Shan Jingtian and Li Jinglie stayed in the room until late in the afternoon, when Li Yuanyuan came looking for them.
He knocked on the door outside and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, it's me, can I come in? Is it convenient for you?"
"See, you have a long memory." After Li Jinglie said to Shan Jingtian, he shouted at the door: "Come in."
Li Yuanyuan opened the door, leaned in, and said with a smile: "Uncle, the banquet is about to begin, and my mother asked you to come downstairs."
"I know." Li Jinlie responded.
Li Yuanyuan didn't leave, looked at them both with a smile and asked: "Uncle, what are you two doing?"
"Can I tell you what I'm doing? Get out!" Li Jinglie chased her away.
Shan Jingtian hissed and said to him, "What are you doing?"
Then he said to Li Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, we are watching a movie."
"What movie?" Li Yuanyuan asked again gossiping, with another "malicious" smile on his face.
"What kind of movie do you think it is?" Li Jinlie said, got off the bed, walked quickly to the door, and pushed her out, "Let's go, let's go down now."
Li Yuanyuan said "Hey" twice and was locked out.
Shan Jingtian said: "Why are you so cruel to Yuanyuan? She has no ill intentions."
"I don't like her gossipy look." Li Jinglie straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go down."
In the huge main dining room, Li Jinghan sat at the front, and the other elders sat in turn. And they, the younger generations, went to the side hall.
Shan Jingtian asked him: "Bao'er, you have to sit at the elders' table, right?"
Li Jinglie nodded, "Yes, I have to go over there. It's okay. I'll try to get you to sit with me next year."
Shan Jingtian smiled and said, "I'll go over there, so don't drink too much."
"I know." He touched her face lovingly and said.
Almost everyone was here in the side hall. Li Yuanyuan saw her coming in and quickly waved her hand and said, "Tiantian, come and sit here."
Shan Jingtian walked over and sat between Li Yuanyuan and Song Keer.
Li Siting sat in the main seat, with Guo Zhiyou on one side and Li Sicheng on the other.
He said to his younger brothers and sisters: "None of us are outsiders, and you are welcome. We can eat and drink as we should, and do as we please."
"Brother, don't worry, we treat this as our own home, no one will be polite to us," Su Tianyi said in agreement.
"That's right. Don't be polite, let's get started!" Guo Zhiyou acted like a hostess, greeting everyone to eat.
There were no elders around, so the children were very casual and not at all restrained. They chatted while eating, and no one said anything even if they spoke loudly.
Except for Song Ke'er and Xiao Xingxing, who were still in high school and were not allowed to drink, the others filled their glasses and wished them a happy new year.
"My uncle asked you to drink?" Li Yuanyuan asked Shan Jingtian as he gave her a piece of fried crab.
Shan Jingtian said: "I don't care if he lets me or not? Drinking is my business and has nothing to do with him."
"Wow! What a cool answer!" Li Yuanyuan gave her a thumbs up.
"What else? If he doesn't let me drink, then I won't drink? I don't care if he drinks." Shan Jingtian didn't think her answer was great, it was just her true thoughts.
Li Yuanyuan ate the meat and nodded thoughtfully, "Well, you're right, I asked a question."
Shan Jingtian smiled and said, "You also know your brother-in-law's character, and you think he might not let me drink. You ask me out of good intentions, because you are afraid that he will talk about me. I understand."
"Tiantian, you are really a talker. No wonder my brother-in-law likes you." Li Yuanyuan said with admiration.
"He likes me, which also shows that he is very discerning." Shan Jingtian said half-jokingly.
Suddenly, Xiaoyouzi asked Guo Zhiyou: "Sister Youyou, is this jade pendant around your neck worth a lot of money?"
When she said this, everyone's eyes fell on Guo Zhiyou.
Before dinner, Guo Zhiyou deliberately put on the jade pendant given to her by Su Jinqi, and deliberately placed it outside so that everyone could see it.
"What are you talking about?" She pretended not to care and brought it up, showed it to everyone, and said with a bit of pride: "This was given to me by Aunt Qi, in my capacity as Si Ting's girlfriend. Aunt Qi gave it to me."
My meeting gift."
"Oh!" Xiaoyouzi said, "If Aunt Qi sent it, it must be a good thing. I took a quick look and saw that it was a good thing."
Guo Zhiyou said proudly: "This jade pendant was passed down from Si Ting's great-grandmother. It was given to Qi Aunt back then, and now Qi Aunt gave it to me. It was passed down to the Li family's daughter-in-law, and most people don't have it."
!" After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shan Jingtian provocatively.
"Oh? Really?" Li Sicheng asked, "So, my future wife will not have such a valuable thing?"
Li Siting said: "You are also my mother's son, how could it be possible? In fact, our mother did not -"
"Second brother, yes, it is, but it is not passed down from my great-grandmother." Guo Zhiyou stopped Li Siting from speaking.
While eating, Li Yuanyuan looked at the jade pendant on Guo Zhiyou's chest and asked doubtfully: "Why have I never heard my mother say that there is an ancestral jade pendant for the eldest daughter-in-law?"
"Yuanyuan, just because I haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean I don't have it." Guo Zhiyou said with a smile.
Li Yuanyuan turned around and asked Shan Jingtian: "What did my mother give you as a meeting gift?"
"It's an emerald bracelet."
"Really? Jade bracelet?" Li Yuanyuan asked in surprise, his voice a little uncontrollable, and everyone heard it.
Shan Jingtian laughed, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Li Yuanyuan said seriously: "I heard from my mother that this jade bracelet was handed down from our ancestors as a gift to my eldest daughter-in-law!"
After she finished speaking, everyone present unanimously turned their attention to Guo Zhiyou.
"Yuanyuan, what did you say?" she asked in shock.
Li Yuanyuan turned to look at her, and then at everyone else. Their eyes understood that they had heard what she and Shan Jingtian said.
"Maybe I remembered it wrong. My great-grandmother passed down too many things, so what I said may not be correct." Li Yuanyuan went back to make up for it, but it was obviously to no avail.
Guo Zhiyou stared at Shan Jingtian and asked, "So, the jade bracelet that the seventh aunt gave you was passed down from ancestors to the eldest daughter-in-law? Mine is nothing?"
"Yuyou, didn't you give me the jade pendant as a gift? Have you forgotten? It was also passed down by my great-grandmother." Li Siting coaxed her and said in her ear: "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. Don't talk about it at the dinner table."
It’s disappointing.”
Little Youzi quickly smoothed things over and said, "I think these two things were passed down from my great-grandmother. The seventh aunt gave them to you, and they have the same meaning. There is no need to worry about whether they are given to the eldest daughter-in-law. You two are not the same at all."
