Chapter 739: Damn, I am surrounded by my daughter-in-law
New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve.

It snowed heavily today, which was quite appropriate, and added a bit of festive atmosphere.

Although fireworks are prohibited in the urban area, you can still see many people secretly setting off fireworks near the river next to the community.

This kind of thing is difficult to ban, and it is impossible to manage it strictly in small places.

After finishing the call with Chen Duling, Lin Li put away his phone and walked into the living room. He immediately saw Zhang Ruonan busy in the living and dining room.

At this moment, the whole house was different from when they first came back.

Red decorations can be seen everywhere in the living room.

Auspicious flowers are placed next to the TV. The kumquat tree symbolizes a bright future and good fortune, while the daffodils represent good luck, reunion and happiness.

The coffee table was piled with apples, persimmons, oranges and other fruits, and the dining table was covered with a brand new red tablecloth.

The windows are covered with window grilles of various shapes, including lifelike zodiac animals and auspicious floral patterns. Under the light, they look particularly festive.

There are also Chinese knots hanging on the wall; the bright red color and exquisite shape add a peaceful atmosphere to the house.

Zhang Ruonan was wearing a new Chinese style red cotton coat. The bright red color looked like a burning flame, making her little face look pink and rosy.

The buttons on the cotton coats are all carefully handmade by experienced craftsmen. They come in various shapes, some are traditional round, while others are unique and innovative flower shapes.

The embroidery craftsmanship is even more exquisite. The patterns on the neckline, cuffs, hem and other parts are lifelike, with graceful blooming peonies, graceful flying butterflies, etc., adding a sense of refinement.

This outfit was specially picked out by Li Ping when she took her to a local clothing store with an excellent reputation two days ago.

Today is New Year's Eve, and Zhang Ruonan is wearing this outfit.

She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, with a few strands of hair playfully falling down, swaying lightly with her movements.

I saw her busily moving back and forth in front of the dining table, cutlery in her hands, her movements light as the wind and skillful.

She first carefully placed the white plate in the center of the table, and then placed the chopsticks and spoon neatly on both sides of the plate.

Then, she placed the dishes one by one in the most suitable positions to ensure their aesthetics, stopping from time to time to look around, her expression extremely focused.

She had her hands on her slender waist, and just from a distance, you could tell that she was in a very good mood.

Lin Li glanced at his parents who were busy in the kitchen, walked quietly behind Zhang Ruonan, and gently put his arms around her waist.

Zhang Ruonan's body tensed at first, then quickly relaxed and moved back into his arms.

"Did you finish the phone call?"

"Ah."

"Is it Xiaotian? Or is it Sister Duling?"

"It's Toot."

"So, is she coming over too?"

"She's not coming. She plans to return to the capital early after the New Year to tidy up the house and redesign and renovate some parts of the house. She says it's a new beginning for the New Year."

"She's not coming?"

Zhang Ruonan turned around and looked up at him with a surprised expression.

This was somewhat different from what she had expected. She had thought that Chen Duling would definitely not be able to sit still this time.

"Yes, that's what she said."

"But it looks like Oda and the others will probably come over."

“I hope this won’t become a hot topic again.”

Lin Li looked down at her with a helpless expression.

"Heh... probably not."

Zhang Ruonan smiled awkwardly and said hesitantly.

She naturally knew that the incident was caused by herself.

Lin Li smiled casually and didn't take it seriously.

Some things are bound to happen sooner or later, so it doesn’t matter if they happen earlier, you just have to face them.

"You two stop whispering. The food and soup will be ready soon. Go wash your hands and eat."

At this time, Li Ping's loud voice came from the kitchen. Lin Li and Zhang Ruonan smiled at each other, responded to each other, and walked over hand in hand.

After a while, the four of them sat down at the dining table. The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV in the living room. They ate and chatted, occasionally discussing the programs of the Spring Festival Gala. The atmosphere was very good.

After the meal, Zhang Ruonan also received the New Year's money specially prepared by Lin Li's parents.

Although the amount was nothing considering her current income, it made her so happy that she could hardly stop smiling.

That night, she smiled almost non-stop.

New Year's Eve was spent quietly in such a harmonious atmosphere.

The next day, the entire Weibo was filled with various discussions about last night's Spring Festival Gala program.

Seriously, it's mainly for complaining.

It is not surprising that in order to satisfy the viewing preferences of the public of all ages, the Spring Festival Gala likes to make a big fuss about the popular and popular artists of a particular year.

But no matter what, the special nature of the Spring Festival Gala cannot be completely overwhelmed by traffic.

This year's Spring Festival Gala was almost entirely filled with complaints from the moment the live broadcast began last night.

It’s okay for top stars like Reba, but many male and female artists who just emerged last year also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage, causing the value of the Spring Festival Gala to decline rapidly, which became the fundamental reason for netizens’ complaints.

In the past, in the eyes of the public, the Spring Festival Gala was a sacred stage for the older generation, and it was a great honor to be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

Being able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala is also a recognition of one's status in the entertainment industry and previous efforts, whether it is an actor's acting skills, a singer's singing skills, or a sketch actor's eloquence.

Now, it seems that as long as one has some fame, one can perform on the Spring Festival Gala, and some truly talented entertainers have begun to decline invitations to the Spring Festival Gala, which shows the change in the status of the Spring Festival Gala in the hearts of the public.

Of course, it’s not entirely without highlights.

Many netizens said that last night's martial arts program highlighted the grand momentum, and the water ballet program used underwater shots with novel ideas, which showed that the director team was able to liberate their minds and not stick to the traditional Spring Festival Gala production model. Their approach deserves recognition.

In addition, the magic show, which had been away from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage for many years, returned again. Liu Qian's close-up magic performance was still good, which caught the audience's attention and was able to create topics of discussion.

Compared with previous Spring Festival Galas, the opera program boldly uses local operas such as Henan opera and Cantonese opera to cater more to regional audiences.

In addition, the host's words were concise and colloquial, and most ordinary people could understand them. This was in contrast to the official language used in previous Spring Festival Galas, and was fully recognized by most netizens.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Li was not idle either.

According to the custom of previous years, I naturally went to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings first. The difference was that this time I brought one more person.

When Lin Li's uncle saw Zhang Ruonan, the first thing he did was to ask Lin Li's cousin to go downstairs to the supermarket at the entrance of the community to buy red envelopes.

Then, together with Lin Li's aunt, they each gave Zhang Ruonan a big red envelope.

Bringing your girlfriend home for the first time, even though they are not married yet, is something they take very seriously. What’s more, since she is Lin Li’s girlfriend, it’s naturally even more different.

On this day, Zhang Ruonan received a very warm reception.

Similar situations continued for several days.

Lin Li has an uncle, two uncles, and an aunt.

We took turns walking there every day for four consecutive days.

Until the fifth day of the New Year, the whole family stayed at home, because Lin Li’s two uncles had agreed to come together today, and they wanted to cook and entertain them at home.

That's how it is over there. Basically, relatives from my father's side and relatives from my mother's side will make an appointment to come over on the same day, and then everyone will get together and have some fun.

So, starting from early morning, except for Lin Li, Zhang Ruonan and his parents were busy in the kitchen.

As an idle staff member, Lin Li was responsible for running errands for them, such as getting this, finding that, and if there was a lack of ginger or seasoning, he would solve all the problems.

In short, I'm always at your disposal.

Zhang Ruonan said jokingly, "It's rare to see our teacher Nanxun being ordered around. This is really an eye-opener." Lin Li said nothing and just kept running.

Just after ten o'clock, as the doorbell rang, Lin Li smiled and welcomed his uncle and his second uncle's families in.

His father, Lin Feng, is the youngest of three brothers, and Lin Li is the fourth among his cousins.

There are two sons in my eldest uncle's family, and one son and one daughter in my second uncle's family. Apart from Lin Li, only my second uncle's cousin is still studying and has not yet started a family.

This time when they came, almost everyone was holding a child.

"Come, girl, come into your uncle's arms."

After saying hello, seeing that their attention was drawn to Zhang Ruonan and they were looking at her curiously, Lin Li then hugged his second cousin's daughter into his arms and started to tease her happily.

My second cousin’s daughter is four years old this year. She is pretty, with red lips and white teeth. She is at her cutest. She has a good personality and is especially well-behaved.

Every time Lin Li saw her, he couldn't let her go, especially when he saw the mushroom head hairstyle she had this year, he thought she was so adorable.

The girl obviously didn't remember him. She just stared at him stupidly, not daring to say a word. She looked very funny with her two big round eyes.

Lin Li glanced at Zhang Ruonan, who handled the situation with ease among so many relatives and friends, and nodded secretly.

Our classmate Xiao Zhang is impeccable in dealing with people and is the one that is most liked by the elders.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than ten people in the house. Fortunately, the house in No. 1 Courtyard was about 200 square meters, so it didn't seem too crowded after everyone was seated.

"Ding Dong"

At this time, the doorbell rang again. Lin Li glanced at the people who were already in the house and had an idea in his mind.

The person who rings the doorbell at this time should not be a relative of the family.

In this case, the answer is obvious.

I just don't know who will arrive first.

Lin Li walked to the door holding his little niece in his arms and opened it.

"Dangdang! Happy New Year! Give me the red envelope!"

"Hey, whose doll is this? It's so cute."

The moment the door opened, I saw a cute girl with big eyes at the door, supporting her chin with both hands and greeting everyone with full energy.

Then, she skillfully stretched out her two tender little white hands to ask for the red envelope.

After seeing the little niece in his arms, the visitor's attention was immediately attracted. He took Lin Nannan's little hand and asked curiously.

"Happy New Year, Oda-san."

"My cousin's daughter, please come in quickly. We have guests at home today, but you didn't even tell us before you came."

"When you see this little guy in my arms, shouldn't you take out the red envelope first?"

Seeing that she was holding her niece's hand and was reluctant to let go, Lin Li teased her.

The person who came was Tian Xiwei.

"Ah, there are guests!"

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment, then immediately let go of Lin Nannan, adjusted her clothes and facial expression, put on a decent posture, picked up the gift prepared at her feet, and walked into the room with a smile.

"Happy New Year, everyone. My name is Tian Xiwei, you can just call me Xiao Tian."

After entering the room, Tian Xiwei immediately put down the gift in her hand, folded her hands in front of her in front of everyone in the room, bowed with a sweet smile, and looked very graceful.

She was wearing a light pink short down jacket with a fluffy collar that gently wrapped around her fair neck, making her look even more delicate and charming.

She wore white trousers on the lower body. The straight trouser legs showed off the slender lines of her legs, and the trouser legs were neatly tucked into a pair of white short boots, which was simple and stylish.

Her skin is as white as snow, with a pink luster. Under her neat bangs, her big watery eyes are bright and lively.

Under the straight nose, the cherry-like mouth is slightly upturned with a playful smile.

Her hair falls softly on her shoulders, and she looks sweet and well-behaved.

Everyone in the room was a little stunned at this moment. They looked at her, then looked at Zhang Ruonan in the kitchen, and didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

Zhang Ruonan had gone to their home with Lin Li two days ago, so they naturally knew each other. Although they had heard of this new girl before, they did not expect her to suddenly appear here.

Then the scene fell into a brief silence.

"Xiaotian, right? Happy New Year. Please take a seat."

"Everyone, stop standing and go sit in the living room, watch some TV, eat some snacks and fruits. Lunch will take a while."

At the critical moment, Lin Feng was the first to recover. He walked forward and greeted him with a warm smile.

As soon as he opened his mouth, others followed suit and greeted him.

Then, Lin Li saw Tian Xiwei secretly gave him a proud look, and then he was pulled by his cousin to introduce the elders in the house to her one by one.

Seeing her looking cute and well-behaved as she greeted all the relatives one by one, she received unanimous praise.

Lin Li really wanted to say that she was not usually like this.

Her hitting hurts so much!

"Hello, Auntie. Nice to meet you."

"Actually, Ali and I have been together since early 17. I should have come to visit earlier. I was rude."

Li Ping stared blankly at Tian Xiwei who was smiling sweetly in front of her, then glanced at Zhang Ruonan who was smiling faintly beside her, and blinked her eyes again and again.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's not too late now."

"Xiaotian, right? I know you."

"Oh, these eyes are so big and beautiful."

Then, at Lin Feng's eye signal, she quickly wiped the water off her hands, then grabbed Tian Xiwei's hand and looked at her with a smile.

The more I watch it, the more I like it.

"Auntie, you guys chat for a while, and I'll take care of the kitchen."

"Happy New Year, Oda."

At this time, Zhang Ruonan smiled and spoke.

"Happy New Year, Ruonan. Thank you for your hard work."

Tian Xiwei looked at her and said with a bright smile.

"fine."

Zhang Ruonan smiled faintly, then turned around and continued to work.
