tomorrow morning. Do you really need to stay in a hotel, right, sis?

Cui Ling thought so too, and nodded in agreement.

Cui Ling thought of a question. As she moved the shredded chicken on the table to Xiao Tang, she asked, "Aren't you supposed to go back to your hometown for the Spring Festival to reunite with your family? Why is there no one at home when you got back to Guangzhou?"

Xiao Tang and Attorney Lang exchanged a glance. "Oh, haha, this house nearby is my parents' house. They haven't come back yet; they'll be a day or two late. I got a break early, so I came to check it out first. They'll have someone come and clean the house tomorrow. Attorney Lang's situation should be similar to mine, right?"

Attorney Lang seemed a little annoyed because the shredded chicken she wanted wasn't in front of her. She glared at Xiao Tang and said, "No, my parents went on vacation for the Lunar New Year this year, so they sent me back as their representative to go back to the old house to perform the ancestral rites. I'll be spending the Lunar New Year alone this year."

"Wow, spending the New Year alone? How pitiful." Xiaomeng and Cuiling almost said in unison that they felt sorry for him.

Xiao Tang was also annoyed. "How can you say you're spending the New Year alone? You have so many relatives in Guangzhou, both near and far. If you visit one every day, it would take you almost half a month. Why don't you just go to any relative's house and spend the New Year together?"

"Oh, so you have many relatives in Guangzhou, Attorney Lang." This was the first time Xiaomeng had heard of this.

“Yes,” Xiao Tang began to explain to Xiao Meng, “Lawyer Lang’s family ancestral hall is located in an urban village in Guangzhou, so they have a lot of relatives here.”

"Is it the same in your family?" Xiaomeng asked him again.

“Our ancestral hall isn’t in the urban village; our family lives in a village in the suburbs. But our family members left a long time ago and now work and live all over the country, rarely coming back,” Xiao Tang explained to Xiao Meng.

While eating, Attorney Lang explained to Cuiling, "Although everyone in the village is related, they are all distant relatives, and we are not that familiar with each other."

My grandfather has passed away, and the relationships between my uncles and aunts have become much more distant. It wouldn't be appropriate to suddenly go and disturb them. They're having a family reunion; what would it look like if I barged in?

After hearing his explanation, Cui Ling, recalling her own past with her sister, nodded understandingly and helped him turn over the shredded chicken he wanted. Lawyer Lang immediately smiled again, happily picking up a piece with his chopsticks. "This free-range chicken is excellent. Your cook knows how to buy ingredients. The chicken is also well-cooked, just right. It's rare to find such authentic free-range chicken outside."

Xiaomeng completely agreed, "That's right, it's extremely difficult to buy free-range chickens in other provinces. I have to go to organic food websites to buy them."

Xiao Tang praised Xiao Meng for being thrifty, saying, "It's all thanks to girls like you who know how to manage money. Unlike me, I usually just grab a meal at the cafeteria or a restaurant and that's it. I've never paid attention to any grocery shopping websites."

What's the name of that organic food website you mentioned? I want to check it out too.

The group chatted and laughed, and finished their meal in no time.

After finishing her meal, Xiaomeng left the restaurant, intending to take a walk in her own yard to digest her food.

Cuiling cooked some baby food, preparing to feed it to DouDou. Lawyer Lang seemed quite interested, waiting nearby to watch the child eat.

Xiaomeng stood with her hands on her hips on the steps in front of her house, took a deep breath, and said, "It's better to be in the south. The temperature is comfortable right now, perfect for a walk. It's too cold in Beijing now. I haven't gone for a walk after dinner in ages."

"Wow, Xiaomeng, you have such a handsome golden arowana!" Xiaomeng heard Xiao Tang exclaiming in their living room.

Yes, they also have a few nice feng shui fish at home.

She went to the capital shortly after buying the feng shui fish last time and hasn't paid any attention to it since.

Fortunately, there are housekeepers at home who take care of the animals, and they are all doing well.
