On New Year's Eve, many small shops along the street are closed except for the large supermarkets that are open all year round.
People walking on the road were also in a hurry, carrying large and small bags, rushing back to celebrate the New Year with their families.
For most Chinese people, celebrating the Spring Festival, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, and gathering with family and friends to have a New Year's Eve dinner are important events that cannot be taken lightly.
Wenxi's family also started busy early in the morning.
We had originally planned to spend the New Year at the Lan family, but several of Aunt Lan's apprentices failed to buy train tickets and were unable to leave, so the number of people attending the reunion party suddenly increased.
Everyone discussed having hotpot and barbecue, but there were too many people and it was hard to accommodate them at Aunt Lan's house, so they changed the reunion venue to Wenxi's house.
Seeing so many guests coming at once, Xiao Ba jumped for excitement. He was so excited that he asked for food, drinks and petting everywhere. He accepted all the fruits and snacks, and his little belly was bulging with food.
Wen Xi was afraid that it would have diarrhea.
It’s not an easy job to be a poop scooper, especially when it comes to rabbit poop. Anyone who has done it knows!
She glanced at the little foodie and said, "Go back to your place, Uncle Ba! You've already exceeded your limit today."
“Bing!”
"No reply? Fine, I'll roast you later."
Threatened by the rabbit's body, Xiao Ba raised his little face and glanced at Wen Xi sadly. His blue eyes were wide open, making him look cute and pitiful.
Wen Xi remained indifferent and pretended to pounce on it and pick it up.
Xiao Ba was so frightened that he trembled and even dropped the fruit in his mouth. He turned around and stumbled into his nest, not forgetting to use his little claws to fork the nest door...
Looking at its frightened little appearance, everyone burst into laughter.
"Xixi, Xiaoba is so smart. He can understand what you say!" Yunshan looked envious.
"What spirituality? This guy is just afraid of death."
The two of them were chatting and laughing while setting the table.
As people in the dark culinary world who don't know the difference between grains, they can only do these odd jobs. The kitchen is now Lan Yun's home turf, and several little apprentices are helping her.
On the big round table, the hot pot and the grill pan were placed side by side, and plates of freshly processed ingredients were brought out. Afraid that there would not be enough for everyone, Aunt Lan also specially prepared a few of her signature home-cooked dishes.
The whole room was filled with fragrance. The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala was being broadcast live on the phone in the living room. Everyone sat down together and were about to raise their glasses to celebrate the New Year when the doorbell rang.
Who is it at this time?
Wen Xi put down his chopsticks and went to open the door.
"Suprise! Happy New Year, Sister Xixi!"
As soon as he opened the door, Wen Xi was sprayed with colorful strips all over his body.
"Xingzai?"
She tore off the colored strips that blocked her view and was stunned when she saw the old man, the child, and He Tingyan in front of her.
"Why are you here?"
She thought that Mr. He would be recuperating at home during this period.
"Grandpa has been confined by my uncle, and the kitchen is in trouble again." Xingzi held her hand and whispered.
“…”
"Sister Xixi, since you are with my uncle, you won't mind if we come and have a meal with you, right?" The little one blinked his big black and white eyes and said pitifully.
"Of course... I don't mind. Welcome, welcome!"
Now that things have come to this, what else can she say?
He quickly moved aside and welcomed the old and the young into the house.
The soup pot on the table was already boiling, emitting steam, and it felt warm just by looking at it.
Xingzai is cute, has a sweet mouth, and quickly gets along well with the others.
He Tingyan walked into the kitchen familiarly, washed the organic vegetables grown on his own farm, and fried or boiled them. Soon the table was filled.
