Li Yuejin and Weng Shuxu were very satisfied with this scene. When they saw Ning Yu nodding with satisfaction, they were even more satisfied.

As long as the mother-in-law is happy to see her son and daughter-in-law living a good life, there can't be much conflict between the young couple.

Jiang Yankaka started to eat the apple and finished it in just two bites. Maybe she was too hungry and her stomach was feeling sour. She quickly ate a piece of caozi cake to suppress the sour taste in her mouth.

Fortunately, not long after, the father and son of the Si family finally came back. It was snowing outside, and there were a lot of snowflakes on the old man's shoulders.

Ning Yu quickly took a towel, asked the father and son to stand at the door, and brushed off the snowflakes on their bodies.

The Jiang family members also quickly stood up and went over to greet them.

"Oh, my relatives, Happy New Year." Si Qianjin's hand and Jiang Baitao's hand were tightly clasped together.

"Happy New Year! Thank you for your hard work, Chief." Jiang Baitao is a few years younger than Si Qianjin. He admires old heroes like Si Qianjin who have fought in many battles and made great contributions to the motherland.

"You are being too polite. We are a family, no need for polite words."

His eyes fell on Weng Shuxu again, "How is your health, my dear? I think you look good."

Weng Shuxu just said: "Much better, thanks to Yanyan, my old bones are still quite strong."

"Good, as long as you are healthy and the children are all well." Si Qianjin waved his hand, "Come and sit down, everyone."

It’s the New Year, so let’s end this topic here.

"Okay, sit down, make yourself at home, don't be polite." Fortunately, the house is big, otherwise there would not be enough space.

The father and son had been busy outside all day, and when they saw the house so lively, they felt that their fatigue had dissipated a lot.

Si Qianjin is in grief over the loss of his two sons. If his two sons were still alive, his family would be so lively now.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. You must be hungry, right?" Si Guangming apologized quickly. "I'll drink two cups as punishment. Please forgive me, in-laws."

"What are you talking about? It's more fun to eat together."

Jiang Ci is a heartless person, and the way he speaks makes people feel happy. He is a craftsman who always puts academics first. He is a little dull, but he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, which makes him even more precious.

"Yes, that's right. This is just in time. Let's have dinner."

"Okay! Brother, go set off the firecrackers!" Si Zhen went to the kitchen to check around and found a job for Si Lu to do. "It's time for dinner."

At this time, most families have already finished their reunion dinner, so theirs is considered late.

Policies from above are becoming more and more relaxed, and setting off firecrackers is no longer a rare thing.

It is now 1976, and many important events have happened in this year. The 'Fourth Miss' is also about to step down from the embroidery tower.

"it is good."

"Brother-in-law, I'm going too, wait for me."

When he heard about setting off firecrackers, Jiang Chuanjun couldn't sit still. He didn't even put on his hat and ran to the yard with Si Lu.

The firecrackers popped, causing the dogs in other yards to bark.

Only Xiaobai took a calm look, then lay back in his nest and prepared to sleep.

New Year's Eve dinner has no appeal to it.

Jiang Yan often secretly gave it extra meals, all kinds of delicious food, and it didn't miss a meal.

"dinner time."

There were two large tables in the hall, and dishes were brought up one after another, including a braised fish, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, a vegetarian meatball, a dish of mixed cabbage shreds, a plate of fried peanuts, and a dish of spicy tofu.

There were both meat and vegetarian dishes, both cold and hot dishes. This was already a very good New Year's Eve dinner in the 1970s.

The staple foods are rice and rice cakes, which are meant to be a good omen.

Si Guangming also opened a bottle of good wine, "Dad, today is a good day, we should drink something, right? Uncle, can you drink some?"

"I have no problem. Don't be reluctant to part with your Moutai."

Everyone laughed.

"You're willing to marry such a good granddaughter to our family, so why should I be reluctant to give you a bottle of wine? You can have as much as you want. There's more after you finish it! Pour some for Si Lu as well."

Si Qianjin spoke, and Si Guangming poured wine for everyone one by one.

"Dad, let me do it!" Si Lu wanted to take over the job, but he didn't want to do it yet.

"Don't steal my work. I have to show my ability, right? It's been a long year, and it's not easy to have a drink with your father-in-law."

Jiang Chuanjun is not allowed to drink alcohol, and Jiang Chuancheng is still young, so he can only drink soda and sit at the table with the women.

Si Qianjin raised his glass, "Thank you for coming, my in-laws. It's so rare that our two families can get together on such an important day. I hope that the new year will bring new beginnings and that next year will be even better. I was born a cowherd, and I don't know how to make excuses. I just have one idea: China will become stronger and stronger and defeat Da Piaoliang and Xiaozizi."

These words were more encouraging than anything else. Everyone applauded happily and raised their cups.

"cheers."

"Uncle, you don't even know how to throw out a word, this word is so wonderful!"

Everyone laughed and said, "Eat, everyone, pick up your chopsticks."

Jiang Yan has been traveling through time for several years, but this is the first time he has spent such a lively Spring Festival. Although he didn't drink any alcohol, he felt a little drunk.

Anyway, I'm happy and glad.

After the meal, both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves greatly. Even when the Jiang family wanted to leave, Si Qianjin refused.

"The house is big and has plenty of room for us to live in."

"That won't work, in-laws. Although we live in a new society, we still have to follow some old rules. Although the house is rented, we still have to gather people. How can there be no one at home during the New Year?"

This is quite...

"Then let's finish eating the dumplings and leave. The meat filling is ready, so let's make them early. After eating the dumplings, our bodies will be warm, so it won't be too late to leave later."

There was no way. The old man was too enthusiastic. Everyone had to give him some face when he spoke, so everyone in the Jiang family had no choice but to agree.

Making dumplings is a difficult job if done by one person, but it will be quicker if a group of people do it.

Some people couldn't even get a chance to help, such as Jiang Yan, Si Zhen, the old man, Jiang Baitao, and Weng Shuxu. It was not their turn to help, but several large dumplings were already wrapped.

The plump white dumplings are put into the pot, each one is round and looks really pleasing to the eye.

When Si Qianjin saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of the past days.

"At that time, we ate tree bark and grass roots, wore thin clothes and straw sandals, and on New Year's Day, I only wore a torn jacket. The cold wind kept blowing on me. I had no choice but to run to the cowshed, crawl under the cow's belly, and cover myself with straw to warm myself. I couldn't even drink a mouthful of hot dumpling soup, and I didn't dare to imagine the days of eating meat and flour today."

People who have lived through that era all know what life was like and have fallen silent.

"So, we must cherish the good days ahead and never step back into the abyss of the past. A strong country is the foundation of a rich country, and we must let the people live a good life."
