Chapter 64 The Hateful Auntie's House

Because Wang Shan is the youngest in the family, he has three older sisters.

So this reunion dinner was extremely lively.

Yaya sat obediently next to Wang Shan and chatted with her grandfather.

After the reunion dinner, it was already dark outside and every household started setting off fireworks.

For a moment, colorful fireworks filled the entire sky.

——[It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many fireworks. It’s been years since I’ve been busy with work every year, so I can only celebrate the New Year alone.]

——[Ever since fireworks were banned in the city, I feel that the Chinese New Year is becoming less and less interesting. I used to feel annoyed and couldn’t sleep well, but now I miss it.]

——【So, it is more interesting to go back to the countryside during the Chinese New Year, when everyone gets together to chat and talk about everything. The most leisurely time of the year is the New Year holiday.】

——【After Yaya returned to the countryside, she became more cheerful. Children still need playmates. It’s so lonely to be alone. No one listens when you want to talk.】

……

Today should be Yaya’s happiest day.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, she got Wang Shan’s consent.

Accompanied by my brothers and sisters, I stood in the yard and watched the fireworks.

The premise of going to the amusement park some time ago was established.

This time, Wang Shan rarely agreed to let Yaya play with fireworks.

The relatives around were relieved to see that Wang Shan was not so strict this year.

They had told Wang Shan about this in previous years.

Sometimes you shouldn't be too strict, but Wang Shan never listened.

Fortunately, things have changed this year.

The next morning, before dawn, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside.

Yaya turned over in impatience.

She always has trouble sleeping at this time of year.

As soon as I fall asleep, I am woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Wang Shan pushed the door open.

"Yaya, it's time to get up. After breakfast, we're going to pay New Year's greetings."

For them, reunion dinner and New Year's greetings are not on the same day.

So Wang Shan got up early in the morning, holding the new clothes that Yaya was going to wear today.

"Okay dad, I'll get up right away."

Yaya rubbed her hazy eyes and forced herself to sit up.

When Wang Shan finished changing Yaya's clothes, the cameraman came in carrying a camera.

Due to the special time, today's live broadcast started earlier than the previous two days.

Last night, the director sent a message to Wang Shan to confirm the time for the live broadcast to start today.

As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, a lot of netizens flocked in.

——[The production crew knows us too well, they knew we wouldn’t be able to sleep today, so they sent us a notice last night and started the live broadcast early in the morning! ]

——[It’s not that early, actually. I can get up and pack up now, so that I can go to other people’s houses to pay New Year’s greetings. I can sit for a while and then have lunch.]

——【Wang Shan really takes good care of Yaya no matter what time it is. Look at how Yaya is dressed today. She is even prettier than yesterday! 】

——【By the way, didn’t Wang Shan and his family have a reunion dinner together yesterday? Whose house are you going to visit today to wish them a happy new year?】

——【People who live in the same village may have some relationship. Those who had the reunion dinner together yesterday were probably brothers and sisters. Today, they should be going to the elders’ home.】

……

Similar to what netizens guessed, Wang Shan is going to take Yaya to the homes of some close relatives today.

After cleaning up for Yaya, the two of them went downstairs and everyone sat together to have breakfast.

"After breakfast, take Yaya over there to say farewell to the New Year. No matter what, all necessary etiquette must be observed." Grandpa Wang put a poached egg in Yaya's bowl and turned to Wang Shan and said.

Wang Shan, who was eating, paused while picking up dishes when he heard this, then nodded with a somewhat unhappy expression.

Yaya looked at Wang Shan in confusion, and seeing that he didn't look very happy, she lowered her head and ate silently.

After everything was packed, Wang Shan picked up two New Year's goods and left home holding Yaya's hand.

The two walked along an alley, although they would come back every year to celebrate the New Year.

But Wang Shan still discovered that this alley had obvious signs of renovation this year.

"Dad, are we going to visit my great aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings?"

Yaya looked at the familiar route and turned her head to ask.

Wang Shan nodded, "Yes, Yaya, do you still remember this aunt?"

For various reasons, the two families did not actually have close relations.

However, during festivals, some proper etiquette will still be observed.

Wang Shan was not sure how much impression Yaya had on this aunt whom she only met once a year.

Yaya nodded with a somewhat depressed mood, "Yes, we went to my aunt's house last year."

It’s just that this aunt doesn’t seem to like her very much.

Thinking about what happened to her at her aunt's house last year, Yaya suddenly lost the idea of ​​visiting relatives.

"Dad, can we not go?"

After hesitating for a long time, Yaya finally mustered up the courage to ask.

Hearing this, Wang Shan refused without a second thought.

"No matter what, your aunt is your elder."

Yaya was not surprised at all to hear this answer, she just hung her head dejectedly.

When netizens saw this scene, they were all a little curious.

How annoying must this relative be that Yaya, who is so sensible, doesn’t even want to go to his house!

——【If the child doesn’t want to go, then don’t go. Why force him to go? Visiting relatives is just a fake interaction between adults anyway.】

——【The older generation is like this, they like to impose their own ideas on their children, regardless of whether the children are willing or not.】

——【What do you young people know? It’s fine if you don’t want to visit relatives at ordinary times, but if the younger generation doesn’t go to pay New Year’s greetings during festivals, people will gossip about you.】

——【Children are the least likely to bear grudges. If a child is unwilling to go to someone's house, it shows that it is not a good thing. That person can do something to embarrass a child, so why would he care about whether he will be gossiped about?】

——[It shouldn't be difficult for the child. At most, I won't take her to see him. Yaya is quite introverted. It's understandable that she doesn't want to go because no one wants to play with her.]

……

Wang Shan's tough attitude aroused dissatisfaction among netizens.

To young audiences, visiting relatives seems to be something that everyone is willing to do.

Forcing a child to go to send off the New Year will only make both families embarrassed.

But middle-aged audiences feel that no matter what, Yaya is a junior.

Even if you dislike this relative, you can stop visiting him when you grow up, but you cannot stop visiting him now.

If it happens once or twice, people may not say anything, but if it happens too many times, some relatives who are busy with many things will feel that Yaya is not close to them.

Besides, we all live in the same village, so we see each other every day. The villagers have nothing to do and like to gossip about other people's affairs.

It's easy to say some unpleasant things at that time, which will make it really bad for both families.

As they were talking, Wang Shan led Yaya into a new courtyard where a group of people were sitting together.

"Hey, Wang Shan and Yaya are here!"

"Come in quickly, come in quickly, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
