On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Huiwen, who went back to her parents' home after being told off by her husband, made phone calls from all over the place early in the morning to wish her New Year greetings.
"As usual, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will come over to pay New Year's greetings to my parents. If you want to find them, just come over. We have agreed not to take things in big and small packages. My house can hardly fit them, and my parents don't either.
What supplements do you like to take?”
"Oh, the ginseng from Changbai Mountain is good. It's just right for my dad to make wine."
"Of course my Xiaobin is coming. Didn't your daughter just come back from abroad?"
"Okay, okay, let them resolve their own affairs. My son Neixiu was transferred to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department years ago. Yes, he relied on his own talents. The person who came to propose marriage to him recently suddenly suddenly
It’s a lot more.”
Showing off to her good sisters, she looked at her watch.
Huh? Usually at this time, Cao Yunzhi and Xiao Yingying would come over to help with the cooking. Why is there no movement at all today?
"Mom, when will my eldest brother and sister-in-law come? It's almost ten o'clock, don't you want to eat ready-made meals?"
"I don't know. It's supposed to be time to come. You can call your elder brother and ask."
Lao Zheng's eldest brother is in the hands of his son.
"Hey? Pengfei, why don't you come over? I miss you so much."
"Sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you that we are not going to the old house for dinner today."
"Ah? Why don't you come? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Your father and mother are waiting at home. Why don't you come?"
"We went to Sister Jian's house for dinner, and she served us a big meal."
What?
Zheng Huiwen was so angry that her liver ached. Instead of paying New Year greetings to her parents, she went to a poor girl's house in the countryside. What kind of meal could a teenage child make?
"Are your parents crazy?" she yelled.
"Sister-in-law, I want to say something auspicious on New Year's Day. I won't tell you more. We will go back to the old house for dinner in the evening and hang up first."
Zheng Huiwen rushed out angrily, "Dad, Mom, my eldest brother and sister-in-law can't come here. Look at the good sons you have raised. I don't take you seriously at all."
Weitang Village, Su Family.
Su Jian was treating guests, and Wu Tiejun's family next door also arranged a table to entertain people from Weitang Village.
Wang Changgui was making arrangements, and he and his wife came over early in the morning. Except Er Lengzi's wife, everyone from Xu Dazhuang's family and Lin Laowu's family came.
"Xiao Jian, this girl is really capable. Just kidding, if she didn't study, she wouldn't starve to death with her cooking skills."
"Changgui, I remember your relatives own a restaurant. How does Xiao Jian's cooking skills compare with their chefs?"
"Of course I'm better than them. Age matters. I knew how to herd cattle when I was seventeen. If you ask me to cook, I can light up the kitchen."
Everyone was laughing and joking, and the topic turned to Wu Tiejun's stab wound.
"Xiao Jian prepared the tonic according to the book. Not to mention that I felt a lot better after just one dose. I used to sleep less and couldn't fall asleep at three or four o'clock in the morning. I was tossing and turning uncomfortably."
"Ever since I drank the medicine given by Xiao Jian, I slept until dawn, not to mention how comfortable I feel."
"Oh, I didn't sleep well either. I'll ask Jane to help me match it later."
Someone outside called for the food to be served, and Er Lengzi and Lin Laowu were seen carrying large trays with dishes that the villagers had never seen before, let alone eaten.
Two tables were set up in the Su family. Principal Ma, Director Guo, Sun Qiang, Zhu Ziming, Jiang Renjiu from No. 1 High School, Yu Shibei from No. 2 Middle School, and Teacher Lao Zhu all sat together at the same table.
The two brothers Lao Zheng and a large family, Liu Sheng, his parents, and Su Mingcheng's family gathered at the table.
"Come, let's raise a toast together. We are destined to meet each other. It's my honor, Old Zheng, to have dinner with you. I'm a big boss and can't speak. I've been drinking all the time. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."
