The New Year's Day joy filled the courtyard of the Song Family in this special way.
Song Sancheng was invited by the villagers to accompany guests both at noon and in the evening. When he returned home tipsy at sunset, he boasted cheerfully:
"Tantan, our family is fortunate because of you. Everyone praised us at the meal today."
"And Qiaoqiao—come on, let Dad take a look at my son... Such a handsome young man! So incredibly smart!"
He's straightforward, and since inviting villagers to accompany guests is common, he didn't feel any change in how people viewed their family.
But now Song Youde has become picky, not quite impressed with others' good wine and dishes, and managed to bring his grown son home sober.
As he rubbed his hands by the stove, he sighed:
"In the future, in this village, our family won't be afraid of being bullied or wronged."
Song Tan gently smiled and made them honey water: "Of course."
