Chapter 185 New Year
Lu Xiang's skewers made everyone confused.
Liu Pang ate the most delicious meal.
He missed the hotpot last time, so he ate the most skewers this time.
Fat Liu said, "We'll eat it again next time I buy some meat." He had eaten mutton and beef before, but none of them were as delicious as this.
Lu Xiang said, "You can make this at home!" There are only a few seasonings for grilled skewers. As long as the meat is fresh, it will taste good no matter how it is grilled.
But Fat Liu insisted: "No, it won't taste the same without you." He felt that the same food sold by those who set up stalls or opened restaurants was not as delicious as what Lu Xiang made.
Don't bother with that.
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll roast the lamb leg next time." The lamb she bought from Fatty last time was not wasted at all. She could use the bones to make broth, roast skewers, or make hot pot. There were always ways to eat it.
But roasting lamb legs takes more effort than roasting skewers. After threading the lamb legs, turn off the heat and roast for at least two hours.
When Second Brother Fu heard this, he said, "We've benefited a lot this year!" Ever since Fourth Brother married Lu Xiang, they have benefited from many good things.
Whenever Lu Xiang has something delicious, she always thinks of them.
Mr. Lu has never eaten so many delicious foods.
He couldn’t stop eating the hotpot last time, and this time the barbecue was even more to his liking.
After the meal, he sat in the house with the four brothers of the Fu family and drank some wine.
Fatty Liu didn't join in the drinking. He just ate his food. He enjoyed the skewers so much that he even drank four or five bowls of the ordinary millet porridge. He left when he couldn't eat any more. He looked like he wished he could live next door to Lu Xiang.
Mr. Lu was a poor, honest man in the village, and since he had no son, the villagers looked down on him. Not to mention inviting him to drink!
Now there are so many young men drinking with him, it’s so beautiful.
Plus, his son-in-law was there, so he became happier the more he drank, and before he knew it, he drank a little too much.
Lu Xiang wanted to go over and stop them.
Xiao Cailian stopped him and said, "If they like to drink, they can drink!" Then she pulled Lu Xiang aside, took out five yuan from her pocket, and said, "I know it's not enough, but this is all I brought. Take it first."
Xiao Cailian thought that they had just separated, and now that Fu Qinhui had resigned, it sounded nice to say that he was starting his own business, but in reality the factory was still an empty shell, so how could he spend so much money?
Lu Xiang bought her clothes and treated her to meat, so she had to make up for it a little.
Although five yuan cannot buy so much meat, it is already a lot for Xiao Cailian's generation. After all, if it were up to her, she would not be willing to spend so much meat in one meal.
Lu Xiang said, "It's okay to spend money. Besides, eating and drinking is not a waste. We should live in the present."
This sentence appeared twenty years earlier. Although I have never heard of it, I think it makes a lot of sense.
Mrs. Fu Er happened to come over and heard this, and said, "No wonder the village chief likes to chat with you! You must be knowledgeable." She had the same idea as Xiao Cailian and also wanted to make up some money.
But Lu Xiang didn't want it at all.
Xiao Cailian used to be a very careful person, but now she likes to spend money on food.
After eating and drinking well, I found that the grandchildren's hair was shiny and the family members had rosy complexions. Even if they didn't tell others that they had eaten delicious food, others could know that they were living a good life.
They used to bluff when they had no money, but now they are secretive when they have money. However, the villagers still look up to them.
Xiao Cailian said with emotion: "I have lived my life for these children. As long as you are well, we can eat whatever we want in the future."
This change in mindset was not easy. The more time my mother-in-law spent with Lu Xiang, the more she gradually improved.
The host and guests enjoyed the meal very much. After the meal, Lu Xiang wanted to clean up, and her sisters-in-law quickly cleaned it up for them.
He smiled and said, "Since you've treated us, we can't eat for free. We can feel more at ease if we do some work!"
Lu Xiang said: "Why are you saying that? We are all family."
After packing up everything, everyone was very happy and went home satisfied.
After eating and drinking enough, you can go home and fall asleep as soon as you lie down. This is a good life.
Lu Xiang's room was warm and cozy.
After cleaning up, Lu Xiang lay on the bed. Soon Fu Qinhui came over and hugged Lu Xiang tightly.
Lu Xiang was still fiddling with the sapphire necklace hidden in her chest. She hadn't taken it out today, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Lu Xiang leaned against Fu Qinhui.
Fu Qinhui said, "Are you tired?" Lu Xiang snorted. It was true. She didn't feel anything when she was busy before, but now that she was free, she felt sore all over.
Fu Qinhui rubbed Lu Xiang gently. Lu Xiang felt very comfortable with the massage, and soon she could hear the sound of even breathing.
Fu Qinhui was stunned to see Lu Xiang had fallen asleep like that. She was completely defenseless.
Fu Qinhui gently put her on the bed, looked at Lu Xiang's face in the light, and couldn't help but kiss her cheek.
Then he covered her with a blanket and lay down beside her.
I feel that this is the happiest thing in the world.
…
The Chinese New Year is here in a blink of an eye. This year is very special. Everyone comes to Luxiang to celebrate the New Year.
It was also agreed early on that Lu Xiang didn't have to do anything or cook, they would do everything.
Lu Xiang's yard is big, so we can expand it. Invite Lu Xiang's parents to come along. It's important to have a lively New Year's celebration. Otherwise, Lu's parents will be bored in their little house and have nothing to eat.
The Lu family is not a large family. Last time, Mr. Lu developed a close relationship with the younger generation of the Fu family while drinking with them, and he is looking forward to drinking with them again.
When the villagers heard that the in-laws were celebrating the New Year together, which was their first time, they were all a little envious. Look, at least their family was peaceful and they could still be together!
This time, every family contributed something. My second sister-in-law gave a chicken, and my third sister-in-law asked someone to buy some live fish, as the river was frozen in winter and live fish were in short supply. My eldest sister-in-law also bought some cooked food.
Xiao Cailian and Lu's mother paid for the rest of the meal.
I made twelve dishes, each of which was very large in portion, so you could eat as much as you wanted.
The staple food is steamed buns and unwrapped dumplings. They are all made of refined rice and flour, but the fillings are different.
Lu Xiang wanted to take over the responsibility, but her family members said that it was too hard for her and that someone else should take care of it.
So Lu Xiang waited for dinner with her godmother, which felt quite fresh.
After a while, it was time for dinner. My godmother was feeling better now and could sit down and eat with everyone. During the meal, some neighbors also took time to come and visit.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, the neighbors envied them, saying, "You guys are so nice." For a family like theirs, it's good enough if the in-laws don't fight! Forget about getting together.
After a short visit, the neighbors went back. During the Chinese New Year, every family took out the delicious food that they usually wouldn't eat. Not only the children were happy, but the adults were happy too.
The dishes were served here and everyone sat down.
Fu Qinhui poured drinks for everyone at the table. The men had white wine, and the women and children had soda, which was given by his eldest brother.
When they were sitting together, everyone wanted Fu Qinhui to say a few words. Fu Qinhui raised his glass without any stage fright and said, "Thank you all for being part of your family. I am really happy."
He didn't use any special words, but was full of sincerity, which warmed the heart of the person who spoke.
Fu Qinhui raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy liquor in his throat made his brows frown for a moment, and the atmosphere was ignited.
Mr. Lu was the first to shout, "Good." The others applauded and drank from their glasses.
There were already sounds of firecrackers outside, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, they also started setting off firecrackers. The crackling sound outside filled the house with warmth.
