When Xu Di returned, he found that Zheng Yuanyuan and Xu Zhi were waiting for him. Upon seeing him, Xu Zhi quickly came over and asked, "Brother, how was your day?"

Zheng Yuanyuan looked at Xu Di with concern. Xu Di smiled and said, "With your help, how could things be bad? Especially Yuanyuan, I really have to thank you properly. Because of your help, your brother and I have achieved our goal this time."

Zheng Yuanyuan quickly waved her hand and said, "Brother Xu, don't thank me. I did a great job. You guys did much more."

Xu Di smiled and said, "Alright, let's not stand on ceremony. Let's go inside and warm up before having our New Year's Eve dinner. I heard the kitchen has prepared a lot of delicious food, including mackerel dumplings."

Xu Zhi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Yuanyuan and I just cooked a few to try. Brother, the taste is really good, especially with the chives we brought. It's really fresh and delicious."

When I came from the capital, I brought several wooden boxes filled with vegetables, all of which were very easy to grow, because I was worried that there wouldn't be enough fresh vegetables here, and Li Yuexi, being pregnant, wouldn't be able to handle it.

Xu Di had naturally eaten mackerel dumplings before. After the mackerel meat was chopped, it was mixed with chopped pork belly, and if you had the means, you could add some chives. The dumplings were so delicious that you could swallow your tongue.

A table had already been set up in the room, and Li Yuexi, heavily pregnant, was helping to set the table. When Xu Zhi saw this, she quickly went over and said, "Sister-in-law, let me do it. You just sit down and rest."

Li Yuexi said with a smile, "My mother said I need to be more active. Setting the table isn't a tiring job, I can do it."

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down. It's the New Year today. I, as your sister-in-law, don't usually serve you. Please give me a chance."

Li Yuexi smiled and sat down, saying, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Just tell me what to do, okay?"
