When Ye Dashi's family and Ye Youran returned home, it was getting dark. Pan quickly went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and wash pots in preparation for cooking.

Ye Dashi helped fetch water and light the fire.

Ye Youran and Chunhua Chunwa were cleaning the house inside and outside.

The family worked hard for an hour before they finally sat down at the dinner table together. Just as they were about to start eating, they heard a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door." Chunwa put down her chopsticks and ran out the door. She ran to the courtyard door and asked cautiously, "Who is it? Who is knocking on the door?"

"It's me, your sixth brother-in-law."

The low and familiar voice made Chunwa stunned for a moment, and then she opened the door happily, "Brother-in-law, why are you here? Are you coming to my house to celebrate the New Year?"

"Yes, are you welcome?" Wei Zijin stepped in with long legs and walked into the house.

Chunwa followed behind and shouted happily, "Welcome brother-in-law, you are so welcome."

When Ye Youran and others heard the sound, they also put down their chopsticks and came out to greet him.

Ye Dashi smiled and said, "We were about to eat, but Major General Wei arrived just in time."

Pan also smiled and said, "The child's father, Xiaoyou, you accompany Major General Wei to sit in the house for a while. I will go to the kitchen to make you some more dishes to go with wine, and let the child's father accompany Major General Wei to have a few drinks."

Wei Zijin said with a smile, "Uncle Ye, Ye Siniang, this is at home, you don't need to be so polite, just call me Zijin."

"Zijin, let's go and sit in the room." Ye Dashi was no longer polite, greeted him, and went into the room.

With Wei Zijin around, Chunhua and Chunwa were embarrassed to serve the food, so the two siblings went to the kitchen to help Pan cook.

Ye Youran took out a jug of wine and two cups, poured a cup for each of Ye Dashi and Wei Zijin, then put the jug on the table and went to the kitchen.

"Siniang, I bought a lot of fresh ginger during the Chinese New Year. Let's make a dish of red oil ginger shredded pork." Ye Youran said while finding a large piece of ginger, "I'll make it."

"Okay, I haven't cooked this dish yet, so I'll learn it. If you like it from now on, I'll cook it for you more often."

Mrs. Pan was very smart at work. At this moment, she had fried a plate of dried bamboo shoots.

Chunwa ran over and said, "Mom, I'll bring it."

Mrs. Pan handed it to him and said, "Send it over and come back for dinner. The four of us will eat in the kitchen. Don't disturb your father and your sixth brother-in-law who are drinking."

In fact, she was worried that wealthy families had many rules. Rich people insisted that men and women should sit at different tables for seven years. If Chunhua and Xiaoyou were to go to the table to eat, she was afraid that Wei Zijin would laugh at them and the Ye family for not understanding the rules.

He was also afraid that Wei Zijin would look down on Ye Youran because of this.

Chunwa responded obediently, took the dishes and went out happily.

Not long after, shredded pork with red oil and ginger was also served.

Seeing that it was Chunwa who was delivering the food again, Wei Zijin said in disappointment, "Chunwa, ask your mother and two sisters to come out for dinner. They all say that as the locals do, do as the Romans do. Here, we don't have so many rules."

Shiban Town is relatively remote, and rural people have few rules. Men and women in a family sit together to eat. Unless there are guests, men and women will sit at separate tables.

Chunwa's eyes lit up, but she didn't go to the kitchen to call someone immediately, but looked at Ye Dashi.

Ye Dashi said, "Go and call out your mother and Chunhua Xiaoyou. We are all a family, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."

"Yes, Dad." Chunwa's eyes lit up, but she didn't go to the kitchen to call someone immediately, but looked at Ye Dashi.

Ye Dashi said, "Go and call out your mother and Chunhua Xiaoyou. We are all a family, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."
