CHAPTER 798: CHAPTER 795: THE SECOND DAY OF THE NEW YEAR

"Take all these things with you."

Shen Jianjun had prepared New Year’s gifts for Shen Siyuan early, and there were two sets.

Liquor, cigarettes, gift boxes, and various local specialties. In addition, Grandma also handed him two big bundles of dried tribute vegetables to take along.

"So much?" Shen Siyuan was surprised to see it all.

"And both of their families are well-off, they might not even appreciate these things," Shen Siyuan said.

He thought just bringing a couple of things as a gesture would suffice, and there was no need for so much.

"Whether they appreciate it or not is one thing, having them is another. The more you give, the more sincere you appear," Shen Jianjun said.

"Your dad is right, you youngster, what do you know? Listen to your dad," Grandma decided firmly.

"Alright then." Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

"How are you going? Did you call for a car? By the way, where did you go last night? Came back so late," Shen Jianjun asked one after another.

"No need to worry about that," Shen Siyuan said, waving his palm forward, and all the things on the ground vanished.

Grandma and Shen Jianjun were both surprised at this, their faces full of curiosity.

"The one picking me up is here," Shen Siyuan continued.

Then they heard a child’s voice from outside the door.

"Happy New Year, Grandma Huang."

The mother and son stepped out of the room and saw that somehow Duoduo had arrived and was chatting with Huang Huijuan in the living room.

Huang Huijuan handed her a red envelope.

"Duoduo is here," Grandma was especially delighted to see Duoduo.

She pulled her close and examined her carefully: "Did you change into new clothes for the New Year?"

"I changed them myself," Duoduo said with a hint of pride.

As she spoke, the red dress she was wearing turned sky blue, and the hem changed from short to long, quite magical.

"Wow, amazing, so impressive. Great Grandma will give you a red envelope too, okay?"

"Okay."

Grandma smilingly pulled out a red envelope.

Duoduo reached out to take it and then turned her gaze to Shen Jianjun.

"Uh..."

Shen Jianjun quickly pulled out one and handed it over.

Generally, if one of the couple gives a red envelope, it suffices, but Duoduo’s little eyes made him feel as if it would be wrong not to give one.

"Thank you, Great Grandma, thank you, Grandpa Shen, happy New Year to you," she happily put the red envelopes away.

Unlike Tang Tang, she already understood the use of money.

During the New Year, she could receive many red envelopes, allowing her to buy many things she wanted.

"Alright, let’s go."

Seeing Duoduo put away the red envelope, Shen Siyuan stepped forward.

"Okay."

Dou Dou responded, reached behind her and pulled out an oil paper umbrella, opening it over their heads as everyone watched in astonishment.

"We’re off," Shen Siyuan stepped under the umbrella.

Then they saw Duoduo twist the umbrella handle, a crane’s call could be heard by their ears, and the two instantly disappeared from the middle of the hall.

The crowd found the scene both surprising and yet expected.

Because Shen Siyuan had shown so many magical things, they were somewhat numbed.

"Big Head has really become an immortal."

Grandma muttered and then started heading outside with her hands behind her back.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Of course, going home, people will surely come to pay New Year’s calls, how can it be without me at home."

"We’ll come with you..."

-----------------

Jiang Hongtu and his wife got up early in the morning.

Qi Huilan was busy in the kitchen, while Jiang Hongtu went to Taozi’s auntie’s house to pick up Grandma Taozi.

"Did Xiao Shen say when he’s coming?"

"Taozi said it would be in the morning, but she didn’t know the exact time."

"Is Dou Dou coming with him? I miss her," Grandma Taozi said.

Jiang Hongtu helped her into the elevator and said, "If you really miss her, go to Guangxia’s house, there you will surely see Dou Dou."

"That’s true, then on the third day of the New Year, we’ll go to Guangxia’s house," Grandma Taozi said promptly.

"Better after New Year’s, it’s not appropriate during the holiday, you’re the elder, they’re the juniors," Jiang Hongtu said.

"It’s not that picky, such fuss,"

The two chatted as they left the elevator, and Qi Huilan had already prepared breakfast waiting for them.

Grandma entered the room and took a look around before asking, "Where’s Taozi?"

"That lazy girl hasn’t gotten up yet, I’ll go wake her," Qi Huilan said.

"Forget it, let her sleep a little more, there’s nothing happening in the morning," Grandma hurriedly said.

"Xiao Shen should be arriving soon, it’s not good she’s still in bed," Qi Huilan said.

Hearing this, Grandma immediately changed her mind, "Then quickly wake her up."

Taozi was quickly awakened by her mom, wearing pajamas, groggily emerged from the room and immediately perked up upon seeing Grandma already there.

"Grandma~"

She joyfully rushed forward.

"Look at your messy state, go tidy up, or it would be bad if Xiao Shen saw you," Grandma said with a face full of disdain.

"He wouldn’t mind me," Taozi said confidently.

Grandma didn’t argue with her, just asked directly, "Did Xiao Shen say what time he’s arriving?"

"I don’t know that either," Taozi replied.

"Then call him to ask where he is now?"

"Okay."

Taozi returned to her room to get her phone and called Shen Siyuan.

"What did he say?"

When she ended the call, the other three in the house all looked at Taozi with anticipation.

"He’s already left home, but it’s hard to get a car today. I said I’d drive to pick him up, but he said no, he’d walk over."

The three were quite surprised at this.

"Didn’t Xiao Shen buy a car?" Qi Huilan asked.

Just with the elixir that Shen Siyuan had given them to take, he could exchange it for an immense wealth, certainly not someone who couldn’t afford a car.

"He doesn’t know how to drive," Taozi said.

"Ah?"

The three were once again surprised.

"He said he can use Sword Flight, flying and escaping, doesn’t need to learn driving," Taozi said with pride.

"Re... really so capable?" Jiang Hongtu said in shock.

But Grandma, hearing this, was not surprised, because Dou Dou had told her she could control the wind, considering a child could be so powerful, her master must be even more so.

While they were chatting, they heard the doorbell ringing. Taozi quickly ran to the door to check the camera monitor, and sure enough, saw Shen Siyuan standing downstairs.

She quickly pressed the button to open the glass door below, then hurriedly ran to her room.

"Si Yuan’s here," she said.

"Then why are you running?" Qi Huilan asked, puzzled.

"Of course to tidy up, I haven’t combed my hair yet."

Everyone laughed, and Grandma Taozi stood up directly and went to wait by the door.

Shen Siyuan quickly arrived at the door, immediately seeing Grandma Taozi smiling, making him feel especially close.

"Happy New Year, Grandma," Shen Siyuan greeted her warmly.

Then she looked at the things Shen Siyuan was carrying and said with a smile, "You coming is enough, why bring things?"

"It’s the New Year, can’t come empty-handed, right?"

"Come in quickly," Grandma invited.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hongtu and Qi Huilan also came to the door to greet him, and at that moment they noticed a little tail following Shen Siyuan.
