Xiumei snatched the hibiscus cream, opened the lid and smelled it. A fresh fragrance filled her nose. Although there was still some smell of traditional Chinese medicine in it, it did not conflict and the fragrance was still strong.

"Yuzhu said that it is made from traditional Chinese medicine and can whiten and nourish the skin. I didn't believe it at first, but after using it a few times, I found that the small black spots on my face disappeared. Haha, isn't it magical?" Zhu Lin said beautifully.

"Amazing!"

Everyone was shocked. There are cosmetics that can remove freckles, but most of them have no effect. They sound great, but in fact they are useless and it is a waste of money.

"Linlin, do you have any more at home? I want to buy a bottle!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

"And me~"

"..."

Zhu Lin said helplessly: "This is my last bottle, really!"

"No more!"

The beauties expressed their disappointment. Who doesn’t love beauty? Although all of them were beautiful women, their faces were not spotless. They all had a few spots, more or less. They felt distressed every time they looked in the mirror. They had a chance to get rid of them, but unfortunately the medicine was gone!

At this time, He Yuzhu came in with a copper hot pot and asked with a smile: "What's missing?"

"Director He, can you make some more lotus cream?"

"That's right, we buy it!"

So it was this thing! He Yuzhu laughed secretly. He didn't expect his wife to expose the treasure so quickly. She really deserved to be beaten.

"Okay, but you have to wait!"

"How long are you waiting for?"

For the sake of beauty, women really don't want to wait a moment.

"Wait until spring comes and flowers bloom!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile as he poured the charcoal: "Because some medicinal herbs are only available in spring, there is no point in you being anxious!"

Tell them a little lie to let them know that scarcity makes things valuable and that good things require waiting.

"All right!"

After all, there was hope, and the women became happy again. After He Yuzhu left, they started gossiping again.

"Linlin, you have been married for such a long time, why is there no movement?" Xiumei touched Zhu Lin's belly and said with a smile.

"I don't know either!" Zhu Lin blushed.

"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with him!"

"What are you talking about!" Zhu Lin scolded with a smile: "We both checked it out, there is no problem at all!"

"That means you didn't work hard enough!"

"Go go go~"

"Haha~"

After some understanding, Zhu Lin realized that the reason Xiumei and the others were able to come back was because they were all admitted to the Kyoto Film Academy. To be honest, she was very envious because literature and art had always been her pursuit. But unfortunately, she was recommended to study in medical school half-time. Now if she wanted to apply to the film academy again, she could only wait until graduation.

Soon, He Yuzhu prepared all the side dishes, including three plates of beef, three plates of mutton, three plates of tripe, and various vegetables, which were paired with secret seasonings. It was even more delicious than Donglaishun’s, and the women enjoyed it very much.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the factory was also preparing for a holiday. This year, the rotation system was still in accordance with last year's policy. After the leaders finished the summary meeting, He Yuzhu went to the canteen to arrange the staff on duty. Because there was a subsidy for being on duty, many people were willing to stay, but things have to be fair, right? So those who stayed behind last year all went home for the New Year this year.

There is no 30th this year, and the 29th is New Year's Eve. He Yuzhu put up Spring Festival couplets at home, left some New Year goods for Ma Hua, and then drove Zhu Lin back to her parents' home.

As soon as they arrived at her mother's house, the couple started to get busy. There was no other way, because Zhu's mother was still on duty and would not be back until the evening. So today's workload was very heavy. Not only did they have to steam buns, but they also had to steam steamed buns and dumplings. In addition, they also had to fry vegetarian meatballs and meatballs. After finishing all these, He Yuzhu began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

The New Year's Eve dinner is different from ordinary ones. It is a very grand and sumptuous dinner. As a family of culinary experts and a master chef, He Yuzhu of course had to show off his special skills. He carefully prepared eight dishes, three Sichuan dishes "Kung Pao Chicken", "Fish-flavored Pork Shreds", and "Fuqi Feipian", four Shandong dishes "Scallion-fried Sea Cucumber", "Oil-splashed Beans", "Imperial Shrimp", and "Sautéed Lamb with Scallions", and finally a finale dish "Best Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". You read that right, it is "Best Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".

Originally, He Yuzhu didn't want to be so extravagant. The system mall has just opened, so he might as well whitewash it. Besides, it's the first time he spends the New Year at his mother-in-law's house, so he has to perform well.

Some people say that there is art everywhere in the world, which is absolutely true. Old Zhu and his daughter kept stretching their heads to look into the kitchen. He Yuzhu's every move was so graceful and harmonious, even more artistic than art. They were so hungry that they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"Hey, hey, Comrade Zhu, you have to keep your composure and don't lose your status as a great professor!" Zhu Lin teased.

Father Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "You're still talking about me, aren't you just as greedy!"

Suck it~

"I'm different, I'm his wife!"

"Well, this girl has been raised in vain!" said Mr. Zhu unhappily.

"Humph~"

Zhu Lin said proudly and jumped into the kitchen. She said she was helping, but actually she just wanted to steal some food. There was no other way. The reputation of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" was too big. This world-famous dish that she had only heard of but never seen actually appeared in her own kitchen. She would never have dared to think about it before.

"Hey, I'm just going to take a look. I definitely won't eat it!"

He Yuzhu was too lazy to pay attention to her. He said that he didn't want to eat, but his hands kept making small movements. It seemed that half of the meatballs were gone.

"Get out, get out!"

Zhu Lin was ruthlessly pushed out of the door by He Yuzhu, and then she raised her fist angrily to threaten him, but it was of no use, He Yuzhu refused to open the door.

When Mr. Zhu saw this scene, he was immediately delighted: "Haha~"

"What are you laughing at? You don't get any share in the good work!"

"..."

Is this still my biological daughter?

It was just getting dark when Mother Zhu came home from get off work. Coincidentally, He Yuzhu also came out of the kitchen. Everything was ready and they were ready for dinner.

But before the meal, firecrackers must be set off first, this is the rule. The father-in-law took out the firecrackers that he had bought in advance, and He Yuzhu went downstairs with them, and Zhu Lin followed behind like a little tail.

Soon, a deafening explosion sounded, which lasted for a full minute. Zhu Lin was so scared that she ran upstairs.

"Say farewell to the old and usher in the new, may you be safe every year!" He Yuzhu shouted, and then pulled Zhu Lin to bow to the two elders, smiling and saying, "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad!"

"Okay~"

Mother Zhu's eyes were red and she hurriedly took out two red envelopes from her pocket, one for her daughter and son-in-law.

After the blessings, the family started the New Year’s Eve dinner. He Yuzhu saved the last dish, “Buddha Jumps Over the Wall”, until it was served on the table. The whole house was filled with the fragrance, making people salivate.

Since it was a delicious dish, it had to be paired with fine wine. He Yuzhu took out a bottle of Maotai and poured it for Mr. Zhu first, then asked the two women to drink tea instead of wine. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "This first glass of wine is for my parents. I wish you good health and longevity..."

Look how caring this son-in-law is, he's just as caring as his own son!

The old couple were so moved that they kept saying, "Okay, all is well..."

"The second glass of wine is to toast to our whole family, and wish you peace and prosperity in the new year!"

"Okay, cheers..."

After finishing the wine, Zhu Lin started to eat. Like a little mouse, she filled her mouth in a short while, and kept muttering: "Delicious, really delicious, sea cucumber and abalone are my favorites..."

"Okay, it's all yours~" said Mother Zhu with a doting smile.

"Yuzhui, you can't spoil Linlin. Look how picky she is now!" Father Zhu was lecturing, but his hands were not slow at all.

After tasting the food, Mother Zhu also exclaimed: "This is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten in my life. Yuzhu, you are amazing. It is such a blessing for our Linlin to marry you!"

Zhu Lin was unhappy after hearing this: "Mom, what you said makes it seem like I'm a foodie!"

"do not you?"

He Yuzhu, Zhu's mother, and Zhu's father asked in unison.

"..." Zhu Lin began to doubt her life, "Am I really a foodie?"
