I made a lot of dumplings, but of course I can’t eat them all in one meal. It’s freezing outside now, which is like a natural refrigerator.

These dumplings will be breakfast and supper during the Chinese New Year. It is very convenient to cook some when you don’t have time to prepare meals.

In fact, making so many dumplings at one time like their family did was a luxury in that era. Some families with poor conditions might only have one meal of dumplings on New Year's Eve.

But who knows who makes their family are all wage earners. Needless to say, the four elderly people in the family all have pensions, and the parents-in-law can also earn money. In addition, the two of them don't have children now, so the expenses are very low.

The combined monthly salary of the entire family is equivalent to several years' salary for others. They are definitely a high-income family.

However, these dumplings, especially those beautifully shaped and colorful ones she made, can be taken back by the two families when the two sisters-in-law come to visit on the second day of the first lunar month. The children will probably like them.

It was getting later and later, and the elderly people were too old to bear it. Mother Fu was also busy all day and couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to bed early.

There were only two of them in the living room. People here stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. They were young after all and not very tired, so they watched TV and chatted. Time always passed quickly and it was almost 12 o'clock.

Lin Siya went to the kitchen to prepare dumplings, while Fu Sinian went to call his parents and grandparents to get up and eat dumplings.

The dumplings, which are already brightly colored, become even more beautiful and pleasing to the eye after being boiled in water.

The clock was about to point to 12:00 midnight, and everyone gathered together to eat dumplings, preparing to welcome the arrival of 1977.

"Ouch!" Mother Fu bit off an orange-yellow dumpling and hit her teeth. Then she spat out a coin from her mouth.

"Congratulations, Mom. I'm the first one to eat the coin. Looks like I'm going to make a fortune next year!" Lin Siya said congratulations.

"Haha, my luck is so good! I didn't expect to be the first one to eat the money. It looks like I'm really going to get rich next year."

Everyone smiled and congratulated Mother Fu, and then they quickened their pace to eat dumplings, hoping for good luck.

Lin Siya was eating dumplings, hoping that she could eat a coin. Just as she thought of this, she felt like she was biting into something hard.

"I got a coin too!" she shouted excitedly.

Seeing this, Fu Sinian smiled and said, "It seems that our family will have double happiness next year."

The whole family was having a great time. As the New Year's bell rang, crackling sounds were heard outside. Fu Sinian also took a string of firecrackers and went out to set them off. With the sound of firecrackers, the New Year was approaching.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

…

Everyone wished each other well, and Mother Fu took out a red envelope from her pocket and put it into Lin Siya's hand.

"Here, Xiaoya, take it. This is New Year's money."

Lin Siya didn't expect that her mother-in-law would give her New Year's money, but she didn't refuse it. Instead, she accepted it with a smile.

Seeing her daughter-in-law take out the red envelope, Grandma Fu also took out the red envelope she had prepared long ago from her pocket and gave it to Lin Siya. Then, her grandparents' own father-in-law and grandmother each gave her a red envelope. In a short while, her hands were full.

Lin Siya's eyes were almost smiling, and she looked very proud as she held the red envelope. Fu Sinian looked at her and found it funny.

Lin Siya took the red envelope upstairs, and then went downstairs with the things she had prepared long ago.

"Grandpa and grandma, this is the New Year's gift I prepared for you."

"Grandpa and grandma, this is yours."

"And mom and dad, this is yours."

Lin Siya gave everyone the New Year gifts she had prepared long ago. She prepared them secretly, and even Fu Sinian didn't know about it.

The family members were very surprised when they received the New Year gifts, and they were all very happy when they saw what was inside.

They didn't expect that Lin Siya was so thoughtful and even prepared gifts for the whole family.

For the four elderly people in the family, Lin Siya prepared a set of thermal underwear plus a hat, scarf and gloves, all of which were produced by the space.

These thermal underwear are not ordinary thermal underwear. According to the system introduction, they are high-tech things, but they look the same as ordinary thermal underwear on the surface. However, after putting them on, you can feel the difference inside. They seem to be much more effective than ordinary thermal underwear and are also lighter and thinner.

The ones prepared for my parents-in-law are also this kind of high-tech thermal underwear plus a sweater for each of them. My mother-in-law's sweater is red and my father-in-law's is dark blue. Both are thickened styles, which are most suitable for wearing in this winter.

Mother Fu put on the sweater immediately. The bright red sweater made her face look even more rosy.

"It looks good, really good!" Grandma and grandma kept praising it.

Lin Siya handed the last bag to Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang didn't expect that she would also receive a gift. After taking it in her hand, she handed the red envelope she had prepared long ago to Lin Siya.

Lin Siya didn't expect that Aunt Wang would prepare a New Year's red envelope for her. She prepared a New Year's gift for Aunt Wang because she just felt that she was like a family member.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang!"

"Thank you too!" Aunt Wang was also very happy.

After saying goodnight to everyone, everyone went to bed. The main reason was that it was already past 12:00 and I was really sleepy.

Lin Siya followed Fu Sinian back to the room. As soon as she closed the door, she flew into the air.

"Hey, what are you doing?" She was startled and saw a man with a sad face.

"Everyone has a gift, where's mine?"

Seeing the man's pitiful look, Lin Siya burst out laughing, then reached out and rubbed his face hard: "Put me down quickly."

“No!”

"Oh, how can I get you a gift if you don't put me down?"

Seeing this childish man, Lin Siya was helpless.

Upon hearing this, Fu Sinian's eyes lit up.

"Are you really preparing a gift for me?"

"Of course, you are my dear husband. I can forget anyone but you. Close your eyes quickly. You can't open them until I tell you to."

Fu Sinian obediently closed his eyes. Lin Siya took his hand and asked him to sit on the bed, then she turned and went to the bathroom.

When she got to the bathroom, she took out a piece of thin Zen-like clothing from the space. This piece of clothing was what she signed in before. How to say it, when she saw this piece of clothing, Lin Siya's face was full of shyness. She simply couldn't imagine herself wearing this piece of clothing.

However, in order to give Fu Sinian a surprise, she finally suppressed her shyness and changed into the clothes.
