I missed my mother's call so I called back. Me: "Hello, mom, did you just call?"

Mother: "Mm."

Me: "Is something the matter?"

Mother: "Nope."

Me: "Oh."

Mother: "Is there something the matter with you?"

Me: "There's nothing too."

Thus, we both hung up.

During last year's spring clean*, my mother, grandmother and two of my aunts all came to help.
*[It is a tradition to spring clean the house before Chinese New Year.]

Taehyung was also busy wiping ornaments that were high up. I heard my mother shout, "Be careful!"

I looked back to see Taehyung wiping a blue and underglaze porcelain vase that we bought from a stall. It wasn't expensive but it was quite pretty, and also quite big......I watched as the big vase fell. I thought that Taehyung would immediately grab that vase but that guy, he tilted to the side and did a half roll in the air......The vase smashed onto the ground whereas he landed with his back to the shattered pieces in a very natural and unaffected posture.

The four elders stared at this idiot with astonishment.

I was also dazed.

A long time later, my mother started laughing and then my grandma and two aunties also burst into laughter.

That night, Taehyung hugged me and wailed, "People who have to take military training from time to time are angels with their wings snapped!"

During New Year's, we went to visit relatives. We went to see a distant relative who we didn't see often. My parents and Xiao Di went first so when Taehyung and I got there, everyone was already seated.

Xiao Di waved as soon as he saw me, "Sis, over here!"

Taehyung went over to greet my parents and then, said to Xiao Di, "Your clothes today sure are stylish huh?"

Xiao Di turned his head ignoring him, and said to me, "Sis, why'd you come so late?"

Taehyung: "Traffic."

Xiao Di looked at me and asked, "Are you coming home tonight?" Taehyung: "Of course we're going home, if we don't go home, where do we stay?"

Xiao Di finally looked at Taehyung and then intentionally said, "Oh? You're also here?"

Taehyung used a trembling voice to say, "Yeah- I've been here for over a thousand years- Finally someone sees me- After you eat, I'll go home with you-"

Xiao Di's face turned red.

All our relatives, including the host family, looked over.

Taehyung smiled, "I'm joking around."

Everyone laughed, including my stern father.

During New Year's, I won a thousand dollars playing cards.

Friend A: Jennie your luck sure is good ah.

Friend B: I lost so much this year, my luck is all kinds of bad! Speaking of which, Jennie, whenever we ask you to come play cards, you always refuse so who are you playing with ah? Winning over a thousand dollars?

Me: Taehyung ah.

Friend A and B: Shit!I feel like I have to explain it, his hand is always bad.

During fireworks. Xiao Di was on the balcony and Taehyung was outside. Xiao Di shouted, "Light the fire ah!"

Taehyung: "Light what, tell my wife to come out first ah."

I was standing inside the window, "It's too cold, you guys play."

Xiao Di: "My sis thinks it's cold so she doesn't want to come out, hurry up and light it, why are you being so slow ah!"

Taehyung: "You speak so much, why don't you come down!"

Xiao Di: "I'll come down!"

Then. Xiao Di ran downstairs. I waited for a long time but didn't see anything. I was worried that they might've started fighting, but as soon as I pushed the door open, I heard a sound and then, the sky was lit up with multi-coloured fireworks.

Downstairs, a guy shouted: "Happy New Year! Wife!"

"Happy New Year! Sis!"

"Gl u ckiches neues Jahr!"

"Nuovo Anno Felice! Sis!" "What kind of bird language are you speaking ah?"

"Yours is bird language, my classmate taught me this!"

"What kind of classmate ah?"

"He's Italian!"

"They're tricking you!"

"You're tricking me! Looking down on me!"

Me: "......"

In this life, I don't wish for riches, I just wish that every year will be like today and that every day will be just as happy.
