During dinner, Bai Xiao sat beside An Zhiyuan, silent and seemingly in low spirits.
Old Wang and the old lady took their meals to their own room to eat. Currently, with the three brothers squeezing into one room, they freed up a room for the elderly couple. The old lady comforted them with a smile, "Don't move, all of you. We're old and eating is not that complicated for us, a little will do. Besides, we have to watch Tangyuan to stop her from making a fuss and spoiling your meal. You just go ahead and eat, enjoy your meal. It's not easy for the whole family to gather together like this."
Everyone understood that the grandparents didn't want to impose on them, and sure enough, with the old couple out of the way, they could let their hair down.
The men had white liquor in their cups while the women had Jianlibao. It seemed like even the last New Year didn't see this many people. This year, it looked like An Zhiyuan had been added to the count.
