Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1298: This Favor Must Be Remembered

This time when they came back, they’d basically taken care of everything they needed to do; all that was left was to keep the family company and have a proper New Year’s Eve dinner together.

Xinyan knew that none of Master’s kids could make it home for the New Year this year, and she felt a bit distressed: "Master, Mistress, how about you two don’t go back to the Capital either? Why don’t you just stay and celebrate the New Year here with me, then we can all go back to the Capital together afterward."

Mistress withdrew her gaze from the car window when she heard that: "Don’t worry about us. This year, your Master and I will be spending the New Year with your eldest senior brother and the others. You just stay here and keep your father- and mother-in-law company for the New Year."

Just then, Second Senior Brother leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Your Senior Sister Lingyun and her family are going back to the Capital for the New Year this year. They’re probably already home by now.

Once we get back to the Capital, we’ll drive straight to her in-laws’. This year we’re all going to spend the New Year at the Chen Family’s place together, so Junior Sister, you really don’t need to worry about Master and Mistress."

Xinyan was just about to say something when she saw Eldest Senior Brother, who was sitting on the outside, giving her a wink.

Only then did she realize everyone was keeping this from Master and Mistress. When the time came, Master and Mistress would definitely be overjoyed.

Originally, she wanted to see Master, Mistress and her senior brothers onto the train before leaving, but they flat-out refused.

Eldest Senior Brother directly shooed her off: "Alright, you’ve got me and Second Senior Brother here; you think we can’t take good care of Master and Mistress?"

Thinking about the road conditions outside and not wanting the He Family to worry, she didn’t insist: "Then we’ll head out first. See you back in the Capital."

When they got home, the city lights were already coming on, and Mr. Ye’s people had everything arranged.

Seeing all this, He Jinxuan’s desire to really make something of himself grew even stronger; he wanted to give Xinyan the best life possible.

They’d agreed to spend New Year’s Eve together the next night. Mr. Ye’s people had already spoken with the hotel and asked them to prepare two big tables.

No matter the era, "money makes the mare go" really isn’t just an empty phrase.

The restaurant under the hotel had originally planned to close for the New Year, but Mr. Ye’s people went to talk to them in advance, said they’d provide the ingredients and put enough cash on the table, and naturally that New Year’s Eve dinner became possible.

On the morning of New Year’s Eve, after breakfast, Xinyan and He Jinxuan headed out, taking the Ye Family around the city.

Although Ye Silai and Ye Siyan had stayed here for a while, they really hadn’t gone around the city much. This time, with so many family members with them, they completely let themselves go.

Ye Siyan came running over: "Dad, do we still have film?"

Ye Liyan patted his son’s head: "We do. You can use as much as you like today. Slow down when you run, you’re already sweating."

Ye Siyan tilted his head back with a grin: "My brother and I want to take more photos as keepsakes."

Ye Liyan thought about it and felt the same. After they left this time, they probably wouldn’t come back here unless there was a reason: "Alright, as long as you’re happy."

Not only did the two brothers take photos, they dragged a few adults into them as well. They played until after four in the afternoon before finally calling it a day and returning to the hotel to rest.

He Jinxuan went to the front desk to make a phone call, asking the neighbor to go tell the He Family to head over: "Big Brother, it’s Jinxuan. You all come a bit earlier, don’t come too late."

When He Jiefang heard there was a phone call, he guessed it was his Third: "Alright, everyone at home is ready. We’ll set out in a bit."

Mr. Ye already felt they’d troubled the He Family enough, so he didn’t want to put them out any further. He had ingredients prepared early and asked people to work overtime to make two tables.

To show how seriously he took this, when the He Family arrived, Mr. Ye was already waiting in the restaurant with his sons and grandsons: "In-laws, you’re here, come in and sit."

Mr. He responded with a smile: "You really went to a lot of trouble for us."

Mr. Ye led them in to take their seats: "Please don’t stand on ceremony. We’re already grateful you don’t mind us disturbing you during the New Year."

When the He Family saw the table packed full of dishes, they couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

A lot of the dishes on the table, it was their first time seeing them; it really broadened their horizons.

Mr. Ye greeted everyone and had them sit down, then raised his glass: "Today we’re all gathered here to spend New Year’s Eve together. Come, let’s all raise our glasses and wish everyone a happy New Year’s Eve."

Everyone responded together: "Cheers."

After that, Mr. Ye continued: "Taking advantage of this opportunity today, I once again, on behalf of my whole family, want to say thank you to everyone."

Although the He Family had directly left the two children with He Jinxuan back then, he was still grateful they hadn’t simply driven them out; that was a favor he had to remember.

For the last toast, Mr. Ye didn’t say anything more, but gestured for Mr. He to speak.

Mr. He didn’t decline either. He raised his glass and said: "I’m not very good with words, so I’ll just wish everyone that all your wishes come true in the coming year and that everything goes your way!"

In a warm and cheerful atmosphere, hosts and guests alike enjoyed a lively New Year’s Eve dinner.

When they were sending the He Family back, Mr. Ye also had someone send a TV and a refrigerator along to Mr. and Mother He, saying it was a small token from the Ye Family.

While they were overjoyed, they were also full of regret.

They couldn’t help thinking: If we had known things would turn out like this, we definitely wouldn’t have written those two children off as burdens back then. If we hadn’t, we’d probably have more than just these things now.
