Plates of food were placed on the table. Those who liked spicy food sat alone on one side. A small hot pot stove was placed in the middle, symbolizing a prosperous new year.
A steamed fish placed on the table symbolizes abundance every year.
Red date rice cake symbolizes getting taller every year.
Every dish on reunion night has its own unique characteristics.
On TV, the Spring Festival Gala started on time.
Those who can drink drink, while Xiaohongdou, Xiaochengzi and Ye Xuelan who can't drink drink obediently drink orange juice.
This was also the first time in Captain Fu's life that he had celebrated such a lively Spring Festival. He made full use of his talent for socializing, saying auspicious words and toasting his elders with one cup after another.
The wine everyone drank was sorghum wine brewed locally in Jiameng Town.
The wine has a mellow aroma and delicious taste.
Even Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning drank a little.
Although food cools down quickly in winter.
But because of hot pot, no one is afraid anymore.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, several men rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning the kitchen and dishes without being told.
Little Hongdou nestled in Tang Tang's arms, drowsy.
According to the old custom, we will stay up tonight to celebrate the New Year.
Grandma Ye, Qiao Nian, Tang Tang, and Hua Wuxia started playing mahjong.
Grandpa Ye, Ye Yunkai, Ye Wusheng and Pei Xuesong played the local long card game.
Captain Fu and Xie Xuning didn't know how to play, so they sat behind one of their own people, along with Shi Han and Shi Desheng, and watched how the long cards were played.
Ye Linlang took Xiao Jinli and Xiao Hongdou to listen to the Spring Festival Gala.
The countdown to the New Year has begun.
Ye Wusheng and Ye Yunkai also finished playing cards. They swiftly took Ye Guojin and Xie Xuning to move boxes of fireworks to the open space in the yard.
At the same time, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another throughout Jiameng Town!
Ye Guojin held Xiao Hongdou and used a burning piece of firewood to light the fuse on the fireworks box.
With a "bang", fireworks soared into the sky.
One after another, gorgeous fireworks bloom quietly in the night sky.
In Jiameng Town, those who were originally preparing to take a nap saw the fireworks in the Ye family courtyard, called their families, and admired these beautiful fireworks in the cold night wind.
On TV, the New Year’s bell rang.
The new year is here!
After the fireworks ended, everyone went home to rest.
The first day of the first lunar month.
Ye Linlang was also awakened by the bursts of firecrackers.
In the kitchen, the wrapped red bean paste dumplings, peanut dumplings and brown sugar dumplings are being cooked.
There is a fried egg in everyone’s bowl!
As soon as Ye Linlang saw Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye, she called out sweetly, "Grandpa and Grandma, Happy New Year, and may you be prosperous!"
Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye both smiled so beautifully.
After everyone has eaten the dumplings, it is the younger generation’s turn to wish the elders a happy new year.
Shi Desheng is Grandpa Ye’s biological brother, and the two brothers Ye Yunkai also wished Shi Desheng a happy new year first.
After the two brothers Ye Yunkai and Ye Wusheng bowed, they kowtowed deeply.
Considering that Ye Xuelan was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to kowtow, she and Qiao Nian only bowed to Shi Desheng.
Shi Han had already handed the prepared red envelope to Shi Desheng. It was also the first time that Shi Desheng gave a red envelope to his nephew.
Next came Ye Guojin, Tang Tang and Xiao Hongdou.
Next came Ye Linlang and the little koi.
On Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye's side, everyone followed the same process and wished them a happy new year.
Ye Linlang finally wished a happy new year to her master Hua Wuxia and her master's uncle Pei Xuesong.
