Chu Yao started cooking only after Yang Hang came back from his shift. In this weather, food would get cold easily if cooked too early.
The New Year's Eve dinner was still very sumptuous, with braised fish, dried rabbit meat from home, a hen that Chu Yao bought from a fellow villager in town, half of which was made into soup and half was stir-fried, and cabbage pickled in vinegar.
Chu Yao's family has already had several litters of rabbits. In addition to eating them themselves, they also send some to Chen Dasao's family and send some back to their hometown. When Yao Jinnian went back this time, he made a lot more.
Ever since the babies tasted the delicious rabbit meat, they no longer ask their father to slaughter rabbits.
In addition, there are the plump white dumplings made by Chu Yao, which are always enough for the whole family. It is mainly for the two adults to eat, as the babies are still young and don’t eat much.
As usual, the dishes on New Year’s Eve were not finished and some were left for the first day of the next year.
After dinner, Yang Hang took on some of the housework, including washing dishes, boiling water, bathing the babies, and coaxing them to sleep. These are basically all Yang Hang's jobs now.
Chu Yao is still writing her own manuscript. The pen name she is using now already has some readers. The newspaper wrote to her last time and asked her if she would like to write more during the New Year. The readers are really urging her to write more.
So after finishing her studies, Chu Yao devoted a lot of time to writing. After all, the royalties were quite considerable.
"Ayao, it's eleven o'clock. Take a rest. I'll take a rest tomorrow and do the housework. You should write well tomorrow."
Chu Yao stretched her stiff body after hearing what Yang Hang said. Yang Hang came forward with a stern look on his face to give Chu Yao a massage, but after a while, the massage shifted to other places.
Chu Yao couldn't understand why this person was so keen on this matter. She felt that even if the man was too capable, it wouldn't be good, because she would be the one who suffered.
"Yang Hang, we just met last night. Can you let me take a day off today?" Chu Yao used her best way to act like a spoiled brat.
Little did Yang Hang know that what he was waiting for was Chu Yao's feminine side at this moment, which made him even more excited.
"Ayao, yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. Don't forget it. Besides, I like doing this to you."
After the two of them had been whispering in each other's ears for a while, Chu Yao didn't want to move at all. Every time afterwards, Yang Hang would clean up the traces and then carry Chu Yao to the babies' room.
Yang Hang and his family spent the Spring Festival of 1976 alone. Yao Jinnian returned to Kyoto, and they had no time to go back to their hometown. The family spent a simple and warm Spring Festival in the family quarters.
The things that needed to be prepared for my hometown and Uncle Nian were sent there before the New Year.
