"Dad, come and have a look, is this magic dumpling I made right?"

"And mine, too."

At the end of the year, although it was just past six o'clock, the stars had quietly descended, and every household was busy preparing for the magical New Year's Eve dinner. Li Li and her brother were calling happily in the living room, and Li Dajun came out from the kitchen to examine their cooking skills.

He first examined Li Ting's work and said, "Not bad, but there is a little more stuffing, otherwise the skin won't be able to bear it." Li Dajun nodded in appreciation.

Having received his father's approval, Li Ting raised his little head proudly.

Then he looked at Li Li's dumplings. "Are these the dumplings you made? They are so loose, the mouths are not sealed tightly, and the stuffing will leak out as soon as they are put into the pot. They are not as good as your brother's. Forget it, go watch TV and don't make trouble here."

Li Dajun couldn't understand why he had a daughter who was not good at cooking. After all, Jiang Hou could perform some cooking magic when he was a child.

Li Li sat aside, watching them busy, those plump and round magic dumplings looked tempting. She touched her nose guiltily, after decades of interstellar life, she could not even cook her own food, she could just use a bottle of magic nutrient solution when she was busy, and she had long forgotten all about the magic in the kitchen.

On TV, the interstellar New Year celebration is in progress. The host's voice is filled with joy, heralding the arrival of the next wonderful performance.

Even though there were only three of them, Li Dajun still prepared a sumptuous meal. When the last magic fish was served on the table, the magic New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

"Come, try this dumpling first. Does it taste like what you remember?" Li Dajun put a dumpling into Li Li's bowl, his eyes full of anticipation.

Li Li took a bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction. "Mm, it's delicious. It tastes exactly the same, and it hasn't changed at all."

"If it tastes good, eat more. Xiaoting, you should try it too." Li Dajun looked at the brother and sister with a smile on his face.

"Dad, you try it too." Li Li picked up some food and gave it to Li Dajun.

The New Year's Eve dinner for the family of three was warm and joyful. Outside the window, magical fireworks occasionally flashed by, illuminating the deep night sky.

"If we had known that some people were secretly setting off fireworks, we should have bought some." Li Dajun revealed a hint of regret.

Li Li smiled and said, "Those were released secretly. Didn't you see the magicians patrolling outside? We will return to Xiushui Town in two days and let you release them to your heart's content."

"it is good."

"Come, let's toast together and have a happy magical new year!"

"Happy New Year, may the stars bless you!"

After dinner, the family of three sat on the magic carpet, immersed in the wonderful fantasy of the star party. The magic crystal communicator in Li Li's hand kept flashing, full of New Year's blessings from all sides. She held it gently and responded to every message with her heart.

Classmates, wizard mentors, friends, companions from the School of Magic and the Institute of Mysticism, and even the distinguished Professor Meng Huai sent their blessings: "May the stars shine brightly, Apprentice Li Li."

Li Li was filled with surprise and responded quickly: "Thank you, Professor Meng. I wish you a bright new year, smooth spellcasting, and good health."

In various magic exchange groups, people were scrambling for the New Year's spiritual stone red envelopes. Li Li generously scattered a few valuable spiritual stones in the groups of the college and the research institute, which attracted a flood of magic runes of praise and gratitude.

While they were busy, Jiangnan's magic voice message sounded, and Li Li stepped onto the moonlit balcony to answer it.

"Um?"

“Lili, may your new year shine like the stars.”

The man's deep and warm voice on the other end of the phone was like a bonfire on a winter night, which made Li Li smile: "Happy New Year, Master Wu."

Jiang Nan stood on the Jiang family's ancient moonlight tower, looking at the magical snowflakes dancing in the darkness, and smiled helplessly: "I have a request, can you change the name? I've been wanting to say it for a long time."

"Then what should I call you? Brother Jiang? Brother Nan? It doesn't sound very pleasant. Should I call you Fifth Brother like Zhou Ye and the others do?"

After a brief silence, Jiangnan replied: "My name is Muzhi, you can call me that."

"Muzhi?" Li Li whispered, with a smile on her face. "This name sounds so elegant, which is quite different from your title."

"The name was given to me by my father, a brave knight who hoped that I would become a warrior. My grandfather was a learned sage who gave me this name," Jiangnan explained.

"I see. Then I'll say it again: Happy New Year, Muzhi!"

The girl's clear voice came, and Jiangnan's smile deepened. Although his family members all called him that, but when Li Li heard it, it had a special charm.

"What are you doing over there? Aren't you cold? Go and chat with your father." Mrs. Jiang looked at her little son who was making a phone call at the Moonlight Tower, her face full of surprise. Who was he talking to? Why did he smile so gently?

"I'll be right there." Jiangnan said good night to Li Li, put away his smile, and walked towards the living room.

After the call ended, Li Li still stood on the balcony. This was her first New Year spent in her hometown. At this moment, her father and brother were by her side. She was very satisfied and believed that the future would only be better.

May the new year surpass the glory of the past.

The next day was the first day of the new year, a day to visit relatives and friends. The Li family in Lancheng had no close relatives, so they skipped this step and the family of three comfortably enjoyed the warmth of home.

Although the Lian family is a must-visit place, considering that the Lian family has many guests and is busy recently, Li Li plans to visit after returning from Xiushui Town.

Lingyou's grandparents, missing their grandson, also returned to Jinghua City to spend the holiday together. Unexpectedly, instead of paying New Year's greetings, someone came to visit them.

"Qingqing, why are you here?" Li Li asked in surprise.

Qing Yu was worried that Li Li's family was out visiting for the New Year, so he came early in the morning, carrying a lot of gifts, his cheeks red from the cold wind: "It's my mother, she insisted that I come early to wish you a happy New Year."

"Come in, visitor from another world."

Lilia poured her a cup of magically distilled hot water, warming her body and mind.

"So, where is your mother? Why didn't she come with you?"

"My mother's body is still weak and she can't withstand the cold wind. She is now watching the illusion images in front of the magic stone screen at home." Qingyu lowered her head and sipped the water droplets, hiding the emotional fluctuations in her eyes.

Lilia looked gloomy. On the first day of the new year, they were alone at home? Where was her stepfather? Was he out drinking and gambling on the night of the celebration?

"Lilia, who is visiting?" Li Dayuan walked out of the magic barrier room.

"Hello Uncle Li, Happy New Year!" Qingyu immediately stood up and saluted.

Li Dayuan was startled, "Qingyu, why did you come here alone?"

"Father, could you please prepare some magical fruits?" Lilia quickly changed the subject and asked her father to leave.

"Xiaoting, Sister Qingyu is here, go say hello to her."

"Hello, Sister Qingyu." A clear voice sounded.

"Xiaoting is really sensible."
