Chapter 94 New Year's Eve.

In the afternoon, Tangyuan was sleeping soundly. He Susu used pillows and quilts to block the area around the bed, for fear that the child would turn over and fall to the ground in his sleep.

She went out of the room to boil some water, and Cheng's father and mother woke up one after another.

"Dad and Mom, have a drink of water."

"Okay, thank you."

Father and Mother Cheng took the half-cup of water and drank it. Mother Cheng said, "Susu, your father and I will go out for a walk and take a look at the environment in your family compound."

He Susu nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of the dumplings at home and won't go out with you, Dad and Mom."

Father Cheng: "It's okay, let's just take a walk around here."

After seeing her parents-in-law off, He Susu returned to the living room and sat for a while. She was in the mood to get some tea leaves to make some tea.

When Tangyuan wakes up, I take him to the living room to look at the pictures in the drawing book I redeemed from the shopping system, and tell him stories based on the contents of the book. This is part of parent-child education.

Tangyuan was quite interested in this and could sit still, poking his finger on the drawing book, trying hard to match the little animals on the picture with what his mother said. He had some difficulties at the beginning, but it got much better later.

When he got tired of reading, he would take Tangyuan for a walk in the yard, and He Susu would take him back to the living room to play.

When Cheng's father and mother came back, Tangyuan raised his head when he heard the noise and was already able to call out skillfully, "Grandma, Grandma!"

"Hey, Tangyuan is so good!"

Cheng's father and mother responded with a smile. They really wanted to go up and hug him, but they were worried that he was still cold from just coming back from outside and would chill Tangyuan, so they could only talk to him from a distance.

He Susu had just walked into the kitchen and brought out a thermos of hot water for making tea. She also brought out two new teacups: "Dad and Mom, you're back. Come sit down for a while."

Mother Cheng sat down and said, "I'm back. This family compound is really big. Your father and I walked from the first family compound to the fifth family compound. We also saw the elementary school and military hospital on the side of the army. We also saw the private plot and the canteen. It's really well-equipped."

He Susu smiled and said, "The facilities here are quite complete. They have everything that is needed, and the family members can live comfortably."

Father Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "Only when the families live comfortably can the soldiers concentrate on training to defend the country. For example, the family compound in our factory is now considering finding a new land to build a building. Many young employees cannot be allocated a house, and it is not a solution for some families with more than a dozen people to live together. However, the land is too difficult to find, and there has been no follow-up to building houses, which is also a big problem."

He Susu: "The prices in Shanghai are high, and the land near the factory has long been allocated and used, so it is really difficult to build a new building."

Mother Cheng: "Don't worry about the factory, just let your father worry about it slowly. When we come here, we can relax and spend more time with Tangyuan, right?"

She raised her chin towards Tangyuan in response to her grandson's gaze.

Tang Yuan didn't care whether he understood or not, he just nodded: "Yes!"

Father Cheng couldn't help laughing, and instead of thinking about the problem that had been troubling him for a long time, he joined in playing with his grandson. He had worked hard for most of his life, and it was time for him to enjoy the happiness of family life.

He Susu poured hot water and started to make tea. She poured a cup of tea for her parents-in-law respectively: "Dad and Mom, have some tea."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng each drank a cup of tea. After drinking the hot tea, they felt warm all over, and the slight chill in their bodies seemed to have disappeared.

Mother Cheng was worried, so she went to her room to change her coat, then came out to the living room and sat on the floor to play with Tangyuan.

The floor was covered with a soft and light cotton pad, so there was no need to worry about the cold winter. She smiled and said, "Susu, your cotton pad is very good. The children won't feel cold when they sit on the floor and play."

He Susu smiled: "Yes, I bought it specially to lay it in the living room. The children always want to play on the floor for convenience, but I am afraid that the dumplings will get cold. With this cotton mat, I don't have this worry."

Cheng's mother praised: "You are really thoughtful. I think the things used in making the dumplings are very delicate."

After hearing this, Mr. Cheng also took off his shoes and sat on the cotton mat to play with Tangyuan.

Everyone was killing time in the living room, and the sun soon set. He Susu was about to go to the kitchen to cook dinner, and Cheng's mother followed her in: "Susu, you worked hard at noon, I'll cook dinner tonight, just tell me what you want to cook."

He Susu knew that her mother-in-law was considerate of her, and she was not the kind of person who would do anything without work, so she smiled and said, "Okay, thank you very much, mother. In the evening, we will heat up the braised fish and scallion-roasted chicken left over from lunch, and also take out the fried tofu that we fried earlier, add soy sauce and stir-fry it until fragrant, and then stir-fry the pickled cabbage and pork slices. "

Mother Cheng nodded: "Okay, take it out and I'll cook it."

Cheng's mother cooked dinner, and He Susu shredded the sauerkraut and sliced ​​the pork, and just helped pass things from time to time.

Father Cheng was happily taking care of his grandson outside. He found that Tangyuan was obviously closer to him than his wife, which must be because he played with him more.

When Cheng Shi returned home, he saw a warm room, with hot meals on the dining table. Susu was holding Tangyuan and was about to put him on the dining chair. His parents were also looking at him with smiles, saying, "You're back."

It might be because his parents had returned to the army for the first time, the place where he had been born and died, and his newly settled home. Cheng Shi felt that such days were rare, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm back."

Tang Yuan sat on the dining chair and shouted with a smile: "Dad, come and sit! Eat!"

Cheng Shi agreed with a smile, changed his clothes and went out to eat.

Dinner is the same as lunch, plain but lively. With the addition of glutinous rice balls, it can make people laugh from time to time.

After dinner, Cheng's mother rarely urged her son to wash the dishes. She knew that Cheng Shi must be tired after training in the army during the day. They all came here just to help Cheng Shi and Susu.

So the task of washing dishes in the evening once again fell gloriously on Cheng's father. He agreed with a smile and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Mother Cheng took the opportunity to pick up Tangyuan and chat with him. She said to Cheng Shisusu, "Your father plays with Tangyuan while we are cooking, so Tangyuan is more familiar with him. I have to take advantage of your father's time to wash the dishes and spend time with Tangyuan."

Cheng Shi shook his head in amusement. It was rare to see his parents being so funny.

He Susu smiled and said, "It's okay. You and Dad will stay here for a while. You will get to know Tangyuan sooner or later. This kid gets along with people quickly."

Like now, Tangyuan was not nervous while nestling in grandma's arms. He leaned on her naturally, looked at his parents with round eyes and smiled.

Mother Cheng nodded: "It's better to get familiar with each other. The two of us have never taken care of a grandson, and we are still learning. I hope Tangyuan doesn't dislike us."

Tang Yuan knew how to grasp the words, and after hearing what grandma said, he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't mind, I don't mind."

Mother Cheng couldn't help but lower her head and smiled: "Our Tangyuan is really well-behaved. This child is very clever."

Cheng Shi and He Susu looked at each other and felt that Tang Yuan was being spoiled by his parents during this period of time.

In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng did not go out. They stayed at home to play with their grandson, chat with their son and daughter-in-law, and then wash up.

Fortunately, there is a faucet in the toilet, and taking a shower still requires boiling water and taking it to the toilet. This is similar to the situation in Shanghai, so Cheng's father and mother have no problem adapting.

After washing, she hung the clothes on the bamboo poles in the yard. Because Tangyuan had just been born and needed a lot of diapers to be changed every day, Cheng Shi propped up another bamboo pole. Now, both bamboo poles were used to dry clothes, which looked loose and well-arranged.

Cheng's mother couldn't help but praise: "Your house is still the best. The yard is so big that you can grow vegetables and flowers and dry clothes. It's not like the balcony at home, which is so small that you're afraid of getting the clothes on the ground wet when you dry them."

When you dry clothes in the yard, water drops from the clothes will seep directly into the ground.

Father Cheng nodded and said, "This place is really nice."

In the past, their son always wrote home saying that he was living well in the army, but they both still felt worried, always wondering how good the environment in the army could be. They were afraid that their son and daughter-in-law deliberately said it was good so as not to make them worry.

I stayed here today and took a walk outside, and then I realized how good the environment here is.

This house is no worse than the one in Shanghai.

Cheng's mother recalled what her son had said before, that according to his rank he should not have been able to get a house with a yard, but he was lucky enough to get one.

She had her own logic: "If you ask me, it's Susu who is lucky, and Cheng Shi's luck has improved as well. If Cheng Shi hadn't found such a good partner like Susu and wanted to get married, he wouldn't have applied for a house, and he happened to be assigned a good house with a yard like this for Susu to live comfortably, so Susu deserves the most credit."

Father Cheng smiled and replied, "Their whole family lives here. I've come to see them once and I'm not worried anymore."

Mother Cheng nodded: "I'm not worried anymore."

The two chatted and laughed as they returned to the house, said hello, went into the room and lay down to sleep. I thought it would be a little hard to fall asleep here, but maybe because I was relaxed and fat, I fell asleep in a short while.

In the main room, Tang Yuan fell into a deep sleep after listening to the story. He Susu leaned against the head of the bed and asked him, "You're going to rest tomorrow, right?"

Cheng Shi: "Yes, rest for three days, and then go back to the army for training on the third day of the New Year. Not all soldiers have gone home, so the intensity of the training will not be high when the time comes. Just simple training to maintain the condition."

He Susu smiled and said, "You've been busy all year, and now you can finally take a break."

Cheng Shi smiled and said, "Yes, I will spend three days off to spend time with you, Tangyuan, and my parents."

The couple chatted for a while before lying down to sleep.

The next day was New Year's Eve. Soon after dawn, the family quarters became lively. Many people were walking and talking at the door. Children got candies and ran around, laughing and playing.

He Susu couldn't sleep late. She would wake up after opening her eyes for a while. Thinking that today was New Year's Eve and it was a good day, she forced herself to get up in a good mood.

She changed into her beautiful new winter clothes, put on a beige sweater she had knitted herself, and then put on a sky blue cotton-padded jacket. When she dressed up nicely, she naturally felt better.

Before going out, she did not forget to pull the pillow and quilt to block the edges of the bed, and made sure that Tangyuan was covered with the quilt before going to wash up.

Cheng's father, Cheng's mother and Cheng Shi had already gotten up. Knowing that their daughter-in-law had the habit of getting up late, they had breakfast first.

Seeing that Susu had woken up, Cheng Shi went to the kitchen to heat up the breakfast left in the pot.

He Susu came out after washing up and greeted her parents-in-law with a smile.

Mother Cheng smiled and said, "Good morning, Susu. I've saved breakfast for you, go and eat it. I think the family quarters are quite lively today. We went out for a walk and saw quite a few people. They all had big smiles on their faces. It was quite a New Year atmosphere."

The New Year atmosphere in Shanghai is a bit weaker. Each family in the residential building eats their own food and just greets each other when they meet.

It was more lively on the troop side. In the morning, several women brought some melon seeds and cakes over, saying that they were to bring good luck.

When she asked Cheng, she found out that those women were all good friends of Susu. There is affection between neighbors only when they interact with each other.

He Susu smiled and nodded: "Yes, the family quarters are the busiest on New Year's Eve, but many people have gone back to their hometowns, so there are fewer people than usual."

She said that the most lively New Year's celebrations were in the countryside where her mother's family came from. The adults would go out and visit each other, and a circle of children would follow behind them just to ask for candy. Whenever footsteps were heard, a group of people would pass by, and it would be lively for a while.

She sat at the table, drank water and ate breakfast. Breakfast was rice porridge with shrimp and preserved radish. This time her parents-in-law brought some of her favorite Shanghai specialties, including shrimp and preserved radish.

There are also three cans of milk powder, which are said to be for her to nourish her body. Tangyuan also drinks milk powder once a day, so it is just right for the mother and daughter to drink together.

In addition, she had previously praised the sanitary napkins for their usefulness, but to purchase them in overseas Chinese stores one needed overseas remittance coupons, which were relatively rare.

Cheng's mother always kept this matter in mind and told Cheng's father to exchange overseas remittance coupons with others when he had the chance, and to go to overseas Chinese stores from time to time to buy some sanitary napkins if they were in stock.

Susu didn't need sanitary napkins when she was pregnant, so Cheng's mother said to save them and bring them over this time.

There were more than ten packs, enough for He Susu to use for a long time. She was very happy with the gift and held her mother-in-law's hand and said many words of thanks.

After breakfast, Cheng Shi came over to collect the dishes and wash them.

Hearing Tangyuan's howling in the room, He Susu hurriedly got up and walked into the room: "Is Tangyuan awake?"

Tang Yuan's howling was just thunder and rain, mainly to call his parents to come in. Now that he saw his mother, he immediately stopped crying: "I'm awake, I want a hug."

"Okay, give Tangyuan a hug." He Susu gave her son the first hug after he woke up, then put on a sweater and a coat for him, and changed his pants into padded trousers to prevent the child from getting cold.

She put away the pillows and quilts, and told her son to slide out of bed and wash up. The mother and daughter went to the bathroom, and He Susu took Tangyuan's small towel, soaked it in water, wrung it out, and wiped his face.

Mother Cheng came over and looked at them, nodding her head: "Susu, you are so meticulous in taking care of children. No wonder Tangyuan is so fair."

She had seen too many children with dirty faces and long snotty noses who didn't even wipe them in the family building. She preferred children who were neatly dressed and had clean faces, and her own grandson was the cleanest.

Tang Yuan looked up when he heard the voice and called out sweetly, "Good morning, grandma!"

Cheng's mother was so happy that she kept nodding her head: "Hey, Tangyuan, good morning, you are such a polite child."

He Susu finished wiping her son's face and said with a smile, "These are things we have to do every day. They are not very detailed. The child feels more comfortable when he is cleaner, and we adults feel more comfortable when we see it."

Mother Cheng nodded: "You are right."

He Susu took Tangyuan out of the bathroom. Tangyuan shouted to everyone he saw and greeted his father and grandfather with a smile before his mother carried him to sit on the dining chair.

She went to the kitchen and took out the egg custard from the pot. Tangyuan's breakfast was white rice porridge and egg custard.

Mother Cheng was eager to try: "Susu, how about I feed Tangyuan breakfast?"

After listening to this, He Susu looked at Tang Yuan, who nodded and said generously, "Feed her with milk."

Mother Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll feed you. Just tell me what you want to eat."

She held a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, sat on a chair next to the baby's high chair, and scooped and fed the glutinous rice balls to her.

Cheng's mother had fed her own child before, and Tangyuan was a well-behaved child. He would eat with the spoon by himself and chew vigorously, so he was easy to feed.

Father Cheng couldn't help but walk over from the living room to take a look. He was very curious and asked, "Tangyuan, you are already being fed by milk. Can I feed you lunch at noon?"

Tang Yuan swallowed the egg custard in his mouth, smiled and nodded: "Okay, feed it to me."

Just let others know who will feed you your next meal.

He Susu and Cheng Shi looked at each other and couldn't help but shook their heads with laughter. It seemed that feeding this child was still a popular task. Tang Yuan looked as if he was giving his grandparents an honor, while Cheng's father and mother looked very happy to show their support.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, and the couple will not disturb the interaction between the grandparents and grandchildren.

The morning passed by in a flash. During this time, Cheng Shi made some rice porridge left over from the morning and posted the two red couplets that He Susu had asked Mrs. Wu to buy last time on both sides of the door and the courtyard gate.

Once this red couplet is posted and the auspicious words written on it are seen, the festive atmosphere seems to be even stronger.

Lunch is a simple meal, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is the key of the day.

After waking up from a nap, He Susu followed Cheng's mother to work in the kitchen.

Cheng's mother suggested: "Susu, let's make some mushroom meatballs. The round shape also symbolizes reunion."

He Susu nodded, "Okay, let's make mushroom meatballs, whether fried or used to make soup. In this way, we can have stir-fried dried shrimp, pickled cabbage and pork slices, braised chicken, braised pork belly with bean curd sticks, stir-fried pickled cabbage, and scallop mushroom soup tonight. It's not bad to have six dishes with the meaning of "six sixes are lucky."

Mother Cheng was very satisfied: "These dishes are all very good, let's make them according to what you said, Susu."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to get busy.

The braised pork belly with bean curd takes a long time and must be prepared first. The pork belly is cut into pieces and stir-fried in a pan to release the fat. The bean curd is also fried until crispy and then put into a small pot to simmer. Another stove is used to cook the braised chicken.

Cheng's mother was good with the knife. She took a piece of pork and sliced ​​it and then started to mince it. He Susu was washing the mushrooms in a vegetable basin and soaking them in water for a while. When her mother-in-law had minced the meat until it was gelatinous, she took out the mushrooms and chopped them into minced meat for her.

Mix the mushrooms and minced meat together, add in flour, add some seasoning and start stirring until it is evenly mixed. The seasoning is then ready.

Mother Cheng temporarily put the half-cooked braised chicken on a plate and used the oil she bought from the county town to fill half the pot.

She held a spoon in one hand and grabbed the mushroom and meat stuffing from the basin with the other hand. She clenched her fingers and squeezed it gently, squeezing out a ball of mushroom and meat stuffing from the base of her thumb. She scooped it out with a spoon and put it into the pot. The balls of mushroom and meat stuffing instantly half floated in the oil, sizzling.

Cheng's mother was a man of quick movements. She scooped one out with each hand, and soon a lot of mushroom and meat balls floated in the pot. The meatballs were fried so hard that the skin had turned a little crispy and yellow. She gently pushed and turned them with a spatula, and the fragrance gradually emerged.

He Susu stood aside and watched, praising sincerely: "Mom, your cooking skills are really amazing. The mushroom meatballs you made are also delicious. This is the first time I know this method."

Mother Cheng smiled and said, "I used to make mushroom meatballs during the Chinese New Year. They were fried until fragrant and Cheng Shi loved them. When you came to Shanghai two years ago, I didn't think of it at the time. Otherwise, I should have let you taste the mushroom meatballs a long time ago."

He Susu smiled: "It's not too late now, I'm still standing by and learning your craft."

Cheng's mother: "Okay, now that you've learned how to make it, you can make it anytime you want."

The last pot of mushroom and meat filling was used to fry two pots of mushroom and meatballs. They were hot and crispy, and were served on the dining table right out of the oven for everyone to taste.

Cheng Shi likes this the most. Tangyuan smelled the fragrance and kept asking to come over to the dining table. Naturally, Cheng's father carried him over.

He Susu took out chopsticks and asked them to pick up the food and eat it. They could only eat one mushroom and meatball, so she took a pair of scissors and cut it into small pieces. She put them in the bowl and asked Cheng Shi to pick them up and give them to him.

She also picked up a mushroom meatball and put it in her mouth. It was hot but not burnt. The aroma of the mushrooms mixed with minced meat and fried in oil rushed into her nose. It tasted chewy when she took a bite.

The minced meat is chopped until it is soft and mixed with flour to become smooth, leaving only the granular texture of the mushroom minced meat. It is this granular texture that makes the mushroom meatballs more layered and full of salty fragrance.

He ate the mushrooms and meat pieces of the glutinous rice balls, chewed them with his little baby teeth for a few times, his eyes lit up, and after swallowing, he quickly opened his mouth to indicate that he wanted more.

Cheng Shi picked up another piece and fed him, then started eating the mushroom meatballs himself.

The mushroom meatballs made by my mother still have the familiar taste. The fried skin is a little brown and crispy, and the aroma of mushrooms and meat mixed together inside has a unique flavor. Some juice will overflow when you take a bite, and it is salty and delicious.

It's something you can eat as a snack during the Chinese New Year, one at a time.

Father Cheng also tried a mushroom meatball and praised: "Your mother's cooking skills are still so good, the old taste."

Cheng's mother came out and said, "Hmph, my cooking skills are beyond words. I'll make you guys some fried mushroom meatballs for the New Year."

She also picked up a mushroom meatball with chopsticks and ate it. She was very satisfied with the taste.

He Susu praised sincerely: "Mom, these mushroom meatballs are really delicious and fried very fragrantly. I only knew about steamed meat patties with mushrooms before, and never thought that I could make mushroom meatballs. This time I really learned a lot."

Mother Cheng smiled and said, "That's easy. If you like it, I'll make it a few more times for you."

He Susu smiled and agreed.

After Tangyuan had finished eating the mushrooms and meat balls his father had fed him, there was only one left. He looked at the bowl of mushrooms and meat balls on the table and kept shouting, "Eat more, eat more!"

He Susu didn't want to indulge him and refused directly: "No, you've already eaten one, feel your stomach and see if it's bulging."

Tang Yuan obediently touched his belly, felt it, and shook his head: "It's not bulging."

He Susu continued: "Mom and grandma have made a lot of delicious food in the kitchen. We can have a lot of your favorite meat dishes tonight. Let's save some for later, okay?"

Hearing that there was something delicious, Tang Yuan's eyes lit up. He was a little confused and responded subconsciously: "Okay!"

Mother Cheng quickly took the bowl of mushrooms and meatballs into the kitchen to avoid attracting the attention of her grandson.

He Susu followed into the kitchen and said, "Mom, I think these mushroom meatballs taste good. We can add a few of them to the scallop meat and mushroom soup later to add some flavor."

Mother Cheng nodded: "Your suggestion is good, I will follow your advice."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law continued to work. Six dishes were not too many, but not too few either. It took them more than two hours to prepare this New Year's Eve dinner and serve them on the table one by one.

Cheng Shi also went to get a bowl and chopsticks to serve white rice.

The family sat around the table, steam rising from the food, and smiled at the people sitting next to them. Father Cheng said a few auspicious words and called for the meal to begin.

Everyone was eating enthusiastically and chatting from time to time. Only the little boy Tangyuan was concentrating on eating rice, meat and vegetables.

After dinner, Cheng's father and Cheng Shi went to wash the dishes, while Cheng's mother took He Susu and her grandson to drink tea in the living room. When Cheng Shi and Cheng's father came out after work, the whole family sat around drinking tea and chatting.

Soon He Susu and Cheng's mother went back to their rooms, then returned to the living room and sat down to continue drinking tea.

Cheng's mother took out three red envelopes from her pocket and gave them to Cheng Shi, Su Su and Tang Yuan respectively: "Happy New Year! Your parents are giving you these red envelopes. We hope that you will be healthy, happy and everything will be fine in the new year."

Cheng Shi and He Susu took it with a smile: "Thank you, Dad and Mom."

Tang Yuan followed suit, holding the red envelope and saying to Cheng's father and mother: "Thank you, Dad and Mom!"

Everyone was amused. Cheng's mother asked, "Tangyuan, your parents are there. Have you forgotten what to call us?"

Tang Yuan smiled and showed his little milk teeth: "Grandpa, grandma!"

Mother Cheng guided: "Then how should we say thank you?"

Tang Yuan reacted quickly and changed his words: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!"

Father Cheng and Mother Cheng responded at the same time: "Hey, Tangyuan, you're welcome."

He Susu also took out three red envelopes that she had prepared earlier from her pocket, and handed them to her parents-in-law one by one with both hands: "Mom and Dad, this is a red envelope that Cheng Shi and I give to you as a token of our filial piety. We hope that you two will be healthy and have everything go well in the new year."

Father and Mother Cheng accepted it with a smile and said, "Susu is so thoughtful. I didn't expect that we would receive a red envelope."

Tang Yuan quickly raised his hand: "I want one too!"

He Susu stuffed the remaining red seal into his hand and reached out to touch his little head: "I hope our Tangyuan will grow up happily in the new year!"

Tang Yuan held a red envelope in each hand and said happily: "Grow up happily!"

Everyone laughed for a moment.

Apart from the time for washing up, everyone sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. There is no tradition of staying up all night at home, so everyone goes back to their rooms to sleep when the time comes.

He Susu coaxed Tangyuan, who was already tired but reluctant to sleep, to sleep, and sat on the bedside opening the red envelope. There was a big unity in her red envelope, and the red envelope Tangyuan received was also a big unity. Her parents-in-law were really generous.

However, the red envelope she gave to her parents-in-law also contained a big message of unity.

Cheng Shi sat aside and watched his wife open the red envelope. After she finished, she folded the red envelope and stuffed it under her pillow. He smiled and said, "If you leave it like this, Tangyuan will wake up tomorrow and take it away."

His son loved to roll around on the bed, and nothing could escape his eyes. The red envelopes were very new to him, and if he hadn't fallen asleep, He Susu wouldn't have been able to get into the two red envelopes in his hands.

He Susu smiled: "The red envelope should be placed under the pillow, and it can be opened after the Lantern Festival, so that the dumplings can be found."

She thought of something, stood up, got a pen from the desk, and wrote on the red envelope: Received in New Year 1977.

Smiling, he sat back on the bed and said to Cheng Shi, "Happy New Year, go to sleep!"

Cheng Shi leaned over and kissed her: "Happy New Year, go to sleep."
