As everyone raised their glasses and beamed with smiles, the two families celebrated the New Year together for the first time.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Feng and Gao Yuqiang both got up and took out their phones.

Actually, while the two of them were having dinner, the phone had been vibrating non-stop.

They were all acquaintances exchanging greetings and New Year's wishes.

However, people usually call a little later, so that the two of them don't end up constantly answering the phone while eating.

As the two left their seats, Jiang Quansheng was somewhat puzzled.

Guan Xinyue smiled and waved her hand.

"Don't worry about them, they won't be idle even during the New Year."

Jiang Quansheng sighed upon hearing this.

"Being a high-ranking official seems glamorous, but it's actually quite busy every day."

Guan Xinyue couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Of course, this is considered a good situation. Back in the day, my husband Gao was busy outside for a whole week during the Chinese New Year."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xin immediately spoke up.

"I know, I know. It snowed heavily that winter, and there were a lot of traffic accidents and a fire."

Jiang Wuxi glanced at his grandson, his eyes filled with a mixture of heartache and pride.

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng and Gao Yuqiang entered two separate rooms, but before parting ways, Jiang Feng greeted Gao Yuqiang with a smile.

Happy New Year, Mayor Kaohsiung!

Gao Yuqiang laughed when he heard this.

"You little brat, trying to pull this on me? Happy New Year, you brat."

Jiang Feng smiled, then took the phone and went into the room.

His first New Year's greeting call was naturally to his teacher.

Happy New Year, teacher!

Yu Shuming glanced at Yan Qingwan, who was sitting next to him watching TV.

"Haha, Happy New Year, Xiaofeng! How about spending a happy New Year with your family?"

Jiang Feng said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, everyone seems to be having a good time. How about you and your wife, teacher?"

"Is Brother Yu back this year?"

Yu Shuming nodded slightly.

"I'm alright, I'm back. But I'm exhausted from just getting back today, so I'm already asleep."

Although Yu Shuming spoke lightly, Jiang Feng could sense the bitterness in his teacher's words.

After all, the teacher and his family might not be able to get together more than a few times a year.

"Haha, then Teacher Yu will definitely be able to stay for several days this time, right?"

Yu Shuming said with a smile.

"Yeah, this time I'm not just staying for a few days, I'm also bringing my girlfriend over in a couple of days."

"If possible, your brother Yu will get married this year."

Jiang Feng's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Really? Congratulations, teacher! You were just transferred to Liaoning and Zhejiang provinces last year, and now Brother Yu is settling down on his marriage this year."

Yu Shuming's face was also full of smiles. Just as he was about to say something, Yan Qingwan snatched his phone away.

"Is that Xiaofeng?"

Jiang Feng immediately nodded.

"Happy New Year, Madam! Wishing you joy and happiness in the new year, and that you grow younger every day...and soon hold your grandson in your arms..."

Yan Qingwan laughed so hard her eyes almost disappeared when she heard this.

"Hey, hey, Xiaofeng, I love hearing that! How are things between you and Xiaoxin? It's the first time your two families are spending the New Year together, there haven't been any conflicts, have there?"

"When do you and Xiaoxin have time to come over again...?"

Once Yan Qingwan starts talking, she can't stop.

Until Yu Shuming stopped Yan Qingwan with a smile.

"Alright, Xiaofeng still has a ton of calls to make during the Chinese New Year, so stop hogging the phone."

Yan Qingwan rolled her eyes at Yu Shuming upon seeing this, but still returned the phone.

"Alright, Xiaofeng, I won't take up any more of your time. Happy New Year! Don't forget to come and collect your red envelope later!"

Jiang Feng smiled and agreed, then said a few more words to the teacher before hanging up the phone.

Then one call after another was made.

Secretary Wu, Zhao Zhiping, and Li Guozheng are all provincial leaders.

There were also leaders from their county, including Gu Yifei, the former leader who has now been transferred to the Department of Agriculture.

After he finished making all the calls, his phone kept ringing with New Year's greetings from other officials.

Phone calls from Wang Bohao, Wang Zhenghui, and others, as well as Li Chengyi, Wang Zixing, Xing Weimin, and others.

Needless to say, Yu Jian and others also received numerous phone calls.

After we finished paying our New Year's greetings, it was almost midnight.

When Jiang Feng walked out of the room, Gao Yuqiang had not yet come out.

"Wow, Uncle Gao's really busy! It's almost 2 AM and he's still not out!"

Guan Xin and the others were watching TV together on the sofa when they heard this, and Gao Xin smiled and said.

"Of course! My dad's been a leader for so many years, he's definitely busier than you."

Jiang Feng smiled and nodded.

"That makes sense!"

Then he joined them to watch TV.

When midnight arrived, Jiang Feng immediately kowtowed to his grandfather to wish him a Happy New Year.

"Grandpa, Happy New Year! May you live a long and healthy life, as long as the Southern Mountains and as boundless as the Eastern Sea..."

Jiang Wu was delighted to see his eldest grandson wishing him a Happy New Year, and his gums were showing from smiling so much.

"Okay, happy new year to Xiaofeng too."

"Here, have a red envelope."

Jiang Feng carefully accepted the red envelope from his grandfather.

The elderly receive fewer and fewer red envelopes each year, and the time they can spend together for the New Year is getting shorter and shorter each year.

Gao Xin didn't hesitate. First, she wished her mother a Happy New Year, and then she wished Mr. Jiang Wuxi a Happy New Year.

Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't forget to care about Guan Yue.

"Happy New Year, Auntie! Wishing you a prosperous new year..."

Guan Xinyue accepted Jiang Feng's blessing with a smile.

"Okay, I also wish you a successful and peaceful new year."

As if she had just remembered something, she continued.

"Oh, by the way, I also wish you and Xiaoxin a speedy birth of a child, so that I can hold my grandson soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Quansheng couldn't help but interject.

"Hmm, it would be best if we could make a 'good' character (好, meaning good/happy) together, the two little ones are so cute."

Seeing this, Guan Xinyue couldn't help but agree.

"My dear in-law, you're right. However, twins can be quite dangerous, so we must make sure to book a hospital in advance."

"I'll handle that."

Jiang Quansheng continued.

"Then we'll take care of the money and the effort, and make sure Xiao Xin is well-fed and healthy."

……

Hearing this, Jiang Wuxi couldn't help but chime in.

The group started discussing how many children they would have in the future, and even Gao Xin's postpartum period.

Jiang Feng glanced at Gao Xin with a hint of helplessness.

Gao Xin, on the other hand, didn't mind at all and took the initiative to move closer.

"Hey, you can't just feed me the best food. You need to make sure my nutrition is balanced and also take care of my mindset."

"Nowadays, pregnant women are advised to have a balanced diet and not just eat highly nutritious foods, otherwise the baby will be too fat..."

Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head when he saw this.

He then joined in as well.

When Gao Yuqiang came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Wait, is Xiaoxin pregnant? Why are you talking about postpartum care here?"
