"It's time to eat." Chen Minhui's voice rang out in the kitchen. Nangong Ruochen and Nangong Ruoyi quickly entered the kitchen to help serve the food.
At the dinner table, Chen Minhui said happily: "Tonight's dishes are all made by Honglan. I am just helping out. Let's have a taste of her cooking skills."
After that, he took the lead in eating a piece of braised pork and praised: "Honglan's cooking skills are good, this braised pork is delicious."
Others also started to eat. Although the dish tasted average, everyone was very supportive and praised it.
"Honglan, eat more. Look at your small body, you are too thin." The mother-in-law looked at the shy sister-in-law, picked up food for her enthusiastically, and chatted with her. Gradually, she relaxed.
After the meal, she took the initiative to clean up and wash the dishes. Nangong Ruochen stepped forward to stop her and said, "Sister-in-law, you are tired from cooking. Go over there and have a rest! Let me clean up the dishes."
"Little brother, let me do it. You, a grown man, are not suitable for doing these housework." Liao Honglan really thinks that housework should be done by women. Since she married Nangong Ruoyi, she has been responsible for all the housework and has not let him get involved.
Chen Huimin didn't expect his eldest daughter-in-law to be such a diligent person, but he still said, "Honglan, come over and have a rest. Let Ruochen clean up."
"Mom, this isn't a lot of work. I'll be done in a moment. Let me go and have a rest!" Liao Honglan was very determined. Nangong Ruochen was a brother-in-law, so it was not easy for him to compete with her. He returned to the sofa and sat down quietly.
Yun Siying? This showed that she was too lazy, but she didn't get up to help. She had to change her lifestyle just because she had a diligent sister-in-law.
On the second day, the family got up early and had breakfast. The children played in the living room, Nangong Ruochen's father played chess in the living room, and his grandfather wrote Spring Festival couplets with cut red paper. Nangong Ruoyi sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.
Liao Honglan, Yun Siying and Chen Minhui learned how to cut paper-cuts with the word "Fu" in them, but they were both new learners and their cutting looked ugly at first. Fortunately, Yun Siying took her time and the hair looked better and better. In the end, her hair was even better than Chen Minhui's.
Chen Huimin was shocked and praised, "Siying, you are really good at learning and doing things. The word "Fu" you cut out for window decorations is even better than mine, which took a lot of effort."
"It's because of your teaching, mom, that I was able to learn so quickly." Yun Siying had a smile on her face. She felt a great sense of accomplishment and she kept cutting paper.
The haircuts done by the eldest sister-in-law were not satisfactory. It was difficult for her to cut a complete one. After much difficulty, she cut one but it was so ugly that she gave up directly.
Liao Honglan looked at her work and gave up, saying, "Mom, sister-in-law, it seems that I don't have a talent for paper cutting, so I won't waste paper."
"Then don't lose weight. You can go watch TV to relieve your boredom. Leave this job to us." Chen Huimin took a look at his eldest daughter-in-law's clothes, feeling speechless.
Chen Minhui shouted, "Bo Ming, Ruo Chen, Ruo Yi, you three can go and paste the word 'Fu' on the window paper-cuts."
Nangong Boming stared at the chessboard, his brain racing, and he casually replied, "Wait a moment, Ma Xiao will be here soon."
Looking at his appearance, Chen Huimin took a deep breath, and went into the kitchen to prepare paste, which he would later use to paste the word "Fu" on the window decorations. She prepared the paste and brought it to the living room, her cold eyes darting towards Nangong Boming who was still concentrating on playing chess.
He felt a chill on his back, and when he turned around, he saw his wife's cold gaze, which frightened him so much that he immediately stood up, reluctantly looking away from the chessboard, and said to his son, "Ruochen, Ruoyi, let's go and paste the window paper-cuts and the word "Fu" first, and then come back to continue."
Then he walked quickly to Chen Minhui and smiled flatteringly: "Wife, thank you for your hard work. I will leave the rest to you, Ruochen. I will make it beautiful and I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Chen Minhui glared at him: "Humph!"
My father-in-law took the cut window flowers and the word "Fu" and left with the paste. The old man also put down his brush and said, "Take the Spring Festival couplets and paste them together."
"Okay, grandpa." Nangong Ruochen, who followed behind, hurriedly took the Spring Festival couplets and quickly followed his father.
Little Momo looked at the three people walking forward and asked curiously, "Dad, uncle, grandpa, what are you going to do?"
Nangong Ruochen said without even turning his head: "Go and paste window decorations and spring couplets."
"Wait for me, I want to go too." Momo put down the toy in his hand and ran to follow 껗. Xuanxuan watched his brother run away, and he also ran to follow 껗.
"Mom, I'll go make lunch." Liao Honglan said and walked into the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, let's do it together!" Yun Siying followed her into the kitchen. She felt embarrassed to be lazy on New Year's Eve. If only Aunt Chen didn't come home, she could just wait to eat the ready-made food.
"Okay, sister-in-law." Liao Honglan felt a lot more relaxed today. Her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law were both very easy to get along with.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen together. All they could hear were the sounds of Yun Siying's arrangements, as well as the sounds of water washing and vegetables cooking.
When the aroma came from the kitchen, Yun Siying called out, "Achen, it's time to set the table for dinner."
"Okay, big brother, you go serve the food, I'll go set off the firecrackers first." Nangong Ruochen walked into the yard with a string of firecrackers, and Mo Mo and Xuan Xuan followed him, wanting to watch their father set off firecrackers.
Nangong Ruochen placed the two children in a safe area, reminded them to be careful, and asked them to cover their ears with their hands before he lit the firecrackers. He then quickly ran behind the two children, hugged them, and gave them enough sense of security.
The sound of firecrackers "crackling" rang out. At the moment the firecrackers exploded, even though they covered their ears, Mo Mo and Xuan Xuan's bodies trembled. But after feeling their father's solid and strong arms, the fear in their hearts gradually disappeared. They took down their hands that were covering their ears and shouted excitedly, very happy.
When the father and his two sons finished setting off the firecrackers and returned to the living room, the dining table was already filled with sumptuous dishes, and the family happily ate lunch.
Liao Honglan had wanted to eat it after seeing it. The dish had a beautiful color and a strong aroma. She wanted to try what it tasted like. She put a piece of braised pork in her mouth and started eating. Her eyes lit up instantly and she praised happily: "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good. The taste of this braised pork is amazing. It's even better than those made by the chefs in state-owned restaurants."
"Then try the other dishes and see if they suit your taste." Yun Siying was very pleased to hear her praise.
Liao Honglan really took a bite of each dish and praised it highly, "They are all delicious, sister-in-law, you are amazing."
