Chapter 137: The first time the whole family had a complete New Year's Eve dinner together

Ma Siqing put all the dishes on the table, set up a small stove, and started a hot pot.

Ma Shuhua saw that they were eating hot pot in the Northeast. When she came here before, they always had a big pot of stew. She couldn't help wondering if Ma Siqing made it specially for her.

But even if it wasn't made specifically for her, she was happy, at least she could eat the food made by Ma Siqing herself.

Then Ma Siqing used a larger bowl to fill a large bowl of dumplings, a bowl of braised pork, a fish, and a plate of pot-wrapped meat to go to Sulan's house. She

also packed some New Year's Eve dinner for Zhong Guofan and asked Tong Shiyu to take it over.

"Sulan, these are all made by me just now. I bring them to you to try."

Xiaojun, Xiaohai, and Xiaomei greeted Ma Siqing enthusiastically when they saw her.

Sulan's family also celebrated the New Year together, which was great.

After the New Year, life will be better and the future will be sweet.

Sulan also asked Ma Siqing to bring back some dishes, which were braised pig's trotters made by Xiaojun.

After Ma Siqing brought back the dishes, Tong Shiyu also came back.

Zhong Guofan packed a lot of candies for Tong Shiyu, all of which were the children's favorites.

Ma Siqing felt sweet in her heart. Everyone cared about each other, and it felt so good.

After returning home, Ma Siqing brought the vegetables for the hot pot to the main room.

Ma Siqing prepared radishes, potatoes, spinach, cabbage, and frozen tofu for the hot pot.

The three children saw the fresh things and stared at the hot pot with their big eyes.

"Mom, how do you use this?"

"Mom, what is this called?"

"Mom, you made a very different New Year's Eve dinner this year."

Then they all said in unison: "Thank you for your hard work, the food is so delicious!"

Ma Siqing received the praise from the children and kissed the three of them on the cheek with a smile.

Then with Ma Siqing's words: "Let's eat!"

The New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

Cheng Yuqing took care of Dashuang, Cheng Sihua took care of Xiaoshuang, and Ma Shuhua helped Guoguo pick up the dishes.

Ma Siqing and Tong Shiyu looked at each other.

Today, the two of them temporarily stepped down and let the three of them busy.

The pork soup on the stove was boiling, and the house was filled with the aroma of roasting meat, vegetables, dumplings, and fish.

Ma Siqing put the beef slices down on the hot pot and told everyone to count in their minds for about ten times, and then the beef would be ready to eat.

Others did not believe it, except Tong Shiyu, who believed whatever his wife said.

Ten seconds later, Ma Siqing and Tong Shiyu picked up the beef slices and ate them with relish, while the other three were still watching them eat.

Cheng Sihua: "Brother-in-law, is the meat cooked?"

Tong Shiyu had an expression of enjoying the delicious food: "Brother-in-law, in this family, you must listen to your sister. If you don't eat it, the meat will be eaten up by me and Siqing!"

Ma Siqing picked up a piece of meat for each of the three children, let them cool for a while, and then put it in their bowls.

The three children were very considerate, and after eating, they kept praising the meat for being so delicious.

Dashuang: "How can there be such delicious meat in the world!"

Xiaoshuang: "Mom, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!"

Guoguo: "The meat is tender, smooth and sweet."

Ma Shuhua didn't want to wait any longer. She heard her three grandchildren saying it was delicious. If she didn't eat it now, it would be gone.

Cheng Sihua and Cheng Yuqing just wanted to grab some meat, but the meat in the pot was gone.

Tong Shiyu: "You have to eat delicious food as soon as possible. If you show mercy, others won't wait for you."

Ma Siqing quickly put a lot more meat slices in.

This time, the big and small, the old, all counted in unison: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Eat!"

In an instant, the meat was gone again.

The five adults laughed, and the children also thought it was too much fun, clapping their hands and laughing non-stop.

After the beef was eaten up, Ma Siqing added frozen tofu and potatoes.

Everyone was looking at the hot pot. Even the chicken stewed with mushrooms could not attract their chopsticks.

The frozen tofu cooked in beef soup tasted amazing.

Ma Shuhua felt that she had never eaten such delicious food in Beijing.

Cheng Yuqing felt that it was fortunate that Ma Shuhua gave birth to a child, so that he could have a life of playing with grandchildren.

He looked at Ma Shuhua through the misty table, as if he saw the little girl who made his heart beat.

Ma Shuhua was taking care of Guoguo. Now Ma Shuhua has shed the coquettishness and childishness of the eldest lady of the Ma family. After all, she is a grandmother and has become much more stable. Fortunately

, the children are found, otherwise he may not be able to forgive her in this life.

After returning to Beijing, the two of them wanted to try what it was like to live together. If it wasn't bad, then they would live together in the future!

Unexpectedly, a hot pot made everyone ignore other dishes.

Cheng Sihua then remembered that Ma Siqing also made braised pork and that dish she called pot-wrapped pork.

Hurry up and try it.

When it came to the pot-wrapped pork, Cheng Sihua buried his head and ate five pieces in a row. It was really delicious.

Cheng Yuqing saw that Cheng Sihua only ate that dish and stretched out his hesitant chopsticks.

As a result, the actions and expressions of the father and son were surprisingly consistent.

Eating five pieces in a row still didn't feel enough.

"Sister, this meat, you teach me how to cook it tomorrow, it's so delicious, the outside is crispy, and the meat inside is so tender. I can't stop eating it!"

Cheng Yuqing also nodded at the side: "Siqing, if you open a restaurant in the future, the business will probably be lined up from here to Fuyuan Town."

Ma Shuhua heard the father and son praise the dish so much, and also took a piece to taste.

Really, what did she miss?

Seeing that the meat was almost gone, Ma Siqing had to divide the meat.

The three brothers and sisters each had a piece, Tong Shiyu had two pieces, one piece in his own bowl, and then Ma Shuhua had two pieces in her bowl.

"If you like it, I'll make it the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, according to custom, I won't cook new food!"

"Okay, I'll learn from you the day after tomorrow and go home to cook for grandpa."

There are no old people in the Cheng family, only Cheng Yuqing and Cheng Fuqing. The old man died a few years ago, and he died with regrets before Cheng Yuqing found Ma Siqing.

Cheng Yuqing's sister was persecuted during the movement and committed suicide.

There are three brothers and sisters in total.

Fortunately, the Cheng family saved Cheng Yuqing, so that Cheng Fuqing didn't have to suffer so much.

Now everything is over, and all things must be settled under the sun.

Ma Siqing picked up a piece of braised pork for Cheng Yuqing: "Dad, try this, this is the taste of Beijing."

Then she picked up a piece for Ma Shuhua, but did not say anything.

Ma Shuhua was ecstatic. This was the thought of her daughter. She picked it up and tasted it carefully.

While eating, Ma Shuhua shed tears again.

Cheng Yuqing wiped her tears quickly. Ma Siqing saw that Ma Shuhua was sad and did not know how to comfort her, so she did not say anything and ate silently.

After finishing the meal, Cheng Sihua touched her round belly: "Sister, I am very satisfied with this meal today. The dishes you cooked are all in the kitchen."

After the meal, Tong Shiyu cleaned up the dishes and asked Ma Siqing to sit down and talk with the family.

Three kids were sitting on the kang playing with toys.

The four of them sighed that time had passed so quickly and the kids had grown so big.

As they chatted, they talked about Lin Chunhua.
