"It's enough to come back for lunch. There's no need to do it again at night." Tan Mo knew that Tan Wenci was actually thinking about the reunion dinner, about wanting everyone to be present.

As for when to eat, it didn't really matter.

Speaking of which, the Tan family actually didn't have many rules about the New Year.

The New Year's Eve dinner didn't have to be eaten only at night.

She didn't need to ask Tan Wenci about this. Tan Mo already knew Tan Wenci's thoughts about it.

Wei Zhiqian turned over in bed. "We've already discussed how to arrange the post-wedding feast. So when should we get married?"

Since they were engaged, there was naturally no need for the proposal.

Tan Mo felt that Tan Wenci really didn't think wrongly about Wei Zhiqian. As expected, he immediately thought of marriage.

"We haven't even announced our engagement yet, and you're already thinking of marriage?" Although Wei Zhiqian couldn't see it, Tan Mo still glared.

Wei Zhiqian laughed to himself. "I didn't mention it casually. Actually, I've been thinking about it all this time. I just feel that you're still young, and I'm worried that you don't want to get married too early."

"However, the two of us are already living together now. After getting married, there's not much difference from now on. If we have to point something out, it might be the addition of a marriage certificate and the fact that the two of us can live together openly without having to hide it from our elders anymore. As for the rest, there is no difference at all in way we live together now and the way we'll do so in the future."

"Others might worry that after we get married, the two of us will have different living habits, but we don't." After being together for more than ten years, they were already very familiar with each other. Other than the tacit understanding between them, in fact, they had already developed the same habits in all aspects.

"Think of us living together. How comfortable will our life be?" Wei Zhiqian said seductively. "Think about it. Even if we get married, it won't be much different from now, right?"

The thing that moved Tan Mo the most from what Wei Zhiqian said was that she could live together with him openly, and her parents wouldn't say anything.

Tan Mo said quietly, "Then... When should we get married?"

Wei Zhiqian did not expect Tan Mo to ask so directly.

But when he thought about it, he did not find it strange.

Tan Mo had always been such a real and unpretentious person.

"When do you want to get married? Can we do it by this year?" Wei Zhiqian accidentally revealed his ideal marriage time.

"Are we able to make it for this year? Don't we still need to book a hotel or something?" Although Tan Mo herself was inexperienced, she had seen other people get married before, so she knew a little bit about wedding preparations.

"If we were to hold a wedding in Shengyue Hotel, we wouldn't need to book it so far in advance. We can hold it whenever we want. As long as we tell Beicheng, he will immediately give us the largest venue," Wei Zhiqian said.

The people of the eight great clans all held their weddings at Shengyue Hotel.

The venue was large enough, and they only needed to ask to get access to a hall. It was very convenient, so there was no need to travel far.

"Besides, we can get the certificate first and not delay the preparation of the wedding," said Wei Zhiqian. "Once we get a certificate, we can live together openly. It's very convenient to discuss the wedding after."

Tan Mo's mind was already filled with images.

Seeing that Tan Mo didn't object to getting married this year, the two simply discussed how to tell the elders.

Of course, the main thing was how to tell Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen.

The Wei family definitely didn't have any objections and would be quite happy.

After all, although Tan Mo was young, Wei Zhiqian wasn't.

Since he had already established his business, it was time to start a family.

The two old folks, along with Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan, would definitely be happy that Wei Zhiqian could get married as soon as possible.

However, on the Tan family's side, because she was young, Tan Wenci might not be won over so easily. It would still take some convincing.

As she chatted with Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo gradually felt sleepy.

Just as she opened her mouth and yawned, Wei Zhiqian said, "Sleepy?"

Tan Mo did not treat him as an outsider. She yawned completely and her eyes were wet from sleepiness. She replied, "Yes, I'm finally a little sleepy."

"Then sleep quickly." Wei Zhiqian urged.

After saying goodnight to Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo placed her phone next to the pillow and closed her eyes to sleep.

However, without Wei Zhiqian holding her, even when she fell asleep, Tan Mo did not sleep well. She felt that nothing was right.

She woke up early in the morning when it was only beginning to get bright.

Once she opened her eyes, she couldn't fall back asleep.

In the past, when fireworks were not prohibited, she could always hear the sound of the first whip in the early morning.

At that time, Tan Mo was always annoyed by it.

She slept late on New Year's Eve, but was woken early on the first day of the New Year.

Tan Mo was usually not upset when she woke up.

But in the past, when fireworks could be set off on the first day of the New Year, she would definitely be frustrated when she woke up.

Tan Mo got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony. She opened the window to let the outside air in.

The cold wind instantly cooled the room.

Tan Mo suddenly shivered. She raised her head and sniffed the chilly morning air that still held the smell of grass and earth. Only then did she close the floor-to-ceiling window again.

She turned around and went to wash up.

After washing up, Tan Mo heard some movement downstairs. She tidied up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

The Tan family were indeed all present.

However, when they saw Tan Mo up so early, they were all very surprised.

"Momo, why are you up so early?" Tan Jinsheng was astonished.

In the past, Tan Mo complained that those people released their whips too early.

"I woke up naturally, and couldn't go back to sleep." Tan Mo came down.

Those present saw that although her eyes were a little dark, she didn't look like she was still half-asleep. They couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

Why couldn't she fall asleep?

Was it because Wei Zhiqian wasn't around?

The three brothers of the Tan family came to this idea together.

It wasn't good to think about such things. Once they thought about it, it was enough to cause upset.

Auntie Guo could only return on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Therefore, every year on New Year's Eve, the Tan family would hire a chef to prepare the dinner.

From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, either they would order takeout or Xu Mingzhen would make some simple preparations.

For example, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Tan family members would mostly eat dumplings for breakfast.

The dumplings were from the day before.

Auntie Guo bought a lot of them at one go.

There was enough for them to eat it once more during the New Year.

However, Tan Mo had never been very interested in dumplings.

She could eat them, but she didn't like them very much.

It was just a tradition that had always been upheld during festivals, so she ate them symbolically.

Compared to the dumplings, the fried dumplings were slightly more appetizing.

Therefore, on the first morning of the New Year, Xu Mingzhen boiled some dumplings, and fried yet others.

She didn't use garlic paste to make the sauce so that they wouldn't have bad breath during the New Year visitations.

She only added vinegar, soy sauce, and a little bit of chili oil to enhance the flavor.

Breakfast was porridge accompanied by a few plates of pickled vegetables.

However, everyone in the Tan family liked porridge with pickled vegetables.
