Jiang Wenyu

"Nuan Nuan, where did these things come from?" Jiang Wenyu squatted down, looking and asking at the same time.

Chen Lan also curiously took those things over.

Jiang Nuannuan happily listed them one by one: "This one was given by Teacher Wu, this one by Uncle Zhou, this one is... this one is... ah, I don't know that uncle, but he knows Daddy!"

Hearing this, both Jiang Wenyu and Chen Lan were momentarily stunned.

That jar of pickled vegetables was easy to recognize; the exquisite boxes actually contained even more exquisite soft cakes, the fragrance very rich, while Chen Lan didn't quite recognize those yellow, round, plump things, and looked at Jiang Wenyu: "What is this?"

Jiang Wenyu glanced and said in surprise: "It seems to be cheese."

"Cheese?" Chen Lan had vaguely heard of this thing, but had never seen it, nor eaten it.

Jiang Wenyu smiled slightly: "I roughly know who that uncle Nuan Nuan mentioned is."

He thought only Zhou Shi would manage to procure such a big shot of a food that no one had ever seen before.

Looking at these things, both Jiang Wenyu and Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh; once Nuan Nuan goes out, she always returns fully loaded.

After this, Jiang Wenyu and Chen Lan took Nuan Nuan to purchase some food; by evening, the sound of firecrackers could already be heard, just not that intensely.

Early the next morning, a knock sounded on the door; Jiang Wenyu went to open it, and outside stood a big man hee-heeing foolishly, still carrying a lively, jumping big carp in his hand!

"Big enough? Cost me a hell of an effort to buy it!" Li Chen's smug look was not the first time Jiang Wenyu had seen it.

Smiling wryly, he welcomed him in. Although this guy previously refused to come no matter what, in the end he was still persuaded by Jiang Wenyu.

Chen Lan had also gotten up early to busy herself; the house already had a large table set up, and even at this hour firecrackers were already sounding in unison outside, while the knocking on the door truly came in an endless stream.

Opening the door again, following Li Chen came Wu Miaomiao, likewise holding some delicious food and drink she had brought.

"Brother Jiang, Sister Chen, sorry to disturb you, ah, Brother Li is here too."

Li Chen had started working on that big carp early on; seeing Wu Miaomiao, he also laughed heartily: "I was just strong-armed and dragged here."

With the arrival of the two, the atmosphere in the house gradually became more lively, but the visitors were far from just these.

At noon, another two people arrived.

"Dad, Mom, you're here, come in quick!"

The arrivals were precisely Jiang Wenyu's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Ever since Chen Na sent a letter asking for money last time, there had been no news at all; the old family house only had the two elders left, so Chen Lan and Jiang Wenyu naturally couldn't let the two old people spend the New Year alone at home.

After welcoming the two elders in, Jiang Wenyu then called Nuan Nuan out; when they arrived, Chen Fu's complexion was still somewhat gloomy and silent, but upon seeing Nuan Nuan he immediately revealed a happy smile, while Chen Mu went to help Chen Lan and Wu Miaomiao with the preparations.

Chen leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Chen Lan's younger sister still hasn't been found? I see this old man is very worried."

Yes, ever since Chen Na disappeared without a trace, Chen Fu had become like this; the wrinkles on his face increased, and his white hair became even denser.

Jiang Wenyu shook his head helplessly and sighed: "If Chen Na has any conscience at all, she'll come back sooner or later."

Li Chen nodded silently, then changed the subject: "Anyone else? If no one else, the two of us can start drinking!"

Jiang Wenyu glanced at him: "What are you thinking, my father-in-law is right here, I promised them I wouldn't drink; last time I accompanied you for a sip because you were too down, this time it's out of the question. And the people haven't all arrived yet, I still invited one more person."

"Still someone, who?"

Jiang Wenyu was just about to answer when a knock sounded again; he immediately walked over and opened the door, and Li Chen followed.

Only to see a young man in a leather coat standing outside the door; his attire at a glance was different from ordinary people, his hair neat and tidy, his expression quite calm.

Li Chen also had an impression of this person — it was Bai Mulin, who had been effectively driven away by Wang Tao back then.

Jiang Wenyu explained to Li Chen: "He's alone in a small hotel for the New Year, no matter how you look at it it's not quite appropriate, so I simply called him over."

When Jiang Wenyu told Chen Lan about this, the latter had no objection either.

It was just that Bai Mulin, coming to someone else's house for the first time, appeared somewhat nervous at this moment; although he was still very calm, in the freezing cold standing outside one could see beads of sweat on his forehead.

He was so nervous he seemed unable to speak; Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen couldn't help but laugh heartily as they pulled him in.

A short moment later, lively sounds came from Jiang Wenyu's home.
