This was the most lavish meal their family had eaten all year.

The large table, which had been borrowed long ago, was piled high with more than a dozen plates.

In the past, the Sun family would never have dared to even think about it.

If you can eat white flour dumplings and have some meat during the Chinese New Year, then the New Year is considered to be a pretty good one.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the Zhao family, their lives got better and better.

It's impossible not to feel some emotion.

By the time all the food was ready, it was already dark outside.

Besides the food, there was also wine and soft drink on the table.

The alcohol was for Li Huai, while the soft drinks were for the women and children.

When the family raised their glasses, Zhao Qinglan smiled and started to drink.

"Happy New Year!"

This blessing was so fresh! Everyone joined in, clinking glasses.

"Happy New Year!"

For many families, being able to reunite and celebrate the Lunar New Year peacefully is a great blessing.

At this very moment, similar scenes are happening in countless households.

However, joy is accompanied by sorrow.

Wang Dahua and her nephew finally made it home on Lunar New Year's Eve.

But with their family like this—the elderly are sick, one of the young has gone missing, and a able-bodied person is in a labor camp—what joy can they possibly have on New Year's Eve?

The Zhao family, too, couldn't feel any joy.

Originally, Zhao Lao Er and Lao San were released before the Lunar New Year, so their family was complete.

Unfortunately, the internal conflicts within the Zhao family were ignited when the eldest son was forced to divorce, and continued to escalate due to numerous subsequent events.

Starting on the morning of New Year's Eve, the Zhao family members began arguing and bickering. It wasn't until that evening that the eldest son of the Zhao family suddenly threw a tantrum and overturned the table, thus ending the Zhao family's New Year's Eve dinner.
