Working until the morning of Little New Year’s Eve, Zhang Yu said goodbye to her colleagues at the office and, luggage in hand, prepared to head home.
She hadn’t managed to get a train ticket for the trip back, but it just so happened that several colleagues were driving home and would pass by her area.
Zhang Yu secured a spot in the car and planned to take a taxi home once they got off the expressway.
This time, she had booked a room again, planning to stay at home for a few days before packing her luggage on the second day of the New Year to go out and have fun.
En route, she received a call from Pan Juan, who asked if she would be able to return home that day.
It was only then that Zhang Yu remembered that today was the day the Zhang Family traditionally worshiped their ancestors—it was New Year’s Day for them.
The Zhang Family’s New Year celebration started from today, and the entire family would gather until the seventh day.
It was also the busiest time for the original owner of her body, and Zhang Yu took a moment to realize this.
Once she did,
Zhang Yu told them she was still on the road and wouldn’t arrive home until six o’clock, asking Pan Juan and the others not to wait for her.
These days, owing to her frequent cooking, Pan Juan’s culinary skills had improved quite a bit.
Zhang Dagu would not criticize Pan Juan’s cooking, knowing that no matter what he said about the food not being good, it wouldn’t be as good as what Zhang Yu made.
Moreover, Pan Juan’s cooking had indeed gotten much better in the recent days.
And ever since moving into the new house and seeing the clean and tidy space, Zhang Dagu felt a lot better emotionally.
He believed that getting angry would only make his health suffer, and with such a nice house, Zhang Dagu felt that he needed to stay healthy to live even better.
After Pan Juan hung up the phone, Zhang Dagu took a sip of tea and asked, “So, did she say she’s coming back tomorrow?”
Pan Juan pouted, “No, she’s coming back today.”
“But what’s the use of that if she’s only going to arrive at six in the evening?”
Pan Juan fidgeted with various concerns.
“What about my cooking…
If the ancestors find the food unsatisfactory this year, they, they…”
“Offer more money.” Zhang Dagu indicated that he had prepared extra ‘ingots’ for the ancestors this time.
“If they don’t like the food you make, they can go buy their own,” he said.
“As long as the money is right, everything else will fall into place.” Zhang Dagu assured Pan Juan not to worry; he had everything ready.
Oh, can it really be like that?
Pan Juan looked at the triumphant Zhang Dagu and thought about it.
Well, this rationale made sense.
These were the Zhang Family ancestors, after all.
If Zhang Dagu said it could be done this way, then so be it.
“Right, should we call them over for dinner today?” Pan Juan remembered that since they moved, the children had not once come over.
It was sad to admit, but it was mainly a relief.
They had money in hand and were living in a new house, which was certainly better than cramming into the old house.
“Call them,” Zhang Dagu said.
Despite his age, he was someone who loved to show off.
“Even though Little Yu’s purchased house is bigger and a duplex, it won’t be ready for at least two years.
As for decorations, she probably doesn’t have the money.”
“For at least the next ten years, our house will be the best,” exclaimed Zhang Dagu excitedly.
Pan Juan nodded incessantly, “Right, right, right.”
“I’ve also discussed it with Old Zhang and the others.
We’ll go play on the islands after spring arrives.”
“Actually, Old Zhang said that visiting the islands in winter is really fun.
The weather is hot, and there’s seafood to eat.”
“Isn’t it said that the housing prices there are high?” Pan Juan remembered Chiang Yun’s parents went to the islands during winter once and mentioned how expensive things were. freёnovelkiss.com
Even though Pan Juan knows she should treat herself well now, she still can’t bear to spend too much money.
Chiang Yun’s parents are so generous to go on an island vacation, and as for where the money comes from, Zhang Dagu does know a thing or two.
It’s just that he doesn’t want to make Pan Juan angry.
He’s really an unfilial son, no matter how well they treat them; as soon as they had a chance to go to the island, the first people they thought of were Chiang Yun’s parents.
In any case, if Zhang Guohua says anything biased again, they will definitely have a good talk about how biased his son is.
Anyway, he wanted to see who exactly was biased between the two of them, father and son.
Zhang Guohua and his family were actually looking forward to, waiting for a call from Zhang Dagu and his family.
It was the old lady who insisted that they should definitely not help them move, but the fact that not a single person helped them pack was really too much.
Even if they did call to ask about the old couple’s situation, the tone was sarcastic, and naturally, they didn’t enjoy hearing it after a few times.
As a result, the situation has become what it is now.
The old couple didn’t care about them anymore.
Today is New Year’s Eve, which used to be the day the Zhang Family celebrated the New Year, and also the start of everyone’s New Year celebration at the old house.
But the situation is different now; they must have offended Zhang Dagu and his wife.
If they don’t speak up, they would not dare to go over.
When they received Pan Juan’s call, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether Zhang Dagu and his wife still had grievances, at least they were given a way out.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hong thought about it and called Du Xia to discuss whether they should shop together.
The two quickly agreed on how many things to buy for Zhang Dagu and his wife.
As for Zhang Guohua and his wife, they didn’t even think of notifying them at all.
After Guohua hanged up the phone, he was so happy he called Chiang Yun to share the good news.
When Chiang Yun received the call, she asked with concern if Little Yu had come back yet.
Zhang Guohua had completely forgotten about this matter, but no worries, he knew even if Yu returned, it wouldn’t be until tomorrow.
When Chiang Yun found out Little Yu was coming back tomorrow, her first reaction was that Pan Juan made this call hoping she would return to do the work.
Chiang Yun remembered being busy with various chores at the old house, and what was the result?
They didn’t have a share in the house, and even Zhang Yi’s marriage was settled for just a hundred thousand.
Chiang Yun didn’t want to be a nanny anymore, thought for a moment, and told Zhang Guohua that she was on duty until four and couldn’t come over to help.
Zhang Guohua knew Chiang Yun was still angry and didn’t want to be a nanny, so he didn’t insist that she come.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t say a word to Pan Juan, who, after learning that Chiang Yun would come after finishing work at four, acknowledged this.
After hanging up, “This family really thinks we’re fools.
Today is the last day of work, and everyone is leaving early.”
“But her, she can’t even take a break early from work; if she doesn’t want to do chores, then just don’t do them.”
Pan Juan had actually almost finished all the work and was just waiting to cook in the afternoon.
Zhang Dagu watched Pan Juan busily and said, “We’ll hire someone to do chores in the future.”
Pan Juan was reluctant to part with the money, but having done so much, she was quite tired and after thinking about it, she didn’t insist.
“In the future, we’ll hire someone for cleaning, and after she cooks lunch, we’ll just heat up the food in the evening.”
Zhang Dagu felt he’s been a fool.
It wasn’t like they didn’t have money; he just didn’t think of this before.
“We should look after our health; nothing else is important.”
Pan Juan nodded, “Right, we have to look after our health.”
