In summary, it's all about gratitude... Thank you Heaven, thank you Earth, thank you Mountain God.

Thank you, Great Leader; thank you, ancestors for eighteen generations…

He then wished each family member a healthy and prosperous year ahead, and it wasn't until Uncle Xie finished speaking that everyone started eating.

"Little Sister Lin, you need to eat more! Look how thin you are!"

At the dinner table, Niu Li kept putting meat on Lin Xue's plate.

If Lin Xue hadn't been clearing land and doing farm work lately, which increased her strength and appetite, she really wouldn't have been able to finish all this food.

Fortunately, on this day, whether she was genuinely happy or not, she ate twice the usual amount of food.

"Auntie Niu, you should eat too!"

"Don't you love chicken feet the most? Here, take these!"

Lin Xue put the chicken feet into Niu Li's bowl. The hunters in the mountains had no shortage of meat, but they loved the scraps like chicken wings and chicken feet the most.

"Sister, try the cold noodles my mother makes, they're just as good as the ones sold at the market!"

Xie Yuchen picked up a piece of pea flour and put it into Lin Xue's bowl.

"Brother Xie, please try my cooking. These are chicken meatballs that I fried myself!"

Everyone took turns putting food on each other's plates, and we enjoyed a lively and festive New Year's Eve dinner.

After dinner, Lin Xue was taken by Xie Yuchen to the mountains to digest her food.

Compared to the heavy snowfall elsewhere, the mountains here remain green and the grass remains lush.

Apart from wild fruits, everything was lush and green.

The wintersweet, which is resistant to the cold, has long been covered with flower buds.

The two walked along the mountain path, neither speaking first.

It seems that simply walking aimlessly like this is already a very happy thing!
