Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lets buy lanterns. We wont put up couplets this year. Its troublesome.

When they passed by a shop selling lanterns, Lu Zhou suddenly suggested.

Shangguan Dian looked at him and smiled coldly. Youre saying it like you pasted the couplets previously.

Thats right! Lu Sheng pouted. Uncle Shangguan and I pasted them every year. You werent troubled.

Then, Im saving you trouble. Lu Zhou casually picked a few pairs of lanterns and continued, In recent years, there hasnt been any fireworks. The festive feeling has faded a lot. It doesnt matter if the couplets are pasted or not.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. Master, do you know the feeling of ritual? Its the new year after all. The feeling of ritual cannot be lacking.

Okay, up to you. Lu Zhou shrugged. Pick the couplets. Dont call me when you put them up.

Shangguan Dian smiled faintly. Dont worry. In the past, when there were fewer people, you werent needed, much less this year.

Lu Zhou glanced at him and continued buying the new year goods.

Ye Luo and Elder Sen were mesmerized by all kinds of food. They bought this and that.

The duo only stopped when Lu Zhou said that the car could not accommodate them.

That night, Lu Sheng, Chu Sihan, and Jun Hao pasted couplets upstairs and downstairs.

Lu Zhou hung up the lanterns he bought. It did look quite festive.

The next morning, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian went out to buy ingredients.

As the market would only open on the second day of the new year, they had to buy two days worth of ingredients.

Lu Sheng also got Chu Sihan and Jun Hao to help her clean the house.

Actually, these problems could be resolved with a spell. However, as Jun Hao was around, they could not be implemented.

Moreover, Lu Sheng felt a sense of achievement only when she cleaned it personally.

At night, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian prepared a sumptuous dinner and took out the red wine that they had kept for a long time.

After staying in the Lu family for a while, Jun Hao was already used to the Lu familys lifestyle and was not as restrained as before.

Seeing Lu Zhou take out the wine, he took the initiative to ask him to open it.

Lu Zhou did not stand on ceremony and passed him the red wine.

Ye Luo and Elder Sen had been in this world for a while, but they had never drunk red wine.

When they drank outside, they usually drank beer or white wine. At home, Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian rarely drank, unless guests came.

Hence, after the two of them clinked glasses with everyone, everyone only tasted it in small mouthfuls, but the two of them directly downed it.

Seeing that everyone was still drinking, the two of them were stunned.

Why didnt you finish it? Ye Luo asked.

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. Red wine needs to be tasted in small mouthfuls. Who asked you to finish it?

Why cant I down red wine into my mouth? Elder Sen did not understand.

If you drink red wine too quickly, you will only feel an astringent taste. You have to taste it slowly to taste its delicacy.

Lu Zhou shook the red wine in his wine glass and tasted it elegantly.

Elder Sen nodded, not fully understanding. He hurriedly poured himself some more and shook it like Lu Zhou. Then, he took a sip.

Perhaps because of his psychological effect, he felt that his drink indeed tasted better.

Since were staying up late for the new year, lets play mahjong all night, suggested Elder Sen.

He had recently become obsessed with playing Fight the Landlord and mahjong.

No, Lu Zhou said. Lets just watch television.

If youre not playing, dont we still have so many people? Elder Sen looked at Shangguan Dian and asked, Demon King, will you play?
