The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside
Chapter 1069 New Year’s Eve Dinner
Mother Zhou started preparing various New Year goods early. She shuttled between the market and home, always carrying large and small bags in her hands.
Early in the morning, Mother Zhou carried a basket and went out in the biting cold wind to buy fresh vegetables.
The market was crowded with people and shouts were heard one after another. She carefully selected from the stalls, and kept saying: "The cabbage should be firm, and the pork should be fat and lean."
Zhou Ziwen was not idle either. He was busy cleaning the yard, wiping the furniture, and keeping the house clean.
He took the broom and swept every corner carefully, and the dust flew in the sunlight.
He shoveled the snow in the yard aside and made a cute snowman. Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan were laughing happily and clapping their hands.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying brought little Yueyue and little Xuanxuan to decorate the house for the New Year.
They took out the red lanterns they had prepared in advance and carefully hung them under the eaves. The red lanterns swayed in the wind, adding a festive atmosphere to the yard.
Little Yueyue ran around excitedly, holding the paper-cuts in her hands, shouting, "Mom, stick them here, stick them here!"
Chen Qiaoyi took the paper-cut with a smile and gently pasted it on the window, and the window instantly became lively.
After returning home, the family sat together and began to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Mother Zhou was busy in the kitchen, with delicious braised pork stewing in the pot, the aroma filled the air.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying helped wash and cut vegetables. Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan followed behind like two little tails, watching the adults busy with curiosity.
Zhou Ziwen and his father set up the tables and chairs in the living room and prepared the tableware.
Zhou Ziwen's eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, nephew and niece also came back to celebrate the New Year.
The second sister and Zhou Xiaomei are also staying at home because they are not married yet. Only the eldest sister is married and will probably not come back until tomorrow.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is ready, and the table is filled with sumptuous dishes, including braised pork, steamed fish, sweet and sour spare ribs, dumplings, and so on.
The whole family sat around the table, laughing and talking happily.
Father Zhou looked at the table full of dishes with a happy smile on his face. He stood up, cleared his throat and said, "It's a rare occasion for our family to be together today. Everyone has worked hard this year."
"I hope that in the new year, our Zhou family will continue to be harmonious, the children will grow up healthily, and the adults will have everything going well!"
After that, he raised his glass and gestured to everyone.
Everyone responded and stood up to raise their glasses. Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "Dad, you are right. In the new year, we will work harder to make our family better and better."
After everyone finished the drink, they started eating.
The little ones at home couldn't wait any longer.
Xiao Xuanxuan is fine because he is too young and can't eat it. But Xiao Yueyue, Zhou Yi and Zhou Ming are different.
These three little ones are now the most favored in the family, especially little Yueyue, who is the apple of Zhou's eye.
Little Yueyue stared at the table full of delicacies with sparkling eyes. Her little hand quickly reached for the plate of braised pork, and her chubby little face was full of excitement.
Zhou Yi and Zhou Ming were not to be outdone and stretched out their chopsticks towards their favorite dishes.
Xiao Yueyue finally picked up a piece of braised pork, but because her hands were not strong enough, the meat swayed halfway, which made everyone laugh.
Fortunately, she was smart and quickly used her other hand to help her put the meat into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster, and she chewed with satisfaction, mumbling, "It's so delicious!"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Xiao Yue, eat slowly and don't choke." As she said that, she thoughtfully handed Xiao Yueyue a glass of juice.
Little Yueyue took the juice, gulped down a few mouthfuls, wiped her mouth, and started to "attack" the sweet and sour spare ribs again.
Zhou Ming was eating dumplings while interacting with Xiao Xuanxuan.
He held a small dumpling and waved it in front of Xiaoxuanxuan, making Xiaoxuanxuan babble and reach out to grab it.
Xiao Xuanxuan tried to catch it several times but failed. He was so anxious that his face turned red and he was about to cry.
Zhou Ming quickly put the dumplings to Xiaoxuanxuan's mouth. Xiaoxuanxuan immediately burst into laughter and started to eat with a smacking sound.
The adults couldn't stop smiling at the cute looks of the children.
The eldest sister-in-law smiled and said, "It's really lively when these children get together. Looking at them, I feel that all the hard work of this year is worth it."
The second sister-in-law also nodded and said: "Yes, children are the hope of the family. In the new year, I hope they can thrive."
Mother Zhou looked at the children lovingly, kept picking food for them, and kept saying, "My dears, eat more and grow tall."
There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!
As the New Year’s Eve dinner progressed, the atmosphere at home became more and more lively.
Dad Zhou and Zhou Ziwen's older and second brothers started talking about work and things outside, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.
Mother Zhou and the eldest and second sisters-in-law paid more attention to the children, reminding them from time to time to eat slowly and be careful not to burn themselves.
Zhou Ziwen played the role of livening up the atmosphere at the dinner table. He told his nephew and niece interesting stories about his time in Dabazi Village, making the children giggle.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also shared their life experiences in the countryside, which made their families listen with great interest.
Father Zhou listened to Zhou Ziwen's story about his time in Dabazi Village, his eyes full of satisfaction and admiration. He smiled and said:
"Ziwen, you have done a great job in the village. Not only do you live a good life, but you also help the villagers get rich together. You are really great!"
The eldest brother also nodded and praised: "Yes, brother, you have experienced a lot in the village in the past few years and have grown a lot. What are your plans for the future? Do you want to continue to develop in the village?"
Zhou Ziwen put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother, I want to continue staying in Dabazi Village.
Now the village is developing better and better. I want to further expand the mushroom cultivation industry and introduce some new projects to make the villagers' lives more prosperous."
In fact, everything he said was false.
Once tonight is over, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month.
This year, the college entrance examination was resumed.
He also planned to take advantage of this opportunity to bring his family back to the city.
But I won’t tell them about these things.
After all, there is no news about the resumption of the college entrance examination yet!
After Zhou Ziwen finished speaking, the eldest brother nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Your idea is responsible, but this road of development is not easy to follow, and you have to plan carefully."
The second brother also said: "Yes, Ziwen, the situation in the village is complicated, and you don't have anyone to help you, so you have to be careful in your daily work!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and responded: "Don't worry, big brother, I know what's going on."
As he spoke, he picked up some food for Zhou Yi and Zhou Ming and cleverly changed the subject, "Come on, Xiaoyi, Xiaoming, eat more. You are growing up now."
