Tang Chuxia didn't dare to play pranks with the couplets hung later on, fearing she might be disciplined by Madam Tang.
It was New Year's Eve, and every household was busy posting couplets and making dumplings, the Tang family was no exception. With so many people in the family, they made screens and screens of dumplings.
Tang Chuxia insisted on playing pranks by wrapping a few coins in some dumplings, claiming it was for good luck.
As it turned out, everyone got one except for herself.
"What's going on? Could it be that I will lose money next year?"
Tang Chuxia was not convinced, but Madam Tang wouldn't let her rummage through and told her to eat properly.
Helpless, Tang Chuxia kept a sullen mood, but at this time there was no Spring Festival Gala, no public festivities.
After eating, Madam Tang, together with Ah Duo and licorice, began to make sweet dumplings, as well as dough figures and dough lanterns that were to be used for lighting ceremonies on the Lantern Festival.
