Mr. He didn’t wait for Mother He to say anything and said to his eldest grandson He Xudong, who had just entered the door, "Xudong, go call everyone in the family, I have something to say."
He Xudong saw the joy on his grandfather’s face and responded, "Okay, I’ll go right away."
Seeing his eldest grandson go out, Mr. He hurriedly said to his wife, "We didn’t have New Year’s Eve dinner together; why don’t we take advantage of today to have a meal together?"
Mother He was naturally willing as well, "Whatever you say, I’ll go prepare a bit."
It didn’t take long for people from all the different rooms to come over one by one.
Mr. He looked toward the eldest grandson who entered last, "Xudong, did you notify your aunt?"
He Xudong nodded, "I asked Xubei to go, she should be here shortly."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard He Yanqing’s voice coming in, "Dad, I’m back. What’s up? Why did you have to call me back?"
Mr. He, hearing his daughter being so loud, was slightly displeased, "If you don’t want to come back, you don’t have to; we won’t force you."
Seeing her father get angry, He Yanqing quickly tried to make amends, "I was just thinking, since I’m going back to my parents’ home tomorrow on the second day of the New Year, is there anything that can’t wait until tomorrow?
But Xubei said no, insisted I come back today. There are so many people visiting at home today, leaving them to return to my parents’ house feels a bit inappropriate."
Fifth son He Yue was very familiar with his sister, "Sis, how can the family’s business be less important than the neighbors’? Besides, the Cui family doesn’t only have you as a daughter-in-law, can’t your sisters-in-law handle the guests?"
A few words, and he didn’t give He Yanqing any face.
He Yanqing glared at the fifth son, "Says the one with a big mouth."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mr. He lightly coughed, "Alright, everyone say a few words less, there’s something I need to tell you."
Everyone, hearing his words, turned their attention to him.
The second son, He Jian Country, started getting impatient, "Dad, stop keeping us in suspense, just say it."
Mr. He glared at He Jian Country, then looked at everyone, "The third called and said he’s getting engaged on the sixth day of the first month and wanted to see if the family has time."
The fifth son He Yuejin exclaimed in surprise, "Really, that’s only a few days away."
Thinking of something, he continued, "In that case, I need to prepare ahead."
He Yanqing glanced at him, "Third Brother’s engagement, what does it have to do with you that you need to prepare, it’s truly laughable."
Hearing this, He Yuejin got a bit angry, "Don’t I have to arrange a shift swap with my colleagues? How is that funny?"
Now, even He Yanqing felt she was being unreasonable, "Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay?"
At this moment, He Jiefang said, "Dad, what does Jinxuan mean by this? How many of us should go? If too many of us go, will there be enough places to stay?"
Only then did Mr. He realize that he had been too excited to ask these questions, "I really didn’t ask about that; I’ll go out later and call Jinxuan.
This is the situation, you can decide for yourselves, and also everyone should stay later so we can have a meal together."
Today, Gao Yumei was relatively low-key, mainly because she couldn’t be high-key after getting beaten by He Jian Country yesterday, with a corner of her mouth still injured, she really had no face to see people.
He Yanqing glanced at the second sister-in-law sitting in the corner, feeling puzzled about why the second sister-in-law was so quiet today?
However, she was smart enough to avoid looking for trouble and preferred to later go to the eldest sister-in-law to figure out the situation.
Mr. He tapped the kang table, "No matter what, this time when going to Beijing for the engagement, no matter who of you goes, don’t cause trouble."
