Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1152: Celebrating the New Year

Lin Juhua is gone.

All the goodwill from the hometown went with her.

The eve of the lunar New Year is just days away.

The common saying goes: whether rich or poor, first have a good year.

Unlike the solemnity of last year’s holiday, the festive atmosphere of the New Year suddenly swept through the Big Courtyard, exuding a rich sense of the season.

Children, both older and younger, were gathering in groups, and the sound of firecrackers crackling could be heard intermittently from all directions.

At meal times, families from all over the country stationed there were showcasing their culinary skills, frying dumplings, twisting sesame sticks, steaming bean buns, steamed meats, and marinated dishes...

Busy stealing snacks, naughty little ones, adults laughing and scolding, the aroma wafting in the air...

All of this filled the Big Courtyard with laughter, stepping into this New Year’s of the eighties, it truly felt different.

Reflecting deeply on this unfolding scene, the Ping An Brothers intended to make up for the regret of not being by their mother’s side last year.

Once Zhou Jiao and Miao Lishan’s vacation started, the three big lads followed the mother-daughter duo around all day, acting as paymasters and bag carriers.

This series of actions made Miao Lishan smile from ear to ear, as Zhou Xiaozheng would say, he was almost awakened by his wife’s laughter even when asleep.

The Zhou family was jubilant, and the Cheng family was naturally no exception.

Although the eldest Cheng Sijin and his brother wouldn’t be able to return to Beijing to be with their elderly parents, they both had numerous descendants under their name.

Those kids, along with the Wen family’s three brothers, moved back and forth among the three families, bringing cheer to the Zhou family, not to mention that the Ping An Brothers had many friends.

The eve of the New Year marked the official commencement of the celebration.

Early in the morning, the Ping An Brothers went to the old house to post couplets, window decorations, and hanging lanterns, then went to invite Doctor Hu to join the celebration.

As expected, like every year, their Grandpa Doctor Hu refused to enter the Big Courtyard.

The reason?

Still the same, doesn’t like it!

With just three simple words, the Ping An Brothers didn’t insist. Seeing Aunt starting to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner, even the couplets were already pasted.

The three brothers cheerfully informed the old man that they would come over to pay him their respects on the first day of next year.

By the time they returned after getting everything done, it was already noon.

In the kitchen, Zhou Jiao was busy with the New Year’s Eve dinner and couldn’t attend to her two sons at the moment.

Instead, they chatted briefly with Miao Lishan, entertaining their grandmother, and quickly dashed into the kitchen.

"Mom, it smells delicious."

"Are we eating at noon or at midnight?"

Ping’an slapped his two younger brothers’ hands as they tried to steal fried meatballs, but couldn’t help grabbing one himself.

Zhou Jiao turned her head and smiled, "We’ll have a simple meal at noon, and then tonight after your Grandpa and Dad finish the celebration, we will have our family reunion dinner."

May 1st leaned over, sniffing the black pot on the stove, hmm, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was being prepared.

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows at the comment, casually taking over the spatula from her hand, "Mom, let me take over, you rest for a bit. Where’s Grandma Chen?"

"At the service club."

Ping’an swallowed his food, and when he finished, he asked, "Mom, I heard there are more than thirty thousand people at tonight’s Spring Festival Gala, aren’t you going?"
