Everyone sat down around the octagonal table and filled the table with wine and drinks.
"Come on, come on, let's go together, happy new year!"
Chen Wang picked up his wine glass and shouted.
"Happy New Year!!!"
Several people followed suit and raised their glasses to cheer.
After clinking glasses, they each drank.
"Okay, come on, eat, don't be polite, try to finish the dishes, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the leftovers."
Chen Wang put down his wine glass and smiled, inviting everyone to start eating.
There were exactly nine dishes and one soup on the table, which was a perfect omen. With both fish and meat, there would be surplus every year.
"Xiuqin, you are amazing. You prepared so many dishes by yourself, and they were cooked so well."
Chen Ying praised with a smile on her face and put a large piece of fish into Lin Xiuqin's bowl.
Lin Xiuqin smiled a little embarrassedly and waved her hands, pointing at Chen Wang and the little girl, indicating that they both helped.
"We are just helping out. It's mainly your hard work, wife. You've worked hard. Eat more."
Chen Wang also put a piece of braised pork into his wife's bowl.
Lin Xiuqin smiled gently and waved her hand, pointing at the dishes on the table, signaling the two to eat quickly.
"We have also prepared New Year's Eve dinner. Let's go over there together after we finish eating."
Chen Jianjun made an invitation.
"Yes, yes, yes. After you finish eating, go over and continue eating. But we don't cook so many dishes at home, and they are definitely not as delicious as this."
Chen Dazhuang agreed with a smile.
"Then eat your fill here, then go over and have a couple of drinks to have some fun."
Chen Wang suggested with a chuckle.
"That's fine. Come on, let's all toast to Xiuqin. Thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, I have to give you a toast. Come on, come on!"
"Sister-in-law, I want to respect you too!"
The little girl also held up a glass of drink with both hands and toasted with a sweet smile.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and picked up the cup as well.
The juice in her cup was good juice bought from the department store. It didn't have any additives, so it was okay to drink a little.
