"A Yuan, be careful and keep your hands away from that pot." Mrs. Meng said to Lin Yuan with a worried look on her face.

At this time, in the Meng family's kitchen, Lin Yuan was standing in front of the cooking table wearing gloves and an apron. Her expression was very serious, as if she was a surgeon doing a complicated operation, but in fact, Lin Yuan The kite is just treating a fish.

Several chefs from the Meng family stood to the left of Lin Yuan. They all looked nervous, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same as Lin Yuan's. Even Mrs. Meng was staring at Lin Yuan's staff very seriously. fish.

Lin Yuan is cooking squirrel mandarin fish. Since it is a New Year's Eve dinner, the fish is naturally indispensable on the dinner table. She chose to cook squirrel mandarin fish because she feels that the taste of this dish is very suitable for Jing Yu and Jing Zhiyu. taste, but Lin Yuan underestimated the difficulty of making this dish.

Lin Yuan has been busy in the kitchen since lunch. Most of the other dishes were completed after failing once or twice. Although it was with the help of the Meng family chef, it was finally completed.

Only this squirrel mandarin fish dish has failed four times. Lin Yuan is already holding the fifth fish. If it fails again, the Meng family should have someone buy it again.

The fish had already been cut by the Meng family chefs. Lin Yuan carefully followed the steps instructed by the chefs, marinating, salting, powdering, and powdering, and just put the fish in and fried it.

In the past few times, Lin Yuan failed in frying the fish. It was either undercooked or fried, so this time Lin Yuan was very cautious. When she saw that the thermometer reached the required temperature, she started to act according to the chef's instructions. , Lin Yuan first poured oil on the fish, and when the fish was almost ready, she immediately put the whole fish into the oil pan.

Mrs. Meng watched the whole process with fear, fearing that Lin Yuan would be scalded by the hot oil. Fortunately, there was no danger. She felt relieved when she saw Lin Yuan using chopsticks to pick up the fish in the pot.

Finally, the fifth fish lived up to Lin Yuan. Although the overall shape was not that good-looking, the golden color was perfect. Old Mrs. Meng and everyone in the kitchen cheered, and Lin Yuan himself felt something inexplicable. A sense of accomplishment.

The cheers were a little loud, alarming Jing Yu and Mr. Meng. They also walked in and looked at the squirrel mandarin fish made by Lin Yuan. Mr. Meng also praised it greatly, not to mention Jing Yu, who praised his wife. The same as international famous chefs.

Perhaps because Lin Yuan worked too hard when frying the fish, when frying the sauce, she actually succeeded in one try. Even Lin Yuan herself found it unbelievable. She poured the sauce evenly on the fish and mixed it together. The squirrel mandarin fish with full color, flavor and flavor is completed.

Lin Yuan smiled when she saw the finished product. Jing Yu also took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Lin Yuan and Cai, saying that he would print it out and hang it.

The dishes were handed over to the servants and placed on the dining table. Lin Yuan finished the New Year's Eve dinner before seven o'clock. She took off her apron and washed her hands. Everyone walked towards the restaurant, preparing to eat immediately.

"A Yuan, you better not make that squirrel mandarin fish in the future. If you accidentally get burned by the hot oil, it will be serious. From now on, you can make steamed fish or something like that. It is simple and safe." Mrs. Meng added. Lin Yuan asked once, for fear that Lin Yuan would be injured.

"But I like this taste. I want to make a few dishes that everyone likes during the Chinese New Year." In fact, it was not just the dishes that Jing Yu liked that Lin Yuan cooked, she also made the dishes that Mrs. Meng and Mr. Meng liked. Anyway, The dishes on this New Year's Eve dinner were carefully selected by Lin Yuan.

When Mrs. Meng heard that Lin Yuan said that it was because of Jing Yu that she could cook this dish, she reached out and slapped Jing Yu who was walking in front, and said in a reproachful tone: "Don't like me anymore, in case I hurt your wife." , I’ll see how you cry when the time comes.”

Jing Yu, who had been slapped inexplicably, looked a little confused, but he followed Mrs. Meng's words and said to Lin Yuan: "Stop cooking from now on. I didn't marry you because I wanted you." As a cook, from now on you will be responsible for looking as beautiful as a flower."

"Then I will be a rich lady with clothes to wear and food to eat from now on." Lin Yuan said in a joking tone. As soon as she heard the words "beautiful as a flower", Lin Yuan immediately laughed and complained in her heart. Come on, this is a bad joke from what era.

On the dining table, there were a total of eighteen dishes, large and small, all of which were the result of Lin Yuan's busy work over the past two days. Although they were just home-cooked dishes and not as sumptuous as the Meng family's New Year's Eve dinner in previous years, they looked extraordinarily delicious. It makes people feel appetizing. This may be because Lin Yuan's sincerity is added to it.

After everyone sat down, Mr. Meng raised his wine glass and said, "Unknowingly, this year will be over again. This glass of wine celebrates the harvest this year, and also wishes that next year will be better for all of us."

After Mr. Meng finished speaking, he pointed the wine glass at Lin Yuan and said, "A Yuan, the happiest thing about grandpa this year is that you and A Yu can get along well. You two are fine, and your grandma and I are still alive." Only Xiaoyu will be fine. Grandpa dedicates this glass of wine to you."

Lin Yuan was frightened by Mr. Meng's actions. There was no way she could accept Mr. Meng's toast, so she quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Grandpa, if you want to propose a toast, I'd like to toast you too. Thank you for your and grandma's tolerance for me in the past few years." , and the love for me makes me feel like home."

After she finished speaking, Lin Yuan drank all the wine in the cup. Because she drank too quickly, she choked and coughed. Jing Yu quickly patted her back and said, "Why are you drinking in such a hurry? Be careful." , it’s full of wine, have you forgotten how you drank last time?”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This is the fruit wine I specially prepared for A Yuan. The alcohol content is very low, just like drinking fruit juice."

Lin Yuan coughed several times and even coughed out tears before she recovered. She pulled Jing Yu to indicate that she was recovered, and the two of them sat down again.

"Look what you said to A Yuan, which made her choke like that." Old Mrs. Meng glanced at Mr. Meng, and then asked Lin Yuan with concern: "A Yuan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just drank a little too much."

Looking at the smile on Lin Yuan's face, Mrs. Meng felt relieved, "Grandma doesn't say so many vain things. Anyway, she just hopes that you two will get better and better. You must remember that grandma will always be there for you. Don’t wrong yourself.”

"Thank you, grandma!" Lin Yuan said very touched.

What Lin Yuan said to Mr. Meng just now was all sincere. It had been a long, long time since she had sat together with her family for a New Year's Eve dinner like this.

During the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival in previous years, she would buy a bunch of frozen food by herself and put it in the refrigerator, and cook some for herself when she was hungry. She stayed in a rental house for the whole holiday, eating when she was hungry and sleeping when she was sleepy. How could she be in the mood to cook a large table of dishes like today? It is no exaggeration to say that it was today that she felt the joy of celebrating the New Year.

"Okay, okay, if you want to say thank you or say something sensational, we have all said that in order to live up to the New Year's Eve dinner that A Yuan personally cooked today, we will eat as much as we can."

Following Mr. Meng's words, everyone started using their chopsticks. In fact, some dishes took too long to prepare. Even if they were well kept warm, they were still a bit cold and the taste was not as good as when they were first made. But everything People still eat with gusto,

Later, Lin Yuan was afraid that Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng would overeat, so he quickly had their bowls and chopsticks removed. As for Jing Yu, he focused on the plate of squirrel mandarin fish because Lin Yuan said it was specially for Lin Yuan couldn't stand what he cooked, so he forced Jing Yu to eat other dishes on the grounds that there was fish every year.

The most well-behaved one was Jing Zhiyu. He ate whatever Lin Yuan gave him. When he was full, he got off the table obediently and went to play by himself. In short, the meal was enjoyable and everyone was very happy.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was still early, because it was not officially New Year's Eve, so Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng did not say they would stay vigil, but they did not go to bed immediately. Everyone sat in the living room and chatted.

Mr. Meng and Jing Yu were chatting about some things in the company. Mrs. Meng was playing with toys on the sofa with Jing Zhiyu. Lin Yuan stood at the door and looked at everything in front of her. She suddenly understood what it meant to sit around with a family. . The light is friendly.

A happy smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. At this moment, she understood the meaning of home and family. The role of festivals on people is probably reflected in these times.

"A Yuan, what are you doing standing there? Come sit down and chat together." Old Mrs. Meng saw Lin Yuan with sharp eyes and greeted her.

Lin Yuan smiled and walked to Mrs. Meng and sat down. After Lin Yuan sat down, Mrs. Meng hugged Jing Zhiyu and took out three red envelopes.

"This is the smallest one for you." Old Mrs. Meng gave the thinnest one visible to the naked eye to Jing Yu. "You can make money yourself, so I will give you a symbolic red envelope."

Jing Yu didn't say anything and silently took the red envelope.

"Xiaoyu is so cute, so my great-grandmother will give you the cutest one. This is Xiaoyu's lucky money this year. I hope we, Xiaoyu, will grow up healthily and safely."

Mrs. Meng specially prepared a red envelope with a particularly cute design for Jing Zhiyu. Jing Zhiyu didn't understand what New Year's money was, but when he saw the colorful packaging, he took the red envelope and said thank you to Mrs. Meng.

"As for the biggest one, of course it is for you, A Yuan. I hope everything goes well for A Yuan in the coming year."

Lin Yuan did not expect that she would receive New Year's money at such an old age. She was very surprised and took the red envelope and said to Mrs. Meng: "Thank you, grandma, and I also hope that grandpa and grandpa will be healthy and live a long life."

Jing Zhiyu, who was next to him, saw Old Mrs. Meng giving the red envelope to Lin Yuan. He followed suit and put the red envelope that Old Mrs. Meng had given him just now on Lin Yuan, "Xiaoyu gave it to my mother."

She didn't expect Jing Zhiyu to do this. Not only was he so cute, Lin Yuan felt particularly heartwarming. She returned the red envelope to her son, but Jing Zhiyu insisted not to do so. In desperation, Lin Yuan had to say that classic line , "Then mom will save these new year's money for Xiaoyu first, and then give it to your wife to use later."

"Okay, Xiaoyu will get a wife in the future." Jing Zhiyu didn't understand what a wife was at all, but she was very happy when she saw Lin Yuan handwriting her red envelope.

Everyone laughed at Jing Zhiyu's words. After laughing, Jing Yu also walked to Lin Yuan and handed his little red envelope to Lin Yuan.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yuan asked with a puzzled smile.

"My son has made a statement, so naturally I can't lag behind. You are in charge of our family's finances, and the same goes for the New Year's money. You will get it all." Jing Yu said the words in a very serious tone.

The two elders of the Meng family looked at Lin Yuan and Jing Yu jokingly, making Lin Yuan either take it or not.

"A Yuan, just accept it. The man makes the money and the woman manages the money. But according to our family's tradition, I am in charge of all your grandpa's money."

Lin Yuan glanced at Mr. Meng. He smiled cheerfully. Hearing what Mrs. Meng said, he nodded in agreement, "Your grandma is right. If Ayu doesn't give you the money, then you should be worried." one time."

Since the two old men said this, Lin Yuan no longer felt shy and reached out to take the red envelope.

After giving them the New Year's money, everyone started talking about other things. As time passed, Lin Yuan gradually felt a little uncomfortable. She felt dizzy and her face felt a little hot.

"A Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Meng, who was closest to Lin Yuan, was the first to notice her abnormality.

Hearing Mrs. Meng's words, Jing Yu quickly came to Lin Yuan and touched her forehead. Lin Yuan wanted to say that she was fine, but she couldn't make any movements. She was now in a state where her mind was clear but her hands and feet were not in control. .

Jing Yu called her twice more, but Lin Yuan just nodded. Seeing that her cheeks were red, Jing Yu said to the two elders of the Meng family: "Grandpa, grandma, A Yuan is drunk."

"Drunk again!" Mr. Meng didn't expect that Lin Yuan could get drunk after drinking fruit wine. "That shouldn't be the case. The alcohol content is very low."

"It's all your fault. It's because you said the fruit wine was low in alcohol. A Yuan drank a lot just now." Old Mrs. Meng first complained to Mr. Meng, then looked at Lin Yuan's not sober look and looked at Jing worriedly. Yu said: "A Yu, please help A Yuan to the room to rest. I will send someone to bring sobering soup later."

"What about Xiaoyu?" Jing Yu was still worried about his son.

"Xiaoyu has me and your grandpa, what are you worried about?" Old Mrs. Meng urged again: "You take care of A Yuan first, don't worry about anything else."

After she told Jing Yu, Mrs. Meng looked at Jing Zhiyu who was worried about her mother, and comforted him and said, "Xiaoyu, be good, your mother is drunk, can Grandma Zeng put you to sleep today?"

Because Jing Zhiyu had already seen Lin Yuan drunk once during the last Mid-Autumn Festival, he was in a normal mood. He glanced at his mother for a few times and nodded obediently to Mrs. Meng, "Okay."

Jing Yu then helped Lin Yuan go upstairs. After returning to the room, he gently put Lin Yuan on the bed and lay down. He went to the bathroom to wet a towel and wipe her face and hands. Lin Yuan remained silent the whole time. He didn't move his eyes, as if he was completely asleep.
