Journey to the heavens starting from childhood

Chapter 100 New Year's Eve (please recommend)
On New Year's Eve, the earth began to exude a festive atmosphere, and even the air was filled with a strong flavor of the New Year.

In this day of family reunion and joy of the whole country, Grandpa Fang is full of smiles and reminisces about the sweet past of the year.

During the day, Li Yi and Lin Lei'er helped Fangyuan put up door gods, Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, and lanterns. Grandpa was also directing from behind. They were very busy inside and outside the room.

This day is a day when people are preparing to quit the old and welcome the new, and have a reunion dinner. Tong Wenjie and grandma were busy in the kitchen early on, playing beautiful music with pots and pans.

For this meal, whole chickens, fish, large pieces of meat, etc. should be used. First, worship the heavens and the earth, worship the gods and ancestors, and then use the knife to cut vegetables.

"Tuk tuk tuk", on the chopping board, Tong Wenjie was busy waving her hands, and the dishes were rapidly taking shape from her hands.

Before the reunion dinner, firecrackers need to be set off outside before the meal can begin.

There are usually chickens (meaning planning), fish (meaning more than every year), sausages (meaning long life), lotus root (meaning smart) and so on for auspiciousness.

In some places in the south, the door is closed, and the door can only be opened after eating and clearing away the dishes.

There is another saying that is a folk legend. It is said that the Jade Emperor sent Tieguai Li to check the people's conditions on New Year's Eve, so Tieguai Li would turn into a beggar during the reunion dinner, and then go door-to-door to beg.

Tieguai Li then showed the Jade Emperor what he had begged for, so that it would be clear at a glance who was rich and who was poor, and then the Jade Emperor would balance the wealth of each family in the next year.

Later, a shrewd rich businessman thought of a way, which was to close the door and open the door after eating and cleaning up. At this time, Tieguai Li came in and saw that there was nothing on the table, so he thought the family was very poor. The Jade Emperor will make this family rich.

So everyone followed suit, and the custom of having a reunion dinner behind closed doors has continued to this day.

However, Li Yi thought that the custom of closing the door might be to keep out the cold.

········
On the New Year's Eve, there is a reunion, and the red candles are flickering and full of love.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and the pedestrians you meet on the road are all laughing.

There are also some children, led by their own adults, setting off dazzling fireworks one by one.

When the time came before the reunion dinner, Fang Yuan and two children set off firecrackers outside, and after they came in, they closed the door.

At the table, the grandparents were seated, waiting for Grandpa Fang to take the first bite with his chopsticks. This was a signal, and the younger generations started to pick up the chopsticks to enjoy the food.

Fang Yuan suggested that everyone raise their glasses together to celebrate the arrival of the New Year and family reunion.

After everyone heard this, they all started to clink their glasses, and then shouted:

"Happy New Year's Eve!"

The cups, plates and bowls are full of delicacies, and everyone laughs with every gesture.

At this moment, the full of family affection was condensed in the cup and printed on everyone's smiling faces; the happiness of the reunion night suddenly permeated.

Although Li Yi felt full in his stomach for a while, today he also started to feast on it.

As for the adults, the whole family sits around and talks about the family life, enjoying the joy of family relationships.

After the reunion dinner, a key link is to watch the Spring Festival Gala together with the whole family.

Before Li Yi's own Spring Festival Gala, when he was a child, he would always go crazy outside and play with firecrackers. When he grew up, he would start gathering with friends and playing small cards.

Tonight in this family was something he hadn't met in a long time, which also gave him a different feeling.

It feels good to be able to watch the Spring Festival Gala next to my family in peace.

········
In the Spring Festival Gala, there are lively singing, sketches that make people laugh out loud, and touching interviews with people.

The time came to 12 o'clock in the evening, and the host of the Spring Festival Gala began to count down.

"10"

"9"

"8"

"... "

"1"

"Happy New Year to everyone, Happy New Year to everyone!"

Then Li Yi also started to pay New Year's greetings to his grandparents, parents, and Lin Lei'er, who also followed him to pay New Year's greetings to his elders in a decent manner.

"Okay, very good, come here, grandpa and grandma will give you red envelopes."

The elders' New Year's red envelopes cannot be turned down, so Li Yi and Lin Lei'er went straight forward to receive the red envelopes, and then they thanked their grandparents.

Next, Fang Yuan and Tong Wenjie also gave red envelopes, and they also accepted them, and then thanked them again.

Li Yi touched the thick red envelope in his hand, thinking that he had received his pocket money.

And he no longer wants to be tricked into taking red envelopes on the grounds that "Mom will keep them for you first, and I will return them to you when you grow up".

After Fangyuan and Tong Wenjie finished paying New Year greetings to their grandparents, he took Li Yi and Lei'er outside to set off fireworks.

A few of them came to the open space, and set up several plates of fireworks brought from home one by one.

At this time, there are already various, colorful and radiant fireworks blooming in the sky, illuminating the dark night like day.

Fangyuan ignited the fuse, and with a "boom", a fireball jumped up from the ground with its tail and spread out in the air. This beautiful arc made everyone extremely amazed.

Following the fireballs one after another, everyone rushed to jump up and dance. This was their fireworks that couldn't wait to show off their abilities and compete with other people's fireworks.

On New Year's Eve, colorful fireworks bloom in the night sky, in various poses, some are like silver snakes dancing wildly, some are like peacocks opening their tails, and some are like blooming flowers.

They decorate the capital in a dazzling way, and the whole capital is really lit up all day long.

At this moment, everyone was very happy. They watched the long-lasting fireworks show here, and then returned home to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala.

········
After watching the Spring Festival Gala, the four people from Fangyuan did not go back to Shuxiang Yayuan, and chose to spend the night together here.

Before the break, Li Yi also sent a message with a few friends, saying "Happy New Year", and then he also received a reply letter from others.

Qiao Yingzi lay on the bed and replied under the quilt:
"Fang Hou, I really envy you, you can be reunited with a big family."

Li Yi replied immediately: "You don't have to be envious, you can do it in a few years."

"???"

"Haha."

Qiao Yingzi thought for a while, but didn't realize what it meant?
After a while, she realized what Li Yi meant.

"Bah, shameless."

"What are you thinking? Where are you going?"

"You dare to say it, but you don't dare to admit it? It's so shameless to ignore you."

Immediately, Qiao Yingzi threw down the phone very shyly, and then hid herself under the quilt, with her hands and feet still scurrying around inside, feeling like she was going crazy.

From time to time, I even giggled a few times.

"Hey, hey hey..."

If Li Yi saw this scene, he would definitely say, can this child be saved?

　Thank you book friends: Sai Tengtiao, don’t make a noise for the monthly pass, thank you two for your great support, and thank every friend who recommended, left a message, and followed up.
