Chapter 94 New Year
After a brief chat and giving a red envelope to Guo Yongliang's twelve-year-old son, Bai Zhenzhu drove home.
Ge Minjing opened the things that Bai Zhenzhu brought and took a look. In addition to bacon and sausages, there were also many very expensive canned foods, biscuits, milk powder, etc.
She had been to Jixiang Commercial Store and knew that the things there were not cheap.
"This pearl is too polite."
Guo Yongliang said: "She is a real person. I feel relieved if you are on good terms with her."
Ge Minjing rolled her eyes at him unhappily:
"Am I so useless and easy to be bullied in your eyes?"
Guo Yongliang didn't dare to say anything and just laughed.
When Bai Zhenzhu returned to the restaurant, bowls of sweet rice cakes were already steamed.
That bowl is the one used for eating in a restaurant. When eating, just cut it into slices and steam it in a pot.
Bai Zhenzhu sent six bowls of rice cakes and some glutinous rice cakes to Zhang Hongying's home. Zhang Hongying gave her four pieces of konjac, a large piece of tofu, and some dried tofu in return.
This konjac is ground from fresh konjac in the field, and it is delicious when used to roast chicken.
There was a lot of bacon cooked in the pot.
The pig's head and tail symbolize completeness.
There are also sausages, pork belly, dried tofu, etc.
This morning, the fishmonger gave me two grass carps as a free gift for the new year.
Mei Xiu Lian also sent some fresh pea tips.
The butcher brought a piece of top-quality pork belly.
The boss who sold chickens and ducks also sent over a slaughtered rooster.
Everyone was very polite, put down their things and ran away, as if someone was chasing them.
I just had a quick meal at noon, and then continued frying crispy meat and meatballs in the afternoon.
The braised meat shop was also closed. Except for the braised meat kept for home consumption, all other braised goods were sold out.
In the afternoon, Zhang Minmin called and said embarrassedly that she could not accompany the elderly to celebrate the New Year this year.
Li Xiufen thought more clearly. Principal Zhang had only one daughter, Zhang Minmin. It was only right for her to celebrate the New Year at Zhang's house this year and at Bai's house next year.
"Mom, Jingsi and I will go to the city to see you in a few days. Do you want to bring anything?"
"You don't need to bring anything, just come here."
Liu Fang came over and said:
"Minmin, if it's convenient, please bring our bicycles here. Yinyin's bicycle can just be left at home."
It's inconvenient to go anywhere in the city without a bicycle.
Zhang Minmin: "No problem, sister-in-law. Jingsi and I are just about to go back to our hometown to pay New Year's greetings to our uncle."
When Li Xiufen heard that they were going to her uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, she quickly took the microphone and said:
"Just go to your uncle's house, don't go to the other one."
Zhang Minmin smiled and said:
"I know, Mom. I also heard about your quarrel last time. I haven't even told you that she informed Old Lady Cao about it yet."
Li Xiufen was so angry:
"I used to think she was just stubborn and stubborn, and I tolerated her for so many years. You thought I was afraid of her, so none of you are allowed to acknowledge her."
"Forget it, let's not talk about her. I get angry when those people are mentioned during the New Year."
The New Year’s Eve dinner is quite sumptuous.
I had steamed meat with sand filling, steamed spare ribs with rice flour, steamed glutinous rice, braised fish, taro chicken, meatball soup, brown sugar rice cake, a large platter of braised food, rice cake, stir-fried sugar meat, crispy meat, a few refreshing vegetarian dishes, and a large plate of pickles to relieve the greasiness.
The whole family sat at the table.
This is the most prosperous Spring Festival that the Bai family has ever celebrated.
But everyone knows in their hearts that their lives will definitely get better and better.
It turns out that the old couple felt sorry for their daughter's divorce.
But now look, their Pearl has left the wolf's den and is living a rich and good life. She has also changed a lot. This is better than anything else.
The family watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating the New Year’s Eve dinner. After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen and then played cards or watched TV.
The Bai family is having a great time.
The atmosphere on Xia He's side was a little tense.
Xia He cleaned her house in the morning and went back home after having lunch.
She did not come empty-handed either. She bought a braised chicken and pork head from the braised meat shop, a rack of spare ribs from the butcher's shop, and some snacks and toys from the Jixiang Commercial Bank.
When she knocked on the door with these things in her hand, her sister-in-law looked at her in astonishment.
Xia He didn't go in either, she stood at the door carrying something:
"What's with that expression, sister-in-law? Don't you welcome me back?"
"Then I'll leave?"
Having said that, he turned and left.
Xu Liyun was stunned by her action.
Nephew Xia Feng had been looking forward to his aunt's return. After finally waiting for her to come back, he ran out and grabbed her:
"Aunt, why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
He questioned Xu Liyun dissatisfiedly:
"Mom, why are you blocking the door and not letting Auntie in?"
After saying that, he ignored his mother and took Xia He's hand and walked into the house.
Xia He gave the snacks and toy cars she brought to Xia Feng.
Xia Fengle went crazy:
"Wow, a toy car. I have a toy car."
He would hold up the car and go to show it off to the kids in the yard.
Xia He grabbed his collar:
"You haven't thanked me yet."
"Thank you, auntie. You are the best."
Xia He then let go and put some candy in his pocket before letting him go.
The boy ran away.
Xu Liyun checked the things Xia He brought back.
The gift was not small, but she still felt uncomfortable.
Nothing was just for her.
Xia He didn't care whether she felt comfortable or not. She hugged Wen Fengqin and put a gold ring on her finger.
Xu Liyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
At the same time, she also saw the gold ring on Xia He's finger. Comparing the two rings, it was obvious that Xia He's style was better looking.
His face suddenly fell, thinking that he deliberately didn't buy it for her.
Wen Fengqin laughed and scolded:
"It's not easy for you to earn some money, so save it. Why buy this? You just spend it recklessly."
Although he said he disliked it, his eyes could not leave the gold ring and it was obvious that he liked it very much.
Xia He hugged Wen Fengqin's arm:
"My mother helps me run the store, and this is specially given to you as a gift. Wear it well and don't give it to anyone else."
He said this very loudly, on purpose for Xu Liyun to hear.
Xu Liyun was in the kitchen, and I don't know if she dropped a basin or something, but there was a loud bang.
Wen Fengqin knew her daughter-in-law's character and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
If she feels uncomfortable living in this home, she will move in with her daughter.
But the old man is conservative after all, and still wants to stay here. He doesn't want his children to be estranged, and he is also afraid that Xia He will really have no one to visit in the future.
"What do you want for New Year's Eve dinner? Mom will make it for you."
Xia He immediately said:
"I want to eat braised spareribs and spicy rabbit cubes."
Xia Jun heard it and said with a smile:
"I just happened to grab a rabbit at the market this morning, so I'll ask your sister-in-law to make it for you."
Xia He didn't dare to eat what Xu Liyun made. What if she spit in it?
"I want to eat what my mother cooks."
Wen Fengqin naturally followed her:
"Okay, Mom will make it for you. You watch TV and eat melon seeds first. I'll go buy some soy sauce."
There is no shortage of soy sauce at home. She went to show off her gold ring to her old sisters.
There are only a few truly rich people these days. People in the city have fixed salaries and family assets, but they can't compare with businessmen like Xia He.
