I loaded up the life makeover game

Chapter 163 A Lively Year
As the Spring Festival approaches, the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.

Chen Xiu'an also felt a little strange, why Rao Xuehui didn't look for her again after the last class reunion, and didn't even send him a message.

Chen Xiu'an took the initiative to ask, but Rao Xuehui didn't say anything, saying it was because her family was busy during the Chinese New Year.

This actually made Chen Xiu'an secretly relieved. After all, if this is the case, at least the other party should not come to the house suddenly to look for him again.

Don't worry about the embarrassing scene if Rao Xuehui and Jiang Zhi meet.

During this period of time, Jiang Zhi chatted with Chen Yuan more and more speculatively, and even made Chen Xiu'an feel that the other party was Chen Yuan's daughter, not his girlfriend.

Especially after Chen Yuan accidentally learned about Jiang Zhi's life experience, he felt even more sorry for this girl who was abandoned by her parents but still seemed very strong and independent.

Therefore, he told Chen Xiu'an several times in a row not to bully Jiang Zhi.

Chen Xiu'an yelled that he was wronged, because if he got to the bottom of it, he was actually the one who was bullied.

In particular, Jiang Zhi often played some colorful pranks, and then ran away in a hurry.

With Chen Yuan around, Chen Xiu'an could only sigh helplessly, and then suffered deeply.

"You guys have a stronger New Year flavor than Rongcheng."

Jiang Zhi looked at the lively street, the two of them went shopping today.

Although it was only in the park near Chen Xiu'an's home, there were still crowds of people. Basically, the whole family went out together, and even the Spring Festival couplets were pasted up at the entrance of the park.

"is it?"

Chen Xiu'an did not think of this.

After all, Chengdu has developed so well, and its population cannot match that of Bo.

"Rongcheng has developed too fast in recent years."

"But because of this, the city is becoming more and more modernized, and now even firecrackers are not allowed in the urban area during the New Year."

"Many people who go to Rongcheng to work will actually choose to go home during the Chinese New Year. Compared with the usual time, there are fewer people during the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Zhi opened her mouth to explain.

Chen Xiu'an nodded after listening.

In fact, he had never been to Rongcheng before, and he went there only after he went to university.

Of course, no one like Jiang Zhi, who has been there for nearly 20 years, knows about Rongcheng.

"very nice."

Chen Yuan looked at Chen Xiu'an and Jiang Zhi from behind, with a slight smile on his face.

In the past, because there were only him and Chen Xiu'an, even if it was Chinese New Year, the two of them seemed a little too deserted at home.

But after Chen Xiu'an brought Jiang Zhi back today, Chen Yuan felt that he had experienced the joy of a normal family celebrating the Spring Festival.

Especially when the three of them come out to play together, it can really make people feel happy.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xiu'an and Jiang Zhi were still in school, Chen Yuan would even have decided on their marriage now.

After returning from the park, Chen Yuan quietly found Chen Xiu'an, and then hesitated for a long time with a hesitant expression.

"What's wrong dad?"

Chen Xiu'an asked a little strangely.

Chen Yuan said, "Xiu'an, I have something to ask you."

"But I don't know how to speak."

After hearing this, Chen Xiuan felt a little strange, but she still said:
"Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Is there no money?"

Chen Xiu'an thought that Chen Yuan had run out of money to buy new year's goods recently, so he was embarrassed to ask his son for it.

After all, after Chen Yuan was discharged from the hospital, although his car wash business was re-opened, he still had a lot of money to spend.

"You stinky boy."

"Why do I want your money!"

"Keep your money for yourself, your father and I have money."

After Chen Yuan heard Chen Xiu'an's words, he looked angry.

Chen Xiu'an was puzzled after hearing this.

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Chen Yuan coughed twice, and then said:
"I want you to call your grandparents."

"Ask them if they would like to come to our house to celebrate the New Year together."

After hearing Chen Yuan's words, Chen Xiu'an was taken aback for a moment, and then said with some hesitation:
"Then I'll give them a call later."

"But maybe grandma and the others probably won't come."

"You have to be mentally prepared first."

After Chen Yuan heard Chen Xiu'an's words, he quickly said with a smile:

"it's okay no problem."

"If they don't want to come, forget it."

Chen Xiuan nodded.

Chen Xiu'an was actually not too surprised after hearing Chen Yuan's words.

After all, Chen Yuan actually took him to his grandmother's house many times before, but he was turned away without exception.

Back then, Chen Xiu'an's mother, Song Baolan, fell ill and died because of Chen Yuan's gambling.

Ever since that incident, my grandparents hated Chen Yuan.

So many years have passed, but still not much has changed.

Moreover, the two elders asked Chen Yuan to hand over the custody of Chen Xiu'an many times, but they were all rejected.

Many of these things really cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Anyway, Chen Yuan and Chen Xiu'an are two people every New Year's Eve, basically there is no such thing as visiting relatives.

After talking with Chen Yuan, Chen Xiu'an dialed the number of his grandparents.

The two elders are also getting older, Chen Xiu'an actually talked to them on the phone during the Chinese New Year before, but in fact, I have to talk about it carefully, I don't know how many years ago when we actually met.

"Who?"

The phone was connected, and the old man's voice came from inside.

Chen Xiu'an quickly said, "Grandma, it's me, Xiu'an."

Chen Yuan looked at Chen Xiu'an who was on the phone not far away, with a nervous expression on his face.

But he didn't intend to go forward to listen, just walked back and forth.

After about ten minutes, Chen Yuan saw Chen Xiu'an hung up the phone and walked towards him.

Chen Yuan hurriedly asked nervously, "How about Xiu'an?"

"Are your grandparents coming?"

In fact, Chen Yuan basically didn't have much hope.

Before, even Chen Yuan didn't have the courage to ask Chen Xiu'an to invite them to celebrate the New Year.

This time it was also because his daughter-in-law came to the house. Chen Yuan thought this time, if possible, let Chen Xiu'an call the two old people to see if he could agree to come here for the New Year.

But to Chen Yuan's surprise, Chen Xiu'an said with a smile:
"Grandma agreed."

"I said I would come over on New Year's Day, but uncle also wants to come with me."

After Chen Yuan heard what Chen Xiu'an said, he couldn't believe it for a while.

"Xiu An, is it true?"

"Mom, did your grandma really say that?"

Chen Xiuan nodded.

"Ah."

Chen Yuan was so excited that outsiders couldn't understand.

But Chen Xiu'an knew why her father was so excited.

Because if grandpa and grandma agree to come over, it means that the elders should probably forgive Chen Yuan.

Then Chen Xiu'an saw that her father started packing up the room ahead of time, and gave it to grandparents and uncle who were coming over.

The whole person seemed extremely excited and excited.

Time passed quickly, and it was the New Year's Day in a blink of an eye.

Chen Yuan, Chen Xiu'an and Jiang Zhi worked together in the kitchen for most of the day, preparing for today's New Year's Eve dinner.

In the afternoon, Chen Xiu'an's grandparents and uncle came over.

"Dad, mom."

"breeze"

Chen Yuan wiped his hands, and then greeted him a little stiffly.

The two old men are both old, but they seem to be in good spirits.

But he didn't give Chen Yuan a good look. After simply nodding his head, he walked to Chen Xiu'an's side to greet him.

Chen Xiuan's uncle Song Feng is now in his 30s and almost [-]s, but he is still single.

I had a wife before, but later divorced.

She doesn't have any children, and now she still lives alone, and goes to the countryside to visit Chen Xiu'an's grandparents from time to time.

This time it was the other party who brought the two of them over to Chen Yuan's place.

As a manager of a real estate company in Bo City, he is not short of money, but he doesn't look good towards Chen Yuan either.

After snorting coldly, he ignored the other party.

At the beginning, he firmly disagreed with his sister marrying Chen Yuan.

After Song Baolan passed away, she looked down on her brother-in-law even more.

There is even a lot of hatred.

If it wasn't because Chen Yuan dragged Chen Xiu'an to grow up, Song Feng would probably have taught Chen Yuan a lesson.

"Xiu'an, this is?"

Grandpa and grandma naturally found Jiang Zhi who was standing beside Chen Xiu'an.

Chen Xiu'an introduced, "Grandma, she is my college classmate, Jiang Zhi."

"Grandpa and grandma are good."

Jiang Zhi said in a very obedient manner.

The two old men didn't have a big reaction because of Jiang Zhi's dirty braids. Instead, they smiled happily and said, "Hello, hello!"

The two old people showed kind smiles to Chen Xiu'an and Jiang Zhi the whole time.

Chen Yuan found that the three of them were not angry at all with their attitude towards him, instead they greeted him very enthusiastically all the time.

Because all the ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner are prepared, the time-consuming dishes are basically prepared early. At this time, it is only necessary to fry some dishes that need to be fried at the end.

Chen Xiu'an and Jiang Zhi helped serve the dishes, while Chen Yuan was busy in the kitchen.

Chen Xiuan gradually began to hear the sound of firecrackers set off by various households outside.

The sky had already darkened.

On the TV is the interview program of the stars of the Spring Festival Gala that has not yet started.

"Don't be too busy, sit down and prepare to eat."

Chen Xiu'an's grandma suddenly spoke when she saw Chen Yuan busy.

Chen Yuan brought the dishes. After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile on his face:
"It's okay, mom, there are some last dishes."

"Sit down for a while, it'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon!"

Not only Jiang Zhi, but also Chen Xiu'an, even Song Feng and the two old people, it's been a long time since they had such a lively new year.

Since Song Feng's divorce, in fact, many times, the Chinese New Year is spent with the two old people.

As the two old people got older, they naturally envied the scene of other families in the village full of children and grandchildren.

But I also know that because of the failure of Song Feng's original marriage, there seems to be a shadow behind him, and he has never looked for it again.

They urged it, but it didn't have much effect.

Seeing Jiang Zhi brought by Chen Xiu'an, the happiness of the two elderly people was beyond words.

He even started to make insinuations, thinking that before he died, it would be great if there could be a scene of four generations living under one roof.

Even the big wooden table in Chen Xiu'an's house couldn't fit a table full of dishes.

Although there was no stove in the house, it was still very warm.

This is because some time ago, Chen Yuan went out suddenly, and then came back with someone to install the air conditioner at home.

Chen Xiu'an has stayed in this house for such a long time since he was a child, and Chen Yuan has never thought about installing an air conditioner.

Because their father and son are actually used to it, burning charcoal in winter is not a big problem.

For such a big item as the air conditioner, and the need to consider the use of electricity, for Chen Yuan who has been in debt, he would not have considered it at all before.

But it's different now, because Jiang Zhi is here.

Although Jiang Zhi didn't mention anything about the coldness at all, Chen Yuan accidentally just saw the other person huddled in his clothes when he woke up in the morning, and suddenly felt that it was necessary to install an air conditioner at home.

He originally felt that the other party came here with Chen Xiu'an, and the family's conditions were really bad, and he had wronged the girl.

He didn't want his son to become bad in Jiang Zhi's eyes because of these things. Although Jiang Zhi was not that kind of person, Chen Yuan still did it.

I even almost replaced all the home appliances at home.

Fortunately, in the middle of the journey, when the TV and washing machine were replaced, it was Chen Xiu'an who gave the money.

Even so, the money saved by Chen Yuan's time washing the car was all spent.

Chen Xiu'an naturally guessed what Chen Yuan was thinking.

But he had no intention of stopping it.

After all, after changing these things, it is not a bad thing when Chen Yuan goes to study by himself when the time comes and Chen Yuan is at home alone.

"Okay, the dishes are ready, let's all get ready to eat."

"Xiu'an, go to the door and let go of the firecracker."

Chen Yuan took off his apron, walked out of the kitchen and said.

After Chen Xiu'an came back from setting off the firecrackers, the whole family officially began to eat.

Chen Yuan took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and poured it for Song Feng.

The other party glanced at Chen Yuan first, but in the end they still didn't rent it.

Chen Xiu'an and Jiang Zhi were naturally the drinks to drink.

On the contrary, Chen Xiu'an saw her grandfather wanting to drink, but was glared at by her grandmother, and then looked aggrieved.

The old man is old, but he really can't drink alcohol.

"Little Jiang, it's the first time you come to our house for the New Year, treat it as your own, don't be polite."

Chen Yuan spoke to Jiang Zhi.

Then he raised his glass and continued:
"Dad, Mom, and Xiaofeng."

"Thank you for coming to celebrate the New Year, me"

"I'm sorry for you."

Halfway through Chen Yuan's speech, he couldn't continue and choked up.

Grandma Chen Xiu'an took the initiative to answer the call.

"You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, don't say anything at this time if you have anything to do!"

"What does it look like?"

After hearing this, Chen Yuan quickly stopped his tears and said:

"exactly."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have said this."
