Chapter 284 New Year's Eve, 1983

Han Jinghuai thought that durian was a very strange fruit. He had never seen it before.

Out of curiosity, he collected the durian seeds one by one and prepared to try planting them in his own space.

Seeing this scene, Xu Wanning curled her lips and was about to say that even if a durian tree was grown from a durian seed, it would not bear fruit.

But then he thought again, space has always been a magical existence, why not let Han Jinghuai give it a try, what if it succeeds?

Han Jinghuai quickly planted the durian seeds in the space and poured well water on them.

"Wife, do you think this thing can make you rich?"

Xu Wanning thought about it for a while, and she felt that it should be possible, but the result was quite bad.

"Durian trees are very demanding on the climate. Even if they sprout, it's not certain whether they will bear fruit."

Han Jinghuai's face was full of regret. If it couldn't bear fruit in space, then this kind of fruit must be too difficult to grow.

In the evening, Xu Wanning and her mother cooked dinner together, including braised spareribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, pickled fish, braised prawns, and more than a dozen other dishes.

The whole family gathered together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner in a lively atmosphere.

We also made dumplings with four different fillings so that everyone could have their favorite filling.

After the little dumpling had eaten his fill and played for a while, he began to feel sleepy.

Xu Wanning had no choice but to carry the little guy back to the room to sleep. After coaxing the little guy to sleep, she came out to stay up all night with everyone.

Xu's mother and father were talking about the past, while Xu Wanning and Han Jinghuai sat there quietly listening.

Life was still very difficult for the older generation. Xu Wanning couldn't even imagine being an old woman. Fortunately, she was in her seventies. If she was in her fifties, it would have been terrible.

Dabao and Xiaobao also gradually felt sleepy and kept yawning.

After a while, the two little guys fell asleep on the sofa.

Han Jinghuai, the old father, had no choice but to carry them back to their rooms one by one to sleep.

The family chatted late into the night and began to feel sleepy, so they each went back to their own room to rest.

...................

On the first day of the New Year, everyone greeted each other. Lin Qiqi, Wang Min and others came to greet Xu's father and mother.

Tian Xiuying also invited her mother-in-law to spend the holiday with her, and today she specially brought her whole family to visit Xu's house.

Xu's mother invited them to have dinner at her home.

Maybe it was because older people had more common topics, Xu's mother and Tian Xiuying's mother-in-law had a very happy chat.

When I came here, I heard that the Xu family took good care of their son and daughter-in-law, and the old lady even brought a lot of dry goods from the mountains.

Looking at the pile of dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots, Xu Wanning recalled the time when she was in Liujiagou. It was she who taught the villagers how to make dried bamboo shoots!

In the past, the villagers thought fresh bamboo shoots were not tasty, but she taught them how to blanch them. If they couldn’t finish them, they could dry them and they would not go bad no matter how long they were kept.

In this way, the villagers of Liujiagou began to eat bamboo shoots.

At noon, Xu Wanning specially fried a large plate of dried bamboo shoots and stewed chicken soup with mushrooms. The dried bamboo shoots tasted very delicious, but they were still a little inferior to the fresh ones.

Both Dabao and Xiaobao like to eat it very much, even though they were born in Liujiagou.

But because I was too young at that time, I could only drink breast milk, and it was the first time for me to eat these mountain products!

Smelling the delicious aroma of the food, the little dumpling's mouth started to water, and his little hands wanted to grab something to eat.

Xu Wanning made wontons for little Tuanzi. The little guy was too small and his spleen and stomach were not well developed yet, so he could only eat things that were easy to digest.

"Little Dumpling, come here, mommy made wontons for you."
