"Well, from now on we only need to prepare one soup base." Wu Weiqian nodded. They eat light dishes every day, so it's not bad to have spicy food occasionally.
Several people finished off the five pounds of mutton, but Wu Weijin still felt unsatisfied: "If I had known it was so delicious, I would have cut more."
"That's enough for you. Any more will be hard to digest." Wu Yuanxin glanced at him and said with a smile. His two sons had experienced family changes and so many hardships, but their personalities had not changed. They were still so positive and sunny. This made him very pleased and proud.
"We'll make it later if Second Brother wants to eat it." Qiao Mo couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wu Weijin's unsatisfied look.
"Xiao Mo is right. Just make it later when you want to eat it." Yi Ge also said with a smile.
The New Year's Eve dinner was finished while they were chatting and laughing. The Wu Weiqian brothers went to clean up the table and the kitchen, Qiao Mo went to make tea and prepare a fruit platter, and Yi Ge went to get candy and melon seeds. Wu Yuanxin took out the radio and tuned to the radio station to listen to the program celebrating the Spring Festival.
After tidying up everything that needed to be cleaned up and lighting a roaring fire in the fireplace, the family sat in the living room, listening to programs, chatting, and eating fruits and snacks. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye it was midnight. Wu Weiqian and his brother went to the yard to set off firecrackers, and Qiao Mo also went to watch the fun. The phone on the table rang.
"Xiao Mo, answer the phone." In order to help her integrate into the family faster and better, Wu Yuanxin often took the initiative to let her answer the phone.
"Hello, this is the Wu family. Who are you looking for?"
"Momo, Happy New Year." Kang Mingyuan felt his heart break when he heard Qiao Mo's soft voice.
"Brother Yuan, Happy New Year." Qiao Mo didn't expect Kang Mingyuan to call at this time.
"Momo, my work at the research institute has been successfully completed. When do you have time, let's go out for a walk together?" Kang Mingyuan said excitedly.
"Let's go to the Bund on the third day of junior high school." Qiao Mo said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at nine in the morning on the third day of the junior high school." Kang Mingyuan was so happy that he almost jumped up when he heard Qiao Mo agreed to his invitation.
"Well, let's stop chatting. My brother is still waiting for me to set off firecrackers." Qiao Mo knew that this was the time when many people called to wish each other a happy new year, and she didn't want to occupy the phone.
"Well, go and have fun." Kang Mingyuan also knew that this was a special time, and it was enough for him to say Happy New Year to her on New Year's Eve.
Qiao Mo hung up the phone and trotted off to set off firecrackers with Wu Weiqian and his brother.
"Little sister, have some." Seeing that she was so excited, Wu Weijin thought she liked setting off firecrackers, so he handed her a lit cigarette.
Qiao Mo took the cigarette, lit the firecrackers hanging on the bamboo pole, ran to Qie Ge, took her hand, and watched the firecrackers explode one by one.
After setting off the firecrackers, Wu Weijin brought out a box of various fireworks: "Brother, little sister, let's set off fireworks."
"Second brother, aren't we saving these for the Lantern Festival?"
"I saved a box for the Lantern Festival. Come on, we haven't used it in years. Let's have a good time today." Wu Weijin opened the box and took out all the big fireworks inside. They formed a circle in the front yard and then gave everyone a lit cigarette.
"There are ten fireworks, and we light two each," Wu Weijing arranged.
"Okay, I'll light these two, and then light the fireworks one by one in order from big to small." Wu Yuanxin pointed at the fireworks on the ground and arranged them one by one.
