Mother Shen read out the dishes one by one, and the Shen family members sitting in the living room were so scared that they froze.
The originally warm and relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Everyone was staring at Aunt Li and Mother Shen who were standing at the kitchen door.
Then I heard Aunt Li say, "These are all home-cooked dishes. They are not too difficult. Madam, you can cook them all, right?"
Mother Shen nodded shamelessly, "It should be fine. After all, it's a home-cooked meal."
Everyone in the living room: "..."
After seeing Aunt Li off, Mother Shen was very conscious. She picked up her apron and went to the kitchen.
“Cough cough cough…”
Old Master Shen suddenly coughed violently a few times. Shen Hao received the signal, stood up immediately and shouted.
"Stop."
Everyone was stunned and looked at Father Shen with great admiration. He actually dared to speak to Mother Shen like that. It seemed that he was not going to have a good New Year.
Mother Shen's face immediately darkened.
"Shen Hao, what are you yelling about?"
Father Shen walked over angrily, snatched the apron from Mother Shen's hand, and said in a bad tone, "Who asked you to cook? Is this what you should do?
I married you to let you enjoy life and worship you as my ancestor, not to make you a housewife. Men in our Shen family would not let women go to the kitchen to serve the elders of the family.
You hurried over, sat down, watched TV and ate melon seeds. You were not allowed to get up until I told you to.
Day by day, it makes me worry.”
While Mother Shen was still not able to react, Mr. Shen pushed her down onto the sofa.
Mother Shen suddenly choked, and her face turned a little red from being irritated by such rough care.
The rest of the Shen family said: We've learned something. It's so clear and unconventional to say that he doesn't want to eat the food cooked by Shen's mother. Shen's father really tried his best!
Father Shen threw the apron in his hand into Shen Tongwen's arms and said in a tone that could not be refused, "How can a man in the Shen family let a woman do the work? Go and cook quickly."
Shen Tongwen: “…” He was innocent. He was originally one of the people eating melons, so how come the melon fell on his head while he was eating?
Shen Tongwen said aggrievedly, "I only know how to make a mess."
The rest: "..."
Eating a big pot of food for New Year’s Eve dinner is really unique!
Xu Mo sighed speechlessly, stood up, and said, "I'll do it."
Shen Tongwen rolled his eyes at Xu Mo, "Have you forgotten that you can't cook?"
Xu Mo ignored him and went straight into the kitchen.
Shen Jiaojiao said with great pride, "Xu Mo's cooking is really delicious now."
"Xu Mo can cook!"
The rest of the people said in unison that they were shocked and found it unbelievable.
So, the group of people who were originally sitting on the sofa now gathered at the kitchen door, watching the tall man inside washing and cutting vegetables skillfully.
Everything is in order and under control. It really looks like he knows how to cook!
It is said that men who work hard are the most attractive.
At this moment, Xu Mo was radiating a dazzling glow from head to toe, and he looked both handsome and gentle.
The Shen family looked at each other in bewilderment. Old Master Shen sighed repeatedly, almost bursting into tears, "Finally, there is someone in our Shen family who can cook."
He kicked Shen Tongwen, who was lying on the door frame, into the kitchen.
He said disdainfully, "Go help my good grandson-in-law."
Shen Tongwen staggered a few times before standing still, looking as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
Hehe...Xu Mo actually became the good grandson-in-law, huh.
Shen Tongwen was devastated.
After all, he is Grandpa's grandson! But now it seems that Grandpa doesn't need a grandson at all.
Because he only has a good grandson and son-in-law now.
After gnashing his teeth, he reluctantly went to wash the potatoes.
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Xu Mo is really smart and hardworking, much better than the other three in my family."
Shen Tongwen, who was injured again for no reason, said: "..."
Sure enough, whenever you praise someone, you have to step on someone else.
He was the one being trampled in the mud.
Mother Shen added, "Let's not just stand there, let's help wash and pick the vegetables!"
Mother Shen brought all the dishes from the kitchen to the dining table.
The whole family gathered together to pick vegetables.
People were talking and joking, and time passed in a flash.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the aroma of cooking wafted from the kitchen.
All members of the Shen family lined up to bring out the dishes cooked by Xu Mo.
Soon, the empty table was replaced by delicious food.
Mr. Shen took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and prepared to have a drink later.
Mother Shen put away the dishes, glanced at the clock on the wall, and said, "Why hasn't Tongwen come back to pick up Shumo yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
Shen Tongwen brought Xia Shumo into the house.
Xia Shumo held the gift in her hand and stood at the door obediently, calling out, "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, dear Xu Mo, happy New Year."
"Shumo, I was wondering why you guys haven't come back yet, but now the devil has arrived. Come in quickly, or you'll get frozen on the way!"
Mother Shen went over, took the gift from Xia Shumo, and welcomed her in.
Shen Jiaojiao went over and took Xia Shumo's arm, smiling, "Sister Xia, Happy New Year!"
Xia Shumo smiled gently, took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into Shen Jiaojiao.
"This is New Year's money for you in advance."
Shen Jiaojiao took the heavy red envelope and did not refuse it. She put it into her pocket like a money-grubber and joked, "This is probably what we call a good start. Sister Xia, I wish you and my brother a prosperous life, a long and happy life, and a loving relationship until we grow old together.
I also wish you all the best and happiness every day, and that you and my brother will be together forever."
"Jiaojiao's mouth is really good at talking!" Xia Shumo also looked at Shen Tongwen jokingly, "Tongwen, remember to give your sister a big red envelope!"
Shen Tongwen's eyes were full of smiles as he said, "We have them all. You all have them all."
Mother Shen said with a smile, "You little guys, stop standing there and talking, come and have dinner."
The whole family sat together, full of joy.
Mother Shen asked, "Shumo, would you like some wine?"
"No, I'll just have a drink."
Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly offered her courtesy, "I'll pour Sister Xia a drink."
As soon as he picked up the drink bottle, Xu Mo snatched it away.
The man's eyes were gentle, and he said, "I'll do it."
Xu Mo poured a drink for Xia Shumo, and then filled the glasses for all the ladies in the family.
The smile on Mr. Shen's face has never disappeared since this morning.
He opened a bottle of Moutai and poured it for Xu Mo beside him.
Xu Mo had just finished pouring his drink when he turned around and saw that his grandfather was pouring wine for him. He was really scared.
But it was too late to refuse, because the glass was already full.
Xu Mo said, "Grandpa, I can do it myself."
Mr. Shen said indifferently, "You've worked the hardest today, so what's wrong with pouring you a glass of wine?"
Xu Mo said nothing more and just looked at Shen Jiaojiao.
I mean, can I drink?
Shen Jiaojiao nodded amusedly.
But if he gets drunk and loses control tonight, she won't be able to help him! Shen Jiaojiao thought evilly.
When Shen Tongwen saw Old Master Shen pouring wine for Xu Mo, he felt heavy and complicated.
I felt even more sad in my heart.
