During the Lunar New Year, Chengcai's wish was fulfilled at noon, and in the evening, the dishes were ordered by these children, along with many of the things that Jianjun and I liked to eat.
Before midnight, Jianjun and Tingting packed a lot of dumplings made from two kinds of dough, and also packed some inconspicuous meat and vegetable dishes for Chengcai and Youcai to deliver to the three grandfathers in the cowshed.
"Grandpas, are you there? It's me, Chengcai."
"Is this Cheng Cai? He's here to see the three old folks during the New Year."
"It really is you two. It can't be anyone else who came to visit us old folks for the New Year," Lin Jianhui said with emotion.
"Grandpa, it's Chinese New Year today. My aunt made dumplings and asked me to bring them to you. May our family have a happy New Year."
"Okay, okay, okay, please thank your aunt and uncle for us. We're all fine here, don't worry."
“We’ll keep you company, you two go quickly,” Hao Licheng urged the two children.
"Grandpa, we're leaving now. I hope we can celebrate the New Year together someday," Cheng Cai said, reluctant to part.
"Okay, that day will come eventually. Don't worry, child. Go back now and don't let your aunt worry."
After the two children left, the three elderly people took their things back into the house. Looking at the fragrant dumplings, which were all meat dishes, they felt a pang of sadness during the New Year.
"Alright, let's eat quickly. There are so many dumplings, enough for us to eat for three days. Jianjun's family is really capable."
Before Old Su could finish speaking, Old Lin took a bite of the dumpling. It was full of meat, which was really satisfying.
"We can still eat dumplings here, and they're all meat. I really don't know whether to feel more happy or sad."
"Old Hao, don't think about those things during the New Year. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. In this weather, it will get cold if you don't eat it soon. Eat quickly."
Jianjun also sent a lot of dumplings to his mother and brother. As expected, his parents spent the New Year with his older brother.
Liang Tiantian is very happy now. After all, she is pregnant now, and Qin Youfu does all the work at home and outside. She doesn't have to worry about anything, and she has also gained a lot of weight.
Qin Yecai also lived with her whole family. Qin Yecai was quite remarkable. Ever since Liu Mazi married her, the family had never run out of meat.
The food at this family has always been very good, but after what happened in the village last time, Qin Shumiao has become increasingly silent. Qin Yecai has no way to comfort her; she has to figure this out herself.
Tingting prepared the meal, and Chengcai and Youcai were also very excited. This was the first year they had such a sumptuous meal, and they were both looking forward to it.
At the dinner table, Tingting and Jianjun gave each of the children a lot of candy.
We usually worry that too much sugar will hurt the children's teeth, so we only give them candy if they get very good grades on exams.
"Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Auntie. These children are all smiling. There's a lot of candy here."
"Today is a wonderful day for the Lunar New Year. Our family has seven children, and it's a year of family reunion. I hope that in the days to come, everything will go smoothly and peacefully for us."
After Tingting finished speaking to the children, she saw Chengcai get up.
"Auntie, Uncle, and my brothers and sisters, this is the happiest New Year I've ever had. In the past, I always spent the New Year alone with my younger brother, but now I finally have my own family."
"I am very content and happy. I hope our family can always be together. Happy New Year."
Happy New Year, brother.
"Happy New Year," the crowd echoed.
