Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

New Year!

Every household hangs lanterns and posts couplets!

Xia Ning was busy in the kitchen for most of the afternoon.

Finally, she made the dish she wanted to cook.

Xia Xue and Xia Kai were on the side, helping.

Qi Yanhong asked Xia Jinghua to let Xia Kai take a bath first.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, it was just in time to have dinner!

Someone else's girl was the same age as Xia Ning. At this time, she had already put on new clothes and was waiting to eat.

Their girl is still busy in the kitchen.

Qi Yanhong touched the corners of her eyes with her hands, which were already wet.

Xia Jinghua put his hand gently on her shoulder and said, "Without the pain that pierces the bones, there will be no fragrance of plum blossoms. Our Xiaoning is our pride."

Qi Yanhong nodded.

She even secretly decided in her heart that from now on, everything she had would be left to these three children.

Because the daughters have all gotten married and have received too much love from them. Only these three children have lacked their love since they were young. Even their father's share should be given to these three children.

……

The dishes made by Xia Ning are very beautiful.

Braised mandarin fish, steamed lobster vermicelli, steamed abalone; braised pig's feet; braised pork ribs; spring garden made with carrots and various vegetables; steamed quail eggs with mushrooms; fried enoki mushrooms with red pepper; chicken cake; cold cabbage; Lotus seed and lily soup; meatball and mushroom soup, and a must-have dumpling.

The table was full, and Xia Jinghua never closed his mouth.

There were not many people tonight, but we were able to cook and eat so many dishes made by Xia Ning.

Xia Kai stood up and said, "Grandpa, grandma, my eldest sister made this table of dishes. She said they all have meanings."

Xia Jinghua immediately asked: "Xiao Kai, what do you think the meaning of this table of dishes cooked by eldest sister is?"

Xia Kai pointed to the braised mandarin fish and said: "This dish is more than enough every year."

Steamed lobster powder is just that: “This is the Hibiscus Hidden Dragon.”

Qi Yanhong applauded and said, "This dish deserves a better name."

Xia Kai nodded happily and said, "This is natural. Is this the dish my eldest sister cooked or the name she gave me."

Qi Yanhong pointed to the braised pig's feet on the side and asked, "What's the name of this dish?"

Xia Kai said: "It's called getting rich easily."

Xia Jinghua laughed. The name was odd, but the meaning was still very good.

Qi Yanhong pointed to another braised pork ribs and asked, "What about this one? What's its name?"

Eating can be so much fun!

The ribs are cut into whole pieces, but the meat is still connected, and it looks like there are rows and sections.

Xia Kai said: "Sister said this is called promotion."

Qi Yanhong applauded: "Okay, really good, great."

Xia Jinghua pointed to the dish with carrots and vegetables on the side: "What's the name?"

Xia Xue also stood up and said, "I know, this is called Spring in the Garden."

Qi Yanhong laughed happily: "Okay, okay, okay, what a beautiful garden."

Xia Jinghua pointed to the steamed quail eggs with mushrooms and asked, "What is this called?"

Xia Xue said: "She is called Lucky and Treasure."

Xia Jinghua nodded, the arrangement was indeed similar.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

He pointed at the egg cake and asked, "What do you remember this for?"

Xia Xue said: "My sister said you must have a haircut."

Oh, the chicken cake is called Yifa!

It’s a shame that Xiao Ning could figure it out!

Qi Yanhong pointed to the cold cabbage in front of her and asked, "What about this one?"

Xia Xue smiled: "Sister said that cabbage is called Baicai, which means money will come continuously."

Qi Yanhong was very happy: "I have to eat all these dishes today, I have to eat them all."

For the remaining two dishes, Xia Ning stood up and said: "Grandpa and grandma, this lily and lotus seed is a century-old combination, and this fish head soup is like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, and this meatball soup is like a big bead and a small bead." Come here."

Qi Yanhong was so happy. She didn't expect such a surprise tonight.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down. You really gave grandma a huge surprise tonight. Grandma thanks you so much."

Xia Jinghua also said: "Grandpa is really glad to have found you. You are all my little treasures."

Xia Kai chuckled and said, "Grandpa, grandma is our big treasure."

Xia Ning muttered silently in her heart: It should be the old baby!

Qi Yanhong held her chopsticks and said, "Let's get started. I wish our family a happy new year."

Xia Jinghua also said: "It's a joy to have the whole family reunited."

Xia Ning said: "May our family be warm and interesting all year round!"

Xia Xue looked at her eldest sister, then at her grandpa and grandma. Does everyone have to say something?

She said: "Good luck!"

Her words made Xia Jinghua and Qi Yanhong laugh: "Okay, good luck!"

Then everyone looked at Xia Kai.

Xia Kai scratched his head. Everyone had said it, so what did he say?

He can't say the kind of words that eldest sister does!

He wanted to say something like the second sister, but he couldn't. After holding it in for three seconds, he said: "Happy New Year."

Xia Jinghua smiled and said, "Okay, let's start eating."

There are five people, and there is a big table of food. Xia Ning picks up the food for her grandparents.

Xia Jinghua: "You don't need to pick up the food for your grandparents. If you can't pick it up, tell your grandparents and they will help you pick up the food."

Xia Xue and Xia Kai said: "Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, we can catch them."

Qi Yanhong: "Good boy, eat, eat."

At Zhang Wanxiu’s house, everyone was also having a reunion dinner, and the whole family gathered around a big table.

The children couldn't come to the big table to eat, so they stood next to the adults holding their bowls and let the adults pick up the food for them.

Zhang Wanxiu sat next to her parents, just took a few bites of food and wanted to go out.

Lin Jiajia's son Shitou had no place and could only stand on the edge, constantly giving her food. She wanted to eat it herself and pick up food for her son, which made her feel angry.

Suddenly he said: "We have a table every year, but now there are too many people and we can't sit down. Should we put an extra table next year, otherwise we won't be able to sit down."

Grandma Zhang glared at her and said, "On New Year's Day, you just eat when you eat. Why do you talk so much?"

Her mother-in-law said to her: "Every year we eat together around the same table. It's good to be reunited. Who will have two tables?"

After being glared at by her mother-in-law, Lin Jiajia curled her lips and said, "Then what can we do? Our family has so many people, don't you think we can't sit down?"

The mother-in-law glared at her again and said, "You still say that?"

Lin Jiajia then closed her mouth and stopped talking.

……

The Min family was also eating, and a large family gathered around. Min Cheng quickly finished eating and put down his chopsticks.

Min Zheng glanced at him with a faint look: "Are you full so soon?"

Ming Cheng looked calm, nodded and said, "I'm full."

Min Zheng: "Then just sit aside and accompany the elders."

Min Cheng originally wanted to stand up, but after his grandfather said this, he had to continue sitting still.
