It was New Year's Eve.
The channel was locked, and the whole family gathered in front of the TV to wait for the show to start.
The coffee table was filled with melon seeds, candies, pastries, and fruit salad that Gu Anbao had personally made.
As she peeled melon seeds, she said to Old Master Chen beside her,""Grandpa, please take good care of him. He'll be out in a while."
As he spoke, he fed the peeled melon seeds into the old man's mouth.
"Anbao, Old Master Chen will get angry easily if he eats too many melon seeds."
"I'm counting. It's okay." Gu Anbao lowered her head as she peeled melon seeds." I've only fed you a dozen or so so so far…"
After peeling another one, she looked up at Grandpa Chen and said," Grandpa, let's stop eating after eating thirty. We still have dumplings later.""
Gu Anqi said leisurely,"Sigh…" I can't eat anymore. I ate too much pork knuckle just now. I'm so full. You guys can eat the dumplings later."
