Chapter 211 Happy New Year

Xu Weilan sneered, "You are all crazy! You have to torture each other in this way. This is the stupidest way!"

Xu Qian agreed, "Indeed, she had other ways to get rid of the Zhao family, but she chose the most tragic one.

Oh. Now, people are pointing fingers at me and scolding me. I can’t even lift my head in the alley.”

Xu Weilan listened to Xu Qian's words, thinking about the whole thing, and suddenly she thought of something.

strangeness!

Very strange!

How could someone like Ding Mei allow another woman to hook up with her man? And Ding Mei should know Ding Na very well, how could she invite someone directly to her home?

Just like Sister Zhang knew the personality of this wild man, she deliberately brought him home and let the wild man ruin her stepdaughter!

Yes, yes!

Ding Mei should have deliberately called Ding Na here and let her hook up with Xu Tianming. She knows Xu Tianming and Ding Na, and she did it on purpose!

Deliberately let Xu Tianming get other diseases and deliberately want to kill him!

No wonder Xu Tianming kept blaming Ding Mei for harming him even when he was terminally ill!

Thinking of this, Xu Weilan shuddered!

What does Ding Mei mean? Is she seeking revenge against Xu Tianming?

But Xu Tianming was just pestering her, was there such a deep hatred and resentment between them?

Xu Weilan thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out why Ding Mei did this. It takes two to tango. She was obviously willing to fool around with Xu Tianming.

Then what reason does she have to harm Xu Tianming like this?

Xu Weilan fell into deep thought.

She didn't hear what Xu Qian and Gu Ya said.

Xu Qian asked curiously, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Weilan looked up at Gu Ya and Xu Qian and told them her thoughts.

After hearing this, Xu Qian stood up suddenly and said, "It's very strange. I feel like she came here for our family."

Xu Weilan reacted instantly, "Grandma? Ding Mei wants to harm you? But what hatred do you have with them? What resentment do you have? If something happens to you, we...will be the most sad!"

Xu Weilan looked at Xu Qian and thought of someone who hated both her and Xu Qian.

That's Qilu!

Xu Qian and Xu Weilan exchanged glances, and they both thought of that person at the same time.

Gu Ya was confused. "Little sister, Qianmei, are you thinking too much? Is it possible that Ding Mei dislikes her father-in-law, so..."

She herself felt that what she said didn't make sense.

Xu Weilan slowly clenched her fists, "Qianmei, if you have nothing to do these two days, follow Ding Mei and see if she has any strange behavior.

Sister-in-law, I have been watching over my mother closely these past two days. I feel that this matter has something to do with my mother."

Gu Ya nodded, "Don't worry, I will stay with you during the New Year. Wherever you go, I will go."

She doesn't have many relatives in the Gu family.

She also went with the Xu family's relatives.

Today is New Year's Eve, so everyone stopped talking about unhappy things and just chatted about other people's gossip.

Every family has its own problems.

That elder sister Zhang did it on purpose, she didn't want everyone to have a good New Year.

With a relative like Sister Zhang, Zhao Dani's partner is really unlucky.

In fact, it was Sister Zhang who helped Zhao Dani.

Zhao Dani was corrupted by her father since she was young. She is a girl with distorted values. Even if she gets married, she will definitely not live in peace and who knows how much trouble she will cause.

If Zhao Dani's true identity had been discovered earlier, wouldn't it have been a good thing that the marriage failed?

Time passed quickly while we were chatting.

Aunt Wang, the third aunt, the eldest aunt, and the second aunt prepared two tables of dishes in a short while.

There is one table for gay men and one table for lesbians.

It's full, with a variety of dishes.

Main dishes: black chicken soup, stewed fish, roast duck, pot-wrapped meat, braised assorted dishes.

Then there are some side dishes, which are very delicious.

It’s all the taste of memory.

Every New Year’s Eve.

When the eldest and second aunts come back, they will cook.

Thanks to my third aunt’s cooking skills, the New Year’s Eve dinner is also the meal that the children look forward to the most.

After dinner.

Old Mrs. Xu started giving out red envelopes.

Old Mrs. Xu does this every year. No matter whether she is a grandmother or a father, married or not, as long as they are her juniors, she gives red envelopes to them one by one.

The first person to get it this year was the eldest aunt, followed by the second aunt, the third uncle and the third aunt, and finally it was Xu Weilan's generation.

Their generation has finished making money, and now it’s the generation of Komankura and Ozawazawa.

The old lady’s great-grandson, the old lady is the most generous.

Xiao Mancang was drooling with excitement, and looked at Zhu Ying with a pleading look on her face, "Mom, can I keep this year's red envelope myself?"

Zhu Ying shook her head.

Xiao Mancang looked at Xu Weilan aggrievedly, "Aunt! You have to make the decision for me. Mom is a landlord in feudal society.

She took all the red envelopes my great-grandma and grandpa gave me, not giving me a cent!"

The kid was very sad.

Xu Weilan pulled Xiao Mancang to sit next to her and explained: "Mom didn't withhold money from you. All the money has turned into delicious food, beautiful clothes, and fun toys to keep you company.

It seems that the money went into your mother's pocket, but in fact, it was all used on you, and your mother even paid some of it back."

Xiao Mancang frowned, "Is that so?"

"Of course, Xiao Mancang, do you know how much the clothes you are wearing cost? You can roughly calculate, your great-grandmother gave six dollars, your grandparents gave five dollars, a total of eleven dollars? Right?"

In Xiao Mancang's eyes, Xu Weilan is the best and will not lie to anyone. He himself cannot figure it out, but he nods whatever Xu Weilan says, yes, yes!

Xu Weilan had no intention of deceiving the child. This was all because of his trust in her.

"I bought Xiao Mancang's new clothes for eight yuan, and his shoes for six yuan. Your mother knitted Xiao Mancang's hat, which took her ten days to make. We have to spend money to buy the wool, right? Mom knits hats every day, so she has to pay for it, right?"

Xiao Mancang covered his face with his hands, "Ah! Mommy works so hard, Mommy has given me so much money, Mommy is so unlucky."

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up.

Lanmei is really eloquent!

This completely convinced Xiao Mancang!

Not only did Xiao Mancang stop clamoring to manage his own money, he also hugged Zhu Ying's legs and said a lot of nice things, which made Zhu Ying very happy.

It's good to have more knowledge, and educated people think quickly.

The elders handed out red envelopes.

Xu Weilan and Qin Yan also took out the red envelopes they had prepared.

For Xiao Mancang, she packed 12 pieces.

There are also some for Xiao Zeze, she also packed 12 pieces.

They are all my nephews, there is no reason to favor one over the other.

In addition to red envelopes, there are also some candies and snacks.

There must be a reason why Xiao Mancang likes Xu Weilan the most.

After lunch.

Xu Weilan and Qin Yan drove away.

In the car, she looked at the red envelopes that her grandmother, her third uncle, her third aunt, and her aunts had packed, and she felt very happy.

Qin Yan also lamented, "I am the first to receive red envelopes. My mother is a thief and keeps saying that I have grown up and don't need red envelopes. The sense of ceremony is gone."

Xu Weilan smiled, "In my family, there is never a lack of a sense of ceremony."

In fact, in this era, no matter how poor one is, the sense of ceremony in the home will always be there.

The atmosphere of the New Year is very strong.

There are many customs.

For example, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you cannot sweep the floor, as this will sweep away your wealth. You cannot hit your children or swear on this day, as this will bring bad luck.

I have been busy all my life and never took the time to calm down and experience life slowly.

Stop now, feel the flavor of life calmly, and taste the warmth and coldness of human nature. It turns out this is life!

Plain and true.

All the emotions are revealed in a handshake and a glance.

In the car, Xu Weilan and Qin Yan told each other their guesses.

Qin Yan frowned slightly, "It's indeed strange for you to say that. Don't worry, celebrate the New Year happily first, and then deal with these things after the New Year.

Ding Mei is very easy to interrogate. I guarantee that I can identify her in less than ten sentences."

Xu Weilan then remembered that he was a soldier and had a strong aura. It should be easy for him to interrogate someone.

She didn't think about it any more.

Gu Ya is looking after the family, so she really doesn't need to worry about anything.

Have a peaceful Chinese New Year.

When I got home, I could smell the rich aroma of food.

Today, Mother Qian is cooking herself, and she is making some different local dishes.

Qian Ma’s hometown is Sichuan Province, which has very southwestern characteristics and is spicy.

Xu Weilan also likes spicy food.

Qian Qiuxue fried the fish, crispy pork, meatballs, and fried cakes.

Xu Weilan went over to help.

Qian Qiuxue was worried that she couldn't stand the smell of cooking fumes, but Xu Weilan said nonchalantly, "Except for not being hungry, everything else is normal, so don't worry, Mom. I want to talk to you."

It has to be said that Qian Qiuxue was happy to hear this, so she asked her to stay in the kitchen to help peel garlic and so on.

Sichuan cuisine requires a lot of seasoning and oil.

The first dish I made was Taian fish. The fish was chopped into pieces, marinated, coated with starch and fried, then returned to the pan and braised. It was stewed with tofu and various vegetables, and it was very fragrant!

The second dish is the crispy pork and peas soup. The tender green peas in the soup are fragrant and unique.

The third dish is a steamed dish called Jiasharou, also known as sweet roast pork. It consists of pork belly with red bean paste or black sesame, and glutinous rice with brown sugar underneath.

The fourth dish is braised pork with preserved vegetables, which is actually pork with preserved vegetables, so delicious!

The fifth dish is boiled pork slices, large slices of meat as thin as cicada wings, with bean sprouts and bean skin underneath, soaked in boiling red oil, which makes your mouth water.

The sixth dish is sweet-skin duck. It seems that Qian's mother asked a master chef to make it. This dish is very demanding on cooking skills. Qian's mother can't make it, but she feels that this dish is indispensable for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she specially asked someone to make it.

The eighth dish is braised pork elbow. Aunt Qian marinated the pork elbow yesterday and now put it directly into the pot for slow cooking. The stewed pork elbow is soft, glutinous and tasty, and the aroma alone makes people drool.

The ninth dish is not a Sichuan dish, but a seafood dish, steamed shrimp and abalone with vermicelli. The abalone is half the size of a palm, and the meat looks super thick, with a strong garlic flavor. The shrimp is also palm-sized, and very tender.

The tenth major dish in the Manchu-Han banquet is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. For this dish, Qian’s mother prepared a lot of ingredients and spent several days preparing.

Now just serve it on the table, one bowl per person, it’s rich and delicious!

There are ten dishes in total, all of which are hard dishes and big dishes! The table is full of them, making people salivate!

Qin Yan was the most excited. "It's been a long time since I've eaten the food cooked by our mother. Good! Good! It's delicious!"

A family of four came to the table, cheers!

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, a new year, a new beginning, a new outlook, the future will be better.
