"I smelled the delicious food as soon as I walked in. What's going on? Give me some quickly. I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm starving."
"Uncle, here are meatballs and meat. I'll give you a bowl of noodles. Would you like to eat it first?"
"Okay, give me a whole bowl of shredded pork noodles and a few eggs."
When Fu Wencheng heard that there were noodles, he also came in and looked at Ming Leyao eagerly.
"Wife, I want one too."
Then it was Mingguang and the others...
The kitchen was filled.
"Okay, okay, okay. We have it all. I'll make it for you right away. Please get out of here. We can hardly turn over in the kitchen."
Everyone went out with smiles on their faces. He Zhengbin saw these children for the first time and took them out to play.
Fu Wencheng stayed to help light the fire.
Ming Leyao cooked a big pot of shredded pork noodles and put twenty eggs in it, which directly destroyed half of the stock...
"They say that a teenager can eat his father out of money. I think it's the same no matter how old he is."
Aunt Qian looked at the eggs cracking down with a clattering sound, and she felt so distressed that she kept sobbing.
But when she saw the children eating with relish, she felt that she had not cracked the egg enough and that all of it should be cracked into it.
Ming Leyao "......"
The big boss and the old man came in at dinner time. Fu Wencheng had just put the table up and He Zhengbin was bringing the dishes into the room when they came in.
"It smells so good. When will the meal be served? I can't wait."
"Hurry up and sit down, Grandpa. We are waiting for you."
"That's great. Your grandfather and I didn't eat anything at noon, so we saved our stomachs for this stew."
"Then you have to eat more later. Let's have a few drinks in the evening."
"Okay."
There were still two tables, and they were filled to the brim. There were eight meat dishes alone, four vegetarian dishes, two cold dishes, a dessert and a soup.
That makes exactly sixteen dishes.
Ming Leyao filled everyone's glasses with wine, and the other little ones drank freshly squeezed juice.
The one who started it was Mr. He.
"I am a rough man and I don't know much to say, so I would like to wish you a happy Chinese New Year and hope that our country will become more prosperous in the future. I hope everyone will be healthy, happy every day, and all their wishes will come true in the new year."
"well.."
"May all your wishes come true."
"Be happy every day."
"Happy, happy, happy, happy..."
Several little ones followed suit, making the adults laugh heartily.
The boss hadn't experienced the excitement of the New Year for a long time, and he had been smiling since he entered the house.
"Okay, okay, let's eat."
Mr. He picked up the chopsticks with a smile and took the lead in picking up a piece of spicy chicken, followed by the others.
The joyful atmosphere inside the house directly melted the snow outside.
The family is happily together, this moment is more important than anything else...
The New Year’s Eve dinner lasted until around nine o’clock. The two old men ate a little too much, so they walked around in the yard together and chatted.
Others are responsible for clearing the table, washing dishes and moving stools.
Suddenly, Fu Wencheng stealthily took his wife and walked outside.
"What are you doing? I haven't finished my work yet."
"Wife, I have a gift for you."
"Oh? Have you improved this year? You know how to give me a gift."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. From now on, I will definitely not forget my wife's gift."
"You said it, if you forget, I will punish you."
"In bed?"
“….”
This bastard is showing off his sexiness all the time.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm here."
Fu Wencheng dragged out a cardboard box from the utility room, which contained a lot of firecrackers.
"Where did you get that much?"
Ming Leyao was surprised, as she had never seen these things since she came here.
"I asked someone to get some. It's not much, but it's enough."
"Call the children to join us."
"Okay, we'll watch them do it."
Fu Wencheng called all the children over and asked Mingguang to light the firecrackers.
Suddenly, crackling sounds filled the entire courtyard.
When the two old men heard the noise, they came over from the backyard to watch the fun.
They were also very happy watching the children clapping and dancing with joy.
"Ah, seeing them so happy, I suddenly feel that we have hope after working so hard."
"Yes, these are all our hopes for the future. As long as they can thrive, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little."
The big boss didn't ask where the firecrackers came from, or even why there was so much meat on the table. He was just like an ordinary grandfather who cares for his younger generations, feeling a rare sense of relief.
The reunion during the Chinese New Year is always so short. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the two old men returned to their respective posts. On the fourth day, He Zhengbin also left Beijing and returned to the Northeast Military Region.
And Fu Wencheng also planned to take Ming Leyao back.
The two people left in a hurry, and the old men were too busy at work to see them off. But they will be reunited soon, which has dispelled some of the sadness of separation.
A few days later, they returned to Baihe County. They first went to the small courtyard to pack up, and then returned to the family compound.
That night, Qiao Xiaoran came to the door after hearing the noise.
"You're finally back. I've been so busy during this period. Without you, I'd be like a spinning top."
"Are there so many orders from the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"It's a busy time during the Chinese New Year. You don't know how popular our cakes are. Here, this is the profit."
Looking at the two volumes of Great Unity, Ming Leyao was shocked.
"Sure.. Miss Xiao Ran."
"This is the result of me receiving and delivering goods. I am alone, how can I handle it all?"
"Sister Xiao Ran, you have worked hard during this period. I will make you something delicious tomorrow to reward you."
"That's what you said. I heard from my Bingzi that you are good at barbecue. Tomorrow, let's go up the mountain and find a deserted place to have a meal?"
"Alright."
It just so happens that I haven't officially started work yet, and Fu Wencheng isn't too busy, so there's nothing big to do if I take a day off.
After making the decision, the two went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative the next day and bought a pound of pork belly early in the morning.
"Oh, this squeezed me."
“Too many people.”
“Is this meat enough?”
"I still have some mutton I brought back home. It was all given to me by the old man. It's not much, about two kilograms. If I get some other things, it will definitely be enough."
"That's fine, let's go home and make some skewers."
The two of them hurried home and started to work. It was not until after ten o'clock that they packed all the ingredients. Fu Wencheng and Duan Yangbing happened to come back from the army, so the four of them went to the mountain behind to prepare for a picnic.
While walking on the road, Duan Yangbing was still mumbling, "It's so cold, and we're eating barbecue..."
"You've aroused my craving for food. I have to find a way to solve it. I'm counting on you, haha..."
Duan Yangbing touched his nose awkwardly. Who would have thought that just because he mentioned it before, his wife would be thinking about it for so long.
