On New Year's Eve, Zhang Yu got up early. Here, the New Year's Eve dinner started at noon and was followed by eating, drinking, and chatting until the afternoon. The men would drink a lot and then rest, while the women would start making dumplings.
Even though Zhang Yu and the others were from the South and never had the habit of making dumplings, after discussing it, they decided that since they had moved to the Northeast, they should follow the local customs.
Despite Zhang Yu saying he didn't need help, Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong still came early in the morning to assist.
As for Zhang Hui, she still slept until noon. Zhang Yu had gotten used to it; counting on her for housework was impossible, unless she could marry well, like in her previous life, by marrying a Courtyard Child. Only then might she learn to do housework.
