On New Year's Eve, even the rhubarb dogs at the hospital entrance on the lake island were covered with small red scarves.
Early in the morning, Lottie was busy hanging lanterns on the orange trees.
"Little orange, little orange! Pick them up quickly." Bai Luoqi directed Antonio to pick the oranges while hugging the ones on the grass into his arms.
Lottie smiled and handed him the bag. "Be careful, don't drop it."
"Don't drink milk right after eating these red oranges, or you'll have a stomachache." Lottie had to remind them because she saw they had picked so many.
Bai Luoqi was having a blast. He heard from the fruit farmers that these red oranges were the most delicious, with the golden ratio of sweet and sour, and could also beautify and nourish the skin.
Seeing that Bai Luoqi didn't forget to respond, Cheng Yu smiled sweetly at Lottie while holding the orange and replied, "Okay."
Xiaobai brought Xiaojiu over, "Wow, Master, it's a red orange. The one that ripened last month was a navel orange. Both are delicious!"
Cheng Yu couldn't bear to hear the word "navel orange" and glanced at Dabai.
Dabai instantly got the scrap warning. Although he didn't know what he did wrong, he knew that shutting off the microphone was the right thing to do.
"Hehehe, master, Dabai is here to help you. Dabai can carry lots of oranges. Dabai is very useful." She walked over and took the oranges in his arms without forgetting to praise herself.
Xiaojiu turned his head away in disgust, without even looking at it, and went to help Lottie stick the word "Fu" on it.
"Grandma Lottie, is there anything delicious tonight?" Bai Luoqi was holding five red oranges and couldn't hold the sixth one.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and there must be a delicious meal waiting for his stomach.
"In addition to the essential chicken, duck, and fish, there are also your favorite glutinous rice meatballs and Xiaochengzi's favorite garlic vermicelli lobster."
Eighteen dishes are prepared tonight. Kristal, Li Hengyu and Yu Lan will all go to the lake island to celebrate New Year's Eve.
It is an essential project every year.
Xiaojiu was jumping and patting the pasted "Fu" character, while Bai Luoqi was holding Orange and reporting the results to Lottie.

It was not until the afternoon that the entire lake island was decorated. Bai Yan and Bai Lishu came back together.
One by one, they would approach the person without hesitation.
"Wife~ Do you miss me? I miss you." Bai Lishu almost wagged his tail.
Cheng Yu was wearing a new Chinese style white shirt today, a red sweater, and a lion brooch on his chest.
The warm tones contrasted sharply with his fair skin, making him look energetic.
Bai Yan took off her coat and put her arms around his waist, "Baby, you look so good."
Bai Yan has been coaxing him these days. He was so sensitive during the past few days that he ignored her.
Cheng Yu was learning how to make dumplings when she was suddenly hugged from behind. She was startled and said, "Go away."
Instead of walking away, Bai Yan hugged her even tighter, lowering his head and leaning on Cheng Yu's shoulder, acting coquettishly: "Let me hold you for a while, just a while."
His tone was like a frozen animal seeking warmth, with a hint of grievance.
Mr. Bai, do your subordinates know that you are doing this?
......
The hot air in the kitchen misted the window glass, making the scene outside vaguely visible.
In the distance, the decoration of the island in the middle of the lake has been made brand new, with red lanterns and festive paper-cuts everywhere.
Cheng Yu glanced at the dumplings on the chopping board and shook his head with a hint of regret.
Lottie handed over a wet tissue and said with a smile, "It's already very good that you can wrap it like this for the first time. Don't be too hard on yourself, little Orange. After a few more times, you will be able to wrap it even better than me!"
Bai Yan took it consciously and wiped his wife's hands. Her bony and slender fingers looked very beautiful.
Cheng Yu withdrew his hand and slapped him.
"Don't be angry." Bai Yan didn't care about the hit on the back of his hand. He used the strength of a kitten and it didn't hurt at all.
If Cheng Yu really wanted to hit him, he would have let Antonio tickle him long ago, instead of being so gentle as to just give him a slap.
"Happy New Year's Eve everyone." Chrisel came in holding Yunwushu.
Bai Luoqi's eyes lit up, and he jumped forward to greet her, "Hello Shushu!"
Chriselle misheard, "Okay, okay, that's very polite. I'll give you a red envelope for the New Year."
"Uncle, I called Shushu, not you." Bai Luoqi is a very honest kid.
What's going on?
The smile on Chrisel's face froze. She looked back at Yunwushu and asked aggrievedly, "Are all kids these days so difficult to get along with?"
Yun Wushu couldn't help laughing and patted his shoulder, then bent down and handed Bai Luoqi a red envelope.
"Thank you, Shushu." Shushu is so pretty.
Chrisel wrapped his hand. He had just caught a cold outside. Yunwushu was in poor health, and he was afraid that he would get a fever.
The scorching body temperature, lingering with sweat, wrapped around him inch by inch, warming not only his hands.
Chrisel noticed Yun Wushu's slightly red ears and frowned worriedly, "Are you still cold?"
Yun Wushu shook his head: "It's a little hot, but it's not cold inside."
"Your body is terrible. You should wear more clothes next time." Chrisel was helpless, but she couldn't bear to say anything harsh. She kept muttering and breathing into his palm.
Yun Wushu looked up at him and whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Kristel ruffled his hair lovingly. "Remember, don't do this again."
Bai Luoqi watched this scene, holding the red envelope and muttering, "Shushu and uncle have such a good relationship."
"Stop showing off your affection and come help!" Bai Yan urged Chriselle.
Chriselle responded with a smile, took Yunwushu's hand and walked towards the kitchen: "Okay, okay, I'll be right there."
"Wrap one for each of you and hold the blessing in your arms, so that the blessing won't run away in the new year." Lottie smiled and invited them all over.
These people all grew up under Lottie's care, especially Slov, Chrisel and Lu Yuqing. They have been good friends with Bai Yan since they were young.
"Just one book bag is enough. I'll pack a few more for you." Chrisel was afraid that Yunwushu would be tired.
"Don't underestimate me, I can make a few too!" Yun Wushu took the dumpling wrapper with a smile and pressed it with his fingers.
"Okay, then you try." Chrisel shook his head helplessly and slightly turned sideways to make room for Yunwushu. "But if you get tired, remember to tell me."
Yun Wushu lowered his head and carefully pinched the dumpling wrappers. His movements were a little unfamiliar at first, but every time he pinched the edge of the wrappers, he tried his best to be delicate and carefully wrapped the filling inside tightly.
"Making dumplings and eating them is a blessing." Lottie said with a smile.
"That's great." Yun Wushu lowered his head and made another dumpling, the corners of his mouth rising unconsciously.

When milk proteins (primarily casein) combine with fruit acids (such as those found in citrus fruits), they can cause a coagulation reaction, denaturing the proteins and forming small clumps. This reaction can affect milk digestion and absorption, especially if the two are consumed together. This can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, potentially leading to diarrhea, stomach pain, or vomiting.
Red orange: rich in vitamin C, antioxidant, improves blood circulation, promotes digestion, beautifies the skin, helps lose weight, and is anti-inflammatory.
PS: But don’t eat too much. Eating 1 to 2 red oranges a day is an appropriate amount.
