It’s New Year in the Siheyuan. Brother and sister He Yuzhu and He Yushui have a table full of delicious fish and meat, with a bottle of Lianhua Bai placed in the middle.

"Brother, today is New Year's Day, can I drink with you?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You can drink a little, but don't drink too much."

He Yushui nodded, stood up, opened the wine, filled two glasses, and the brother and sister clinked their glasses.

The New Year is originally a day for reunion, and every household is filled with reunion.

In the west wing, there are Qin Huairu's family, Yi Zhonghai's family, and the deaf old lady alone.

The table was full of food that you wouldn’t normally get to eat, but thanks to the cooking skills of auntie Qin Huairu, the taste was acceptable.

"Banggeng, why are you still standing there? Eat quickly." Yi Zhonghai put two chicken legs in a pot of chicken and gave one to the deaf old lady and one to Banggeng.

Enjoy the stick stems.

The sisters Xiaodang and Huaihua looked at Qin Huairu and muttered, "Mom."

Qin Huairu responded with a smile: "Eat, eat."

The two little sisters then picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Jia Zhang wished she could eat all the food on the table.

Yi Zhonghai ate and drank at the same time. Since everyone was happy during the New Year, Qin Huairu also broke the rules and drank a few glasses.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui's family. Ever since Yu Li had eaten the food cooked by He Yuzhu, she had been thinking about it every moment, but she had no reason to go over and eat for free.

There were seven people in the Yan family, but they did not have a sumptuous meal. Instead, they had dumplings with sauerkraut and pork, and sauerkraut accounted for the majority of the dishes. Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li and their spouses were used to it. However, Yan Jiefang kept grumbling and trying not to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Stingy old man, everyone else has plenty of food and fish, even the Jia family."

"That's right. It's finally Chinese New Year, and we're just eating dumplings. If you hadn't said they were sauerkraut pork dumplings, I would have thought they were sauerkraut stewed with noodles."

After the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, Yan Bugui knocked them on the head.

"It's good enough to have something to eat, why are you so picky!"

"Eat well and drink well, but if you don't plan well, you will be poor."

"I'm the only one earning money to support my family, you guys are lucky enough to have something to eat!"

Yan Bugui spoke unhappily about his two sons.

Yu Li took a deep breath. It was ok to eat pickles on a normal day, but she didn't improve her lifestyle during the New Year. She kept saying "I can never be poor if I eat enough and drink enough" all day long. It didn't seem like she was getting rich.

Thinking of this, Yu Li couldn't help but miss her parents' home. Although they were not rich, at least they had meat to eat during the New Year.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong’s family prepared five simple dishes. His eldest son came back with his wife and children.

The whole family was listening to the radio, and Liu Haizhong was drinking while listening to the radio.

Usually, the second aunt would only fry eggs for Liu Haizhong to supplement his nutrition. But this year during the Chinese New Year, she specially fried pork, made dumplings, and gave each person a fried egg.

Fried eggs are a heavenly delicacy for the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

In the backyard, at Xu Damao's home, he was having dinner with Lou Xiao'e. There were three dishes on the table. Everyone else was drinking white wine, except Xu Damao's family, who were drinking red wine.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao drank up the entire bottle of red wine without leaving a drop.

After dinner, Xu Damao took out fireworks from the house and lit them. In an instant, the neighbors who had finished their meals came to watch the fun.

As a wealthy man in the courtyard, Xu Damao would light a large number of fireworks every year.

Fireworks bloomed in the sky, and children and adults looked up to watch.

In the backyard, the entire courtyard was there, except for the brother and sister He Yuzhu and He Yushui.

The two of them, He Yuzhu rode the bike and He Yushui sat behind, and the brother and sister went out for a ride after dinner.

The streets and the sky were filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Brother, look, that firework is so beautiful." He Yushui said, pointing to a gorgeous firework in the sky on the left.

He Yuzhu looked over and found it was indeed very beautiful. The fireworks technology was very advanced in ancient times, and it had improved even more in the 1960s.

The brother and sister rode their bicycles around the street, especially He Yushui, who sat on the back of the bicycle and felt like she was back in her childhood.

Just as the two were about to return to the courtyard, a person came forward and stopped the brother and sister from going back.

He Yuzhu became alert and shouted, "What are you doing? You should be careful about who you are robbing. How dare you rob me?"

He Yuzhu took out a stone from his pocket and threw it at the opponent, ready to injure his head if he dared to attack.

The man immediately explained: "I'm not a robber, I just have to make a living. I came out to sell some fireworks for the New Year. Brother, they are very cheap and the effect is very good."

As he spoke, he unbuttoned his clothes and wrapped rows of fireworks and firecrackers around his waist.

"Good man, are you trying to blow up the bunker?" He Yuzhu frowned. If it was accidentally ignited, this comrade hawker would be either injured or killed.

"Would you like to have a meal? But don't worry, it's very safe and the price is cheap."

He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at He Yushui and asked, "Do you want to play?"

"sure!"

He Yuzhu asked, "How much is one?"

The man said softly, "A double-kick firecracker is five cents, and a popcorn is ten cents. How many do you want?"

He Yuzhu took out three dollars, twenty popcorns, and twenty firecrackers.

He Yushui, holding a bunch of fireworks, was taken by He Yuzhu to a safe area to set them off.

I have to say, the fireworks setting off in the air are really beautiful to watch, and it’s worth every penny you spend on them.

The brother and sister happily set off twenty poppers and twenty firecrackers, and their bodies were filled with the smell of gunpowder.

In order to test it, He Yuzhu walked up to He Yushui and picked it up with one hand, seemingly without any effort.

He Yushui was surprised and asked, "Brother, are you so strong?"

I have been eating good food these years, eating meat almost every day, and have gained a lot of weight. It takes a lot of strength to lift it up!

Putting He Yushui down, He Yuzhu grinned and said, "Haha, let's see who bullies us brothers and sisters now. If you don't accept it, just beat him up!"

"Yes, if you don't agree, just beat him (her)." He Yushui was a little excited, but then he thought about it and said, "Brother, it seems that no one in the courtyard bullies us!"

"Silly girl, it's better to be defensive than to be defensive. Isn't it too late when you realize that others are bullying us brothers and sisters?"

At one o'clock in the morning, He Yuzhu and He Yushui returned to the courtyard, washed their feet, cleaned up, applied a special whitening cream, and He Yuzhu lay on the bed to sleep.

On the first day of the New Year, before the sun rose, in the west wing, Jia Zhang got up very early today, put on the new clothes that Qin Huairu had sewn for her, walked into the inner room, and woke up the three sleeping children one by one.

"Banggeng, Xiaodang, Huaihua, the three of you, hurry up and get up."
