Chapter 617: Chapter 605: The Age to Urge Marriage

After dinner, the whole family gathered in the living room, drinking tea, chatting, and had the Spring Festival Gala playing on the TV as background noise.

Some of them, bored, played cards or mahjong.

Xia Yue joined them at the mahjong table.

"I’ve seriously overeaten these past few days. All the weight I lost before is back," Xia Xin sighed.

"You could’ve eaten less, but you just had to eat so much. I didn’t even get a chance to steal your food," Xia Feng grumbled. She’d claim to not want any food, but when meal time came around, she’d be the first to dig in.

"I can’t help it. The food was just too delicious. I can just lose weight after the new year. If I don’t eat it now, I’ll barely have a chance to once Yueyue leaves," Xia Xin retorted, glaring at him.

"This New Year’s Eve dinner was the biggest one I’ve ever had. If my stomach hadn’t already been bursting, I’d still keep eating," Xia Yan nodded in agreement.

"It’s not good for you to eat and drink so excessively," Xia Yue advised them.

"You eat all day, every day, so you can’t talk," Xia Xin said jealously, looking at Xia Yue. She’d noticed that Xia Yue’s skin was getting better and cosmetically, she looked much more appealing than before.

Xia Yue looked back at her, a look of innocence on her face.

"How are you planning to spend the rest of your Spring Festival holiday?" Xia Yue decided to change the topic.

"We won’t be able to leave these next couple of days. Our aunts are coming tomorrow, along with some other friends and relatives. The day after that, we have to go visit our uncles. On the third day, I’ve made plans to go hang out with my friends," Xia Yan thought for a moment before responding.

"It’s not too bad for us, but our oldest and second oldest brothers have it the worst. They basically have no personal time because there’re so many banquets they have to attend.

In particular, our second oldest brother has to meet girls introduced to him by our second aunt. I heard their selections included quite a few girls, and he can meet them through these banquets," Xia Xin muttered.

"Really? Which families are they from? Do we know them?" Xia Yue asked curiously.

"Yeah, I think you should recognize them. There are the Lin, Han, and Mu Families.," Xia Xin answered hesitantly.

"Mom’s chosen a lot for you, too," Xia Feng said, looking at Xia Xin.

"How do you know? Who are they?" Xia Xin squinted, asking immediately.

"Same families-- the Han, Lin, and Mu Families," Xia Feng replied.

"Do you think Mom will cancel my card if I duck out of these matchmaking banquets?" Xia Xin pondered seriously before asking.

"I don’t think it’s that extreme. Grandpa doesn’t force us to marry. He just wants us to have the opportunity to build a happy family. So if you really don’t like it, you wouldn’t have to get married," Xia Yue said uncertainly.

"You’re still too young and inexperienced," Xia Xin shook her head, looking at her.

"Yueyue probably won’t have to deal with these problems because Aunt Number Two won’t pressure her. Xixi, do you like anyone?" Xia Yan thought about the way Aunt Number Two treated Yueyue and guessed that she wouldn’t worry about her. Their grandparents might show more concern, but their parents and uncles and aunts would focus more on their own children.

"I am not in hurry," Xia Xi seated next to Xia Yue, who was watching their card game, shook her head when asked by Xia Yan.

"I think Xixi and I can afford to mess around for another decade or so. After all, we have plenty of time," Xia Yue said, thinking about the longevity they’d acquire as their cultivation base grew, she laughed and said to Xia Xi.
