The New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready. Zhou Ziwen looked at the delicious food on the table and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The family sat around the table and happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner.
Zhou Ziwen raised his glass and said, "In the new year, I hope we all will be healthy and everything goes well!" Everyone responded and clinked their glasses in blessing.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the children couldn't wait to run out and set off firecrackers. The laughter and the sound of firecrackers were intertwined, filling the festive atmosphere.
The adults sat in the room and continued chatting.
Zhou Ziwen talked about his future plans: "When university starts, I will study hard and acquire a solid foundation of professional knowledge. I will be more confident in starting a business in the future."
Chen Qiaoyi nodded in support: "Brother Ziwen, you must be fine."
Shen Zhaodi also said: "Yes, Ziwen is so capable, he will definitely do something big in the future."
After the Spring Festival, Zhou Ziwen planned to take his two sisters back to their home to visit relatives.
He came back from the countryside and hadn't had time to see them yet. Taking advantage of the time he had now, he wanted to fulfill his filial piety and let the two sisters and their families spend more time together.
They carefully selected various gifts, including special delicacies from the Four Nine Cities and tonics for their elders. After everything was prepared, they embarked on a journey to Hangzhou.
It is worth mentioning that Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao went back with them this time.
They stayed at Zhou Ziwen's house, but since Zhou Ziwen was gone, they felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Ziwen saw this and simply invited them to visit the two sisters' homes.
On the train, everyone was in a particularly happy mood.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying talked excitedly about the changes in their hometown and looked forward to seeing their families again; Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao looked curiously at the passing scenery outside the window, full of yearning for Hangzhou.
Zhou Ziwen sat aside and looked at them with a faint smile on his face.
Sometimes he joins their chats and shares some interesting insights; sometimes he quietly thinks about future plans, filled with longing for college life and entrepreneurship.
Little Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were laughing and playing on their seats, adding a lot of joy to the journey.
Little Yueyue held a small doll and teased her younger brother: "Brother, look at this little doll, does it look like you?"
Xiao Xuanxuan reached out to grab it and said in a sweet voice: "No, I'm more handsome than it!"
Everyone was amused and laughed.
As the train moved forward, the scenery outside the window gradually became familiar.
The outline of Hangzhou gradually appeared in front of them. Tears of excitement flashed in the eyes of the two sisters. Their hearts had already flown back home.
After arriving in Hangzhou, everyone took a short rest and then rushed to Chen's house.
Outside, they called some three-wheeled bicycles. Zhou Ziwen carefully placed the luggage and helped the two sisters and children get into the car. Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao also took their seats in turn.
"Master, please go to Ping'an Lane in Chengdong District." Zhou Ziwen said to the coachman.
The driver smiled and nodded: "Okay, everyone, sit tight!"
Along the way, the wheels bumped on the stone road, making a rhythmic sound.
The streets and alleys of Hangzhou are full of strong New Year flavor, decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and bustling with activity.
People wear new clothes and walk hurriedly on the streets, carrying various New Year's goods in their hands, with happy smiles on their faces.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were excitedly lying by the car window, looking at the lively scene outside, and kept exclamating.
"Dad, look at that big red lantern, it's so beautiful!" Little Yueyue pointed to the lantern on the roadside and shouted.
"There are also those fireworks, I want to set off fireworks too!" Xiao Xuanxuan said, waving his little hands.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and touched their heads: "How about we also set off fireworks in the evening?" "Okay!" The children cheered.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying looked at the familiar streets with emotion in their eyes.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and this place hasn't changed at all." Chen Qiaoyi said softly.
"Yeah, I feel like I'm back to my childhood all of a sudden." Chen Shiying agreed.
Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao were also infected by the lively atmosphere and looked around curiously.
"Hangcheng is really lively, even more lively than the New Year celebrations here!" Shen Zhaodi said.
"The buildings here are also very unique and antique." Tang Yaoyao praised.
After a while, the three-wheeled bicycle arrived at Ping'an Lane.
Everyone got out of the car, paid the fare, and walked towards Chen's house.
Arriving in front of Chen's house, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying's steps speeded up unconsciously, their eyes full of eagerness and anticipation.

Chen Qiaoyi took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
There was a sound of footsteps in the house, and the moment the door opened, Mother Chen saw her daughters, Zhou Ziwen and his entourage standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red, and she shouted excitedly: "Yiyi, Shiying, you guys are really good." Back!”
As she spoke, she opened her arms and hugged her two daughters tightly.
Father Chen also walked out of the house quickly, with a smile of surprise and relief on his face: "Oh, why did you come back suddenly without saying anything in advance!"
As he spoke, he patted Zhou Ziwen on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval.
As everyone walked into the house, a warm atmosphere hit their faces.
The house is neatly organized and filled with the warmth of home.
A photo of the family hangs on the wall, and fresh fruits and snacks are placed on the table.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying held their mother's hands, sat on the sofa, and chattered non-stop.
Mother Chen hugged Xiao Xuanxuan and refused to let go.
She has never seen Xiao Xuanxuan since she was born!
Most of the older generation favor boys over girls.
Especially since the Chen family only has two daughters, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying, Mother Chen is even more rare for her grandson.
Mother Chen hugged Xiao Xuanxuan and kissed her again and again, her face full of love: "Xiao Xuanxuan, my good grandson, you are so handsome!"
Xiao Xuanxuan was a little embarrassed by her grandmother's kiss, so she twisted her body and got into Chen Qiaoyi's arms.
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and took Xiao Xuanxuan over and said, "Mom, don't spoil him rotten."
Chen Shiying smiled and said: "Mom, look at you, you forgot about us all when you saw Xiao Xuanxuan."
Only then did Mother Chen react. She smiled and said to her two daughters: "You two girls, how could mother forget you? Tell mother quickly, how are you living in the country?"
"Mom, we are admitted to college, and we will not go to the countryside in the future." Chen Qiaoyi said excitedly, with light shining in her eyes.
After hearing this, Mother Chen and Father Chen were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed smiles of surprise and relief.
"Really? Great, my daughters are really promising!" Mother Chen said excitedly, with tears in her eyes.
Father Chen also nodded repeatedly and said, "It's good to get into college. You will have better development in the future."
Chen Shiying continued: "Mom and Dad, it's all thanks to Brother Ziwen. He took us to study together and gave us encouragement and support, so we were able to get into college." (End of Chapter)
