He lowered his head and added some firewood to the stove. The smell of burning wood and the faint aroma emanating from the pot, mixed with the crispness of the cold air, made Jiang Cha feel as if he had returned to many years ago.
Looking back at the living room, under the warm light, several friends were discussing her things, laughing and making the scene seem particularly lively.
The old father sat on the sofa, leisurely drinking tea and watching the Spring Festival Gala.
The children were playing and fighting in the alley, setting off small firecrackers from time to time.
This is probably the meaning of the Chinese New Year, right?
"What are you doing? You're not even wearing any clothes. It's so cold outside. Come in quickly. Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
It was a rare opportunity for her to sigh, but they woke her up with a shout. She trembled as she entered the house, then sneezed unexpectedly, earning everyone's laughter.
"Are you stupid? How cold is it outside? Why don't you put on a coat? You're catching a cold like an idiot."
Jiang Cha rolled his eyes at Zhao Yibei. Even though he had white hair, he still spoke in the same tone.
Looking at what the people at the table picked, the two bottles of wine were not the most expensive ones, but several boxes of chocolates were opened.
There was nothing left, and I thought they were so excited that they took out the most expensive thing!
"You're still being polite to me? Let's drink this today, and take the rest with us when we go back. If you like it, just let me know. I'll be staying here permanently, so it won't be easy for me to eat whatever I want."
After saying that, he opened the bottle of wine with a gold cap and prepared to drink it while eating.
"Don't you allow us to be polite? Adults should always be polite!"
She said, who doesn’t understand who?
Soon the dumplings were wrapped and the reunion dinner after many years began.
"Cheers! I wish us a safe and healthy new year! Everything goes smoothly!"
Because of work, this is the best blessing for them!
"I don't think this wine has any special taste."
"Exactly, I thought it would be amazing!"
"Doubao, what are these dishes? They look quite fresh!"
Gun Ge pointed at the dishes she had added to the table and asked what ginger tea was.
The few people who were busy drinking just now quickly picked up chopsticks to study it. They had never seen it before and it looked a little strange.
"This? It's bear paw, bought specifically from the Russians. It's very common there. Let's just eat it behind closed doors and don't make a fuss. That's venison, it tastes similar to beef."
The plate in front of me is kangaroo meat, which is quite tender. The one over there is king crab legs. I asked them to cook them in advance, so I just put them back into the wok.
Xiao Hou had sent the ginger tea and other things over, and she only saw the hard goods when she got home. She didn't know how he got them back, but anyway, these dishes today were an eye-opener for them.
"Fuck! You even brought this thing back? I have to have a bite. This is available in the Man Han Banquet, but it's a pity we can't see it here."
As he spoke, Guangjin picked up a piece, and before he sat down, the plate was clean in a few swipes.
Jiang Cha held the chopsticks, but couldn't even grab a piece. This group of people didn't leave even a piece for her, including Comrade Lao Jiang!
"Please leave some for me!"
"You still want this? Capitalist, get out of the way, let me have a taste of it!"
Jiang Cha wanted to hit Lei Zi with chopsticks. What was that? He was squeezing her while eating something in his mouth.
"I haven't eaten it either! All I eat outside all day is bloody beef, raw fish, raw shrimp, raw squid, and raw horse meat.
I haven't had anything decent to eat, and my life has been miserable. Since I came back, everything I eat tastes delicious. It's no exaggeration to say that even pickled cabbage lumps taste better than those things. I wish I could eat ten meals a day!"
The more I talk about it, the sadder I feel. I didn't expect that the biggest difficulty after so many years away from home was eating.
I haven't had any delicious food in all these years. The capitalists' wealth is earned by eating delicious meals.
So there were no friends at the table, only rivals who were competing with her for food!
As a friend, you can buy her expensive things as you like, but you can't snatch the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs on the table from her.
There is no friend under the chopsticks. It is absolutely not allowed to snatch food from her mouth.
At the lunch table, everyone reminisced about the past and discussed countermeasures against those companies, so eating was quite distracting.
The dinner was a whirlwind of chopsticks. The earlier joy was gone, and the table was filled with the smoke of silent battle. It was like a battle between two opponents, each fighting for his own position, and the speed of the opponent's hands was the key.
Finally, everyone ended this "battle" by holding on to their waists!
