Chapter 109 Extraordinary New Year's Eve Dinner
Mu was almost furious. The man said that to her, and she didn't expect that her son would also say that to her.
The daughter only stuffed two pieces of firewood aside and ignored the others.
She said she was helping, but she was the one doing everything.
If she wasn't afraid of the cold, she probably wouldn't even bother to put the firewood in.
Bai Yue rolled her eyes. She also looked down on her mother's cowardice. If she were in his place, she would definitely not let herself be bullied like this.
It’s all her own fault for being useless!
Mu cursed and emptied the pot to steam a few black-faced vegetable buns. This was their family's New Year's Eve dinner.
"Is his aunt in the kitchen?"
Mu's voice sounded outside the kitchen, but Mu didn't hear it. She wiped the hair that fell on her face, put it behind her ear, and then lifted the lid of the pot.
"Mother, it seems to be my second aunt."
"What is she doing here?"
Mu walked out of the kitchen with doubts, patted the dust off her body, and wiped her hair.
"Mom asked me to bring you some dumplings. Bring some plates."
Mu knew that the mother and daughter would offend people if they opened their mouths, so she simply stated her purpose and just wanted to report back quickly.
"oh!"
Mu wants to say that you are so kind?
I looked down and saw the white dumplings in the big wooden basin, and my mouth was watering.
When I wanted to turn back to get the plate, Bai Yue had already handed it to me.
Mu turned the dumplings over, emptied the plate, and turned to leave.
"Didn't you say there was a piece of pork? You didn't even give me any meat. How stingy!"
Mu paused, then walked away without looking back.
This cousin-in-law is really unreasonable. She is never satisfied no matter how much I give her. I should have given her nothing earlier.
The cold wind howled and night fell. Every household in Shiya Village lit up its lights. The outside of Bai Li's wooden building was hung with red lanterns, bright red and full of the atmosphere of the New Year.
The meal was served. There were many people in the Bai family, so one table couldn't accommodate them all, so they had to set up two tables.
Just as everyone sat down, a guest arrived.
Bai Zongshen lived in a small wooden house on the left side of the courtyard gate, and was the first person to see him when someone came.
When he saw Nangong Min knocking on the gate, he hurried down to open it.
"Major General, why are you here?"
"Well, come and see."
Nangong Min responded and led the two of them into the house.
When Bai Zongshen saw the figure of one of them, he realized it was the distinguished guest from two days ago. He quickly closed the gate and wanted to chase after him to chat.
Unfortunately, just as he turned around to close the door, the three people had already stepped onto the stairs of the wooden building next to him.
Bai Zongren heard the noise and came out, and saw Nangong Min hurriedly coming over.
"Why...are you here?"
"General Bai, I'm here to bring you good news!"
Nangong Min bowed and congratulated, and Shangguan Yu also congratulated loudly.
Someone next to them nodded, and several people walked up to the wooden building.
Bai Li heard the noise below and knew that Nangong Min was coming. He was confused, but still hurried out to greet him.
Nangong Min was followed by a man with extraordinary temperament. Although he was dressed simply, the majesty between his brows could not be concealed.
Bai Li bowed and saluted: "Major General Nangong, why are you here at this time?"
Nangong Min smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Bai Li, we are here to congratulate you."
Bai Li's mind moved slightly, and the man next to her nodded to her, confirming her guess.
"Oh, a distinguished guest is here. Come in quickly, come in quickly. It's time for dinner."
Li Mingyue helped Li out, and everyone went into the house under Li's warm greeting. Luo Yang and the other two hurriedly saluted when they saw Nangong Min. After the Bai family members greeted Nangong Min one by one, everyone sat down at the table.
Everyone knew Shangguan Yu next to Nangong Min. Nangong Min introduced another person to the Bai family and said, "This is Mr. Zhou."
The Bai family asked in unison, "Hello, Lord Zhou."
Zhou Yu nodded to the Bai family and reached out to press down.
The two dining tables were filled with delicious food, and the aroma was everywhere.
Nangong Min couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He hadn't eaten many of these dishes for a long time.
Bai Li said, "The presence of Major General Nangong and Lord Zhou adds a touch of brilliance to this New Year's Eve dinner."
"I have received a secret decree from the Emperor. He has overturned the case against your Bai family and restored your innocence. After the New Year, the rank of General Bai will be restored."
When Nangong Min said this, the Bai family members were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground. They couldn't believe what they heard.
Even the two little ones, Bai Liulang and Bai Yu, were as quiet as chickens and didn't make any noise when faced with all kinds of delicious food.
Zhou Yu nodded to confirm Nangong Min's words, and the Bai family dared to believe it.
"Your Majesty is wise, long live the Emperor!"
The Bai family members left their seats and knelt down at the door to express their gratitude to the emperor.
Bai Zongren looked up at the emperor, who smiled back at him. He then followed his family in kowtows and expressing his gratitude.
"Alright, get up and eat. I'll report your sincere gratitude to the Emperor, and he'll be very pleased."
The Bai family, young and old, all stood up and returned to their seats as instructed.
During the dinner, everyone laughed and talked because of the good news that the Bai family had been rehabilitated.
Li picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Lord Zhou: "Try this fish, it means abundance every year."
He picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Nangong Min, "Eat, everyone, eat!"
Zhou Yu nodded and praised: "It tastes delicious, thank you, old lady."
Bai Li raised his glass to the emperor and said, "May our Great Zhou be peaceful and prosperous, and our country forever strong."
Zhou Yu drank it all in one gulp: "I also hope that our people can live and work in peace and happiness, and our country can prosper."
The emperor and his minister were in a state of confusion. Only Bai Zongren knew Zhou Yu's identity, and only he could understand.
With the two of them starting the conversation, everyone opened up and drank happily. Nangong Min asked inappropriately, "What kind of wine is this? It's so delicious."
"I brought it back from Simon. It's a fruit wine. Isn't it delicious?"
This is the wine in the space. In his previous life, Bai Li loved to drink a couple of glasses, so there were always a few boxes in the space.
The Bai family is easy to fool, but Nangong Min and the others are not.
Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Bai Li thought quickly and traced the source of the wine.
"No wonder, even in my Great Zhou there is no wine as fragrant and delicious as this."
"It's delicious, drink more. Lord Zhou, please. Major General Nangong, please."
"Okay, okay, don't be so reserved, just treat it as normal."
Everyone was no longer polite, and they picked up their chopsticks quickly, eating the braised pork, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork tenderloin and other hard dishes.
Reach out, while Nangong Min and Zhou Yu like the dumplings stuffed with cabbage and sauerkraut.
A New Year's Eve dinner is full of warmth and joy.
Luo Yang and the other two were reserved at first, but when they saw that Nangong Min and the others were not paying attention to them, they slowly relaxed and immersed themselves in the delicious food.
This New Year's Eve dinner was a great enjoyment for all the guests.
Only Bai Dalang was absent-minded and felt bored.
He looked at one of the doors from time to time, and Bai Li saw his worried expression.
She also couldn't understand why Zhou Yu suddenly felt unwell and retreated into the room just after Nangong Min and the other two arrived.
But looking at how fast she was running, it didn't seem like she was feeling uncomfortable, but rather like she was fleeing in panic.
But why did she want to avoid Namgoong Min?
