The fish caught were handed over to the aunt for tonight's dinner and sometime later, everyone was gathered at the table except for Xu Wei who had been stepping outside due to work.

Xu Chen knew that his father liked to see people enjoy eating the fish he caught so he enthusiastically complimented," Father, today's fishes are quite fat!"

However, unlike his usual smug face, Grandpa Xu instead gave a snicker upon hearing his praise," Heh, of course, it's fat, they are not mine."

Xu Chen,"......" Damn, I stepped on a landmine.

Feeling humiliated, Grandpa Xu released the fish he caught back into the pond so that it could grow bigger later on. That's why all the fishes on the table were what Xu Ming caught.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Xu couldn't help but give a resentful look at his granddaughter-in-law who silently picked out the bone from the meat for her daughter.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Qin slightly leaned forward to block his line of sight to which Grandpa Xu glared at his cheap eldest grandson in return but the other person seemed to not notice this as he calmly continued to eat his food.

In the end, Grandpa Xu snorted and resumed eating his food whereas Madame Xu lightly elbowed her husband to salvage the mood.

Xu Chen got cued by his wife so he once again stepped up to say," Ah, I just got the news. Father, the drama that you said you want for season 2, it has already been confirmed that season 2 will air later this year."

Grandpa Xu quickly looked up at his son in surprise, he quickly reconfirmed," Really?!"

To his response, Xu Chen nodded his head," And guess what? Ah Wei will be the male lead. Recently, he has been talking with the director which was why he disappeared."

Knowing that the source was credible, not to mention, his grandson who acted decently in his opinion was the male lead, Grandpa Xu was relieved that the new season wouldn't be trash.

The smile was finally brought back on his face but it soon disappeared," That means, we won't be seeing each other for a long while again."

Their family members were all busy people so it was hard to see each other even if they were to live under the same roof so these days were already quite rare.

Not to mention, Grandpa Xu, who went off to live in the countryside where his wife's hometown was, had even fewer chances to see them each year.

While the old man became a bit saddened, Xu Mei's cheerful voice abruptly broke the silent atmosphere," Big Grandpa, should I spend my entire winter vacation at your place?!"

Hearing this, Grandpa Xu was immediately brought back to life, he chuckled," If Mei er comes, Big Grandpa will let you eat everything that I grow!"

Xu Mei did not know what were those that she was going to eat but she still cheered anyways," Yay! Big Grandpa is awesome!"

The little girl then tilted her head up to look at her mommy before innocently saying," I will be on Daddy's shoulders and pick the fruits with Mommy!"

Her words were not wrong but all the adults went silent after hearing her comment.

Xu Lin who saw that things were going down the wrong path quickly spoke up," Aiya! Mei er, what about aunty? You don't even mention me?"

Xu Mei did not know anything so she cutely replied," But Aunty rarely appears during that time of the year!"

Xu Lin pretended to be discontent," Of course, that was last year, this year is different ah Aunty can make time for you!"

Due to Xu Lin's effort, the atmosphere was eased but Xu Mei did not notice anything, which doesn't mean that Grandpa Xu did not.
