Jiang Jiayi looked at Zhou Ping in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Zhou Ping would give her such a promise. Could this be an unintentional sentence?
The two walked on the mountain for a while and returned with a few Ganoderma lucidum and some wild vegetables. Song Xi looked at Jiang Jiayi with some curiosity. Jiang Jiayi shook her head at Song Xi, meaning she didn't say anything.
Song Xi nodded understandingly.
Zhou Ping, Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jiahe and Qian Fangxia. Qian Luxia needed to go home to their old house to have New Year's Eve dinner with their family, so they stayed at Zhou Yi's house for a while and then went back. It wasn't until around 7 p.m. that a group of people came over.
.
Song Xi, Zhou Yi, Zhou Zhongguo, Jiang Jiayi, Zhou Ping, Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jiahe and Qian Xuefen, mother and daughter, will have ten people together for this year's New Year's Eve dinner.
There is a small hot pot pot in the middle of the large square dining table, with a double-eared pot on it, and the hot pot base ingredients have been boiled in it.
The ingredients and side dishes for the hot pot are placed on the mud brick table, and people sitting in that direction can reach it with their hands.
Also on the table are pork belly stewed with slices of winter bamboo shoots, stir-fried bacon with garlic heads, braised pig trotters, braised fat intestines, stir-fried pork liver, braised lamb bones, lamb bone soup, scrambled eggs with chives, fried fungus, boiled shrimps, braised crabs, and sauerkraut.
Fish, spicy frog, red pepper snake meat, crispy fried cicada monkey, and a dish of braised carp. The braised carp is not eaten for New Year’s Eve dinner, but it has a beautiful meaning!
Spicy frog, red pepper snake meat, and crispy fried cicada monkey. These three dishes were made when Song Xi was doing this business before. Song Xi specially left a few plates to prepare for the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, where would they go in the winter?
What about catching frogs, snakes and cicada monkeys?
Song Xi doesn't eat snakes, so she sits far away from the red pepper snake meat.
There are also taro and sweet potato balls, potato balls, sweet potato balls and radish balls.
Since vegetables are all used in hot pot, Song Xi didn't stir-fry vegetables specially.
"This... this is too much!" Qian Xuefen said with emotion as he looked at a table of dishes.
The New Year's Eve dinner she had just had at her parents' house had only three meat dishes and the rest were all vegetarian. Although it was pretty good, it couldn't be compared to the ones here.
"They are all free things. Shrimps, fish, crabs, frogs, snakes... these are all things you can catch yourself. Potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are available in every household, are even less valuable.
Pork belly and mutton cost money, I came across them when I was going to the market, they don't even need a ticket." Song Xi explained that she couldn't let others think that her family had a lot of money.
As for the drink at the New Year's Eve dinner, it was naturally the honey grapefruit tea that Song Xi made herself.
If there were so many people drinking, the wine she brewed would probably be drank up directly. She is not that generous, so forget about the wine and use tea instead of wine.
Everyone was eating and drinking at the same time, and the atmosphere couldn't be more pleasant.
Qian Xuefen's eyes turned slightly red as she looked at the bustling dinner table. Fortunately, she was back from divorce, otherwise she would never be able to have such a New Year's Eve dinner in her lifetime, and her daughter would not be able to have such a New Year's Eve dinner either.
If her two daughters were raised by her ex-in-laws, they would not even have the chance to study. When they get older, they will definitely be exchanged for bride price. How is it possible to live a good life?
Qian Xuefen is very glad that she is back. Although she cannot have a lot of money every day, she can support her two daughters with her own labor every day. No one is wasting her time or exploiting her. She feels that this kind of life is very good.
The New Year's Eve dinner lasted for two hours, from about seven o'clock to about nine o'clock. After getting off the table, everyone consciously helped clear the dishes and clean the main room. By the time everything was finished, it was already ten o'clock.
"Sister Xuefen, you take Fang Xia and Lu Xia back first. Song Xi and I will chat for a while and then go over to find you." Seeing Qian Xuefen taking her two daughters home, Jiang Jiayi hurried over and said to her.
"Okay, then be careful when you pass by later and don't fall." Qian Xuefen nodded, took his two daughters, said goodbye to Song Xizhouyi, and left.
Zhou Zhongguo also gave Song Xi a red envelope when he left, which made Song Xi a little flattered. Why should I say that the original owner had never received a red envelope from her family when she was so old, and in modern times, because her parents divorced, she did not receive any red envelopes.
I received another red envelope from my father.
Zhou Ping and the three of them also went back together.
Jiang Jiayi followed Qian Xuefen and her daughter out when they returned and stood outside. After Zhou Ping and the others came out of Song Xi's yard, she followed them quietly from a distance until she saw Zhou Ping entering.
When Zhou Ping was about to close the door, he slithered in like a loach.
There was moonlight and white snow, so Zhou Ping naturally recognized that the person next to him was Jiang Jiayi. He was a little surprised, "Comrade Jiang, why are you here?"
"Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?" Jiang Jiayi looked at Zhou Ping expectantly with bright eyes.
Zhou Ping looked at Jiang Jiayi and felt that her eyes were more beautiful than the stars. After being absent-minded for a while, he came back to his senses. He quickly closed the courtyard door and called Jiang Jiayi into the room. After lighting the kerosene lamp, he made a bowl of sugar water for Jiang Jiayi.
.
After drinking the sugar water, Jiang Jiayi felt sweet in her heart. When she saw that Zhou Ping's house was quiet, she couldn't help but asked curiously, "Are your family members asleep? Will my coming to your house disturb your family?"
"I separated from my family and lived alone." Zhou Ping's tone was a little low, and he felt a little disappointed.
Which boy is not a treasure, but he turns out to be like a oak tree? Maybe it is because there are many boys in his family, so he is not favored!
Jiang Jiayi's eyes lit up. It's better to live alone. This way you can avoid conflicts!
It's nothing like her house. There are more than a dozen people living in a small courtyard, and they are very annoying.
Everyone insists on saying, "Parents are here and we don't separate families." As a result, there are undercurrents behind the scenes and conflicts continue.
It is as if the grandparents are invisible, they must hold the money in their hands, and they must let the children consume all their feelings and become enemies.
"Then...Zhou Ping, did you say we were kissed?" Jiang Jiayi cautiously inquired.
Although she fell in love with Zhou Ping, she had to make sure he had not promised to marry her first. If so, she would give up.
After all, destroying other people's feelings is a shameful act, just like the vixen who robbed her ex-fiancé is a virtuous person. She herself has been hurt in this way, and she will not hurt other lesbians in this way.
"No, my parents don't like me very much and don't worry about these things for me, and I don't know any lesbians, so I've been putting it off until this age."
He didn't have good parents, nor was he as lucky as Zhou Yi, and no matchmaker came to ask him if he wanted a wife.
However, he did not reveal that he was rich, otherwise more lesbians would definitely come to him. He understood that the lesbians who only focused on money would run faster than a rabbit after he ran out of money. What he wanted was to be able to
