"They're all pretty fat! Hahahaha!"
Everyone was quite happy. "Great! We can have a good meal tomorrow!"
They had gone to the village to exchange for some food, but nothing compares to this meat.
In 1971, the New Year arrived as scheduled.
In the Kang family's courtyard, everyone sat around a large table, on which were various kinds of meat dishes, dried vegetables, and rice. All sorts of fragrant aromas mingled together, making one's mouth water.
As a member of the Kang family and an elder, Xu Wei was the host. She stood up and raised her glass, saying, "Everyone, today is a wonderful day for family reunion. Seeing us all so lively and cheerful, I feel sweeter than if I had eaten honey!"
I wish all the children success in their work and a smooth life, and that we all enjoy peace, health, and abundant blessings in the new year!
Everyone stood up at the same time, raised their glasses, and said, "Alright! Let's have a toast!"
Bai Yajing was also a hostess, and she also said a few words of blessing. At the end, she added with a smile, "This year, I set the following rules: First, you can't say 'no' after receiving a red envelope."
Second, leftovers are not allowed to be kept until next year; everything must be finished tonight!
Everyone clapped and laughed, "Great!"
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's eat it while it's hot!"
The newlyweds were very affectionate at this time, with Qiao Yu serving his wife food and soup the whole time, and Liu Meiling doing the same, which made the elders smile all the time.
The children get along well, which makes them feel especially at ease.
Bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses mingled together in a joyful symphony. Bai Yajing captured this lively scene with her camera.
Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa must miss home a lot. She also plans to take photos of the villagers, especially Bai Bai and the other children, during the Lunar New Year to bring back to the three elders.
Everyone enjoyed a lively and satisfying New Year's Eve dinner.
The two large furry children ran around happily in the yard, and ate their fill thanks to the food given to them by the people.
After dinner, everyone worked together to clean up, and they did it quickly, leaving the yard spotless.
The table was moved into the main hall, and it was replaced with tea and New Year's snacks.
Although we weren't at home, we still had to make it feel like Chinese New Year, with everyone gathering together to chat and stay up late.
After the festive New Year celebrations, Bai Yajing always brought Xu Wei along when visiting villagers to introduce her as her godmother.
It also left behind many precious memories.
Soon it was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and they had to set off back to Kyoto.
Bai Yajing reluctantly sent Da Bai back to the mountains, reminding him before leaving, "Remember what I said, if you get hungry and can't find anything to eat, go down the mountain to the village."
I've already spoken with the villagers, so there will be food for you if you go! I've also prepared your place; feel free to go home if you want.
Big White seemed to realize something, and buried its big head in her arms, whimpering.
Bai Yajing had no choice. If Bai Bai got old in the future, the wolf pack would most likely not keep it. So she renovated her room and left the door unlocked, so that Bai Bai could go home to live out its old age if it wanted.
The villagers will provide her with food. She sends money back to the village every year.
The man and the wolf embraced for a long time before the white wolf turned and went back into the deep mountains.
Bai Yajing didn't descend the mountain until she could no longer see its back.
She didn't notice that a white figure was always following her in the distance, only returning when she reached the foot of the mountain.
Early on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao's parents, Liu's parents, and Bai Yajing and her daughter boarded a tractor to go to the train station amidst the cheers of the crowd.
The village tractors are rarely used to transport people. Today, because there were so many of them that the oxcart couldn't fit them all, the village chief asked Kang Bo to drive the tractor to take them to the train station.
Liu Meiling and Qiao Yu were also on the train; they insisted on seeing people off.
Parting is always sad; everyone's eyes were red and swollen as they boarded the train.
