It was almost noon when Li Jinfeng came out of the kitchen. "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Xiaobao, Zhou Cheng...it's time for dinner!"
In the past few years, Sister E had help, but now Li Jinfeng prepares the New Year’s Eve dinner by herself, and all she cooks are big dishes, so she is busy in the kitchen for the whole morning.
Fortunately, all the efforts are worth it.
The dishes in the kitchen were laid out one by one, dazzling the crowd.
Before the meal, we followed the old custom and said words of blessing to Mr. Lu.
This is the rule passed down by the Lu family. Lu Yanzhi and Shen Wan started first, and then Li Jinfeng.
Xiaobao, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yu followed closely behind.
Next, it was the turn of the youngest Tuan Tuan.
Li Jinfeng said to Tuantuan, "Tuantuan, what do you want to say to Grandpa Zeng?"
Tuantuan thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Great... Happy New... Year! Baby loves you so much!"
After hearing this, Mr. Lu laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, Grandpa loves you too, my dear baby!"
Lu Yanzhi also spoke shamelessly, "Tuantuan, where's grandpa? Is there anything you want to say to him?"
Tuantuan didn't even think about it and continued to answer: "Grandpa, the baby loves you too."
Lu Yanzhi was so happy. He was already an old man, but he almost cried because of Tuantuan's words of "Grandpa" and "love".
Shen Wan knew her lover better than anyone else, and she secretly handed him a handkerchief.
Lu Yanzhi turned his back and secretly wiped away his tears.
Then continue eating and drinking with everyone.
When Li Jinfeng was free, she made some fruit wine with grapes. It was sour and sweet, and the children all loved it.
Tuantuan was still too young, so Li Jinfeng gave him canned juice, which tasted sweet and intoxicating.
The little fat boy just thought that he was drinking like everyone else and was enjoying it.
After the meal, Mr. Lu gave New Year’s money to the younger generations present.
Li Jinfeng gave a big red envelope as in previous years.
Tuan Tuan was as generous as ever. As soon as he got the red envelope, he threw it to Li Jinfeng.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yu were both receiving New Year's money for the first time. They stood there in a daze, not daring to even breathe.
Li Jinfeng explained, "This is a tradition in our Lu family. Every child who celebrates the New Year at home receives lucky money, and they can spend it as they please. They don't need to hand it over to the elders!"
Xiaobao nodded: "I also use my New Year's money independently."
Then, Lu Yanzhi and Shen Wan also gave out red envelopes as New Year’s money.
So is Li Jinfeng.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yu, holding the red envelopes, didn't know how to express their feelings for a moment.
After dinner, Li Jinfeng went into the kitchen to clean up.
Then I started to prepare the dough and filling for making dumplings.
When making dumplings, Mr. Lu asked Li Jinfeng to do it in the living room outside.
Shen Wan lent a hand, and several children followed suit to learn how to make dumplings.
Just like last year, Li Jinfeng hid four coins in it. The first person to eat the coins could make a request to Mr. Lu.
The other three who eat the coins will receive red envelopes as rewards from Mr. Lu.
Li Jinfeng was extremely lucky. She got a coin with her first dumpling.
Therefore, Mr. Lu’s request fell on her.
She said to Mr. Lu on the spot: "Grandpa, my wish is that you are healthy, live a long life, and be happy forever."
Mr. Lu smiled from ear to ear, "With you guys by my side, I will definitely be happy."
There were three coins left. Shen Wan took one, Zhou Cheng took one but gave it to Zhou Yu, and then there was Mr. Lu himself.
