We also had lunch at Jiang's father and mother's house. Each person had a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup and at most a fried egg.
But even with so many people in the Jiang family, they still felt very satisfied with the meal.
This is due to Chef Song's cooking skills, but more importantly, the noodles are made with real fine flour, rather than other mixed coarse flour or four-grain flour, and oil and eggs are also used, which are rarely eaten in normal times.
Finally, except for Song Jiayu and Jiang Baizhou who have both money and food, there are very few people in Tianwen Lane who can eat noodles regularly. What they usually eat are steamed buns and cornmeal porridge.
Among the four children of the third generation of the Jiang family, the youngest, two-year-old Jiang Chengxin, grabbed a noodle with his hands, sucked it with his little mouth, and wanted more after he finished it, so he ate half a bowl.
In the afternoon, the couple returned home. One went to Aunt Cuihua to learn how to cut paper-cuts, while the other went to Gu's house to find his good brother.
Not long after, Song Jiayu came to Gu's house to find Jiang Baizhou with the window decorations she had cut.
Lin Xue was taking care of Xiaotian, and Gu Lingling had already gone home. Her relationship with Zhao Ming was settled, and she didn't have to look at the faces of her elder brother and sister-in-law when she returned. Instead, she received unconditional tolerance from Gu's father and mother. At this time, the parents' expectation for their daughter was probably to find a good man to marry.
"Come, take a look at the paper-cuts I made for the windows. How about it?"
Song Jiayu is very smart. Apart from tailoring, she can basically master everything that is taught step by step. If she studies it further, she will be able to improve.
The window paper-cut that was taken out was cut into the shape of a boy holding a fish.
It’s not as delicate and beautiful as those made by modern craftsmen, but it’s pretty good too.
"It's very beautiful, it has to be Jiayu." Lin Xue felt that her little friend was really amazing, she could do a little bit of everything.
Song Jiayu generously took out a few paper-cut window decorations and said, "I'll give these to your family."
"Thanks." Lin Xue took it directly and said, "I'm going back to Beilin City on the second day of the Lunar New Year. I'll bring you your favorite cookies when I come back."
Song Jiayu immediately hugged the beautiful lady, saying "You are so good to me", and sniffed the fragrance on Lin Xue's body. Oh, if she were a man, she would marry Lin Xue and Xu Qinghuan home together, she thought so as she loved beauty.
Jiang Baizhou then stood up and took his wife back home. Once they were back in their room, his phoenix eyes were filled with suspicion as he asked, "What were you thinking about Comrade Lin Xue just now?"
Thinking... Song Jiayu felt guilty for three seconds. She just loved looking at good-looking people. She opened her eyes wide and pretended to be innocent, saying, "I'm not thinking about anything."
Hearing this, Ruifeng's eyes were full of grievance. This person was jealous, but he didn't say it. He just looked at Song Jiayu with a wronged face.
This forced those who loved Yan to surrender immediately.
Especially since she was such a beautiful lady.
"I just thought that Lin Xue and Xu Qinghuan were really good-looking, so I wanted to take a few more glances. Don't worry, you are the only one in my heart."
"Then tonight—"
The two of them thought of this morning and last night at the same time.
Song Jiayu shook her head: "We have to stay up tonight to celebrate the New Year."
Such a pretty face, like a flower, is about to wither.
Song Jiayu quickly said, "Tomorrow night?"
The withered man immediately smiled, Ruifeng's eyes were full of triumph, and Jiang Baizhou did not forget to remind him: "Jiayu promised something, you can't go back on your word."
Song Jiayu had a smile in her eyes and bit her lip. Why did she feel so rebellious?
If this happened in modern times, you would have to search for it on Baidu.
How can I treat a husband who is in love?
How can I treat a love-brained husband who always loves to do that because he relies on his good health?
I guess netizens would answer: This is an incurable disease, just laugh it off!
Song Jiayu pasted the cut window paper-cuts on the glass, one piece at a time. Then the two of them worked together to start from the front door of the main hall, pasting couplets and two door gods, and then pasted couplets and blessing characters in the two inner rooms.
After finishing all this, they returned to Lao Jiang's house, where all the men and women gathered together to make dumplings.
After Jiang's mother washed a few five-cent coins, she, who was the best at making dumplings, stuffed the coins into the dumplings in front of everyone. The coins were mixed into the dumpling pile. Whoever ate one of the coins during the New Year's Eve dinner would have good luck in the coming year.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is the most important meal for the common people.
No matter how poor a family is, they can prepare some meat and vegetables on this day to feed the whole family who have worked hard for a year. They also look forward to the coming year when the family will be happy and life will be better.
The New Year's Eve dinner at the Jiang family was more sumptuous than usual. Jiang's father and mother also wanted to celebrate for their third son and his wife. On the big round table, there were not only braised pork and fish, but also chicken soup stewed with mushrooms, meatballs with sauce, stir-fried cabbage, sauerkraut vermicelli, and a large plate of cabbage and pork dumplings that had been made in the afternoon.
Not to mention the four children who were drooling with greed, even Jiang's father and mother were greedy too. The main reason was that Jiang's mother and sister-in-law washed and cut the vegetables, and Chef Xiao Song was in charge of cooking. The dishes were already delicious before they were served.
Many children in the compound gathered under the eaves of Lao Jiang's house, breathing hard through their noses. If every household had not cooked meat, these children would not want to leave.
"Come on, today is another reunion year for our Jiang family. San'er has married Jiayu, who is also a third-level electrician. Our family is getting better and better."
After Jiang's father gave a speech, the Jiang family's New Year's Eve dinner began.
Everyone picked up their favorite meat dishes. There was Jiang Ersao who loved braised pork, Jiang's father who loved fish, Jiang's mother who loved chicken soup,... and the four children who loved to eat any kind of meat.
