The blue, purer than the sky, was on her fair neck, making her pale skin seem to glow.
"You look great!" Mo Chen praised sincerely.
Hearing this, Shen Yao couldn't help but smile and say, "Then your taste is quite good."
"Naturally!"
After the two had packed the children's belongings and went downstairs, Shen Yao discovered that even her elder brother had returned.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, you're back?" Shen Yao was quite surprised. She had originally thought it would be good if they could return before the New Year, but she hadn't expected them to be back ahead of schedule.
"Yes, we're back," Ning Min said with a smile.
Although everything in Hong Kong was far better than here, no matter how good life was, it lacked her ties.
When Xiao Yuanzi saw her parents, she was stunned for a moment, then cried out, looking incredibly pitiful.
This broke Ning Min's heart, and she quickly hugged and comforted him. Clearly, Xiao Yuanzi still remembered her parents.
"Mom, I missed you so much, I love you so much, do you love me?"
Hearing her son's soft voice, Ning Min pulled him into her arms, kissing and hugging him.
Even Ning Zhi Yong and Mei Shu Lan, who had returned with them, were smitten, calling them their darlings over and over.
The reason for the long delay this time was that the Ning family had directly transferred their industries and shares in Hong Kong, leaving a small portion for year-end dividends.
In fact, relying solely on those dividends was something many people would strive for more than ten years, let alone the money they received after transferring their shares and industries.
All the shares and industries were cashed out, and with the help of connections, they bought houses directly in Kyoto and the county town.
They also donated a large sum of money to the country, and naturally, the entire family's household registration was migrated to the mainland.
As for Ning Zhi Sheng and his son, they were sentenced to 20 years in prison for tax evasion, embezzlement of company assets, intentional homicide, and intentional human trafficking.
Their funds were also frozen, and all embezzled company assets were returned, along with unpaid taxes.
It could be said that by the time they finished their prison sentences, whether they would be able to get out was another matter entirely.
Now, the entire large family, over twenty people, could not possibly fit into the small courtyard of the Shen family. However, fortunately, as the New Year was approaching, fewer people were staying at the agritainment.
Apart from the rooms that were already available, a few more houses were vacated, which was enough for everyone to live in.
But it had to be said that even though it was approaching the New Year, there were quite a few people willing to spend it at the agritainment.
Even though they had given prior notice that food might not be provided during the New Year period and that guests would need to prepare their own, the guests did not hesitate at all. This was because the agritainment had also prepared many small kitchens for them.
Due to the presence of master chefs, their small kitchens had never been used. It wasn't until the approach of the New Year that the small kitchens finally came into use.
With so many people, dining became a problem. It was impossible to set up tables at the Shen family's home, so everyone decided to eat at the restaurant in the agritainment.
The head chef was still the elder brother, even though he had just returned, he couldn't escape the fate of being the wok-wielding chef.
Seeing so many people, Father Shen once again lamented his foresight. When Shen Yao had suggested setting up a large table for dozens of people, he had said it wouldn't be used. And now, it was being used.
As the New Year drew closer, the county town was filled with stalls selling goods.
The county town, which was usually only lively during market days, was now bustling with people everywhere, with various small stalls set up.
Following everyone's suggestion, Mother and Father Shen took them to buy New Year's goods.
Having lived in the cultivation world for nearly a thousand years, she had long forgotten what celebrating the New Year felt like. Now, with this opportunity to relive it, she certainly wouldn't miss it.
However, today was different from usual. Shen Yao decided to once again satisfy the requests of her little fans.
It couldn't be helped, ever since the live broadcast a while ago, even though she had said she could no longer stream the mountain or the greenhouse,
The netizens still expressed that they didn't necessarily need to see the scenery, and that even daily updates on the children's routines would suffice.
Thus, the style of her account drastically changed, completely becoming a baby-showcasing account.
But due to the children's incredible looks, her follower count skyrocketed.
Every day, people would enthusiastically comment, urging her to post more videos of the children, even if they needed editing!
However, Shen Yao was lazy. Posting one video a day was already her utmost generosity!
This time, as the New Year was approaching, she mentioned it in a video, and they commented below, saying they wanted to see the New Year atmosphere in their area.
Shen Yao felt no pressure at all!
She felt that the New Year celebrations in their area were truly full of ritual and a strong sense of the festive season!
Before setting off, Shen Yao also filmed a video announcing that she would be live streaming today.
Then, when they arrived at the county town, she realized her decision might have been a bit rash.
People buying New Year's goods were in a state of extreme crowding. Just to park their car, they had to search through half the small county town, and only by parking in the lot next to a private restaurant did they manage to find a spot.
The most crucial point was that our group of over twenty people required five or six cars, as fewer would be overloaded!
However, with so many people, the possibility of moving together was not high, so even though they started walking together, as the crowds increased, everyone gradually got separated.
Fortunately, Mo Chen had the foresight to have the bodyguards they carried accompany everyone, ensuring that each separated group had familiar county town personnel by their side.
Shen Yao also got separated from the main group, with only her and Mo Chen by her side.
As for the two children, they were taken by Father and Mother Jiang from the start. Since their arrival, even Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper couldn't compete with them.
They even boasted that their family property might not necessarily be passed down to their grandsons, and that their son-in-law's nephews were not entirely out of the question!
This scared Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper into repeatedly refusing, saying, "They can't even manage their own family's inheritance properly, how can they bother with yours? You should leave your property to your own grandchildren!"
Regarding entrusting the two children to Father and Mother Jiang, everyone had no worries, especially given Father Jiang's physique. Who would be foolish enough to target him!
Thus, Shen Yao, feeling relaxed and carefree, pulled Mo Chen along for an extensive tour.
