By the time Wang Li finished her work, the water in the kitchen had already boiled and the dumplings were put in. There were a lot of dumplings made today, so the leftovers would be enough for tomorrow morning. So she asked them to make more tomorrow and take them back to eat.
After dinner, we wash everything that needs to be washed together. On the first day of the New Year, we cannot wash or sweep the floor. If we violate this rule, the whole day will be unlucky. These are the customs left by the older generation.
Wang Minghao's friends sent him a lot of fireworks. He usually doesn't smoke, so Wang Li found some cigarettes from the space and asked him to light them and use the cigarettes to light the fuse.
Wang Minghao was very happy to let it go, Wang Li was happy watching him, Cuiyun and Sanniu's wife were sad watching him, thinking that so much money would be wasted, what a pity, the two of them murmured quietly.
Wang Li looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky. She hadn't set off fireworks since no one watched at her home. In the past, she always set off two big cannons. At her son's house, they didn't allow fireworks, so she hadn't seen them for many days. It was worth it to watch fireworks this time in her life.
After setting off the fireworks, the four of them played poker together.
Wang Li suggested winning money and said one dollar at first, but the two old ladies had no money and didn't want to play. Wang Li gave each of them eighty dollars and asked them to have fun with her.
Sanniu's wife was reluctant to spend money, so she suggested that whoever loses should have a note put on his face. Wang Li didn't object. After all, it was for fun, and money didn't matter. She had a good life in this life. Although she had to flee famine after traveling through time and still lived in a cowshed when she was old, it was worth it to have someone like this who loved and cared for her when she was old.
After playing for a while, Wang Minghao looked at the watch. It was already ten o'clock. He saw that the other two people had their faces covered with red paper, so he also pasted two pieces on himself, but his wife did not.
"Now we don't want to play anymore, let's fire the cannon to take the gods home."
Wang Minghao put down the poker in his hand, Cuiyun and Sanniu's family got up to clean up, and Wang Li brought out the melon seeds, peanuts and candies, and ate while watching Wang Minghao set off firecrackers.
The two old sisters looked at Wang Li and smiled and said, "We are lucky to have met you in this life. If it weren't for you, we don't know if we could have survived the famine. It's worth knowing you in this life."
After the holiday, Wang Li gave each of her two older sisters two thousand yuan and some food, and asked Wang Minghao to send them back one by one.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Wang Li felt that she was about to leave, so she pulled Wang Minghao to make arrangements, saying, "Give the house to Shuya, the child will help you, you have to remember to eat by yourself, don't ask others to come over, I want to leave quietly."
Wang Minghao cried heartbreakingly, "No, I don't want you to leave me."
Wang Li couldn't bear to leave, so she closed her eyes.
Wang Minghao sat there for a long time before he started calling relatives and friends. He felt dizzy and couldn't stand up. He finally got up and went to bed, lying next to his wife. He put the passbook key from the bedside drawer on the bed.
When Shuya was with her parents, he had already closed his eyes.

The author has something to say:
This is the end of this article.
I won’t write the sequel because this is my first book and I’m not very satisfied with the writing of it.
I actually love writing and reading. They not only leave behind words, but also leave traces of one's presence.
Thank you to everyone who has been with me all the time. Your encouragement is my motivation to write books. I will write the next book with all my heart.
See you in the next book.
