In Northeast China, the New Year's Eve dinner is usually eaten in the afternoon of New Year's Eve and is the most sumptuous meal, usually consisting of more than ten dishes.

The Su family, consisting of only three people, prepared a huge feast for the New Year.

The New Year's Eve dinner was in full swing.

The crispy skin of the sweet and sour pork was still glistening, the soup in the sauerkraut and pork hot pot was still bubbling, and the red oil on the cold noodles was soaked with minced garlic, making it so fragrant that you couldn't help but eat a few more mouthfuls of rice.

Su Xing picked up a large shrimp from the plate and tore it apart with his teeth.

Zhou Liyun glared at her daughter, "Peel it with your hands, look how lazy you are."

Su Xing mumbled, "Then I have to wash my hands, that's too much trouble..."

Su Shaohui held his wine glass, took a sip, and watched his daughter eat with her mouth glistening with oil. He smiled and said, "Our daughter has been away from home for too long, but she still misses the food at home."

Su Xing smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Of course, no food outside can compare to the authentic cooking of Mom and Dad."

Zhou Liyun picked up a clean white porcelain bowl and carefully placed the fish head and tail inside. She then took another bowl and picked out the chicken head and feet, placing them together.

Su Xing asked indistinctly, "Mom, what are you keeping this for?"

Zhou Liyun said, "What else can we do with it? We'll save it for the pressure cooker, otherwise you'll eat it all in a bit."

These symbolize abundance year after year and the ability to attract wealth.

Su Xing pouted, "I don't like eating these..."

Su Shaohui smiled at his wife and daughter, picked up the decanter, and poured them half a glass of red wine. "Come on, have some."

The three members of the Su family raised their glasses and held them up at the same time.

"Happy New Year--!"

Bu Diu joined in the fun, "Woof—!"

The three of them immediately burst into laughter.

Su Shaohui peeled two large shrimp, put one in his wife's bowl, and gave the other away without throwing it away.

Su Xing asked discontentedly, "Dad, what about mine?"

Su Shaohui picked up a crab and put it in his daughter's bowl, saying, "You need to eat more of this."

Su Xing's lips twitched slightly.

Her dad has been particularly insistent on letting her "run wild" these past two years...

After finishing their meal, Su's parents got up to clean the table and the kitchen.

Su Xing then began to organize the boxes containing the items he had lost and his own.

Bu Diu picked up a plush toy and circled around Zhou Liyun and Su Shaohui.

Seeing that his parents had finished packing, Su Xing gave them the gifts.

She gave them a pair of jade pendants for couples, as well as clothes she bought for them.

Zhou Liyun glanced at the jade pendant's box and realized it belonged to a high-end jade brand.

She said, "This brand isn't cheap."

Su Xing laughed and said, "Your daughter is rich."

Zhou Liyun rolled her eyes at her, "You spend the little money you earn recklessly."

Su Xing said, "Of course I want to spend the money I earn on my family. That's what motivates me to make money."

Su Shaohui said, "This girl is getting better and better at sweet-talking people."

Although the couple said this, they actually put the jade on in unison.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, why don't you try on the clothes?"

The two changed into the clothes their daughter had bought for them, and were very happy.

"It fits well, not bad."

"Xiao Xing has good taste."

The couple also prepared a New Year's gift for their daughter.

Zhou Liyun chose a pearl necklace for her daughter. It was a very young and fashionable design, and Su Xing, who is her age, did not look old wearing it.

Su Shaohui gave his daughter a brand new high-end mobile phone.

He raised his chin, looking smug.

Su Xing's eyes widened in surprise. "Dad, you actually hid so much money in your pocket?"

She then turned to her mother, "Mom, didn't you notice?"

"You brat!" Su Shaohui gave his daughter a sharp rap on the head. "What kind of child are you? Trying to sow discord between your parents!"

Su Xing rubbed his forehead and chuckled, "I was just a little surprised."

Zhou Liyun twitched her lips and said, "Your dad asked me for some financial support."

Su Xing laughed and said, "Oh, is that so? No wonder..."

Su Shaohui snorted and turned his face away.

Don't linger and nudge him with your mouth.

Su Shaohui hugged Bu Diu's big head, "Bu Diu is still the best, not annoying at all."

Su Xing and his mother looked at each other and smiled in unison.

After exchanging gifts, the Su family of three watched a TV series to enjoy the lively atmosphere, and then sat down together to play cards.

Since it couldn't understand what they were doing, it just lay down next to them and played with its toys.

Su's parents would occasionally reach out and stroke the big dog's head.

At seven o'clock, Su's father took Bu Diu out to play for a while and take care of his physiological needs.

When he returned, Bu Diu had a used firework stick in his mouth.

Zhou Liyun asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Su Shaohui said, "It doesn't like to play, it doesn't let go, so we let it come back."

Zhou Liyun asked, "You're treating this thing like a toy? Don't you find the smell pungent?"

He didn't throw away the firework stick, but instead wagged his tail and acted coquettishly towards Zhou Liyun.

Su Xing said, "No, don't throw them away. Your feet are so dirty, hurry up and wipe them."

Su Shaohui took a rag and said, "I'll wipe it, I'll wipe it for you."

When the Spring Festival Gala started, the family watched TV while kneading dough and preparing fillings to make dumplings.

When the Su family of three were making dumplings, they also made some large meat dumplings with minimal seasoning for Bu Diu.

On the television, the host's voice was cheerful and cheerful.

The sound of firecrackers outside the window grew louder and louder, mingling with the laughter and chatter inside. The warm, festive atmosphere enveloped the family, and even the air was filled with the sweet scent of the New Year.

Around 9 p.m., families began to welcome the God of Wealth.

The Su family of three also went downstairs to set off some fireworks and firecrackers, and also enjoyed watching other people's fireworks for a while.

After waiting outside for a while, they went upstairs and started cooking dumplings.

In addition to dumplings, Su's parents also prepared several hot and cold dishes.

In other families, when they eat dumplings in the evening, they will reheat the leftovers from the afternoon and continue eating them, and they may even eat leftovers for the next week.

As for the Su family, if Zhou Liyun hadn't grabbed some of the leftovers from the pressure cooker and stored them away, they probably wouldn't have had any leftovers.

After welcoming the God of Wealth, the family's cell phones started ringing non-stop.

They received blessings from relatives and friends, and at the same time, they also had to send New Year's greetings to their relatives and friends.

Closer relatives like the Su couple and the Zhou couple video-chatted with each other for quite a while.

At midnight, another peak of New Year's greetings arrived.

He Xu called Su Xing via video at the exact moment.

"Xiao Xing, Happy New Year."

Su Xing smiled at He Xu on the screen, "He Xiaoxu, Happy New Year!"

The young couple exchanged blessings.

We chatted for a while longer before reluctantly hanging up the video call.

Su Shaohui and Zhou Liyun were busy with work all day yesterday, and then spent another day preparing for the New Year on New Year's Eve. They were both quite tired, so they had already gone to bed.

Bu Diu followed Su Xing into her room, lay down on the mat next to her bed, turned over, and slept sprawled out.
