Chapter 72: During the Chinese New Year, who wouldn't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala!

Did he really think so?

As she thought about it, Ji Pianran's face couldn't help but turn a little red.

He actually said that he was the most beautiful?

Although she didn't know if he was saying that to make a child happy or if it was the truth from Gu Chen's heart.

Her heart still couldn't help but quicken a little.

But if he thinks he's pretty, why was he so cold to her the previous two years?

She blinked, not saying anything, her heart feeling like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over it.

Perhaps it was better to tell a child.

At this moment, Shen Cuilan and Tian Laosi were walking back from their mother-in-law's house after New Year's Eve dinner. They could smell the rich aroma of the food as they approached the door.

Shen Cuilan couldn't help but mutter,

'You say it's all New Year's Eve dinner, but why does it still smell so good at Gu Chen's house?'

Hearing this, Tian Laosi was not happy. Although it did smell better than his own,

after all, his own was made by his mother, who had worked hard all night. It was not enough to just not praise it, how could he say that someone else's was better than his own!

He gave Shen Cuilan a cold look,

'Okay, look at you, what's not delicious?'

Yan Yan was walking behind her alone at the moment. The child didn't have many merits, but one thing he did have was sharp ears.

In particular, he was walking on the side of the door that was leaning against Gu Chen's house.

He immediately heard the faint singing coming from inside.

'Mom, someone is singing in Tang Tang's house!'

As soon as he said this, Shen Cuilan instantly remembered the scene of Gu Chen moving the TV during the day.

But isn't someone singing? It's New Year's Eve!

People are watching the Spring Festival Gala at home!

To be honest, Shen Cuilan also wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

But there was no TV at home.

Every time she passed by the coal washing factory housing estate, she looked at other people's colour TVs and envied them.

She always thought it would be nice to have one at home, but this was New Year's Eve!

I heard that Nicholas Tse will be on the Spring Festival Gala, and he loves Nicholas Tse the most!

Hearing his child's voice, Tian Laosi listened carefully.

The moonlight was cold and lonely.

On this day when families gather together for a reunion dinner, the small village seemed especially quiet.

A faint singing voice came from the Gu family's house, so different from the others.

There was a hint of warm joy in this difference.

It seemed that everything was so beautiful.

Tian Laosi sighed. To be honest, he also wanted his son and daughter-in-law to watch TV. Which man doesn't want to be the pillar of the family and the greatest support for his wife and children?

But often, there is nothing he can do. He can only farm.

The meagre income from farming is barely enough to get by.

Where would he find the spare cash to buy such a luxury as a TV?

'Why don't we go to Gu Chen's house and join in the fun?' Shen Cuilan suggested, but she was afraid that Tian Laosi would say no, so she sighed and said, 'Forget it, forget I said anything!'

Then she took Yan Yan by the hand and prepared to go inside.

Children are ignorant and don't understand what adults call face.

He just knew that he wanted to go to Tang Tang's house to listen to the music!

It really was so beautiful.

'Mum, I don't want to go home, I want to go to Tangtang's house.'

His son's words completely broke Tian Laosi's resistance.

He was really useless. He had spent his whole life minding the land, and to put it nicely, he was content with the status quo, but to put it bluntly, he was incompetent.

A capable person should be like Gu Chen. He was originally known as a good-for-nothing.

But now?

In just a few days, the family bought a TV, and the daughter-in-law and children are all dressed in a fashionable Western style.

The most important thing is that the family can eat meat every day!

I can see that Tongtong has put on weight.

Now she has flesh on her little face.

All day long, 'Daddy, Daddy.'

Gu Chen is simply her big hero!

As for himself, his son and daughter-in-law always think that he is not good at this or that.

He always thought that Gu Chen was a joke in the village, but now look at himself, he is the joke.

He is almost forty years old, but he is actually not as good as a young man in his early twenties!

After thinking about it, Tian Laosi gritted his teeth and said, 'Okay, let's go to your uncle Gu's house to watch TV!'

After saying that, he felt that it was not good to go empty-handed, so he glanced at Shen Cuilan.

'Go ahead. I fried some peanuts in the morning, and it's New Year's Eve, so I can't go to someone's house to watch TV empty-handed!'

He had figured it out: face and the happiness of his daughter-in-law and children were worth more than anything else!

Since he couldn't afford to buy a TV, it was fine to go to Gu Chen's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala and have some fun.

'Hey!' Shen Cuilan didn't expect Tian Laosi to agree so readily, and she couldn't contain her happiness. She immediately smiled, opened the door, and went inside, bringing out a large bowl of fried peanuts.

The family of three went to knock on Gu Chen's door.

Inside, the family of three were watching TV with a smile on their faces when they heard someone knocking at the door.

Xiao Tangtang was the first to hear it, and she looked at Ji Pianran with curiosity, 'Mom, someone's knocking at the door, knocking at the door!'

When she said this, the two of them looked out the window towards the big iron gate outside the courtyard.

Ji Pianran then stood up, "I'll go and see.'

Gu Chen hurriedly stopped him, "Forget it, I'll go.'

He finished and stood up himself, walking towards the door.

He opened the door and saw Shen Cuilan and her family of three standing outside.

Gu Chen looked curious. 'Who is this?'

Tian Laosi held back for a long time before speaking with embarrassment.

'Chen Zi, didn't you buy a TV? The child wants to watch TV, so I'm here knocking on your door with a face like a piece of shit.'

Gu Chen thought it was something big and laughed when he heard that he wanted to watch TV.

'Sure, come in. It's just the three of us, and it's a bit quiet.'

He quickly made way for them.

He understood that they wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year. There were only three of them at home anyway, and since they were here, they could play with Tang Tang. Children like to have fun, after all.

Shen Cuilan quickly lifted the handful of peanuts she was holding and said with a smile, 'We're not just watching for free. Lao Tian just fried them this morning, so they're still fresh.'

To be honest, Gu Chen really didn't lack for peanuts, not to mention that she had bought a lot of chocolate herself.

But they were neighbours, and the fact that someone brought something meant that they were still thinking of her.

Gu Chen smiled and said, 'Then thank you, Sister-in-law Cui Lan.'

Tian Laosi was older than she was, and this "sister-in-law" was completely out of respect for Tian Laosi's face.

He was in his forties, so Gu Chen should have called him brother.

As they were talking, they saw Ji Pianran lift the door curtain and walk out from inside.

It was New Year's Eve, and normally people would be eating their New Year's Eve dinner at home, so she really couldn't figure out who would be visiting at this hour.

Seeing that it was Shen Cuilan and her family of three, Ji Pianran looked puzzled.

'This is...'

Gu Chen smiled, 'Daughter-in-law, Fourth Brother said he wanted to come in and watch TV.'

Hearing this, Ji Pianran hurriedly smiled and let them pass, 'Come in quickly, it's cold outside.'

Tangtang was overjoyed to see that it was Yanyan who had come in, and hurriedly pounced over to take Yanyan's hand.

'Yanyan brother, have you eaten meat today?'

It was only at this moment that Tian Laosi and Shen Cuilan entered the house, and as soon as they did, they saw Gu Chen's family's New Year's Eve dinner table.

Goodness!

No wonder it smells so good every day. Now that I see it, it's truly a chef's work.

The food is beautifully presented, and the side dishes look delicious!

And there's so much of it!

This family has really made it!

The three of them made six dishes, all of them meat, can they finish it all?

Tian Laosi was shocked. 'Did Chen Zi make all this?'

Gu Chen nodded, 'Fourth Brother, why don't you sit down and try it? Bian Ran has been saying that I made too much.'
