As Zhou Ning listened, he leaned on Shen You's shoulder and fell asleep.

After watching over the New Year at around twelve o'clock last night, everyone went to bed, and Zhou Wan carried Zhou Ning to their room.

The next day we were going to eat dumplings, so the adults in the family got up early and started making dumplings.

And children have the privilege of sleeping in.

Liu Qingxiu repeatedly warned Shen You that Zhou Ning should not be woken up during the New Year and that she should be allowed to wake up by herself as this was the custom.

Shen You looked at Zhou Ning who was still sleeping soundly. If this continued, the dumplings would have to wait for her. Since she couldn't wake her up, she could always try another method.

Shen You ran out for a while, and when he came back he put his cold hands on Zhou Ning's face.

Naturally, Zhou Ning woke up with a hint of resentment.

Shen You brought new clothes and said, "Who told you to sleep so soundly? Hurry up and clean up. It's time to eat dumplings."

Zhou Ning's new clothes were made by Zhou Wan. The upper body is a lotus pink cotton coat and a red waistcoat, and the lower body is a red skirt with auspicious cloud patterns. Zhou Ning has gained a lot of weight and grown a lot taller now. Although she is still a little thin, she is no longer skinny.

Shen You used a red rope to tie two small buns for her hair and added silver bells to them.

"Our Aning looks really beautiful when she dresses up." Shen You said with a smile.

Zhou Ning yawned and said absentmindedly, "It's pretty nice. I'll take a nap. Remember to call me when it's time to eat."

Having said that, he went to sleep.

Shen You couldn't do anything about her, so he closed the door and went out.

Zhou Wan happened to pass by, looked at Shen You, and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, I'll get you something."

After that, he went to get a box, opened it and saw a pair of blue butterfly beads, and said: "I bought this for you. I wanted to give it to you during dinner, but I saw that you didn't have any hair accessories on your head, so you'd look better with this."

This pearl flower doesn't look cheap at first glance, and it's decorated with gold and jade, which looks very beautiful.

Shen You smiled and said, "It's really beautiful. Thank you, Sister Awan."

Zhou Wan smiled gently and said, "I'll put it on for you."

Before Shen You had time to go to the mirror to admire herself, she saw Qing Yi and his group arriving. Sure enough, Qi Ji and Bai Zhao were both wearing red clothes this time.

Shen You was naturally also wearing a red dress, which was also made by Zhou Wan herself. The style was similar to Zhou Ning's, but the lining was aqua blue and the hem was also light blue.

Shen Shiliu Qingxiu heard the noise and hurried out of the kitchen.

Qing Yi clasped his fists and said, "Happy New Year to you all."

Qi Ji and Bai Zhao kowtowed and wished a happy new year, saying, "I wish Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen good health and all the best."

This is the New Year's gift from the younger generation to the elder generation.

Shen Shi hurriedly helped the man up and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, and wish you all a happy new year. The eldest, the second, and the third, come out quickly and wish Mr. Qingyi a happy new year."

Shen Zhong, Shen Xin and Shen Yi came out together and greeted them happily.

Shen You was stunned by what he saw. He realized that New Year’s greetings were such a big deal. He was just thinking about whether he should kneel down as well, but his knees had already bent.

Liu Qingxiu lifted Shen You up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Happy New Year." Shen You said.

Liu Qingxiu asked in confusion: "Why are you wishing a happy new year as a little girl? Little girls don't need to wish a happy new year."

"Ah?" Shen You's eyes were as big as bells.

Liu Qingxiu laughed and said, "You must have been crazy during the Chinese New Year. Women don't need to kowtow to wish a happy new year. If you really want to wish a happy new year, you only need to say a few auspicious words. After dinner, your father and others will go kowtow to wish a happy new year, and we will stay at home to entertain the guests."

Is this still possible? But Shen You didn't think too much about it.

Qing Yi looked around and asked, "Where's Ah Ning? Why can't I see her?"

Shen You said: "A Ning is still sleeping."

Bai Zhao thought to himself: Why is she sleeping every time I look for her? Did she die of sleepiness in her previous life?

(Zhou Ning: Yes, do you understand the pain of early 8?!!!)

Finally, Zhou Ning woke up just before dinner when he smelled the food and crawled out to eat.

Bai Zhao laughed and said, "Ms. Zhou finally woke up. If you didn't know, you would have thought you were going to sleep until the end of time."

Zhou Ning glanced at him and said, "Give you some color and you will be brilliant, but give you some words and you will abuse them."

Bai Zhao was speechless again and walked away dejectedly.

Everyone took their seats, and Liu Qingxiu said that this plate was vegetarian, that plate was meat, and they could eat whatever they wanted.

The dumplings were of course delicious, as you could even find some extra cash from eating them from time to time. But you had to be careful, or you might choke.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Shi said cheerfully, "Both little girls are so sweet, let's say a few auspicious words."

Shen You smiled calmly and said, "Then I wish my father, mother, elder brother, second brother, third brother, sister Awan, master, Qi Ji, Bai Zhao, and...A Ning, peace, happiness, and abundance every year."

"Okay, okay." Shen Shi was delighted.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Ning, who still had half a dumpling in her mouth.

Zhou Ning: No one told me there was this segment! I want to go crazy! I don’t want to talk…

Finally, Zhou Ning swallowed the dumplings silently, stood up slowly, and said, "Well, then, I wish everyone present here to be happy and earn a hundred gold a month."

Bai Zhao was about to say, "You..." when Zhou Ning glared at him.

Bai Zhao shut up, and Zhou Wan came to Zhou Ning's rescue, saying, "Okay, what Ning said is really good."

Shen Shi also smiled, took out the red envelope and said, "Look at my children, they are all so well behaved. Come, this is a little gift from us as elders."

Everyone present, including Qi Ji, Bai Zhao, Shen Zhong and Zhou Wan, had a red seal.

It contained some small change of silver and copper coins.

Shen You went up to her and kissed Liu Qingxiu, then said with a smile, "Thank you, mother."

Qingyi also prepared a red envelope and gave it to the younger generations as well.

Although Shen Zhong is a junior, he still bought some small gifts for his younger brothers and sisters as well as Qi Ji and Bai Zhao. The girls got headbands and the boys got toys. Everyone got the same thing without any favoritism. He was a master of balancing things.

Zhou Wan naturally also prepared a gift, but Shen You's gift had already been given away. The Shen family knew about it, but Qi Ji didn't.

Qi Ji saw Shen You buried her head in her food and thought she was using eating to cover up her sadness.

Shen You:……?

After dinner, Qi Ji called Shen You aside, holding a wooden bird in his hand, and said, "This is your New Year's gift. You don't have to be sad just now. Maybe Sister Awan accidentally forgot it."

Shen You was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You misunderstood. This morning, Sister Wan saw that I was not wearing a headdress, so she gave me the gift in advance. Look, it's beautiful."

As she spoke, Shen You fiddled with the pearl flowers on her head, and the blue butterfly came alive and looked very lively.

Qi Ji was not embarrassed by this, but was relieved and said softly: "Sorry, I misunderstood."

Shen You looked at the carved bird and asked, "Is this just for me?"

Qi Ji hummed, and fearing that Shen You would not want it, he said, "We didn't have enough time, so I only carved one. I will give the gift to Ning later."
