Chapter 113 Resign yourself to fate
Teacher Gao was both wary of and convinced of Ruogu, and after listening to her advice, he felt a lot better.

Xiao Qing looks spoiled, but she can control Shao Bai, as can be seen from the way they get along when they go home for dinner.

Young people always yearn for freedom. Once they have children, Shao Bai will be able to settle down. Teacher Gao becomes more energetic when he thinks of his grandson.

After Teacher Gao left, Yu Yuan came down from upstairs. He saw the invitation on the table, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Isn't this Teacher Shao deeply in love with you? Why are you getting married so soon?"

Ruogu rolled his eyes at him and said nonchalantly, "The person he is deeply in love with is Chen Ruogu during her adolescence, not me now. Sometimes the person in a man's heart may not be the same person he wants to marry."

Yu Yuan nodded slightly. Men are indeed more fickle than women. To them, women are just a spice of life. After satisfying their physiological needs, they can put them aside and do their own things.

Yu Yuan didn't place much importance on family in the past, but only in recent years did he realize the importance of family. He said in a steady voice:

"There are indeed such men, but I am not like that. I would rather be without than with someone who is not good enough. You can't compare me with him."

Ruogu was too lazy to talk to him and continued to look through the medical book. Yu Yuan looked down at the date of the wedding banquet and said casually, "We should be recording a program on the tenth day of the first lunar month. I'm afraid we won't be able to attend the wedding."

Ruogu looked away from the medical book and turned to look at Yu Yuan. Yu Yuan felt guilty when she looked at him and said calmly, "I didn't do this on purpose. Xiao Jie set the date. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Ruogu didn't have to attend the wedding, so she retracted her gaze and said calmly, "If it really doesn't work, let Sister Yang accompany Huaixi. Our family will just give a gift, and it doesn't matter whether she goes to the wedding or not."

Yu Yuan thought so too. Seeing that she really didn't care about it, Yu Yuan let it go.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, heavy snow fell again. He Hui went home to spend the New Year with his parents. The clinic was officially closed and no longer accepted patients. Family members went in and out through the side door in the backyard.

Chi Zhengzheng still went to Jishidiang every day. Xie Bin also returned to his hometown. Before leaving, he warmly invited Zhengzheng to go back with him to celebrate the New Year, but Chi Zhengzheng declined.

She and Xie Bin had just been together for a short time and had no plans to get married for the time being, so why bother meeting his parents so early? She could go to Jishidiang every day to eat and drink for free and no one would nag her, which was so comfortable.

It was still snowing outside. Yu Yuan was having a video conference upstairs. The newly renovated house at the back was still being ventilated and he had not moved in yet.

The others were killing chickens and ducks in the backyard and washing various meat dishes. Ruogu was enthusiastically making steamed pork with rice flour. Everyone was busy.

Huai Xi opened the courtyard gate and took Heng Heng out to play in the snow. Zheng Hong neither stopped them nor looked over. After getting along for a long time, they became like a family. Huai Xi always knew her limits and would protect Heng Heng, so she didn't need to worry at all.

Ruogu was very satisfied with the aroma of the steamed pork with rice flour. She picked up a piece to taste it. It was moderately salty and had just the right texture. She took off her apron, went to get a pen and paper, and then smiled at Sister Yang and the others:
"Let's list the New Year's Eve dinner menu first, so we don't have to rush around again tomorrow."

Zheng Hong chuckled and said, "We have a large family, so we need to cook more dishes."

Sister Yang nodded in agreement. As she plucked the chicken feathers, she said, "Madam, why don't we have the New Year's Eve dinner in the dining room of the new house? There's more space over there, and it's more spacious."

We have already hired professionals to remove the formaldehyde, so there will be no problem moving in. Now we just want to ventilate the house more to get rid of the smell. Ruogu has no objection.

"Then let's go buy some flowers later to decorate the place, so that it will look more festive and the air will be fresher." Chi Zhengzheng raised his hand and said, "I'll go buy some now. If I go too late, the flower shop will be closed."

Ruogu smiled and said, "If the flower shop is closed, you can just go to the supermarket or the flower and bird market and buy some potted plants."

Chi Zhengzheng nodded in agreement and took the car keys in a familiar manner. Now Ruogu's car has become a public car and she basically drives it when she goes out for something.

Chi Zhengzheng was out for an hour or so and came back with many potted flowers. Together with Zheng Hong, she decorated the large restaurant to look lively and festive in no time.

In the afternoon, we were busy with general cleaning. Even Yu Yuan was assigned some work. The house was cleaned up and looked brand new in half a day. Ruogu checked the house inside and out with a satisfied smile on his face.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, after having breakfast, the whole family started to get busy. In Wanling, the New Year's Eve dinner is not served at the regular time. Some people eat it at noon, some eat it at night, and they do whatever they like.

Sister Yang and Zheng Hong were busy in the kitchen, while Yu Yuan took Huai Xi to paste couplets on all the doors in the house. These new couplets were not bought outside, but were written by Huai Xi himself, and the handwriting was much more beautiful than those bought outside.

Yu Yuan looked at the neatly written couplets on the gate with a proud expression on his face. Ruogu's eyes were also full of satisfaction. Yu Yuan threw the extra garbage into the bucket and said in a steady voice:

"Let's go to our parents' graves and burn some paper first. We'll be ready for dinner when we get back."

The smile on Ruogu's face faded slightly. Since she had occupied someone else's daughter's body, she had to take responsibility. The memorial items had been prepared in advance. Although it was still snowing outside, she could still drive out.

When he just returned to Wanling, Ruogu brought Huaixi to pay homage, so this time he was familiar with the place.

The cemetery was in the suburbs, with few vehicles passing by. The snow on the road was quite thick, so Yu Yuan drove very slowly. It took him an hour to complete a journey that was supposed to take thirty minutes.

The family of three burned paper money for their original parents and knelt down to kowtow. Ruogu whispered a few words to them. It was not known whether they had been reunited with their daughter and grandson. If the original body had been reborn into their bodies, then life would have been difficult.

There are some things that Ruogu cannot think about in detail and can only leave it to fate. On the way back, the snow was indeed crushed by the cars. However, there were so many cars returning to the city that it was congested for a while. Fortunately, it didn't waste too much time.

They arrived home and started serving the dishes. When the dishes were ready, everyone sat around the table. Men, women, young and old all poured themselves some wine and started chatting and laughing. It was very lively.

The smile on Ruogu's face never disappeared. She had lived a very comfortable life in the past six months and hoped that the coming year would be even better.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, they stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. Sister Yang was alone and had nowhere to go. Zheng Hong had been divorced for so long, but her mother didn't even call to ask about her, let alone Chi Zhengzheng.

Yu Yuan is protective of his own people. The happier the day, the more sentimental it tends to be. After the three-day New Year holiday, he will arrange for them to go on a trip. Anyway, he and Ruogu have to leave on the eighth day of the first lunar month to record a program, so there is nothing to do at home.

Huai Xi naturally wanted to go and play as well. Together with Chi Zhengzheng, there were three adults in total, as well as a local guide and assistant. They just had to have fun and didn't have to worry about anything else.

Yu Yuan doesn't plan to go out to pay New Year's greetings this year. It will be enough to just call close friends to say hello.

I thought they could have a quiet year, but unexpectedly someone came to visit them on the morning of the first day of the new year.
