After Yao Jinnian and the others came back, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready. The children almost drooled at the sight of the food.

Adults are more reserved after all, but the eagerness in their eyes is real, and they can't wait to get to the table and start eating.

Because there were so many people, we set up two tables, one for the children and one for the adults. Both were round tables, so that everyone could eat whatever they wanted and nothing would be missed.

Chu Yao and the others cooked sixteen dishes, but because there were so many people and many children, they were afraid that it wouldn't be enough.

There were ten meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, two cold dishes, a soup, and French fries and potato chips for the children.

A Zhao and the others stood in the hall very sensibly, waiting for the adults in the family to come.

"Uncle Nian, Mom and Dad, please hurry up and get to the table. If you're late, the food will get cold."

"Okay, okay, thank you all for your hard work. This year's New Year's Eve dinner is really sumptuous."

"Yes, today's New Year's Eve dinner can be considered a new beginning."

"Come, let's get drunk tonight. I hope that next year we can go one step further than last year, and each year will be better than the last."

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't wait to start tasting the food.

Although the adults were very eager, they still ate politely. They did not eat rashly or stir the food with their chopsticks.

Yes, the family traditions of the Chu and Yang families are still good, and they have been eating from the same pot for so long, they will not do anything annoying.

During the meal, occasional words were exchanged, and everyone was happily discussing what had happened in the past year, which was also a form of alternative reflection.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted nearly three hours.

After dinner, Yang Hang and the others helped to clean up the mess. Yao Jinnian, Chu Sheng and Yang Zheng took out the chessboard and planned to play chess for fun.

The follow-up work in the kitchen was handed over to Yang Hang, Chu Heng and Yang Ming.

Fu Fu and Le Le were playing with the flower rope. Ah Zhao felt that he was an adult, so he nestled in Chu Yao's arms and listened to his grandma and grandma chatting.

A Zhang and A Xuan played together with toys that Yang Hang bought from the south. They were green frogs that would make a "wa wah wah" sound when you pressed their butts.

The twins are very interested in this toy and they don’t get tired of playing with it even after playing for such a long time.

A Zhang just likes to play, while A Xuan is more curious. He is wondering why the frog croaks, which makes him very interested.

Yang Hang, Chu Heng and Yang Ming quickly cleaned up the kitchen and brought some melon seeds and peanuts and placed them on the table in the hall.

Aunt Zhao also went back during the Chinese New Year. She would go back every year at this time to be with her family, even if it was just to be with a few small piles of earth.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, firecrackers were occasionally heard, and everyone realized that it was already midnight, which also meant the beginning of the new year.

Yang Hang went to the yard, set off a few strings of firecrackers as a token of his appreciation, and then took the little ones to rest.

After arranging the little ones to sleep, Yang Hang came out again to listen to everyone's conversation.

Uncle Yao and the others were still playing chess, Chu Yao was chatting with her two mothers and sisters-in-law. After Yang Hang took a look, he went to find his brother and uncle-in-law accurately.

There was laughter and joy in the hall, and the atmosphere was always good.

At three o'clock in the morning, Yao Jinnian was the first to give up. His body had been severely damaged before. Although Chu Yao had tried her best to adjust his diet, he still couldn't stay up too late.

"Ayao, you young people come and play together. We are old and can't hold on any longer. My two brothers and I are going to have a rest." Yao Jinnian said to the others in the hall.

"Yes, you young people, if you want to play, play for a while. If you don't want to play anymore, go back and rest. Tomorrow is the beginning of the new year, remember to get up early." Yang Zheng continued, "Lao Yao, Lao Chu, let's go first."

In an instant, the only people left in the hall were Yang Ming and his wife, Chu Heng and his wife, and Yang Hang and his wife.

"Brother, do you want to continue chatting?" Chu Yao looked at her elder brother Chu Heng.

"Let's not do that. Uncle said we have to get up early tomorrow, so we should go to bed early."

"Okay, let's go back to the room then."

Chu Yao's stomach was still full at this moment because she had cracked too many melon seeds while listening to her two mothers and sister-in-law gossiping. She felt a little thirsty after cracking too many melon seeds, so she drank a lot of water and soda that cost fifty cents a bottle outside.

"Ahang, I'm still a little full, you go to sleep first."

"As for you, eating too many melon seeds is not good for you. It can easily cause you to get irritated. Be careful not to get pimples when you wake up tomorrow morning. Then you will cry again." Yang Hang said helplessly to Chu Yao.

"Don't scare me. I don't get acne. Besides, I'm naturally beautiful, so a few pimples won't affect my looks at all. But Ah Hang, why do I notice you have wrinkles?"

Chu Yao came closer to Yang Hang to take a look. Not to mention that there were really no wrinkles, she was trying to scare Yang Hang.

Yang Hang was unmoved and said, "Ayao, just make fun of me. How can I have wrinkles when I'm less than 30 years old?" As he said that, he grabbed Chu Yao into his arms and held her to prevent her from moving.

One hand was still rubbing Chu Yao's belly to make her feel better.

"Hmph, you really have no sense of humor at all. Can't you just cooperate with my performance?" Chu Yao said angrily.

"Okay, okay, next time I will definitely cooperate with A Yao's performance, okay?"

"That's more like it. By the way, Ah Hang, how are your work arrangements going?"

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. I'll be waiting to report after the Chinese New Year. From now on, our family will be together, and Ayao won't be so tired."

I'll take care of everything from now on, Yang Hang said silently in his heart.

Yang Hang was still talking, but Chu Yao gradually became silent. It turned out that Chu Yao fell asleep unknowingly while listening to Yang Hang's words.

Yang Hang smiled, kissed Chu Yao on the forehead, and closed his eyes.

Chu Yao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. She was sleeping so soundly that she was startled by the sound of firecrackers.

When Chu Yao packed up and went out, she found that she was the last one to wake up in the family, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Of course, except for the little boy Chu Ran.

Chu Yao looked at her watch and it was already eight o'clock.

She quickly packed the red envelope she had prepared and entered the hall.

The family in the hall had already started eating breakfast and had already left breakfast for Chu Yao.

After breakfast, Chu Yao took out some fruit candies, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks to entertain other children who would come to pay New Year's greetings.

What Chu Yao's family prepared were things that many families could not afford.

But it’s the New Year, so just have fun.
