New Year

After dinner, they cleared the food table, and some visitors arrived, engaging in pleasant conversations. Ms. Fang instructed Yang Xiaoni and Taotao to serve snacks, warmly welcoming the guests.

Shao Sanlang and Shao Dalang had also stepped out to greet others.

Shao Yunduan wasn't fond of idle chatter. After exchanging a few words with Qiao Xuan, he led Qi to his study, urging him to continue his studies and providing him with instructions.

Qi had been diligently studying in recent days.

Qiao Xuan remained in the hall, engaging in lively discussions with Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu. She listened to various gossip about other families from her aunts, brothers-in-law, and other relatives. While she didn't consider them entirely reliable, it was entertaining to hear.
