On New Year's Eve afternoon, Xiao Jun helps Grandma clean the house, eyes the braised fish, and waits for his red envelope. He can't figure out why nobody touches such a delicious fish.
Cleaning Even Under the Cabinet
Grandma
小军，别坐着了，过来窗户。
Xiao Jun, stop sitting around and come wipe the windows.
Xiao Jun
奶奶，这块都干净了，为什么还要？
Grandma, this spot is already clean, so why do I still have to wipe it?
Grandma
三十晚上把家干净，明年才有呀。来，连柜子下面也别忘了。
If we clean the house well on New Year's Eve, we'll have good luck next year. Come on, don't forget under the cabinet either.
Xiao Jun
好吧好吧，那我完能吃糖吗？
Fine, fine. So once I'm done wiping, can I have some candy?
The Fish on the Table
Xiao Jun
妈妈，这条鱼好香，我能先一口吗？
Mom, this fish smells so good. Can I have just one bite first?
Mom
这条鱼今天谁都不能动，要留到明天早上。
No one is allowed to touch this fish today. We have to save it until tomorrow morning.
Xiao Jun
啊？这么香的鱼放一晚上，多啊！
Huh? Leaving such a tasty fish overnight—what a waste!
Mom
傻孩子，鱼留下来“”，意思是钱年年都用不完。
Silly boy, saving the fish stands for 'surplus every year'—it means there's always money left over each year.
The Red Envelope
Grandma
吃完饭，奶奶有东西给你。把手伸出来。
After dinner, Grandma has something for you. Hold out your hand.
Xiao Jun
！谢谢奶奶！我能现在打开看看吗？
A red envelope! Thank you, Grandma! Can I open it and take a look right now?
Mom
先帮我把这两张红纸贴到门上，贴好了再说。
First help me stick these two red paper strips on the door, and we'll talk once they're up.
Xiao Jun
门上贴了红红的字，桌上还留着那条鱼——我家的真足！
Bright red characters on the door, that fish still sitting on the table—my home is truly full of New Year spirit!
