Chapter 43 Lively New Year's Eve Dinner
During the Chinese New Year, every household, no matter what their family situation is, will prepare a relatively sumptuous dinner on New Year’s Eve.
"Xiao Ou, let's cook a few more dishes tonight. Auntie, I have prepared a lot of ingredients~" Xia Ying was busy in the kitchen while chatting with Ou Ruoxing.
"Yeah, Auntie, what delicious food are you going to make tonight?" Ou Ruoxing was also very supportive.
"Today, my aunt went out of her way to grab some meat and vegetables, including three parts fat and three parts lean pork belly, a plump chicken, and a three-pound fish..." Xia Ying counted the supplies she had bought today while checking the chicken soup stewing in the pot.
"Smell it, this chicken soup is delicious!"
In those days, everyone was short of food and clothing, and meat was seldom eaten. Only during festivals could one have more meat dishes to eat.
Usually, we can just have a bite to eat to show our appreciation.
Ou Ruoxing shrank her nose and said intoxicatedly, "Hmm~ It smells so good! The glutton in my stomach is about to be tempted to crawl out by this fragrance."
Xia Ying laughed cheerfully when she heard this, "You nagging ghost, I can give you an extra bowl of soup later."
To be honest, Ou Ruoxing is very different when he is working and after get off work, it's like they are two different people.
Yang Yi was in the living room listening to bursts of laughter coming from the kitchen. The corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted up and he had a faint smile.
The whole person seemed to be softer, but if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't notice it.
Xia Ying and Ou Ruoxing prepared the New Year's Eve dinner together and called Xu Huaian and others to come to the table quickly.
The two gentlemen were not the kind of people who were used to being served, so when they heard that the meal was ready, they hurried to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
"Let me do it, the soup is very hot!" Seeing Ou Ruoxing preparing to serve the soup, Yang Yi took the initiative to approach, picked up the soup bowl and strode out.
Ou Ruoxing didn't say anything, but just took the other dishes and went out.
"Come on! Today is New Year's Eve. I'm very happy that we have the opportunity to get together for a family reunion dinner. Let's drink some wine and enjoy ourselves!" As soon as they sat at the table, Xu Huaian picked up the wine glass and suggested.
Xia Ying rolled her eyes at him, "Xiao Ou, don't listen to your uncle, he just likes this. We women can just take soup instead of wine and leave!"
When Xu Huaian heard this, he realized that something bad had happened and he had talked too much.
They quickly agreed, and the four adults and two children, those who could drink drank, and those who couldn't drink drank soup, and they went out in a lively manner.
This evening's table is considered sumptuous.
There is not only chicken soup, but also braised pork, steamed fish, and chicken stewed with black fungus.
There were also a few vegetables, plus soup, making a total of eight dishes.
Everyone at the table enjoyed the meal very much and it took them a full hour to leave.
"Mom and Dad, it would be great if every day was New Year's Day!" Xiao Hao sighed after eating.
"Yes, yes! My brother and I can eat lots of delicious meat during the Chinese New Year and we are so full!" Xiao Jing was also laughing nearby, her cute childish words made people laugh and cry.
Ou Ruoxing ate and listened at the same time, and couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.
In the 1970s, people would look forward to the New Year before they could eat meat.
"Come on, Xiaohao, Xiaojing, eat more." She took some meat from the bowl and gave it to the two children.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoou!"
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoou!"
The two children thanked him in a crisp voice.
Ou Ruoxing touched their hair respectively and smiled.
Xu Huaian and Xia Ying felt a little sad when they saw this scene. Although their lives were much better than those of others, the lack of supplies was indeed a big problem that could not be changed.
Yang Yi sat aside and watched Ou Ruoxing's every move, and his heart was slightly touched.
This is a kind and beautiful girl!
His eyes couldn't help but soften.
The meal ended in a good atmosphere because it was New Year's Eve and everyone had the habit of staying up all night. Although the circumstances in recent years were special, everyone was doing it quietly.
"Xiao Ou, do you want to stay here with Aunt Xia?" Xia Ying wanted to stay. After all, she had noticed at the dinner table just now that her comrade Lao Xu seemed to be interested in Ou Ruoxing.
As her sister-in-law, it wouldn't be too much for her to give her a push quietly!
If these two people can succeed, it will be a good thing.
Yang Yi is already 28 years old after the Chinese New Year, and he still doesn't have a revolutionary partner who understands him. It's really pitiful.
But Xiao Ou is a little young, he will only be 18 after the Chinese New Year.
Thinking about it, I feel a little bit reluctant. Oh my god! If it works, Yang Yi will be an old cow eating young grass!
While Xia Ying was expecting Ou Ruoxing to agree to stay and celebrate the New Year together, she felt conflicted and uncomfortable for a moment.
"Sister Xiao Ou, please stay and keep up with us. We'll eat dumplings together at midnight, receive the New Year's money my parents gave us, and then we can go back to sleep!" Xiao Hao was a smart guy and also tried to persuade her to stay.
"Yes, yes! Sister Xiao Ou, the dumplings are delicious, and there are also lots of New Year's money, so you can buy candies!" Xiao Jing was also instigating, and when it came to candies, her little mouth was slurping saliva, and her little appearance was so adorable!
Yang Yi was also quietly waiting for her answer, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
He himself didn't understand why he had such emotions, and he simply attributed it to the fact that he didn't want to be alone in a foreign land to celebrate the New Year's Eve!
