Chapter 1025 New Year's Eve
Chapter 1025 New Year’s Eve
Ye Chen's family next door started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner after noon.
Various ingredients are piled up all over the kitchen countertop.
Ye Chen is the one with the best cooking skills in the family, so he did his best to be the chef for this New Year's Eve dinner.
Ma Lan had bad legs and feet, so she sat on the ground picking vegetables. Xiao Churan helped Ye Chen wash vegetables, cut vegetables and prepare other ingredients. As for Xiao Changkun, he chopped the dumpling fillings by hand with a kitchen knife.
The whole family of four is helping out in the kitchen, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.
As the sky gradually darkens, dishes one after another have been served to the table.
In Villa A04, Zhang Guifen and the three of them have also begun to be busy in the kitchen.
The three women lived a relatively practical life. In addition to preparing the noodles and meat fillings for making dumplings, they also bought a chicken, a fish and two pounds of ribs, and cooked several home-cooked dishes with a combination of meat and vegetables.
Zhang Guifen felt that the opportunity to live in such a nice villa was a blessing for the three of them, so she even bought an incense burner, a handful of incense, and a very cheap portrait of Guanyin.
Before eating, Zhang Guifen, Dong Yuling and Li Yueqin knelt in front of the portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Zhang Guifen held three sticks of incense in her hands and said with great piety: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves the suffering, thank you for blessing us three miserable sisters, allowing us to live in such a nice big villa in this life, and live a life that we never dreamed of before.
Don’t worry, the three of us will work hard to make money in the future, and we will never be lazy. Please be aware of this! In addition, my disciple Zhang Guifen also asks you to bless our lives to be better and better!"
Behind her on both sides are Dong Yuling and Li Yueqin.
The two of them followed suit at this time, holding up three sticks of incense and saying: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves the suffering, please protect us!"
Then, the three of them kowtowed three times to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
After kowtowing, Zhang Guifen stood up and took the lead in inserting three sticks of incense into the incense burner. After the other two sisters also inserted incense, she said with satisfaction: "Let's go, sisters, let's have New Year's Eve dinner!"
The two said in unison: "Hello, Sister Guifen!"
When the three of them went to eat, Xiao Weiwei and Mrs. Xiao kept hiding at the corner of the stairs and watching.
They smelled the aroma of rice, so they couldn't help but come down to take a look.
Although the old lady had always wanted to save the leftovers she brought back yesterday for New Year's Eve dinner, just when it got dark, the four of them ate them up because they couldn't bear the hunger anymore.
.
There wasn't much left, and it wasn't even enough for everyone to be half full, so the four of us were still hungry.
Seeing these three women cooking a table of home-cooked dishes, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei's mouths watered with greed.
Seeing the three of them eating, Xiao Weiwei asked the old lady in a low voice: "Grandma, do you think they will leave some leftovers or something?"
Mrs. Xiao shook her head and swallowed her saliva: "I don't know, I hope..."
Xiao Weiwei said with grievance: "It would be nice if I could save two pieces of ribs and a bowl of rice. I'm afraid they won't have anything left..."
By the time I finished speaking, tears were already rolling down my face.
Mrs. Xiao stared at the incense burner in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva and said seriously: "Weiwei, don't worry, have you seen that incense burner? It's full of rice! When they go back to their room to rest in the evening, we'll use the rice in it to cook
Porridge!"
...
At this time, Ye Chen's family was in the living room, eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala. The family was enjoying themselves.
Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, two old couples who didn't like each other, rarely got into trouble with each other.
Xiao Changkun and Ye Chen drank some liquor, which made Xiao Changkun very happy.
Xiao Churan originally wanted to drink some red wine with Ma Lan, but Ma Lan snatched the red wine from her hand and poured it for herself while saying to Xiao Churan very seriously: "Chu Ran, women cannot prepare for pregnancy.
Drinking is not good for children!"
After saying that, he smiled and said to Ye Chen: "Good son-in-law, you should drink less. Drinking too much wine will affect the quality of men's tadpoles! And then affect the quality of children!"
Xiao Churan was suddenly embarrassed, and said with shame and anger: "Mom... why are you becoming more and more incapable of speaking!"
Ma Lan said seriously: "I am imparting health care experience to you. This is what those parenting experts and genetic experts on TV said!"
Xiao Churan was helpless: "Then don't be so straightforward! At least be tactful!"
Ma Lan felt a little aggrieved: "Didn't I always refer to myself as tadpole? Isn't that tactful enough?"
Xiao Changkun's drinking capacity was average, and he was already a little drunk after a few drinks. He looked at Ye Chen, and although he was a little drunk, he said very seriously: "Good son-in-law, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. I was too drunk back then.
Churan can only appear when the whole person is unconscious. Do you think the quality of Churan is different? As a daughter, I am one of the top quality in the country! She has completely inherited my quality.
Excellent genes!”
Ma Lan immediately spat and said, "You want some face too! Churan has inherited your good genes? What good genes do you have? Churan can be so beautiful because of my natural beauty!"
"Fuck you!" Xiao Changkun curled his lips: "With your genes, even if no one picks them up even if they are thrown into the sewer, you are still excellent? You are so good!"
Ma Lan threw her chopsticks and shouted angrily: "Xiao Changkun, what are you going to do? I don't want to quarrel with you during the Chinese New Year, and you don't want to be too cool!"
Xiao Changkun shrank his neck and said nervously: "Oh, am I not imparting experience to my son-in-law? This is a topic between men, so don't get involved."
After saying that, he patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and told him: "Ye Chen, you, listen to dad, don't think about anything, don't prepare anything, drink some wine if you have nothing to do, have fun, and then this matter
Maybe it will all fall into place!"
When Xiao Churan heard this, his face turned red. He immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "If you guys continue to talk about such inappropriate topics, then I will go back to the room and watch TV."
"Oh, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't!" Xiao Changkun hurriedly waved: "Isn't it okay if we don't talk to you anymore? Tonight is the first time for our family of four to celebrate the New Year alone, and we live in such a nice big villa, and we don't have to deal with your grandma.
It’s a run on people, no matter what, I have to make this New Year a success!”
Ma Lan rarely agreed with Xiao Changkun's point of view, and said cheerfully: "Yes! We must stay up until twelve o'clock no matter what we do this year!"
Xiao Churan said: "It's okay to stay up late, but you should stop talking nonsense..."
"Okay, okay!" Ma Lan said with a smile: "I know you are thin-skinned, so why not stop talking!"
Xiao Changkun also hurriedly changed the topic and said to Ye Chen: "Come, good son-in-law, let's drink!"
Ye Chen nodded, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xiao Changkun.
Just after I finished drinking, I received two WeChat messages on my phone.
When I opened it, the person who sent the WeChat message was actually Nanako Ito from Japan.
She first sent a photo of the yard of her old house in Kyoto. In the photo, the yard was covered with snow again.
Then, there was a text from her: "Ye Chenjun, today is New Year's Eve, a traditional festival in your country. Nanako would like to wish you a happy New Year! In addition, I also want to share a good news with you: It's snowing again in Kyoto tonight.
