Gu Wan smiled slightly and teased Zhou Xiaoyue jokingly, "Since you like babies so much, why don't you come and help me take care of the baby while you are resting at home?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyue agreed without hesitation.

"Great! With so many cute babies, I just wish I could live directly in your house!" she replied happily.

At this point, Zhou Xiaoyue's smile became even brighter, even with a hint of pride, "Sister-in-law, I'm sure my mother has mentioned this to you, too."

"I have been in charge of taking care of the two children of my eldest brother."

So she already has experience in raising children.

It was just taking care of a few newborn babies, which was not too difficult for her.

You know, her two naughty nephews were notorious mischievous boys when they were young, and they would make her furious and fly into a rage almost every day.

Fortunately, as they grow older, the two little guys have gradually become more sensible.

Although he is still a little naughty occasionally, he is much better than before.

At least it's not as irritating as before.

Gu Wan couldn't help but smile when she heard Zhou Xiaoyue's words, "No problem, you are welcome to stay at home anytime."

However, Zhou Xiaoyue became a little shy after hearing the answer.

Her face was slightly red, she touched her nose and coughed lightly, "Well, sister-in-law, I was just kidding you. If I really dared to come to your house to stay overnight, my mother would definitely beat me up with a feather duster!"

Gu Wan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, "I don't believe it. Everyone in our entire army knows how much Aunt and Commander Zhou love you. How could Aunt be willing to hit you?"

At most, I would just gently twist the child's ears with my hands and give him a few casual scoldings.

Moreover, the tone of the scolding was full of tenderness and pampering.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyue couldn't help but pursed her lips.

Indeed, she was the older daughter of her parents and was twelve years younger than her eldest brother, so she had always been the loved one in the family since she was a child.

Even her own sister-in-law loves her very much.

Zhou Xiaoyue talked to Gu Wan in the room for a while. During that time, she helped Dong Wanqiu and Xie Yunyao feed the five lovely babies with milk powder, and then she got up and left.

Even when Gu Wan and Dong Wanqiu invited her to their home for hotpot, Zhou Xiaoyue refused.

She suppressed the itch in her stomach, picked up the basket full of food, and ran out of the Mo family courtyard.

Then go home quickly!

"Mom, can we have hot pot tonight?"

As soon as Zhou Xiaoyue stepped into the yard, she looked up and saw her mother Wang Yufang who was washing vegetables in the yard. She asked happily.

Wang Yufang, who heard the voice, immediately turned her head to look at her daughter, and teased her with a smile, "Is it because your brother Mo is making hot pot at home and you are craving it?"

Zhou Xiaoyue nodded decisively, "Yes, my aunt, sister-in-law, and Grandpa Mo wanted to keep me for dinner, but today is the New Year's Eve, how can I, an outsider, stay at their house for dinner?"

"So, I quickly found an excuse to come back."

There was a hint of regret in her voice.

If it were an ordinary day, she would definitely stay at her sister-in-law's house for dinner, but today is the reunion eve, a special day, and the situation does not allow her to be willful.

Because some traditional customs must be followed!

"Then have you ever thought that your sister-in-law's family eats hot pot because they prepared the ingredients long ago. Now you suddenly tell me that you want to eat hot pot, where can I get so many ingredients for you?"

Wang Yufang looked at her naive daughter and couldn't help but chuckle at her. Then she asked her back with a smile in her eyes.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyue paused.

That’s right!

To make hot pot, you need to prepare the ingredients in advance, but her family had already bought the ingredients, and if they changed it to hot pot, there was simply not enough material.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoyue immediately smiled and said, "Forget it, stir-fry is actually pretty good, not to mention that it was cooked by you, my mom."

"Every dish is filled with love, and it's no worse than hot pot!"

This praise can be said to be full of flattery.

When Wang Yufang heard her daughter say this, she immediately smiled and waved at Zhou Xiaoyue, "Go away, you little bitch, if you want to eat hot pot, just say so directly, but you are actually beating around the bush and playing a guessing game with me."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but glare at her daughter again, and then ordered, "Take the basket back to the house and put it away, then come out to help pick and wash the vegetables. I'll go into the kitchen to cut the meat. It's time to prepare dinner."

"As for the hot pot, let's go to the city in a couple of days to buy some ingredients and then come back to make it, so that you, little glutton, won't be thinking about it all the time." Wang Yufang added with a smile.

"Hey! All right!"

When Zhou Xiaoyue heard her mother say that she would make hotpot in the next two days, she immediately smiled happily and walked into the living room with anticipation on her face.

However, when she was halfway there, a light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly remembered that she was holding a basket full of food in her hands!

So she quickly turned around and shouted to Wang Yufang, "Oh, Mom, I almost forgot to tell you that the things in this basket were given to me by the two aunts. It seems that there is also braised meat, which smells delicious!"

She smelled it all the way, and the tempting aroma almost made her drool.

Hearing this, Wang Yufang couldn't help but smile, then shook her head slightly and said, "Your two aunts are so particular!"

She knew Dong Wanqiu and Xie Yunyao's personalities very well and knew that they were both straightforward people.

When they saw Xiaoyue carrying things, they would definitely pack some delicious food for Xiaoyue to take home. Therefore, she was not surprised about the things her daughter brought back.

"Okay, take these things to the kitchen and sort them out. It will be a good opportunity for us to have a few more delicious dishes for our New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

Zhou Xiaoyue nodded happily, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

At this time, in the Mo family courtyard——

Mo Beishen and the others also started to work busily.

Six o'clock in the evening.

The New Year’s Eve dinner for the Mo and Gu families has officially begun!

"Come on, everyone, take your seats. This year's New Year's Eve dinner is particularly meaningful to our families. Old Xie, we have to have a few drinks later!" Grandpa Mo smiled and invited everyone to take their seats.

"Okay! Let's get drunk tonight!" Mr. Xie responded cheerfully.

Then, everyone took their seats according to age.
