New Year’s Day.

“Dad, Happy New Year!”

Shen Qiushan had just gotten up when his son, Shen Yixiao, enthusiastically came over to wish him a Happy New Year.

“Hmm!”

Shen Qiushan nodded slightly. He surely understood his son’s intention—such eagerness to greet him for the New Year was nothing more than an excuse to ask for a red envelope.

This was Shen Qiushan’s first year of success, and he was well-prepared. He immediately took out the large red envelope he had prepared earlier and handed it to his son.

“By the way, when is Yufei coming?”

“Probably on the sixth day!”

Before the New Year, Shen Yixiao had stayed at the Xiangjiang River for half a month. Now it was Lin Yufei’s turn to come to Sanjiang.

“Then, on the fourth day, you go to Xiangjiang, and on the fifth day, visit Yufei’s family and bring some gifts to her parents.”

“Hmm, I’ll prepare the gifts. You should drive there!”

Shen Qiushan’s thought was that since the relationship between the two kids was stable, Shen Yixiao should formally visit the “in-laws.”

Another year had passed, and Shen Yixiao was already 19, which meant he was practically an adult.

“Dad, Happy New Year! I wish you lots of inspiration and a fortune of money this year~”

As the father and son were talking, Shen Yanran also came up cheerfully to wish him a Happy New Year.

Listening to his daughter’s New Year’s greeting, Shen Qiushan chuckled and handed over a red envelope: “Buy whatever you want, and if you don’t have enough money, just tell me!”

“Hehe, thanks, Dad!”

Shen Yanran happily accepted the red envelope.

On the side, Shen Yixiao slightly pursed his lips. His own dad had never told him he could spend money freely and just ask for more if it wasn’t enough.

“Alright, hurry up and wash up.”

“We still need to go to the airport to pick up your grandma and second aunt later!”

With a smile, Shen Qiushan waved them off and went to wash up as well.

After going out.

Shen Qiushan didn’t immediately go to the airport. Instead, he first went to the Lin Family to pay his respects to his father-in-law, Lin Moxuan.

Then he picked up Lin Jiayu and headed to the airport.

This AITO M9 of Shen Qiushan’s was a 6-seater. Picking up Chen Qingzhu and Lin Xiamo just filled it up.

However, having only this one car might not suffice for the large family in the future. For example, in a few days, Shen Yixiao would head to the Xiangjiang River, and if he drove himself, there would be no car left at home, forcing them to hitch a ride in Lin Xiamo’s Audi.

So, buying a new car now needed to be put on the agenda!

At 10:30 in the morning.

Chen Qingzhu, Lin Xiamo, and other members of the Red Rose Band emerged together from the arrival exit.

“Grandma, Second Aunt!”

Shen Yanran shouted while waving her hand vigorously, then she and Lin Jiayu handed the flowers they had prepared to the two “big stars” returning triumphantly from the Spring Festival Gala stage.

After the two sides met up, Shen Qiushan first paid his respects to his mother-in-law, Chen Qingzhu, and then shared a hug with Lin Xiamo.

“Missed you.”

He whispered in Lin Xiamo’s ear.

Due to frequent rehearsals the week before the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Xiamo had to stay in the hotel arranged by the Gala team, and they hadn’t seen each other for 10 days.

Lin Xiamo didn’t say anything, just hugged him tighter.

“Brother Shen, Happy New Year!”

“Teacher Shen, Happy New Year! Remember to write more songs this year!”

“Brother Shen, whether our Red Rose Band can continue to be a hit depends entirely on you.”

At that moment, Hu Tingting, Zhu Xinyue, and Fang Di also gathered around to greet Shen Qiushan.

Their family members had come to meet them as well. Hu Tingting’s husband was holding their child, and her mother-in-law’s face was beaming with smiles.

Ever since the Red Rose Band became famous, Hu Tingting’s husband and mother-in-law had greatly improved their “temper.” They no longer complained about her forming a band and gave her their wholehearted support.

The reason was obvious—Hu Tingting could now make money!

At the moment, the Red Rose Band’s commercial performance rate was 1.5 million.

According to their previous agreement, including Shen Qiushan, the five of them split it equally, meaning Hu Tingting could earn 300,000 per performance!

This could easily match her husband’s annual income!

The economic foundation determines the status in the family; this saying is absolutely true!

Now, Hu Tingting is kept well provided for by her entire family. Her husband and mother-in-law not only avoid upsetting her but also go to great lengths to please her.

Zhu Xinyue’s parents originally did not value her much as a daughter; her circumstances were somewhat similar to Liu Qingwu’s. Her parents only hoped she could earn money to supplement the family income.

However, Zhu Xinyue’s parents were not overly harsh, and they didn’t actually treat her as a mere money-making tool—they simply favored sons over daughters.

But, upon learning that their daughter was going to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, Zhu Xinyue’s parents were naturally very excited and traveled to Sanjiang early in the morning from their rural home.

The person driving them was Zhu Xinyue’s uncle. Despite over 300 li of road, being the first day of the New Year, and having to get up early, he had no complaints at all.

His niece had become successful, and as her uncle, he too might bask in some of the glory.

Living for 30 years, it was the first time Zhu Xinyue had been taken so seriously by her family, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

But society is this realistic—if you aren’t successful, not only will relatives and friends look down on you, but even your parents might think you’re useless.

On the flip side, once you achieve success!

Attitudes towards you, whether from relatives, friends, or parents, will undergo significant change.

Fang Di’s parents had both passed away; the ones picking her up were her sister’s family. Her little nephew even handed her a big bouquet of flowers. Their family was indeed harmonious and happy.

Leaving the arrival hall.

Everyone returned to their respective homes, but it was foreseeable that each family was happy at that moment.

The ride back in the AITO M9 was filled with laughter and joy.

With spirited eyes and animated gestures, Chen Qingzhu recounted what she saw and heard backstage at the Spring Festival Gala.

She even occasionally showed off photos of herself with various celebrity A-listers, considering it’s the Spring Festival Gala where celebrities are as numerous as cattle.

But seated in the front passenger seat, Lin Xiamo didn’t look well. She propped a hand against her forehead, looking drowsy.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is your head hurting?”

Shen Qiushan noticed Lin Xiamo’s unusual state and asked, concerned.

“Maybe it’s carsickness. I feel a little dizzy.”

Lin Xiamo replied feebly.

“Electric cars do tend to cause carsickness. Let’s open the window a bit!”

With that, Shen Qiushan lowered the window next to the front passenger seat.

However, lowering the window made it worse. As the window came down, Lin Xiamo’s expression turned even more pained. She put her hand over her mouth and mumbled, “Stop the car!”

Uh?

Seeing Lin Xiamo’s pained expression, Shen Qiushan was alarmed, and he quickly pulled over to the side.

Lin Xiamo swiftly got out of the car and then leaned against a lamppost on the roadside, vomiting.

Seeing this, Shen Qiushan hurriedly grabbed a bottle of mineral water and followed her out of the car.

“Rinse your mouth.”

After Lin Xiamo had mostly finished throwing up, Shen Qiushan handed the mineral water to her mouth.

Ugh~

However, before Lin Xiamo could drink the water, she started vomiting again.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qingzhu, who had been spending a lot of time with her daughter Lin Xiamo recently, suddenly had her eyes light up: She vomited yesterday too—could it be that Momo is pregnant?
