It’s New Year’s Eve again, and it’s New Year again.

1986 was also a spring for their family, a year of good harvest.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, tomorrow is a new year, entering 1987.

There were a few crisp explosions in the night, and then, dazzling fireworks bloomed in the night sky, like the Milky Way pouring down, decorating the dark sky with colorful colors.

Red is like fire, green is like jade, blue is like the sea, and yellow is better than gold. The various colors are intertwined together to form a flowing picture, which is so beautiful.

Some older children were still keeping watch or playing with toys. When they heard the sound of explosions, they ran out excitedly, pointing to the ever-changing patterns in the sky and exclaiming.

The adults also looked up to the sky with smiles on their faces.

The air is filled with the smell of fireworks, various cheerful sounds, and blessings, making people feel a warm and lively atmosphere.

As the last fireworks slowly dissipated, the new year officially arrived.

All people's hearts are full of longing and expectations for the future, and they believe that life will be better in the days to come.

"Okay, hurry up and go home and go to bed. If the adults don't sleep, you won't sleep either. You're still making noises." Ye Yaodong chased his two little boys.

I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve grown up or because I have too many toys. It’s rare that I didn’t go to bed early on New Year’s Eve this year, but I was able to wait until 12 o’clock to set off the fireworks.

In previous years, I have been sleeping like a pig for a long time, and I will not wake up when I hear any noise in my subconscious.

This year, I was running back and forth arguing with the people next door in the middle of the night.

The two brothers took their toys and ran home obediently, then went upstairs bang bang bang.

After Ye Yaodong waited for his children to go upstairs, he went to Mazu Temple to offer incense.

This year, several of my friends are in high spirits, and all of them have made a lot of money. Even when they offer incense, they want to walk to more mountains and visit all the big and small temples to wish them a smooth next year.

They started together, and when other people heard it, all the young and middle-aged people in the village also wanted to worship a few more mountains.

As a result, it evolved into a huge group of people...

Ye Yaodong actually didn't want to go. He had long passed the age of passion, and now he wanted to go home and lie in bed. He was not as energetic as them all.

His wife is still waiting for him under the covers. Their family's traditional customs cannot be left behind.

But after all, he is now the most reputable person in the village. Everyone is asking him to go with them, and even if they don't want to go, they will drag him along.

He had no choice but to accompany him. Anyway, there were only a few temples nearby, so there was no harm in paying more obeisances.

This delay meant that he didn't go home until almost 3 o'clock.

Lin Xiuqing was fast asleep and woke up when she felt the wind leaking from the bed.

"What time is it and why did you come back?"

"I was dragged by them to visit other big and small temples. It was exhausting and cold. Everyone was brave enough not to be afraid of the cold."

"Go to sleep, I'm so sleepy." She turned over and continued to sleep.

"Fortunately, I have nothing to do tomorrow, so I can sleep in."

Ye Yaodong touched her, but there was no reaction at all for a long time.

He just kept messing around and worked blindly by himself.

Counting it down, it’s been a week!

Today is still the first day of the Lunar New Year!

He is such a strong person as Xingyu!

I definitely can’t bear it!

But, I can't get in no matter what...

He was so hot and sweaty from squeezing around...

Later, I felt that my posture was wrong. I was lying on my side, and they were tightly together. I asked him to squeeze in any way.

"Be cooperative..."

He whispered, and turned her body over, trying to make her lie flat, not sideways.

He knew she must not have slept!

How could I possibly sleep after being harassed like this? There was still air leaking from time to time in the bed, so I must be pretending to be asleep.

"What time is it? If you don't sleep, others will still sleep. It's true."

"Hurry up...quick victory..."

Lin Xiuqing didn't want to talk to him, and didn't even look at what time it was.

Ye Yaodong couldn't get any cooperation and could only work on his own.

But even if she doesn't cooperate, how can he get in if she still resists?

He couldn't get in at all.

"Hurry up, I'm so sleepy and tired..."

"Then you go to sleep."

"We can't miss this year. I've made more and more money every year in the past few years. Maybe it's because of this fine tradition that we have to continue it. You don't want me to not make a lot of money this year, right?"

Lin Xiuqing was helpless by his nonsense, so she turned around and stabbed him hard in the chest several times.

"Just talk nonsense."

"It's better to believe that something exists than to believe something doesn't exist! The one thing our family has been prospering in the past few years has in common is..." Ye Yaodong squeezed hard, "...this..."

"You don't want to be depressed next year, right? I am the hope of our family, and it will become more and more prosperous..."

Lin Xiuqing didn't believe his lies. What their family had in common was that they listened to his nonsense.

She just wanted to make a quick decision and go to bed quickly.

She had to get up early the next day. After all, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year. How could she sleep in like him?

Ye Yaodong himself didn't even know what time he went to bed. Anyway, he was so tired that he snored when he fell down. He slept until midnight on the first day of the next day.

However, he was not the only one. The two sons were driven back upstairs last night and he didn't know what time they went to sleep. Anyway, the movement of two people running around upstairs woke him up.

When he got up, he saw his two sons sitting having breakfast.

The table is full of leftovers from last night, which can probably be eaten for two more days...

He glanced at the dining table and brought the pickled mustard and pickled cucumbers to him. He was too tired of eating the big fish and meat.

"On New Year's Day this year, remember something."

Ye Chenghu smiled and said, "Hey, you can't hit or curse people!"

"Dad, congratulations on getting rich!"

Satisfied, Ye Yaodong took a dime from his pocket and gave it to Ye Chengyang.

Ye Chenghu's eyes widened, "Dad, everything goes well."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong responded without saying anything, and just lowered his head to eat.

Ye Chenghu was depressed.

Ye Chengyang secretly had fun.

"Why..."

"Because you smile like a thief and are not sincere at all. When you hear it, it sounds fake and not sincere."

"Fortunately, I have finished my homework. I received a lot of red envelopes yesterday, and there will definitely be more tomorrow." Ye Chenghu felt very happy when he thought about it.

Ye Yaodong curiously asked Lin Xiuqing, "Did Ah Hai give you any new year's money?"

"Yes, I got one for each of them after dinner last night."

"You two went to see Brother Ahai for a treat. You both work to make money, and you had the nerve to ask for the New Year's money. It's okay if you didn't ask him to give me the New Year's money."

Ye Chenghu said happily: "I understand."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily, "Do you think you are his father? I gave you lucky money."

"Fortunately, I'm not his father. If I were his father, it would be a big problem."

The old lady picked up the crutch and hit him lightly, "That's nonsense, but when you get older, you should be filial to you. If you love them now, they should be more filial to you when they get older."

"Come on, it's good if you can take care of yourself. If you don't expect these little ones, I can take care of myself in my old age."

"Then you keep saying that we have no hope." Ye Chenghu said.

"Is that wrong?"

Ye Chenghu thought about it and didn't know what was wrong. He was confused for a while, then he just didn't say anything, and after finishing the meal, he quickly got off the table and ran out.

"Brother..." Ye Chengyang shouted anxiously, then hurriedly finished his meal and ran out.

After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he sat at the door to bask in the sun as usual.
