This time, the "Clean Plate" campaign was implemented thoroughly.

Everyone was so stretched that they couldn't even sit up straight.

Yi Qingqing and Li Mengxue both stretched their legs straight, with their bellies sticking out, leaning against the wall behind them.

Although Yun Guyuan didn't sit as awkwardly as them, he also stretched out his legs.

Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan's legs each occupied the space under the kang table.

The others also moved to the wall and lay down in various positions. Fortunately, the kang was long enough and Li Mengxue had specially moved the box beforehand, otherwise it might not have been able to withstand their "performance".

"Burp~ You guys ate too fast, so I didn't even have time to savor the taste!" Li Mengxue complained while touching her stomach.

"Don't blame it all on us. I remember you were pretty fast at taking action!" Qian Lailai's eyes were dull, but his brain was still working. He would not be fooled by her!

"The last piece of potato is so delicious!" Wang Lingling had to emphasize it again.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

She kept her mouth tightly shut and said nothing.

Hold it for a while, hold it for a while longer, and you won’t hiccup anymore!

Section 117

Soon Li Mengxue noticed something was wrong and turned to look at her: "Qingqing, why don't you speak?"

Yi Qingqing: "..."

I'm holding my breath, please don't disturb me!

But she didn't respond, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Mengxue stood up, ready to attack her body and force her to speak.

Before Yi Qingqing was about to fail, Yun Guyuan suddenly spoke up: "She is holding her breath."

"???"

Li Mengxue and the others were full of questions. What was the point of holding back? Was this some new game? They also wanted to join.

"Puff~ Haha~"

Yi Qingqing was shocked when she accidentally saw Li Mengxue's psychological activities in the golden book. She couldn't help laughing out loud. She had been holding it in for a long time, but it was in vain!

"Holding your breath can prevent hiccups...hiccups~" Yi Qingqing laughed before explaining to Li Mengxue and the others.

After saying that, he covered his mouth again and continued to hold his breath.

This is a folk remedy her mother taught her. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, Yi Qingqing thinks it's because she's not holding it in properly.

When I was cooking and eating with Yun Guyuan before, I also burped while eating. This is how it was done, so Yun Guyuan knew it so clearly.

Then suddenly no one said anything.

There was silence, and everyone held their breath. After a while, they could not hold it anymore and gasped heavily one after another.

Some people succeed, some people fail.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Half a day passed in laughter.

Then I started preparing dumplings for the afternoon.

Everyone knows how to roll out the dough, so everyone works together to roll out the dumpling skins, and then sits on the kang to make them.

Li Mengxue took out seven one-cent coins that were left over from shopping and wrapped them inside the dumplings.

This is the highlight of today’s dumpling banquet.

After the dumplings are cooked, they are distributed by Yi Qingqing, a professional rice server.

This is a team with a strong desire to win, so they competed secretly for the prize and worked hard.

But this time the dumplings are in everyone's bowl, so you can savor them slowly. The key is that there are seven hard treasures buried in the dumplings, and if you eat too fast you might break your teeth.

Qian Lailai is worthy of his surname “Qian”, he has an extraordinary fortune-making attribute and was the first one to eat the dumpling with money wrapped in it.

There are only seven prizes in total, but not everyone can get one, so it all depends on luck.

When Qian Lailai eats the second one, it means that someone will leave empty-handed today.

But money is secondary. The main thing is to have fun. No one wants to be an unlucky person who doesn't even win the prize.

In the end, Qian Lailai and Yun Guyuan got two and became today's grand prize winners. Zheng Xiaolong and Chen Zhihe were in a bad situation. The others at least got one each. But the two of them, two brothers in distress, didn't get any prize. What's worse, they had to endure the merciless ridicule of others.

But it also brings a lot of happiness to others. After all, a lot of happiness comes from comparison.

On this day, Yi Qingqing and the other seven stayed in the house.

Apart from cooking, people would lie down to digest food, then cook again, and then digest food again. There were no special entertainment activities. Compared with the many novel entertainment options in the New Year in later generations, it can be said to be simple and poor. Only food was considered abundant in this era.

But today the smile on everyone's face never faded.

Li Mengxue even felt that this New Year was more lively and interesting than any other New Year in her previous life, and her face was wrinkled from smiling.

Although there is no mobile phone, it doesn’t seem boring at all.

There is also a sense of anticipation that I have never experienced before. Even though today hasn’t even passed yet, I’m already looking forward to the time when we will all get together next New Year.

In my previous life, the food was better and there were more things to play with during the Chinese New Year, but the New Year became less and less interesting.

It was the first time she felt the Chinese New Year was so interesting.

In fact, what is interesting is not the New Year, but the feeling of getting together and chatting. However, later on, more people are used to playing with their mobile phones to pass the time instead of chatting and playing with relatives and friends.

After eating dumplings, today’s main meal is over, and next is the New Year’s Eve.

At night, candles were lit in the house. People who wore watches took off their watches and placed them on the kang table. Then everyone ate melon seeds and chatted while waiting for midnight to arrive.

It's rare for others to be still awake so late, and they are a little exhausted now. Only Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan, who have amazing sleep quality, and Li Mengxue, a real night owl, are still alert and staring at the time.

"Hurry, hurry! One minute left!"

Li Mengxue saw that there was only one tick left on the minute hand and the second hand was starting to make its last circle, so she immediately announced loudly.

The drowsy people were suddenly awakened by a start.

Seven pairs of eyes were staring at the dial, counting down together.

"...9, 8, 7...4-3-2-1!!!"

"Happy New Year!"

“Happy New Year!”

"May you be happy and prosperous!"

"Forget about the red envelope, hahaha!"

…

After some mutual congratulations, everyone perked up a little. Li Mengxue picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for each of them.

"Come, let's drink water instead of wine and toast to our friendship!"

"cheers!"

"Long live friendship!"

…

This moment was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present, and everyone would smile knowingly when they recalled it many years later.

The hard work and difficulties of life in the countryside faded away at such moments, and became more beautiful.
