Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 165 Happy New Year to all readers!

That's right. Zhou Zhenghao is over forty and still unmarried. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he had a wife before, who sacrificed her life before the liberation.

The organization did want to introduce him to someone, but he wasn't willing, so the matter was delayed.

Bai Jing was joining this place for the first time, so she listened without saying a word.

The same applies to Lin Huayu.

However, he had been through it before, so he didn't object to Shao Guodong's actions at all. It's not easy to maintain one's original aspirations on this path.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite good, and Zhou Meilian even took out a red envelope to give to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing wanted to postpone, but after seeing that Team Leader Lin and Leader Zhou had also given her red envelopes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

After all, she was the youngest besides Shao Jianjun.

After accepting the red envelope, Bai Jing thanked them, and everyone laughed at her reaction.

Everyone enjoyed the lunch.

Bai Jing couldn't stay long in the afternoon either, since Director Shao and Aunt Zhou still had to go out.

However, she ran into Team Leader Lin here and gave him the New Year's gift she had prepared for him.

When Lin Huayu received the gift, he looked surprised. "No, there's one for me too."

Seeing this, Bai Jing didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, and then rode away on her bicycle.

You need to press the pedal harder than usual.

Lin Huayu was both amused and exasperated as he watched her hurried figure disappear into the distance.

However, he was also happy, at least he felt that Bai Jing was someone who could be cultivated.

When I got home, the house had already been taken over by several little ones.

When Bai Jing returned, she saw them playing around in the open space of the yard.

"Big Sister." Apart from Bai Ling and Bai Yumeng, the other five younger ones all called out in unison.

Their shouts also alerted the adults who were busy at work.

"Xiaojing's back! Have you had lunch yet?" Third Aunt was the first to come out.

She just happened to come out to get firewood, and that was quite a coincidence.

"Third Aunt." Bai Jing was very happy to see her relatives arrive.

During the Chinese New Year, the whole family should get together.

Because this is what celebrating the New Year is all about.

"When did you arrive?" Bai Jing asked as she parked her car and walked toward her third aunt.

“We arrived shortly after you left, worried that your parents might be too busy. We don’t have any relatives in town anyway, so we came early.”

The Bai family had just arrived in town and weren't very familiar with their neighbors. After all, everyone was at work on weekdays and didn't really spend much time with their neighbors.

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the kitchen.

Everyone was working in the kitchen.

Some were washing vegetables, some were killing chickens and cleaning meat, and some were frying dough sticks; everyone had something to do.

Bai Jing joined in immediately after entering.

The busiest spot right now is the stove; they're frying dough sticks.

She also saw her second sister and Yumeng helping out while eating, and they looked so happy.

Bai Jing stepped forward, grabbed a piece of candied fruit, and put it in her mouth. It had just been sprinkled with white sugar by her second sister, and it was incredibly sweet.

"Big sister!" Upon discovering that her things had been stolen, Bai Ling immediately cried out sharply. Those were things she had her eye on for a long time; she wanted to eat them.

"What are you yelling about? Just make another one. Look, didn't Second Aunt fry another one?"

The kitchen became lively again after Bai Jing joined in.

The children's playful noises made all the adults laugh.

"Alright, alright, there's more." Second Aunt took out a freshly fried fruit and handed it to Bai Ling. "Your sister just got back, let her eat first." An Fu said.

Bai Ling looked helpless. "Fine." What else could she do? But the fruit smelled really good, and she wanted to eat it.

As everyone sped up their activities, firecrackers went off outside. Children love firecrackers, and sure enough, upon hearing the sounds, they started arguing with the adults about setting them off.

Bai Quanfu was surrounded by children. "Put it down, put it down right away, wait for me to cut a piece of meat."

Although the "Four Olds" are being destroyed now, people still have a certain reverence for ghosts and gods.

This meat and wine are for those who are respectful.

Shortly after the three cups of wine were filled, Bai Quanfu and his two younger brothers each poured a cup of wine onto the ground as a tribute to their ancestors.

It's just that you can't buy paper money these days, otherwise it would be even more complete.

After all the ceremonies were completed, the children were taken to the yard to set off firecrackers.

Soon after, firecrackers went off in the Bai family courtyard.

The people busy in the kitchen all had joy and smiles on their faces.

Someone murmured something like "how nice," which pulled everyone's thoughts back to the past.

Their memories only stopped when the firecrackers ceased.

"Happy New Year, sister-in-law!" Li Zhaodi shouted in a clear and loud voice to her sister-in-law who was not far away.

She knew in her heart that her family's current prosperity was all thanks to Xiaojing.

Even if her man is capable, he's not as capable as Xiao Jing.

Zhang Chunrong wasn't to be outdone, saying, "Happy New Year, sister-in-law."

Several younger members of the family also greeted everyone with a Happy New Year.

"Haha, good, good, good, everyone's happy."

The air was filled with joyful and festive sounds, both inside and out.

The firecrackers stopped, and the kitchen began serving dishes out.

The figures went in and out, and it took a while before they all gathered at the large table in the main room.

As the eldest brother, Bai Quanfu raised his glass first and said, "This is the first time that all of us brothers have gathered together to celebrate the New Year since we got married. It was my fault in the past, which made you all suffer. I'll drink this glass first."

After saying that, he drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

As he raised his second glass, Uncle Bai and Uncle Bai also stood up. "This glass is for you, brother. Thank you for taking care of my family and children before." He tilted his head back and emptied his glass.

When it came to the third cup, the two brothers naturally couldn't let their eldest brother drink alone. "Let's drink this cup together, brothers, and wish each other a better future."

Bai Quanfu smiled and said, "Okay, I wish us all the best in the future."

The three of them raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

Next, everyone raised their glasses together.

Bai Jing and the other children did the same, but they drank soda.

I must say, drinking soda in the dead of winter has a unique flavor.

The New Year's Eve dinner was essentially started over these few drinks.

Next came the feasting and drinking.

The adults chatted and laughed, while the children scrambled for food, creating a lively scene.

Halfway through the meal, the adults took out the red envelopes they had prepared.

"Haha, today is a happy day. Come on, let your uncle give you lucky money." Bai Quanfu spoke first, taking out the red envelope in his hand. "Xiaojing, this is yours."

Everyone has it, from the largest to the smallest.

After Bai Quanfu finished, it was Luo Chunhua's turn.

Send it to your family; she'll be happy if you prepare an extra one.

It also starts from large to small.

They received two red envelopes at once, and everyone was overjoyed, thanking them repeatedly.

Bai Jing was infected by the atmosphere around her, and she felt incredibly lighthearted.

Happy New Year! Happy New Year to all our readers!

Wishing everyone good health, all the best, and endless wealth in the new year.
