Chapter 102 New Year's Eve Dinner



This was the first Chinese New Year that Su Ruanruan had celebrated after traveling through time. She was very happy and was planning what New Year's goods to prepare at home every day.

Unfortunately, she was pregnant and it was impossible for her to go to the commune to buy it. Fu Wenjing also didn't have time to go. After some discussion, they could only ask Niu Guifang for help.

"Sister-in-law, you know, I'm pregnant now, and I can't go to the commune to buy things. Wen Jing doesn't have much time. Can you buy some for me when you go shopping?"

Su Ruanruan spoke seriously, but Niu Guifang just laughed. "Ruanmei, look at you, you look so serious, I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just this. What's wrong with this? Tell me what you want to buy, and I will definitely buy it for you."

Su Ruanruan was already a little embarrassed to trouble Niu Guifang to help buy it, so how could she specifically ask Niu Guifang to buy something?

"You don't have to buy anything special. Sister-in-law, whatever New Year's goods you prepare, just buy some for us."

"Okay, then I'll buy it."

Niu Guifang thought for a moment and said, "Zhengjun and Zhengqi are both old, not only sensible but also strong. If they follow me, they can help carry some things, but Hongya can't do that. Soft girl, I'll let Hongya stay and keep you company, what do you think?"

"That's as it should be!" Su Ruanruan said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, you have to help us buy things, and it's not my responsibility to take care of Hongya. Besides, Hongya is so well-behaved, I love her so much!"

After the two of them had discussed it, Niu Guifang left Hongya behind and left with her two sons.

Hong Ya had already become very familiar with Su Runruan, and she did not cry or make a fuss because of Niu Guifang's departure. Instead, she sat quietly on the kang and looked at Su Runruan.

It would definitely not work for two people to stare at each other. Su Ruanruan thought about it and took a pen and paper from Fu Wenjing's desk. "Hongya, let me teach you how to draw!"

Hongya hadn't started school yet, so she naturally couldn't draw. But every child was interested in drawing, so she quickly came to the table on the kang and asked curiously, "Auntie, what should we draw?"

Su Ruanruan thought for a moment and said, "Just draw Hongya!"

Su Ruanruan grew up in an orphanage. When she was young, she did not have the conditions to attend interest classes, nor did she learn to paint systematically, but she has always been interested in painting. Whenever she has time, she will think about painting on her own.

After I came into contact with the Internet, I saw various tutorials online and learned from them.

Su Runrun's painting skills cannot be compared with those of professionals, but she can still help laymen.

Especially a girl of Hongya's age, she can be coaxed by just a few strokes.

Su Runrun did not draw anything too complicated. She just used simple lines to outline a little girl. But just by looking at the facial features, one could tell that the girl was Hong Ya.

Hong Ya was a little skeptical at first, but finally she took a mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, then looked at herself on the paper, and finally she believed it.

Hong Ya held a piece of paper in her hand, looking at it like a treasure and couldn't get enough of it.

Only after she put the paper down did Su Ruanruan take another piece of paper and teach Hongya how to draw.

Girls of this age have soft hands and no strength at all, so they can’t actually draw anything.

But this was originally just to amuse Hongya, and no one cared whether it could be completed or not.

When Fu Wenjing came back at noon, he saw such a heartwarming scene, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Even though the child has not been born yet, he can already imagine the warm scene when the child is born and Su Runrun sits on the kang with the children.

During the Chinese New Year, there were so many people buying things, not to mention that Niu Guifang had to buy things for two families. It took her a whole day to finally buy everything.

Tomorrow is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is still a lot to do. Su Runrun did not talk to Niu Guifang much, but just thought in her heart that she would give Niu Guifang more food when she prepared food tomorrow.

Although the two families bought the same thing, different people cook it differently and the taste is also different.

Fu Wenjing didn't want Su Runruan to do the work, so he asked Su Runruan to tell him what she wanted to do at night. He directly wrote down the name and the method on a piece of paper.

The next morning, Fu Wenjing got up early, washed what needed to be washed, cut what needed to be cut, and stewed everything that needed to be stewed.

There is no New Year’s Eve this year. The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year’s Eve, and the thing we prepare is naturally the family reunion dinner.

After Fu Wenjing prepared all this, he told Su Ruanruan while eating, "Wife, just watch the fire and add some firewood, don't worry about anything else, I'll do it when I come back at noon."

Su Runrun was also quite helpless. She was supposed to be the one in charge of the kitchen, but now she had become an assistant.

Fu Wenjing didn't even want her to do any assisting work.

But Su Ruanruan also understood that Fu Wenjing did this for her own good, so she agreed without hesitation.

No matter what era it is, the New Year’s Eve dinner is prepared with extra care, based on the wishes of the whole family.

Even though there were only Fu Wenjing and Su Runrun in the house, they prepared eight dishes, which was very sumptuous.

Each dish was quite filling and a portion was sent to the neighbors.

Niu Guifang was not a pretentious person, so she accepted them all.

She just turned around and brought over some fried New Year's goods she had made.

There are fried meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, lotus root boxes and eggplant boxes, as well as fried fish fillets and crispy pork.

Looking at the full pot, Su Runrun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Whatever she gave away, Niu Guifang gave back.

But Niu Guifang had accepted them all. If she didn't accept them, it would really be a slap in Liu Guifang's face.

Su Ruanruan could only accept it with a smile, while thinking about what to send next.

After all, it is New Year's Eve, and even in the army it is time to celebrate the New Year.

On this day in previous years, Fu Wenjing would eat New Year’s Eve dinner with the people in the company.

But this year, he only showed up at the opening and then left in a hurry.

On days like this, he must not let Su Ruanruan stay at home alone.

When Fu Wenjing returned home, Su Runrun had already put the food on the table.

The house is warm, there is a sumptuous meal on the table, and there is low white snow outside. Even without firecrackers, the festive atmosphere is full of the New Year.

Su Ruanruan smiled at Fu Wenjing who came in hurriedly, and said softly, "You're back! Wash your hands quickly, and we can have dinner."

It was completely dark outside. The room was lit with orange lights. Under the lights, two people sat next to each other at the table, picking up food for each other with their chopsticks from time to time.
