After dinner, they cleared the food table, and some visitors arrived, engaging in pleasant conversations. Ms. Fang instructed Yang Xiaoni and Taotao to serve snacks, warmly welcoming the guests.

Shao Sanlang and Shao Dalang had also stepped out to greet others.

As for Eldest Uncle… he was absent. Nobody mentioned his whereabouts, neither in the second nor the third section of the family.

Shao Yunduan wasn’t fond of idle chatter. After exchanging a few words with Qiao Xuan, he led Qi to his study, urging him to continue his studies and providing him with instructions.

Qi had been diligently studying in recent days.

Qiao Xuan remained in the hall, engaging in lively discussions with Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu. She listened to various gossip about other families from her aunts, brothers-in-law, and other relatives. While she didn’t consider them entirely reliable, it was entertaining to hear.

As the evening grew darker, guests came and went, bringing liveliness to the household.

It wasn’t until it was time to light the firecrackers that the visiting neighbors bid their farewells and departed. Shao Sanlang and the rest of the family returned as well.

Around midnight, the first crackle of firecrackers ignited, serving as a signal for others. Suddenly, the village was filled with the explosive sounds of firecrackers.

The sky was ablaze with vibrant bursts of light, their crisp sounds echoing and intensifying the festive spirit. “New Year has arrived! Happy New Year!”

“Happy New Year!

“Wishing you a safe and joyous New Year, with even better days to come!”

“We will surely have an even better year!’

They exchanged auspicious greetings, sowing seeds of happiness within their hearts.

Returning home, the younger members of the family greeted the elders for the New Year, and in return, the elders gifted them red packets. They then proceeded to make and enjoy dumplings together.

With the conclusion of the celebration and the dumpling feast, they bid each other goodnight, eagerly anticipating the dawn of the new day.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan walked home together, but as they did, snowflakes began to fall gently from the sky.

The delicate snowflakes drifted down silently from the vast expanse above. They were sparse and light, disappearing upon touching the ground as if they had never existed.

“It’s snowing!’

“Wow! Look at the snow!”

People around them noticed and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, some even whistling with delight.

It was a rare sight for them, something worthy of celebration!

“It’s snowing!” Qiao Xuan reached out to feel the cool touch on her hands, leaning towards Shao Yunduan with a smile. “A heavy snowfall at the New Year is considered an auspicious sign!”

“Yes,” Shao Yunduan replied with a gentle smile, helping her adjust her clothing. “May all our wishes come true this year.”

Qiao Xuan’s smile brightened even more. “You will undoubtedly become an Advanced Scholar!”

Shao Yunduan returned the smile. “Thank you, my beloved!”

But his desires went beyond that. He yearned for a true wedding night with her, once he achieved his desired title.

He wanted no one but her to be by his side for the rest of his days.

His gaze burned with intensity, and his fingertips held an unspoken tenderness. Qiao Xuan sensed something in his eyes, and she felt a warmth spreading across her cheeks. Gradually, that warmth intensified, making her blush with bashfulness..
