He smiled as he approached and greeted, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, happy New Year! Uncle, Young Uncle, you're looking even sharper in your New Year's attire this year."
"Haha, good to see you!" was the voice of Grandpa Li.
Grandma Li hurried over to the bullock cart to pick up the arrivals.
Hongji casually handed over the sack of pork he had at hand to his Young Uncle.
"This is pork!"
"Brother-in-law, such a generous gift!" Unlike his usual remark about the expense, Li Zhihao avoided it and instead went with festive well-wishes, then unceremoniously hoisted the hefty parcel single-handedly and carried it into the house.
Neighbors came out to join in the excitement, their eyes filled with envy at the sight of the gift.

Grandma Li headed to the back of the bullock cart to receive more arrivals, her eldest son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter, with Grandpa Li following.
