There were also sliced ​​sausages, bacon, cured duck, and air-dried chicken combinations, and finally a candied apple and sweet and spicy yam mashed potatoes.

There were sweet, salty, spicy, sweet and sour, and sauce-flavored dishes. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Zhang Xiaoyan took out several sets of bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses and placed them around the dishes on the table. Finally, she opened a bottle of Moutai that she had specially bought and filled the glasses with wine.

"The original owner doesn't know where you are? And all the ancestors of Zhang Xiaoyan, please don't blame me! You should blame the system for bringing me into this body. In the future, I will honor you during the holidays and will not let you lose the incense. I don't know what you like to eat, but there are both white and red flavors on the table. You can pick what you like!

Today is New Year’s Eve and I don’t know what your customs are, anyway I will follow the customs of my hometown…”

Zhang Xiaoyan placed a porcelain basin on the open space in front of the table and burned yellow paper while muttering to herself. There was no other way. If it were in the past, she would not do these things. She would only watch her elders do these things. However, after death and rebirth in another body, she did not think that ghosts were illusory legends. Anyway, it was not wrong to be pious and have a sense of awe for these things.

Just after putting the yellow paper in the basin and burning it, looking at the flickering flames, I don't know if it was an illusion, I just felt that I heard a burst of laughter, and the smoke was clearly rising, but now it was rushing towards me. Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoyan's eyes were fascinated and tears flowed out.

Zhang Xiaoyan quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it, only to feel a little sore in her eyes. The fire in the basin flickered and burned out after a while. After all, this was a room and Zhang Xiaoyan didn't prepare too much yellow paper, so it burned very quickly.

After putting the basin and the ashes into the space, Zhang Xiaoyan sat by and waited. She looked at the time and saw that about 15 minutes had passed. Zhang Xiaoyan walked over and poured the wine in the glasses on the table onto the ground one by one. As soon as she finished pouring a circle, she heard He Yushui's crisp voice.

"Sister Yan Zi, are you done with your work here? The deaf old lady is ready and waiting for you."

He Yushui helped to bring all the dishes that Silly Brother had been busy preparing for the whole afternoon to the table, and then she heard the deaf old lady asking her to come over and call for help. She was worried at first, but then she thought that with Sister Yan Zi's ability, she should not be in trouble since she knew that the other party was planning something, so she ran over to call for help. Zhang Xiaoyan quickly responded and put most of the dishes on the table away.

"Hey~ You even closed the door. Are you afraid that I'll come and eat secretly?"

He Yushui lifted the heavy door curtain and found that the door was closed, but it was soon opened and he immediately joked,

"Yes, I made a lot of delicious food today, and I'm afraid you'll come and eat it secretly, so I have to be on guard! Come in first! I'll go get the tray and bring two dishes over."

There was only one plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, one plate of spicy cabbage with minced meat, a bowl of smoking hot soup, and a large braised pig's head with ears hanging on both sides. It was a completely uncut pig's head.

"No wonder I smelled the aroma of braised meat all afternoon. This big pig head smells better than the ones made by my silly brother."

He Yushui saw the pig's head on the table at first sight. The air was still filled with the aroma of various dishes, but the most obvious was the aroma of braised dishes, so she didn't think much about it. Zhang Xiaoyan naturally wouldn't say anything nonsense.

"This braised pig's head is for the ancestors, so it can't be eaten yet. I'll bring these two dishes over for everyone to eat together. I don't know if this will be too rude."

"How could that be! This is a meat dish, but there's a bit too much chili! Who cares? Just looking at the meat in it, I know you're sincere. Let's go! Otherwise, you'll start lecturing me on this little thing and it'll be annoying."

He Yushui said with a smile, she was not a fool and she could smell the chili pepper as she got closer, so she could imagine how spicy the two dishes were.

Zhang Xiaoyan put the two plates of meat and vegetables into the tray. This tray was specially made before and was quite convenient to use. After saying this, the two of them walked out the door. The moment Zhang Xiaoyan locked the door, the braised pig's head on the table also entered the space.

"Happy New Year to the old lady, uncle and aunt! I'm celebrating the New Year alone so I didn't prepare anything but two dishes. I hope you don't mind."

He Yushui walked in front to help lift the door curtain. The two walked in a day later. As soon as they entered the door, Zhang Xiaoyan greeted everyone awkwardly.

"Xiao Zhang is here, hurry up and sit down, why are you preparing dishes by yourself? It's all right as long as the person is here."

The aunt said enthusiastically, but her eyes glanced at the two dishes on the tray. Seeing that they were two meat dishes, she felt satisfied.

"It's just that it's too lonely for a girl like you to celebrate the New Year alone. It will be more lively if you celebrate the New Year with us. Hurry up and listen to your aunt and sit here. We will start the meal soon."

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's eat quickly! I don't know what you like to eat. These two dishes are made according to my own appetite. Try them. Old lady, you should try them too."

Zhang Xiaoyan sat down happily, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat into the old lady's bowl. The fat and lean pork with a hint of spiciness was placed in the bowl.

The deaf old lady's heart was pounding. Even though her eyesight was not good, she could still see the plate of red peppers. The aroma of all the dishes on the table was overshadowed by the two spicy dishes.

"Everyone, please take a seat! Let's raise our glasses. The first glass is to our leader. Our current good life is inseparable from the leadership of our leader..."

Yi Zhonghai was worthy of being the old lady’s godson. He immediately filled the glasses with drinks for everyone at the table and stood up to give everyone a speech before the meal.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone raised their glasses respectfully, with looks of admiration on their faces.

"Let us toast to our leader first. May he live a long and healthy life and may our motherland prosper."

Zhang Xiaoyan, He Yuzhu and He Yushui also raised their glasses and drank them all. This was He Yushui's first time drinking white wine, and he felt a spicy taste rushing to his forehead. He immediately opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and fanned it vigorously with his hands.

"Yushui, you are so brave. Isn't there the Arctic Ocean here? Why are you still drinking?"

Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the other person's face with amusement. The bright red face covered the previous sallowness. Now she looked full of girlishness and a little cute. But after she finished speaking, she did not forget to add a piece of stewed tofu to the other person, which can relieve the spiciness and hangover.

"I'm not in a state of overreaction, am I?"
