On New Year's Eve, Zhou Kai was also taken to training. When he came back from training and had breakfast, he was so shameless that he went to his elders to greet them and ask for New Year's money.
Zhou's father retorted, "It's only distributed after dinner. Don't bother me, or you won't get any. You're such a grown-up, but you're still asking for red envelopes before the younger generation. It's shameful."
"Okay, okay! I'll follow Healthy and Healthy."
In the kitchen, after breakfast, they started to prepare lunch. Guo Jia took Guo Yao and Guo Mei to light the wood stove. Jian Jiankang also helped to light a stove, and all four stoves were busy together.
Zhou's father also joined in. He hadn't cooked for a long time, so it was time to make something that his little girl liked.
Anwen and Alian, two pregnant women, eat and drink well every day and do not suffer from morning sickness.
She was already thirty years old, but the blind old lady still insisted on going to Doctor Cao's clinic to have her pulse checked, saying, "You can only go to the clinic on the sixteenth day after the New Year. If I go today, it will be exactly half a month later."
Zhou Xiang, unable to outwit this nervous mother-in-law, called Ling Ran and senior Jiang A Lian together, "Ling Ran, pick up some dried fish and bring out a jar of salted eggs. We've been busy lately and haven't given Doctor Cao a New Year's gift yet. We were planning to do it after the New Year, but since the blind lady wants to go, let's do it today!"
Senior Jiang, bring your aunt along so Dr. Cao can check her pulse again."
"Okay! Let's go together."
Ling Ran put the things in the trunk of the car. Gifts need to be visible to others, so he decided to drive there!
Seeing Ling Ran holding the jar and Zhou Xiang carrying the bag, Doctor Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Oh! You finally remembered to give me a New Year's gift? I thought you had forgotten me!"
"Almost. There's a lot going on this year. Why don't you ask Ren Qing to get it?"
Doctor Cao looked at Ren Qing who was packing up her things and said in a low voice, "Someone is targeting her. It's not convenient for her to go."
"who?"
"Looks like a new security guard."
"What does Ren Qing mean?"
"She's currently absorbed in her medical skills and has no desire to date. She's not very old, so I agree that she should study medicine first."
"Then let Qing do it."
An Wen's pulse was very good, but she was a little pregnant. Her belly, which was almost five pounds, was only slightly convex. Doctor Cao patiently explained it to the blind lady again.
The blind lady was relieved.
A-Lian's pulse was also very good. "Don't worry, the Zhou family's food is very nourishing. As long as you have a good appetite, nothing will happen."
Jiang Weihua asked hesitantly, "Single or twins?"
Doctor Cao rolled his eyes at him. "Do you think having twins is that easy? Pregnant women suffer too. If you want more children, just give birth more times!"
When Jiang Weihua heard about the pregnant woman suffering, he immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, that's right."
A-Lian has no objection to having only one baby in her belly, as long as the baby is healthy and cute.
After returning to Zhou's house, Zhou's mother asked about the situation. When she heard that everything was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention the blind sister-in-law, she was also scared by An Wen's incident. It was normal to have some trauma.
The dining table was split into two round tables, one for men and one for women, because if it was divided into men and women, there would be 15 people on one side and 16 people on the other side. If it was divided into elders and younger generations, there would be too many younger generations.
When Zhou Kai sat at the men's table, he immediately felt like he had grown up and he wanted to drink too.
Zhou's father criticized him, saying, "Drinking is for adults. Don't look for alcohol after you turn 20."
"At 18, you become an adult."
"Really? Does that mean you can earn money to support the family at 18?"
"What does earning money to support the family have to do with drinking?"
"If you don't make money, where will you get the alcohol to drink?"
"Don't you have one at home?"
What should I do if Zhou’s father really wants to beat the child?
"Zhou Kai," Zhou Xiang scolded him coldly, "If you dare to cause trouble during Chinese New Year, I'll beat you up, regardless of whether it's Chinese New Year or not."
"Okay! I'll have a drink."
"Don't drink yet, go set off some firecrackers."
"Why?"
"Because you are young."
"It's smaller when it's healthy!"
"No, they are young, you are small, go quickly."
"oh."
Ling Quan, Dong Yunrong and Zhou's mother quickly covered the ears of the three babies who had been brought downstairs. Yuanyuan ran to her father and asked him to help cover her ears.
The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, and the three treasures were very happy, kicking their short legs.
Dong Yunrong felt relieved and was no longer afraid of the sound of firecrackers during the Hundred Days Party.
Everyone sat down, and Father Zhou raised his glass and said, "Happy New Year everyone, let's have a toast."
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Zhou Nian held up the cup, tears in her eyes, she blinked them back hard, and now she could hold a drink during the Chinese New Year.
Guo Jia and his three sisters also looked at the drinks in the glasses in their hands. They could spend the New Year in peace without being beaten or scolded.
The little sister became very flexible and picked up the cup to drink by herself. It was the first time she drank this sweet water.
Zhou Xiang looked at the four sisters and remembered that they might not have had any drink, because it was already cold when they came. She would only chill some soda in the summer and rarely bought drinks at other times. Drinking too much is not good for the body.
He pulled out another bottle of drink from the box behind him and handed it to Guo Jia, "Drink slowly, you still need to save room for food."
Guo Jia took the drink bottle and said, "Yes! Thank you, Miss Zhou."
Professor Chu was also serving drinks. He hadn't felt the excitement of the Chinese New Year for almost forty years. Now, looking at the two tables full of people, young and old, and the three babies babbling on the bed, he felt that this kind of New Year was really great!
Professor Chu also participated in the dumpling-making activity after dinner. Seeing the students' clumsy attempts to pinch the dumpling wrappers, he couldn't help but laugh. "Come, let me teach you. There's a trick to this."
"Teacher, do you really know this?"
