The officer had been secretly in love with her for ten years and couldn't help but snatch her a

Xu Weilan sneered, "They are all crazy! They have to torture each other in this way. This is the stupidest way!"

Xu Qian agreed, "Indeed, she had other ways to get rid of the Zhao family, but she chose the most tragic one.

"Oh, now I'm being pointed at and scolded, and I can't even stand up in the alley."

Xu Weilan listened to Xu Qian's words, thought about the whole thing, and suddenly thought of something.

strange!

Weird!

How could someone like Ding Mei allow another woman to hook up with her man? And Ding Mei should know Ding Na very well, how could she invite someone directly to her home?

It was as if Sister Zhang knew the personality of this wild man and deliberately brought him home, deliberately letting the wild man ruin his stepdaughter!

Yep!

Ding Mei must have deliberately called Ding Na here and let her hook up with Xu Tianming. She knows Xu Tianming and Ding Na, and she did it on purpose!

He deliberately let Xu Tianming get infected with other diseases and deliberately wanted to kill him!

No wonder Xu Tianming kept blaming Ding Mei for harming him even when he was terminally ill!

Thinking of this, Xu Weilan shuddered!

What does Ding Mei mean? Is she seeking revenge against Xu Tianming?

But Xu Tianming was just pestering her, was there such a deep hatred and resentment?

Xu Weilan thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out Ding Mei's reason for doing this. It takes two to tango. She was obviously willing to fool around with Xu Tianming.

Then what reason does she have to harm Xu Tianming like this?

Xu Weilan fell into deep thought.

She didn't hear what Xu Qian and Gu Ya said.

Xu Qian asked curiously, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Weilan looked up at Gu Ya and Xu Qian and expressed her thoughts.

After hearing this, Xu Qian suddenly stood up and said, "It's very strange. I feel like she's coming for our house."

Xu Weilan reacted instantly, "Grandma? Ding Mei wants to harm you? But what hatred do you have with them? What grudge do you have? If something happens to you, we...will be the most sad!"

Xu Weilan looked at Xu Qian and thought of someone who hated both her and Xu Qian.

That's Qi Lu!

Xu Qian and Xu Weilan's eyes met, and they both thought of that person at the same time.

Gu Ya was confused. "Little sister, Qian sister, are you overthinking it? Is it possible that Ding Mei dislikes her father-in-law, so..."

She herself felt that the logic did not make sense.

Xu Weilan slowly clenched her fists, "Qianmei, if you have nothing to do these two days, follow Ding Mei and see if she has any strange behavior.

Sister-in-law, you've been staying by my side for the past two days, and I feel like this has something to do with me."

Gu Ya nodded, "Don't worry, I'll stay with you during the New Year. Wherever you go, I'll go too."

She doesn't have any relatives in the Gu family.

She also followed the Xu family's relatives.

Today is New Year's Eve, so everyone stopped talking about unhappy things and just chatted about other people's gossip.

Every family has its own problems.

Sister Zhang did it on purpose because she didn't want everyone to have a good New Year.

Zhao Dani's boyfriend is really unlucky to have a relative like Sister Zhang.

In fact, it can be considered that Sister Zhang was the one who helped Zhao Dani.

Zhao Dani was corrupted by her father since she was a child. She is a girl with distorted values. Even if she gets married, she will definitely not live in peace and will cause a lot of trouble.

If Zhao Dani’s true identity had been discovered earlier, wouldn’t this marriage have failed? That would have been a good thing.

Time passed quickly while we were chatting.

Aunt Wang, Third Aunt, Eldest Aunt, and Second Aunt quickly prepared two tables of dishes.

There is one table for gay men and one table for lesbians.

It's full, with a variety of dishes.

Hard dishes, black chicken soup, stewed fish, roast duck, sweet and sour pork, braised mixed vegetables.

Then there are some side dishes, which are very delicious.

It’s all the taste of memory.

Every New Year’s Eve.

Whenever my eldest and second aunts come back, they will cook.

Thanks to Aunt San’s cooking skills, the New Year’s Eve dinner is also the meal that the children look forward to most.

After dinner.

Old Mrs. Xu started giving out red envelopes.

Old Mrs. Xu does this every year. No matter whether they are a grandmother or a father, married or not, as long as they are her juniors, she gives red envelopes to them one by one.

The first one to get it this year was the eldest aunt, followed by the second aunt, the third uncle and the third aunt, and finally it was Xu Weilan's generation.

Their generation has made all the money, and it is now Xiao Mancang and Xiao Zeze's generation.

The old lady’s great-grandson, the old lady is the most generous.

Xiao Mancang was drooling with excitement. He looked at Zhu Ying with a pleading expression and said, "Mom, can I keep this year's red envelope myself?"

Zhu Ying shook her head.

Xiao Mancang looked at Xu Weilan aggrievedly, "Aunt! You have to make the decision for me. Mom is a wealthy landlord in feudal society.

She took all the red envelopes my great-grandmother and grandparents gave me, not giving me a cent!"

The kid was very sad.

Xu Weilan pulled Xiao Mancang to sit next to her and explained, "Mom didn't withhold money from you. All this money has been turned into delicious food, beautiful clothes, and fun toys to keep you company.

It may seem like the money went into your mother's pocket, but in fact, it was all used on you, and your mother even paid some of it back."

Xiao Mancang frowned, "Is that so?"

"Of course, Xiao Mancang, do you know how much the clothes you're wearing cost? You can roughly calculate. Grandma gave six dollars, and grandpa and grandma gave five dollars, a total of eleven dollars, right?"

In Xiao Mancang's eyes, Xu Weilan is the best and will not lie to anyone. He himself cannot figure it out, but he nods and says yes, yes, whatever Xu Weilan says!

Xu Weilan had no intention of deceiving the child; this was all because of his trust in her.

"Xiao Mancang's new clothes cost eight dollars, and his shoes cost six dollars. Your mother knitted Xiao Mancang's hat, and it took her ten days to knit it. We have to pay for the wool, right? Mom knits hats every day, so she has to pay for it, right?"

Xiao Mancang covered his face with his hands, "Ah! Mommy works so hard, Mommy has lost so much money, Mommy is losing so much."

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up.

Lanmei is really good at speaking!

This completely convinced Xiao Mancang!

Not only did Xiao Mancang stop clamoring to manage the money himself, he also hugged Zhu Ying's legs and said a lot of nice things, which made Zhu Ying very happy.

It is good to have more knowledge, and educated people think quickly.

The elders gave out red envelopes.

Xu Weilan and Qin Yan also took out the red envelopes they had prepared.

It’s for Xiao Mancang, she packed 12 pieces.

There are also some for Xiao Zeze, she also packed 12 pieces.

They are all my nephews, there is no reason to favor one over the other.

In addition to red envelopes, there are also some candies and snacks.

There must be a reason why Xiao Mancang likes Xu Weilan the most.

Had lunch.

Xu Weilan and Qin Yan drove away.

In the car, she looked at the red envelopes given by her grandmother, her third uncle, her third aunt, and her aunts, and felt very happy.

Qin Yan also sighed, "I'm the first one to receive a red envelope. My mom is so stingy and always says that I'm grown up and don't need red envelopes. The sense of ritual is gone."

Xu Weilan smiled, "In my family, there is never a lack of a sense of ritual."

In fact, in this era, no matter how poor you are, there will always be a sense of ritual in the family.

The atmosphere of the New Year is very strong.

There are many other customs.

For example, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't sweep the floor, as it will sweep away your wealth. You can't hit your children or swear on this day, as it will be unlucky.

In my previous life, I was always busy and never took the time to slowly experience life.

Stop now, feel the flavor of life calmly, and savor the warmth and coldness of human nature. It turns out that this is life!

Plain but real.

All the emotions are revealed in a handshake and a glance.

In the car, Xu Weilan and Qin Yan shared their guesses.

Qin Yan frowned slightly. "It's indeed strange for you to say that. Don't worry, celebrate the New Year happily first, and then deal with these things properly after the New Year."

Ding Mei is very easy to interrogate. I guarantee I can identify her in less than ten sentences."

Xu Weilan then remembered that he was a soldier and had a strong aura, so it should be easy to interrogate him.

She didn't think about it any more.

Gu Ya is looking after the family, so she really doesn't need to worry about anything.

Have a peaceful New Year.

When I got home, I could smell the rich aroma of food.

Today, Qian Ma cooked personally and made different local dishes.

Qian Ma’s hometown is Sichuan Province, which has very southwestern characteristics and is spicy and fragrant.

Xu Weilan also likes spicy food.

Qian Qiuxue fried fish, crispy pork, meatballs, and fried cakes.

Xu Weilan went over to help.

Qian Qiuxue was worried that she couldn't stand the smell of cooking fumes, but Xu Weilan said nonchalantly, "Except for not being hungry, everything else is normal. Don't worry, Mom. I want to talk to you."

It must be said that Qian Qiuxue was happy to hear this, so she asked her to stay in the kitchen to help peel garlic and so on.

Sichuan cuisine requires a lot of seasoning and oil.

The first dish is Taian fish. The fish is chopped into pieces, marinated, coated with starch and fried, then put back into the pot and braised. It is stewed with tofu and various vegetables. It is very fragrant!

The second dish is the crispy pork and pea tip soup. The tender green pea tips in the soup are fragrant and unique.

The third dish is a steamed dish called pork with sand paste, also known as sweet roast pork. The pork belly is filled with red bean paste or black sesame seeds, and the bottom is glutinous rice with brown sugar.

The fourth dish is Xian Shao Bai, which is actually Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, so delicious!

The fifth dish is boiled pork slices, large slices of meat as thin as a cicada's wing, with bean sprouts and bean skin underneath, soaking in the boiling red oil, which makes your mouth water.

The sixth dish is sweet-skin duck. It seems that Qian Ma asked a master chef to make it. This dish is very demanding on cooking skills. Qian Ma can't make it, but she feels that this dish is indispensable for the New Year's Eve dinner, so she specially asked someone to make it.

The eighth dish is braised pork elbow. Qian Ma marinated the pork elbow yesterday and now put it directly into the pot for slow cooking. The stewed pork elbow is soft and tasty, and the aroma alone makes people drool.

The ninth dish wasn't Sichuan cuisine, but rather a seafood dish: steamed shrimp and abalone with vermicelli. The abalone, about half the size of a palm, looked incredibly thick, and with the aroma of garlic, it had a strong flavor. The shrimp were also palm-sized and incredibly tender.

The tenth and most important dish in the Manchu-Han banquet is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Qian Ma prepared a lot of ingredients for this dish and spent several days preparing it.

Now just serve it on the table, one bowl per person, it’s rich and delicious!

There are ten dishes in total, all of which are delicious and hearty! The table is full and makes people salivate!

Qin Yan was the most excited. "It's been a long time since I've eaten the food cooked by our mom. Good! Good! It's so delicious!"

A family of four is at the table, cheers!

Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, a new year, a new beginning, new prospects, the future will be better.
