Chapter 403 New Year’s Eve
"Wang Wang Wang!"

“Ahh…”

"Auntie!"

Seeing them coming out, a wolf and a dog ran over quickly. The little cub who was playing with Changxiao and the others also called out from a distance. Shen Xiangwan freed up a hand to touch the heads of the wolf and the dog and said, "I have something to do. I'm going to play with my brothers."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

“Ahh…”

The two cubs understood what she said and called out to her twice before running back. They were even more sensible and obedient than human cubs.

"Do they still drink water from the spiritual well every day?"

Looking at her wolf and dog sons, Wei Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked, she was too good to them. You know, no one else in the family had the blessing to drink the spiritual well water every day.

"Isn't it?"

Shen Xiangwan pretended to be helpless: "They are both very smart. They will never drink anything other than the water from the Spirit Well. They even mix their meals with the water from the Spirit Well. They eat more delicately than I do."

"Isn't it all your own fault?"

Wei Chengyi couldn't help but laugh. If she didn't want to, how could the two dogs force it? In the final analysis, she spoiled them too much.

"Yeah too!"

Shen Xiangwan did not deny it. The couple smiled at each other, and then they began to paste up Spring Festival couplets. The couplets that the branch family gave them were very complete. In addition to the ones for the front door, there were also couplets for every room in the house, even the kitchen and the storeroom, and each couplet had a character "Fu" on it. Of course, there were also couplets in the rooms where the guards lived, but they were not sent to them. Instead, they were given directly to Yuan Xiu, who had already posted them.

"Pa bang bang..."

At noon, several families set off firecrackers at the same time. The crackling sound resounded through the sky and earth, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles. According to custom, the New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten from noon to night, and it is not completely over until the end of the New Year's Eve. The table in the Wei family's main hall was filled with a variety of food, most of which were hard dishes, even seafood and roasted whole lamb that were not usually eaten.

"Another year has passed. I hope that in the coming year we will still have enough food and clothing, everything will go smoothly, and our children will be healthy and smart. Let's cheers!"

At times like this, it is usually the head of the family who should speak, but this time it was Shen Xiangwan who spoke. Wei Chengyi was happy to let her take charge of the situation, and naturally other people would not have any objections. At least in this family, they have become accustomed to Shen Xiangwan making the final decision on everything.

"Dry!"

Not only a few adults, but also the children raised their cups of hot soy milk high.

"Mom, Chengyi and I would like to offer you a toast. Thank you for taking care of the children while we were busy. You have worked hard."

After eating a few bites of the food, Shen Xiangwan raised her glass again with Wei Chengyi. Maybe Zhao Yuping was not a particularly powerful person, but she was a good mother and a good grandmother to her children. Without her help in taking care of the household, they would not be able to focus on their own affairs with peace of mind.

"What are you talking about? He is my grandson too. Isn't it my responsibility to take care of him?"

Zhao Yuping's eyes couldn't help but well up in tears. She really didn't expect that after being exiled, they could still live such a comfortable life.

"Really? Then I don't need to thank you!"

"You naughty kid!" "Haha..."

Shen Xiangwan pretended to be in realization and said something so irritating that Zhao Yuping was so amused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The others all burst out laughing. The children who didn't understand what was going on also laughed foolishly. The little Dumpling in the crib was even more screaming and squeezing the little yellow duck that Shen Xiangwan had given him with his hands, and the chirping sound was endless.

"Master, Master's Wife, thank you for staying here to protect us and help take care of this family. Cheng Yi and I would like to toast you and wish you good health and longevity!"

After laughing and joking, the couple raised their glasses again. Shen Xiangwan was still the one who spoke. Ji Shaohan and his wife were people of the underworld. They had no fixed place to live and were unruly from young to old. But for them, they were willing to stay in Yong'an Village, silently supporting and protecting them. Even their biological parents would do the same.

"You are the only one who talks a lot."

Pretending to glare at her in annoyance, Ji Shaohan raised his glass and clinked it with them. Yun Mengyi smiled lovingly and said, "No need to thank me. We are satisfied just to see you two being so affectionate and loving."

"Ah."

The couple smiled at each other, and drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.

Afterwards, Yue Ruyan, Wei Chenghe and Wei Linger also toasted Zhao Yuping and the other two, thanking them for their care and dedication. The little cub was very smart and imitated them, toasting them one by one: "Aunt, thank you for taking care of me, I love you the most."

The little cub held his cup high. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh and felt warm in her heart: "I like you the most, too. I hope you will be healthy and still so smart and cute next year!"

"it is good."

The little cub didn't know what modesty was, and he agreed immediately. The aunt and nephew drank the wine and soy milk in their glasses at the same time. Everyone else couldn't help laughing, and the New Year's Eve dinner continued in this joyful atmosphere. It was said that the meal lasted from noon to night, but in fact no one could really eat that much. They just didn't clean up the table after the meal and continued eating in the evening.

After filling their stomachs, the little cubs couldn't sit still, so they took firecrackers and took the wolf and the dog out to play. The adults gathered in the main room, chatting about what happened in the past year, looking forward to the coming year, and teasing the little dumplings from time to time. The laughter in the main room never stopped.

"Aunt, please hurry up, we should set off the fireworks."

After night fell, the little cubs urged Shen Xiangwan anxiously. It had been several months since they last set off fireworks, and they could no longer wait.

"Okay, okay, let's go now, okay?"

There was really nothing they could do with him, so Shen Xiangwan put down his chopsticks and took him out. Seeing this, the servants moved the fireworks stored in the warehouse outside one after another without any special instructions.

"Bang bang bang!"

They had just left when the Yan family not far away had already lit up the fireworks. Looking at the brilliant light exploding in the sky, the little cub became even more anxious and pointed at the biggest firework and shouted, "Aunt, I want to set off that one, can you set it off for me?"

"understood."

Shen Xiangwan felt a buzzing pain in his head. After he stopped making noise, he ordered the servants to move the largest fireworks to the bridge, and then disassembled the stick-shaped fireworks and handed them to the little cub. Then he waved to Xiao Dongzi and said, "Come and get whatever you want to play with. I can't take care of all of you."

"it is good."

Xiao Dongzi stepped forward obediently, and Wei Ling'er and others who followed him also joined in. Wei Chengyi took the initiative to take over the task of setting off the large fireworks, and Shen Xiangwan lit the stick-shaped fireworks for the little cub.
