The dishes filled the entire round table, and at first glance it looked like a full banquet.

Ran Qiu made his best dish, braised fish.

Song Zhi took a bite and gave him a thumbs up in praise.

“It’s delicious!”

Ran Qiu smiled and picked up a few more pieces of fish for her.

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Song Zhi nodded, looking very satisfied as she ate. She loved eating fish, and the fish cooked by Ran Qiu was really delicious.

This scene fell into Song Anshan's eyes, and he smiled with relief.

"Let's raise a toast together."

He suggested.

Everyone quickly put down their chopsticks, picked up the cups in front of them, and clinked their glasses in the air.

"Happy New Year."

Song Anshan was in a good mood today and opened a bottle of good wine.

Ran Qiu drank a little with him, but he was not a good drinker, and the alcohol content of the wine was not low, so his cheeks turned red after drinking a little of the cool wine.

Song Zhi and the others were drinking beverages. Seeing that Ran Qiu could no longer bear it, they took the opportunity to persuade him.

"Dad, drink less."

Song Anshan nodded and stopped persuading Ran Qiu to drink.

They had their New Year’s Eve dinner early, and it was still light outside after they finished.

Song Zhi took a look and saw that there were already quite a few children playing downstairs.

She waved her hand and said to the three little guys, "Come on, put on your clothes, and let's go downstairs to set off firecrackers."

When the three little guys heard that they could set off firecrackers, they cheered excitedly.

They quickly put on their thick cotton jackets.

This cotton-padded jacket was given to them by Song Zhi. It is a brand new one and very thick.

"Ran Qiu, are you going?"

After Song Zhi put on his clothes, he looked back at Ran Qiu and asked.

Ran Qiu nodded, put on his clothes, and went downstairs with them.

He drank a little too much and his head was dizzy.

After opening the door, the cold wind made me feel much more awake.

Looking at Song Zhi who was walking happily in front with three little ones, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Song Zhi bought the firecrackers at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday.

As soon as they got downstairs, many people came down from other floors, all holding firecrackers and fireworks in their hands.

After a while, crackling sounds began to appear everywhere.

The children cheered and played in the yard, and the adults gathered together to talk and laugh.

The three little guys had just arrived and were not familiar with the other children, so they kept following Song Zhi. Song Zhi took them to set off a lot of firecrackers.

The three little guys were very scared at first.

"Don't be afraid. Take this incense stick and light them from a distance so they don't explode on you."

Song Zhi taught them patiently and prepared a lit incense stick for each of them.

Of course, it would be more fun to set off firecrackers if they set them off themselves.

After watching Song Zhi demonstrate it to them several times, the three little guys felt itchy. Although they were afraid, they still plucked up the courage and stretched out their arms to light it.

The next second, firecrackers exploded, scaring the three people so much that they ran away.

Song Zhi and Ran Qiu stood aside and watched, amused by their funny appearance.

However, after lighting the fire once, the three people were not so scared anymore and became braver and braver.

In a short while, all the firecrackers that Song Zhi bought were set off.

Song Zhi led them to set off some fireworks.

Watching the dazzling fireworks explode in the sky, lighting up the entire sky, the three little guys ran around and cheered under the fireworks.

"It's so beautiful! It really looks like a flower!"

Song Zhi was infected by the emotions of the three little guys, and her smile became brighter.

She turned around and looked at Ran Qiu, who had a flat reaction, and asked.

"Does it look good?"

Ran Qiu looked at her steadily, watching the fireworks bloom in her eyes, and he answered softly.

"nice."

Song Zhi curled her lips and muttered something.

"It looks good, but your reaction is still so calm?"

But Ran Qiu seemed not to hear this.

It had just snowed during the day and the wind was very cold at night. After standing in the snow for a while, Song Zhi felt his hands and feet were frozen.

She rubbed her hands tremblingly and called over the little ones who were still running around.

Feeling their hands, they were as cold as ice, she quickly pulled them upstairs.

"Let's go home. Stop playing. Your hands are so cold. Don't catch a cold!"

The three little guys laughed innocently.

"It's not cold."

Song Zhi tapped their foreheads in annoyance, felt their little faces were cold, and scolded them: "You are almost frozen into ice, and you still say you are not cold."

The three little guys didn't get angry when she scolded them, they just smiled foolishly.

Song Zhi looked at their silly looks and couldn't help but think.

Could it be that everyone has been frozen silly?

She quickly took the man home.

When Zhu Xiaoqin saw them come back, she saw that their hands were all frozen red, so she quickly brought them a basin of hot water.

"Come here quickly and soak your hands, don't get frostbitten."

Song Zhi pulled the three little guys over and let them soak their hands first before putting his own hands in.

The warm water instantly wrapped around her hands, making them feel numb.

After soaking for a while, Song Zhi finally felt that his hands had regained feeling.

"Ran Qiu, hurry up and make some bubbles too."

She turned around and saw Ran Qiu still standing behind her, so she quickly made room for him.

As soon as they warmed up, Tang Junhe came to visit.

Everyone sat together on the sofa.

"It's boring to just sit here, why don't we play mahjong?"

Song Anshan looked at the young people sitting next to him and suddenly made a suggestion.

"Is there mahjong at home?"

Song Zhi asked.

She hadn't played mahjong for a long time, and she was indeed feeling a little itchy.

"Yes." Song Anshan nodded and gestured to Lin Wanru.

Lin Wanru, who was eating melon seeds, got up reluctantly, cleaned up the table, and took out a mahjong set from the house.

Song Anshan went to the study, put on a pair of glasses, and came back to invite Song Zhi and others to play mahjong.

"Come and sit down, there are just four of us."

Song Zhi led Tang Junhe and Ran Qiu there.

Song Anshan looked at the young people happily. Seeing that Ran Qiu was a little restrained, he asked another question.

"Can Ran Qiu play?"

Ran Qiu shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“I’ve never played it before.”

He had never touched mahjong before and really didn't know how to play it.

"How about I make room for Auntie and the others and let them come?"

As he said this, he was about to stand up.

But before he could stand up, Song Zhi pushed him back down.

"Let me teach you. This thing is very simple. You're so smart, you'll definitely be able to do it after a few tries!"

Song Zhi volunteered.

She didn't want to play mahjong with Lin Wanru.

Zhu Xiaoqin had to take care of several children, so she naturally had no time to sit at the table.

Ran Qiu had no choice but to sit down again. Seeing that they were all in high spirits, he had no choice but to play with them.
