Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 72 - Seventy-two who doesnt want to watch the Spring

Shen Cuilan couldn’t help but grumble.

“We’re all having a New Year’s Eve dinner, so why does Gu Chen’s house smell so fragrant?”

Upon hearing this, Tian Laosì was not pleased, although it did smell better than their own home’s cooking.

But after all, it was made by his own mother, who had worked hard all night. It was one thing not to compliment her cooking, but quite another to say that someone else’s food smelled better than theirs!

He gave Shen Cuilan a disdainful look,

“Alright, look at how round you are; when is food ever not delicious for you?”

Yan Yan was walking behind them by himself. The child didn’t have many strengths, but he had one, which was his sharp hearing.

Especially since he was walking on the side close to Gu Chen’s house.

Immediately, he could hear a faint singing voice coming from inside.

“Mom, Xiao Tangtang’s family has someone singing!”

As soon as he said this, Shen Cuilan immediately remembered the scene of Gu Chen moving the television during the day.

Isn’t there someone singing? Today is New Year’s Eve!

They must be watching the Spring Festival Gala at home!

Honestly, Shen Cuilan also wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

But they didn’t have a TV at home.

Every time she passed by the family quarters of the coal washing plant and saw other people’s color TVs, she was so envious.

She always thought how nice it would be to have one at home. If it were an ordinary day, she could let it go, but today was the most important night of the year!

She heard that Nicholas Tse would be on the Spring Festival Gala, and she liked Nicholas Tse the most!

Tian Laosì heard his child’s voice and started to listen more carefully.

The moonlight was cold and clear.

On this day, when every household gathered together for a reunion dinner, the small village seemed extraordinarily silent.

A faint singing voice spread from Gu Chen’s house, so distinct from the others.

That distinctiveness also carried a tinge of warm joy.

Everything seemed so wonderful.

Tian Laosì sighed. To be honest, he also wanted to let his son and daughter-in-law watch TV. What man doesn’t want to be the pillar of the household, the biggest reliance for his wife and child?

But oftentimes, it was a helpless situation; he only knew how to farm.

And the meager earnings from farming could barely support them in their daily lives.

There was no spare money to spend on such luxuries as a TV.

“How about we go over to Gu Chen’s house and join in the fun?” Shen Cuilan suggested, fearing Tian Laosì would disagree. She sighed, “Never mind, forget I said anything!”

After saying that, she took Yan Yan and prepared to enter their home.

Children are naive and don’t understand the so-called face that adults concern themselves with.

All he knew was that he wanted to go to Xiao Tangtang’s house to listen to the song!

It was really so pleasant to hear.

“Mom, I don’t want to go home, I want to go to Xiao Tangtang’s house.”

His son’s words completely broke Tian Laosì’s defenses.

He really was too wretched, spending his whole life honestly farming. Put nicely, it was being content with one’s lot; put harshly, he was just incompetent.

A capable person should be like Gu Chen, who used to be known as an infamous rascal.

But now? In just a few days’ time, he had bought a TV, and his wife and child dressed more fashionably than anyone.

Most importantly, they could eat meat every day in his household!

He saw Xiao Tangtang growing plumper by the day.

Now there’s flesh on her little face.

All day long it’s “Daddy, Daddy.”

To her, Gu Chen is simply the hero of her heart!

As for myself, my son and daughter-in-law always find something wrong with me, thinking I’m not good here or not right there.

I always thought Gu Chen was the laughingstock of the village, but now I see that I am the real laughingstock.

I’ve lived nearly forty years, and I can’t even compare to a young man in his early twenties!

After some thought, Tian Laosì gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, let’s go to Uncle Gu’s house to watch television!”

Having said that, he felt it would be inappropriate to arrive empty-handed and glanced at Shen Cuilan.

“Bring the peanuts I stir-fried this morning, it’s Chinese New Year after all, we can’t just go over and mooch off their TV without bringing anything!”

He came to the realization that compared to the happiness of his wife and child, face was worth nothing!

If I can’t afford a TV, going over to Gu Chen’s house to enjoy the Spring Festival Gala and have some fun is just fine.

“Ay!” Shen Cuilan never expected Tian Laosì to agree so readily and was so delighted that she immediately smiled, entered the house, and brought out a large bowl of stir-fried peanuts.

The family of three then went to knock on Gu Chen’s door.

Inside, a family of three was watching TV with grins on their faces when they heard someone knocking at the door.

Little Tangtang was the first to hear it and looked at Ji Pianran curiously, “Mommy, someone’s knocking, someone’s knocking!”

Upon hearing this, both of them looked towards the courtyard’s large iron gate through the window.

Ji Pianran then stood up, “I’ll go see who it is.”

Gu Chen hurried to stop her, “Never mind, I’ll go.”

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the door.

Once the door was opened, there stood Shen Cuilan and her family of three.

Gu Chen looked curious, “What’s this about?”

Tian Laosì held back for a while before finally starting to speak with an embarrassed look.

“Chenzi, now that your family has a TV, the kid wanted to watch it, so here I am, shamelessly knocking on your door.”

Gu Chen thought it was some serious matter but, hearing that they wanted to watch TV, he laughed.

“Sure, come on in, it’s just the three of us at home, a bit quiet.”

He said and hurriedly made way.

It’s the New Year; wanting to watch the Gala is understandable. With just the three of us at home, having Yan Yan over will be great, as she’ll be able to play with Tangtang. Children, after all, love a lively atmosphere.

Shen Cuilan quickly lifted the peanuts she was carrying and smilingly said, “We’re not watching for free; Old Tian stir-fried these just this morning, they’re really fresh.”

To tell the truth, Gu Chen didn’t lack for peanuts at all. In fact, he had bought quite a lot of chocolate.

But as neighbors, bringing something over shows they still have regard for you.

Gu Chen smiled, “Well then, thank you, Sister-in-law Cui Lan.”

Since Tian Laosì was older than him, calling her sister-in-law was all about giving face to Tian Laosì.

He was over forty, after all. No matter what, Gu Chen should call him brother.

As they were talking, they saw Ji Pianran lift the curtain and come out from inside.

During the New Year, you’d normally expect people to be eating dinner at their own homes, so she couldn’t fathom who would come to visit at this time.

Seeing that it was Shen Cuilan and her family of three, Ji Pianran looked puzzled.

“What’s going on…”

Gu Chen laughed, “Wife, Laosì said Yan Yan wanted to come over and watch TV.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran quickly smiled and stepped aside, “Come in, it’s cold outside.”

When Tangtang saw Yan Yan had come in, she was overjoyed and rushed over to grab Yan Yan’s little hand.

“Brother Yan Yan, did you eat meat today?”

Tian Laosì and Shen Cuilan only entered the house then and saw the New Year’s Eve dinner on Gu Chen’s table.

Oh wow!

No wonder it always smells so good; today, at a glance, it’s truly a chef’s skills.

The dishes are perfect in color, fragrance, and taste, and even the side dishes look delicious!

And there are so many!

They’ve really struck it rich!

Three people made six dishes, all meat, can they really finish all of it?

Tian Laosì was shocked, “Did Chenzi make all these?”

Gu Chen nodded, “Laosì, why don’t you sit down and try some, Pian Ran’s been saying I made too much.”
