New Year’s Eve, the night of family reunion.

There are very few members of the Rong family. When Rong Jin was not married, there were only three of them sitting together for reunion dinners every time.

Now that Rong Jin is married, the family has become a lot more lively. The New Year’s Eve dinner that originally only had three people has now become a dinner for four people.

Although there is only one more person, the happiness and joy have increased a lot.

In the afternoon, the Rong family gave all the servants a holiday, and only the housekeeper and Aunt Zhang remained in the old house.

The housekeeper and Aunt Zhang are the elders of the Rong family. They have been in the Rong family all their lives, but in the eyes of Mu Lan and Rong Jin, they have long become part of the Rong family.

Dumplings are the highlight of the New Year’s Eve dinner. In the afternoon, Li Qing and Mu Lan had already started making dumplings with bread.

Although Rong Jin doesn't know how to make dumplings, since Li Qing had a miscarriage, Rong Jin took the initiative to learn cooking in order to take better care of Li Qing. Although he is not as good as his mother and wife at making dumplings, the dumplings he makes are acceptable.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous. Although dumplings were very simple, they were the most indispensable dish.

"The fish is here." Aunt Zhang brought out the cooked fish.

"Auntie Zhang, housekeeper, please sit down and eat together." Old Master Rong said.

Aunt Zhang refused, "This...can't do, old chairman."

When Zhang Ma refused, the housekeeper also refused, "No, this is not in accordance with the rules, old chairman."

"Sit down if you are told to."

"Let's sit down and have dinner together, Aunt Zhang, housekeeper." Mu Lan also spoke up to persuade Aunt Zhang and the housekeeper.

"Auntie Zhang, housekeeper, let's eat together." Rong Jin stood up and wanted Auntie Zhang and the housekeeper to sit down and eat together.

"No, Master."

"Yes, Master."

"It's all right, sit down and eat together."

"Yes, Aunt Zhang, housekeeper, let's have dinner together." Li Qing stood up and walked to Aunt Zhang, wanting her to sit down and have dinner together.

"No, Madam, I'm just a servant."

"Auntie Zhang, housekeeper, the couple have stood up to ask you to sit down, and you still want an old man like me to stand up and ask you to sit down?"

"You have been in the Rong family for so many years and have watched Rong Jin grow up. You can be considered his elders. Sit down and have dinner together." Old Master Rong knew that Aunt Zhang and the housekeeper had dedicated their entire lives to the Rong family, and he had always respected Aunt Zhang and the housekeeper.

Aunt Zhang: “This…”

Rong Lao spoke again: "Sit down and eat together, Aunt Zhang, housekeeper, please sit down."

"Auntie Zhang, please sit down." Li Qing pulled Auntie Zhang to sit down at the dining table.

Rong Jin pulled the butler to sit down together, "Butler, please sit down."

When Mr. Rong saw that Aunt Zhang and the housekeeper had sat down, the smile on his face became more obvious, and he continued, "Okay, everyone is here, let's eat."

Mu Lan: "Let's eat, everyone."

"It hasn't been this lively for many years." Mr. Rong sighed.

Mu Lan felt the same way. Since her husband left, the New Year celebrations at home have never been as lively as today. "Yes, it has been many years since it has been as lively as today."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's celebrate the New Year happily today." Mr. Rong didn't want to recall the past anymore and took the initiative to drag the topic into a dead end.

Mr. Rong: "Everyone, pick up your chopsticks and eat more."

Mu Lan: "Okay, Dad."

Butler: "Okay, old chairman."

Aunt Zhang: "Okay, Chairman."

"Wife, eat more." Rong Jin sat next to Li Qing. After picking up the chopsticks, Rong Jin did not pick up food for himself, but picked up food for Li Qing instead.

"Ah."

Rong Jin continued to pick up dishes for Li Qing. Seeing that his wife was so thin, Rong Jin wanted to pick up all the dishes for his wife, but his wife always ate very little. "Eat more, you are so thin."

"Eat some of this." Rong Jin picked up some of Li Qing's favorite dishes.

"Eat some of this."

"and this."

In a short while, Li Qing's bowls were piled up into a small mountain.

"Enough, enough." Seeing that his bowls had piled up into a small mountain, Li Qing quickly stopped Rong Jin.

"Is that enough?"

"I can't eat so much, it will be wasted later."

"It's okay, eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, just wait for me and I'll eat it later."

"Eat some more of this." Rong Jin picked up some more dishes for Li Qing.

"That's enough, husband. The bowls are all full. No need to pick up any more food." Li Qing held Rong Jin's hand and told Rong Jin not to pick up any more food for her.

"Okay, then eat more."

"Ah."

"Sui Sui, you should eat more." Mu Lan also felt that Li Qing should eat more. Seeing Li Qing so thin, Mu Lan was always worried about Li Qing's health.

"Okay, Mom."

"Come on, let's celebrate." Mr. Rong picked up the glass, but the glass was filled with juice instead of wine.

Mu Lan: "Okay."

Li Qing: "Okay, Grandpa."

Rong Jin: "Yes, Grandpa."

"Okay, old chairman."

"Okay, old chairman."

Everyone sat down together and raised their glasses to celebrate, as the old year was about to pass and the new year was about to come.

"Come, it's time to eat dumplings." Aunt Zhang and Mu Lan brought out the cooked dumplings. These dumplings were made by Mu Lan and Rong Jin and his wife in the afternoon.

When making dumplings, Mu Lan and Li Qing put two coins in the dumplings, and no one knew who would get to eat the two coins.

"Come, Dad." Mu Lan used a spoon to serve some dumplings to Grandpa Rong.

"Ah."

"Madam, Master, let me serve you some dumplings." Aunt Zhang wanted to help Li Qing and Rong Jin serve some dumplings.

Li Qing was embarrassed to ask her elders to serve dumplings to her, so she refused Zhang Ma.

"No need, Aunt Zhang, we can do it ourselves."

"This……"

"Auntie Zhang, we can do it ourselves. Please sit down and eat."

Mu Lan: "Auntie Zhang, please sit down and let them serve the dumplings themselves."

"Okay, Madam, this spoon is for you."

"Well, thank you Aunt Zhang." Li Qing took the spoon and started serving dumplings.

The plump dumplings look like silver ingots after being boiled.

"Hubby, here." Li Qing served some dumplings to Rong Jin.

"Well, thank you."

"fine."

Li Qing had eaten too much before and his stomach was very full, so he just casually served himself two dumplings.

"You're only going to eat two?" Rong Jin saw that Li Qing only served two dumplings.

"I'm stuffed."

"Are you full?"

"Yeah." Li Qing nodded.

Rong Jin saw that his wife was full after eating such a small amount, and felt sad but didn't know how to relieve it.

Mu Lan: "When Sui Sui and I were making dumplings, we put two coins in them. I wonder who will be lucky enough to eat them."

"When did you put the coins in?" Rong Jin didn't know.

"At the very end, there were two dumplings left, and our mothers each put a coin in one of their dumplings."

This is a custom of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year, which means that whoever eats the silver coin will have good luck.
