Today’s New Year’s Eve dinner is still very rich.

There was a large table full of meat, vegetables, frozen fruit, and a large bowl of dumplings in the middle.

The six people from both families sat in a circle around the coffee table in the living room, with the Spring Festival Gala playing on the TV screen, creating a joyful atmosphere.

"Dumplings, there are several kinds of fillings. Celery and pork, mushroom and pork, egg and pork, shrimp and egg... The fillings are made according to our southern tastes, without green onions or garlic. Actually, we can't eat green onions or garlic either, so after living here for so long, my tastes are mostly from the south."

Chen Huifen held up the bowl and explained, "But according to northern customs, some of these dumplings are stuffed with peanuts. Traditionally, coins should be stuffed in them, but coins are somewhat unhygienic, so I stuffed peanuts in them. Eating dumplings with peanuts signifies good luck!"

Huo Feng laughed, "Hehe, then I can definitely eat dumplings with steamed buns and peanuts! I'm so lucky this year~"

Chen Huifen also laughed, "That depends on your luck."

Afterwards, the two families of six began to eat dumplings in a lively atmosphere.

It's freezing and snowy outside, but staying in a warm room and eating hot dumplings and stews is really a great enjoyment in life.

The six of them were no longer focused on the Spring Festival Gala, they were only focused on eating...

And every kind of dumpling tastes so good, you can’t stop eating after two bites!

Huo Mingshan ate and said, "Mmm, delicious! The mushroom and pork filling is amazing."

After a while, Huo Mingshan said again: "Well, this shrimp and egg one is also delicious. Are these shrimp and eggs fried first? They taste very good..."

After a while, Huo Mingshan said again and again: "Celery pork is delicious too, really... so delicious!"

Seeing Huo Mingshan enjoying his meal so much, Yu Wenhua and Chen Huifen felt very happy as hosts.

"Old Yu, you are a cultured person, so don't blame me for my ugly eating habits."

Huo Mingshan smiled sheepishly at Wenhua and said, "Your cooking skills are amazing! You must teach me someday. You must teach me how to make shrimp and egg. Then when I go back to Wenzhou, I won't have to keep thinking about it. I can make it myself."

"Haha, as long as you're happy, teaching is a piece of cake." Yu Wenhua said with a smile.

"Teacher Huo, you are a cultured person."

Chen Huifen said, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. You should have a good time in the next few days. You should stay a few more days to experience the local customs and people of the north."

"Don't worry, we plan to drive back on the 5th or 6th after the New Year. We still have five or six days of fun!"

Huo Mingshan ate hot dumplings and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry to bother you all these days. Oh, by the way, I brought some Wenzhou specialties, and they're still in my suitcase. I'll take them out later. Downstairs, let's watch TV and eat together!"

"Okay, thank you very much." Chen Huifen said.

“This stew tastes really good.”

Huo Mingshan was about to praise all the dishes on the table, "Mother Sang Zhi's cooking skills are really good."

"Teacher Huo, you're exaggerating."

Chen Huifen was almost embarrassed by the compliments. "Look, you've been in Wenzhou for three years during high school, and you've never come to my house for dinner. I've always wanted to cook a table full of dishes to treat you well, to thank you for taking care of my family, Sang Zhi, for the past three years. Now I really have the opportunity, but there's not much seafood here, not as much as in Wenzhou."

"Yeah, I almost forgot that Mr. Huo was Sang Zhi's high school homeroom teacher."

Yu Wenhua almost forgot about the relationship between Yu Sangzhi and Huo Mingshan!

When he met Huo Mingshan today, he immediately identified Huo Mingshan as Huo Feng's father and his future in-law.

Now that Chen Huifen reminded him, Yu Wenhua looked at Huo Mingshan with an extra layer of respect for Teacher Sang Zhi.

Yu Wenhua respects all teachers, because the profession of teacher is sacred and great, and it is a profession of dedication.

In addition, Chen Huifen also told Yu Wenhua about Huo Mingshan's help and encouragement to Sang Zhi during high school, as well as his support during that special time.

So, in Yu Wenhua's eyes, Huo Mingshan is not only Huo Feng's father, future in-law, Sang Zhi's class teacher, but also his benefactor!

Yu Wenhua's attitude became even more respectful, and he even changed the subject to say, "Teacher Huo, during those three years of high school, I was an incompetent father. Our Xiao Sang is truly grateful to you for taking care of her. Come, let me toast you a glass to thank you for your protection and support for our Xiao Sang during those three years."

"Hey, come on..."

Huo Mingshan raised his glass and immediately clinked it with Yu Wenhua's, smiling cheerfully, "Old Yu, please don't be so polite. Sang Zhi is truly the most outstanding and unforgettable student I've ever taught! From the first time I saw her, a voice in my heart told me that I must train her to be a talent! Don't you think she's so good! She worked so hard to get into Tsinghua University, and even brought my son into Tsinghua with her! She's truly a great benefactor to our family!"

Yu Wenhua felt a little embarrassed by the praise. "Teacher Huo, you make me feel so ashamed. We all know exactly what my family was like during those three years. It's all thanks to you for not giving up on Sang Zhi, that we are where we are today."

Huo Mingshan said, "And Sang Zhi never gave up on my son!"

Yu Wenhua waved his hand and said, "Hey, Mr. Huo, you are so kind and excellent, your son is inherently good!"

Huo Mingshan also waved his hand and said, "Hey, then you shouldn't praise me! My son used to be a real jerk! Especially a jerk!"

Huo Feng frowned: "Hmm?"

Shen Yu winked at Chen Huifen, "It's started..."

Chen Huifen: “…”
