The pretty daughter-in-law with a soft waist is busy raising a baby, and she is spoiled by the whole

Paste couplets and croquettes.

What Huo Xiao prepared was radish balls. Chop the radish, use salt to kill the water, and mince the fat and lean meat...

Lu Yuening felt Nian's aura and didn't want to be idle, so she stood next to Huo Xiao and helped him, peeling onions and garlic, or watching the fire in the stove.

Enough rapeseed oil was poured into the large iron pot, and Huo Xiao had already mixed the radish balls.

Lu Yuening was standing by, wanting to eat the first croquette.

Huo Xiao moved quickly and put a pot of meatballs into the pot. They slowly rolled in the pot and gradually turned brown, and the aroma came out instantly.

He glanced at the eager Lu Yuening beside him, and took out a spoonful of meatballs with a colander with a smile on his face, "Come on, you taste it first."

Lu Yuening's eyes lit up.

"Be careful of burning." Huo Xiao also took the time to say.

Lu Yuening hummed twice, without using chopsticks, he just took a bite of a ball without using chopsticks. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and crispy, delicious!

"Huo Xiao, your craftsmanship is so good." Lu Yuening praised sincerely.

Little did she know that after hearing her words, Huo Xiao wanted to cook for her by her side for the rest of his life.

And for the first time, I felt that my cooking skills were really good.

A big pot of fried radish meatballs can be left to eat slowly. Add a little when cooking hot pot and a few when cooking pea tip soup. It tastes delicious.

It was getting late, and Huo Xiao officially started cooking New Year's Eve dinner.

There were already bacon knuckles in the pot, which were soft and fall off the bones. The two of them bought a roast chicken on the day they bought new year's goods.

I bought another fish. Yesterday, Huo Xiao bought a duck that had been raised for more than a year for Aunt Tan's family. This New Year's Eve dinner included chicken, duck, and fish.

Even in the 1980s, few people ate like this during the Chinese New Year.

There are even fewer in the village.

There were only two of them, and Huo Xiao planned to cook eight dishes, each with smaller portions.

Soft and delicious pork belly with plums and vegetables, salty and soft radish braised pork trotters, sour radish duck soup, fish every year, fragrant roast chicken, radish balls and boiled pea tips, garlic cabbage hearts, another dish called It was fun, and beautiful plates were served with cut apples, white rabbit toffee, mung bean cake, and plum blossom cake.

Eight dishes, all delicious and delicious.

When they were all served to the table, the flavor of the New Year hit my face.

Huo Xiao also took two bottles of soda, "Let's have this."

He steamed two bowls of rice.

Dumplings will be eaten later during the vigil, so let’s eat first.

Lu Yuening took the soda and said, "Huo Xiao, happy New Year."

The woman's smile was as bright as a flower, and her big watery eyes were clear and transparent, like the rising sun in spring, which suddenly shone into the deepest part of Huo Xiao's heart.

"Ning Ning, Happy New Year."

Lu Yuening was already immune to the title Ning Ning.

The two soda bottles collided, making a crisp sound.

Happy New Year.

The village was full of laughter and laughter.

The naughty children on this day are even more naughty because they will not be beaten.

There is a saying in the village that if you beat your children during the New Year, they may be beaten all year round.

taboo.

Listening to the excitement of the neighbors again, the New Year's Eve dinner came to an end.

Huo Xiao burned the brazier in the house very brightly and opened the windows for ventilation. Lu Yuening was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and sitting next to the brazier to feel warm.

"New Year's money." Huo Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand in front of Lu Yuening.

In his broad palm lay a red envelope.

Lu Yuening was surprised, Lu Yuening was surprised, Lu Yuening looked at Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao took her hand and put the red envelope on it, "I wish you peace, health and all the best in the new year."

This is the most sincere blessing.

It was not the first time that Lu Yuening received New Year’s money, but that was when she was a child.

This was the first time she received New Year's money since she grew up.

The child was given to her by her father.

I just... don't know what to feel in my heart.

She blinked, "I wasn't prepared."

Huo Xiao laughed out loud, "I'm a grown man, what do you need as a gift to you?"

Lu Yuening said oh, put the red envelope into his pocket, and then asked a question that hit his soul.

"Huo Xiao, didn't you say that all the money you had except for the betrothal gift was used for my household expenses? How come you can keep buying things during this period? And you can even give me New Year's money?"

This is a good question.

Huo Xiao met her bright eyes and suddenly felt his soul was stunned.

he……

This question seems not that easy to answer.

"Here... I still have two hundred." A man has no money, what should he do when he goes to buy things at home? What should I do when buying something for my wife?

"Oh." Lu Yuening nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Huo Xiao, "?" He felt that it was not that simple.

Logically speaking, Lu Yuening should be happy because he didn't continue to ask, but on the contrary, he was unhappy.

The most complicated thing in the world is the relationship between a man and a woman, and Huo Xiao is actually gifted.

The atmosphere was a little quiet. Huo Xiao took out a black sandalwood box from his pocket and said, "Please accept these two pairs of bracelets. They are a meeting gift from grandpa and grandma."

When opening the package, Lu Yuening immediately refused to accept it.

No reward for no merit, these two pairs of bracelets are both valuable. Not to mention the top-quality imperial green, even the pair with gold wire and rubies embedded in them are not ordinary.

"You and I haven't officially decided yet..."

Huo Xiao's eyes were deep, "You are the mother of the child, and I am the father of the child. There is nothing wrong with you holding it."

What Huo Xiao means is that no matter what happens in the end, the two of them are the parents of the child.

Lu Yuening felt that this reason was far-fetched, "This meeting gift is for your significant other."

"Aren't you?" Huo Xiao asked.

Lu Yuening choked. She couldn't refute the special code.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Xiao smiled in his eyes.

He gave the box directly to Lu Yuening, "Put it away carefully. Don't let the things delivered to your door go to waste."

The corner of Lu Yuening's mouth twitched. This was the truth, but when it came out of Huo Xiao's mouth, something felt wrong.

After staying up until ten o'clock, Lu Yuening was yawning all the time.

But she didn't want to go to bed.

Then the two started making dumplings.

In the Huo family in Kyoto, Mr. Huo sighed, and the others were also unhappy.

In the past few years, it was fine for Huo Xiao to sneak away to join the army, but now he is back to recuperate and not spend the New Year at home. What does that mean? !

Mrs. Huo glared at Huo Dongqing, "It's all your fault. You are the reason why my son is not at home for the New Year."

Huo Dongqing looked confused, "I was wronged, I didn't do anything."

"You said he secretly joined the army!" Mrs. Huo snorted.

"I……"

"If you hadn't never encouraged him and only knew how to beat him, he would have no nostalgia for this family? Huo Dongqing, I was really blind when I married you." Mrs. Huo's eyes turned red as she spoke.

When Mr. Huo saw them quarreling, he frowned and said, "Okay, how can we be so noisy during the Chinese New Year?"

Mrs. Huo stopped talking, but glanced at Huo Dongqing again.

Huo Dongqing, "..."
