After thinking about this, I became extremely relaxed.

In the evening, I went to the main building for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and a large table of dishes, not all of which were made by Uncle Dong, half of them were sent by the restaurant.

The tastes of several brothers in the family are different, some love Subang cuisine, some love northern cuisine, and they can't be busy relying on Uncle Dong to do it alone, Qi Yihou ordered the meal in advance, and the taste was all taken care of.

Facing a table of sumptuous dishes, the atmosphere is not at all lively for the New Year.

Everyone was eating as if they had completed their task, and even the air was dull.

No one chatted, and no one stirred up a topic, and the food was quiet.

It wasn't until they put down the dishes and chopsticks that Qi Yihou and Wu Mei sent a circle of red envelopes like a fortune boy.

The rule left by the master is that as long as it is a brother who lives at home, he must give red envelopes to his juniors after joining the work.

The implication is that one generation supports one generation and helps each other.

I received three red envelopes, one of which was handed over to us by Master Qi Yihou.

It's very thick when pinched, and all of them add up to at least five or six thousand.

Qian'an Liu Xiaowen and Li Mufeng got up to greet Wu Mei and Qi Yi after receiving the red envelope, and the atmosphere was a little more harmonious, especially when it came to Li Mufeng's New Year's greetings, his seven dragons took off, the six seasons were safe, and the wealth from the nine directions made Wu Mei laugh non-stop.

I also stood up decently, "Thank you Brother Hou for the red envelope, thank you Wu Mei for the red envelope, happy new year, and I wish everyone all the best in the new year, peace and health."

Qi Yi waited for a second and said in a muffled voice, "If you really want to be safe and healthy, don't look for that unhappiness."

I sat back with a smile, and Wu Mei patted my arm soothingly, "Keep in a good mood for the New Year, yes, I'll go back to watch the Spring Festival Gala, brothers, see you on the first day of the New Year."

As soon as he withdrew, Qian'an Liu Xiaowen and Li Mufeng also left after paying New Year's greetings to Uncle Dong.

Qi Yihou's air pressure was still very low, and he told me to eat more, and I raised my feet and left.

I was alone in front of the big table, looking at the dishes that had not been spoiled much, and took out my phone and took a picture.

Stuffed two dumplings in my mouth, I went to the back kitchen to push out the bowl collection cart after eating, and put the plate up without saying a word.

Uncle Dong didn't squint, didn't care about me, and still did his own thing, until I finished wiping the table and cleaning it up, he said, "Miss Wan Ying, you go back to the house and rest."

I nodded, and when I returned to the room, I sent a text message to my father, Aunt Feng, and Uncle Xiaolong.

Uncle Xiaolong and Dad were still drinking, and they didn't reply to my text messages, but Aunt Feng asked me what I had eaten at night.

I sent her that photo of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Aunt Feng was completely relieved.

Then I sent a text message to Ms. Feng for New Year's greetings, and chatted with her a few words by the way.

Teacher Feng was afraid that I would slack off, and told me to hang my throat every day.

I don't dare to say that I didn't insist on practicing my voice, I was pinching the time when Mr. Feng was going to come to class, and I hurriedly opened my voice in the living room, not that I was lazy and didn't want to practice, but during this time, I was scared to wake up every morning, and I was in a trance, and when I was ready, a new teacher would come to the door to start the class.

But from tomorrow onwards, I will continue to practice my voice, I will practice whatever I like, and I will live one day at a time.

My phone kept pressing, I kept sending text messages, and before I knew it, I already had a lot of friends in my address book.

Aunt Zhang, Aunt Jin, Sister Nan, Sister Ami, and Sister He, as well as many teachers who have taught me.

I sent another text message to Meng Qin, and he replied simply, 'Tonghao.

After sending it all, I wanted to call Grandpa Cai alone, but Aunt Cai replied to my previous New Year's message-

'Yingying, your grandfather Cai is very good here, he asked Lao Xian'er at home, saying that you have been working hard recently, but he doesn't want to talk to you on the phone, because he can't solve it, so he asked me to convey to you, now you are on the right path, what you need to do is to persevere, he believes that you can.

Buzzing~

The phone rings quickly.

Aunt Cai immediately sent another one, "Yingying, tell you secretly, your grandfather Cai cried when he talked about you, I guess I think you think, that's also a stubborn old man, what can I do to chat with you."

I felt a little uncomfortable with it, tilted my head for a long time, simply changed into sportswear, and ran upstairs and downstairs in the house.

When my body was hot, I went out and wanted to go to the backyard to do a strengthening exercise, but Uncle Dong was sitting on a bench under the porch of the main building, with a brazier at his feet, and when he saw me, he said, "Miss Wan Ying, tonight is to stay safe, sit here and watch the fireworks."

I nodded, went back to the house, put on my puffer jacket, and stepped out and sat on the other end of the bench.

The night was quiet, crackling, except for the sound of burning charcoal in the brazier.

I wrapped myself in a thick coat and looked up at the night sky.

Bang~!

The black curtain burst into golden fireworks.

Once the fuse is lit, it is full of splendor.

The winter night opened the table, and the honeysuckle bloomed, which was beautiful.

As the poem says, the fire tree is blowing the clouds and flying the red phoenix, and the flowers are all over the ground.

There was a flickering fire in my eyes, I looked up stupidly, and after a while, I heard the sound of firecrackers at the door, and bigger fireworks bloomed in the sky, it turned out that Qi Yi was waiting to come over and set off firecrackers, and Wu Mei also put a small flower at the door for a while, I didn't step forward, and Uncle Dong occupied one side of the bench each, and when the firelight reflected Wu Mei's smiling face, I also laughed.

After midnight, the fireworks continue, and the night sky seems to be tireless, constantly welcoming glittering visitors.

Wu Mei and Qi Yi waited for the fireworks to leave by themselves, I sat a little cold, turned my head to see that Uncle Dong had not been watching the fireworks, he took advantage of the lamp under the corridor, holding a small carving knife, little by little carved a small wooden plaque, carved like a small animal.

I took one look at it and turned my face back to enjoy the fireworks, knowing that Uncle Dong likes to carve these knick-knacks.

There is a barn in the backyard, and in addition to the yard cleaning utensils, there are many wood roots.

Qian'an said that it was Uncle Dong's hobby, and he privately liked to do root carving and wood carving.

"Miss Wan Ying, it's past twelve o'clock, I'll go back."

Uncle Dong's voice came from my ears, and I looked at him again, "Well, Uncle Dong, Happy New Year."

He hummed expressionlessly, "I'm out of the brazier, you can go back and rest."

I nodded and didn't move, and lost my mind as I watched the brazier cool down in front of me.

It was my first year after I left home, and it was very meaningful after all, and I muttered to myself, "Master, have a good New Year."

Pulling my coat together, I got up and prepared to leave, but the end of my eyes swept a touch of red.

Uncle Dong just sat in the position, and left a red envelope, written Miss Wan Ying.

I picked it up and opened it, and there was no money in it, just a wooden tile the size of a mahjong with a rooster carved in relief.

Turning over the wooden sign, there was a word engraved on the back, 'Hotaru.'

Bang~!

Another firework exploded in the night sky.

I clutched the wooden plaque and looked up at Jin Can, smiling at the corners of my lips, but tears welling up in my face.
