On New Year’s Eve, the crackling sound of firecrackers in the evening kicked off the Chinese New Year celebrations.
After setting off firecrackers, they ate dumplings. It was not yet completely dark, and on the kang in the east room, a family of three was eating a delicious New Year’s Eve dinner.
The Hua family’s New Year’s Eve dinner is dumplings, and only dumplings, dipped in a sauce made of mustard and aged vinegar.
Of course, it can’t be compared with the New Year’s Eve dinner before I traveled through time. There is no delicious fish and meat, good wine and food, and no expensive fruits.
There were only the simplest dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork.
His face was not white like in later generations, but had some black in it.
The flour is ground in the village mill and has a light wheat aroma.
The fried pork is chopped up and mixed with cabbage as stuffing, it is really delicious.
Hua Youcai and his son drank it one by one, their cheeks bulging.
My daughter finished one dumpling in two bites.
After Hua Yuanyuan got married, she had New Year’s Eve dinner with her father and brother for the first time. The dumplings this year were especially delicious.
After traveling through time, the harmony between her soul and body is amazing.
She could clearly feel the original owner's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
This is very complicated. Her original thoughts and personality are integrated with the original owner's complexities to form a new system.
For example, the original owner had a somewhat dull personality, but she is enthusiastic and cheerful.
Now Hua Yuanyuan is sometimes dull, and sometimes very cheerful...
Anyway, she herself couldn't explain it clearly, it was just very strange.
Many times this body seems to have a mind of its own and is very determined.
It is enough to obey your truest thoughts, live in the present, and live every day well.

On New Year's Eve, a family of three played poker on the warm kang, ate melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and drank tea.
Hua Youcai is really happy, it’s different when she has a daughter at home.
It is not right for a father to do this, but he can't help but think that his daughter is at home and he and his son are living a happy life.
The food my daughter cooks is always delicious.
Even if my daughter doesn't eat with her hands, the food will still taste delicious if she just eats with her mouth.
The taste is just different from what he makes and I can never learn it no matter how hard I try.
"Daughter, how about we find a live-in son-in-law?"
"Hahaha--"
Hua Yuanyuan and Hua Fangfang were so amused by their father that they laughed so hard that they fell down.
"Okay, Dad. Didn't we already agree that you can find your own son-in-law?"
My daughter agreed so readily, and as a father, I felt relieved.
"My daughter, there is a big difference between celebrating the New Year at home and not at home. Isn't it, son?"
"Yeah, sister, there's a big difference. It's boring for two grown men like us when you're not at home."
In just these few days, Hua Fangfang's face has gained weight from the food she has been fed.
"Why is it boring?"
"The dumplings don't smell good, they don't talk, they don't play cards, and dad doesn't smile..."
"You little brat, you're still talking about me, why aren't you laughing?"
…
"Sister, you love to laugh now. You didn't laugh much when you got home before."
"No, I am your sister and I, a widow in the Wang family. I work a lot and I am exhausted every day. It is so hard that I can't even laugh."
"Now, I'm happy! I kicked out the scumbag, and my life will be good from now on. I smile when I'm happy!"
They started talking more and more. Hua Yuanyuan, Hua Youcai and Hua Fangfang, who were all smiling and cheerful, also started smiling and talking more.
Who would have thought that after the divorced daughter came to terms with her feelings, they would live a happy life.
Whenever Hua Youcai thought of this, he would wake up with a smile even when he was asleep.
The Wang family thought that their daughter was dying, so they had a sullen face every day and kept silent, making it impossible for the Hua family to live.
Haha, they are dreaming.
The three members of the Hua family live a sweet life, talking and laughing, discussing things, and having a bright future.
As long as my daughter is happy, let alone growing crops in a greenhouse, even if it's the moon in the sky, as a father I will jump up and down to help her reach it.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after eating dumplings, Hua Youcai went out to visit New Year's greetings, leaving his daughter and son at home.
It’s okay if you don’t know each other. You’ll know each other after paying New Year’s greetings!
He still has to be responsible for the Hua family's diplomatic work, but he can't take care of his daughter because she is too pretty and he is worried about her.
My son is a very taciturn person and he only talks to his family members. Besides, he is still young, a little kid, and his hair hasn't even grown out yet.
The new clothes of the three Hua family members have been worn for several years. They are reluctant to wear them on weekdays and only wear them for a few days during the Chinese New Year every year, so they are basically like new.
It turns out that every household lived like this. Cloth coupons were limited and there was no money.
After the reform and opening up, there were households with an annual income of 10,000 yuan, and the lives of some families improved.
Uncle Wang’s family is a typical example of the village, otherwise his son would not have built a new tiled house and moved to the city.
Red lanterns are hung at the door of every household, and couplets are posted on the door, and everyone is celebrating the New Year with joy.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, some people get up early and make dumplings at three or four o'clock, and they come out in groups to pay New Year's greetings.
In a family, men and women are usually separated, with men leading their children in one group and women in another.
Hua Youcai didn't have to be picky, he just went from house to house. If he met someone he didn't know on the road, he would introduce himself to them, visit them and chat for a few minutes before leaving.
The children were the happiest, with their pockets filled with candies.
…
After Hua Youcai walked around from the southwest corner to the northeast corner of the village, it was already dawn.
On the way back, whenever we met someone, we would ask them to sit with us.
"Uncle, come to my house when you have time."
"Brother Hua, after you've finished your New Year greetings, come to my house for some tea..."
Leaving home and without the help of the three brothers of the Hua family, if there is anything I need help with in this strange village, I have to beg for help without shame.
