Li Zexin looked to the left and the right. Lin Wan treated him like a child, but he was almost an adult now. He didn’t want anyone to see.
Why would she pat his head in front of so many people?
“Both of you focus on attending to the customers. Wanwan and I will go live now,” Xia MO said as she took Lin Wan’s hand.
“Attending to customers? Hahaha, Teacher Xia, you really know how to talk.
Xiao Yi, attend to me!”
“I also want to be attended to. Xinxin, just give me the flavor you like.” “I want the handsome Wind God to attend to me.”
Li Zexin stood on a stool. “Miss, please don’t push. One at a time.”
The excited customers entered the shop, while those outside looked on enviously.
At 3:30 p.m., Sweet Little Circle began its livestream as scheduled. Fans received the livestream notification and flooded into the chat.
On camera, Lin Wan and Xia MO sat shoulder to shoulder. They were both wearing white chef uniforms.
“Good afternoon,” they both greeted the viewers. The barrage of comments started rolling on.
[Good afternoon!]
[Is this really the last one before the new year? We just started our holidays, but Lin Wan is ending the broadcast soon.]
[Is Teacher Xia not broadcasting either? Are they ending the broadcast so early?]
[This is the last one of the year. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. Teacher Xia must need time to prepare for New Year’s shopping. Let’s all be understanding.]
[Fans, both Li Zexin and Xiao Yi are at the Sweetheart Inn.]
[Is that true?]
[It’s true! This is the first time I saw Xinxin after the show. He is so skinny.] [I envy you all in Yun City. You often get to meet such people.]
“Thank you all for your support throughout this year. With the Lunar New Year approaching, there are indeed many things to do. The shop hasn’t been cleaned, the house hasn’t been decorated, the staff’s gathering hasn’t been arranged, and bonuses that need my signature are pending. Plus, Wanwan and her family will be traveling to Yan City tomorrow,” Xia MO said.
[Sister Wan is coming to Yan City tomorrow? I’m from Yan City! I really hope to meet you.]
[Does ‘whole family’ mean everyone, including the three children? If we could meet them, that would be awesome, right?]
“Yes, everyone, including the children. This is the first time our family is going on a trip together. We hope that everyone can avoid disturbing us as much as possible. Giving us some space is the best way to support us.” Lin Wan made a small request.
[I’m not in Yan City, so I won’t be intruding. Did all of you from Yan City hear that?]
[Yes. Got it.]
[Xuanxuan’s dream came true.]
[It’s already -100 C in the north. It’s freezing cold outside. I really want to spend the winter in the south.]
[I want to go on a vacation too, but my dad has to work during New Year’s Eve.]
“Our hometown doesn’t have many relatives, so we’re taking everyone we can on this trip. Otherwise, during such an important festival like the Chinese New Year, we would certainly celebrate at home. Still, it feels different from before. That’s why we’re spending New Year’s at a different place together as a family,” said Lin Wan. “We call it a vacation, but it’s just a change of place.”
[That’s true. I feel like the Spring Festival in the countryside is still quite interesting. Waking up early on the first day of the Lunar New Year to visit every neighbor to wish them well. You can get quite a bit of candy from that.]
[Aren’t we all just having a family reunion dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala? What’s the point of going from house to house?]
[Sister, you sound like someone from a big city. In big cities, people just close their doors and celebrate on their own. Also, the reunion dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala are things done on New Year’s Eve. Visiting neighbors and wishing them well is done on the morning of the first day of the lunar year.
Neighbors might give you candy or even red envelopes.]
[@Previous Poster, you explained it in great detail. I’ll add something. In our village, boys receive cigarettes when they go visiting.]
[That’s true. It’s the same in our village. But I just started middle school, why would they give me cigarettes?]
[Our village is quite large. It takes half a day to visit everyone. After returning home for lunch, we usually go out to have fun in the afternoon. We can go to the movies or play cards.]
[Wow, there are so many similar customs.]
[We city folks are really envious. In our community, other than property management giving out couplets, there’s no going door to door to wish people well. It feels like there’s not much difference between the Spring Festival and regular days.]
“Nowadays, the festive atmosphere during the Lunar New Year is indeed not as intense as before. Especially in urban areas, most people just close their doors. When I was a child, just like you, I used to go door to door on Chinese New Year’s Day to get candy. At that time, Chinese New Year was the favorite festival for kids.” Xia MO smiled as she recalled her younger days in the countryside.
[Teacher Xia, you also like the way Chinese New Year used to be, right?]
[Listening to your experiences, I’m getting excited. I really want to experience it too.]
[Xu Nan Village welcomes you. You can visit and stay at my place.]
[Xingang Town’s Xingang Village in Hegang City welcomes you too. We are an internet-famous village. The festivities are great here.]
[Am I the only one who finds it awkvvard to visit relatives during Chinese New Year? Am I the only one asked about having a partner every year? Or how much money I make in a month… They ask me if I don’t want to come back home now that I have lived in a big city.]
[Exactly. I find that troublesome too. Other than that, everything is good. I’m already married and have kids. Every year during the Spring Festival, when I return to my hometown to visit relatives, they ask me when I’ll have a second child.]
[I’m a mother of two children, and I am not spared either when I go back home. They ask me when I’ll have a third child. They say I can afford to buy a house in the big city, so having a few more children shouldn’t be a problem.]
[Shouldn’t we be discussing happier topics?]
“I read about it online before. You all really go through that?” Lin Wan didn’t have that kind of experience and was curious.
[Yeah. It really happens. That’s why there are people paying others money to be their boyfriends and girlfriends for that day. It’s not just relatives who ask, even parents pester their children too much. It feels as though being single is taboo or something.]
[It’s true. I’m thirty and still single. I always get lectured by my parents. They think I’m not loyal to my family.]
[If there’s someone like Mr. Li, would I still be single? My mom keeps asking me why I’m not in a relationship yet.]
[Hahaha… @Previous Poster, are you trying to snatch away Mr. Li?] “I’m sure someone like Mr. Li does exist. Please have faith.”
[Or someone like Xinxin is fine too. I was born in ’98, and I am waiting for Xinxin to grow up.]
[Dream on. Even the ones born in the 2000s don’t dare to think about Xinxin in that way. ]
‘You girls, all you do is argue. If you’re capable, just confess for real,” Xia MO said.
[Teacher Xia, I like Xiao Yi.]
[I also like Xiao Yi.]
[Teach Xia, do you also feel like Xiao Yi should have a girlfriend soon? Consider me, please.]
Xia MO didn’t expect that a casual joke would push her son into the spotlight.
[I’ve been wanting to ask, but I’ve been hesitant. I think you all think the same too.]
[Yes. The Wind God and Xinxin, right? I wonder if it’s true. How would Teacher Xia and Sister Lin feel about it?]
Lin Wan frowned. She then changed the topic. “Let’s make a feast today. It’s suitable for New Year’s Eve..”
