The father and son had a great time today. Grandma Han looked at the time on the wall clock and saw that it was time to prepare dinner. She called out, "Big brother, get the food ready."
"Huh? Uncle is cooking today?" Han Zheng originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help.
"Your uncle said he would be the one cooking today and make a few simple dishes for us. Your mother said she would also make two dishes that Huaying taught her last time. I'll be supervising them. You little ones, just sit back and wait for dinner." Grandma Han said with a smile, then turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare.
Han Zhangjiang goes into the kitchen only a few times throughout the year. He usually eats in the military canteen. However, during this period of time when he came to Jinling, he often accompanied his mother to buy and cut vegetables, and watched her cook, so he learned some cooking skills.
In fact, there were not many dishes that he needed to cook. Grandma Han had already prepared most of the braised dishes, cold dishes and stews. He only needed to make three or four simple stir-fries.
As for Li Suyao's two steamed dishes, one was steamed pork ribs with taro, and the other was stewed clams with vermicelli and garlic. These two dishes were very simple. She didn't ask anyone to help, and she cooked them all by herself at the stove.
While the cooking was still going on in the house, Yun Huaying started the second round of fighting with her grandfather.
Old Man Han loves playing chess, but he rarely meets an opponent. This time when he meets a master like her, he naturally wants to have fun with her.
In the evening, Li Suyao came out of the kitchen to announce that dinner was ready, and everyone immediately got up and went to serve the food.
The Han family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was also very sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, dumplings, seafood and cold dishes. The younger generations in the family all had big appetites, so many dishes were prepared, and the portions were particularly large. The big round table was filled with dishes.
Before the meal, Mr. Han said a few words, wishing the whole family peace and prosperity in the new year, and also welcomed Yun Huaying to join the big family.
This reunion dinner on New Year's Eve was of special significance to the Han family. Everyone had their own feelings about the meal, and they toasted each other and had a great time.
After dinner, the two elders gave each of their grandchildren a lucky money wallet. Han Zhangjiang and Li Suyao gave a lucky money bag to Yun Huaying separately. As for the other children, they had already given them gifts this morning.
Just as they had cleared the dishes, a group of neighbors came over to visit. Mrs. Zhao, holding her grandson's hand, said with a smile, "There's an event being organized in the small square, and each family has sent a representative to participate. This year, your family is having a reunion, so more people can participate. Do you want everyone to join?"
"Go, go." Old Master Han made the arrangements and stood up himself: "Let's go out and move around to help digest the food."
Yun Huaying didn't know what was planned for the evening, so she pulled Han Zheng's arm and asked, "What are you doing tonight? Are you going to spar or fight?"
"For activities within the military region, exchanging martial arts is an indispensable activity, and there are many other small activities, most of which are artistic and interesting, focusing on participation and livening up the atmosphere." Han Zheng hasn't participated in any of the activities for two or three years, and he hadn't heard about it from his family before, so he wasn't sure about the specific activities.
"Pretty auntie, come play darts with us."
The little grandson of the Zhao family was not shy. He shook off his grandmother's hand and ran straight to Yun Huaying. He took her hand in a familiar manner and generously invited her to play games with him.
"This kid..." Mrs. Zhao laughed helplessly.
"Tiaotiao is a very generous child who is not shy about strangers," Grandma Han praised with a smile.
"He's very cunning. He likes pretty girls who pay attention to hygiene. A few days ago, his mother took him to a birthday party at a distant relative's house. A little girl asked him to play, but the child didn't care about hygiene and got dirty. He thought she was ugly and dirty and refused to play with her. When he came back, he even told me that the girl reeked of urine and it bothered him."
"Hehe..." The others laughed silently.
Yun Huaying was also laughing. She took out two lollipops from her pocket and gave them to the little boy, who was about four or five years old. She smiled and asked, "Tiaotiao, what's your full name?"
"My name is Zhao Hui. It's the name my grandfather gave me."
Tiaotiao started school this morning and will be in first grade next year. He speaks clearly and exudes a sense of cleverness. He is also polite. When he accepted the lollipop, he smiled and said thank you: "Beautiful Auntie, thank you."
Children all love to eat candy. It goes without saying that Political Commissar Zhao's family is well-off. Tiaotiao is the eldest grandson and has eaten all kinds of delicious food, but the two lollipops today are something he has never seen before.
He looked at the colorful wrapping paper with his eyes shining. He pulled her aside and asked, "Pretty Auntie, is this lollipop delicious? I've never had this kind before. What does it taste like?"
"The pink one is peach flavored, and the yellow one is pineapple flavored."
Yun Huaying brought a bag with her before. She put a few in her pocket and gave the rest to her cousins. They all liked them very much.
"What is a pineapple? What is a peach?" Tiaotiao had never eaten any of them, but he was full of curiosity.
"this..."
Yun Huaying didn't know how to explain it for a moment. After thinking for a while, she tried to explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "They are two kinds of fruits. The peach is a kind of peach. It is big, sweet, crisp and delicious. It looks and tastes just like an apple. The pineapple tastes sour and sweet. The flesh is yellow. It grows in the tropical south and has thorns on the surface. You need to peel it and remove the thorns..."
A group of people gathered and went to the small square. Yun Huaying took the outgoing child by the hand and followed them, imparting knowledge to him along the way to satisfy his curiosity.
Zhao's sons and daughters-in-law were also going to participate in the event and were all waiting outside. Seeing that Tiaotiao had found a "new friend" so quickly, they all smiled and did not come over to disturb him. They followed him to develop interpersonal relationships.
When they came over, the event had already started, and the family members who brought their own benches and sat in a circle were cheering enthusiastically.
"Arm wrestling."
Yun Huaying stood on tiptoe and saw two young men competing in the middle. Both of them were red in the face. She asked, "Han Zheng, is this voluntary?"
"Yes, it's all voluntary." Han Zheng brought a stool over and pulled her to sit down.
Tiaotiao still followed her, and after she sat down, he climbed onto her lap and introduced her with a smile: "Pretty Auntie, if you win, you can enter a lottery. My mom said there are many prizes, all of which are delicious."
Yun Huaying has seen that someone has invited grandpa and grandma to the judges' seat. There are several baskets on the judges' seat, filled with various cakes, fruits, candies, nuts, etc. It seems that these are the prizes for tonight.
After the first two decided the winner, Tiaotiao immediately urged: "Pretty Auntie, go and join the competition. If you win, you will get candy."
"Let the men participate in the arm wrestling." Yun Huaying smiled.
Han Jue just happened to go up and was about to choose an opponent when Tiao Tiao excitedly arranged one for him: "Uncle Jue, the pretty aunt wants to compete with you."
"This brat."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and patted him, admonishing him: "Tiaotiao, Auntie is a lesbian, and if we have to compete, it should be with lesbians. Stop making random arrangements."
