The New Year's Eve dinner refers to the dinner on the Lunar New Year's Eve. Its significance lies in family reunion and celebrating the New Year together, usually accompanied by staying up late and giving out red packets, among various other celebratory activities.
Before Jiang Feng was obliged to help Sir in the kitchen, spending time before the New Year's Eve dinner mostly meant idling away the hours in his room. This was how most of the Jiang family members spent New Year's Eve.
It could be said that, for the Jiang family members, New Year's Eve only came alive at the moment the New Year's Eve dinner began. The time before dinner was like a tasteless black-and-white print, with everyone idly waiting to eat, neither allowed in the kitchen nor willing to snack on anything else—just enduring hunger and biding time, waiting for the last and most splendid moment of the year to arrive.
But that was the New Year's Eve dinner of past years.
