It's said that one must stay up all night on New Year's Eve.
In the main room, people were busy introducing new daughters-in-law, praising their children, chatting idly about the harvest of the coming year, and discussing what kind of partners young men and women were looking for.
The atmosphere was harmonious, with idle chatter covering a wide range of topics.
Compared to the people of Old Zhang's family, Brother Ping'an and the two brothers felt somewhat out of place.
Indeed, when words fail, even half a sentence is too much.
Seeing the conversation shift to Zhang Mingyou's job assignment, Brother Ping'an and the two brothers made an excuse to leave, preferring not to see what they knew would not change.
Mother Zhang also stood up to follow her grandchildren back, but they politely declined. They figured they had some presence of mind.
Could this be called familial bliss?
Seeing their grandparents smiling from ear to ear all night, why ruin their reunion?
