Chapter 941 A Happy Family
After entering the house, Aunt Xiao saw that they had brought some prepared dishes with them: "Oh, sister-in-law, are these meatballs you fried yourself?"
Mother Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I made some pills at home and brought them here as a side dish for everyone. Let's try it and see if you like it."
Chunxiao continued, "My mom also stewed some pork ribs."
Aunt Xiao smiled and said, "Then we'll have a treat tonight."
Mother Xiao wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but Miao Yiqiu stopped her: "The kitchen is almost ready, we'll be happy to lend a hand, you just sit here and chat with them, you're the eldest in our family now."
Miao Yiqiu's words touched Xiao's mother, but she also felt a little helpless. After all, it was her first time to celebrate the New Year at her in-laws' house, so she looked at her husband and daughter for help.
Chu Xue stepped forward to support her: "My aunt is understanding that it's not easy for you to be pregnant. Just be obedient. There will be plenty of opportunities to keep you busy in the future. Now your task is to take care of yourself."
Miao Yiqiu smiled and pushed the peanuts and melon seeds to her side: "Chuxue is right, you are now the key protected person in the family."
Xiao Wanpeng took an apple from the fruit plate and took a bite: "Second Aunt, my aunt is right. There are so many people at home. You just need to rest. We don't have so many rules in our family."
Everything is arranged here, and Miao Yiqiu is ready to go to the kitchen to take a look.
When he turned around, he thought of his daughter: He wondered if Jinzhou could handle the New Year's Eve dinner today.
Old Master Xiao happened to look over at this moment and saw her expression: "Yi Qiu, ask them to prepare more of each dish. I'll have Xiao Tao send it to Nianchun later."
Miao Yiqiu didn't expect the old man to think of this, and his eyes were wet instantly: "Oh, okay."
Mrs. Jiang, the nanny assigned from above in the kitchen, has almost prepared all the dishes. Those that require time to steam, boil or stew are already on the stove, and the rest of the dishes are ready and just need to be stir-fried before dinner.
She naturally heard the order from the chief outside: "Madam, why don't you divide up some of these steamed and stewed dishes now and have Xiao Tao deliver them. This will also save the son-in-law from having to work harder."
Miao Yiqiu thought about it and realized that if the delivery was late, they would probably be ready. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Chuxue also entered the kitchen at this time: "Come, I'll help."
Aunt Xiao had already brought out aluminum lunch boxes, and after dividing the work among them, they quickly packed the dishes. "Auntie, it's okay now anyway. Xiao Tao and I will go together."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wanpeng's voice came from behind her: "I'll go with you."
Before Chuxue could reply, she heard Chunxiao's voice: "I want to go too."
Miao Yiqiu naturally would not refuse. These children were all the supporters of her daughter. It was just right for her to go there now to let the people in the compound and the Qiu family see that her daughter was the one who made the decisions. It would also put pressure on Qiu Jinzhou to prevent him from being soft-hearted towards the Qiu family and making her daughter feel uncomfortable.
Driving was naturally fast, and when they arrived at the slum, every family was busy preparing New Year's Eve dinner.
Seeing the three cousins come in, someone said, "Oh, Nianchun's nephews and nieces get along so well with her that they didn't forget to come see her on New Year's Eve."
When he saw the lunch boxes in their hands, he smiled and joked, "Oh, are you worried that your uncle will be too busy and your aunt will be hungry?"
Chuxue didn't respond: "I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year in advance. I wish everyone a prosperous and auspicious year ahead, and may your life get better and better every day."
The aunt kept moving her hands, her face full of smiles: "Then I'll take advantage of your good words, girl."
