"Hey, Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"
Hey Jianshe, hurry up and invite your younger siblings to sit down. We haven't finished eating yet; we got up late this morning.
"Xiping, hurry up and bring out the melon seeds, candies, and other snacks for Jiancheng and Jiansheng to eat."
Sheng Liancheng and his wife warmly invited Wang Jianshe and his sister into the house and made them sit down.

Wang Jianshe laughed as soon as he saw it. "Alright, Xiping gave it to you. Keep it. I won't tell Mom and Dad later."
With their elder brother's words of comfort, the two girls said, "Thank you, Brother Xiping."
