Now that there is a nanny and an aunt at home, she doesn't cook very often.
When the family reunited during the Chinese New Year, she felt that it would be more meaningful to cook the meals herself.
Except for my aunt and my sister-in-law who was helping out, everyone else was outside.
It’s not that everyone is unwilling to help, but Linglong feels that there are too many people in the kitchen and it is messy, which affects her performance.
Everyone still recognizes her cooking skills.
Linglong was already a good cook. After the Zhongjiang Hotel opened for business, she consulted the hotel's chef and learned some new dishes and cooking secrets.
Seeing that her daughter was really enjoying it, Wei Qingyin smiled and continued to play mahjong with her relative-in-law Li Zengyu.
Linglong and Zheng Tianxin left the table, and the substitutes became the brothers Zheng Tiansen and Zheng Tianbao.
In order to make their two relatives happy, the two brothers used their ability to read people's expressions to the utmost.
Occasionally, Zheng Tianbao would be kicked under the table by his brother.
When Grandpa Deng and Zheng's father saw these little movements, they smiled in a way that only experienced people could understand.
"The meal is ready. Let's stop fighting after this and get ready to eat." Linglong poked her head out and shouted.
Zeng Yu stopped with a beaming expression. "I'm feeling pretty lucky today, so I'll just stop. This way, you won't have to pay me if I win this round."
Since she said that, everyone started to clean up.
Wash your hands, help serve the dishes, and start running errands.
By the time the New Year’s Eve dinner was all set out, it was a huge table full of food.
There were thirteen people eating there, big and small.
Knowing that there will be many people celebrating the New Year this year, the family specially bought a big table.
As the head of the family, Zheng's father spoke first.
Cups filled with wine and drinks clinked together, and with the accompaniment of fireworks and firecrackers and the voices of the hostess of the Spring Festival Gala on TV, the New Year atmosphere reached its peak.
"Happy New Year!"
This New Year may not feel so strongly to other people in the room, but it is definitely different for Wei Qingyin and Linglong.
The two women looked at each other and drank the wine in their glasses.
After finding each other, they finally had no regrets.
Watch the Spring Festival Gala, set off fireworks, have fun and be happy.
It was the first time that Wei Qingyin had celebrated such a lively New Year. Unlike previous years, although it was the most festive holiday, even though there were many servants at home, she still felt extremely deserted and did not like celebrating the New Year.
Now that she has a daughter, a son-in-law, a grandson, a granddaughter, and so many relatives, she also likes the festive reunion during the Chinese New Year.
After staying up all night at Zheng's house for past twelve o'clock, Wei Qingyin and Linglong left by car and went to her yard.
Linglong insisted on sleeping with her father tonight, and no one in the family objected.
Even though it was very late, you could still hear firecrackers outside from time to time.
In the car, Wei Qingyin felt a little uneasy.
"Linglong, you don't have to accompany me there. What about An An and the others?"
Linglong patted her mother's hand and kissed her. "Mom, An'an has Tiansen, her father, here. Don't worry, it's okay. I'm going to sleep with you today."
Seeing her innocent look, Wei Qingyin smiled. "Okay, we'll sleep together tonight."
When she lay down on her father's soft big bed, Linglong rolled over like a child.
"It's so comfortable."
"This brand of mattress is my favorite. If you think it's good, I'll have someone buy a few more and send them over."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Mom." Linglong smiled.
The more impolite Linglong was, the happier Wei Qingyin felt.
Lying next to her mother, Linglong said, "Mom, can you sing me the song you used to sing before going to bed when I was a child?"
How could Wei Qingyin not respond?
For so many years, she dreamed of singing to her daughter Linglong.
Hum the familiar tune.
Linglong closed her eyes, as if she was back in her childhood.
I don’t know how long she sang. Wei Qingyin stopped only when she saw her daughter was fast asleep.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but there was a smile on her face.
Wei Qingyin hadn't slept in the same bed with anyone for many years, and she thought she would not be used to it.
But no matter how she prepared, she fell asleep.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, Linglong had breakfast at Wei Qingyin's place before being taken to the compound by Wei Qingyin's driver.
On the first day of the new year, many people wanted to visit the Zheng family to pay New Year's greetings, but Wei Qingyin did not go.
Linglong, the good daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, is envied by the elders in the compound more and more every year.
This year I am even more envious.
In the past, the people in the compound thought that the exquisite figure was the only shortcoming of the compound.
But now, they have found their relative, a wealthy and powerful woman. The Zheng family has made such a marriage that everyone in the compound is envious to death.
But who can say that the Zheng family is not...
After all, when Zheng Tiansen and Linglong got married, Linglong didn't have any powerful family background.
Even though Linglong had many excellent qualities at that time, if many families in the compound came to choose her, none of them would choose Linglong as their daughter-in-law.
All I can say is that this is the Zheng family's fortune, and also Zheng Tiansen's fortune.
The only shortcoming of the Zheng family is the unmarried Zheng Tianbao. This is the only thing people can say about them.
After being criticized for so many years, Zheng Tianbao has become thick-skinned.
This year, not only did he not hide away, but he was also able to respond with ease, which made Linglong and Zheng Tianxin very impressed.
After a busy day on the first day of the New Year, Linglong also had something to do on the second day.
In the past, Linglong stayed at home during the second day of the Chinese New Year, but this year she finally had her mother's family to visit.
Even though she knew her parents were rich and had everything they needed, Linglong still prepared gifts at home and drove the whole family to her parents' house.
This was the first time that Wei Qingyin properly entertained her natal daughter and son-in-law, so she took it very seriously.
As early as the beginning of the year, she contacted the chef of a famous restaurant in Hong Kong and hired him at a high price.
I flew to Beijing on the first day of the new year, so I started cooking some dishes yesterday.
Congcong and Anan were very excited as it was their first Chinese New Year visit to their grandmother’s house to visit relatives.
When I got here, the first thing I received was a particularly thick red envelope.
Both children reported 8,888 yuan in their red envelopes, which sounded auspicious and nice.
It’s not that Wei Qingyin doesn’t want to give more, but the red envelope can’t hold a larger and more auspicious number.
Linglong would never let the two children carry such a large amount of red envelopes by themselves. After their hands felt the warmth for a moment, she took it all away.
But unlike many parents, she did not use the red envelope money from her children to cover household expenses or pay for her children's tuition. Instead, she put all the money into a savings account specially opened for her two children.
An An is young and hasn't saved up for red envelopes for a few years, but Cong Cong has a considerable amount of money in his bankbook over the years.
Linglong wanted to wait until the children were admitted to university before giving them the passbook.
Wei Qingyin didn't interfere with how her daughter took care of the child and was cheerful from beginning to end.
This year's Chinese New Year is the happiest she has had in decades!
