Sometimes, Xu Changqing genuinely felt she deserved the nickname "Xu Shen Suan." On New Year's Eve this year, the Old Xu Family had changed its rules.
Traditionally, with the exception of the past two years, all three branches of the family had always gathered at the home of the eldest branch for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner. This year, however, they were all coming to her home to honor the ancestors and celebrate the New Year.
What was it her eldest aunt had said? That for her youngest brother-in-law's family, it would likely become harder and harder each year for both husband and wife to get vacation time to come back home for the New Year.
While she was saying this, her second-eldest aunt, who was holding Little Yuanyuan, laughed out loud. It was hard to tell if she was genuinely happy or just couldn't resist laughing.
