Post-New Year's Routine 3: It's already past noon, time to find a...

It's already past noon, time to find a place to prepare lunch. A whole roasted lamb won't be ready to eat for at least three hours.

They quickly found a prime location and everyone started preparing lunch.

Cheng Xiuying slaughtered the sheep directly. Sheep's blood is a good thing and must be saved to make mutton offal soup later.

Both sheep were slaughtered together; one was eaten at noon, and the other was eaten slowly.

We haven't slaughtered the wild rabbits yet; let's keep them for now. We'll have enough mutton to eat.

Yu Songyan made ample preparations for this trip up the mountain. He not only brought various seasonings, but he also brought his family's iron pot.

First, she stewed a nourishing mutton offal soup in an iron pot. Yu Jiajia also added some ginseng rootlets, lingzhi mushrooms, astragalus, and goji berries, all of which were produced by the Space Farm and had visible medicinal effects.

Another large, fat sheep, with its head and feet removed, was marinated in Yu Songyan's secret sauce and then roasted directly on a rack.

Sheep's head and trotters are braised together and eaten.

Since no one was hungry, we skipped the lamb skewers and just waited to eat a whole roasted lamb and drink a nourishing lamb offal soup.

Everyone was chatting around the fire when the topic turned to martial arts. Yu Songchuan thought he was the strongest and that his Yu family was invincible.

His overconfidence led to him being besieged.

Cheng Xiuying couldn't stand Yu Songchuan's arrogant and conceited attitude, and she said, "Where do you get your confidence from?"

Yu Jiamin looked Yu Songchuan up and down: "Is the Yu family invincible?"

Yu Songyan: "Your second sister-in-law can easily handle you." He definitely can't beat her, but his wife is incredibly powerful.

Qi Yan chuckled softly.

Yu Jiajia: "Come on, I'm the weakest in our family. Let's have a couple of moves. You have to beat me first."

Yu Songchuan may seem carefree, but he was not careless when facing his fourth sister, who was the weakest in the family. In the fight, his movements were flawless, but he definitely held back. If he hurt his fourth sister, he would be heartbroken.

Yu Jiajia failed to lock down Yu Songchuan several times, lacking strength, but fortunately, she was fast enough. However, after more than ten rounds, Yu Jiajia gradually fell behind. Yu Jiajia was afraid of pain and always prioritized protecting herself, while Yu Songchuan was not; he was not afraid of pain, and Yu Jiajia quickly lost.

Yu Songchuan didn't feel particularly proud of beating his fourth sister. He first praised Yu Jiajia for being very capable, saying that if he had been a little careless, he would have lost.

Yu Jiamin also went to test how powerful Yu Songchuan was. The two fought with "bang bang bang" sounds, which was more exciting than watching a martial arts blockbuster. Yu Jiamin was strong and her attacks were accurate and ruthless. Yu Songchuan was not to be outdone. In the end, Yu Songchuan narrowly won, grabbed Yu Jiamin's arm, threw her to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, and landed a punch on her face.

After the fight was over, Yu Jiajia rushed over and asked, "How are you?"

Yu Songchuan helped Yu Jiamin up; both of them were alright, and they had a great time fighting.

Yu Songchuan felt he still needed to practice more. His third sister was really strong; one punch landed on his shoulder, and it felt like his shoulder was about to break.

Fortunately, he has strong bones.

Yu Jiamin also felt that she needed to practice and learn more, as Yu Songchuan's moves were too tricky.

Yu Songchuan: "I, the Yu family, am invincible."

Qi Yan wanted to give it a try.

Yu Songchuan: "Second sister-in-law, let me have a break. This kind of 'wheeled war' is not a martial arts game."

His second sister-in-law was pregnant, so he dared not lay a hand on her.

After watching the three children fight, Cheng Xiuying felt somewhat withdrawn. Could she beat Si Bao? Yes, she could, because Si Bao's weaknesses were too obvious, and she didn't want to get beaten up and lacked experience. But could she beat Yu Jiamin and Yu Songchuan?

We can't beat them.

It's truly a case of the new generation pushing the old one aside, while the old one is left to die on the beach.

Yu Jiamin and Yu Songchuan both came to ask Yu Jiajia for advice on those few short combos she had just used. They were all techniques from grappling, and Yu Jiajia hadn't used them well, but those short combos were really powerful.

Yu Jiajia, always eager to teach, generously shared her knowledge with everyone.

Time flies. The nourishing mutton offal soup simmers and bubbles, its milky white color making it look delicious. The whole roasted lamb sizzles and releases a rich meaty aroma; sprinkled with barbecue seasoning, it's ready to eat too.

During this time, Cheng Xiuying also prepared a few vegetarian dishes: stir-fried mushrooms, cold black fungus salad, and cold scallion and garlic sprout salad.

Eat meat and drink soup heartily. When you get tired of the food, have some appetizers.

A large, fat sheep was eaten up by a group of people.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared to descend the mountain.

As they walked, they gradually got separated.

Finally, Yu Jiamin and Yu Songchuan, who were left behind, exchanged a glance and decided to go together.

Yu Jiajia and Lu Chenzhou walked alone. With such a beautiful view, it would be a shame not to hold hands. A kiss would be fine, but they ended up with a mouthful of mutton and garlic.

Yu Jiajia pinched Lu Chenzhou's abs, watching Lu Chenzhou blush, his heart pound, and his breathing quicken, and she found them even more appealing to touch.

Lu Chenzhou had completely figured out Yu Jiajia. He would do exactly what she wanted to see, and he hoped to get married as soon as possible.

Along the way, they also found three wild ginseng roots, the largest being sixty or seventy years old and the smallest twenty or thirty years old. Although Yu Jiajia was not short of ginseng, she was determined to take them when she came across them. She didn't even bother to tie them with the little red rope and started digging them up directly.

They'll continue to be raised in the space farm.

Yu Jiajia was too lazy to dig up the astragalus she encountered herself, since she had too many in her space farm, so she asked Lu Chenzhou to dig them up.

I also picked some wild berries, but they were a bit sour and astringent, not as tasty as the fruit from the space farm.

She skipped and hopped down the mountain, and even had Lu Chenzhou carry her for a while. It wasn't that she was tired; she simply didn't want to walk.

Lu Chenzhou kept thinking about why he didn't kiss him. Was it because he wasn't dressed up well enough today?

The group of people who had gotten separated reunited at the foot of the mountain and went to ride bicycles home.

When he got home, he found He Yuanzheng there. He had rushed home after finishing his mission. He missed Jiamin terribly. But when he got home, he quickly found that the house was clean and tidy, just like when he left. There were no signs of life. Where was Jiamin?

After he left, did he move in with his parents?

He was eager to see his wife, so he came to the Yu family's house first. He waited at the door for a long time before Old Man Yu finally returned. Seeing him at the door, Old Mrs. Yu opened the door for him and let him in. She also poured him a glass of water. "Jiamin and the others went to the mountain to play. They should be back soon. Have you eaten? If you're hungry, go to the kitchen and cook something for yourself. There's meat and eggs. You can cook whatever you want. I have an urgent matter to attend to and have to go out first." He hurriedly grabbed his things and left.

He Yuanzheng waited for almost two more hours before finally seeing his wife.

Yu Jiamin hadn't seen He Yuanzheng for a long time and missed him terribly. With a concerned look, she touched He Yuanzheng's face and said, "You've gotten darker and thinner. Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I knew you were coming back today, so I didn't go out."

Fake.

"I dreamt that you came back just two days ago, and you really did come back."

It's fake, I wasn't dreaming.

"Why have you been gone for so long? I've been worried about you every day."

It's fake, I'm not worried.

"I kept missing you at home, so I went back to my parents' house to stay."

It's fake; I never thought about it.

But these lies made He Yuanzheng beam with joy and feel completely at ease.

Cheng Xiuying also expressed her concern and affection for her son-in-law. After her daughter and son-in-law finished speaking, she said, "You're back from the expedition! Let's have mutton soup and hot pot tonight to celebrate!"

He Yuanzheng was touched. As soon as he returned, he ate mutton and said that there was no need to go to so much trouble.

After a lively meal, Cheng Xiuying brought out a leg of lamb and a live rabbit for He Yuanzheng, instructing Yu Jiamin, "Make sure Yuanzheng gets some nourishment; he's so thin."

He Yuanzheng was eager to go home and talk to his wife.

The next day, after getting off work at noon, Yu Jiajia made plans with Lu Chenzhou to have seafood that day.

Let's kiss before we eat.

Adding yesterday's.

Kissing is a matter between two people, and Lu Chenzhou grasped the right balance, letting Yu Jiajia take the lead while also making her feel comfortable during the kiss.

We must exercise restraint and strive for healthy and sustainable development.

After climbing the mountain, we'll also go boating on the lake.

It was another Sunday, and the two went boating on the lake. Yu Jiajia prepared strawberries, apples and other fruits, while Lu Chenzhou also prepared a lot of fruits and snacks from the greenhouse. Sitting on the boat, they held hands, kissed, and ate fruit, and their relationship gradually warmed up.

Lu Chenzhou tentatively brought up the topic of marriage, only to find that Yu Jiajia didn't want to get married, feeling that she was still too young.

She countered, "Why are you in such a hurry to get married? Isn't it better to date?"

Lu Chenzhou certainly thought it was a good idea, but people always want more; he wanted to get married and have a future together.

Yu Jiajia cupped Lu Chenzhou's face in her hands and bit his lip: "Can we talk about it next year?"

"Okay." Lu Chenzhou guided her to kiss him deeper and hold him tighter.

After dating for a while, Cheng Xiuying started urging Lu Chenzhou to get married. Couples in the throes of new love often lack boundaries, and if Lu Chenzhou did anything unmarried, she would want to beat him to death.

Yu Jiajia looked at Cheng Xiuying with her big, watery eyes: "Mom, are you annoyed by me? Do you want me to get married?"

Cheng Xiuying: "...Sibao, how could Mom be annoyed with you? Mom wishes you could stay at home forever."

Cheng Xiuying's attempts to urge Lu Chenzhou to get married failed, so she could only tell him to be mindful of his behavior.
