Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

It has always been heard that the inhabitants of the wing room would go to the old house for the New Year’s Eve dinner, but never heard of the old house’s occupants coming to the wing room for it!

The one to suggest this must be affiliated with Ms. Wang’s manipulation, even without Liu Sisi present would know this for sure!

But this works out just fine!

She noticed that despite her father’s slightly angered expression, more of joy was mixed within.

Even the way he looked at her held a subtle plea. She had seen this pleading look also in her grandfather’s eyes in her previous life. It was when her parents had passed away, and those so-called relatives came to kick her while she was down, her grandpa had shown such a look!

This look often flashed in her mind during those midnight dreams. Seeing her father show such a look, Liu Sisi’s heart immediately softened.

“You should be the one to handle this!”

Di Yelei’s face was red, even his dark complexion couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

“Chuckles! You’re shrinking back like this, where’s the behavior of a man of the house?”

Liu Sisi was amused by him!

“I meant what I said earlier, no matter what, that’s your brother, and they are your family. Plus, guests have arrived, and who has the principle to shun them away? Isn’t the purpose for everyone to gather to celebrate reunion? Go ahead and greet them!”

Even while speaking, she gave him a gentle push.

Seeing Liu Sisi was serious, Di Yelei finally loosened up and showed a big smile.

“Good Sisi, you are truly my Di Yelei’s lucky star!”

He stretched out his arms to hug her. But when she glared back, he quickly let go and started laughing. He then turned around, calling out loudly to welcome everyone to their seats.

“Come on everyone! Come quickly and gather. First, let’s offer our respects to our Di ancestors, then we can start eating”

His voice was particularly loud and excited!

It was also filled with so much pride that it made Liu Sisi raise an eyebrow in surprise.

It turned out that such matters could make him so joyful!

Ms. Wang’s eyes were darting around. This matter was naturally her idea..

Hum! Who would let that damned elderly woman make such a nonsensical suggestion of having this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner at her place? Where she wouldn’t lift a hand and incessantly talk. Not to mention Di Ah-Bao, that lazy freeloader or the flirt that’s always promiscuous, she didn’t care for them, not one bit!

Procrastinating while the day was gradually growing darker, her stove hadn’t started burning, she was helplessly lamenting over the scarce meat. At this time, Di Yelei rushed into the courtyard.

Her eyes shifted, seizing the opportunity of that elderly woman always wanting to be by her father-in-law’s side. Sure enough, a few of her words provoked them, saving herself from wasting any meat and instead got to feast on a huge table of delicious food!

She couldn’t help but rub her hands together, with a snicker on her face. This Ms. Wang was truly visionary!

Elderly Mr. Di didn’t say a word, and sat down while lighting the incense to offer to their ancestors, inserted the incense, and burned some paper money, then lighting the firecrackers…

After completing a series of trivial and complex tasks, they started to worship the ancestors from the oldest to the youngest, from the largest to the smallest.

Once more they thanked their ancestors, burning paper money and the firecrackers sounded once again.

It wasn’t until the incense was removed that the New Year’s Eve dinner formally began!

Ms. Wang, sitting nearby, couldn’t wait any longer and sat down at the table even before Elderly Mr. Di had a word.

“Ahem!”

Elderly Mr. Di coughed heavily, shooting her a glare.

Ms. Wang, oblivious to the fact that everyone in the room was looking at her, picked up her bamboo chopsticks and looked at the dishes on the table with excitement.

This disrespectful behavior embarrassed Ms. Zhao sitting next to her! She blamed herself for not disciplining her properly. The old man had never liked her, and now he was even more displeased. This thought made her fury grow, and she couldn’t help but yell at her!

“Wang! Are you a starving ghost or what? Are you going to starve to death if you wait for a moment?”

It really seems like if she isn’t scolded for three days, the roof will collapse!

Only then did Ms. Wang reluctantly get up: “I…I’m just starving…”

“Enough! Today is the New Year’s Eve dinner, no talking about life or death…everyone sit down and eat…”

It’s not terrible to not know the value of something, what’s terrible is to compare it!

Comparing Ms. Wang and Liu Sisi side by side, one is crafty, and the other is stunning. One is shying away, and the other is elegant. The extreme-fashion daughter-in-laws standing together make Elderly Mr. Di shake his head and lose his expectations for his daughter-in-law!

Once Elderly Mr. Di sat down, everyone naturally returned to their own places.

Because many extra people came over today, the two tables were directly joined together to form a rectangular table. Naturally, Elderly Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao sat at the top, with Di Gaoyuan, Di Yelei, Di Ah-bao, Di Cheng, Brother Gao (Gao Brother), Di Xuan, and Di Jie arranged on both sides.

However, Elderly Mr. Di swept his gaze over and pointed at Brother Gao and Di Jie: “You two, go over there…let Sisi and the Second Sister come and sit…”

This surprised everyone!

As soon as Elderly Mr. Di finished speaking, Brother Gao immediately objected, he sat down on the stool and began to refuse: “Why should I go over there? I want to sit here. I want to eat this bowl of steamed chicken, and…”

Before he could finish, Di Yelei reached out and grabbed his collar, lifting him in the air. With a casual throw, Brother Gao hadn’t come to his senses when he was thrown out of the hall, falling all over the place!

Di Yelei stood inside the hall, looking down at him: “You can either eat or not, it doesn’t matter! This is my house. If you want to be naughty, you can go back and be naughty in your own house!”

After speaking, he glared at him again.

Liu Sisi saw this scene and couldn’t help laughing with her eyes squinted.

Brother Gao had always behaved recklessly under the protection of Ms. Wang, she had long thought of teaching him a lesson. Seeing Di Yelei take action today, she was genuinely happy!

With Brother Gao taken away, Di Jie, who was young, sat down at the last seat.

In fact, Liu Sisi didn’t really feel any difference sitting at the head or the tail of the table. However, in such a situation, she naturally wouldn’t ruin the good deed of her father-in-law setting up prestige for her, and directly sat down on the position that everyone had moved away from.

So this time around, on Elderly Mr. Di’s left hand side, the seats in order were occupied by Di Yelei, Liu Sisi, Liu Zhi’er, Di Xuan, Di Ying. Liu Zhi’er’s arms were still holding Da Mao, and the rest of the people were all squeezed to the right side.

Di Gaoyuan didn’t look too pleased!

He still remembered clearly that at last year’s New Year’s Eve dinner, Di Yelei was sitting at the last seat!
