Zhao Qinglan plans to make one of these two fish at thirty and another on New Year's Day.
But today’s meal is still quite sumptuous.
Li Huai didn't come back for lunch.
But these days, the food in the military canteen is richer than before.
After a rare break, after finishing the meal and cleaning up, Zhao Qinglan took out the radio and put some melon seeds and peanuts in it.
The family sat together, listened to the radio, ate and chatted.
For some reason, Zhao Qinglan always felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, she felt something about it when she bought the fish.
"Mom, listen first, I'll go in and lie down for a while."
"You must be tired. I told you not to worry about it. Let's go and have a rest." Mrs. Sun said helplessly.
Zhao Qinglan fell asleep not long after entering.
She slept directly until lunch.
When she got up, her mother and two sisters had prepared the meal.
There is everything at home, and Mrs. Sun and the others can prepare a table of good meals with just a little effort.
When Li Huai came back, he was a little worried when he learned that Zhao Qinglan had slept all afternoon.
"How about we go find a doctor?"
"No need, I feel much better after a good sleep. I'm here for the Chinese New Year, so I won't bother."
Seeing that she looked really good, Li Huai didn't say anything.
After being willing to add oil and seasonings, the food cooked by Mrs. Sun and others actually tastes the same.
After the family finished eating, Mrs. Sun and her two daughters enjoyed the bathing room of Zhao Qinglan's house.
Fortunately, they set up a bed outside. This time, no matter what, Ms. Sun did not want to occupy her daughter and son-in-law's bedroom.
In the end, it became Sun's bed where Xiaoduo slept.
Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju took Xiaoduo to sleep in and out of bed together.
The eldest baby and the second baby slept on the new bed set up in the living room.
Until the grandma and aunts came to stay for a few days, there was nothing objectionable about the eldest son and the second son giving up their own bunk beds.
On the contrary, I was slightly excited because I had changed a place to sleep.
Maybe he slept too much in the afternoon, but when he lay down this night, Zhao Qinglan couldn't sleep for a while.
She didn't sleep, and Li Huai didn't sleep either, so the two started talking.
"I also sent some of the things I bought back to Sister Sui and Brother Patriot."
"Yes, they have helped us a lot." Li Huai agreed.
"You'd better give Grandpa Dou a call tomorrow and say New Year's greetings and ask."
"Um."
…
The two of them just chatted and talked until Zhao Qinglan heard the sound of even breathing.
Seeing that she was asleep, Li Huai came over and kissed her gently on the corner of the mouth, and then fell asleep with a smile on her face.
You don’t want to sleep in late on New Year’s Eve.
As soon as Li Huai left, Zhao Qinglan and her mother started making dough and preparing to make dumplings.
I plan to make two kinds of dumplings, one with pork and green onions, and one with leeks and eggs.
This handful of leeks is quite rare. Zhao Qingzhu and the others brought them here yesterday. They are worth as much as pork.
But in the middle of winter, looking at the fresh and tender leeks, Zhao Qinglan felt happy.
The noodles were cooked quickly.
The four mothers and daughters, who rolled out the dough and made the dumplings, divided the work and worked together very efficiently. The curtain was soon covered with white and fat dumplings.
Xiaoduo and the others also want to join in.
They don't know how to do it, so if they join, wouldn't it be troublesome?
However, Zhao Qinglan still gave each of the three children a small ball of dough and let them play with it as they pleased.
If they are well kneaded, you can also steam them.
As soon as they heard this, the three children became excited and started working hard.
Work goes faster when there are more people, but they also have a lot of mouths to eat.
Finally, it was completed after covering five curtains.
Naturally, dumplings will be the lunch, and Li Huai also came back at noon.
He was lucky, he didn't have to be on duty this night when he was thirty, but the regiment also held a New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, where the soldiers would gather together to eat and perform some performances.
Thinking of home, Li Huai planned to have New Year's Eve dinner at home before going there.
Dumplings dipped in vinegar are delicious.
Zhao Qinglan also tinkered with some minced garlic.
Whether it's pork, green onions, or leeks and eggs, they all taste delicious.
While eating, Xiaoduo suddenly covered her mouth and spit out something.
Everyone started laughing when they saw the coin in her hand.
"It seems that the luckiest person in our family in the New Year is Xiaoduo." Mrs. Sun laughed.
This coin won't work if you wrap it too much, so their family only wrapped one. This can be regarded as a custom. It is said that whoever eats the coin will have good luck in the coming year.
Zhao Qinglan naturally hopes that her daughter will go well and be safe.
In the previous life, Xiaoduo was lost the next year.
In this life, with her biological mother always protecting them and keeping them away from the Wang family, Xiaoduo will definitely not be lost again.
This is probably Xiaoduo's greatest good luck.
Since his rebirth, Zhao Qinglan sometimes believes in those mysterious and mysterious things.
Now that Li Huai is back, he doesn't have to go to work anymore.
After everyone took a nap, they started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
Zhao Qinglan already had a menu in mind.
Thinking that she was not feeling well yesterday, neither Sun nor Li Huai wanted her to work too hard.
However, Zhao Qinglan is today's chef, so Sun and the others can only take away all the jobs that help her.
When the prepared fish was handed over to be cooked, Zhao Qinglan felt a little uncomfortable again and felt very strange.
But she didn't say anything because she was afraid that her mother and husband would be worried.
As the aroma continued to waft out, one dish after another was served on the table.
This is also the most sumptuous meal their family has eaten this year.
The big table that had been borrowed a long time ago was filled with more than a dozen plates.
Before, Sun and the others wouldn't have dared to think about it.
During the Chinese New Year, if you can eat white flour dumplings and see meaty meat, this year is considered to be a good one.
But they didn't expect that after leaving the Zhao family, their lives would get better and better.
It is impossible to say that there is no emotion.
By the time all the food was ready, it was getting dark outside.
In addition to dishes, there are also wine and soda drinks on the table.
The wine is for Li Huai, and the soda is for the lesbians and the children.
When the family picked up the cups, Zhao Qinglan smiled and started.
"Happy New Year!"
This blessing was so fresh that everyone clinked glasses together.
"Happy New Year!"
For many families, it is a great happiness for the whole family to be able to get together and celebrate the New Year in peace.
At this moment, similar scenes are still happening in thousands of households.
However, there is joy and sorrow.
Wang Dahua and her nephew finally rushed home on New Year's Eve.
But with their family like this, the old one is sick, the younger one is missing, and the younger one is in a labor camp, so there is no need to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve.
The Zhao family is also not happy.
Originally, Zhao Lao Er and Lao San were released before the Chinese New Year, and their family was considered complete.
It is a pity that the internal conflicts in the Zhao family were ignited when they forced Boss Zhao to divorce, and continued to ferment due to many subsequent incidents.
Starting from the early morning of the 30th, the Zhao family kept quarreling until the evening when Mr. Zhao got violent and overturned the table, and the Zhao family's New Year's Eve dinner ended in nothing.
