"Mom, can I come in?"

Chen Shuyue was leaning on the sofa, lost in thought about her younger sister, when she heard Jiang Duoduo knocking on the door.

"Duoduo, come in!"

Chen Shuyue called softly towards the door.

"Mom, my fourth sister and I have finished pasting the blessing characters on the doors and windows outside. Only your door and bay window are left without them."

Jiang Duoduo walked into Chen Shuyue's room holding two big "Fu" characters in her hands.

"Where's your fourth sister? Don't let her get too tired!"

Chen Shuyue stood up from the sofa, took the word "Fu" from Jiang Duoduo's hand and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll let Fourth Sister go back to her room to rest."

Jiang Duoduo stood on the bay window in the room, tore off the adhesive backing of the word "Fu", held it up with both hands and gestured in front of the window for a long time before slowly sticking it on.

"Duoduo, Mom is very happy today. Because you and your fourth sister are by my side, we can finally have a reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year this year."

Chen Shuyue held another "Fu" character in her hand, gestured slightly, and then pasted it on the door of her room.

"Mom, we must be happy from now on!"

Jiang Duoduo came down from the bay window, walked to Chen Shuyue and put her arms around her. Her big eyes were sparkling, which made people happy.

"Good... be happy!"

Chen Shuyue narrowed her eyes and a faint smile appeared on her face.

……

Daxi Village, home of Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.

Without Chen Shuyue's free labor, the family lunch was barely served until after one o'clock.

Everyone learned that Chen Shuyue and Jiang Duoduo did not return to Daxi Village for the New Year. Except for the previous phone call with impure motives made by Shi Fengying, no other member of the Jiang family contacted them.

It was as if these two people did not exist in the Jiang family.

Anyway, in previous years, the mother and daughter would just come over to cook, so it would be better if they were not here this year. The third son Jiang Shubao could bring the pregnant Hui Xin over earlier to spend the New Year with the Jiang family elders.

Two square tables were set up early in the Jiang family compound, one for playing mahjong and the other for playing cards.

Grandpa Jiang and his three older sons were sitting at a table, playing mahjong. Grandma Jiang sat next to him, a handful of sunflower seeds in her hand, throwing the shells on the floor as she watched.

Hui Xin sat next to Jiang Shubao with her not-so-big five-month pregnant belly, eating melon seeds while watching the brothers play mahjong.

Everyone said she was pregnant with a son, and Grandma Jiang almost held her in the palm of her hand like a treasure.

Grandma Jiang said that no one can work today without Huixin.

Hui Xin naturally sat there like a winner, watching the men play mahjong leisurely.

The people playing cards at the other table were all young people. Jiang Duoduo's cousins ​​were gathered together playing Landlord.

There are peanuts, melon seeds and spicy strips on the table here, and like in the early years, there must be change like five and ten yuan on the card table.

Nowadays, everyone uses mobile phones to pay, and playing cards has also kept up with the times!

My eldest cousin's wife took her eight-year-old son to the village store to buy toys. He was the only child at home and would make a fuss if no one played with him.

"Mom, you called me over so early in the morning just to get me to work! I just got a manicure on my hands. If the diamond falls, who will I turn to? Where are Third Aunt and Jiang Duoduo? Aren't they the ones who cook in previous years?"

"Isn't your future Third Aunt right here in the yard, pregnant, watching the men play mahjong and bask in the sun? Your old Third Aunt has gone into hiding in J City and won't be back! Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Shuyue is so naive, thinking that this way the Third Brother won't be able to divorce her."

"Ah? After all these years, Third Aunt is still hoping that Third Uncle will change his mind? She's too foolish! The baby is about to be born. Third Uncle never came home before, and now that he's about to have a son, there's no way he'll reconcile with Third Aunt!"

"Speak softly, what's this about mistress or not? If your grandma hears you, she'll scold you!"

In the somewhat gloomy kitchen where the sun doesn't reach, Jiang Duoduo's aunt and her cousin who is getting married in the first month of the lunar year are setting dishes at the table next to the stove while chirping at others.

Second aunt Shi Fengying, who was busy at the stove, rolled her eyes at the mother and daughter from time to time.

Shi Fengying was busy preparing the 10 hot dishes for lunch, from washing and cutting vegetables to steaming, boiling and frying.

She got up early in the morning to work here.

The mother and daughter actually slept until after ten o'clock!

You're here but you don't work properly. You take a long time to cut the food and put it on the plate.

Shi Fengying was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang's house.

Now she finally understood how difficult it was for Chen Shuyue.

How did Chen Shuyue do it? She prepared meals for such a large family all by herself.

During this period, Grandma Jiang came to urge them several times, saying that pregnant women should not be hungry, and why were they so slow to cook?

Later, around one o'clock, all the hot and cold dishes were finally served on the table.

The whole family gathered around the big round table and started eating, drinking and chatting.

"Pah... Is this chicken soup so salty it's going to kill you? What's wrong with you, second son's wife? Your husband is a chef, and you don't even know how to make chicken soup?"

Mr. Jiang had been hungry for most of the day, and when he finally had a sip of warm soup, it turned out to be so salty that he was so angry that he spat the chicken soup in his mouth onto the ground.

"Dad...is it really that salty?"

The second son, Jiang Jiabang, immediately poured himself a small bowl of chicken soup and tasted it.

"Pooh……"

It was indeed very salty, and he spat it out.

Originally, Jiang Jiabang wanted to say something to his wife, but now even he can't drink this chicken soup.

"Fengying, why don't you take this chicken soup to the kitchen and add some water to boil it again? Dad likes to drink chicken soup."

Shi Fengying was tired after a whole morning. She had just sat down and hadn't even caught her breath when her husband ordered her to work again. She was so angry that she wanted to lose her temper on the spot.

At home, Shi Fengying usually only makes home-cooked dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes, and Chinese cabbage.

Major dishes like stewed chicken, steamed fish, and fried crabs are basically made by Jiang Jiabang, who works as a chef in a restaurant.

Originally, Shi Fengying wanted her husband Jiang Jiabang to come over and cook in the morning, so she would help out. However, she was scolded by Jiang's grandmother.

The second son is said to be cooking for others outside all year round. Why is he still asked to cook during the Chinese New Year? Is she, the daughter-in-law, just a decoration?

Thinking of Grandma Jiang's sharp eyes, Shi Fengying shuddered all over. She didn't dare to get angry anymore and quickly took the chicken soup to the kitchen, added water and boiled it again.

"Dad, try this boiled chicken. Jingya and I made it. It's definitely not salty."

Aunt Ji Ermei, with a smile on her face, quickly moved the plate of poached chicken in front of her to that in front of Grandpa Jiang.

Everyone knows that Grandpa Jiang likes to eat chicken, but Auntie is a good person.

The poached chicken she bought was already cooked in the store, so she just had to cut it and arrange it on a plate.

The ones bought from the store naturally taste better. After eating a few pieces, Mr. Jiang praised them highly.

"Bullshit, let her buy it next time! So I got up early in the morning to work, and now I'm nothing!"

The second aunt was so angry that she almost threw the spatula in the kitchen. While she hated the first aunt, she also hated Chen Shuyue.

If she hadn't come, would I have been able to endure this today?

"Humph! It's right that the Third Brother doesn't want her!"
