Everyone went to Wuma Hot Pot for another reunion dinner, and they told everyone not to come back to work until after the eighth day of the New Year.
The family returned home to the sound of firecrackers popping one after another. They showered and had a comfortable night's sleep. Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang didn't get up until Little Douzi came knocking on their door.
"Mama, Uncle Xiangyang, we've all had breakfast already. Aren't you two getting up yet?"
"We're up!" Li Xiangyang got out of bed and dressed. He said to Lin Lan, who was also getting up and dressed, "Ah! I forgot to buy fish yesterday!"
'You have to have fish for New Year's Eve dinner. It's for a prosperous new year!'
Lin Lan thought for a moment. "I think I heard Dad say he bought some. You should go downstairs and check."
Li Xiangyang nodded. He opened the bedroom door and saw that Little Douzi was already gone. When he went downstairs, he saw the boy holding a puffed rice stick and munching on it.
