He Xiner acted coquettishly with Dabai half-heartedly, hugging his big fluffy head and not letting go, which made Wang laugh happily, "It's really a child~"
No matter how her mother laughed, He Xiner finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Dabai following her, her cousin accompanying her, and her mother chatting and laughing together, He Xiner regained her good mood.
"My darling, come and eat the braised pork. My sister specially left it for you. Eat it slowly. There will be dumplings later."
The braised pork cooked in a large wood-fired earthen stove has a rich aroma and is soft and melts instantly. Dabai likes it very much. He Xiner smiled as she watched her great ancestor eat it deliciously, feeling happier than eating it by herself.
He poured a bowl full of hot water for Dabai, "Wait until it gets colder before you drink it, remember? Darling."
In order to avoid accidentally calling Dabai Ancestor again, He Xiner would call it Dabaiguobei every time she talked to it, thus forcing herself to change her spoken language.
"Ah, what's in this big ocean bowl? I can smell the aroma through the plate covering it."
"Xin'er's new dish is called boiled pork slices."
Ye Xusheng steadily picked up the large ceramic basin containing pickled fish and explained to Wang with a smile.
"Mom, that dish is a little spicier."
"It's better if it's spicy. Your dad and the others like it, and mom can also take a few bites, haha."
After some joking, the three of them made two more trips before setting up the New Year's Eve dinner.
On the north wall of the main room hang two bamboo paintings, a family tree of the old Ye family, and a portrait of the God of Wealth. There is a small table at the foot of the wall with a few empty plates, and an incense burner with an incense burner.
The unique scent of incense sticks lingers throughout the house.
The whole family gathered in the main room, except for the unlucky Ye Laicai who was kneeling outside.
"Boss, Second Brother, bring over the plates. Let's start dinner at the Second Brother's house."
Lao Yetou made arrangements with a serious face.
Ye Laijin and Ye Laiyin took a few steps forward and took out the empty plates on the table. He Xiner looked at them with interest, full of curiosity, but she was not afraid now.
Because just now, the eldest cousin finally got the chance to talk to her quietly, saying that the 'ancestors' would not wander around even when they came back, but would just sit high on the family tree, waiting for their descendants to offer food and drink.
As a result, He Xiner felt at ease.
The roasted chicken and spicy rabbit were taken out of the oven, and the braised pork was just taken out of the big pot. The boiled meat slices and pickled fish were poured with hot oil and covered tightly with the lid of the pot, and they were also hot.
, several pot lids were opened, and various aromas were entangled and penetrated into everyone's nostrils.
In addition to these hard dishes, the rest are also good, including steamed eggs with minced meat, home-style tofu, chef cabbage, crispy yam pork, fried meatballs, a total of ten dishes.
Lao Ye's eyes lit up at once, and the corners of his mouth trembled with excitement, "Quick, quick, boss, second brother, put some of each dish in, let the ancestors have a taste."
"四."
"Don't worry dad, there are so many good dishes, I hope our ancestors will eat happily."
Ye Laijin agreed honestly, but Ye Laiyin did not forget to joke.
"Okay, okay, there are cabbage, tofu, chicken, meat, and fish. The second girl made this table, it's really complete."
Lao Ye's family has never seen such a New Year's Eve dinner. In the past many years, the only difference between the New Year's Eve dinner and the usual meals was how many black-faced dumplings one person could eat.
As a result, the whole family became excited. Even Mr. Qian completely forgot about Yao'er kneeling in the yard. His triangular eyes were fixed on the pot of oily braised pork, as if he was about to pounce on it at any time.
Like a hungry wolf, looking impatient.
Brother Ye Laijin picked up all the dishes with a few chopsticks, placed the plates with the dishes on the table, poured six more glasses of wine, put them away, and put six pairs of chopsticks on them. This chapter has been completed!
