We all eat the New Year’s Eve dinner at home. Although there is an old lady around, everyone is used to eating at home and just takes some meat and vegetables to give to the old lady.

At the dinner table, Guo Youxing said a few words, saying that the family had a new baby and that things were getting better and better, and urged the students to study hard and find a good job in the future.

Later, Guo Youxing saw that everyone was focused on the food and had no interest in listening to him, so he just said let's eat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jianjun took the lead and picked up a piece of cured pig's head skin, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said incoherently, "Hmm, it's delicious and chewy."

Guo Youxing also took a piece to taste it. "It's really good, with a unique smoky aroma. It's fat but not greasy, and chewy. It's perfect for drinking. Ah Jun, go to my room and fill half a bowl of jujube wine."

After hearing this, Guo Jianjun put another piece of bacon into his mouth and responded, "Okay, I'll get it right away." Then he took a bowl and ran to pour wine.

"Wine is coming"

Guo Jianjun placed the wine in front of Guo Youxing, licked his lips and said, "Dad, can I drink? I'm already this old, and I've never had a drink before."

"Okay, I'll give you a try." Guo Youxing saw that it was New Year's Eve and there were such delicious dishes, so he let him have a sip of wine.

Guo Youxing poured a little wine for each of his two sons and kept most of it for himself.

"It's so spicy, and a little bit sweet." Guo Jianjun picked up the bowl and drank it in one breath. It was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue like a big dog.

"You deserve it. You drank it all in one gulp even though you knew you had never drunk any alcohol." Liang Xueying didn't know what to say to him when she saw him like this.

"Hehe" Guo Jianjun touched his hair a little embarrassedly.

Liang Xueying picked up a piece of fish and sighed, "I didn't know that sauerkraut could be cooked with fish in previous years. It's so delicious..."

"Delicious!" Guo Yu agreed, his little mouth stuffed with meat, bulging like a little hamster.

Guo Jianping was drinking with his father while picking up fish for Deng Qingling. There was some tenderness in his eyes when he looked at her. "Wife, eat slowly."

Deng Qingling heard what Guo Jianping said, looked up and met Guo Jianping's eyes, she was a little bit at a loss for a moment, and said softly

"Well, you don't have to give it to me, I can do it myself. You should eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Guo Jianping responded "OK".

Here, not everyone has to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. Someone at home can stay up past midnight and then set off firecrackers. All houses must also light candles to welcome the New Year.

Lighting candles all night long on New Year's Eve is called "lighting up the waste". It is said that lighting up the waste will make the family rich in the coming year.

Staying up late during the Chinese New Year has never been Deng Qingling's strong point. She never stayed up late before, and this year is no exception. She became even more sleepy after becoming pregnant.

After dinner, after sitting for more than an hour, Guo Jianping discovered that his wife, who was sitting opposite him, had fallen asleep leaning against the wall.

Liang Xueying was talking to the Guo Jianping brothers. She turned her head and saw her daughter-in-law was asleep. She smiled softly and said, "Aqing is asleep. Aping, take her back to the room to sleep."

Guo Jianping nodded, walked over and gently picked up the sleeping person. Before entering the house, he was stopped by his mother, who stuffed two red envelopes into his hands.

“This is red envelope money for you.”

Guo Jianjun was a little sleepy to begin with, but he woke up immediately when he heard about the red envelope money. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Mom, are you going to give out red envelopes?"

"Hahaha, you are such a money-grubber," Liang Xueying laughed.

Guo Jianping smiled at his brother and carried Deng Qingling into the house. Behind him, Guo Jianjun also received the red envelope money and laughed.

Guo Jianping gently put her on the bed, pulled up the quilt and covered her carefully. Looking at the woman's peaceful sleeping face, Guo Jianping left quietly.

When I returned to the hall, my brother was no longer there. After Liang Xueying gave him some red envelope money, he went back to his room to sleep.

The mother and son sat by the brazier. Seeing his mother's tired look, Guo Jianping said, "Mom, go back to sleep first. I'll wait here."

"I'm not sleepy yet. Let's wait together. You don't have to be so bored alone," Liang Xueying said softly.

"Good" Guo Jianping

Time passed by unknowingly, and soon it was twelve o'clock. The sound of firecrackers was heard outside, which was particularly obvious in the quiet night.
