“Mr. Li, you are not keeping a low profile anymore.” She poked Li Yanchen in the arm.

He smiled. “I went to the hospital for a short time, just over an hour. I saw someone chasing after the doctor, asking if there was any way to treat someone dear to them. At that moment, I realized that life is short. Our memories will fade away like a wisp of smoke. We can only leave stories behind to be remembered. If our story is written down, we’ll continue to exist.”

“Mr. Li, you’re quite the philosopher, aren’t you?” asked Lin Wan.

“Well said!” Li Meng chimed in.

“Now I understand why so many people write their biographies,” said Li

Yanchen.

“If you agree with it, then I don’t mind either,” said Lin Wan.

As night fell, the Li family’s courtyard was adorned with colorful lights.

Lin Wan observed Xia Mo’s cooking. Her style was similar to Auntie Huang’s. Lin Wan felt that she cooked similarly, so why did her food turn out so bad?

Lin Wan was deeD in thought. She was wondering where she had failed.

She observed Xia MO for two whole hours, right until the twelve dishes were served. She felt confident again.

There weren’t enough tables and chairs to accommodate everyone. The fathers brought over a table from someone else’s home and lined the tables together.

[Have a prosperous New Year!]

[I think eating together has become a habit for them.]

[Did no one think of Xuanxuan and the others? The kids have already arrived, but I don’t see Xuanxuan and Xinxin.]

[They’re on their way. After playing, they went straight to Xiao Yi’s house. They were ready to freeload on a meal, but they realized the house was empty.]

[Xuanxuan must not have expected that his house was hosting the dinner tonight.]

Li Zexin and Li Zexuan stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time.

“Brother Xuanxuan, is this our home?” Li Zexin rubbed his eyes once again.

“Seems like it… but it’s so unusual,” said Li Zexuan.

Li Zekai had finished sharing his snacks with his friends and was about to go and find his brothers. When he turned around, he saw them at the gate.

“Brother!” He smiled and rushed to them.

He pulled them inside.

“So… you haven’t forgotten the way to your own house. That’s something at least,” said Lin Wan when she saw her two stepsons arrive.

“Is there a celebration at our house?”

“Well… I guess I’m fine now. Is that reason enough to celebrate? Hurry and wash your hands. You’re covered in mud!” said Lin Wan.

[Xuanxuan looks genuinely surprised.]

[The freeloaders suddenly find themselves becoming the main hosts. How unexpected!]

[Aww… look at Jiejie. He is a true little host, entertaining all the other kids.]

Li Zexin walked straight to Xiao Yi. “When did you come? You didn’t even tell me! Brother Xuanxuan and I went to your house to find you, but your house was so empty.”

In the evening, they had planned to play basketball together, but then Xiao Yi’s teammates called him online. Li Zexuan and Li Zexin stayed back on the basketball court, while Xiao Yi left for his house. When they went to Xiao Yi’s house for a free dinner, they found it empty.

They didn’t expect everyone to gather here.

“Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Very unexpected,” said Li Zexin. “But I’m glad you are having dinner at my house!” “My mom cooked the dishes, ” said Xiao Yi.

Li Zexin was speechless.

“Children, let’s eat,” said Xia Mo. “Is everyone here?”

The children raised their little hands. “We’re all here!”

As the host, Lin Wan felt embarrassed that others had pitched in to cook the dinner. She cleaned the tables and washed the dishes to compensate. However, the other women stopped her.

“Wanwan, you haven’t completely recovered, you know. Let the men do the cleaning. ”

Lin Wan was forced to sit on a chair and rest. She felt restless.

After everyone went back, Lin Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zexuan sat next to his stepmother. “Mrs. Lin, do you like gatherings?”

Lin Wan almost shook her head, but then thought better of it and nodded. It was quite nice to eat and talk with everyone.

“Ms. Lin hasn’t fully recovered from her cold, so let her rest early. Brother Xuanxuan, Jiejie, let’s go to our rooms,” said Li Zexin. “Oh, how thoughtful!” said Lin Wan. “Goodnight, my little ones!”

“Gnndniøht Mom l”

“What?” Lin Wan was shocked. They had called her “Mom.”

She wanted to say something, but the children had already disappeared into their rooms.

Li Yanchen chuckled.

Lin Wan noticed him grinning. She patted his shoulder. “Where’s my medicine?”

“It’s ready. It’s lukewarm now. I’ll feed you, my wife.”

In another room, Li Zexin covered his mouth in disbelief. He giggled occasionally.

“Are you going crazy?” asked Li Zexuan.

“You wouldn’t understand,” said Li Zexin.

“Brother Xuanxuan, Brother Xinxin said that Brother Xiao Yi fed him with his own hands today!” said Li Zekai.

“Really? Pathetic! I’m going to go to sleep,” said Li Zexuan as he pulled the blanket over himself.

At Xiao Yi’s house, Xiao Tianlin and Xia MO soaked their feet in a bucket of warm water and talked.

“Honey, do you feel insecure about my job?” asked Xiao Tianlin.

In the past couple of years, his performance hadn’t fetched much, and most of the expenses were borne by Xia Mo. Li Yanchen’s words had affected him a lot today. Perhaps he should find a stable job with a good income.

It was funny to see a man in his forties stressing about finding a job. Xia MO was stunned by his question.

She wondered whether he was feeling insecure because everyone was sharing their achievements during dinner.

Tell me honestly… Do you think I should find a job with a stable income?”

“Find a job?!” asked Xia MO in surprise.

“Brother Li is right. We must have big dreams.”

“Are you planning to start a business?” Xia MO asked. “The market is tough this year. You are not thinking of taking on a challenge, are you?”

“At this age? I am not very good at business. Li Yanchen is planning to fund a research laboratory. I still have an undergraduate degree. I can work as an employee. Besides, there are many similarities between scientific research and learning magic…”

Xia MO truly admired her husband’s logic. He could find a connection in anything.

“I support whatever you want to do. Even if you do nothing, that’s fine with me.”

Xiao Tianlin hugged his wife and placed a kiss on her forehead.

On the fourth day of the livestream, there was still a bit of snow in the village.

After three consecutive days of fulfilling missions, the Festival Group declared the fourth day a cheat day. The families were left to do as they pleased.

Lin Wan decided to spend half her day wrapped up in her blanket and the other half basking in the sun..
