There are not twenty but more than a dozen dishes on the table, which is the most in the history of the Zhang family.

Because their family eats together, they usually only cook three or four dishes at most on weekdays, but each dish is very large.

It is not unreasonable for a few half-grown children to eat the poor old man. They ate most of the food on the table, while the grown-ups drank wine and ate the food. Before eating much, they fell drunk on the table.

Zhang Shuchuan was also drunk, but others fell asleep when they were drunk.

When he was drunk, he kept laughing silly.

Xia Yunrou helped him back to the room. Seeing his appearance, she really wanted to capture him with a camera so that he could see how drunk he looked when he woke up.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law! Rourou! Where are you going?"

Xia Yunrou was just about to go out to get a bowl of hangover soup when she heard Zhang Shuchuan look at her and shout.

She knew that Zhang Shuchuan was not sober, but he could still recognize her clearly when he was drunk.

Just as she was about to open the door, she saw Zhang Shuchuan running over and hugging her.

"Rourou, my wife, you can't leave me! I can't live without you, wuwu!"

He mumbled, then started crying.

Tears and snot soaked Xia Yunrou's clothes in patches.

Xia Yunrou was helpless, holding his head and coaxing: "I won't leave until I leave. You go back to bed and lie down."

Zhang Shuchuan: "I want to lie down with you!"

With that said, he hugged Xia Yunrou and dragged her towards the bed.

Xia Yunrou was angry and funny. She wanted to break free, but was hugged tightly by Zhang Shuchuan.

She was helpless: "Can't you hold me like a princess? You have to drag me."

Zhang Shuchuan suddenly lifted her onto his shoulders, like a light doll.

Xia Yunrou gritted her teeth.

However, Zhang Shuchuan finally carefully placed Xia Yunrou on the bed, as if he was treating a fragile rare treasure, which made Xia Yunrou a little funny.

She was lying on the bed, teasing Zhang Shuchuan, who was also lying and looking at her silly.

"Tell me, who are you?"

Zhang Shuchuan showed his big white teeth and smiled: "I am Xia Yunrou's old comrade Zhang!"

Xia Yunrou: ...this sudden answer.

She teased again: "Which Xia Yunrou do you love?"

Zhang Shuchuan: “I love them all!”

Xia Yunrou: "So you don't love Rourou anymore?"

Zhang Shuchuan: "I love Rourou!"

After saying that, Xia Yunrou frowned, and then started to giggle again.

A sudden meow came from the rafters.

"It's so disgusting! Meow can't stand it anymore!"

Xia Yunrou rolled her eyes at it, "Why don't you leave?"

"Meow, let's go now! Be careful, little bastard, don't do anything shameful!"

After saying that, Xiu Miao disappeared.

At this time, Zhang Shuchuan finally closed his eyes and snored.

Xia Yunrou covered him with a quilt and went out.

After everyone finished eating outside, they started kneading bread and dumplings.

They come from the north, and they must eat dumplings during the New Year, otherwise they will not have a complete New Year.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the price of flour has increased again, but it is still sold out.

Some of the officials in the capital came from the north, and this New Year custom has been preserved.

But for those born and raised in the south, they eat glutinous rice balls during the Chinese New Year.

Half of the girls and boys are from the south. It was the first time they saw dumplings made during the New Year. They were very curious and found them very fun.

Especially a chubby white dumpling, which looked delicious even though they had just eaten.

In the afternoon, the men all sobered up, holding their groggy heads, and asked the boys to hang lanterns.

Zhang Shuchuan didn't know what year he slept until tonight, but when he woke up, his head felt swollen.

He didn't see his wife being a little panicked at first, but when Xia Yunrou's voice came from outside, his heart suddenly dropped.

He jumped out of bed, stretched, and strode out.

Old man Zhang was watching several of his grandsons write couplets, and none of them were very satisfied. When he saw Zhang Shuchuan coming, he felt like dragging him over to write.

If Zhang Shuchuan had asked him to write when he first came here, he would have been a little hesitant because his handwriting was really not that good.

However, after reading for a period of time and practicing calligraphy every day, I feel that I have improved a lot.

So, he picked up the brush boldly and wrote a couplet in a smooth and flowing manner.

"Yes, just choose this one!"

Old man Zhang looked at it with satisfaction, and then asked the boy to take it and stick it on it.

Because Zhang Shuji and Zhang Shuyun have been reading and memorizing, they have much less time to practice calligraphy, and their handwriting looks average.

There are a few half-year-olds who want to play every day and are quite serious in class, but it is a bit difficult for them to be patient and practice calligraphy well.

So when it came to writing couplets, Old Man Zhang made another decision.

They have also been making some paper intermittently now, but it is not enough to sell in Zhang's rouge and gouache shop.

It seems that after the new year, we still need to add more manpower, and strive to open a special paper store after the new year, selling all kinds of paper.

This is still Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou. Whether they are wiping their noses or going to the toilet, they must use paper.

Old man Zhang thought, ordinary people like them are so particular, wouldn't those wealthy people be even more particular.

Paper or cloth, which one is more cost-effective, of course it is paper!

Old man Zhang was thinking about the future arrangements for the paper mill, and then his thoughts turned to his grandchildren.

Nowadays, only Zhang Shuchuan's calligraphy can be used, but scholars pay attention to the calligraphy of the person. If the calligraphy is not good, the examiner will not be able to endure to read it.

Therefore, this word is still very important.

This word needs to be assigned to a few grandsons to practice!

They can practice on their own paper. If they practice well, they are willing to make less money!

A few half-year-olds didn’t know that their hard days would begin after the new year.

At this moment, they were having fun in the courtyard with Shi Wanyi.

The meal in the evening consisted of dumplings, which made everyone feel full. After eating for a while, they washed up and went to bed.

On the second day, Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou were awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

Xia Yunrou dug out new clothes, washed up with Zhang Shuchuan, put them on, and then went out.

Seeing everyone wearing red festive new clothes, I couldn't help but feel happy.

Several children gathered around and chattered to ask for red envelopes. After receiving the red envelopes, they clasped their hands and bowed cutely to thank them, which made everyone laugh.

All the boys and girls of the Zhang family gathered in the flower hall, looking forward to it.

During the New Year's dinner yesterday, Old Man Zhang told them that today when they gather in the flower hall, Old Man Zhang will hand out New Year's red envelopes and bonuses.

I heard the word bonus from Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunrou.

Old Man Zhang felt that there should be celebrations all year round, and although they had experienced a lot this year, leaving their hometown and coming to the capital, they had now settled down in the capital and their lives were getting better and better.

It seems good to give bonuses during the new year, and it will be more motivating next year.

So he generously gave everyone a bonus of five taels, plus a red envelope of one tael.

All these girls and boys were so happy and excited.
