"Zi!"

Lin Tieniu reached out and poured a large plate of fatty pork into the pot. With the sound of frying, the rich aroma of meat suddenly filled the yard.

Everyone looked forward to it with eager anticipation, and their throats couldn't help but surge.

The naughty children who were playing around also gathered around one by one, staring at the tumbling pork in the cauldron without blinking, with a trace of water gradually seeping out of the corners of their mouths.

"Haha, we are in luck today. The food made by Tieniu is really delicious!"

The third aunt said with a greedy look on her face.

"That's right, just by smelling this, I can eat several big steamed buns."

The second aunt immediately spoke up.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, the other women couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, sister, why do I feel that you are a little different from before?"

Qin Jingru looked at Qin Huairu's radiant face and asked with some confusion.

"Really? Maybe you are happy for the Chinese New Year!"

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed and she said with a smile.

"oh!"

Qin Jingru nodded doubtfully, then turned to glance at Lin Tieniu.

Vaguely, she felt that this must have something to do with Lin Tieniu.

"Let's go! Let's put the dishes and chopsticks away. The food will be served later."

Qin Huairu saw Qin Jingru's expression and hurriedly changed the topic and urged.

When Qin Jingru heard this, she didn't want to think about it anymore and continued to work with Qin Huairu.

"The food is here!"

Silly Zhu shouted excitedly and brought a large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms to the table.

With a huff, he was surrounded by naughty children, all staring at the chicken in the basin and swallowing their saliva.

"Go, go, don't make trouble here. I'll call you after dinner."

Yan Bugui hurriedly stepped forward to scold him and rescued Si Zhu. By the way, when no one was paying attention, he secretly grabbed a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth.

"Hey, third uncle, you are not talking about this!"

Silly Zhu raised his eyebrows and said.

"Hmm, oh, this step of helping the blind has a taste!"

Yan Bugui bit into the chicken and said vaguely.

"Sure, you really know how to think things over."

Silly Zhu said angrily.

Soon after, delicious and fragrant dishes were served to the table one after another.

Everyone also sat down and waited for the meal. There were 180 people in the courtyard and the entire middle courtyard was packed.

Lin Tieniu put down the spatula and was pulled by Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to sit on the main table at the front. Sitting next to him was the ancestor of the courtyard, the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady looked at Lin Tieniu, smiled and said proactively: "Boy, thank you so much! Our courtyard has not been so lively for a long time."

"Old lady, you've thanked me. After all, I am also a member of this hospital, so I should contribute a little."

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and said modestly.

"You have a good heart, but your temper is too serious, so you are not a master who can suffer losses."

The deaf old lady took a deep look at Lin Tieniu and said with some emotion.

"Haha! You will eat more later."

Lin Tieniu said with a smile.

"Hey! You kid is just trying to make me shut up, right?"

The deaf old lady said angrily.

"You are not a person who can suffer losses!"

Lin Tieniu raised his eyebrows and said calmly.

"Ha ha!"

The deaf old lady was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

At this time, Liu Haizhong saw that everyone was already seated, he hurriedly smiled and stood up and said loudly: "Well, today is New Year's Eve, let me say a few words here!"

"In previous years, every household would have a New Year's Eve dinner behind closed doors, but this year, with Lin Tieniu's strong support, we have this time to have a New Year's Eve dinner together in the yard. Here, I will first

Thank you everyone, Lin Tieniu."

"In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to make a proposal to everyone. In this new year and new atmosphere, I propose that Lin Tieniu will be the leader of our hospital from next year. Do you think it is okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause and approval from below.

"good!"

"Okay, that's it!"

"Yes, I agree."

"..."

In the crowd, Xu Damao echoed loudly with excitement on his face, and did not forget to show Lin Tieniu a flattering smile.

During this time, his reputation in the courtyard and the factory had deteriorated a lot. Many people he had met through the Lou family had kept their distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, making his life much harder.

After much thought, he felt that only Lin Tieniu could help him change this situation, so whenever he had the opportunity, he would unabashedly show his goodwill.

Lin Tieniu glanced at Xu Damao in a funny way, then stood up, waved his hands, and said loudly: "Well, thank you everyone for your kindness. I am still young and not very familiar with things in our courtyard. Being a leader is still a big deal.

Come on!"

"Don't worry, no matter whether I am the leader of our hospital or not, I will definitely help with any matters in this hospital in the future. Everyone should eat now! Otherwise, the dishes will not taste good when they get cold."

After hearing his words, Liu Haizhong wanted to persuade her again, but he pushed her down immediately.

Yan Bugui knew Lin Tieniu's character well and did not try to persuade him.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then, not knowing who moved the chopsticks first, everyone threw away their arms and started eating.

Shortly after,

Bangge suddenly ran out of the house and shouted with tears streaming down his face: "Mom, Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Clang!" a sound.

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng with wide eyes, and the bowl in her hand fell on the table.

Then, her eyes became a little blurry with a "swish", she stood up tremblingly, stumbled towards Banggong, and hugged Banggong forcefully into her arms.

In this way, the two mother and son hugged each other and cried together, as if they wanted to vent all the torture and grievances they had suffered during this period.

Everyone looked at this scene with expressions of surprise on their faces, and some even started to clap their hands and cheer.

Lin Tieniu took this opportunity and quietly pulled Qin Jingru out of the courtyard and walked towards Yiqu Garden.

On the street, naughty children ran around and lit firecrackers from time to time.

"Pah! Pah!"

The sound exploded, and the smell of gunpowder smoke came, arousing his memory of the year.

In his previous life, he had not felt such a strong flavor of the New Year for many years, and he never thought that he would be able to experience it personally in this world.

This feeling is really good!

"Brother Niu, I want to play too!"

Qin Jingru looked at the firecrackers in the hands of those naughty children and said eagerly.

"Okay! Let's go faster then. There are firecrackers over there at Yiqu Garden."

Lin Tieniu was also aroused when he heard this, he smiled and nodded.

"Um!"

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to pull Lin Tieniu and quickly walked away.
Chapter completed!
