"Forget about it this time, but don't do such a big gift in the future," Zhong Mingwei said. He also walked towards Grandma Chen, bowed to her, and then smiled. "Grandma Chen, we have a lot of people here today. We are bound to eat a lot. I'm afraid we will eat up all the money you and Mr. Chen have."
"It won't be empty! It won't be empty! I've been preparing since the New Year, and the kitchen is almost full. Besides, even if it's all gone, I'll be happy," Grandma Chen waved her hands busily. She reached out to brush off the snowflakes on Zhong Mingwei's sleeves. She also said busily, "Don't stand at the door, come in and sit down. It's warm inside."
At this moment, everyone entered the courtyard. Pang Yi unloaded two large baskets of things from the carriage. When Chen Qingxuan saw it, he immediately looked uncomfortable: "Why are you bringing more things here? Are you really afraid that we will eat out all the food?"
"Don't worry. It's not a big deal," Pang Yi smiled mysteriously at Chen Qingxuan. He lifted the red cloth covering it and waved at Chen Qingxuan, "If you don't believe me, come and take a look."
"This is..." Chen Qingxuan leaned over to take a look and was immediately stunned, "Why did you buy so many firecrackers and firecrackers?"
"Master and Madam have never set off firecrackers before, so they want to have a blast this year." Pang Yi explained as he carried a large basket and walked towards the courtyard. The remaining one was naturally carried by Chen Qingxuan.
Chen Qingxuan weighed the amount in his hand, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Having to set off so many firecrackers and firecrackers at once, I'm afraid the chickens, ducks, cats and dogs in the village will have trouble living in peace during the New Year holidays.
…
The men were playing chess and drinking tea in the room, while the women were busy in the kitchen. In fact, there was nothing to do, as Grandma Chen had already prepared the main dishes. Now they just had to get together to make dumplings and mix some cold dishes.
"Sister An, your dumplings are much better looking than before," Mei Ya watched Xiao An make a decent dumpling, and her eyes widened immediately, "Sister An, you must have practiced a lot at home, right?"
Xiao An placed the dumplings on the tray and said a little embarrassedly, "I can't help it. Who told Pang Yi to love dumplings?"
"Hey, don't let Pang Yi hear this, or he'll be showing off again," Mei Ya said, taking a dumpling wrapper from Grandma Chen. "Grandma Chen, you roll the dumpling wrappers really well, they're round and evenly proportioned. I can't even roll them like this with one hand, no matter how much I practice, I can't do it."
"Then don't practice it," Grandma Chen looked at Mei Ya and said with a smile, "A clever wife is exhausted, but a stupid daughter-in-law is blessed."
"Hey, what Grandma Chen said makes sense," Mei Ya was startled, then hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and hurriedly said to Xiao An, "Did Sister An hear that? It's okay for you to learn how to make dumplings, but don't learn anything else. If you learn everything, Pang Yi will definitely refuse to do anything, and you will definitely be tired by then."
"That's true. I've noticed that he has become even lazier since he got married," Xiao An complained. "When he was alone, he did everything by himself. But now, he just stretches out his hand for clothes and opens his mouth for food. He's just like a big shot."
"You've spoiled him like that. If you show him a disrespect, will he dare to act like a boss?" Mei Ya said with a smile. She put the wrapped dumplings on the tray and looked at Xiao An with cunning eyes. "Sister An, how about we all act like aunts today? After we finish eating and drinking, let the men do the cleaning and we can play cards and drink tea in the house?"
"That's a good idea." Xiao An nodded hurriedly.
