Lu Huaijin had already brought out the food.

Zhang Liang was drooling as he sat in front of the dining table, anxiously waiting for them to finish chatting.

Fortunately, Xu Niannian was also very fast and tied a beautiful bow on the back of Lu Aicheng's hand:

"Let's go eat."

When Lu Aicheng sat down at the table and saw the six dishes on the table, her jaw dropped:

"No, you guys eat so well?"

She thought it would be difficult to get food and drink in such a remote place.

But looking at the familiar bowl of noodles with soybean paste, the fragrant fried vegetable corners, pot stickers, chicken stewed with mushrooms...

Her saliva almost flowed out.

Xu Niannian saw that she didn't move her chopsticks:

"Eat quickly. You haven't had a good meal in the past few days on the road. You need to make up for it."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Even if the ingredients were available, it must have taken a lot of effort to make this meal.

She tasted the noodles first. They were chewy and elastic. If it weren't for the habits she had developed over the years, she would have swallowed the bowl empty-handed.

Lu Aicheng grabbed another piece of vegetable and took a bite. Unexpectedly, it was filled with fresh chives and meat:

"Sister-in-law, how did you get this leek? It's still so fresh."

"I grew them myself. When you've rested, I'll take you to see the yard."

The chicken stewed with mushrooms was so delicious that the mushrooms absorbed all the soup and the chicken was so soft and boneless.

This meal is simply "absolute."

Ever since Zhang Liang started eating, he hasn't said a single extra word.

The two little guys just started eating in order to wait for their aunt to eat together. They were eating more deliciously when someone was eating with them.

The portions of these dishes were quite large, but the family finished all of them without leaving any.

After Zhang Liang finished eating, he touched his stomach. It had been a long time since he had such a full meal.

"Sister-in-law, you have worked so hard."

"It's okay. Thank you for saving Ai Cheng today."

I just listened to what he said. The situation was quite urgent at that time.

If he arrives late, the consequences will be disastrous. I was the one who invited him in the first place. If something really happens, I will definitely not be able to live with it.

Zhang Liang smiled with his big white teeth:

"My responsibility."

Regardless of whether they are brothers or sisters, he has a responsibility. However, he hopes to save more people from the Lu family so that there will be an endless supply of delicious food.

Xu Niannian packed another plate of mung bean cake for Zhang Liang and asked him to take it away.

When Zhang Liang went out, he remembered that the things he bought were still in the car, so he brought them back for him.

Just then he saw Lu Aichen untying her braids. Originally he thought of her as a little sister, but when he saw her from the side, he suddenly felt his heart beating faster.

He stumbled over his words:

"This is for you to eat."

He stuffed the thing directly into the girl's arms and ran away without looking back.

Lu Aicheng was confused by what was said and turned to Lu Huaijin who was behind her.

Her brother's face didn't look very good either:

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. Go take a shower and sleep for the night. Get some rest."

I felt like someone was targeting my own cabbage. After thinking about it, I felt that Zhang Liang had a good character and a good family background, so I hadn't had a boyfriend in all these years.

"good."

She was indeed very tired.

He returned to the bedroom in a daze, changed into pajamas, and lay down next to Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian looked at his frown:

"What's wrong?"

Lu Huaijin shook his head at first, then said;

"I consider him a brother, and he wants to be my brother-in-law."

Xu Niannian burst out laughing:

"Are you talking about Zhang Liang? I think that boy is pretty good. At least he hasn't been in a relationship in these years. He doesn't have a white moonlight or anything like that, which could cause trouble later. He also knows how to behave when it comes to matters between men and women."

"What is white moonlight?"

"That's... the person you once loved but couldn't get, and who you can't forget."

Lu Huaijin instantly thought of He Conghao, and his throat felt like he had swallowed a fly, and he said bitterly:

"White moonlight is not a good thing. If you really love someone that much, there is no reason to separate two people. If you miss it, you miss it. It's better not to have it."

When he returns to Kyoto, I will definitely beat him up a couple more times to vent my anger.

Xu Niannian didn't know that he had thought so much, so she patted him:

"As long as the other party has good character and a decent family background, let your sister talk freely. What's wrong with being your brother? It's a close relationship, and you can still keep an eye on it. It's better than marrying someone else."

Lu Huaijin said "hmm" and held the person in his arms:

"Go to sleep."

The little girl in my arms said slowly:

"If you give birth to a girl, when she gets married, you will understand what it means to be eaten by a pig."

As expected, Lu Huaijin's expression darkened again.

He directly held her earlobe in his mouth and kissed her neck fiercely:

"If you don't want to sleep, we can do something else."

Xu Niannian immediately shut her mouth.

When she had enough sleep, she was the only one left in the bed.

Lu Huaijin was using paste to stick couplets in the yard, and two little kids were behind him directing them to make sure they were not crooked.

The word "Fu" and window decorations have been pasted.

I don’t know who came up with the idea, but they also pasted all the little portraits she cut out that day on it.

While Lu Aicheng was still asleep, Xu Niannian went to take another family photo.

Not to mention, looking at the red yard, the atmosphere of the New Year is instantly felt.

It’s a pity that we can’t set off firecrackers now, otherwise it would have added to the festive atmosphere.

The next day, Lu Aicheng, who had slept all day, got up early with everyone else.

Lu Huaijin was responsible for killing chickens, rabbits, and fish...

Because Lu Aicheng's hand was injured, she helped Xu Niannian.

I prepared the food in the morning and had a simple meal at noon.

We started preparing the real New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon.

First, the glutinous rice balls, which are a must-have for the Chinese New Year, are made. As they are fried, they slowly expand from small to large. Then some spring rolls are fried, sprinkled with a layer of white sugar, and put in the oven to keep warm.

The focus of the Chinese New Year is eating meat, so the shrimp balls, beef balls and fish balls made earlier all came in handy.

Halfway through the cooking, Zhang Liang came and helped to clean here and there. Lu Huaijin didn't bother to be polite with him and directed him to do the work.

As night fell, dishes were served on the table.

During the Chinese New Year, Xu Niannian specially prepared a pork head and fried peanuts for Lu Huaijin and Zhang Liang as snacks.

Other dishes include four-joy meatballs, squirrel fish, kung pao chicken, spicy hot pot, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, shredded cabbage with vinegar, green vegetables with garlic, stir-fried pork with green pepper, shredded pork with fish flavor, spring rolls, egg tarts…

These dishes are placed together, which makes people's appetite growl just by looking at them.

Because there were so many varieties, we had to put two tables together at home to accommodate them all.

Zhang Liang could hardly hold back his tears; this was the first time he had such a prosperous New Year.

"Sister-in-law, you are really good at cooking!"

In the past, I would occasionally call Xu Niannian "sister-in-law" because she was young, but now I feel that I admire her as my sister-in-law!
