For this New Year's Eve dinner, Grandma Li mainly cooked meat. Before Lu Zixiao put his stir-fried dishes into the wok, the three of them had already brought over pots and bowls.
Yang Feng hurried forward and took the trembling small basin from Grandpa Li's hand, and gently scolded him: "Grandpa Li, please don't bother with this. If you spill the vegetables on the ground, everyone will be half crying and half laughing."
"What's the meaning?" Grandpa Li asked, "Who is crying and who is happy?"
"We cry." Yang Feng pointed at the two cats and dogs on the ground that were drooling with greed. "They are not only happy, but they might even die of fullness."
"Go away!" Grandpa Li raised his crutch and was about to poke him, but Yang Feng dodged it nimbly.
"Grandpa Li, your accuracy has decreased." Lu Jiaming grinned and came closer. "Before, you always hit me right on the butt. That guy gave me such a hard time that I almost thought little Jiaming was dead."
"Hey, you little bastard!" Grandpa Li scolded with a smile, raised his crutch again and ran towards him, "Then I will continue to practice on you, come here!"
The old man and the child were playing in the yard, and two other little ones were standing in front of the dining table, staring at a bowl of steaming pork ribs.
"Brother Yangyang, why did you serve a separate bowl?" Xiaobao asked puzzledly.
"Especially for you," Li Mingyang chuckled. "This is filled with the crispy, boneless steaks you love. Grandma even stewed it for a little longer. Eat more later..."
"No, this bowl is for you, eat as much as you want, eat them all."
Xiao Bao opened his grape-like dark, sparkling eyes. After hearing what he said, he immediately smiled with curved eyebrows and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Brother Yangyang. I will definitely eat a lot today and be full. I am not afraid of gaining weight!"
Li Mingyang held his little hand tenderly and said, "You are not fat to begin with. This little bit of baby fat is just right. It's very cute."
"You guys are responsible for my baby fat," Xiaobao said, hugging his arm with a smile, "Brother Yangyang is the best~"
Lu Jiayang strode into the living room and immediately saw two little heads sticking out from beside the table. He smiled and said jokingly, "I was wondering why I hadn't seen Xiaobao for a long time. It turns out that Mingyang, you little brat, kidnapped him."
"I didn't kidnap him," Li Mingyang blinked innocently, "Xiaobao stayed with me voluntarily."
"Okay, okay," Lu Jiayang shrugged. "Now it's time for Xiaobao to accompany me."
"...No." Li Mingyang curled his lips, "I still want to stay with Xiaobao for a while longer."
Lu Jiayang tutted his words and couldn't help laughing: "Look at how aggrieved you are. It's as if I'm going to kidnap Xiaobao and he won't be able to come back."
"Give Xiaobao to me quickly, I, your brother, can't wait any longer."
"Then I am still his brother Yangyang," Li Mingyang said righteously.
Lu Jiayang raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his mouth and said jokingly: "If that's the case, then I am also his Yang, Yang brother."
Li Mingyang: “…………”
Xiaobao was laughing at their conversation and said in a crisp voice, "Third brother, Yangyang brother, stop fighting. I'm with you all, I'm with you all~"
Lu Ziyi walked out of the bedroom and said helplessly, "That's enough of you two childish brats. Stop causing trouble for Xiaobao and help big brother by serving the dishes and rice."
"All right……"
Lu Jiayang and Li Mingyang responded at the same time, then walked out the door dejectedly.
"Second brother, let me help too," Xiaobao said proactively.
"No need, dear," Lu Ziyi smiled, "just stay here and help me set the table."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiayang and Li Mingyang were in sync again. They paused, turned their heads and looked at Lu Ziyi with a faint gaze.
Second brother/Brother Ziyi, you are quite a cunning person!
Lu Zixiao and Grandma Li put in all their efforts for this New Year's Eve dinner, preparing more than 20 dishes. The original dining table at home was almost full, so Lu Jiaming and Lu Yuxuan had to go to Grandma Li's house and move another table over.
Although this group of people have gathered in this room countless times, the New Year's atmosphere is always different from usual and different from any other festival.
As the firecrackers outside crackled one after another, each time announcing that the rhythm of the New Year had reached its climax, the family was reunited, and the festive atmosphere was strong.
They were still talking and laughing around the table, toasting each other with happiness and satisfaction.
"I have some good news for you two," Lu Zixiao said with a smile as he put down his chopsticks. "Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Is there a difference?" Lu Ziyi patted him with a smile, "Don't keep me in suspense, tell me now."
Lu Zixiao looked at their expectant expressions and said with a smile, "The money my aunt asked for for the house has been fully returned."
"Really?" Yang Feng was surprised and happy. "I thought there was no hope of getting the money after she was sentenced."
"I heard she had already written the relevant documents before she was detained," Lu Zixiao said, "but because she was sentenced later, the transfer of the money had to be handled by the court, so it took a while longer."
Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes and murmured, "Fortunately... she still did something human in her life."
Lu Ziyi silently grabbed his hand under the table.
"It doesn't matter if it takes a long time, as long as the money comes back," Lu Jiaming said excitedly, "Brother, what's the other good news?"
Lu Zixiao took a sip of his drink slowly and said slowly, "My uncle took the initiative to return the money he had received in the past few years. He also said that from now on, we are even and will not have any further contact."
