"Why don't you go inside and sit down? What are you muttering about here?"
Li Yun pushed open the large balcony door and slapped Li Hao's shoulder.
It was the afternoon of New Year's Eve.
Almost all the relatives and friends at home had arrived, and Li Jian Country and Jiang Xin were busy going in and out of the kitchen.
Li Jian Country grew up with no elders, having been raised collectively.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xin was the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family, with parents above her and siblings below.
So, when it came to festivals and celebrations, the whole family would usually gather together for a meal.
This year it happened to be their turn, marking a rare busy period for Li Jian Country and Jiang Xin in recent years.
"You know, I've never been fond of crowds."
Glancing sideways into the room at the relatives and friends, Li Hao shrugged slightly as he spoke.
Li Hao was the child adopted by Jiang Xin and her spouse, while Li Yun was a girl.
