"Manman has not been easy this year." Grandpa Qiao started talking to the people at the table after drinking a little wine.

"But this house is indeed much more comfortable to live in than before."

Dad Qiao followed.

A few people chatted and looked at the group of children in the yard.

"Is Xiaoyuan's leg completely healed now?"

My eldest aunt Qiao Yun asked Mama Qiao.

"Okay, now I'm still in the recovery period. I can't lift heavy objects or stand for a long time. There's not much difference between now and before."

After saying this, others couldn't help but sigh.

"At that time, the leg doctor said that he could no longer stand up. The Chinese medicine doctor you are looking for is really capable."

When the second uncle talked about Qiao Zhiyuan's legs, he thought of Qiao Zhiyuan's previous car accident. At that time, his leg injuries were bloody.

I had to undergo several surgeries, and the broken bones in my leg were too badly broken.

When Qiao Zhiyuan underwent surgery, everyone felt uncomfortable. After all, a child with a promising future was ruined like this.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhiyuan's leg was already healed after he came back today.

"I can look for partners for Xiaoyuan and Manman. Now that our careers have started, we can think about starting a family."

Aunt Qiao Yun is an outgoing person with great social skills and knows a lot of people. She is actually a little happy to find a partner for her nieces and nephews.

If I can be a good matchmaker myself, I will feel very satisfied.

The eldest brother's children are loved as much as his own children.

After dinner, the family watched the Spring Festival Gala and chatted.

We started playing cards and chatting around the heating table.

Today we all have to keep the New Year's Eve together at home, and tomorrow will be the New Year.

Qiao Manman played with the children until after ten o'clock. The children in the village were called back by their parents.

Only Xiaopangdun, Qiao Luoluo and Qiao Wei were left.

It seems that there are still quite few children in the Qiao family.

Qiao Manman took the children back home.

The adults took the children to wash up, set off fireworks after watching the New Year's Eve, and then went to bed after setting off the fireworks.

Everyone takes turns to wash up.

Qiao's house now has five bathrooms up and down, so there is no need to worry about not being able to use them.

After all the children and adults had finished washing, there were only twenty minutes left before midnight.

The sounds of some fireworks and firecrackers were heard sparsely in the village.

After taking a bath, Qiao Luoluo looked curiously in the yard.

"Sister, these fireworks are so beautiful."

Qiao Luoluo said pointing to the fireworks in the sky.

"Our fireworks are definitely not bad either."

The fireworks we bought today cost more than 8,000 yuan.

The tradition of Western Province is to launch a fireworks offensive at midnight. Many people online joked that the fireworks offensive at midnight in Western Province is comparable to World War II.

Qiao Manman didn't feel much about it before. She thought that the whole country was the same as the Western Province.

Later I learned that other provinces were not allowed to set off fireworks, and if they were to be set off, they couldn't set off such a large display.

Many people here in Arbor Bay believe that fireworks can drive away the bad luck of the year and bring more prosperity in the coming year.

The host of the Spring Festival Gala is already counting down, "Nineteen eight seven six five four... three... two... one! Happy New Year!"

No one in Qiao's family was standing in front of the TV.

Three minutes in advance, the Qiao family had already set up the fireworks. At midnight, Qiao Manman, Qiao Zhiyuan, Qiao Zhihan, Huang Wei, Huang Wei and Qiao Luoluo were responsible for lighting a firework.

The adults took out their mobile phones one after another to record this unforgettable moment.

"biu~boom!boom!boom!"

After the fireworks were lit, they rushed into the sky.

Fireworks bloomed in the black night sky.

Everyone in the Qiao family had happy smiles on their faces.

The children continued to take out fireworks boxes from the door and light them. To prevent the fireworks that were just set off from being interrupted.

"These fireworks are so beautiful!"

Qiao Manman couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the fireworks all over the sky.

The fatigue and hard work of this year are all dispelled by the sound of fireworks at this moment.

Qiao Zhiyuan also raised his head and looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky. The colorful fireworks looked even more dazzling in the night sky.

I hope my family will be happy and healthy in the new year!

He silently made his wish in his heart.

The sky at Arbor Bay was lit up by everyone's fireworks at zero o'clock.

"It's so beautiful!" Qiao Zhihan couldn't help but praise it.

This was the first time he felt the spectacular fireworks show at Arbor Bay so deeply.

Fireworks are still prohibited in some areas of the county.

Everyone wanted to set off fireworks, but they restrained themselves a little.

Unlike here in Arbor Bay, everyone welcomes the New Year unscrupulously.

Qiao Manman bought a lot of fireworks, and they can't all be set off at once today. They can be set off again on the second, third and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

You should be able to use up this firework by then.

"Happy New Year, grandpa, mom, dad, brother, and all my family members!"

"happy New Year Happy New Year!"

Blessings from home also come one after another.

Everyone watched TV and chatted for a while before going back to sleep one after another.

New Year's Day.

After Qiao's mother woke up, she started kneading glutinous rice flour to make glutinous rice balls, and Qiao's father also got up.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt got up a little late. After washing themselves, they went downstairs to help Qiao's mother make glutinous rice balls.

The custom here in Western Province is that people are not asked to get up on New Year's Day, but glutinous rice balls are eaten early in the morning.

Qiao’s mother doesn’t like the quick-frozen glutinous rice balls bought in the supermarket, so she makes her own glutinous rice balls every year.

Unless you want to be lazy any year, let Qiao Zhiyuan buy frozen glutinous rice balls.

"Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law!"

"Happy New Year. The glutinous rice balls are ready. You can bring a bowl over and eat."

Mother Qiao took a spoon and served herself a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

"I left the rest there uncooked. When the children get up, they can just put it down and cook it themselves."

Mother Qiao said to her two aunts.

"Hmm, don't worry about them, they young people don't know how long they will sleep."

"I don't care, they will find food by themselves when they are hungry."

After saying that, the two of them served themselves glutinous rice balls and put them on the heating table.

People will come to Qiao's house to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Day, and Qiao's mother won't do anything today.

Today is a lazy day. I won’t work if I can.

A few people were lazily chatting in the sun in the yard.

From time to time, I met people walking in the village and wished them Happy New Year together.

Then we chatted again.

Qiao Manman woke up naturally in the morning, and it was already nine o'clock when he woke up.

I don't know why, but Qiao Manman feels that his cultivation has improved a little today.

Maybe some of the depression in my heart has dissipated after setting off the fireworks yesterday.

I feel like I have endless energy today.

Sure enough, it’s a new year and a new atmosphere! I have such a big surprise for myself on the first day of the new year.

I went downstairs and served myself glutinous rice balls, then went to the yard to bask in the sun and listen to the elders chatting.

Such a day is really pleasant.
