Chapter 546 New Year's Eve

Time flies like this, and it will be 29 in a blink of an eye. There is no thirty in the twelfth lunar month this year, and 29 is New Year's Eve.

A cold current hit, and the temperature in the city dropped sharply from the early morning.

But how...

Wenling City still failed to usher in the first snowfall in the Year of the Rabbit as in previous years!
Fortunately, the smell of the New Year in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and everyone's eyes are red when they go out.

Every household has red lanterns, red couplets, window grilles of various styles, even the elderly and children are all in red.

Huang Tao's family is no exception.

In the early morning, blessings are returned first, and tables are placed in front of the hall, tea and other fruit cakes are offered, and incense and candles are lit.

The couplets and door gods at home are also posted, and window grilles are also pasted on the glass windows. Two electronic red lanterns with a diameter of about half a meter are hung above the door, plugged in, and flashing and flashing in circles. It is very beautiful.

Coupled with the various New Year decorations inside and outside the house, the whole New Year is full of flavor!

of course.

A sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner is also indispensable in the evening.

For many people, let’s talk about how much they look forward to the New Year’s Eve dinner, right?
Really not much to look forward to!
Because the dishes that can be eaten at the New Year's Eve dinner are also eaten in normal times, and there are no dishes that are worth looking forward to.

It is the atmosphere where the whole family sits neatly around eating together, the sense of solid reunion, and the joy of sharing all the harvest of this year with the family, which is what everyone wants most .

Especially when eating a sumptuous and affectionate reunion dinner, and turning on the TV next to it, watching the Spring Festival Gala that I "dislike and complain about" every year but insist on watching every year, it is more complete.

If it is a relative who has been separated for a year, this feeling will be even stronger.

However, Huang Tao's family doesn't have much of this kind of emotion. After all, they can basically get together every weekend, and the family doesn't have to worry about money, so their attitude towards the New Year's Eve dinner is very ordinary.

Originally, he was still thinking about going to Sanya to celebrate the New Year with his parents and Xuanxuan this year.

What a wonderful thing it is to travel and celebrate the New Year!
But my parents are too traditional, and I think it is better to spend the Chinese New Year at home, plus there are various worship matters during the Chinese New Year...

So this idea was shelved.

Since I didn't go out now, I should prepare, and I had to prepare. It happened that my uncle and aunt's family were going to come to their house to spend this New Year's Eve together, so it was even more grand.

After all, all visitors are guests, and one or two must be treated well.

What kind of dishes are needed for this New Year's Eve dinner? My dad went to buy it early in the morning. In addition, my mother, aunt and aunt, three folk chefs with decades of cooking skills, and Huang Tao, a coward, in terms of cooking, No problem at all.

afternoon.

Huang Tao, his mother, aunt, and aunt started busy early for this New Year's Eve dinner.

And Huang Yide was eating fruit and chatting with Song Gaohua and the others in the living room!

Whenever the topic of children is talked about, Huang Yide becomes the envy of the two relatives.

Xuanxuan is also busy playing with Mimi and Wangcai.

With two "good friends" to accompany her, she didn't feel lonely at all.

just inattentive...

Wangcai and Mimi, the lovers of joy, are fighting again!

I saw Mimi raised her little paw, trying to scratch Wangcai.

Wangcai suddenly became vigilant and tense, and the two sides may break out of conflict at any time, and then fight again.

"Mimi!"

Fortunately, Xuanxuan had expected this situation a long time ago. She stroked Wangcai with one hand and pressed Mimi with the other, and said, "Don't bully Wangcai. Wangcai is a guest. You should let him go. Don't bully him. okay?"

Little Master Yin has changed his mind?

Mimi's sadness at this moment is like a river: "Meow meow~"

Seeing this, Xuanxuan immediately changed the button to stroking, stroking its cat's head, and persuasively said: "Mimi is good, don't bully Wangcai, and don't quarrel!"

"Wangcai, you are good too, you can be good friends..."

Under Xuanxuan's gentle and patient comfort, Mimi shrank its cat paws, and stopped trying to attack Wangcai, and Wangcai seemed to understand, and did not show any vigilant and covetous expressions towards Mimi. .

This scene……

Obviously exactly what Xuanxuan expected to see!
Seeing that the two little guys were finally able to try to get along peacefully, she couldn't help showing a gratified arc on her little face, squatting in front of her two good friends, and said softly: "That's right! That's right , from now on, the two of you will be good friends, come on, let's shake hands."

Xuanxuan reached out and picked up Mimi's little paw, and gently placed it on Wangcai's dog's paw.

Shake hands, we are good friends!
Wangcai looked up at Xuanxuan, then looked down at Mimi's cat's paw, put his nose up, sniffed carefully, and then...

No resistance!
He didn't take away his dog's paw either.

This is to give Xuanxuan a face...

"Meow~"

Mimi let out lazily, but she didn't feel any threat. The warm air from the air conditioner in the room was blowing warmly on her body, and her tiredness came to her unexpectedly, making her forget about Tongwang soon. Those grievances and enmities between Cai.

The lazy cat Mimi moved her body, curled up next to Wangcai and lay down, and closed her eyes comfortably.

hmm~
really sleepy~
Wangcai glanced at Mimi beside him speechlessly, looked around for a while, shook his tail, and immediately lay down beside Mimi, put his head on his front legs, and met Mimi. snuggle with each other.

Even in this heart, there is still such a bit of reluctance!
"So cute~"

Xuanxuan seemed to have completed a major event in her life. She stretched out her two little hands with curved eyebrows, touched the heads of Mimi and Wangcai each, and said, "This is what good friends look like! From now on you all Let’s always live in peace like this!”

After confirming that Wangcai and Mimi could get along peacefully, Xuanxuan stomped to the kitchen with her thin legs, came to Huang Tao's side, raised her face, and said proudly: "Baba, Under my persuasion, Wangcai and Mimi stopped arguing and became good friends!"

She is here to show off!
"That's great!"

Huang Tao bent down with a smile, gave her a sip on the cheek, and praised: "My Xuanxuan is awesome!"

"Let's go to the meeting again, and we can have dinner after the meeting."

"Mmmmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, and walked back on her tiny legs.

Seeing that Mimi and Wangcai are still sleeping.

She is so boring by herself!

Got it!

She brought brushes and drawing paper, pulled a small bench and sat down in front of the coffee table, and then seriously started drawing in front of Wangcai and Mimi.

Looking at this scene through the sliding glass door of the kitchen, Huang Tao felt warm and warm in his heart.

Really wish that time will stay in this moment forever!

If it weren't for the busy meeting, he would have taken out his phone to take a picture of this scene right away!

Been busy for a long time.

According to his mother's instructions, Huang Tao prepared eight dishes first.

Then start inviting the grandpa!

Put out eight kinds of dishes, as well as pastries, light incense and candles, toast and burn paper money, and ask the grandparents to take care of the family auspiciously, keep the family safe and worship the ancestors.

Members of the family, take turns to bow down!
It wasn't until sunset and the lights came on that Huang Tao finished all the remaining dishes.

This New Year's Eve dinner is naturally extremely rich!

For example, Huang Tao's squirrel mandarin fish, Dongpo pork, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, nine-turn large intestine, ginger sauce egg, meat and fish fragrant eel shreds, dry fried bell, and honey sauce fire recipe.

Originally, he planned to make roast duck, but the equipment at home was not complete, so the roast duck was not arranged, and he directly made it into Laoya pot.

And my mother also made steamed yellow croaker, home-cooked small pomfret, steamed cream crab, Pipi shrimp and other seafood.

As for the aunts and aunts, they basically work as helpers, and occasionally go to the stove to fry a few vegetables.

The table is full of dishes, and there is no way to finish it tonight. Huang Tao predicts that in the next two or three days, there will be leftovers.

Now the annual New Year's Eve dinner is basically like this.

On New Year's Eve, I prepared a large table of dishes vigorously, and then basically ate leftovers at home from the first to the third day of junior high school, and when the fourth day of junior high school, I started to visit relatives.

Commonly known as "New Year greetings".

In the past, I basically went to a relative's house for New Year's greetings and dinner.

If there are many relatives, it will not end until the first ten or so of the first lunar month!
After eating it every day, my mouth is numb and I'm tired of eating it!
But now the situation has improved slightly.

In the first month, pick a time, and then a lot of relatives will have a dinner together in the hotel and it will be over.

For example, the whole family of sisters and brothers on my father's side get together for a meal, and the whole family of brothers and sisters on my mother's side get together again, which means that the New Year's greetings are over.

This also makes the taste of the year less and less...

As everyone was seated, it also meant that the New Year's Eve dinner belonging to the Huang family had officially begun.

"Come!"

Huang Yide raised his glass and said, "Let's have a toast together!"

He was really happy, because on New Year's Eve this year, everyone gathered together for a New Year's Eve dinner.

And everyone is harmonious and beautiful, healthy and healthy, that is more important than anything else!

What's more, my son also ushered in good luck this year, opened a restaurant, and the business is thriving, allowing him to get out of the trough of life, which is better than anything else!
"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses, even the little girl Xuanxuan raised her own glasses and clinked glasses with everyone.

During the meal, everyone was not idle, and almost everyone had a call or video call.

Many relatives from the aunt's and uncle's house specially watched the Huang's New Year's Eve dinner dishes in the video.

then……

I admire...
