Finally, seeing the two children drooling with anticipation, Yu Huiru got them bowls and some food, letting them eat first. This would save them space when the adults ate later. With so many people, it would be quite crowded if everyone sat together, so it was better for the children to eat beforehand.
The food was all served and the two little ones were full. Yu Huiru let them get off the table, washed them, and let them play by themselves.
Gu Huayang is already very sensible and knows how to take care of his younger brother. He pulls his brother to sit on the sofa and looks at picture books with him so as not to disturb the adults' meals.
Everyone sat together. The men drank baijiu (Chinese liquor), and the women drank red wine. Liang Jingyun, who was pregnant, couldn't drink alcohol, so orange juice was just right for her.
Seeing that everyone had poured wine and drinks, Han Xiao took the lead in raising his glass and said a few auspicious words. After everyone drank together, they began to eat.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, He Zhendong rubbed his hands together and said, "With so much good food, I'm going to have a big meal."
Yuan Qihua laughed and said, "We're really in for a treat today! We're going to eat our fill of this delicious and plentiful meal."
Han Xiao said, "Today is a joyous occasion, so everyone should be polite and try to finish all the food on this table."
Wen Jinyu added, "That's right, Yuhan prepared all of this carefully, everyone eat more. You young men should eat more meat, there's plenty of meat today."
Such a sumptuous meal only happens once a year. Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content without any formalities.

And so, a lively and joyful New Year's Eve passed by.
