In the yard, Wu Yuan could not wait to share his red envelope with Li Yu. He opened the red envelope bag. Inside was a pair of sheep crutches made of ivory, each side carved with unique and lovely patterns.
“What’s in yours?” Wu Yuan looked at Li Yu’s red envelope, which was exactly the same ivory sheep crutch.
“Great, let’s play! Can you do that?” Wu Yuan turned into a young boy, reached out and grabbed the sheep crutch and it in the air, then caught it.
Li Yu also stretched out his small hand, grabbed his toy and made a cooing sound. When it came to playing human games, he didn’t really lose to Wu Yuan.
Yuan Xiang looked at the two little demons playing around in the courtyard and opened her red envelope. It was a gold coin, as in previous years, with the words “Great Fortune and Treasure” engraved on the coin.
“What is in yours?” She stretched her head to look at Nan He, “Oh, we got the same.”
In Nan He’s red envelope, a coin was also poured out, but the words “Great Fortune and Treasure” were changed.
These words were very common in the New Year. The red light couplets of every household could be found everywhere, appearing in pairs.
At this time, the two pieces of coins were placed together, it was especially like a pair.
Nan He looked at Yuan Xiang’s hand and looked at the one under his own claws. He seemed to like it very much. He used his paw to move the coin over. Finally, he got up and ran back to the bedroom to store it properly before he was relieved.
The sound of firecrackers in the town were heard one after another, small fireworks rose from time to time on someone’s roof, bursting into a lively and joyous atmosphere.
Wu Yuan and Li Yu were having fun on the snow.
Yuan Xiang drank a little, hugged the silver little wolf beside her on her leg and rubbed his fur.
There was a faintly low whistling sound in the sky. In the distance, there was a huge and weird demon with a thin head and a thin tail, but a swollen belly in the middle, like a chubby hot air balloon floating. It flew in the Celestial Wolf Mountain.
“What was that? It looks so strange,” Yuan Xiang asked in a daze.
“That’s a dragon. The dragon will return home on New Year’s Eve.”
“Dragon? Does a dragon look like that? Why is the dragon’s belly so big? Why didn’t I see it before the Chinese New Year?”
“He comes back once every sixty years. Once full, he returns with a dream for sixty years. The cycle repeats,” Nan He glanced at Yuan Xiang.
You were not born when I saw it in this world last time. But next time, we could still see him together.
“Hahaha, it turns out that a gluttonous one could also fly.” Yuan Xiang laughed, “Ah Nan, you have become so big, can you let me fly around on you?”
“Your hair is so soft, it must be as comfortable as lying on a cloud.” She stood up dazedly, picked up Nan He, rubbed her head against the silvery white hair, “It’s our Xiao Nan who is the best, beautiful and capable, so considerate and the hair is particularly so soft. I must make a bond with you and we will make… a bond right away.”
“You are drunk,” a low voice resounded helplessly.
“Nonsense, I can get drunk anywhere. I have no problem drawing ten heavenly arrays now. If you don’t believe me, I will draw them right away,” Yuan Xiang staggered down the stairs, slipped and fell down.
A strong arm embraced her. She faintly heard a sigh in a daze.
On the first day of the new year, Yuan Xiang woke up from a hangover.
She couldn’t remember how she got back to bed the previous night.
Anyway, at this moment, she took off her hairpin, took off her shoes and socks, her face was clean and she was nestled in the quilt comfortably.
Yuan Xiang sat up and rubbed her eyes. The first thing she saw was a fluffy ball on the bedside table, “Happy new year, Xiao Nan.”
The silver-white little wolf gave her an unknown look, shook his little ears, jumped off the cabinet and ran away.
Did she do something last night? Yuan Xiang tried hard to think about it and found her mind blank.
The first day of the new year was when guests came to pay a New Year greeting.
The first one to knock on the door was Zhu, Yuan Xiang opened the door and received a large basket of fresh camellia from his hands. She showed the camellia to Ru Shi.
“I can’t wear so many camellias. It’s a pity to leave them for nothing. Why don’t I make camellia cakes?” Ru Shi happily took the flower basket from Yuan Xiang.
Then the neighbors who walked frequently came to return gifts. Yuan Xiang brought home specialties from Dingzhou and distributed them to the neighbors before. As a result, they all brought generous gifts for the New Year.
Aunt Chen, who was opposite the door, carried two fish and a chicken, and stood outside the door chatting with Ru Shi for a long time. Her eldest son, Chen Xiong, dressed in a spirited outfit, stood behind his mother carrying something, with a red face as he quietly glanced at Yuan Xiang from time to time.

The girl from Aunt Wu’s family brought the wedding cake and pulled Yuan Xiang to blame, “Where are you going? I’m going out soon. We can go together.”
She was going to marry someone in Lianghe Town in the beginning of spring. It would be hard to return to her family in the future and she was reluctant to leave her childhood friend.
Yuan Xiang stretched out her hand to squeeze the hair of this friend who had grown up with her since she was a child and pinned a golden hairpin that the Lou family gave her.
