Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Jingjing was stunned when she received the heavy silver. She had never thought that one day she could make money through her own efforts, although this activity was extremely disgraceful in the eyes of her parents. But being with Lu Haojie always seemed to bring her a different kind of happiness.

Of course, since they made the pastries themselves, they had to eat them during the Chinese New Year. In the end, the pastries that Xia Yingying asked them to make were naturally distributed to their family members. In addition to distributing bonuses and wages to them, Xia Yingying also gave everyone a small gift package of pastries. When everyone received it, they had a smile on their face and were very happy.

Because Jingjing was going back, Xia Yingying was very grateful to Jingjing's mother, Wang Shi, for planning the store design for her, so she made two boxes of pastries for Jingjing to take back.

There is a pastry shop for everyone in the mansion.

When Xia Yingying took a break, she realized that the New Year was almost approaching.

But Xia Yingying didn't get any New Year's items in the house, and she was completely shocked.

In the modern world, after losing her grandmother, she just spent the New Year casually, but it’s different now. She has a family, and she wants her family to have a good New Year, including every year to come.

Lu Ziren had just returned from practicing martial arts. When he arrived, he saw Xia Yingying with a pale face and a distracted look. Lu Ziren was extremely worried, thinking that Xia Yingying was ill, and walked over quickly, "Yingying, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Ziren walked up to Xia Yingying and put his hand on her forehead.

Xia Yingying's forehead was cold, and Lu Ziren was even more certain that Xia Yingying was sick.

"I'll call a doctor." Lu Ziren said hurriedly.

"No, I'm not sick." Xia Yingying said weakly.

But Lu Ziren didn't care what Xia Yingying said, "Your forehead is cold. Be good. If you are sick, you should see a doctor. This way you will get better faster."

Xia Yingying knew that she was not sick, she was just scared.

Lu Ziren's behavior was motivated by good intentions. If Lu Ziren called a doctor to check and found out that she was not sick, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

Xia Yingying immediately grabbed Lu Ziren's arm and said, "Don't go. I'm really not sick. I was just scared."

Lu Ziren became even more anxious when he heard this.

Scared, why was Xia Yingying scared?

"If you are scared, you should see a doctor. Look, your face is so pale." Lu Ziren said.

Xia Yingying was speechless for a moment. "I, I'm really fine. I'll be fine after a rest. I need your help with this matter. Can you stay here with me for a while?"

Seeing that Lu Ziren was having trouble going to see the doctor, Xia Yingying thought of a way to keep Lu Ziren.

When Lu Ziren heard that Xia Yingying needed help, he stopped and decided to call a doctor later.

Xia Yingying briefly told Lu Ziren the situation, and Lu Ziren then knew what Xia Yingying was worried about.

"Yingying, you are just too worried. But it's my fault for forgetting to tell you that Uncle Lin has already arranged everything in the mansion. If you don't believe me, go and take a look later. Our mansion has changed completely now."

Lu Ziren said this to Xia Yingying.

She also pointed to the jewelry and new clothes on the table.

"Everything is ready in our house. Here are your new clothes and jewelry for the New Year. Do you like them?"

After hearing what Lu Ziren said, Xia Yingying's complexion slowly returned to normal.

"Did you tell Mr. Lin?" Xia Yingying asked Lu Ziren.

Lu Ziren looked at Xia Yingying lovingly and shook his head, "This was all arranged by Uncle Lin. Everyone in the mansion has one, and everything is arranged by him in a tight and orderly manner. You can rest assured now."

"I want to take a look at the mansion." Xia Yingying nodded slowly.

"I'll go with you." Lu Ziren went forward and took Xia Yingying's dress, pulled it up for her, and went to the yard together.

The Spring Festival couplets have been hung up in the mansion, and bright red lanterns have been placed under the eaves, which looks very festive.

The back door was wide open and car after car entered the kitchen.

Before, Lu Ziren celebrated the New Year with the soldiers in the military camp. Now he finally celebrates the New Year at home with his wife and children. Of course, Uncle Lin has to take good care of it.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared by Mr. Li and Mr. Chen together.

Uncle Li knew Uncle Chen's purpose in coming to his house. Now his desire to defeat Uncle Chen was not as strong as before. The two of them got along pretty well. Today was the New Year's Eve dinner, and they were cooking and discussing in the kitchen.

"Today we are going to cook for the whole mansion. Some soldiers who can go home have already gone back, and those who can't go back are all staying in the mansion. We have to give them a good meal every year, and we can't let them think that our general's mansion treats them unfairly."

"Old man Li, what dishes do you want to cook?"

"This Chinese New Year feast must be had, and it must have good meaning."

"May you have plenty every year, great luck, prosperity, prosperity, a bright future, wealth and fortune, a house full of gold and jade, good luck, reunion, good fortune, and soar to the sky..."

"Before the general was away, we only cooked a few dishes. If we cooked too much, everyone wouldn't be able to finish them. Old Chen, take a look at what you want to cook. I'll help you with some advice. Let's work together to make this year's New Year's Eve dinner a success."

Mr. Li is good at making noodles, but he is not good at delicate work like making pastries.

Originally, when Lu Ziren transferred Mr. Chen away, he felt a little indignant, but now he has completely accepted that everyone has their own strengths, and he is just working hard on his own strengths.

"Old man Li, did the madam and the general specify what dishes we must eat today?" Old man Li asked.

Someone standing by suddenly remembered this and immediately said to Mr. Li.

"Madam said that she must eat braised pig's head and fried pig's ears today."

By the way, pig heads are also used to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors.

It has become a normal habit for Xia Yingying to eat pig heads during the Chinese New Year. Even after her grandmother passed away, she still maintained this habit.

Xia Yingying lives with her grandmother in the countryside. The happiest thing every year is when they slaughter the pig. Xia Yingying's grandmother always saves the pig's head and cooks it on New Year's Day. The broth is used to cook noodles or vegetable soup, and the pig's head is first placed on the altar to offer to the ancestors and the heaven and earth.

A bowl of fried pig ears and a bowl of braised pig head are indispensable in the Chinese New Year meal.

This eating habit is engraved in Xia Yingying's bones. Even after her grandmother passed away, Xia Yingying would still recall the previous memories and know that she was still deeply loved. In this way, even when she was extremely anxious, a warm power would emerge in her heart, giving her the courage to keep moving forward.

"Okay, leave this matter to the old man. The taste of my braised pork head is still unique." Uncle Li and Mrs. Wang boasted about themselves like selling melons.

During this period, Xia Yingying and everyone in the family were busy and didn't eat well. Only today could they sit down and eat together properly.

The New Year's Eve dinner was slowly served. Because today was New Year's Eve, Xia Yingying also symbolically cleaned her room. Although someone cleaned the room every day, it was totally unnecessary for Xia Yingying to do so.

When the food was served, Xia Yingying didn't ask anyone to wait on them, so that they could also enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner.

Although they have no relatives or are not with their relatives, they are now gathered together for the New Year's Eve dinner, and they must have some topics of their own that they are unwilling to reveal in front of Xia Yingying and others.

Now was their private moment, and Xia Yingying respected them very much, so she let them go down and enjoy themselves.

And Xia Yingying is also going to enjoy her family's New Year's Eve dinner.

The family sat around the huge dining table. The first piece of fish that Lu Ziren picked up with chopsticks went into Song Ruyi's bowl, and the second piece went into Xia Yingying's bowl. Then he distributed the fish to everyone at the table one by one.

Xia Yingying looked at the people at the table, feeling mixed emotions.
