Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The yard is bustling with people, a lively and prosperous scene.

The adults were doing their work in an orderly manner, and occasionally there would be laughter and conversation, adding a lively atmosphere to this quiet little courtyard.

Everyone was chatting and talking to each other, and at this special moment, everyone felt extremely happy and satisfied.

They know that this New Year’s Eve dinner is not just a meal, but also a symbol of family reunion, a summary of the past year and the beginning of the new year.

In the kitchen, the adults were busy preparing the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. The fresh vegetables and meats bought this morning were shining temptingly by the fire. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making people salivate.

On the other side of the yard, the older children also actively helped with the work, while the younger children were played by Liu's mother. There were laughter and screams one after another. The hardships they had experienced in the past year or so seemed to have really passed. The impact on them gradually decreased as the environment became more stable. The naughty and innocent nature of the children, who were only four, five or six years old, gradually revealed themselves.

As time goes by, the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner are coming to an end.

The adults began to put the prepared ingredients into the pot, stewing, frying, steaming... one delicious dish after another was born in their hands.

The braised pork, mushroom chicken, steamed buns, steamed fish, lotus root and mushroom steamed meat patties, steamed pumpkin, and pork with preserved vegetables that were stewed earlier were all out of the pot and placed in the steamer on a wooden barrel to the side. There was boiling water under the barrel, and the steamer on top could keep it warm. The lid would be opened when the meal started.

In two large iron pots, vegetables are being cooked, including stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded radish, scrambled eggs with leeks, mapo tofu, cabbage with garlic, spicy stir-fried pork head, etc.

There are not many varieties of vegetables in winter, but you can cook them in a variety of ways.

As the last dish was put into the pot, Father Liu asked everyone to prepare for dinner.

Every household in the village has to have a New Year's Eve dinner, and borrowing tables is not very realistic, so Liu's father went to the village carpenter's house today and bought three new tables. Together with the table at home, each table can seat eight people.

Father Liu brought Liu Caixia, Luo Hong, Lin Weizhong, Liu Hao, and Liu Xianxue. They sat at two tables, and the new people who had joined sat at another two tables.

There were two tables of people in the main room and two tables of people in the kitchen. Everyone sat around the table and enjoyed this sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Everyone felt extremely satisfied and happy because they knew that this moment of reunion and laughter would remain in their memory forever.

At the New Year's Eve dinner table, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. They talked about their experiences and gains in the past year, and also looked forward to more opportunities and challenges in the new year.

They know that no matter how the future changes, they will always cherish the warmth and companionship of this big family. As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars.

The atmosphere of the New Year’s Eve dinner is still warm and lively.

On this special night, everyone was surrounded by happiness and joy. They knew that in the new year, they would get better and better, and they were more determined to fight for a better future.

Father Liu was in the room inside and took out two bottles of wine. "Haozi, use the jug now to turn this bottle of white wine upside down and send it over to them. Let them have some fun. We'll drink this bottle ourselves. I've also brought out a bottle of red wine and juice. Let's all have a drink."

These were all taken out by Liu Xiaolu. There wasn't much juice left, and she hadn't stockpiled much before. She took out her favorite Orange Juice, "These are the last two bottles. If you drink them, they'll be gone."

Liu Caiyun knew that they would have something to talk about in a while, so she took the initiative to take Liu Xiaomei to the kitchen to eat with everyone else.

The people remaining in the room don't have to worry about the presence of outsiders when they talk.

"It's okay. We'll make our own juice in the future. You can drink as much as you want. When the new year comes, we'll plant fruit trees on the hillside behind us. We'll plant all the trees that can survive, and when we have money, we'll buy all the nearby hills. They'll all be our orchards in the future."

"Yeah, yeah..." Luo Junning took a sip of the juice in the bowl and cheered happily.

“I’m afraid that many fruit trees will be gone.”

"It doesn't matter. We can organize a caravan and run along the river to collect some new and exotic seeds to cultivate."

"Yes, it would be great if we could find potatoes. How could there not be something as delicious as potatoes on the table?" Liu Xianxue thought of French fries, and everything made with potatoes is delicious.

"We have potato seeds, but we haven't found a good time to take them out." Liu Caixia said it directly when the conversation reached this point.

"But the quantity was not large, probably only a few kilograms. We didn't want to eat them along the way, because we wanted to save them for seeds. We also collected some other fruits such as pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe, apple, and pear. The quantity was very small, so we didn't want to eat them along the way. We saved those that could be used as seeds, but they were all bought from supermarkets, so we don't know if they can be planted. But potatoes should be fine."

Father Liu poured drinks for everyone, "Alright, alright, let's talk about these things while we eat. Come... let's have a drink together to celebrate our first year together. We've all been through a lot this year, and now we can finally settle down and live a good life. Let's have a drink together..."

"cheers……"

"cheers……"

“I wish you all the best…”

"Everyone is happy..."

"Happily..."

"Okay... let's start eating..."

“This is delicious…”

"After dinner, we made dumplings together and stayed up all night. I also bought fireworks and fireworks. These are popular fireworks at this time of year. These two types of fireworks are on a larger scale and very beautiful. They are sold very well in the store. Fortunately, we went early, otherwise they would have been sold out."

Liu Caixia said this to the children. In the past, in modern times, Liu Caixia would also take Liu Xiaolu to stay up all night and set off fireworks as soon as the countdown to the New Year was over. They were all in Liu's father's manor in the countryside. Fireworks were not allowed in the city, and there were designated locations for fireworks, which was not as convenient as in the countryside.

"Great……"

"Great……"

Liu Xiaolu said to the other two younger children, "Do you want to go watch the fireworks later?"

"Look……"

"Then don't fall asleep!"

"We won't sleep!"

"Hahaha……"

"He must have fallen asleep in no time!"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
