Chapter 44 New Year



Today is New Year's Eve. Su Xia thought about paying New Year's greetings, so she got up right away without lying in bed.

I got up and looked at the tofu first. It looked good and had already taken shape. Su Xia took a knife and cut it into pieces, there were 10 pieces in total, and put them into the space first, and then take them out when it's time to eat.

Clean up the house first, and light up the coal stove and kang.

Then I pasted up the couplets and drawing paper I brought from the old house yesterday, and it gave off a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

Niuniu had a simple breakfast of porridge and pickles.

Then I started to pack clothes for both of them.

Niu Niu was wearing the same clothes she wore when she took the last photo: a red jacket, black pants, and light-colored cotton shoes.

Comb your hair, put on a clip, and you're done.

"Mom, put some fragrance on it."

Su Xia took out the baby cream and applied it on the little face bag.

"Go wait aside, mom will leave after she is dressed."

Su Xia matched her with a mid-length woolen coat, which she made with a sewing machine according to the previous style.

She was wearing black slim-fit trousers and the same cotton shoes as Niuniu.

I braided my hair into two pigtails and simply applied some moisturizer and sunscreen. Fortunately, I changed my original packaging into a small jar and put it casually on the dressing table.

Su Xia went to the kitchen and put all the meatballs and vegetarian meatballs that she had fried the day before into a bowl, leaving one plate for herself and taking the rest to the old house, where there were many people.

Then take out a large curtain and arrange the dumplings made of mixed flour one by one.

Su Xia put on a hat, scarf, and gloves for Niu Niu, and then went to the old house with the basin in her hands.

Everyone in the old house was in the main room, next to Chen's mother's bedroom.

There was a table with candies, pumpkins and melon seeds scattered on it.

I started to wish everyone a happy new year one by one. This is what my mother taught me yesterday.

Kneeling on the ground with his hands on both sides, he said with a little head: "Grandpa, grandma, happy new year, I wish you good health and a long life."

"Okay....give you red"

Father and Mother Chen were so happy looking at their granddaughter who looked so much like their eldest son that their little mouths looked as if they were covered in honey.

"Happy New Year to Uncle and Auntie, Happy New Year to Uncle and Auntie, I wish you...um...good health...

And there's also Morning Takako!"

"I wish you good fortune and prosperity.....Hehe!

Red 늵 bring it. “

Ha ha....

Several adults burst out in laughter.

Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun were so embarrassed that their faces turned red.

She pouted in embarrassment, she was still kneeling, but these adults just knew how to make fun of her--

snort.....

Su Xia was busy distributing New Year's money to Daya and the others, 1 cent each, to make the girls happy -

My aunt is so generous.

Seeing Niuniu's aggrieved look, Liu Chunxia stopped teasing her and gave her the New Year's money she had prepared.

Xia Laidi gave it generously this time. Besides, she had three children of her own and she also earned 20 cents.

After paying New Year's greetings, Mother Chen began to instruct her two daughters-in-law to cook.

Su Xia handed the dishes she brought to the third family.

"You can eat this meatball directly after heating it up."

"Mom, I still have dumplings. Go get them now."

Su Xia went back and took the curtain containing the dumplings to the old house and gave it to Chen's mother.

"Mom, this is meat stuffing, you decide where to put it first."

Mother Chen looked at the curtain of dumplings and was so happy. After thinking for a while, she took them to the room where Su Xia had lived before and put them there, planning to eat them when she was on guard at night.

Su Xia didn't get to know the cooking at the old house, mainly because her two younger siblings were diligent, so when she was not around, she was responsible for taking care of the children.

Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia had previously ignored Su Xia, and Xia Laidi would occasionally make a few sarcastic remarks.

Now the two of them dared not to show it. First, they were afraid of their sister-in-law. When this person got angry, she would really use violence and her words were vicious.

But now that I'm being polite, the sister-in-law actually gets the upper hand.

Third, Su Xia's strength is there, and they are not jealous at all.

The dining tables in the middle were not separated. The whole family was having a great time at one table.

On the table there was a dish of braised pork with potatoes, a plate of steamed bacon, a small bowl of Suxia fried meatballs, a bowl of mutton soup, and the staple food of steamed buns.

When Su Xia saw the steamed buns, she knew that the fried dough sticks here were eaten at night.

Most of the food on this table was prepared by myself. If I had not come here from the future, the Chen family would have to rely on the two kilograms of meat distributed by the team to celebrate the New Year.

The heads of the Chen family couldn't help drooling when looking at the table, let alone the children.

"Sister-in-law, is this meatball made of meat?" Xia Lai Di had long wanted to try the meatballs made by her sister-in-law. She picked up one and put it in her mouth and took a bite, and it was all meat.

"Half of it is fried pork, and the other half is fried radish stuffed with stuffing."

When the others heard the word meat, they quickly picked one up and put it in their mouths.

Well, how should I put it, it tastes delicious with a meaty aroma in the mouth.

I tried the one stuffed with radish again - um, it was so delicious. Although it didn't have the flavor of meat, it was fragrant and crispy after being fried. 놙땣 said that if Su Xia hadn't said it was radish, they wouldn't have guessed it.

"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing!" Chen Jianjun praised his sister-in-law and gave her a thumbs up.

"Dad, Mom, you guys try it, it tastes good."

Chen's father and mother said hello. Seeing that the whole family was doing well, the two old people were very happy.

Especially the eldest daughter-in-law, although she has been a bit spendthrift in the past six months, she is sensible and knows how to behave, and the relationship in the family has become much closer.

Although they still missed their eldest son a little, the two old people were still in a good mood.

The children had no time to pay attention to the adults’ complaints. They all ate until their bellies were full. They had been looking forward to this meal all year long.

The men were drinking, the women were chatting, and the children had already run to the yard to play.

The meal lasted two hours.

Father Chen was staggering as he walked. The two of them drank all the leftover white wine from Su Xia's meal.

Mother Chen was so angry that she wanted to scold him, but she held it back when she thought about the New Year.

After helping the three people to lie down in the house, several people began to clean up.

They had a small dinner at the old house. They were not very hungry after lunch, so Su Xia prepared to go back home after dinner.

As the saying goes, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own nest.

"Mom, my Niuniu will be keeping watch over there tonight, so she won't be coming over."

"Okay, I'll bring the dumplings to you after they're cooked."

"Mom, no, I've already stayed here. It's too much trouble to walk back and forth at night. You should finish eating and rest early."

After saying that, Su Xia carried Niuniu back. The kid hadn't slept all night and was starting to feel sleepy.

When I got home, I put Niu Niu on the kang first, took off her outer clothes, leaving only her thermal underwear, covered her with a quilt, and let her sleep. Anyway, I would be on guard tonight, so she could go to bed at any time.

Su Xia first added coal to the coal stove and lit up the stoves and cookers in the kitchen, so that the house would warm up in a short while.

When I have free time, I lie on the sofa, take out the tablet from the space, read novels, drink beer, eat potato chips, and spend my own time.
