Su Yue also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, it's over, why are you still talking about that, I..."

"No, girl, just listen to me."

Liu Shan took a deep breath as he spoke, as if to suppress his repressed emotions, but a light of gratitude shone in his eyes.

He looked at Su Yue and said with a trembling voice: "Just when I was about to despair, the girl appeared, like a ray of light in the darkness! After the girl knew my situation, she gave my family a large sum of money without saying a word.

That money was life-saving money to me at that time. With it, I could buy good medicines and ask the doctor to treat me well. Slowly, my health began to improve and I got better day by day.

I, Liu Shan, can never repay your kindness even if I work like a slave. I have always kept it firmly in my heart and never dare to forget it for a moment!"

As he spoke, Liu Shan's eyes became red. He quickly wiped his eyes with his hand, not wanting to let the tears of excitement fall in front of everyone, but he could not hide his gratitude.

He looked at his daughter, Honeysuckle, who was sitting beside him. His expression softened and he said with satisfaction, "Also, it is a blessing for my eldest daughter, Honeysuckle, to be able to serve as a personal maid for the young lady.

The girl was so nice to her that it was beyond words. She didn't treat her like a maid at all, she treated her like her own sister.

On weekdays, the girl not only taught Rendong to read and write, which made her understand many truths, but also protected her in every way. "

Liu Shan paused, then looked at Nanny Yang again, his eyes full of gratitude: "Besides, Nanny Yang is also very kind to Jindong. Nanny, don't wave your hands, don't think my wife didn't see it. Every time Cui'er made something delicious for the girl, you never forgot Jindong's portion.

Every time Rendong came back from going out with the girl, you looked so concerned, as if you were looking forward to your own child coming back, asking this and that, which made me feel warm inside.

Girl, Mammy, you are so good to Honeysuckle that I, as your father, don’t know how to thank you. I can only hope that I can do more for you in the future to repay your kindness. "

Everyone in the room was moved by Liu Shan's heartfelt words, and nodded in praise of Su Yue and Nanny Yang's kindness and good heart.

"Dad, you are right. The girl and the nanny are really good to me. We can't be ungrateful." Honeysuckle said seriously.

Liu Shan nodded with satisfaction after hearing what Ren Dong said, then he picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised it respectfully in the direction of Su Yue, his tone full of respect and sincerity: "Miss, I, Liu Shan, toast you with this glass. Thank you for saving my life, and thank you and Madam for taking good care of Ren Dong.

I hope the girl will be healthy and happy every day in the future. I hope our family can always stay by her side to repay her for her kindness!"

Ye Mei also hurriedly stood up at this time, and signaled Liu Danan and Liu Dadong to salute Su Yue together to express their gratitude.

Su Yue quickly spoke up to stop them, "Come on, you guys are being too polite, we are all in this chaotic world together, we should help each other to get by.

You guys have contributed a lot to the surrounding tower, and Honeysuckle is well-behaved, sensible, and loyal. With her by my side, I am much happier."

After that, Su Yue picked up the teacup, clinked it with the wine glass in Liu Shan's hand, then raised her head and drank the hot tea in the cup.

Seeing this, Liu Shan did not hesitate and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Suddenly, there was another round of warm applause and cheers in the room, and the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became lively and warm again.

Liu Shan then sat down and Liu Qiang stood up again. Su Yue quickly pressed her hand to signal Liu Qiang to sit down.

"Uncle Liu, please sit down. I really don't want to drink anymore. I deeply feel everyone's kindness towards me, but there is such a big table of delicious food, and I haven't eaten it yet. You can't let me just drink water to get full."

After hearing what Su Yue said, everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the blacksmith room, making the already lively atmosphere even more cheerful.

Liu Qiang also laughed and scratched his head, saying with a naive face: "The girl is right. It is my fault as an uncle that I was not considerate enough. I was so busy expressing my feelings that I forgot that the girl hasn't had a good meal yet. So, girl, please eat quickly. Let's not rush to toast you." After saying that, he sat down obediently.

Su Yue smiled and nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and said to everyone, "Everyone hurry up and eat. This table of delicious dishes was made by Xiao Cui and the aunts with great effort. It would be a pity if it gets cold."

Everyone responded, picked up their chopsticks, and began to eat heartily. For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, and the laughter of men toasting each other.

"Wow, this braised pork trotter is so authentic, soft and tasty, and the bones fall off with just one bite. Xiao Cui's cooking skills are getting better and better." Zhong Tie praised as he chewed the food.

"Of course. Xiao Cui put a lot of effort in the kitchen today. And this steamed grass carp is very fresh. Your kids are usually picky eaters, but today they couldn't stop eating." Zhong Tie's wife responded with a smile while feeding the youngest child.

Song Mingtao picked up a piece of braised lion's head and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully. With a satisfied look on his face, he said, "It's really delicious. It's better than anything else to have this New Year's Eve dinner together in this building."

Liu Shan filled Song Mingtao's glass with wine and said, "Hey! Brother Song, don't just focus on eating meat, come and drink."

"Drink!" Song Mingtao quickly put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine bowl and started drinking with Liu Shan.

Nanny Yang served Su Yue a bowl of soup and said with a smile, "Miss, try this soup. Xiao Cui has been cooking it for a long time. It's really delicious."

Su Yue took the soup, tasted it, and nodded in praise, "Not bad, her cooking skills are beyond reproach."

While they were eating, a few children could not sit still anymore and after they had their fill, they started chasing and playing around the house.

Their laughter seemed to be very contagious, making the adults' faces filled with even brighter smiles.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until late at night. After the women cleaned the table, they came out with melon seeds, peanuts and snacks to keep watch.

The men looked at the melon seeds, peanuts and various snacks that the women brought out, and they all sat around.

Some people found a comfortable position to lean back and sober up, while others grabbed a handful of peanuts or melon seeds and chatted while eating them.

The atmosphere in the entire blacksmith shop was still lively and bustling, and it did not become deserted at all as the night deepened.
