Chapter 517 New Year's Eve (Second Update)
The family was finally settled. They were curious about the bright, warm and clean house. They also had a better understanding of Jingshu's financial resources. It was not good to be too dirty in such a clean house. So the eldest aunt asked Wei Chang to get a few pots of boiling water. The family had to clean up well.
Jingshu was also happy.
But the second uncle said with a sly look: "Jingshu, we are settled. When will we go to the villa to visit Jing Zhaoniang? We haven't seen each other for a long time. The two elders must miss me."
Jingshu chuckled, "I don't know if they miss you, but when the eldest uncle went there just now, grandpa and grandma were very happy. They said that they brought half a pig from such a long distance. They also said that they knew that grandpa liked to eat pig ears with wine, so they specially left some pig ears. It was so filial. Second uncle, grandpa and grandma also value you very much. I wonder what you brought to honor the old couple. ? "
Second aunt hesitantly said, "If my tobacco and liquor store hadn't been closed before, I would have brought a few bottles of good wine."
"Tsk tsk, why didn't you bring some good wine for the New Year before the end of the world? Every year, I only get two yuan and a half of Shaodaozi, and grandpa and grandma have to give a thousand yuan just for the New Year's money."
Second aunt buried her head. She always felt that her mother favored boys over girls and she was treated unfairly at home, so she didn't say anything about Li Zhu's family all these years. But when the end of the world really came, she could always rely on her mother's family, and her husband's family was not reliable at all!
But the mistake had been made, she successfully separated from her mother's family, and she could never go back to the beginning, she knew.
The plan had been planned long ago. This year, she would spend the New Year at her grandparents' house, so she would naturally not go to the villa, and would not even enter the door. Li Dazhu, who was thinking of making a plan, was completely dumbfounded.
Jingye was busy with his own business, so he came with his own Spring Festival couplets, Chinese knots, door gods and other New Year's things with a smile.
In the past, there were rules for which day to do the general cleaning, which day to post Spring Festival couplets, and which day to braise meat. Now, it is not so strict anymore. They all do it together, and Jing's family gradually becomes lively.
In the afternoon, Jing's mother and father came back from get off work. Wu Youai came back with drooping eyelids and sighed, "Maybe it will be a vacation for a while. The tutor went home for the New Year."
That was a little regrettable.
"It's just right that you can take a rest."
After the third aunt was busy in the canteen and at home, she put melon seeds, dried fruits and nougat on the table and went to the kitchen of the villa to help. Everyone praised the nougat for being delicious. After asking, they found out that Jingshu had made it these two days. The second uncle secretly wanted to take a few, but was warned by the second aunt: "You can eat it, but if you dare to take one away, you can go back."
"Stingy." Li Dazhu was entangled for a while. He didn't want to bring it, but if he didn't bring anything, he would be drowned by his mother's spit.
"Since we're having dinner here tonight, there will always be some leftovers, right? I'll just take them over." Li Zhu was still thinking about it.
Jingshu, Jingnai, and the third aunt were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the villa. Oh, Jingnai and the third aunt were the ones who were really busy. Jingshu was eating while she was cooking. When she finished cooking a pot, half of it went into her stomach.
The glutinous rice and lotus root that had been cooked for an afternoon, even the soup was almost drunk by Jingshu. If the third aunt hadn't said that it wasn't enough for cooking, Jingshu wouldn't have stopped.
"Burp~"
Jingshu burped comfortably. It was really not easy. She hadn't known what it felt like to be full for a long time.
"Grandma, there are too many people this year and one table can't accommodate them. There's no room for two tables. Let's just eat separately."
Jingnai hesitated and said, "It's not a good idea. How can we eat separately during the New Year."
You can't say that or that.
Jing Shu coughed, her eyes lit up: "Grandma, you don't know how exaggerated the second uncle is. He wants to take more of everything he sees and hide it back for his whole family to eat." Grandma Jing knew about the second uncle of course.
"Okay, then separate the food. I want to see if this beast dares to steal the rice from other people's bowls."
There are indeed many people tonight, not only from Jing's father's side, but also from Jing's mother's uncle's family.
When everyone squeezed into the grandparents' house of more than 100 square meters, there was no room for two tables. Fortunately, the food was divided in advance and put into bucket lunch boxes. Jing Shu carried it in the incubator. After taking it a few times, everyone had a small bucket.
The small bucket was opened, and the aroma was fragrant. First, it was full of meat, including bacon, ribs, meatballs, chicken, mutton, etc., and then some dry goods fried vegetables. At the bottom was a ball of rice balls, sprinkled with sesame seeds. Although there were fewer fresh vegetables, for a group of families whose living standards were considered top-notch to be able to eat rice, this was definitely the highest standard.
This was the most lively New Year that Jingshu had lived since her rebirth.
In the bedroom, the children were shouting excitedly, and outside the house, people were on the sofa, chairs, balcony, and kitchen.
The TV was also playing the Spring Festival Gala, which was a summary meeting and words of encouragement to the people.
No one couldn't finish a bucket of rice. The old Jing family had a large appetite after drinking Lingquan. The eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the uncle's family rarely had such good food, and it was even less likely to waste it, so the buckets after eating were very clean.
The third aunt poured everyone a rich rose milk tea, which was filled with small meatballs made of pumpkin, sweet potato, etc., which were particularly chewy.
This meal was so delicious that even the second uncle, who wanted to take more and grab more food, didn't do it. He even wanted to leave half of it, but he ate it all without realizing it.
"Put a mark on everyone's bowls. We'll use this bowl these days. We'll use this bowl when we go back, until it breaks." said the aunt.
Jingshu, who was just afraid of trouble, said:. Is it so exaggerated?
It's impossible to get up and exercise to digest food after dinner. Now everyone wants to gain weight, so several families just sit on the sofa and try not to move. But Jing's father got up and cleaned up the mess consciously.
The second uncle thought for a long time before saying, "After the Chinese New Year, Li Yun will be almost 30. Time flies."
"Yes, it flies."
"I want to find a job for Li Yun in the city, a temporary job is fine."
Jingye took out his pipe and said, "Let's get it."
The second uncle: "..."
After holding it in for a long time, the second uncle said, "We have prepared some food, but I don't know who to find. Father-in-law, do you have any connections?"
Jingye shook his head, "No, we found these kids by ourselves, and we don't know."
"Then can you help me?"
Jingye nodded at Jingshu, "Granddaughter, tell your second uncle and cousin the rules."
I can't chat anymore because I have to go out and be busy again. I'm in a bad mood recently. Nothing goes well. My father's things are not going well either. I want to ask everyone, how can I feel better?
