"Okay, everyone is here. Xiao Qi, go set off the firecrackers. After that, we'll start eating the New Year's Eve dinner."

Yan Yuqi took out a pack of firecrackers from the house, opened it and placed it on the ground in the yard.

After he struck a match and lit the fuse, he hurried into the main room and closed the door.

Then the sound of firecrackers crackled and smoke spread in the yard.

Everyone was seated in the main room, and Yan Guoshu took out a bottle of foreign wine and poured it for Mr. Yan and Yan Guodong.

Others drank the wine Yan Ning brought back.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank before starting to eat.

After dinner, Yan Ning helped Old Mrs. Yan and Song Xiuyuan clean up the dishes in the kitchen.

Then everyone sat by the kang, warmed themselves by the fire and chatted.

Yan Ning took a few frozen pears, thawed them in water, and distributed them to everyone.

Eating frozen pears after the New Year’s Eve dinner can help sober up and relieve greasiness.

Old Mrs. Yan took out three red envelopes and gave them to Yan Ning, Yan Yuqi and Yan Yulin.

Song Xiuyuan also gave one to each of the three people.

Yan Guodong then took out three red envelopes and handed them to the three people.

The three of them took the red envelopes with a smile and wished everyone a happy new year and expressed their gratitude.

Yan Ning felt the red envelope given by Yan Guodong and found it was quite thick.

"Uncle, is your county party committee compound very busy at the end of the year? Do you have to rush back to work early tomorrow morning?"

Yan Guodong took a sip of tea, his eyes revealing joy, "I'm getting a promotion, the appointment documents have come down,

Before I am transferred from Qinghe County in mid-February, I need to finish handling the remaining matters in the County Party Committee compound.

So I will be very busy during this period and won’t have time to come back.”

"Promotion!"

Everyone looked at Yan Guodong in shock.
