Susan turned and got busy, while Lin Feng received a call from Tony.
"Lin! My construction schedule is set. What kind of new home do you want?"
Even amidst the Christmas rush, Tony hadn't forgotten to arrange a new house for Lin Feng.
"I have a few blueprints here, do you want to take a look?" Tony continued.
He had arranged several sets of blueprints, many of which had an oriental style.
As a friend, Tony was certainly very considerate.
"Don't trouble yourself, Tony. Just enjoy your Christmas properly," Lin Feng said.
"After New Year's Day, I'll handle the house myself!"
Lin Feng possessed the ability of creation, able to materialize anything from his mind, which was much faster than any construction team.
He planned to build his new home during the interval between New Year's Day and Spring Festival.
Originally, he had intended to build a large estate, but after discussing it with Susan, they opted for a standard villa, albeit a much larger one than before.
The primary reason was that an estate, being too vast, made Susan feel they would be lost and lonely within it.
And the servants... well, Susan wasn't quite accustomed to that.
Lin Feng also felt his initial choice was hasty. He himself was a bit of a homebody, disliking the constant presence of servants.
Thus, they both agreed and abandoned the original plan.
"Alright, alright, I respect your choice," Tony said over the phone.
"But I've prepared a gift for you, it should be arriving soon." Tony checked the time.
"I know you prefer celebrating New Year's Day, so I've prepared a gift for you for that too!"
Tony was well aware of Eastern customs and knew that New Year's Day and Spring Festival held special significance for Lin Feng.
"Heh, what a coincidence, I've also prepared a Christmas gift for you," Lin Feng replied.
Lin Feng also greatly respected his friends' customs and holidays.
After a brief chat and laughter, they hung up.
Lin Feng spent Christmas amidst much merriment.
Of course, he himself didn't feel much of it.
Lin Feng spent Christmas with Susan and the others.
And then, for New Year's Day, they celebrated it with Lin Feng.
In the West, New Year's Day also marked the beginning of the year.
Furthermore, with Easterners spread across the globe, wherever there were people of Eastern descent, there was bound to be festive cheer!
So, even in New York, one could see many cheerful decorations.
If one went to places like Chinatown, they would see numerous shops elaborately decorated with festive splendor!
On New Year's Day, Lin Feng had also prepared many small gifts for Susan and the others.
Notably, when Lin Feng handed a gift to Lin Jili, he discreetly recorded it.
Poor Lin Jili, after joyfully unwrapping her gift, her face visibly fell.
Her hand, holding the gift, trembled involuntarily.
"Five Years of Gaokao?!" Lin Jili's face contorted!
She recalled the terror she had experienced five days prior, dominated by Lin Feng's gift...
Last Christmas, he had sent a pile of test papers, and now for New Year's, he gave her this?!
Lin Jili held up the book, staring at Lin Feng in disbelief.
"My dearest Lin Feng daddy!"
"Don't you know that educational pacing is different between the East and West!!"
"And even in the East, this would be too early for someone my age!"
Lin Jili spoke each word through gritted teeth.
"Besides, do I even need to look at this thing?"
"Are you just trying to get out of giving me a gift?!"
That despicable Lin Feng, as a cosmic cube, had no one on Earth to teach her knowledge.
On the first day of the new year, he dared to trick the cosmic emperor with this?!
Lin Jili burst into tears, much to Lin Feng's amusement.
Isn't giving children "Five Years of Gaokao and Three Years of Practice" a traditional move?
Susan couldn't bear to watch anymore and kicked Lin Feng, not too hard, clearly reprimanding him for teasing the child.
Lin Feng scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.
He actually had other gifts prepared, but those would have to wait until Spring Festival.
Speaking of gifts, Tony's present had also arrived.
Lin Feng accepted it with a peculiar expression.
Well, how to put it, it was very gaudy.
For Christmas, it was five apples made of gold... one for each person in Lin Feng's household...
And for New Year's, the gift was a set of pure gold figurines, sculpted in the likeness of Lin Feng's family.
Incidentally, the two cats were also made into small pure gold statues...
They glittered, expensive, but just felt a bit vulgar...
That set of figurines was temporarily put away, to be displayed in the study once Lin Feng's new villa was completed.
And speaking of the new villa, Lin Feng became busy after New Year's Day.
This year, New Year's Day was very close to Spring Festival, only about twenty days apart.
Susan and the others, who had been busy for the past few days, were now lounging and resting.
For them, the new year had already begun.
But for Lin Feng, it wouldn't truly begin until that day arrived!
In just three days, Lin Feng used his creation ability to build a larger villa in the existing villa area.
In fact, it could have been built in a day, but some details needed to be optimized.
This was Lin Feng's future residence, so he couldn't afford to be sloppy.
Inside the new villa, they also placed comfortable sofas and other furniture, similar to the ones they had purchased from the Garnier transit station.
Soon, the family moved out of Tony's hillside villa and into their new home.
Although both were villas, someone else's and one's own were different.
Only one's own villa had a sense of belonging, only then could it be called home!
After arranging various items, Lin Feng became busy again, preparing for the New Year.
He was running around, sometimes disappearing for half the day, and no one knew what he was doing.
"He wasn't busy at Christmas, but now he's become so active," Lin Jili muttered, sitting on the sofa in the new villa with a pout.
She was still upset about Lin Feng giving her a stack of strange books.
"It can't be helped. For him, Spring Festival is an indispensable major holiday, just like our Christmas," Susan explained from the side.
As Lin Feng's other half, she deeply respected the festivals of his hometown, just as Lin Feng respected hers.
"Yes, yes, I can understand that!" Wanda raised her hand, the two of them were watching TV.
"Isn't tomorrow the day Lin Feng mentioned? New Year's Eve, right!" Wanda recalled.
In the past couple of days, Lin Feng had been whispering about this matter to them incessantly.
It was precisely because of this that Wanda knew how important this festival was.
