Jiang Tang dozed off for a long time in the rocking chair in the yard.
He Lihua came in from outside carrying something. When Jiang Tang heard the sound, he immediately sat up to help.
"No, no, it's not heavy, mom can carry it herself."
He Lihua stopped her daughter-in-law from standing up and asked her to have a good rest.
As a mother-in-law, she really loves her daughter-in-law.
He doesn't even let me stand up to get something. No one can be so biased.
Jiang Tang still stood up to help.
Her mother loves her, and she also loves her mother.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed up the New Year's goods that He Lihua bought, and Lu Changzheng also came back from outside.
He was carrying two large bags filled with fireworks for his three children and his wife.
In the kitchen, He Lihua was talking to Jiang Tang.
"Tomorrow we will have a reunion dinner at a restaurant at noon, and then eat at home in the evening. We can prepare some cooked food and then offer it to our ancestors."
"good."
Jiang Tang has been married to Lu Changzheng for so many years, but she has cooked only a few meals.
She can hardly make home-cooked meals, let alone the New Year’s Eve dinner.
She could only help out from the side.
Fortunately, she has strength.
She was very good at mincing meat and had great strength. She waved the knife and in no time she could chop a piece of meat weighing about five pounds, with fat and lean meat, into minced meat.
This is what He Lihua wants to use to fry the lion's head.
They don't eat this dish very often here, and He Lihua learned it from Liu Qihong.
Today I want to make this braised lion head and see if I can make it well.
This dish is very suitable for ancestor worship.
"Life was hard in the past. Xixi's grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother never had anything good to eat. Let's make some delicious food today so they can have a taste."
"Life is good now, we are all enjoying it, so we should let them enjoy it too."
What He Lihua said was actually just a spiritual comfort.
How could a deceased person possibly eat food from a living person? It was just a way for the living relatives to express their longing for them.
He Lihua talked to Jiang Tang while working.
Jiang Tang agreed with a faint smile on his face.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared a lot of food.
Just as they were getting ready, He Liye came back with his six children.
In order to take the children out to play, he borrowed a car, drove himself, and took his six children to visit all the fun places in the city.
When the triplets came back, they were carrying large and small bags.
He Liye bought them all.
“Eat here and then go back.”
He Lihua saw her brother and spoke to him.
He Liye originally wanted to go home to have dinner with his daughter and son-in-law, but his three grandchildren all wanted to play with the triplets here.
It was not easy for him to force his way home.
"good."
"Hotpot tonight?"
Lu Changzheng asked from the side.
The children love hot pot very much. When they heard that they could have hot pot in the evening, they cheered.
"OK!"
"Then I'll go buy some ingredients for hot pot."
Lu Changzheng said this and walked out.
He went out alone and didn't need to bring anyone else with him. After a while, he came back with mutton, beef, fish, shrimp and other things.
These are all foods that children like to eat.
Everyone, big and small, worked together to prepare the food, and it was done in no time.
On the round table in the main hall, steam was rising from the double-boiled pot. The bone soup on one side was rich and fragrant, while the chili peppers were bubbling on the other side. The red soup made people's appetite increase just by looking at it.
If the people in the family like to eat chili peppers, they can eat chili peppers.
If you don’t like it, just eat bone soup.
The shuangyuan hotpot is so convenient. Just pick up whatever you want to eat with chopsticks and boil it.
Of course, soda is indispensable when eating hot pot. There are more than a dozen bottles of the popular Beibingyang soda on the table.
Today we can eat and drink as much as we want.
After eating and drinking, we will have another reunion dinner tomorrow morning.
This year's family New Year's Eve dinner was booked by He Yucheng and He Yuxian in a private room in the largest and best restaurant in their city.
In this restaurant, which is said to have received foreign guests, there is a large table in a private room that can seat 32 people.
For the whole family to sit around the round table, a few more stools are needed.
This year is a true reunion year.
Not only He Yucheng and He Yuxian came back with their fiancées, but even his two brothers who worked in confidential units came back with their wives and children.
Young and old sat around the round table, and the hotel waiters served the New Year's Eve dinner that had been ordered in advance in an orderly manner.
Seafood is an indispensable part of the New Year’s Eve dinner in southern coastal cities.
There were king crabs weighing several pounds, and each person got one lobster weighing one or two pounds. There were also all kinds of seafood, chicken, duck, pork, beef, and lamb...
The big round table was filled to the brim.
The head of the family, He Jianguo, called out to the children to come forward and line up, and the elders began to distribute red envelopes.
In addition to the children, young lesbians also received red envelopes.
No one cares too much about the amount of the red envelope.
This is just a meaning.
After the red envelopes have been distributed and the dishes have been served, you can sit down and eat.
It was still He Jianguo, the patriarch, who spoke first.
This year, all the family members came back in good company and He Jianguo was very happy.
Except for He Liye, who had been divorced for many years, everyone present was in pairs. The youngest son, who worried He Jianguo the most, and Axian, the second son's family, were also engaged.
It can be said that he has no regrets.
