Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 164

The air was thick with excitement as everyone exchanged warm "Happy New Year" greetings and passed their carefully chosen presents to the Lin Family Elders. The atmosphere was festive, cheerful, and filled with joy.

"Who are these lovely ladies?" Grandpa Lin asked, eyeing Nanzhi and Yu Baoyin with a twinkle in his eye.

"This is Nanzhi, and her friend is Yu Baoyin," Lin Weihao answered, his glance lingering on Nanzhi a little longer making the elders noticed.

"Welcome! Welcome! Make yourself at home!" Grandpa Lin beamed, his mood clearly brightened by the lovely guests.

When it was Nanzhi’s turn to greet the elders, Lin Daxia’s gaze wandered to the delicate hair accessory in her hair, and a knowing smile spread across her face. Ah, she thought, so that’s why my son was pestering me the other night. She elegantly covered her mouth and a quiet chuckle escaped her lips.

On the other hand, Grandpa Lin and Pan Chen exchanged amused glances as they noticed the matching bracelets adorning the wrists of Nanzhi and Lin Weihao. They almost burst out laughing. Ah, they thought in unison, tokens of affection already? It won’t be long before another wedding is in the works!

"Happy New Year, Auntie. I hope you’ll like the moon cakes and these gifts," Nanzhi said with a smile, presenting the beautifully wrapped boxes.

"Oh my, you shouldn’t have gone to all that trouble!" Lin Daxia replied, her heart warmed by Nanzhi’s thoughtfulness. My daughter-in-law is so considerate, she mused, accepting the gifts with a grateful smile.

The three elders, ever perceptive, immediately picked up the sweet scent wafting from the boxes. It was clear they were no ordinary gifts.

"Come, come, don’t stand around in the living room! Let’s go to the dining room," Grandpa Lin called out warmly, ushering everyone forward.

Inside the Lin Family’s spacious dining hall, the festive mood was in full swing. Lin Jianjun, the head of the family, sat at the head of the table, looking sharp in his white tang suit, which was adorned with bamboo ink wash paintings. His hair was neatly combed, and his amiable smile made him look younger than his years.

To his right sat Lin Daxia, elegant as ever in a white qipao, her hair gathered into a simple but graceful bun. Lin Weihao, on his left, wore a relaxed expression, with Lin Yicheng in his blue suit seated between Nanzhi and Lin Weihao. The rest of the seats were filled by Feng Ran, Yu Baoyin, Bingwen, and Hei Qian, all looking forward to the delicious meal ahead.

The moment Nanzhi settled into her seat, she was bombarded by questions from the eager elders.

"When did you two meet?" Lin Daxia asked, her eyes twinkling. "What do you like about my son?"

"Tell me, are you some sort of magician?" Grandpa Lin asked with a chuckle. "I never thought anyone could make that blockhead fall in love!"

Nanzhi, trying to keep a straight face, replied, "Well, I do have my tricks up my sleeve."

"And can you cook?" Lin Jianjun asked, narrowing hiseyes with playful suspicion. "No? That’s fine! My grandson can learn! He’ll cook for you all his life!"

Lin Weihao was used to their antics and didn’t take it to heart. At least Zhi Zhi was comfortable.

"I hope you didn’t misunderstand his cold personality," Lin Daxia had a playful grin on her lips. "He’s just a bit shy… and maybe a little awkward."

"Oh, how did you manage to decode his cryptic speech that is akin to an ancient scripture? Even the enemy’s code was easier to decipher than his." Grandpa Lin added with a wink.

"If he ever acts like some cold, untouchable prince, just remind him that I changed his diapers once," Lin Daxia said with a mischievous grin.

"Grandpa. Mom. Can we please talk about this later." Lin Weihao interjected, his lips twitching. His instincts told him that if he doesn’t stop, these two would mention something embarrassing from his childhood.

Nanzhi also smiled. She never expected the Lin Family folks to be this simple and friendly. It was a far cry from the gatherings of the Lu Family. At the same time, she missed her father and mother.

Feng Ran, Yu Baoyin, Bingwen, and Hei Qian all stifled their laughter, clutching their chopsticks in an attempt to contain their amusement.
