“Yes, please,” Jiang Yue said as she ate the prawn.
Xue Yan picked up a small piece of eel for her.
The soup was on the other side so Li Hehua scooped a small bowl of soup for each of them.
“Shall we do one?” Xue Dafu laughed.
“Alright, alright, alright. Let’s do one.” Xue Dagui immediately agreed.
“Those who can’t drink will replace wine with soup. Alright?” Xue Dafu laughed. It was rare for everyone to drink together during the New Year.
“Alright.” Everyone agreed.
Then, they all drank one cup each after a few cheers.
Jiang Yue held her small bowl of soup and took a sip. After expressing her gratitude, she put it down and continued to eat her food.
Xue Yan even gave her some fish balls to try.
It was taken from the boiling soup — it was hot and delicious.
After everyone drank together, Xue Dafu put down his chopsticks and took out the red packets he had prepared earlier. He happily distributed the red packet to the children present.
They were all wrapped in red paper, and each red packet contained five coins. It was meant to be an auspicious blessing for the future generation.
He said that he was giving it to the children present, but in fact, except for Xue Dafu himself, he gave everyone else a red packet. Naturally, he was not that meticulous. His wife had already told him that he was the oldest and that it was fine to give it to everyone.
“I’ve prepared it too.” Xue Dagui also quickly took out the red packet he had prepared and smiled cheekily. “Actually… I really only prepared it for the children. Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, Xue Shi, and Gouzi, each of you can have one.” It was also wrapped in a red packet.
Yu Hongyan was naturally the one who kept the red packet for Xue Shi.
At this moment, Shao Youyue took the red packet that Xia Han had prepared from her hands. She also gave Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, Xue Shi, and Xue Gouzi a red packet each.
Jiang Yue’s new clothes did not have pockets or hidden pockets, and it was not appropriate to put the New Year’s money into the space in front of everyone. There was very little space on the table as well, so she did not know where to put the New Year’s money. Seeing Xue Yan put the New Year’s money into the hidden pocket in his sleeve, she stuffed the New Year’s money she received into it as well.
Xue Yan was startled for a moment, but did not say anything, only silently placing it even better so as not to fall out.
After eating a lot of food, Jiang Yue started to feel bloated. However, everyone was still sitting at the table. This was New Year’s Eve dinner, so it was different from usual. Therefore, even if she was done eating, she still sat at the table and watched everyone eat and laugh.
Xue Yan was still drinking soup when she was done eating.
At that moment, Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao ran over and knocked on the door. “Happy New Year Eve! We’ve finished our dinner. We’re here to wish you a happy New Year.”
“Alright, alright.” Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia were overjoyed.
Erfu had already stood up and walked over to open the door to the hall, letting Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao in.
Xue Dafu quickly gave Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao their red packet.
Shao Youyue also laughed.
“Why are you here now? I haven’t even prepared some New Year’s money for you. Forget it, I don’t need the red packet. I’ll just count out a few coins for you.” Xue Dagui smiled as he took out his money pouch and gave Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao four coins each.
Xiaobao was extremely surprised. “Woah! That’s a lot!”
“Is it? I guess I should take some back.” Xue Dagui pretended to snatch it back..
