Lin Guixiang nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Shaliva immediately followed Lin Wu with meows.

Just then, Lin Guixiang seemed to remember something and came out of the kitchen, "Xiao Wu, wait a minute."

Lin Wu had just changed her shoes, "What is it, Mom?"

Lin Guixiang continued, "Ask your uncle and aunt, and Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao to come to our place for the reunion dinner tonight."

Last time Qiao Ran brought a lot of seafood, although Lin Guixiang had given some to the two aunts, there was still plenty left at home.

She and Lin Wu couldn’t finish it all.

It would be nice to have more people around for the New Year’s celebration today.

"Alright, Mom."

Lin Wu left with Shaliva in her arms.

The elevator was waiting on the 28th floor.

It quickly arrived at the 27th floor.

The door to Lin Bingqiang’s home was open.

Lin Wu put on slippers, "Uncle, Auntie."

"Sister is here!" Lin Guodong immediately ran over when he saw Lin Wu.

Lin Wu patted Lin Guodong’s little head.

Mother Zhao came out from the kitchen, still wrapping dumplings, "Xiao Wu, you’re here. I was about to send Jelly up to deliver some dumplings, but now that you’re here, you can take them back with you."

"Grandma Zhao, my mom also made dumplings at home," Lin Wu continued, "I came to get some dipping sauce for the dumplings."

Upon hearing that Lin Wu liked her dipping sauce, Mother Zhao was overjoyed and turned to Father Zhao at her side, "Old man, quickly get the dipping sauce for Xiao Wu!"

"Okay." Father Zhao turned and headed into the kitchen.

Lin Wu also mentioned to Mother Zhao about coming to their home for the reunion dinner that evening.

Mother Zhao nodded.

Ten minutes later, Lin Wu returned home with the dipping sauce.

After lunch, Lin Guixiang busied herself with preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Lin Wu, on the other hand, was putting up couplets and paper cuts.

As she was halfway through, Lin Bingqiang and Zhao Cuinong’s family of four arrived.

Lin Guodong jumped over to Lin Wu’s side, "Sister, let me help you with the couplets."

"Okay."

Zhao Cuinong came to the kitchen, "Big sister, what delicious things are we having tonight? Is there anything I can help with?"

Lin Guixiang, without standing on ceremony, laughed and said, "Then you can wash the abalones."

Grandma Zhao followed behind and entered, "Guixiang, did you fry meatballs today?"

According to the customs of Lin City Town Old Home, reunion dinner includes meatballs.

It symbolizes togetherness.

"Not yet," Lin Guixiang said.

Hearing this, Grandma Zhao immediately rolled up her sleeves, "Then I’ll help you with frying the meatballs together with Uncle Zhao."

"Okay," Lin Guixiang nodded, "then I’ll trouble you and Uncle Zhao."

Grandma Zhao chided, "What’s this about trouble, we’re all family here, isn’t it a bit distant to talk like that?"

Lin Bingqiang walked in from outside with a thermos, acting like a lord of the manor, "Seems everything is so well organized, can I just enjoy the fruits of your labor then?"

"Enjoy nothing! Big sister’s house just ran out of soy sauce and vinegar, you go buy some," Zhao Cuinong said without any politeness.

"Alright, alright! I’ll go."

Lin Bingqiang went to the supermarket happily to buy soy sauce and vinegar.

At the Lu Family home.

Grandma Lu sat in front of the couch, cutting out paper cuts and said, "Why hasn’t Manshan come back yet?"

Bai Lu smiled and glanced at her watch, "He said he’d be home by three in the afternoon, and it’s just two o’clock now. Don’t worry, if he said he’d be back today, he’ll definitely make it."

At that, Grandma Lu sighed softly, put down the paper cuts, her eyes filled with worry.

The elderly look forward to the New Year the most but also fear it.

They long for the family reunion.

Yet they dread that grandchildren from afar might not make it back in time.

No sooner had this remark been made than footsteps and voices were heard from outside the door.

"The young master is back."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu immediately rose from her chair and looked towards the door.

Soon, a tall figure walked in from outside.

The man was dressed in a well-tailored suit, with sharp brows and starry eyes, chiseled features, and carried a briefcase. Standing at roughly six feet two inches tall, he exuded a powerful presence, like a domineering CEO stepping out of a 2D world.

The Lu family had excellent genes, and if you looked closely, you could still see a bit of Lu Ye’s shadow in him.

Because of his work, Lu Manshan hadn’t been home for two years.

It had been two years since they last saw each other.

The son seemed to have changed a lot, and Bai Lu’s eyes moistened, "Manshan!"

Lu Manshan walked over with a smile, "Mom."

Bai Lu hugged Lu Manshan tightly, her voice excited, "Didn’t you say you’d be home by three? How come you’re back early?"

"I wanted to surprise you and Grandma," responded Lu Manshan in a gentle voice.

Grandma Lu looked at Lu Manshan, pretending to be aloof, "You rascal, I’m not surprised at all! Even if you don’t come back for ten years, I won’t miss you, no, not even in twenty or thirty years!"

Bai Lu, holding back tears, laughed, "Manshan, don’t believe what your grandma says, she’s been going on about you ever since you didn’t come back."
