Chapter 276: 099: A very happy New Year, a mysteriously strong and foolish tycoon_6
So, sweet and sour pork with pineapple is also very good for toning the glutes. As all of the dishes had some meat in them, Ni Yang made vegetable tofu soup. The vegetable tofu soup not only dissipates the heaviness, but also has excellent slimming effects.
Busy till a little after five in the afternoon, Ni Yang finally prepared a table full of dishes.
By then, Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui were already setting the table outside in the yard for the ritual offering to heaven and earth.
Ni Yang placed three meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes on the table, setting nine pairs of chopsticks and nine wine glasses, each filled with wine. After the offerings were arranged, Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui burnt incense sticks and spirit money on the side while Ni Yang threw out a string of lit firecrackers.
The red paper from the firecrackers dropped onto the white snow, resembling red plums blooming fiercely against the snow, appearing rather picturesque. Then, the sounds of firecrackers began to be heard all around.
The sound of firecrackers represents bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, so no matter how poor a family is, they would set off a string of firecrackers at this time.
After setting off the firecrackers, it is customary to bow in reverence to heaven and earth. freёwebnovel.com
Ni Yang took this act seriously and performed a few deep bows.
Having paid their respects to heaven and earth, they all went back inside to enjoy their meal.
It seemed as if little Ni Yun could sense the festive atmosphere. Sitting in her stroller, she excitedly watched Ni Yang and Ni Chenggui moving dishes from the kitchen to the living room.
With a table full of food and smiles on their faces, the new year had arrived.
“Mom, Aunt Ni, I raise my glass to you both. May you both become increasingly youthful and beautiful, and find happiness soon.” said Ni Yang, standing up with her wine glass in hand.
Ni Chenggui laughed and replied, “And Auntie wishes that your business will boom even more, and you’ll become a wealthy woman one day!”
Little did Ni Chenggui realise that what she said would actually come true!
Not only did Ni Yang become a wealthy woman, she became the most eyed among them.
Halfway through the meal, Ni Chenggui took out a thick red envelope and gave it to Ni Yang, “Yangyang, this is Auntie’s New Year gift money for you, you better not think it’s too little!”
Ni Yang took it with a grin, “Thank you, Aunt Ni.”
Ni Chenggui took out another envelope and stuffed it into little Ni Yun’s arms, “May our Yunyun become increasingly beautiful and intelligent as she grows, just like her elder sister.”
