The meal started at three in the afternoon and lasted until dark, and only then did they begin to clear the table.
Dandan and Little Hai came running over. The moment they saw Grandpa Li, Li Xiangyang, and Lin Lan, they shouted, "Grandpa Li, Uncle Xiangyang, Auntie! Happy New Year! Time for red envelopes!"
"Alright! Your red envelopes have been ready for you for a while." Old Li looked at the two of them. "But let's get one thing straight: no buying any firecrackers to play with!"
The two of them nodded happily. "We know! You can blow your hand off!"
Li Xiangyang handed them each a red envelope, then gave the remaining two to Dandan and Little Hai. "Take these back for your brother and sister. When you get back, Uncle Xiangyang will set off some fireworks for you!"
"Okay!" The two of them agreed and ran off, pulling Little Douzi along by the hand.
A little while later, Xu Dong, Yao Xiuyun, and Yang Dingbang arrived. "Uncle Li, Happy New Year!"
