Long Che and Tong Airui went out together. As soon as the two of them left, the whole family gathered in the living room—some were playing chess, some playing cards, others gaming or chatting, while some were looking after the kids. The living room was packed with laughter and activity.
Tong Yao smiled and said, "This year, everyone is here, the most complete gathering we've had in ages. It feels like those days we spent back in Z country have returned."
Madam Jing Ya nodded with a smile, "Indeed, although a few are missing, we've added quite a few family members over the past couple of years, making it even livelier."
"Let's all stay up tonight. Whoever gets sleepy, go rest now instead of dozing off later tonight," Tong Yao said with a grin, looking at everyone.
