Chapter 468 The Xu Family Visits the Countryside for New Year’s Greetings
Compared to the city, the New Year atmosphere in the countryside is obviously stronger.

Because neighbors are all relatives I have known since childhood, everyone comes back for the New Year and visits each other, so they all know each other.

I haven't seen some relatives for a year, so I have a lot to talk about.

If you do well outside, you will have even greater success.

For example, Li Guohong has been happy to wander around and chat with his neighbors these days, and inadvertently let others discover that he has a new car.

As for the feeling of the New Year, it is obvious that I can experience the joy better when I am a child compared to when I grow up.

In other words, before children get married and start their own families, it is the adults who create the festive atmosphere for them.

When I grow up and have a family, I will be responsible for creating the New Year atmosphere for my children.

With responsibilities on your shoulders, many things feel different than before.

Li Luo never got married in his previous life and he is still young in this life, so he doesn't have a deep understanding of this.

But having lived two lives, I regard the feeling of the New Year as something precious and savor it every day.

On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Wanqing came here. After settling down at night, she basically followed Lin Xiuhong's activities on the second and third days of the Lunar New Year.

Either play mahjong or go out and chat nearby.

Lin Xiuhong took Yuan Wanqing out and walked around the neighborhood. Soon, all the neighbors and relatives knew that a big star had come to Li Guohong's house.

I've also been on the Spring Festival Gala.

However, the older generation in the countryside does not have the so-called fan circle mentality of chasing stars. After being amazed for a while, there is no follow-up. At most, it becomes a topic of conversation after dinner.

Even if there were young people, most of them would just come over shyly to ask for an autograph, or take a simple photo, which they would then happily show off to their peers.

By the fourth day of the New Year, Yuan Wanqing had completely integrated into the environment here. In the evening, she even took the initiative to go to the kitchen and cooked a dish under the guidance of Lin Xiuhong.

In Li Luo's memory, because he and Ying Chanxi broke up when they graduated from junior high school in his previous life, the two families no longer had meals together during the Chinese New Year.

Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng have a good relationship, but only in private.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi ignored each other and stayed in their houses in the countryside during the New Year, so naturally they could not see each other.

In this case, because Ying Zhicheng planned to wait until college to confront his daughter, it was impossible for him to bring Yuan Wanqing home to celebrate the New Year in advance.

A scene like the one before us, where Yuan Wanqing cooks a dish and serves it on the table for Ying Zhicheng and the others to taste, probably never happened in my previous life.

So when she went to bed at night, Lin Xiuhong turned over in bed and looked at Li Guohong next to her. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did Zhicheng say anything to you in private?"

"What did you say?" Li Guohong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Xiuhong was saying at all. "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"

"It's Wanqing." Lin Xiuhong poked his arm with her elbow and gossiped in a low voice, "I always feel that there's something wrong with the way Wanqing looks at Zhicheng."

"What do you mean?" Li Guohong was not a fool. After hearing what Lin Xiuhong said and seeing her winking expression, he immediately realized, "How is that possible! Are you overthinking it?"

"Why else would Wanqing be willing to stay here for a few more days?"

"Old Xu and his family are coming to visit us. Let's get together and celebrate the New Year together." Li Guohong said.

Although since he knew that Yuan Wanqing was Yan Zhusheng's mother, Li Guohong never said that he was a fan of Yuan Wanqing again.

But deep down, he still has a bit of an idol filter for the big star Yuan Wanqing.

When they met privately, Yuan Wanqing was Yan Zhusheng's mother, and they were all parents.

But when I saw news about Yuan Wanqing on the Internet, that was the big star Yuan Wanqing, the voice that often appeared in his playlist.

And now his wife tells him that her favorite female singer might be interested in his best friend?
That's really scary!

"You haven't spent much time with Wanqing these past few days, but I've been with her the whole time. You don't understand."

"You don't understand!" Li Guohong said unhappily, "They both have children, how could it be the situation you described?"

"They have a child, but they are both single now." Lin Xiuhong said as a matter of course, "And isn't Wanqing's studio affiliated with Zhicheng's company? They have a lot of contact with each other, so it's normal for them to fall in love with each other over time, right?"

"That's impossible." Li Guohong shook his head repeatedly, "Don't you know Zhicheng's feelings for Ruqing? It's not like there haven't been women pursuing him before. After Ruqing left, do you think he has any other thoughts?"

These words really touched Lin Xiuhong's heart.

Before Ying Chanxi's mother Yan Ruqing passed away, Lin Xiuhong and Yan Ruqing were very good sisters because the two families had a good relationship.

When Li Luo and Ying Chanxi were young, she and Yan Ruqing often took the two children to travel around.

Although they basically just travel around Yuhang City, it is very good for the two children to broaden their horizons.

Yan Ruqing is an excellent student and has her own ideas about educating children.

At that time, Lin Xiuhong thought that Yan Ruqing was highly educated and capable, so she followed him when taking care of the children.

It’s a pity that Yan Ruqing died early, and Lin Xiuhong lost her study partner. Later, she gradually became a Chinese-style parent, always using Ying Chanxi’s grades to suppress Li Luo.

But then again.

"I think Wanqing is also a good match, right?" Lin Xiuhong thought about it and said, "Zhicheng has spent more than ten years raising Xixi with great difficulty. Now Xixi will soon go to college. He has completed his mission, so he should have a life of his own, right?"

"You're right, but it's not necessarily Yuan Wanqing." Li Guohong was still a little stubborn.

"Are you interested in her?" Lin Xiuhong glanced at Li Guohong and said coldly, "You said you were her fan before?"

"How can you keep talking nonsense!" Li Guohong was speechless. "Fans are fans, but how can they be considered the same?"

"Then I think Zhicheng is also interested in Wanqing." Lin Xiuhong said, "Look, when Wanqing went to the airport and came back, wasn't Zhicheng the one who picked her up and dropped her off? How could they not have a driver?"

"The driver also wants to celebrate the New Year." Li Guohong retorted, "I think you should stop gossiping. You are having a typical midlife crisis. You are starting to worry about others. You might as well take care of yourself."

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm too old?"

"I didn't say that."

"Li Guohong, explain it to me clearly."

"I go to sleep."

"stand up!"

"Hey hey hey! If you want to talk, just talk it over. Why are you using force?"

……

The fifth day of the new year.

Qianjiang University staff housing building.

It was early in the morning, just after six o'clock, and Cui Suling and Xu Rongsheng were still asleep.

As a result, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Youyu, wearing pajamas and slippers, strode into the room, walked to the window and pulled the curtains, muttering to himself:
"Sleep, sleep, sleep. All you do is sleep all day long. Don't you even know what time it is now?"

"The sun is about to burn your butt, why don't you get up quickly?" "You usually have to get up early for work, but now that you're on vacation you're slacking off? Why don't you get up quickly?"

Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling were lying on the bed. After being awakened by Xu Youyu's voice, they opened their eyes with difficulty, looked at the still dim sky outside the window, and then looked at Xu Youyu who was standing beside the bed with his hands on his hips. They were in a trance for a moment.

Cui Suling rubbed her eyes, picked up her cell phone and took a look. She found that it was only 6:10 and was stunned for a moment.

"No...what are you crazy about?" Cui Suling looked at her daughter again and said speechlessly, "It's only six o'clock, why are you making so much noise?"

"Isn't this how you usually wake me up?" Xu Youyu said with a smile, and was about to lift their quilts, "Hurry up and get up."

Seeing this, Xu Rongsheng quickly grabbed the quilt and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't move, get up! Get out first!"

"Then hurry up! Clean up and we'll go downstairs for breakfast!"

Xu Youyu ran out of the room in his slippers and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Only Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling were left in the room, looking at each other, each more confused than the other, thinking that Xu Youyu had been possessed by someone else.

"What's wrong with her?" Cui Suling had just woken up and her mind was still a little confused. She scratched her head, not quite understanding the situation.

"What else could it be?" Xu Rongsheng sighed, took out his phone and looked at it, then gestured to Cui Suling, "What's the date?"

"It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, what's going on?"

"Didn't we make an appointment to visit Li Luo's house today to wish him a happy new year?"

"correct."

"Our daughter can't wait any longer." Xu Rongsheng said helplessly.

After being awakened by Xu Rongsheng, Cui Suling immediately reacted and did not know whether to laugh or cry: "She is too outrageous. During the New Year holidays, how could she get up so early like today? Shouldn't it be after ten o'clock before I pulled her out of the quilt?"

"How can that be compared?" Xu Rongsheng lifted the quilt, got out of bed, changed his clothes, and sighed faintly, "Girls grow up and can't be kept, it's just a bit troublesome."

"What's bothering you? Li Luo is still not well." Cui Suling got out of bed and joked while changing clothes, "If they can really make it, I'd be happy. I can just let them hold their grandchildren when they are in college."

"Is that the problem?" Xu Rongsheng shook his head and said, "Aren't there Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng? Your daughter may not be able to win."

"Especially since she will be attending university in the second half of this year, she will have less time to spend with Li Luo and the others."

"If our relationship has faded in this year, it will be over. After all, we are still children."

Xu Rongsheng is very open-minded about this.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these three girls seem to have a very good relationship with Li Luo.

But who hasn’t gone through childhood?
When many people are young, they may have one or two people of the opposite sex around them with whom they have a very good relationship.

But only very few can actually make it to the end.

Cui Suling also understands this.

So when they usually talk about the things between Xu Youyu and Li Luo, the two of them actually talk about it in a half serious and half joking way.

Because the children are still young, it is unclear what will happen in the future.

Even if Li Luo didn't end up with any of the three girls and instead chose a girl they had never heard of before, it was still a possible thing.

"Why do you care so much? I'm just talking." Cui Suling waved her hand and went to wash up with Xu Rongsheng.

At 6:30 in the morning, the three members of the Xu family went out and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Then he went home to pack the things he would take to pay New Year's greetings. At 7:30 in the morning, Xu Rongsheng drove the mother and daughter to Li Luo's home.

"Do you remember how to get there?"

More than half an hour later, Xu Rongsheng drove to the gate of Lijia Village and asked Xu Youyu, "You came here once last year, right?"

"How can I remember this clearly?" Xu Youyu shook his head repeatedly, then opened the car window and looked out. Immediately, his eyes lit up and he waved at a figure at the door, "Li Luo! Here, here, here!"

Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling both looked when they heard the sound and saw a figure at the entrance of Lijia Village walking towards them.

It was Li Luo.

"Uncle and aunt, Happy New Year."

Li Luo walked to the side of the car and politely greeted Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling who were in the car.

Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling also nodded with a smile.

Xu Youyu in the back seat couldn't wait any longer. He pushed open the door and got out. He grabbed Li Luo and pulled him to the back seat: "Why are you being so polite to my parents? Hurry up and get in the car. How are we going to get out after we get in?"

Li Luo was pulled to the back seat by Xu Youyu. After closing the door, he sat in the middle seat and gave directions to Xu Rongsheng.

"Uncle Xu, go straight first, then turn left at the wider intersection."

As he said this, Xu Rongsheng restarted the car. Li Luo, who was sitting in the back seat, looked normal, but his hand was still being held by Xu Youyu. Gradually, the warm little hand held it tightly until their ten fingers were intertwined.

Thinking that Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling were still sitting in the front, Li Luo didn't dare to say anything and could only silently endure the harassment from Sister Youyu.

"Are we going from here?" Xu Youyu deliberately moved closer to Li Luo, and together they looked at the road in front of the car, sticking close to him. "Why do I remember that I could go in directly from here before?"

"Of course people can walk directly, but cars are difficult to drive, so we still have to use the village driveway." As Li Luo said this, he felt that Xu Youyu's squeezing on his arm was a bit unbearable.

Even wrapped in a down jacket, it still couldn't completely conceal the softness.

But this enjoyment did not last long.

Li Luo directed Xu Rongsheng in which direction to drive, and after a while, the car arrived at the gate of Li Luo's house.

"Uncle Xu, you can just drive in. There's plenty of room in the yard."

"Okay." Xu Rongsheng nodded and parked the car next to Li Guohong's car.

At this time, Li Guohong, Lin Xiuhong, Ying Chanxi, Yan Zhusheng, Ying Zhicheng, Yuan Wanqing and others were already waiting in the yard.

As soon as the car stopped, Xu Youyu opened the door and got out, greeting Li Guohong and others happily.

"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt!"

The four elders all smiled and nodded in response.

After Xu Youyu greeted them, he set his sights on Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng standing beside them. He ran over, opened his arms with a smile, and hugged them both in his arms.

"Xixi Zhusheng~ I miss you so much~"

Li Luo had just got off the car at this time. When he saw this scene, he suddenly felt the eyes of the six parents were on him, which made him feel a chill all over.

However, the glance was fleeting, and Li Luo thought it was just an illusion.

After the six parents withdrew their gaze from Li Luo, they looked at Xu Youyu and the other two who were hugging each other, and each of them had a complicated expression on their face.

I don’t know what to say.
