New Year's Eve.

The most important day of the year in Hua Country, and also the last day of the year.

To be precise, New Year's Eve and New Year are generally considered the same day, because people start wishing each other a Happy New Year as soon as New Year's Eve begins.

Outside the window, the sound of fireworks is ceaseless, and the brilliant fireworks bloom in the night sky.

On the sofa, Xu Beibei and Gu Bai are fighting over the remote control, even though the entire TV is broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala, the two still can't stop fighting over the sovereignty of the remote.

About the events in the villa area, the siblings tacitly didn't bring it up.

Xu Beibei was also sulking for a few days, but her girlish nature clearly didn't allow her to stay quiet for long; within a few days, she became lively again.

"Baibai, let Beibei have it for a bit! She's still young, don't tease her all the time."

On the other side of the sofa, Gu Bai's grandparents and Xu Beibei's grandparents sat smiling kindly, watching the two youngsters play around.

The Gu family isn't very large, with only Gu Jian Country as the only son, while the Xu family has Xu Hong and Xu Chenggong, and in the younger generation, there are only Gu Bai and Xu Beibei.

Listening to the grandma's words, Gu Bai handed the remote to Xu Beibei, but he couldn't help but tease, "Grandma, you're a bit biased; Beibei is only two years younger than me, she's already an adult. Who knows, maybe next year she'll bring you a grandson-in-law, and you still think she's young?"

Xu Beibei made a funny face at Gu Bai.

"I'm not looking for a boyfriend yet, I want to be a big star, and even if I look for a boyfriend, he'd have to be as outstanding as my brother!"

Gu Bai: "Then you're destined to be lonely forever because there aren't many men as outstanding as me."

"Vain!"

The youngsters are playing, and the elders are laughing.

A harmonious and joyous scene.

"Alright, stop fooling around, go wash your hands, and get ready to eat the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Xu Hong and Helan came out of the kitchen with two plates of dishes, shouting at the two.

Outside, Gu Bai is a respected Chairman Gu, but at home, no one takes him as the Chairman.

After washing his hands, Gu Bai looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but swallow, even though any dish outside would cost more than this whole table full.

Steamed spare ribs, steamed noodles, spicy crab, stinky mandarin fish, meatball soup.

A total of 12 dishes, all classic Anhui Province home-cooked dishes.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, the four elders took turns serving dishes to Gu Bai and Xu Beibei, even though their bowls were almost full, they still enjoyed it unceasingly.

In the eyes of the older generation, they always want to leave the best things for the kids, and Gu Bai accepted everything with a smile, eating heartily, making them smile from ear to ear.

After dinner.

On TV, Dong Qing, the familiar face of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, was smiling and wishing the people of the whole country a Happy New Year.

Gu Bai, having already seen the 2018 Spring Festival Gala in his previous life, wasn't interested in rewatching it and lay on the sofa busy replying to various blessings on his phone since dinner, he had received no less than a hundred messages, selecting a few important ones to reply to.

Suddenly, Gu Bai was drawn by something Dong Qing said on TV.

"2017 was a year full of emotions. Throughout the year, we didn't know how many touching tears were shed. Some things, even if they pass, will be remembered in people's hearts.

Next, please watch a skit based on a true story, 'The Road to School.'"

Listening to Dong Qing, Gu Bai couldn't help but frown.

He remembered clearly that the 2018 Spring Festival Gala definitely didn't have the skit 'The Road to School.'

He couldn't help but watch in silence for a while.

The plot of the skit was very simple, not much different from previous skits; it moved from laughter to tears, ending with a touching message.

It tells the story of a young man from a big city who, by some chance, travels to the mountains to help a group of children return to school, leading to a series of humorous and touching incidents.

The character played by actor Sheng Teng never had a name throughout the skit.

Until the end, as the skit was about to conclude, over a dozen young actors shouted at Sheng Teng's figure, "Thank you, Principal Gu."

The skit then came to an end.

Dong Qing and Kang Hui returned to the stage, especially Dong Qing, whose eyes were clearly shimmering with tears.

"The road to school is difficult; children wear down their own feet just to gain knowledge and change their destinies.

But the road to school is also so simple, because there will always be people like 'Principal Gu,' using their frail shoulders to help them on the path to knowledge."

The entire Spring Festival Gala venue erupted in applause.

Anyone who watched the Hua Country's grand event wouldn't find it difficult to guess the real-life prototype of Sheng Teng's "Principal Gu." Even Gu Jian Country, sitting in front of the TV, couldn't help but sit up straight and glance at Gu Bai with pride.

Although the entire story was artistically embellished, Gu Bai guessed that the "Principal Gu" in the script referred to himself. A feeling of shame unexpectedly surged within him.

When he started doing charity, his initial motivation was not purely altruistic, but from the beginning, the honor he enjoyed was overwhelmingly too much.

So much so that Gu Bai found it somewhat unbearable.

Just when Gu Bai didn't know how to deal with his emotions, the message alert on his phone sounded.
