Chapter 1199 New Year's Eve
Of course, this is not forgiveness, and it is even more impossible to be friends, but it means "forget it."
The word "forget it" contains great wisdom!
Qiao Xuan noticed what Mrs. Lin meant and listened with a smile. It was not until Mrs. Lin became increasingly uneasy and anxious that she could hardly sit still that she smiled and said a few words to reassure her.
Mrs. Lin felt relieved and took the opportunity to say a few words to show her intimacy with him. However, Qiao Xuan did not respond and quickly apologized, saying that she had something to do. Mrs. Lin was quite embarrassed and had to get up and leave.
Qiao Xuan really looked down on such people, they were too snobbish and fawning on the powerful.
Except for those who are confused or extremely vain, who would dare to have close contacts with such people?
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
This is the first year that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan celebrate the New Year alone.
The two have already become husband and wife, and this strong atmosphere of family reunion brings their hearts closer. Others have a large family around them, but they only have each other at this moment.
Although there were only five of us in our family, we still had a lively time.
They pasted Spring Festival couplets, door gods, and window flowers, and hung two rows of red lanterns specially bought by Qiao Xuan under the eaves.
It just so happened that there was a moderate snowfall on the 29th, so we built a big snowman in the yard, with its eyes curved with a smile on its face. It was so festive.
The dishes for the New Year were bought one after another a few days in advance. There were no fresh vegetables at this time of year, but winter melon, radish and cabbage were already in the cellar at home.
Early in the morning, there were vendors pushing carts with large wooden barrels on them. They were selling fish.
Li Qiu also followed the neighbors and squeezed in, grabbing a big, lively carp.
This is all the New Year dishes!
The weather was too cold, so we decided to have hotpot in the evening. We prepared nearly twenty kinds of meat and vegetable dishes, including beef, mutton, pork, chicken, river fish, soaked dried seafood, soy products, etc.
As for the big carp that was snatched at the beginning of autumn, it was coated with flour, fried in a pan, and then placed on a plate as a mascot.
This dish is a must for Chinese New Year, but few people eat it. Carp has many bones, and there are many dishes on the New Year's Eve dinner table, so why must we eat it?
In the evening, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from the alley, the smell of sulfur and gunpowder filled the air, and faint laughter could be heard in the wind.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan also took Li Qiu and others to set off firecrackers in the yard, and then happily went into the house to set the table for dinner.
The kang in the room is warm all day long, and there is a red-hot charcoal basin on the ground, which makes it very warm.
There are several more lights on today than usual, and the whole house is bright.
The room is filled with newly replaced drapes, curtains, and cushions, window grilles with the word "Fu", small hanging carousel lanterns of scenery, and Clivia, azalea, orchids, asparagus ferns and other flowers placed on high tables and long desks. It is particularly pleasing to the eye and puts people in a good mood!
The couple set up a kang table on the kang, and Lixia, Liqiu and Songshi set up another table under the kang. The dishes on the two tables were the same.
It’s New Year’s Day today!
The most important thing is that everyone eats and drinks well.
To suit the occasion, Qiao Xuan also ordered a jar of fragrant osmanthus wine to be opened.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere became lively.
They raised their glasses to celebrate the New Year, and Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan smiled at each other.
The new year brings new hope, inspiring people to work hard for it!
