Amid the sound of firecrackers, Julian Mei's family was sitting around a big table, eating their New Year's Eve dinner in a lively atmosphere.
They raised their glasses together as their eldest brother Melixon stood up and gave a toast - "Happy New Year!"
There are many rules in my hometown of Baimei County, and relatives always have to toast each other when they have a meal.
Julian Mei actually hated this kind of formalism. He felt that if relatives were friendly and cordial, they would naturally take the initiative to toast and say some toasts. It would be embarrassing to wait for his parents to urge him to toast.
But as for the relatives on the paternal side, the relationships are very warm no matter in the past or present life, so Julian Mei is also happy to take the initiative to propose a toast.
