Chapter 986 (Page 1/1)
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, which was New Year's Eve, Huo Junshan got up early before dawn.
He carried a big package on his shoulders, which was full of clothes and some New Year's goods. Then he got into the car with his wife and rushed back to their courtyard.
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, Huo Junshan and his wife started to get busy, one cleaning and the other pasting door gods and couplets.
Lin Man and Huo Qinghuan have also been busy in the kitchen. They are either frying fish and meat or making various braised dishes, preparing sumptuous meals for the New Year.
The kitchen is filled with the strong flavor of the New Year, which makes people salivate.
In the living room, Huo Yining took his younger brothers and sisters to make dumplings, freeze them and eat them on the morning of New Year's Day.
Huo Qingyan's family did not come to celebrate the New Year together, so there were exactly ten people celebrating the New Year together, no more, no less, just enough to sit around a round table.
At noon, Lin Man decided to warm herself up with hot pot, and then prepare ten more dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, beef, and a variety of seafood filled the table, making it a feast.
On New Year’s Eve, the whole family sat around the dinner table, laughing and talking happily.
After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, everyone did not return to their rooms immediately. Instead, they sat together on the sofa, warming themselves around the stove and charcoal brazier, watching TV, eating snacks, and enjoying this warm time.
At this moment, Xiao Ya suddenly said, "I don't know how the Qingyan family spent their time today. This is the first time they've spent the New Year away from home alone."
Her words suddenly quieted the lively atmosphere, and everyone looked at her at the same time.
Lin Man couldn't help but feel a little amused. She used to think Huo Qingyan was like a baby who hadn't been weaned, but now it seemed that her mother-in-law was the one who really couldn't live without her precious son.
It’s just the New Year, and I have to cook two meals myself, but my mother-in-law is so worried. Is she worried that her son won’t be able to eat hot meals during the New Year?
Huo Qinghuan also seemed a little dissatisfied. He said indifferently, "Mom, how else can my second brother live? Isn't it just bringing his wife home to cook a table full of delicious food and then eating a lot?"
Huo Junshan consoled her, "Xiaoya, Qingyan is already in his thirties. He has arms and legs, so how could he possibly be hungry? Don't worry about him!"
Xiao Ya sighed helplessly and explained, "I wasn't worried about him being hungry. I was thinking about their child being so young, and the nanny went back to her hometown for the New Year. Without anyone to help take care of the child, how could they both handle it?"
Huo Junshan smiled disapprovingly, and Huo Qinghuan interrupted, "Mom, Yanyan and the others can eat by themselves now, and Chenchen has grown up and can help look after the two little sisters.
My second brother and his wife are so old, can't they prepare a New Year's Eve dinner? Just put your mind at ease and stop worrying about it."
Xiao Ya was still a little worried, but my right eyelid kept twitching. The left eye twitching means good luck, the right eye twitching means disaster. I always feel that something is going to happen, so I worry about them.
Huo Qinghuan frowned, "Mom, don't let your imagination run wild! 'Left eye twitching brings wealth, right eye twitching brings disaster,' that's just superstition. Don't scare yourself."
They will come to wish you a happy new year tomorrow morning, won't you know when you see them?"
