The dishes for dinner are basically the same as those for lunch, except that the portions are smaller. The leftover rice at noon is cooked into porridge, and there are big cabbage and pork buns made by Yan's father yesterday.

No more alcohol.

After the meal, he seriously took out the down jacket with the tag cut and handed it to Dad Yan, "Dad, this is a New Year's gift for you. Wear it tomorrow and try it first."

"I have clothes to wear, why do you buy them, and waste money." Yan's father said with a straight face.

Seriously he smiled, and helped him take off the old padded jacket and put on new clothes.

It fits nicely and looks human.

"Uncle, this dress is just right for you!" Yuan Ling said.

Father Yan's face relaxed a little.

Seriously, he didn't mention that Yuan Ling contributed half of this gift, otherwise, according to his father's temperament, he would definitely not accept it.Yuan Ling didn't care about it at all.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, in addition to watching the Spring Festival Gala, there is another custom here, which is to make dumplings.Wrap it up and eat it on the morning of the first day of the new year.

"Kneading noodles, chopping stuffing, rolling out skins, wrapping, what will you do?" asked solemnly.

"...you know how to do it, that's..."

"Then you chop the stuffing and roll the skin." Before Yuan Ling could finish speaking, Serious had already divided the work, and turned to Yan's father and said, "Dad, you can watch the Spring Festival Gala with peace of mind, the two of us will take care of the dumplings."

Yuan Ling, "..."

Looking at the big pieces of pork and Chinese cabbage that were prepared seriously, Yuan Ling thought, indeed Chinese cabbage is the protagonist forever.

Let's chop.

The stuffing here has not been chopped yet, Seriously has already reconciled the noodles and started rolling the skin.After the stuffing was chopped and passed strict inspection by Master Yan, the dumpling wrappers had already been piled up.

"Let's wrap these together first, and then continue to roll the skin." Seriously adjusted the filling to taste, and washed a handful of red dates, "Put this in as a lucky draw."

"Okay, listen to Master Yan's orders."

Yuan Ling's handwork of making dumplings is a bit rusty. After all, he hasn't touched it for many years, but he can barely squeeze his mouth tightly, but the dumplings can't stand up, so they can only lie on their stomachs.

In comparison, the serious package is much more beautiful.Yuan Ling sneaked a few glances, yes, the fingers are quite long and flexible, and they took shape after a few efforts.

This craftsmanship... I guess he made the dumplings every year.

After making the dumplings, we will watch the Spring Festival Gala. When it was almost midnight, the two took the firecrackers and went out to set them off.

It was a little dark outside, and the light that the sporadic lights could emit was basically swallowed up by the vast night.Not far away, a few children were setting off fireworks, making a lot of noise.

Seriously, he disassembled the firecrackers and spread them on the ground, lit a cigarette, and took out his mobile phone. It was 11:58.He looked at Yuan Ling and found that the other party was also looking at him.

No one mentioned the kiss in the afternoon after they woke up, and they knew each other tacitly.After drinking, it's no surprise that something happened, hmm.

At exactly 12 o'clock, Serious lit the firecrackers with cigarettes, and quickly retreated to Yuan Ling's side.

For a time, the sound of crackling cannons resounded through the night sky, and people celebrated the arrival of the new year in the most traditional way.

"Yuan Ling! Happy New Year!" shouted at Yuan Ling with a serious growl.

"Serious! Happy New Year!" Yuan Ling also responded loudly.

"Happy New Year! Happy forever!"

"Happy New Year! Happy forever!"

"House available soon!"

"House available soon!"

"You will be happy!"

"You will be happy!"

After yelling, the two gasped for breath, looked at each other, and kept laughing.

After the sound of firecrackers subsided, the surroundings returned to calm.There was a smell of gunpowder everywhere in the cold air.

"Go in." Seriously exhaled, turned and opened the door to go back to the room.

Yuan Ling gently tugged at his arm from behind, and let it go quickly.The person in front was stunned for a moment, then looked back, Yuan Ling smiled, "It's okay, let's go."

That night, Seriously thought he would suffer from insomnia, but he fell asleep just a few minutes after his head hit the pillow.

Cooking so many dishes and making dumplings, plus the yelling when setting off firecrackers just now, did consume a lot of energy.

Also... there seemed to be something very warm covering his feet, and his cold feet quickly warmed up. As soon as his feet warmed up, his whole body warmed up, so he slept more soundly than usual.

Yuan Ling stared at the sleeping face in the dark, stretched out his hand gently, and his fingers slowly slid across the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, nose, cheeks, and finally stayed on the lips.

I tasted the taste there for the first time in the afternoon, it is very soft and sweet...

According to tradition, the first thing to do when you get up in the morning on the first day of the new year is to give red envelopes to the elders for New Year greetings.

No-nonsense is no exception.

"I wish Dad good health, all the best, and a happy new year!"

"Okay, okay!" Dad Yan took out a red envelope and gave it seriously, "I hope, Suzi, you can buy a house early and live a good life there."

"Well! According to the current situation, it won't be long before it can be realized!" Seriously said with a confident smile.

Dad Yan took out another red envelope and looked at Yuan Ling.

Yuan Ling was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized, "Uncle, I wish you good luck, everything goes well, stay healthy, and be happy!"

"Happy, happy! I am very happy to celebrate the New Year with you this year, uncle!" Yan's father smiled and stuffed the red envelope into his hand, "I hope you and Suzi will always be so close, and the two of you will help and take care of each other in other places! "

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Serious." Yuan Ling secretly glanced at Serious as he spoke.

A drop of cold sweat broke out in the solemn heart, why does this scene sound more and more like the father-in-law entrusting his daughter to someone else...

For breakfast, I ate dumplings made last night.

"There are eight jujubes in total, let's see who has the best luck this year!" Said solemnly while scooping up the dumplings into the plate.

Dad Yan insisted on having a drink, muttering, "Dumplings give wine, the more you eat, the more delicious you are."

Yuan Ling wanted to be company, but was stopped solemnly, "He will just drink a small cup, you can eat dumplings at ease."

Hot dumplings, dipped in soy sauce and vinegar, one bite is just right.

He cast a serious glance at Yuan Ling, and said slowly, "Hey, there are too many, no one will snatch it from you, and if you get lucky, there are cores in it..."

"It's okay, I can't swallow, I'm paying attention."

"..." Seriously and helplessly, he picked up a dumpling and bit half of it, huh?With dates!

While his father wasn't paying attention, he quickly threw the remaining half of the dumpling into Yuan Ling's bowl, and continued to pick up the next one as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Ling stared blankly at the sudden extra half of a dumpling, smiled and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then spat out the jujube pit in front of Seriousness on purpose.

The two secretly looked at each other and exchanged brief glances.

Cut, childish.

Damn, you are more childish.

Yan's father is an only child, and the old people have passed away. My mother's relatives have not been in contact with each other for a long time, so there are basically no Chinese New Year projects such as visiting relatives.

However, the custom that should be prepared still needs to be prepared, that is New Year cake tea.In fact, it is very simple, add some sugar to the boiled water, put some sweet pastries on the plate, and greet the guests when they come.

Not long after eating the dumplings, a distant uncle entered the house with a bag of oranges in his hand.

"Brother, Happy Chinese New Year!" The uncle handed him a cigarette as soon as he entered the door.

"Happy Chinese New Year! Come on, sit down." Dad Yan took the cigarette and beckoned Uncle to sit down.

"Uncle, Happy New Year! Please drink tea!" Seriously mixed a glass of sugar water and brought it to the uncle.

"Oh, Suzi, have you grown taller?" Uncle took the tea and took a sip, "Have you got a girlfriend yet?"

"Uncle, I'm still young, so don't worry about it." When asked this classic question for the first time after returning home, he kept a serious smile and secretly looked at Yuan Ling.

"You're still young after working? Haha..."

"I don't care about this kid. I didn't bring a girl home this year, but I brought a young man back." Smoking a cigarette, Father Yan turned to Yuan Ling, "Xiao Yuan, come to say hello, this is his serious uncle."

"Happy New Year, uncle, I am a serious friend, surnamed Yuan."

"Oh, hello, you're pretty handsome." The uncle smoked a cigarette, ate a piece of sesame seeds, and said, "Brother, have you heard that the government seems to be expropriating land in our village..."

"Huh? I haven't heard of this. What is the land acquisition for?"

"I heard that they are planning to build a large agricultural base or an orchard. Anyway, it is done in cooperation with an outside company... If it is really necessary to expropriate, at least tens of thousands of compensation per mu of land."

"But, without land, how can we live on..."

"Yes, if we don't farm, we can only go out to work like young people. However, it should be voluntary, and no matter what the government can't force it."

"Hey, I hope, there is no specific news yet, so don't worry."

After the two exchanged, the uncle sat for a while and left.
