Chapter 128 Going Home for the New Year



After Ana Shen bought some ingredients, she went into the kitchen.

She is going to eat hot pot at home today.

She had been craving for it for a long time. If it weren't for some food in the village that was inconvenient to show up, she would have eaten it long ago.

It’s more convenient in the city.

After Ana Shen prepared the ingredients for the hot pot, he took out a bag of spicy hot pot base from the space.

As the rich aroma filled the entire kitchen, Ana Shen was drooling with greed.

Zhao Yunze, who had a dog nose, smelled the scent as soon as he woke up and went downstairs.

"Sister-in-law, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good."

"Little greedy cat, go call your sister quickly. When your brother Lu Yang comes over, you can eat."

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go now."

Zhao Yunze ran upstairs, yelling as he ran: "Sister, get up, it's time to eat."

Zhao Yunduo was reading in the room. When she heard her brother calling her, she unplugged the power cord on the bed, put on her shoes and opened the door.

"Could you please not be so loud? I can hear you."

"Hey, I'm just anxious."

Zhao Yunduo rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Did you unplug the power cord in your room? My sister-in-law said that you can't leave the power cord on when no one is in the house. It could easily cause a fire."

"Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child. I won't forget this. I'll go downstairs first. You should hurry up too."

"Well, go ahead."

Zhao Yunduo returned to her room, put on her coat and went downstairs.

She had woken up a long time ago, but it was cold outside and the quilt was not warm, so she didn't go downstairs.

When she went downstairs, she happened to meet her elder brother and Lu Yang coming back.

"Brother, hello, Brother Lu Yang."

Seeing Yun Duo greeting him, Lu Yang smiled and nodded: "Hello, Sister Yun Duo."

Zhao Yunze heard the voice and ran to the living room and said, "Brother, sister-in-law said it's time to eat. Hurry up, I'm starving."

Lu Yang looked at the brat with amusement, "Boss, your brother is really naughty. I don't know what kind of delicious food sister-in-law made to make him so anxious."

"Just take a look and you'll know. I'm curious too."

Then they took off their coats, washed their hands, and went to the restaurant.

As soon as the door opened, the aroma hit their noses.

However, when looking at the table full of raw vegetables and meat, I was still a little confused.

When Ana Shen saw that everyone was there, she said, “Come on, let’s have hot pot tonight, something you’ve never had before.”

"Sister-in-law, this is the same as shabu-shabu!"

Ana Shen slapped his head, then he remembered that Lu Yang grew up in Kyoto, and this hot pot was indeed the same as the old Kyoto shabu-shabu.

The base material is different.

"Yes, it's similar to hot pot. Eating hot pot in the middle of winter is the warmest way to feel warm. But the hot pot I made is thick soup and spicy hot pot. I don't know if you can get used to it."

"Of course, I also prepared a pot of sour plum soup. If it's too spicy, just rinse it with warm water before eating."

Afterwards, the five of them gathered around a large table, where the charcoal in the brazier was burning brightly.

Ana Shen taught his younger brothers and sisters how to eat, and dinner officially began.

Zhao Yunfeng and Lu Yang ate and drank wine at the same time, which was so refreshing.

Most people in the north can eat spicy food. Even Zhao Yunze had his mouth full of oil while eating, and he put meat into his mouth while savoring it.

Shen Nanxing couldn't stop eating because she missed the taste so much.

As he ate plate after plate of mutton, Shen Nanxing was finally so full that he had to put down his chopsticks.

Zhao Yunduo is pretty good. Although she is a bit greedy, she still pays attention to her image.

Only Zhao Yunze and Shen Nanxing put down their chopsticks when they were too full.

Seeing that her husband and Lu Yang were drinking happily, Ana Shen took her sister-in-law out for a walk.

I really ate too much. If I don’t digest it, I won’t be able to sleep at night.

Besides, it’s still early for bedtime.

Shen Nanxing took his brother and sister-in-law for a stroll nearby, and ended up running into Feng Xiuxiu, who had been murdered before.

When Feng Xiuxiu saw her benefactor, she walked over with a smile and said, "Sister Shen, when did you come back? I missed you so much."

"It's Xiuxiu. We came back this morning. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Okay, Sister Shen's medicine is still effective. Originally, my parents wanted to treat you to a meal, but you went home. Since you are back, come to our house for dinner tomorrow. After the New Year, I will leave here, okay?"

Seeing that she invited him sincerely, Ana Shen felt embarrassed to refuse.

"Then I'll take my sister-in-law with me to the place tomorrow at noon."

"Okay, I'll go home now and tell my parents. I'll come see you tomorrow at noon. Bye."

Feng Xiuxiu said goodbye to Ana Shen and went back home.

No more entanglement.

She is content that people don't look down on her status.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have long despised her for being unlucky.

Ana Shen continued to take his younger brother and sister-in-law for a few rounds of strolling, but he couldn't stand the winter cold anymore, so he returned home.

Zhao Yunfeng drank a little too much tonight. After all, his career and love life are both going well, and he is very content.

Even Lu Yang was very envious.

As the peaceful days gradually passed.

The New Year of 1966 soon arrived.

During this period, Ana Shen bought all kinds of New Year's goods, and even sent several packages to Kyoto.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Yunfeng took a day off and drove home with his wife and sister.

Lu Yang also boarded the train early and returned to Kyoto.

Before leaving, Shen Nanxing also stuffed a particularly large package into his pocket.

Walking on the light winter snow, Zhao Yunfeng drove slowly into the village.

As soon as we arrived at the door, Zhao's father and mother opened it.

Seeing that the children were all well, Zhao's mother nagged, "How come you still remember to come back? It's almost New Year's Eve."

Ana Shen got out of the car and said coquettishly: “Mom, next time we go to the city, I will take you and father with me. This time it’s really because Brother Feng has a lot of work, otherwise we would have come back a long time ago, so don’t be angry.”

"Mom is not angry, she is just worried about you. You are all standing here. Come inside quickly. It's cold outside."

"Okay, Mom, take the things out of the car first. They are all the New Year's goods I bought, as well as new clothes for you and Dad."

Mother Zhao said coquettishly: "Just spend money recklessly!"

Although he said this, his smile never faded.

The Zhao family is so happy that she has such a caring daughter-in-law.

Ana Shen smiled and helped unload the goods.

Zhao Yunfeng parked the car in the yard, found a straw mat to cover it, took out all the things, and then walked into the room.

Their family doesn't have a garage, and the weather in Northeast China is still cold. Not only does the car need to be taken care of, but it also needs to be started and burned every day, otherwise it will freeze and become troublesome.

Spending money is a small matter, but I’m worried that something might happen at the Municipal Bureau and the car won’t start, wasting time.
