When everyone in the family came back in the evening, Jiang Li's donkey meat BBQ was finally ready.
Ling Xue looked at the donkey meat hotpot filled with meat filling and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"Little sister, you smell so good, I can't stand it."
She had eaten it once before, but it was not as delicious as the one made by her younger sister.
It turns out that no one can match my sister's craftsmanship.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Didn't you see everything I did just now? You can do it next time. It's quite simple."
"Okay, take them out, I'll serve the soup and we can eat."
Ling Xue replied: "Okay, then be careful of the burns."
Seeing that dinner was finally ready, Jiang Heng and Jiang Jingzhe put down the newspapers in their hands and walked towards the restaurant with their children.
Su Manman was setting the table, and when she saw them coming in, she smiled and said, "You are not allowed to sit at the table without washing your hands."
"And Abin isn't coming back today?"
Jiang Heng said gently, "He has some things to deal with recently, so he won't be back for a few days. We don't have to wait for him for dinner."
Su Manman nodded, "Okay, I understand. I won't wait for him for dinner next time."
As Jiang Li announced that it was time for dinner, the children quickly picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into their mouths.
If their elders hadn't stopped them from making trouble, they would have run to the kitchen to cook.
"Mmm...it's delicious."
"Auntie, this meat smells so good."
Jiang Li smiled lightly, "Eat it slowly even if it's delicious. It's still a little hot, don't burn yourself."
"Yeah, I see."
Jiang Heng took a sip of the soup and a bite of the steamed bun, and was instantly conquered by this delicacy.
"Delicious, this fire-baked bread is so delicious, but can only donkey meat be used? Can other meats be used?"
Jiang Li said, "This delicacy can only be made with donkey meat. After all, other meats don't taste right."
"Just like roujiamo can only be filled with pork, if you replace it with mutton, the taste will be weird."
Su Manman nodded in approval, "That's right, otherwise why not call it pork hotpot? It's just that donkey meat is harder to buy than beef and mutton. I'm lucky today."
"Indeed, I didn't expect that someone would kill a donkey."
"By the way, Sixth Brother, please build a fence in the front yard. I can't eat all the geese and hens I bought in one go. I have to keep them and eat them slowly. They will get thinner if they are always locked up in cages."
"We still have to let it out to roam free."
Jiang Jingzhe chewed the meat and replied in a hurry: "Okay, got it..."
In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
That morning, Jiang Li got up early to cook dumplings for her family.
All her dumplings were taken out from the space, with all kinds of fillings.
However, she didn't dare to take out the ingredients that she couldn't find at this time, otherwise she would have no way to explain it.
But her favorite is the traditional one with black sesame filling.
Looking at the full pot of white fat, she shouted at the top of her voice before it was even cooked: "Get up, it's time for breakfast!"
Jiang Heng heard Li Li's call and opened his eyes drowsily. Seeing that it was just past five in the morning, he scratched his hair and sat up drowsily, continuing to feel sleepy.
Jiang Jingzhe saw that he hadn't come out yet, so he knocked on the door and said, "Cousin, get up, Li Li's dumplings are ready."
"Be careful, it's late and you can only drink soup."
After Jiang Jingzhe shouted at him, Jiang Heng's originally blurry eyes instantly cleared up.
"Coming right up."
He almost forgot that today is the Lantern Festival.
It’s all because the book my little sister gave me was so good that I got addicted to it without realizing it.
It was already late at night when we went to bed.
Jiang Li served everyone some glutinous rice balls. Seeing that the children had washed up and were sitting there, he smiled and said, "It's still a little hot. You three should eat slowly, okay?"
Jiang Ruosheng patted her chest proudly, "Don't worry, auntie, I will take good care of my sisters."
"Okay, our Shengsheng is already a little man, aunt is optimistic about you."
Seeing her younger sister getting up so early, Ling Xue asked softly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll get up and cook."
"We don't have many relatives here, so no one will come to visit us too early."
Jiang Li was just about to say that he woke up and couldn't fall asleep when he heard someone knocking on his door. He then said with a smile, "Who said no one came to our house? Why isn't someone coming?"
Ling Xue smiled helplessly, "I'll go see who it is. It's still early."
"Okay, put on your coat."
Ling Yuning had already prepared the holiday gift yesterday, and he got up and walked over here as soon as the alarm rang in the morning.
Ling Xue opened the gate and saw her younger brother. She was surprised and asked, "Why are you here? Where are our parents?"
Ling Yuning rubbed his hands together, "My parents are at work today to celebrate the holiday, please let me in first, I'm freezing."
"You're here, but why did you bring so many things with you? You don't even wear a thicker cotton jacket. You're freezing to death."
"Oh, I forgot. Is breakfast ready? I'm hungry."
Seeing her brother being so useless, Ling Xue rolled her eyes and said, "You only know how to eat. You came just when breakfast was ready. You are so lucky."
Ling Yuning chuckled and said, "That's great. What delicious food will Big Sister make today?"
"My parents are not coming home today to avoid my sister-in-law. I have nowhere to go, so I can only come to you, my sister."
Ling Xue frowned, "Is the sister-in-law making trouble again?"
"Humph, don't mention that woman. She took advantage of her pregnancy and didn't care about my parents at all."
"My eldest brother is also a loser. He can't even manage his own wife. If it were me, I would have divorced her long ago."
"The noise has caused unrest in the house all day long."
Ling Xue sighed, "Let's not talk about her. My parents didn't do anything about it, so we should just stay away from her."
As a daughter who married out, it would be better for her to stay out of her parents' affairs.
Unless her parents need her, she won't take care of anything at home.
Her sister-in-law is a snob and a hard-core person. It's better to stay away from her to avoid being infected by her and being unable to get rid of her.
Seeing the younger brother of the Ling family coming, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Happy Lantern Festival, brother. Why did you bring something with you?"
Ling Yuning chuckled, "I can't just eat for free every time I come to your house, and today is a holiday, so I bought you some gifts."
"Just don't be disgusted."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "We don't mind. We like whatever you buy."
"I just happened to have cooked a lot of glutinous rice balls. I'll go get you a bowl."
"Warm yourself up first."
Ling Yuning, "Okay, thank you Sister Li."
At this time, Jiang Lingxue said to the others: "This is my younger brother Ling Yuning, you have never seen him."
"Yu Ning, come here. These are the two elder brothers of the Jiang family. Just call them brothers."
"The other one is my sister-in-law."
Seeing that there were other people at home, Ling Yuning was not shy and said generously: "Hello, brothers and sisters-in-law, I am Yuning, I wish you a happy Lantern Festival."
Seeing that the young man was quite nice, Jiang Heng smiled and took out a red envelope from his pocket and said, "Here, it's a meeting gift. Don't think it's too little."
