When the triplets turned 100 days old, no wine was made.
It was just the family, including Sister Sheng's family, and we had a hot pot meal at their house.
The chicken was free-range, sliced and plated, and seafood, mutton, beef, and offal were also prepared.
Everyone huddled around a pot, eating until their foreheads were sweating.
Their dipping sauce was spicy, but Ruan Yunxi ate the milder one, since she still had to breastfeed.
Gu Weizhou was in charge of cooking vegetables for Ruan Yunxi.
Everyone was very satisfied with having a hot pot meal in the dead of winter.
Little Cherry and the others wanted more after they'd eaten some.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, Ruan Yunxi asked Sister-in-law Sheng, "Are you going back to your hometown this year?"
Sister-in-law Sheng shook her head: "Cherry's father has to work this year and can't come back."
"That's fine too. Come spend the New Year with us in the family compound. We can celebrate together and it'll be lively!" Ruan Yunxi invited.
Sister-in-law Sheng smiled and agreed: "I'll kill my goose then and we'll have stewed goose in an iron pot."
Ruan Yunxi almost drooled: "Don't make it too spicy."
"No." Sister-in-law Sheng knew that Ruan Yunxi couldn't eat it and had to avoid certain foods.
She can stew it first, and once it's cooked, she can serve a portion to Ruan Yunxi, then add chili peppers and stew it for a while longer, so that everyone can enjoy their preferred flavor.
Then, stick a ring of potstickers on top, they'll be crispy and delicious!
I just had hot pot, and now I'm craving braised goose in an iron pot.
Sure enough, when there's nothing to do in winter, all I crave is food.
As the year drew to a close, Lian City experienced three more heavy snowfalls, turning the ground into a blanket of white.
The fawn was placed in the old woman's room to keep it warm.
Ruan Yunxi stocked up on plenty of vegetables for the deer, enough for it to eat.
During the day, they would also come to Ruan Yunxi's place to join in the fun. It was warm and crowded there, and Xiao Lu liked to stick close to Ruan Yunxi.
Previously, the nanny was worried that the fawn might have insects, but now that she knows the fawn is clean and won't affect the triplets, she feels comfortable letting it roam around the house and treats it as a pet.
Moreover, when the triplets are being naughty, showing them a deer can effectively distract them.
Babies who are 100 days old are even more fun to play with, and it's a lot of fun to interact with them.
Gu Weizhou would tease them every day.
I even made them grin before bed.
I even dream about it at night with a smile on my face.
On the day before the Lunar New Year, Sister-in-law Sheng invited Ruan Yunxi and the others to her house for a stew in an iron pot. The chicken she killed wasn't hungry, but rather a small chicken stewed with mushrooms, along with potstickers and sweet potato starch. The aroma of the stew was incredibly appetizing.
Ruan Yunxi ate a potsticker; it was fragrant, crispy, and chewy.
Ruan Yunxi ate the big chicken leg, and Xiao Yingtao ate the other one.
Little Potato doesn't eat the big chicken leg; he likes to eat chicken wings, and both chicken wings are his.
They could eat the other parts as they pleased.
One chicken wasn't enough, so Sister Sheng added pork ribs as well. It was delicious, with the flavor of chicken and the meaty taste of pork ribs.
That's not all, they also added abalone and sea cucumber.
Sister-in-law Sheng said, "I picked them up while beachcombing in the summer. I didn't finish them, so I dried them. I soaked them last night and stewed them together today. It not only enhances the flavor but also tastes better."
As he spoke, he placed two abalones and a large sea cucumber on Ruan Yunxi's plate.
Ruan Yunxi couldn't finish the food. She ate one abalone, took a bite of the sea cucumber, and gave the rest to Gu Weizhou to help her finish it. She had already eaten a large chicken leg and was almost done eating.
I really can't eat a whole sea cucumber.
They ate and drank, and even had some tea afterward.
Ruan Yunxi drank plain water.
