Nohara Shrine hadn't been cleaned for a few days, and the steps were covered with snow. Shiraishi returned by bike, but was too lazy to clean it himself, so he snapped his fingers and turned the place back to the way it was when he had just left, clean and tidy.

He went to Inoue Supermarket, bought a half-price bento, and curled up in the kotatsu, calculating that they would be back in three days.

Kaminagi Rin sent a voice call on time, he answered it, continued chatting until nine o'clock, and ended the topic on time.

Looking at the other people in the friend list, Xiaosen is, needless to say, a well-behaved child. If we tell her to rest, she will definitely have a good rest.

Jing is as willful as a cat. She will chat when she wants to, and she will chat when she doesn’t want to. It is normal for her to not say a word for ten days or half a month.

The New Year is almost here, but no one has even sent him a greeting. Bai Shi muttered to himself and glanced at Gui Longyuan. He thought she would be the first one who couldn't wait and sent him a message.

Now that I think about it, it was a bit unrealistic to expect the Husky that I sold to come back.

He quit Line and chose to watch short videos on YouTube. He was so busy that he forgot when he fell asleep.

……

Ding ding ding, the phone made a series of sounds. Bai Shi opened his eyes dazedly. The living room was shrouded in darkness. He clicked to answer the call, "Who?"

"Shiraishi-kun~It's me!" The hearty voice was like the cool breeze in the mountains in summer, making people feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

"Giryuin, is there anything you can do for me?" Shiraishi yawned and continued to lie on the tatami, not wanting to leave the kotatsu.

"The sunrise on the first day of the new year!"

Guilongyuan Meiya shouted happily, "Hurry up and get up to the roof. Hey, let's watch the sunrise together. Don't continue to sleep in!

I also need to inform Kaminagi, Komori, and Aoi, so I’ll hang up now.”

"Hey, you." Gui Longyuan said he would hang up, and Bai Shi looked outside. What sunrise was he looking at? He continued to lie down.

After a while, the sliding door of the living room was opened, and a figurine-sized fire man floated in the air, directly connected to his mind, "Shiraishi-kun~ Guilongyuan asked me to come and wake you up."

"That guy is really proactive about this kind of thing." Shiraishi complained and had to climb out of the kotatsu.

The inner ghost was very considerate, and the flames turned into a coat that covered the surface of his body.

"This way, Shiraishi-kun won't be cold." Jun Komori said in a gentle tone.

Shiraishi glanced at the fire on his arm and said, "Thank you, Komori."

"You're welcome. I'm happy to be able to do something for Shiraishi-kun." Jun Komori replied gently.

He left the living room and went up to the roof.

The sky was gray, the cold wind was blocked by the inner ghost, and the shadow of the sun could not be seen for the time being. "Xiao Sen, how have you been these days?"

"Besides meditating every day, I just watched anime with my sister. I didn't do anything special. How was your trip to Hokkaido, Shiraishi-kun?"

"It's okay. The ski resort in Sapporo is quite interesting." He repeated his experience that day without feeling bored.

Small talk is just repeating the topic you have already discussed to different people.

Jun Komori listened quietly, and only responded when a response was needed. She was used to listening to others in this way, and she didn't mind that her presence was like air.

As time passed, the sun of the first day of the new year emerged from the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds red.

"Happy New Year, Shiraishi-kun."

Jun Komori sent his congratulations.

"Well, Happy New Year, Komori."

Bai Shi was looking at the sunrise and suddenly he wanted to see them.

ps: My throat hurts, I hope I’m not infected. I live in the countryside and it shouldn’t be that serious when I go out to buy groceries.

Chapter 164: Entertaining the Future Father-in-law and Mother-in-law

When it comes to the New Year, everyone seems to have some expectations in their hearts, a new starting point for the year.

When that day really comes, the day will not be much different from any other day.

After enjoying the sunrise, Jun Komori returned home.

Shiraishi began to receive the residents of Nohara City who came to visit the New Year's Shrine. He was busy until noon, and the noise was basically over.

He returned to the mansion, took out cans of ice beer, poured the frozen dumplings into boiling water, stirred them with chopsticks, and placed vinegar and chili peppers on the side.

He received New Year greetings from Rin Kaminagi and Misae Kiryuin on his mobile phone. He replied one by one and wished them a happy new year.

Opening YouTube, many bloggers were congratulating their fans. Shiraishi naturally didn't want to be left behind and posted a message to congratulate his more than 2,000 fans. However, because he wasn't very diligent in updating, his fans mostly increased and decreased, with not much growth.

After the dumplings were cooked in hot water, Bai Shi picked them up with chopsticks, dipped them in vinegar and chili, and ate them happily, occasionally drinking a sip of cold beer and watching funny videos with a smile.

The day passed peacefully, and the next day became a little busy.

……

Because the Komori family came to pay New Year's greetings.

Visiting relatives or thanking leaders for their help is a Chinese New Year custom.

Shiraishi is the chief priest, and Komori's parents believe that more gifts are better, so they come to his house early in the morning to wish him a happy new year.

He had no self-awareness at all, and when several people stepped into the barrier, they found that the number of people was wrong.

Bai Shi finally figured out the key point and thought to himself that it was bad because he was completely unprepared for how to receive guests paying New Year's greetings.

Luckily, he prepared plenty of easy-to-cook food for the New Year so he could be lazy.

For example, frozen dumplings and glutinous rice balls can be boiled in hot water and served as delicious food to entertain guests.

Snacks include duck legs, duck necks, potato chips, orange juice, etc. bought from the supermarket.

Sometimes, his reluctance to go out can come in handy at special moments.

For example, in the current situation, if we don’t have these large amounts of household supplies, we must use extraordinary powers to entertain guests.

Bai Shi tidied up his clothes and combed his messy long hair.

Ding Dong, the doorbell rang, and Bai Shi said loudly, "I'm here."

He ran across the tatami in slippers, and conjured up a few pairs of slippers so that the guests would not have to walk barefoot on the cold floor, and opened the sliding door.

Standing outside was the Komori family.

It can be seen that Komori's parents are dressed very formally and holding New Year gift boxes in their hands.

When the door opened, the two bowed politely, and Komori's father spoke: "Happy New Year, Lord Shiraishi, thank you for taking care of Komori and her sister this year. This is a small token of our appreciation, please don't despise it."

"You are so polite. Please come sit in the living room."

Bai Shi was troubled by this formal etiquette and felt that it would be impolite if he was not formal. "Have you eaten this morning? I'm about to make dumplings, let's eat together."

"Sorry to bother you." Komori's father bowed again, showing great respect.

Shiraishi smiled and accidentally glanced at Komori Jun's eyes.

Those wine-red eyes stared at him without blinking. Although it seemed that she was not scolding him harshly, it was actually her most severe attitude.

Based on her understanding of Shiraishi, the frozen dumplings in the house were 100% bought from the supermarket and had no nutritional value at all.

Everyone says we shouldn’t eat junk food, so why not let her come over and cook for us?

Shiraishi felt guilty when he saw her looking at him, so he quickly avoided her sight and started chatting with her parents, or to be more precise, with Komori's father.

Komori's mother was a very traditional Japanese wife. Her husband was almost always the first to handle social interactions, and she seldom interrupted.

It’s not that she is taciturn, but she has a clear definition of the people she communicates with.

If Shiraishi had a wife, she would be happy to communicate with her, as men would never be allowed to step into the housewife's battlefield.

And vice versa.

Due to the presence of their parents, the Komori sisters could only behave properly.

Simple chatting made Bai Shi feel more strenuous than fighting. He had to think over every word he said to avoid making a bad impression.

After seeing off the Komori family, Shiraishi felt slightly relieved, but not completely relaxed. If the Komori family showed up, it meant that the rest of the people would show up.

He opened the gift box given by the Komori family, which contained some mixed items such as chocolate, biscuits, and a bunch of dried fruits, walnuts and so on.

Bai Shi arranged these things and made a pot of tea, preparing to welcome the next family to visit during the New Year.

……

The Guilongyuan family was the second family to pay New Year's greetings. Unlike the Komori family who were respectful and weak, they seemed very lively.

Ding ding ding~ Gui Longyuan Mei Ya pressed the doorbell with her index finger frantically, as if she had returned to her own home, and shouted loudly: "Shiraishi-kun~ I'm back~"

Boom! Mom’s fist landed on the back of her head. She said angrily, “Call me Lord God!”

The door opened, and Shiraishi was dressed in white. Gui Longyuan's mother smiled gently and said, "I'm sorry, Mei Ya looks a bit like her father. Please don't be offended, Master Shenzhu."

"Well, it's okay." Bai Shi smiled and said sideways: "Please come in."

"See, I said it doesn't matter." Guilongyuan Meisai immediately straightened her chest, trying to seek justice for the beating she received, but received a stern look from her mother, which seemed to indicate that if she dared to continue talking nonsense, she would be punished by the family rules.

Guilongyuan Meiya has been tough since she was young. She has been beaten countless times. Although she doesn't remember it very much, she was still a little afraid before being beaten. She shrank her shoulders and showed a flattering smile like a Shiba Inu.

Guilongyuan's mother sighed inwardly and glanced at her husband with a sad look.

It was all because of this guy who said that learning karate could protect oneself in this chaotic world, which caused her to raise her daughter to have such a carefree personality.

"Have you eaten it?" Bai Shi asked out of politeness. If they hadn't eaten it, he would have to continue making dumplings and eat it again.

The host can't just sit there and watch the guests eat.

Gui Long Yuan Mei Ya smiled and said, "I have eaten. Has the Lord of Gods not eaten yet?"

"No, I've eaten too. Come in and have a cup of tea." Bai Shi smiled and invited the Guilongyuan family to the living room.

"No wine?" Gui Longyuan Daxiong looked at the light tea and expressed his opinion dissatisfiedly, and was pinched by his wife again. "Haha, please don't listen to this guy's nonsense. He drinks all year round. Will you die if you drink less for one day?"

She gritted her teeth, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a dark aura.

Guilongyuan Daxiong swallowed his saliva, quickly picked up the teacup, and stammered: "Tea, tea is delicious~"

"It's okay, I just want a drink."

Shiraishi stood up, took out his own stock from the refrigerator, replaced the tea in front of Nobita, and put a smile on his face. How could they chat without drinking?

In Nobita's opinion, men's conversation needs to be maintained with alcohol.

Drinking and chatting here make the New Year's greetings lively.

……

On the other side, the Kaminagi family.

The atmosphere during the New Year's greetings was extremely depressing. The family with so many rules did not give people the sense of joy that the New Year should have.

If I have to say something, it would be the decorations hanging in the house that let people know that the Kamanagi family is celebrating the New Year.

People who came to pay New Year's greetings lined up like ministers waiting to be summoned, and one by one sent New Year's greetings to the head of the family behind the curtain.

After the greetings, you cannot leave the hall and must sit at the table on the side.

The seat is determined by bloodline and seniority.

Rin Kaminagi was kneeling on the ground with a cold expression. Her gorgeous kimono showed distinct layers, making her look like an exquisite doll without any human presence.

She just wanted to finish the New Year's greetings here as soon as possible and then go to the shrine to pay New Year's greetings.

If she could decide to pay New Year's greetings, she wouldn't have come here so immediately, she complained in her heart as she looked at the scene in front of her.

Rin Kaminagi quietly slid out her cell phone from her sleeve. She had already turned it to silent mode and took a look at the message.

Komori has finished paying New Year's greetings, but Guilongyuan is still there.

She chose to send a message to Komori, complaining about the New Year greetings rules of the Kaminagi family. If taking photos was allowed, she really wanted to take a photo of this feudal occasion and send it to Komori.

Rin Kaminagi was happily chatting when she suddenly felt a gaze coming towards her. She looked over and saw that it was Soutarou Kaminagi who was kneeling beside her. He was as steady as an iron statue falling to the ground.

His cold eyes revealed a hint of warning, indicating that she should not play with her mobile phone in such a solemn occasion.

Tsk, she felt unhappy, but she quietly put away her phone and acted like a qualified doll lady.

This boring New Year's greetings lasted until noon, and only after lunch did the head of the family allow everyone to disperse.

Kaminagi Rin was able to return to her mother's Bentley, stretched out her body in the back seat, and said, "I'm so tired."

"Don't say such things." Michiko reminded her, with a hint of blame between her eyebrows, and said: "Soutarou didn't expose you playing with your phone before, that was because of our brother-sister relationship."

"Forget it. That guy can't possibly have that kind of brother-sister feeling towards me."
