If the whole family ate this much food together, there would definitely be leftovers. But now, they've licked the plates clean.

After finishing their meal, the three children from the third branch of the family, including Cheng, got up to leave.

Old Mrs. Zhao leaned on her cane and said in a deep voice, "Cheng, take the children to wash the pots and dishes. This meal was prepared by your sister-in-law's family, so you all need to do some work too."

Cheng pouted; although she was unwilling, she didn't dare to be too stubborn.

After Cheng took her three children to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Old Mrs. Zhao began to scold her third son, "Xiang Nan, tell me the truth, did your wife lose her job in the city?"

Upon hearing this, Tao and Zhao Xiangbei both turned their heads away, afraid of being questioned.

Zhao Xiangnan was caught off guard by Old Lady Zhao's question.

“Mother, this…” Zhao Xiangnan stammered.

Old Mrs. Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Hmph, you two young man, don't think you can fool this old woman. Your wife is useless; she can even lose such a good job. She's a disgrace to our whole family!"

"And you, you're too indulgent with your wife! Look at the state you've raised your three children! Like father, like son, you should reflect on your own behavior!"

Zhao Xiangnan, a grown man, was blushing red as he was scolded by his own mother.

He Tiantian's family had a very lavish New Year's Eve dinner. In addition to roast chicken and roast rabbit, two pots, and a large plate of braised meat, they also prepared a feast.

The braised meat had an enticing color and a wonderfully fragrant aroma.

The children living near He Tiantian's house were so hungry they cried.

If it weren't for the adults at home stopping him, he probably would have already climbed over the wall of He Tiantian's house to smell the odor.

Even someone like He Shitou, who is used to home-cooked meals, couldn't help but feel tempted by the table full of delicious meat and vegetables.

The whole family quickly took their seats. There weren't many rules for eating in the village; once everyone was there, they could start eating.

Sun Qi, a young master, didn't care about his image at all and started picking up food from his bowl.

Sun Qi was completely mesmerized by the aroma of the braised pork after taking a bite.

The braised pork is sliced ​​thinly and then dipped in a sauce made of scallions, garlic, and vinegar, making it very chewy and delicious.

Sun Qi ate three large pieces in a row before remembering to ask, "Auntie, what is this? It's so delicious!"

He Tiantian glanced at the cut-open pig intestines and reminded her, "Didn't you wash these yourself? Pig intestines!"

The thought of having his intestines cleaned made the meat in his mouth suddenly seem less delicious.

He avoided the pig's large intestine and instead picked up the pig's ears and tail next to it.

Since they're both braised meat, the taste is bound to be just as good.

Mr. Xu took a couple of bites of the braised meat and praised it highly, speaking in a refined and scholarly manner, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

This made everyone laugh heartily, even though they didn't know what "妙哉" meant. But it probably meant delicious.

Li Qianqian never liked eating sticky things, but after Zhao Xiaolu persuaded her, she tried a couple of bites.
