The happy little days of the Ye family

Mrs. Ye filled a big bowl with a large bowl of meatballs. There were various types of meatballs, and she piled the big bowl into a hill. She also filled a bowl with small twists.

Old Mrs. Ye took a basket, packed the meatballs and twists, and asked Mother Ye to deliver them to her parents' family.

Then I made three smaller portions, one for the village chief's family, one for Ye Qingmei's family, and one for Tang Yilin and Tang Erlin's families.

Ye Qingqing sent it to his good sister Ye Qingmei's family, Ye Xilin sent it to the Tang family, and Mr. Ye volunteered to run errands for the village chief's family.

When Mrs. Ye saw Mr. Ye's smile and his eyes full of bad ideas, she knew that this old guy was holding back his bad ideas.

However, Old Mrs. Ye didn't care about this childish old guy. She waved her hand and told Mr. Ye to go and come back early. There were still many things to do at home.

The first person to come back was Ye Xilin, holding a sugar triangle made by Aunt Tang and a small jar of plum wine.

Aunt Tang’s house has two plum trees, which produce many green plums every year. Aunt Tang makes a lot of plum wine every year.

Aunt Tang's plum wine is made with added sugar. It tastes very smooth and delicious. It is loved by women and children in the village. Many people in the village go to their house every year to exchange for plum wine.

Old Mrs. Ye also liked Tang's plum wine. Old Mrs. Ye picked up the plum wine and said with a smile, "I have to have a good drink at night."

Not long after, Mr. Ye came back with a small half bottle of wine with a wicked smile on his face.

"Hahaha, the village chief, an old drunkard, let me get the good wine he has collected for many years. Hahaha!"

Father Ye smelled the aroma of the wine, and the greedy thing in his stomach was aroused, "Dad, this wine smells so good."

Mr. Ye was very proud, "This is a good wine that the village chief has collected for many years. I spent a lot of effort to get this small half bottle from the village chief. The old guy is really picky."

Tangshan also came to join in the fun, "You can tell it's good wine as soon as you smell it. It's much better than what I bought in the county."

"This wine was brought back from Fucheng by the village chief after all the hard work. There is a very famous wine shop in Fucheng. The village chief brought it back specially when he went to Fucheng for business."

Tangshan smiled and said: "Then I have to try the wine in this city."

Tangshan had also heard of the wine shop in Fucheng, but he had never tasted it. Looking at the wine in Mr. Ye's hand, he felt a little itchy.

Father Ye was also greedy and looked at the wine in Mr. Ye's hand eagerly, "Yes, I have to try the wine in this city tonight."

Mrs. Ye saw that several people were only chatting but not working, so she urged them to go to work quickly. There were a lot of things at home today.

At this time, Ye Qingqing also came back, along with a plate of freshly made fried rice cakes and a package of peach cakes.

Immediately afterwards, Mother Ye came back with two large food boxes, which were filled with various exquisite pastries made by Grandma Ye.

Ye Qingqing and the other children felt happy when they saw all kinds of delicious food at home. It was great to celebrate the New Year. It would be great if every day was a Chinese New Year.

A friend from Tangshan County brought back some seafood, including dried squid, dried prawns, dried shrimps, dried kelp and some dried marine fish. They brought them all to Ye's house in Tangshan.

Ye Mu planned to make dried squid stir-fried with celery, dried shrimp stewed with radish, and dried shrimp and kelp soup. She had a big carp at home, so she didn’t make the dried sea fish for now.

In addition to seafood, Ye Mu also cooked several hard dishes, including boiled chicken, braised goose, sweet and sour pork ribs and braised carp.

Before the Ye family's New Year's Eve dinner was ready, the sound of firecrackers began to sound in the village.

The firecrackers of the Ye family were specially bought by Ye's father in the county. They were twice as big as the firecrackers in the town. Of course, the price is not cheap either.

Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye prepared the last dish, and Mr. Ye went to the yard to set off firecrackers with a big firecracker in his arms.

Worthy of being the king of firecrackers in the county, the Ye family’s firecrackers were particularly loud among the firecrackers in the village.

Father Ye said happily: "These firecrackers are good. I will buy their firecrackers next year."

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Mr. Ye took out the wine he snatched from the village chief's house.

The wine was originally only half a bottle, so Mr. Ye carefully poured half a glass of wine for himself, Father Ye and Tang Shan, and he felt a little distressed after pouring it.

Mr. Ye, Father Ye and Tang Shan drank this good wine, while the rest drank the plum wine given by Aunt Tang.

Mr. Ye stood up with a glass of wine, "Everyone has worked hard this year. I hope that next year will be as peaceful and everything goes smoothly for us as this year."

Everyone raises a toast together, and then drinks and eats.

Mr. Ye carefully tasted the village chief's collection. It was indeed a good wine. Father Ye beside him had already reached out to pour a second glass of wine.

As soon as he poured half of the glass, the jug of wine in his hand was snatched away by Mr. Ye. Father Ye muttered in a low voice: "Stingy guy."

Tangshan on the side also sighed: "The wine in Fucheng is indeed extraordinary. After the new year, I will ask the brothers of the escort agency to see if there are any escorts from Fucheng, and ask someone to help buy some."

Father Ye put his arm around Tangshan's shoulders and looked at Tangshan carelessly, "Brother Shan, I am also your good brother. You can share some with me when the time comes."

"Okay." Tangshan was very generous and agreed directly.

Plum wine is soaked in sugar. It tastes sweet and the alcohol content is not high. Ye Qingqing quite likes it. It is just like sugar water and has the green fragrance of plums.

It was the first time for Ye Xilin to drink. The plum wine was as sweet as drinking sugar water. Ye Xilin drank two glasses in a row. He was still chewing on the big chicken drumstick when he suddenly collapsed.

Ye Donglin, who was sitting nearby, was startled and quickly helped up Ye Xilin who fell on him. Father Ye saw that the boy was drunk.

Tang Xiaojing smiled and said, "Are you drunk now?"

He glanced at Ye Qingqing who was standing aside. After drinking three glasses of plum wine, Ye Qingqing still acted like a normal person.

Father Ye laughed so hard, "Hahaha, that brat Xilin's drinking capacity is too bad. He drank two glasses of plum wine. He is worse than Qingqing."

Ye's mother looked carefully and determined that Ye Xilin was just drunk. Then she felt relieved and patted Ye's father's arm.

"Stop laughing, just take Xilin back to the room and have a good sleep."

Father Ye picked up Ye Xilin. Not to mention it was quite heavy. When he came back after carrying Ye Xilin, Father Ye's hands were sore.

After Ye's father came back, he continued to drink with Mr. Ye from Tangshan. They should eat and drink when they should.

This New Year's Eve dinner was eaten from the sun setting on the mountainside until the moon was high in the sky.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Ye brought out some melon seeds and other snacks. Everyone cracked the melon seeds, chatted about village gossip, and celebrated the New Year with laughter.
