Chapter 920: Chapter 233: New Year’s Eve (Part 3)

However, Xu Lin felt that the bustle at her house wasn’t genuine. It wasn’t the kind of joy that came from truly enjoying New Year’s Eve.

Do big families have a cooler vibe?

Xu Lin pondered this question.

What about Chi Linyue?

Now her whole family is back in Qionghai, even Chi Boyan, the Capital Official, returned to Qionghai today.

Xu Lin asked her, "Is it lively over there for you?"

"Quite lively."

"Xixi says she misses you."

Chi Linyue sent a selfie video of her holding Xixi, both facing the camera.

"Xixi, say hi to brother!"

"Brother, what are you doing? Xixi misses you."

In the video, this little girl waved, looking very cute.

Xu Lin: "Are you trying to trick me into having a kid?"

Chi Linyue: "Of course! Sneaky smile.jpg×3"

Xu Lin chatted with her for a while.

Then it was Rong Xiyi’s turn.

Rong Xiyi: "Xu Lin, I’m so lonely, I want to come back to your place. My home isn’t good at all, and I have no friends here."

"What about high school classmates?"

"I’m a sophomore now, where would I find high school classmates? I’m not familiar with them anymore."

Xu Lin thought about it and agreed. Speaking of which, he still kept in touch with Lei Haolong, but it was obviously not as close as during high school.

Moreover, Xu Lin was moving further away, and his social circle was spreading out.

To be fair, in college, he didn’t have much of a circle of peers.

Xu Lin: "I’ll drive over to pick you up on the third day of the New Year."

"Xu Lin, can we video call?"

"No, you should talk to Ms. Ren."

"Hmph, then I’ll chat with Mom!"

Not long after, Ms. Ren indeed started chatting with Ms. Ren.

Ms. Ren was busy preparing the yellow paper and candles needed for this afternoon.

Dad went to the village’s main square to buy couplets and firecrackers.

At this time, people from the town drove over to sell some New Year items, such as firecrackers and couplets.

Shang Wanjun sent New Year’s Eve blessings to Xu Lin this morning.

Recently, her house had been fully renovated.

Xu Lin watched the full house video she sent, decorated in Song-style because she spent over two million on renovations.

The overall decor looked very nice, full of the elegance of Song-style decor.

Of course, the scent of money was undeniable.

"When will you move in?"

"Early March, quite a bit of the soft furnishings haven’t been bought yet."

Shang Wanjun: "Come to my home then, to join us."

"OK."

"By the way, did you buy the air purifier? Keep it running for a month to see."

"I bought several, they’re always on."

Not long after renovation, this step is naturally necessary since the house is meant for long-term living. Early on, an air purifier is indispensable.

Xu Lin chatted with her for more than ten minutes.

In the afternoon.

Dad said he wanted to kill a chicken, and at this time, Xu Lin’s New Year’s Eve was officially beginning.

In the village, by two in the afternoon, people began setting off firecrackers and praying to gods.

The Xu home was doing quite well, even though it was just the three of them. But he had a few cousins, their family also had kids, making it very lively, with Xu Cheng and his two brothers adding up to over twenty people for the whole clan.

In the afternoon while pasting couplets on the old house, there were more than ten people from the three families gathered, it was bustling.

"In a few years, our family will be just as lively!"

Ms. Ren watched how many people there were at Uncle and Second Uncle’s, especially with a few kids jumping around, feeling quite envious.

But unlike Peaceful Years who are still very young, the youngest of Xu Lin’s nephews is already eight, and the oldest is thirteen, and they have the tall genes. This thirteen-year-old nephew is already 1.8 meters tall, and even the twelve-year-old niece is 1.7 meters tall. If not for their youthful looks, they’d have adult builds already.

In total, Xu Lin’s nephews and nieces add up to six.

All in all, Uncle and Second Uncle’s families were flourishing.

Bearing the responsibility of ensuring the Xu Family’s prosperity, Xu Lin said to Ms. Ren:

"I’ll work hard on that!"
