Chapter 230: Hurry up and pinch me a bit!

Li Jiaci glanced at the time.

He hastily waved his hand, urging the few: "Don't laugh anymore, the New Year's Eve dishes aren't bought yet; if we're late, they'll have already gone home to celebrate the New Year!"

Let's go!

Brother, do we not need to tidy up here?

What's there to tidy? The ground's full of red firecrackers—looks so festive!

Well... Zhang Laoda, we're leaving!

Take good care of yourself!

Just as the group was heading back.

Wang Yingna suddenly slapped her thigh.

Hey? Where's the baijiu we bought!

I cao!

Li Jiaci, upon hearing, hurriedly ran to the car and fetched a few bottles of baijiu.

This thing you had us do is really a mess!

Zhao Chen complained.

Soon after.

Li Jiaci opened the baijiu, poured some on the ground, and placed a few bottles in front of the tombstone.

Big brother, this fine wine costing over a thousand per bottle—drink your fill!

Boast with those over there!

Your younger brothers are doing pretty damn well nowadays!

Next time I'll get you a big villa, a big Benz, and seventeen or eighteen gorgeous women!

Let them envy!

He chattered on for a while.

The brothers had all gotten into the car one after another.

Li Jiaci lit a cigarette and placed it on the tombstone.

Finally, he took a deep look at the black-and-white portrait on the tombstone before turning and leaving.

Dongjiao Bieshu.

Three cars pulled up noisily at the gate.

Gazing at this imposing villa before them, the brothers were dumbfounded.

Whoa, bro, I'm not dreaming, am I? Someone pinch me quick!

Li Yihu's words had just fallen.

He was then viciously pinched in the armpit by Zhao Chen.

Cao!

Ouch ouch ouch!

Now you know it's real, right?

It couldn't be more real!

Li Yihu's smile was uglier than crying.

Rubbing his armpit, the pain made tears glisten at the corners of his eyes.

Wang Lan stared agape at the villa, expression vacant.

If Liu Jiang hadn't promptly shut his mouth, drool would have been dripping.

What's up, you hungry?

Liu Jiang asked with a laugh.

Wang Lan shook her head, saying: "I've only seen such a house on TV, never in real life!"

Look at you all, so unsophisticated!

Li Jiaci pointed at the brothers, clicking his tongue twice.

Afterwards, he took out the key and went to open the door.

I'm telling you guys, this...

Before he could finish.

The brothers rushed in, jostling to be first.

They then exclaimed and marveled at the villa's interior décor.

Li Jiaci's earlier efforts were not in vain.

The festive red lanterns and spring couplets were exactly to their liking.

Footsteps echoed constantly at the stairwell.

The brothers busily picked their own rooms.

It was noisy enough to make heads ache.

Li Jiaci smiled helplessly.

You're all still acting like kids!

At that moment.

Wang Yingna said from the side: "Jiaci brother, hurry up and move the stuff; these ingredients are a hassle, we need to get cooking!"

Got it!

The two carried the New Year's Eve feast ingredients into the villa.

She is indeed a woman who has seen the world.

Wang Yingna found the kitchen with ease, sorted the ingredients and laid them out on the counter.

She owns two or three villas like this.

To make up for her miserable childhood.

Wang Zhen gave her all the good things.

The brothers divided the rooms among themselves, leaving the largest room for Li Jiaci.

Zhao Chen ran downstairs in a hurry, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Sister-in-law, put the stuff there, let me do it!"

You can't do it alone; call those few over, nobody should be idle!

Wang Yingna greeted him.

Soon, the brothers were in position in the kitchen, preparing for the evening's New Year's Eve dinner.

This is the first time Wang Yingna and Li Jiaci have spent Spring Festival together since they started dating; this house is also Li Jiaci's new home, making it extraordinarily meaningful.

So she values it more than anyone.

And she is even more attentive.

She just wants Wang Zhen to see how well she is doing now.

Let Wang Zhen let go and pursue his own happiness.

By evening.

The doorbell rang.

Li Jiaci wiped his hands and went to open the door.

Outside the door.

Wang Zhen and Wang Li stood front and back, each holding something.

They were smiling, faces full of joy.

"Brother, congratulations on your new home!"

"We didn't know what to get, so we brought some wine; is that okay?"

Hearing that, Li Jiaci pulled the two inside.

Taking what they held, he said: "Nothing could be more appropriate; you two sit a moment, the New Year's Eve dinner will be ready soon!"

Wang Li said: "Let's sit later; I'll first tour your big villa!"

"Feel free, I'm going to help in the kitchen!"

"Alright, go, go!"

Wang Li waved his hand.

He was about to go upstairs to look, when he suddenly caught a familiar figure at the end of the kitchen.

He suddenly stopped, grabbed Wang Zhen's arm, and pointed toward the kitchen.

"Brother, am I seeing things? Is that our little sister?"

"You're not seeing things; it's her."

"No, when did she become so virtuous?"

"Hahaha…"

Wang Zhen laughed a few times.

He put an arm around Wang Li's shoulder, leaned in and said: "You'll understand once you find a wife!"

"Is dating really that scary? You've changed completely!"

"That's love, you don't get it!"

……

The New Year's Eve dinner is ready.

Li Jiaci set off firecrackers and fireworks outside the villa.

The TV was airing a Spring Festival Gala skit.

A group of people gathered around the table, laughing and chatting.

As the host, Li Jiaci raised his cup first, stood and said: "Thank you, Brother Wang Zhen and Wang Li for coming all this way to join us for the New Year's Eve dinner; I'm not good with words, so it's all in the drink!"

Having said that, he tipped his head back and drank deeply.

Wang Zhen and Wang Li followed suit.

After Li Jiaci set down his cup, Wang Zhen poured himself a drink and also stood up.

"I'll say a few words too!"

"During this time, my little sister has caused you plenty of trouble!"

"Thanks to you brothers for putting up with it!"

"Thanks!"

Just as he was about to down it in one gulp.

Liu Jiang hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Wang Zhen, your words sound a bit odd, as if after this meal our sister-in-law will be leaving!"

"I didn't mean that; I just wanted to thank you for taking care of her during this time!"

"Still sounds awkward…"

"Hey? Fine, fine, I'll change my wording!"

"Have another!"

"This drink is to ask you brothers to help look after her more in the future, okay?"

Wang Zhen finished saying that.

Several brothers quickly raised their wine cups, stood up, and clinked glasses with him.

「Eh, that's right! 」

Wang Yingna watched them teasing each other, leaning against Li Jiaci's shoulder with a soft smile.

「Jiaci bro, this is really what New Year's is about! 」

Li Jiaci nodded: 「Mm, only when the family is reunited can it be called New Year! 」

After a lively bustle.

Wang Zhen smacked his lips, then said: 「Hey little bro, I've brought you some good news today! 」

「What? 」
