As night fell, warm lights gradually lit up in the Xu family's yard, illuminating every corner with warmth and peace. This day is the most cherished New Year's Eve in China. The Xu family sat together, looking forward to the upcoming New Year's Eve dinner.

The kitchen was filled with fragrance, and all kinds of dishes were ready. Xu Congyi was busy all day, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She asked her grandparents, father and mother to sit down, and she and her two brothers were responsible for taking the bowls and chopsticks and serving the dishes. Xu Congyi served the carefully prepared dishes one by one, and the two brothers ran around to serve the dishes.

The first dish served on the table was braised fish. This dish was placed in the middle of the table, implying abundance every year. The bowls and plates used for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight were carefully selected by Xu Congyi from the space, which are both beautiful and suitable for the occasion. The plate for the fish is in the shape of a fish. Although this kind of plate is very common in modern times, it is the first time that the Xu family has seen it in this era, and they all think it is very novel.

Dishes with good appearance, aroma and taste were served one after another, braised pork, pork intestines, sweet and sour spareribs, stir-fried beans... Ten dishes filled the table. The Xu family's life has improved a lot during this period, but seeing so many sumptuous dishes, Xu Congan couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The egg fried rice he had eaten during the day had long been digested, and at this moment his stomach was rumbling with hunger. Xu Congyi also felt that the braised pork she made was very delicious. Seeing the expectant look in her second brother's eyes, she couldn't help but smile.

No one picked up their chopsticks, waiting for the elders in the family to say something. This year was the first year that Xu Congyi had spent here since she traveled through time, and it was of great significance to her. She also looked at Old Man Xu and Mother Xu, waiting for the two elders to say something.

Old Man Xu cleared his throat and said, "This year is our family's reunion year, and I am very happy. Yi Yi has recovered her health and has grown so beautiful, bringing so many surprises to our family. This is the happiest and most satisfying year I have ever had in so many years. I am a rough man and I can't say nice things, but I hope that in the days to come, our whole family will be safe and happy every day!"

Xu's mother also said gently: "Today is the day when our family is reunited. Thank you all for your hard work and support over the past year. In the new year, I hope everyone in our family can be healthy and have good luck, and our lives will get better and better!"

Xu Congyi stood up and took the initiative to pour a drink for everyone. He poured peach wine for his grandparents and parents, which was mellow and fragrant, implying a sweet life in the new year; he poured grape juice for himself and his two brothers, which was sweet and delicious. The whole family toasted to celebrate and welcomed the arrival of the new year together.

Putting down the cup in her hand, Xu's mother took the lead in picking up a piece of braised pork. The meat was fat and lean, and after Xu Congyi's skillful cooking, the color was bright red and extremely tempting. She gently put the meat into her mouth and chewed it gently. The meat melted on the tip of her tongue. The taste was soft and glutinous, fat but not greasy, and the aroma was overflowing, intoxicating. Li Dahua on the side couldn't wait to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. This was her first time to taste meat cooked in this way. The perfect combination of sour and sweet sauce and tender meat made her eyes light up and have a unique flavor. Xu the hunter and his daughter have a special liking for the spicy fried pig intestines. The two of them ate one chopstick after another, taking a bite of chili and a bite of pig intestines, eating with relish and couldn't stop. The main reason was that the pig intestines were carefully processed, which not only retained their unique taste, but also removed the odor, and contrasted with the spicy taste of chili, making people unable to stop.

In addition to these dishes, there were also dumplings. Xu Congyi specially asked his mother to put two copper coins in the dumplings. She joked that copper coins were a good omen, and let's see who had good luck. After hearing her, Xu Congan quickly picked up a few dumplings and put them in the bowl, fearing that he would miss this good luck. He picked up a dumpling nervously and expectantly, took a bite carefully, and then chewed it carefully in his mouth, hoping to bite the copper coin. However, looking at his expression, the dumplings he ate seemed to be no different from the others. Xu Congan didn't believe it, and picked up a few more after finishing the ones in the bowl.

Li Dahua and Xu the Hunter did not give up the chance to look for the copper coin dumpling. They took turns picking up the dumplings and tasting them with great anticipation. But they didn't get to eat it either. Xu Congwen was calmer. He just picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth at will. Suddenly, his face wrinkled up. It was because his teeth bit something hard. He spit it out and found it was a copper coin. As for the second copper coin dumpling, it was eventually eaten by Xu's mother inadvertently. While eating the dumplings, Xu's mother also felt that she bit something hard. She spit it out and found it was the second copper coin. He laughed, patted his thigh and said, "It seems that I will be lucky this year too!"

In this way, the two copper coin dumplings were finally found. Although their appearance did not bring any substantial good luck, it added some fun and joy to the dinner. At the dinner table, everyone in the Xu family toasted to celebrate, and blessings came one after another. They tasted the food, talked about family matters, and bursts of cheerful laughter broke out from time to time. This night was so warm and beautiful for the Xu family.

After eating and drinking, several people took turns to take a bath in the bathroom. Of course, Xu Congyi was not included. Xu Congyi took a bath in the space. Xu's mother and Li Dahua boiled water in the kitchen. The kitchen was warm and hot water was always available. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren went to the bathroom in the back room to take a bath. The back room was large and had a stove that could burn fire, so it was not cold. Xu Congyi bought a set of home clothes for everyone in the space. She specially chose a split style with a quilted lining, which was more similar to this era, so that if someone saw it, they would just say it was a new style.

The kang in the house was heated warmly. After taking a bath and changing into home clothes, the Xu family gathered in the room of Old Man Xu and his mother. The old couple's room had a large kang, which was warm when heated. Even wearing quilted home clothes was still a little hot. It was perfect for everyone to chat and spend time together.

But just chatting is not enough. Xu Congyi took out melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, dates and other things from her space. When she bought New Year's goods, she didn't tell her that she had a space, but she refused to buy them. Although her family was puzzled, they didn't ask much. I think Xu Congyi had the idea of ​​telling her family at that time. She also took out canned yellow peaches from her space. It was so refreshing to eat a piece of cool peaches in such a warm house. There were also White Rabbit, plum candy, seaweed rolls, grapefruit, oranges and other things, which were placed on the kang table.

The whole family said they were very full after dinner, but they still couldn’t help themselves. With such delicious food on the table, they ate a lot while chatting.
