My mother's house is very lively.

The third brother Liu Jin and his third sister-in-law Fan Guizhen, brought their child Liu Fu to pay New Year's greetings to the elderly couple in the family.

He Zhu handed the red envelopes that she had prepared long ago to the children, and touched Liu Fu's head and said:

"Xiaofu, you must study hard so that you can have a great future."

"Then I want to study abroad like my uncle."

Many people thought that Zhou Zheng was going abroad to study.

Who would have thought that he actually went to the factory to get a job?

But he also played to learn skills.

Liu Fu's words caused the Liu family to fall into a brief silence.

Because in their opinion, the family would not be complete if Zhou Zheng didn't come back for the New Year.

As for whether the second son Liu Qian and his family would come back or not, they didn’t care at all.

Just pretend that you don’t have this son.

Because when Liu Qian got married, He Zhu and his wife did not attend the wedding.

Without telling his parents any details, he got the marriage certificate with the girl, held a banquet, and started living his life behind closed doors.

He never thought about the feelings of his parents and siblings.

So the Liu family just pretended that they had never had a son named Liu Qian.

On the contrary, the Liu family has always treated Zhou Zheng as their own son.

He Zhu also asked Liu Yu to invite Yu Qiong, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba to come home for dinner.

It can be considered a real family reunion dinner.

Zhan Yun also accompanied Liu Xiang to his rural home for dinner.

The purpose of coming here is to discuss the marriage.

The two of them plan to hold their wedding in early spring.

"My family is urging me to get married soon.

So as to avoid any more nightmares at night."

Zhan Yun is a relatively direct person, so he said.

He Zhu held her hand and became more and more happy the more she looked at him:

"How could our Liu family's eldest brother be so worthy of marrying such a good wife like you?"

Zhan Yun was praised so much that his face turned red.

Liu Jin took the opportunity to say:

"Mom, isn't Guizhen okay?"

“All good, all good.

Our Liu family has done good deeds for our ancestors, so both of you brothers can marry beautiful and virtuous wives."

He Zhu praised both of her daughters-in-law.

While preparing the reunion dinner, Zhan Yun, Fan Guizhen, and Liu Yu were busy in the kitchen.

Of course He Zhu was not idle either.

Xiaoqi and Xiaoba wanted to help but were stopped by Liu Yu.

"You two should stay with mom and have a good chat. You two are usually busy with your studies and don't have time to spend more time with her."

Having said this, Xiao Qi lowered his head in shame.

The same goes for Xiaoba.

But her studies are also quite intense.

In two years, she will be taking the college entrance examination.

Xiao Ba and Xiao Qi no longer competed to go to the kitchen to help Liu Yu.

The people in the kitchen became busy.

According to the local New Year customs, meat is definitely indispensable.

The sausages made in the twelfth lunar month are blown in the cold wind for ten days or half a month, and the moisture is almost dried out.

You have to take it home and hang it on the beam, so it doesn't have to be exposed to the sun all the time.

Because it may ooze oil when exposed to the warm winter sun.

In addition to sausages, there is naturally bacon.

Strictly speaking, this bacon should be considered smoked meat.

After killing the pig, the half fat and half lean meat is separated, pickled, and then smoked in the smoke produced by burning cypress branches.

When smoked to a certain point, the meat will have a unique aroma after being smoked.
