"Naughty boy~" Bai Rong knocked on Zhang Xinxin's head and shook her head helplessly.
The smile on his face never faded.
They had dumplings for dinner, and Ruan Mengmeng was lucky enough to eat the coin wrapped in the dumpling.
"Haha... Ruan Xiaomeng, I'll rely on you from now on." Zhang Xinxin joked with a smile.
"Oh, oh, oh, don't rely on me, your man is still here." Ruan Mengmeng turned her body to the side and hid behind Zhang Sinian.
She is a weak pregnant woman now, so how can she be supported? She still has to rely on her man.
"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
The days passed quickly, and a week later, the sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." The two best friends got up early just to wish their elders at home a happy new year.
The three elders gave red envelopes to everyone with a happy smile.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Thank you, uncle, and dad." Zhang Xinxin turned into a caring little cotton-padded jacket, and each word he said was sweeter than the last.
You don’t have to do anything during the Chinese New Year, just eat and drink well.
After breakfast, the men in the family went out one after another.
Zhang Weiguo and his son, as well as Tian Kai, went to pay New Year's greetings to their comrades and leaders.
Ma Dahe is now expanding the company's business and has made many friends, so he went to find his friends.
Bai Rong couldn't leave the two pregnant women. While taking care of them, she started preparing lunch at home early.
Even Ruan Zilong ran out to find his classmates.
At half past twelve, everyone went home as agreed.
Everyone brought back something.
That should be the return gift they received when they visited to wish someone a happy new year.
There were snacks, cigarettes, and alcohol, even Ruan Zilong's pockets were full.
Ruan Mengmeng opened it and took a look. Inside were some candies, melon seeds, peanuts, and two packets of chocolate.
"Sister, this chocolate was specially left for me by my classmate. I couldn't bear to eat it. You try it, it tastes very good." As he said that, Ruan Zilong took out a pack, opened the package and was about to stuff it into Ruan Mengmeng's mouth.
"I just want half of it." Ruan Mengmeng waved her hand, broke off half of it and put it in her mouth, savoring it carefully.
The slightly bitter and sweet taste fills the mouth, a bit silky and a bit comfortable, the taste is really good.
"Is it delicious?" Ruan Zilong pinched the remaining half of the chocolate and stared at Ruan Mengmeng with anticipation.
"Yeah, it's really delicious." Ruan Mengmeng nodded.
"Okay, you actually cheated on me." At this time, Zhang Xinxin just came out of the bathroom.
Seeing the interaction between the brother and sister, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
She's obviously very nice to me, so why did he cheat on me without telling me and bringing her along?
What should I do if she is so jealous?
"I didn't tell your sister Xinxin that this half piece is for you." Ruan Zilong felt a little guilty. He held the half piece of chocolate in his right hand, not knowing where to put it.
"Really?" Zhang Xinxin raised an eyebrow. "You still have some conscience."
Since it was given to her by her younger brother, she won't be polite.
Let me make it clear that I really gave it to her on my own initiative, she didn’t ask for it.
She took the half chocolate and put it in her mouth, her eyes narrowed slightly. "Mmm, it's delicious."
"Let me see if you have anything delicious in your pocket?" After chewing the chocolate in her mouth, she rolled her eyes and started to set her sights on Ruan Zilong's pocket.
"No, nothing." Ruan Zilong dodged sideways.
Don't think he doesn't know, this guy is a foodie. After eating the chocolate, he started to think about his other things.
"I don't believe it. I seemed to see a bag of chocolate in your pocket just now." Seeing the younger brother dodged, Zhang Xinxin chased him relentlessly.
"No, that's left for uncle, you can't eat it." Seeing that she was about to catch up with him, Ruan Zilong ran away.
"Haha, haha..." Behind him, Zhang Xinxin was laughing so hard that he fell backwards.
"Look, I was just teasing him, look how scared he was..." After a while, Zhang Xinxin laughed enough and turned around to say to Ruan Mengmeng.
Bai Rong prepared a large table of delicious food for lunch.
There are braised fish, braised lion's head, stir-fried lamb with green onions, dry pot chicken, spicy rabbit meat, steamed sea bass, braised prawns, spicy and sour hairtail, garlic greens, and an old duck soup.
There are ten dishes in total, which symbolize perfection.
"Cheers, and I wish you all the best in the new year."
"Happy New Year!" Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together.
"Eat your food." Bai Rong greeted everyone.
Needless to say, the two men took over the task of picking out fish bones and peeling shrimps.
The two best friends only need to be responsible for eating.
Ruan Zilong has grown into a young boy now, and he knows how to care for others. He keeps picking up food for Ma Dahe.
"Xiaolong, uncle doesn't want any more. I've eaten enough, enough." Ma Dahe refused with his mouth, but the smile on his face never faded. His heart felt sweet as if he had eaten honey, and he was very happy.
"Uncle, don't be polite. Eat more. Zilong remembers you. That's his filial piety. Just accept it." Zhang Xinxin teased with a smile.
"Well, Xiaolong has grown up and become sensible." Ma Dahe picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The meal took more than an hour, and by the end, the food on the table had almost been eaten.
With a few grown men around, there's no need to worry about leftovers.
Besides, Bai Rong’s cooking skills are very good. The food she makes is delicious and comparable to that of a star hotel.
Time flies. After the first day of the Lunar New Year, it’s the second and third days…
By the time Ruan Zilong started school, it was already the eighth day of the New Year.
The New Year has passed and the Zhang family has few relatives.
Zhang Xinxin would go back with Tian Kai to visit every year.
Now she is pregnant with twins, so it is not suitable for her to travel long distances at all.
Bai Rong would not agree with her running back and forth like this, so she didn't go anywhere this year and just stayed at home obediently.
Stay where Bai Rong can see you.
Otherwise, Bai Rong would not feel at ease at all.
A daughter who is married off is like spilled water, but there is no such saying for Bai Rong.
She only knew that her daughter was in pain.
After Ruan Zilong was sent away by Ma Dahe, the men quickly got back to work.
Bai Rong and the two pregnant women were left at home again, and life seemed to have returned to normal.
…..
That day, after dinner, the two best friends were sitting on the sofa watching TV, with a fruit plate and dried fruits on the coffee table in front of them.
While eating, the two of them commented on the characters in the TV series.
"This woman is so stupid. She knows that the man's heart is not with her, but she still refuses to give up. If it were me, I would have divorced him long ago." Zhang Xinxin was so angry that the walnut kernel in her mouth made a crunching sound as she bit it.
She wished she could get in there, grab the heroine and beat her up.
"Well, aren't you angry at all?" Zhang Xinxin was furious after complaining for a long time, only to see her best friend sitting there as if nothing had happened.
