Chapter 84 Happy New Year's Eve Dinner
Zhang Yu was so angry at the coordinated actions of Xue Qi and Cao Feng in the group chat that she punched her husband, who was sitting next to her playing on his phone.
"Yuan Ting! Do you have a heart? Didn't you see that couple in the group bullying me?"
Yuan Ting checked the chat history and said impatiently, "What can I do? I'm a grown man, I can't say these things in the group like they do? So many artists are watching. If this gets out, what will people think of me? They will say that I'm fighting with others in the group for my wife? How old am I? Is it childish? I'm a big director, isn't it shameful to do such a thing?"
Zhang Yu had been wronged in the group and wanted to get her husband's help to stand up for her, but she didn't expect that her husband only cared about his own face.
She felt even more aggrieved: "Other husbands can help their wives to fight back in the group, so why can't you do that? Is your face more important, or is it more important to vent your wife's anger? Yuan Ting, are you a man?"
Yuan Ting was filled with anger at what she said, and said impatiently: "Then go find a man who is incompetent, don't marry me. Only men who are incompetent will help women nag in the group."
Her husband got angry and Zhang Yu was speechless for a moment.
Although she is a screenwriter, her income has dropped sharply in recent years due to her focus on raising her children. However, her husband Yuan Ting has been very successful in his career in the past two years, and his annual income is several times hers.
In short, in this family, those at the top of the food chain have the economic advantage.
Even though she felt uncomfortable now, she didn't dare to accuse her husband sharply. If this matter really caused family discord and created a rift between her and her husband, it would be more harm than good.
Zhang Yu had little influence in the group and could not argue with Xue Qi and Cao Feng, so she could only block the group messages and silently ignore the group chat messages.
But the breath was stuck in her chest and she couldn't get it out, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
At night, Yuan dreamed that his mother was worried, so he took advantage of his mother going to the bathroom to read the chat history in the group.
After completing the chat history, she felt so angry that her chest felt suffocated.
She didn't expect that Xue Qi and Cao Feng, this pair of dogs, would bully others like this by relying on the halo of the male and female protagonists. It was simply too much.
Yuan Meng put her mother's mobile phone back to its place and decided that after she was on the show, she would find a way to repay her mother's frustration many times over.
Since the world has been invaded by the "Shenlong" virus, virus-infected people like Yuan Meng have already worshipped the "Shenlong" as the new main god.
They believe that as long as they follow the dragon's instructions, they will be able to get the halo of the heroine and have their own script after the task is completed.
The dragon's energy is thin, and it is usually unable to contact Yuan Meng. Only when the energy is abundant can it give Yuan Meng some hints or even give her a golden finger.
After the dragon gave Yuan Meng the "rebirth" golden finger, its power became increasingly weaker and it could no longer appear to help Yuan Meng.
Unless Yuan Meng wins the heroine's halo, or it devours all of Yuan Meng's future luck, it can recover some energy.
Yuan Meng, on the other hand, believed that she was protected by the Lord God and that her luck was no worse than the heroine's, so she was fearless in what she did.
She was looking forward to the start of the recording of "Baby's Cooking" and was confident that Xue Qi's family would be doomed and lose all their popularity.
After all, an internet celebrity appearing on a variety show is already subject to criticism. If they lose their popularity on a parent-child variety show, their future career will surely be doomed.

New Year’s Eve, the reunion night.
Xue Qi and Grandma Liu were responsible for cooking, Cao Yue was responsible for the live broadcast and videography, and Qin Tiantian and Cao Feng were responsible for helping out.
There are tens of thousands of Chinese netizens, and many of them who need to be on duty and cannot go home, all waited in front of the live broadcast to watch Xue 77's New Year's Eve dinner live.
Cao Yue turned the camera to Xue Qi and Grandma Liu and asked, "Aunt 7, Grandma, what are you planning to cook? The fans in the live broadcast room are clamoring for your meal!"
Since today is the New Year's Eve, many famous food bloggers have gone home to celebrate the New Year and did not do any live broadcasts at all.
Only when they entered Xue 77’s live broadcast room did they feel the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
As Xue Qi prepared the dishes, he said, "Today is the New Year's Eve. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner symbolizes reunion and happiness. It is also the most important meal for the family to get together throughout the year. Today I plan to make ten dishes -"
She turned to get the casserole, but her hands did not stop moving:
"The first dish is the three-fresh casserole, symbolizing an abundance of wealth. I wish my family and friends online great fortune in the coming year. The local smoked fish is for everyone's abundance and good fortune. The peacock-shaped steamed chicken is for everyone's success, and that no matter how great the hardship, you can turn misfortune into fortune. The braised pork trotters are for everyone's prosperity and wealth. The braised money tripe is for everyone's appetite and abundance. The golden meatballs are for everyone's reunion! The stir-fried seasonal vegetables are for everyone's peace and prosperity. The pork ribs and rice cakes are for everyone's continued success! The ingot dumplings are for attracting wealth! And finally, the assorted cured meats are for everyone's joy and prosperity!"
When Xue Qi was announcing the dishes, he was making the first dish, three-fresh casserole.
She put silvery white vermicelli and cute round meatballs into the bottom of the casserole, and finally placed golden ingot egg dumplings, seafood, etc. on the surface.
She explained, "This three-fresh casserole is the main dish. The long vermicelli at the bottom of the pot symbolizes 'frequent visits.' Friends working away from home should remember to visit their loved ones often. The meatballs inside symbolize reunion, and the golden egg dumplings symbolize gold ingots, which signify prosperity. I hope this three-fresh casserole brings good luck to everyone in the new year. I wish you all a speedy family reunion and ease your longing for your loved ones."
Xue Qi smiled and said, "I'm very happy to be preparing this New Year's Eve dinner today. This year is different from previous years. This year I have three children, a husband, and a grandmother. In the past, my New Year's Eve dinners were mechanical and emotionless, but this year, I'm very happy."
When she said this, Cao Yue looked up at Xue Qi.
Their family is very special.
Xue Qi plays the role of the mother, Cao Feng plays the role of the father, and Qin Tiantian and Xiao Pixiu play the daughters.
Including Grandma Liu and Cao Yue himself, there are six people in their family, and except for him and Cao Feng, the others are not related by blood.
Their family combination may seem "weird" to outsiders, but he feels it is particularly warm.
After Xue Qi and Cao Feng got married, he had an aunt, Qin Tiantian had a stepfather, and little Pixiu had complete adoptive parents.
They treated Grandma Liu as a complete family member and respected the elderly.
Although they are a blended family, they live happily together.
Cao Yue hadn't experienced such a family-friendly New Year's Eve dinner for many years. Grandma Liu put a plate of sliced cured meat platter on the steamer. The warm fragrance overflowed with the steam, gradually smoothing out the potholes that had accumulated in his heart for many years.
Qin Tiantian brought the washed vegetables to Xue Qi. Seeing Cao Yue's red eyes, she asked, "Cao Yue, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes burned by the heat?"
Cao Yue's throat rolled and he choked with sobs, "No. I can't help it, I want to cry. It's just that I haven't felt such a warm family reunion in a long, long time."
Qin Tiantian asked back: "Didn't we spend time together last year? Why are you suddenly so sentimental?"
Cao Yue smiled and said, "I'm different from you. You have your family by your side every year, but I'm different. Even though I had the New Year's Eve dinner with you last year, my uncle and I were still alone. This year is different. I have my aunt, my grandmother, and you."
Qin Tiantian couldn't empathize with his feelings very well. After all, even though her father passed away, she still had her stepmother Xue Qi to accompany her.
The cooking of the little stepmother is happy and delicious, which can make her feel the happiness and warmth brought by the fireworks of the world.
Cao Yue added: "The fireworks from my aunt's cooking always make me feel warm. I hope all this is not a dream."
A stream of steam blew across Qin Tiantian's face, moist and warm, making her feel extremely at ease.
She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, this kind of warmth really makes me feel at ease. With a family like Qi Ma, I have no regrets in this life."
The live camera was turned to Grandma Liu, who was cooking.
Seeing the camera coming, she cut into the meat and said, "I, an old woman, haven't experienced this kind of New Year atmosphere in many years. I feel at ease being able to celebrate the New Year with you children. Ever since my grandson passed away, I've dreaded the New Year for many years. On New Year's Eve, I cooked a pot of dumplings, and two bowls were placed on the table, a cold and lonely place. Thinking of my adorable grandson's voice, face, and smile, a huge sense of loneliness and pain welled up in my heart. But this year is different. My heart feels like it's been filled with something. I'm happy. Very happy."
The live broadcast continues.
After a table of dishes is ready, everyone sits around the round table.
The live camera is positioned so that you can see everyone at the round table.
Little Taotie is sitting in a baby chair with a small bowl in front of her. She has a small apron tied around her chest and her chubby little hands are holding a spoon. She eats by herself obediently and is so adorable.
The adults toasted to celebrate the New Year, and the little Pixiu also raised his enamel bowl with both hands: "Cheers!"
There are also sudden increases in live comments:
"I feel like crying. I'm a doctor and I'm on duty this year. I can't go home for the New Year's Eve dinner. When I saw 77 and grandma cooking, I suddenly felt like crying."
"I want to cry. It's hard to imagine how Grandma Liu spent her New Year's Eve in previous years. So pitiful. Luckily, this year, Grandma can celebrate with her new family! The 77 family is so happy! They are a blended family, but they are no less than blood relatives."
"Ahhh, what a warm family!"
"When Grandma Liu said her heart was filled with joy, her defenses were broken. It's hard to imagine how she spent the New Year in the past. She must have been very sad and heartbroken. I hope Grandma Liu lives a peaceful and happy life and enjoys her retirement! Your grandson sacrificed his life for his country. You are the grandmother who nurtured heroes, and we are all your grandchildren! You have children and grandchildren all over the world, so you are not alone!"
"Wow, having so many children and grandchildren all over the world is so devastating... I would love to be your grandson too! Happy New Year, Grandma!"
"Happy New Year to the 77 family! May everyone be happy!"
"Did anyone notice that little fat girl? Ahhhhh, so cute! She must be the child adopted by Xue Qi and Cao Feng, right? I think her name is Cao Pipi? So cute, woooo."
“I was so touched by this family of six’s New Year’s Eve dinner! Love it!”
…
Just as a family of six was live-streaming their meal, someone knocked on the door.
Xue Qi was puzzled: "Who would come to visit at this late hour?"
Cao Yue stood up and opened the door: "Maybe it's a neighbor? I'll go check."
When Cao Yue opened the door, Sun Shaoqi and Sun Fugui appeared at the door holding two red centenary gift boxes.
The father and son said in unison:
"Happy New Year! We are here to pay our respects!"
Cao Yue was confused: "New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve?"
Sun Fugui tutted, "We're a family, it's not really New Year's greetings, we're here to celebrate the New Year with everyone!"
Cao Yue stepped aside to let them in, muttering softly, "How did we become a family?"
Sun Shaoqi shamelessly said, "How come we're not a family anymore? I call Seventh Mom "Mom," and "Mom" is more important than anything else. Why isn't a son like me at the reunion dinner?"
When everyone saw Sun Fugui and his son come in, they stood up to greet them, and Qin Tiantian went to get the dishes and chopsticks.
Sun Fugui took out a few red envelopes and distributed them to everyone, starting with the oldest one. "Happy New Year, everyone! I brought my son here to celebrate the New Year with you all today. I hope I'm not late!"
Then he started playing the victim: "77, don't think we are thick-skinned. My son and I have no relatives. We are orphans and widows. It's so miserable! It's pitiful!"
As she spoke, her eyes were slightly moistened, which was heartbreaking to see.
Xue Qi took the heavy red envelope from his hand and put it in her pocket. Her motherly love overflowed at his pitiful look.
She sighed for a while, and marveled at Sun Fugui's unique skills.
Thinking of Sun Fugui's domineering way of pursuing girls, he instantly had the idea of becoming his apprentice and learning his skills.
After all, young readers like to see a domineering boss chasing his wife and watching him dote on her.
As long as the master worships well, the plot of her female boss will definitely go well! A perfect ending soon and defeating the virus is just around the corner!
Cao Feng said, "You're not too late. Come and sit down."
Sun Fugui and Sun Shaoqi didn't know how many meals they had been hungry. They sat down without saying a word and started eating.
The two of them ate voraciously and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
Seeing Sun Fugui stuffing himself with several egg dumplings and Sun Shaoqi stuffing himself with two soft and sticky pig's trotters, Grandma Liu was afraid they would choke, so she quickly said, "Eat slowly, no one is snatching it from you!"
Sun Shaoqi glanced at his father and made an indistinct "woohoo" sound.
Sun Fugui glanced at his son and made an indistinct "woohoo" sound.
Qin Tiantian was confused: "What are they talking about?"
The little Pixiu, who was eating seriously, raised his chubby hand holding the rice spoon and said, "I'm here! My brother said that Uncle Fugui will snatch the pig's trotters from him! Uncle Fugui said that my brother will snatch his dumplings!"
Qin Tiantian gave the little girl a thumbs up: "Amazing, a level 10 translation expert."
The little Pixiu tilted its head back, puffed out its watermelon belly, and said with immense pride: "Pipi is so awesome! Pipi has incredible magical powers that can bless everyone with prosperity in the new year!"
Everyone was amused by the little Pixiu's words, and the comments were full of:
"Hahahaha, make a fortune, make a fortune!"
"Pipi is so cute! Pipi, may I have a prosperous new year!"
"New Year's greetings, starting with loving Pippi!"
"How many meals have Xingxingzi and his son not eaten? Isn't that too miserable?"
Sun Shaoqi swallowed the food in his mouth and said aggrievedly, "Seventh Mom, you don't know how miserable I am. My dad gave the servants a day off today, and we ate at KFC all day. It was so disgusting. I can't stand it! After eating Seventh Mom's happy food, who can still eat those fast foods! Wuuwuwuwuwuwu..."
Sun Fugui: "How dare you, you little brat? You've been with your mother for so long, and you haven't even learned a few dishes? What's the use of you? You could lay more eggs than dumplings!"
Sun Shaoqi: “…”
Xue Qi picked some food for Sun Fugui's bowl and filled it up with food.
Sun Fugui was moved: "77, you still love me!"
Xue Qi corrected him: "I only love my husband, don't flatter yourself. I have something to discuss with you later, eat quickly and come with me to the study."
Sun Fugui was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
Xue Qi said seriously, "I want to become your disciple and learn from you."
Sun Fugui: "Hmm?"
Xue Qi: "I want to learn how to be a domineering CEO."
Everyone naturally thought that Xue Qi wanted to learn from Sun Fugui how to be a female entrepreneur.
Likes in the comments:
"77 is awesome! He doesn't forget to learn business tips during the New Year!"
"I'm really a role model for my generation. This is the self-cultivation of a female boss!"
"Hahaha, President Fugui can't eat this meal for free. You must teach me your business experience!"
"From having only 10,000 followers, I watched her become a top internet celebrity. I've witnessed 77's transformation into a top female CEO. I'm so happy for her! Congratulations to 77 on becoming the top female CEO in the new year!"
…
After the meal, the teenagers played games in the living room while Cao Feng went to the kitchen to clean up the mess.
The tall and long-legged handsome man wore a lotus-edged apron, and his handsomeness overflowed the screen.
In the live broadcast room, fans sighed:
"To be honest, Fenfen is really a good family man! qaq"
"1. Fenfen looks so handsome in a ruffled lace!"
"Do you think Fenfen is gentle yet powerful when doing housework? She's completely different from those stay-at-home husbands."
"I get it, really cool! I'm the most handsome, whether I'm in the living room or in the kitchen! If anyone dares to call me a gigolo, I'll tear his face off."
"The only thing about the 7FenTian couple that hasn't had any keyboard warriors bashing them is the livestream itself. On Weibo, there's just too much disgusting comments. It's just too bad."
"Fans should just keep their own business to themselves, leave them alone!"
"While you're enjoying Fenfen washing dishes here, I want to watch 77 and Fuguier learn from them. It's a pity they don't broadcast it live! Oh. I want to know what the frivolous Fugui is like when he gets serious_(:3」∠)_..."
"I want to see Fuguier being serious 10086."
…
In the study.
Sun Fugui sat seriously on the sofa in the reception room, using his brain to organize a PPT of dozens of pages for Xue Qi.
He sat upright, holding up his teacup, and said calmly, "Do you want to start from my entrepreneurial history, or from the time after my success? How to be a good boss is a very profound knowledge. I can teach you well."
Xue Qi bowed to him and said, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."
Sun Fugui took a sip of tea with great enjoyment.
Xue Qi said, "Let's start by telling you how you pursue girls. It's best to tell me your mentality, methods, and all those corny lines you use."
She opened her laptop and prepared to take notes.
Sun Fugui: "Are these important?"
Xue Qi nodded. "It's important. After all, I have to be a domineering female boss chasing Cao Feng. I have to try my best to maintain the image of a sweet and doting female boss. It doesn't matter if it's a little greasy, as long as I can express my love for Fenfen. It's best to use passionate means to let everyone in the world know that I love him, dote on him, and that he is the only one I can have. It's best to show that if anyone dares to mess with him or bully him, I, Xue Qi, will destroy his paradise!"
Sun Fugui spat out a mouthful of water.
"puff--"
Xue Qi: "What's wrong?"
Sun Fugui: “…”
——Sister, you are already very greasy, okay! "
