Chapter 176 176. New Year’s Eve Dinner

In the past two days, the two sisters are knitting some gloves, gloves and socks that are easy to knit. They can knit a pair of socks or gloves in a day. They gave it to Zhou Daye and his wife, and Xie Lu's woven to Zhou Dayang and his wife.

After posting couplets and the word "Fu" and basically nothing is done. I just wait for New Year's Eve, have New Year's Eve dinner, and stay up to the New Year.

However, these have little to do with Lin Qingxi. She was deprived of all actions because of her pregnancy and could only sit on the kang and wait for food, watching the others busy.

On New Year's Eve, Zhou's mother took Zhou Mingmin to stay in the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner after breakfast. Others didn't allow her to go in and help.

Seeing that there was not much firewood at home, Zhou's father took Lin Yizheng and five boys out to pick up firewood. Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu stayed at home to chat with Zhou and his wife.

In the main hall, Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Dajiang and his wife wearing brand new winter clothes with a smile. They ate better at the Zhou family during this period, and had more meat on their faces, and they became energetic, not at all as they had before.

"Grandma, this clothes are made and you can wear them. Put the old things first. When I buy cotton next year, I will add some cotton to the old winter clothes before wearing them. Now I'm wearing them a little thinner."

Lin Qingxi had wanted them to take off the old winter clothes before, but the new winter clothes were not ready and had no excuses to take out the cotton in the space. She could only add a sweater in the middle to deal with it first. Anyway, it was cold and I wouldn't go out to walk around.

"Okay, I'll give you the blessing of your younger generation. My mother and I have not made new clothes for a long time." Nowadays, no one has made new clothes for three years, so Lin Qingxi is willing to make new winter clothes for the two old ones, so they are particularly moved.

"Yes!" After touching the warm cotton coat on his body, Grandma Zhou was so happy that she didn't enjoy the blessings of her son, but she was also good to enjoy the blessings of her grandson-daughter-in-law.

"Don't praise me, grandma, I'm going to have a few months left. Generally, twins will be born one month earlier, and triplets are likely to be born two months earlier. In other words, I might have been born in May until March, so don't go back to my uncle's house first. Stay there for a long time. We are afraid that we can't stand it at that time, so we have to bother you and the second elders to take care of the children!"

Lin Qingxi thought for a long time, and then she would keep Zhou Dajiang and his wife for a long time on the grounds that the triplets needed to be taken care of, which would reduce the burden on Zhou Guitang and his family, and would also allow Zhou Dajiang and Grandma Zhou to eat better at home and to raise their bodies.

The life of Zhou Dajiang and his wife at the eldest son Zhou Guitang's house was not difficult, but the conditions for Zhou Guitang's family were placed there. The eldest son Zhou Mingfa has two sons, the eldest son has started a family and a son. The younger one is 18 years old this year and has not yet started a family. Recently, they are visiting each other.

Although Zhou Dajiang and his wife don’t have to go to the floor to earn work points, they still have to do housework at home. Zhou Dajiang is responsible for the firewood at home, and they don’t have to pick up firewood. Grandma Zhou is responsible for cooking, cleaning, etc.

"Okay, let's talk about it then," Zhou Dajiang lived for decades. Although it was a reason for not being able to bring the child, he knew that the biggest reason was that his younger son and his older son were in disguise to supplement their two old son and his older son and his family.

"Okay, after the New Year, I will ask my dad to pack some clothes for you and stay here. I don't need to bring bedding or something. If you have clothes at home, I'm afraid I'll make new ones for you, so forget it," Lin Qingxi said with a smile, her eyes full of cunning.

Not long after, the smell of meat came from the kitchen. Lin Qingxi knew that it was going to be fried pork. This is a must-eat dish for New Year's Eve dinner and the New Year. I was very delicious with plum vegetable pork or dried beans under the pork.

"Look at this day, it may snow again in the afternoon. Xi Yatou, don't go to pay New Year's greetings in the past few days, just let Yizheng and Yirong go," Zhou Dajiang looked out the window. The wind was cold and the echo was loud, which was definitely abnormal.

"I think so if you don't say it. It's too cold outside. My belly is so big that I can't see my feet. I definitely won't go to pay New Year's greetings," Lin Qingxi responded without thinking.

During the chat, it was lunch time. Zhou's mother focused on preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and treated her casually, but she was better than other people's meals.

After dinner, it was as if Zhou Dajiang said. It started to snow heavily outside. Zhou's father and others were forced to stay at home. In less than two hours, the ground was covered with snow.

The main hall was very warm, the kang was very hot and there was a fire wall, and the temperature in the house was still very high. Everyone sat on the kang, and Zhou's mother brought over the ten kilograms of cornmeal she had delivered in the morning and asked everyone to make dumplings. It was a good idea to eat dumplings on the morning of the New Year's Day.

Eating dumplings is a very serious matter. Zhou’s mother prepared three kinds of fillings, namely sauerkraut pork belly stuffing, egg and leek stuffing, shrimp paste stuffing and three fresh stuffing. The shrimp was brought to the river with her children two days ago.

At the New Year's Eve dinner at night, Zhou's mother was too lazy to get into trouble. She put the food on the kang and set up a table on the kang. Because it was snowing, Lin Qingxi did not ask the people from the Zhou family to come for dinner.

"Tomorrow is a new day for the new year. Children should work hard to study hard. We adults will also work hard to earn work points, so that we can have a full meal every day and eat meat frequently in the future." This time, Zhou's father did not speak by himself, but asked Zhou Dajiang, the president, to speak.

Zhou Dajiang also said a few simple words, picked up a piece of pork for his wife, and everyone started to eat. The dishes served on the table included fish and meat, and everyone was very satisfied.

"Dad, master, there is wine in the cabinet. Do you want to have a sip?" Lin Qingxi looked at the food on the table. Seeing that Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang were a little depressed, she knew that they were addicted to alcohol, so she immediately smiled.

"Dad, let's open a bottle to drink?" Zhou's father said as he looked up at Zhou Dajiang. Seeing that he nodded slightly, he immediately walked over and took a bottle of Wuliangye from the cabinet.

When Zhou opened the bottle cap, his father Zhou did not go to get the cup. He poured the wine directly into the bowl. It happened that a bottle of wine was two bowls. Because the staple food at night was buns, the bowl of rice was a small bowl. Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang each had a bowl of wine. The father and son occasionally touched the glasses and took a sip of wine, and they drank very happily.

The other lazy people were bothering them. Anyway, they were drinking at home, and it would be okay to get drunk, so they went with them, eating very vigorously.

After dinner, Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang were a little drunk, but they were still awake. Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin packed up the dishes and sat on the kang for a while. After taking turns washing, Lin Qingxi and the children went back to their rooms to rest, leaving Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Dajiang and his wife to sit on the kang to stay up.
