The 24th is the Little New Year, and for them this day is the day when children celebrate the New Year.

Tang Wan prepared a table of dishes, all of which were her and her children’s favorite dishes.

The three of them ate very well and finished several dishes.

Yiran touched his belly and said, "Mom, the spicy shrimp is so delicious. When will you make spicy pig's trotters again?"

After Tang Wan was full, she lay on the sofa. After listening to the woman's words, she stretched out her hand and said, "Let's talk about it after my hand heals. Anyway, I won't do it during the New Year. Look at my hand. Every time I handle the shrimp, it always pricks my hand. Look at my hand, it's covered with scars."

"Okay then." Yiran looked at his mother's hand and found that it was indeed injured.

After the 24th, a few days later, it was the 28th. On this day, married daughters would return home to have a reunion dinner.

Because my brother and sister-in-law run a supermarket and are very busy during the Chinese New Year, we decided to have dinner in the evening.

When Tang Wan went over to help in the afternoon, she saw that her mother had already prepared the food.

Seeing that there was nothing to help with, Tang Wan had no choice but to chat with her mother, all about trivial family matters.

The aunt next door doesn't know how to use the Internet, so she asks my mom to buy things for her. She can't bear to spend money on expensive things and only looks at cheap ones.

I bought a pair of socks for a penny on a shopping website, but they turned out to have a hole in them.

Tang's mother looked down on it, but Aunt Zhang was quite happy.

After dinner every day, I would take my mother out to chat.

Aunt Zhang's husband found a job as a security guard. The construction site was under construction, and to prevent people from stealing materials at night, he had to guard there all day and night, and even had to live there at night.

Aunt Zhang was not used to her husband not being at home at night, so she had to drag her mother and other people to chat until ten o'clock every night.

Later the group disbanded because Aunt Zhang never used her brain when she spoke.

The other people were afraid that she would go out and say nonsense and cause trouble, so when several aunts saw Aunt Zhang coming, they deliberately hid at home and did not come out.

This happened several times, and then... nothing happened.

Tang's mother liked those aunts very much. She was tactful when chatting with them and would not say anything nonsense.

There is also an aunt who likes to chat with my mother recently, saying that she speaks softly and does not make people angry. She also does not ask her for this or that.

Tang Wan looked at her mother: "Why do you say that?"

"Why else? When she plays with others, she does whatever they tell her to do. She is never asked for her opinion."

"It's different with me. If it's her business, she'll make the decision. If it's mine, I'll make the decision."

Tang Wan was confused. Seeing that the woman didn't understand, Tang's mother gave an example.

"For example, we go to pick up a package together. If she wants me to accompany her, then she decides what time to go." Tang's mother's expression was a little hard to describe when she said this. "No wonder people don't want to play with her. That day she said she was going to pick up a package and we agreed to go after breakfast. But when I was ready at home, she suddenly sent a message saying that she just woke up and would go at 10 o'clock. At 10 o'clock, she sent another message saying that the clothes had not been washed yet and she would go in the afternoon. Who would want to play with such a person? That person is me."

Tang Wan was very happy to see that her mother now had someone coming to play with her.

Although the playmates she mentioned were not very good, it would be good for her to go out with them from time to time. Otherwise, she would be lonely at home.

It didn't feel like long before it was time to make dinner.

Mother Tang got up to cook.

Tang Wan followed her mother and helped to light the fire.

Vegetables are being stir-fried in the pot, pork belly is being frying in the induction cooker, and soup is being stewed in a clay pot over the gas.

Tang Wan helped her mother light the fire. When the dishes were cooked, she would take out some of the dishes she liked and eat them.

When my mother saw this, she told her that it wasn't enough for her to eat alone, and she should call her daughter along. By that time, the three of you would be full before your meal even started.

Tang Wan laughed.

It’s like this every year. She and her sister always pick out the dishes they like and eat them first while their mother is cooking.

By the time it was time for dinner, the two sisters were already 70% full.

When she saw that there were still three dishes left, Tang Wan took out her cell phone and started calling people.

Dad wiped the big table in the living room clean and set the dishes.

Just waiting for the others to come back for dinner.

After all the calls came out.

Finally, my brother, sister-in-law and sister Tang Yu came back one after another.

As soon as Tang Yu got off the car, he saw Yinnan and ran over quickly, holding her little face with both hands, squeezing her face until it was deformed.

Yinan burst into tears all of a sudden.

She quickly ran to her mother and complained that her brother had beaten her.

Tang Wan would make Yinan cry every time her nephew came back.

Normally, I always miss them if I haven’t seen them for a week.

Seeing Tang Wan coming back alone, Tang Yu asked, "Aunt, why didn't Yinan come with you?"

Yinan held her mother's legs tightly, so Tang Wan had to ask her nephew not to mess with Yinan.

Yiran went straight to her aunt to complain, saying that her brother had made her sister cry.

My sister-in-law went to scold her son again. The scene was very chaotic for a while. Crying, scolding and comforting made up this day full of fireworks.

When the father saw his son, daughter-in-law and daughter all came back, he hurriedly brought out the dishes from the kitchen.

My brother came back with drinks.

Also put it on the table.

Dad took a look and said, "Coke is available in hot form. I've already cooked it with ginger. You can drink this cold one after it's heated up."

After hearing this, my brother took it down again.

Everyone helped to bring the cooked dishes to the table, filling the large table with dishes.

Dad went out again and set off a long whip.

After my dad lit the firecrackers, he came back and informed everyone, "Okay, we can have dinner now."

Before eating, my dad raised his glass, and everyone in the family, young and old, raised their glasses of ginger cola.

I wish everyone’s family is safe, their children are successful in their careers, and their grandchildren are successful in their studies.

After saying that, he finished the wine in his glass and watched as his dad/grandfather/grandfather drank it all. Everyone looked at each other and followed suit.

After finishing the drinks in the cups, they started to eat the food happily.

Everyone picked what they liked to eat.

Tang Wan first picked up some of Yiran’s favorite foods and put them in her bowl.

I also picked up some fish balls for my little daughter, which she liked.

Everyone ate and drank, and after half an hour they had finished.

After dinner, my dad cleaned up the dishes, and my brother and sister-in-law prepared to go back to the store in the county town. They could reopen the store there, and business would be better during the New Year.

This is true every year.

My sister finished eating and left.

She is also busy making money.

Tang Wan helped to clean up the dishes and took the two children home.

Seeing some children setting off fireworks downstairs, Yiran looked at his mother and said he wanted to play downstairs for a while.

Tang Wan saw that it was still early and nodded in agreement.

Yiran took his sister to watch.

After the 28th, Tang Wan was waiting for the New Year at home. She cleaned the house and bought all the New Year's goods.

Finally I can take a day off.

On New Year's Eve, they had a simple lunch. After lunch, Tang Wan took the children to put up couplets.

Some New Year decorations were hung up.

Then we started preparing the highlight of the night - the New Year’s Eve dinner.
