Dreaming Back to the 70s: Divine Beasts at Home

A TV drama from the 90s was once the origin of Yu Yin's nightmares, and its ending theme song deeply influenced her.

Yu Yin's childhood was filled with the sounds of her parents argui...

Chapter 134 Housewarming Celebration

An'an took her great-grandparents to see their new home, and Pingping came along too.

Before long, Aunt Lu and her family arrived.

I don't know Uncle Lu well. He looks about five or six parts like Lu's father. He is gentle and refined, and is also a scholar. He works in the Cultural Bureau.

My third aunt brought two blankets, which were a perk she and Uncle Lu gave us. They were of very good quality and very warm.

Yu Yin was very happy, since their previous luggage had been too thin.

Aunt Lu also gave Shuqi a gift to express her gratitude to Yu Yin for taking care of her over the years.

Grandma Lu also gave Yu Yin her most treasured dragon and phoenix quilt, which she had saved up when she was young but hadn't dared to use all these years. This time, she finally got her chance.

Lu Erjie's family also came carrying large and small bags, and Zhuangzhuang and Duoduo also brought gifts.

Several children ran upstairs to play games. Lu Shurui, his grandfather, and his third uncle were drinking tea. Yu Yin brought a lot of tea leaves, and his second brother-in-law was demonstrating his tea ceremony.

When Mr. Lu and his family arrived, Yu Yin, Grandma Lu, and Aunt Lu were in the kitchen preparing vegetables, while Second Sister moved a stool and sat down to rest.

In the morning, Yu Yin got up early and bought seafood and meat, and also grabbed two chickens from her spatial storage, planning to cook a big meal for lunch.

"Yinyin, Mom and Dad are here." Lu Shurui's voice came from the living room.

Aunt Lu nudged Yu Yin's arm, signaling her to go out.

Yu Yin knew her aunt's good intentions; her grandmother was still here, and they had to maintain a semblance of adult dignity.

Yu Yin wiped her hands and went outside.

The family was quite complete: Mr. and Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu's eldest brother's family of five, and Lu Shukang's family of four all came.

Yu Yin greeted them and called the children upstairs down to meet them, especially Kuai Kuai and Man Man, who hadn't seen their grandparents yet.

"Hello Grandpa and Grandma, hello Uncle and Aunt, hello Uncle and Aunt!" Pingping led her younger siblings to greet everyone in turn.

Looking at his four energetic children, Mr. Lu was overjoyed.

Reaching out, he pulled out four red envelopes and handed them over, saying, "These are a gift from Grandpa and Grandma. Take them." Pingping glanced at his mother, gesturing for his younger siblings to take them. They all said in unison, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!"

An'an, in particular, was truly grateful. She has loved red envelopes since she was little, and now she has saved up quite a bit of pocket money.

"Here you go, Mom." Kuai Kuai and Man Man handed the red envelopes to Yu Yin, and Ping Ping also handed one over. There were many people today, so they asked their mother to keep it for them.

An An hesitated for a moment, then handed it over, looking at it longingly for several times, afraid that it would never come back!

Yu Yin laughed. Her expression made it seem like she had embezzled a lot of red envelopes.

The second sister, who was following behind, was also amused. "An'an, are you that worried?"

"No, how could I? My mom gave it to me tonight." An'an emphasized the words "gave it to me tonight" to hint to her mother.

"Ha ha……"

This time, everyone laughed.

"Here, this is for your uncle and aunt." Sister-in-law Lu also took out four red envelopes and distributed them to the four children. Pingping and the others thanked her in return.

This time, Lu Shukang and Wang Mengyao were in an awkward situation, as they were unprepared.

Yu Yin told Ping An and the children to go upstairs to play, as the living room was too crowded.

"The house is still too small. My next goal is a spacious old-style house!" Yu Yin made up her mind.

The men were drinking tea in the living room, and the women were cooking in the kitchen. The whole house felt like it was full of people.

This is before the other cousins ​​came; otherwise, there would have been even more.

Lu Shurui and the others were discussing Ping An and An'an's schooling, as well as Kuai Kuai and Man Man's going to daycare.

In the kitchen, Yu Yin started stewing the pork ribs, making sure to stew them for a while longer, otherwise they would be hard to chew.

"Grandma, do you prefer braised or sweet and sour pork ribs?" Yu Yin asked her grandmother for her opinion, as she wasn't very good at cooking Shanghai-style dishes.

"If it's spare ribs, then sweet and sour; if it has ribs, then braised." Grandma Lu thought sweet and sour spare ribs were delicious.

"They're all spare ribs, so sweet and sour it is." Yu Yin bought spare ribs this morning, none of them had the spine.

"Third Aunt, you make it. Shuqi said your sweet and sour pork ribs are delicious! I haven't made them much before, and I'm not good at getting the amount of sugar right." Yu Yin had only made them once, and they were too sweet.

“Yes, your third aunt’s sweet and sour pork ribs are delicious,” Grandma Lu chimed in.

The family has three daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law is extremely sexist and favors sons over daughters. The second daughter-in-law always thinks she is a cultured person and superior to others, looking down on everyone else.

Only the third son's wife was honest and upright, and treated all the children equally.

Mrs. Lu felt very uncomfortable in the kitchen, but she couldn't go out because the old lady was still there.

"Yu Yin, is there anything I can do?" Sister-in-law Lu asked, as it wasn't good for her to just stand there like that!

"Sister-in-law, could you help me pluck the feathers off these chicks? Shu Rui didn't clean them properly after killing them this morning." Yu Yin handed over a basin containing two chickens, unsure if Sister-in-law Lu knew how to do it.

Sister-in-law Lu really knows how to do it. In this day and age, there are no chickens that are properly prepared. You have to buy the chickens, kill them yourself, pluck the feathers, clean them, and then gut them.

After taking the basin, Sister-in-law Lu found an open space and squatted down to pluck chicken feathers.

Yu Yin took out two small stools and a bamboo tweezers. "Sister-in-law, here's a stool for you to sit on while you do this. And this bamboo tweezers is quite useful."

"You have quite a complete set of tools!" Sister-in-law Lu took them and sat down on the stool. Grandma Lu also came over and joined her.

Yu Yin then found another pair of tweezers for Grandma Lu.

"Yu Yin, is there anything else we haven't finished?" The second sister looked at her mother and Wang Mengyao standing there and asked Yu Yin if there was anything else to do.

"The shrimp veins haven't been removed yet; they're in the basin on that cabinet over there." Yu Yin didn't want to deal with Lu's mother and her sister, but she couldn't kick them out, so she asked her second sister to attend to them.
