Listening to the New Year's bell outside, eating the soba noodles and rice cake soup in his mouth, Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh that the days were passing so fast, this was the second New Year he had spent since he came here.

Since the day before yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto have closed the store, given the clerks annual leave, and posted a holiday notice outside the gate.

This year, the couple has lived a very fulfilling life.

Although they are busy, the turnover figures on the accounts at the end of the year make them feel that even if they are busy, it is worth it.

The Fujimoto family's New Year is still very lively, with adults, the elderly, children, and pets gathering together to enjoy food and watch the red and white song party on TV.

Unlike previous years, this year's Fujimoto family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been replaced by a different person in charge.

Because the daughter has been engaged to the Ishikawa family's Katsura this year, the two families are now picking a good date and planning to hold a wedding for them.

Therefore, this may be the last New Year that Etsuko Fujimoto spent at her parents' house, so as a mother, Grandma Fujimoto feels that it is necessary to give her daughter, who is about to become someone else's daughter-in-law, a New Year's lesson for housewives.

Being a daughter-in-law at someone else's house is completely different from being a daughter at home, although Etsuko's in-laws are far away, and usually the young couple don't live in front of their in-laws.

But since she is married, there is always a time to go to her mother-in-law's house, whether it is to visit or take care of her, as the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, when she can't send her mother-in-law to cook, she is a junior sitting on the side waiting to eat ready-made.

Grandma Fujimoto can't control other people's daughters, but her own daughter must not be this kind of uneducated look.

So Grandma Fujimoto had already planned to take advantage of her daughter's annual leave to teach her all her specialties.

Etsuko Fujimoto really couldn't laugh or cry after knowing her mother's plan, she was indeed not good at cooking, but she was not a kitchen idiot, she would still cook some of the most basic meals.

So at first, when she heard that her mother was going to teach her how to cook, Miss Etsuko still didn't approve and said, "Mom, I can cook, you don't have to worry that I will starve Gui to death after I get married." You see, I've been working hard outside for so many years after graduating from college, and it's good to live alone without food, so don't worry about it. ”

Grandma Fujimoto scoffed at her daughter's answer and said very dissatisfied, "Do you know how to cook?" The ones you make are also called meals? Don't think I don't know what you do for Gui every morning, I saw it when I went. Just some baked bread, boiled eggs, a glass of hot milk and some vegetable leaves that I don't know what to mix with. Can eating those things regularly be nutritious? Don't you forget that Ah Gui teaches physical education, and he exercises so much every day, so you use these things to feed the rabbits to pass him away? I'm telling you, starving my son-in-law and you. ”

Hearing this, Etsuko Fujimoto was completely speechless about her mother's 'eccentricity', and she said weakly: "Mom, what you see is that breakfast is of course lighter, why don't you say that Ah Gui eats big fish and meat at school every day?" ”

Grandma Fujimoto said to the end with her eccentric eyes when she heard this: "Oh, boy, it's even sports again, what's wrong with eating some fish?" He is in good health, and my grandson and granddaughter will be strong in the future. ”

Miss Etsuko jumped to her feet when she heard the words and said, "Mom, you are my own mother, and I am your biological child, right?" ”

Grandma Fujimoto didn't care about her daughter's complaints at all, and said very calmly when she heard this: "Yes, that's why I want to teach you more." Otherwise, when you get to your mother-in-law's house, even if your mother-in-law is in charge of cooking, you, as a daughter-in-law, have to go over and help out, in case you can't even tell the difference between flour and starch at that time, wouldn't I have to lose face and throw it to my mother-in-law's side? ”

Miss Etsuko, who couldn't tell her mother, was defeated when she heard this, because she really couldn't figure out the difference between flour and starch.

So this year, the Fujimoto family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner changed the person in charge, and only followed her mother to learn a morning and afternoon Miss Etsuko, and temporarily took over the Fujimoto family's kitchen from her mother and sister-in-law.

Although there are still some doubts about the cooking skills of the novice chef, Xu Jie Xiang said that since it was taught by Grandma Fujimoto, it shouldn't be too bad, right?

What's more, although Miss Etsuko is in charge of the kitchen, Grandma Fujimoto and Mrs. Rie also stay in the kitchen to work and supervise the whole process.

So even if the food doesn't taste good, it should be edible, right?

Staring at the bowl of red, white and white rice cake soup in front of him, the tanuki cat who looked left and right but didn't dare to eat thought so.

Under Etsuko's expectant gaze, the rest of the Fujimoto family mustered up the courage to pick up the porcelain bowl containing the soup and put it into their mouths one by one.

Xu Jie watched on the side for a long time, and after making sure that no one vomited and no one looked weird, he buried his head in confidence and drank his own bowl.

Well, although it looks a little strange, it's still the taste of rice cake soup.

The tanuki cat chewing soft rice cakes in its mouth has two big red envelopes pressed under its paws, which contain the New Year's money that Grandma Fujimoto and the Fujimoto couple have just given it.

In the family, in addition to the little fat man and Junzi, the only one who can get cash red envelopes is a cat.

For other pets in the family, in addition to a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal, New Year's gifts are toys or blankets and other utensils.

The tanuki cat that is treated differently is so proud that it eats dinner with its tail cocked.

Meow, cats are so different.

The little black dango who celebrated the New Year for the first time felt very fresh about everything, and now it was curious to sniff around the Fujimoto family's New Year's decorations with its own nose, having already eaten dinner.

Xu Jie turned a blind eye to his kitten's performance, in his opinion, it was normal for children to be curious.

So the kitten, who was indulged by his father, sniffed all the way to his parents' side.

Looking at the kitten who was very close to him, Xu Jie raised his head and pushed his food plate and asked, "Meow, haven't you eaten yet?" Dad still has it here, so I'll eat some more when I'm hungry. ”

The little black cat, who had already eaten a lot, shook his head when he heard this, and then used his paws to pull the two New Year's red envelopes that were pressed under his father's body.

"Meow, Dad, what's this?" The kitten, tilting its head, asked curiously.

Hearing this, the tanuki cat licked the rice cake soup on her lips and replied, "This is the New Year's money that Grandma Fujimoto and the Fujimoto couple gave to the cat." ”

"What is New Year's money, can you eat it?" Hearing his father's answer, the kitten, who was even more curious, asked.

Hearing this, the tanuki cat wagged its tail, organized the vocabulary in its head, and then said to the kitten: "New Year's money is a kind of New Year's etiquette, which is given by the elders to the younger generations. Most of the time, parents or elders among relatives and friends will put some money in red envelopes and give them to younger generations during the Chinese New Year, in order to be auspicious. Because the bread in the red envelope is money, although it cannot be eaten directly, it can be used to buy things. ”

Xu Jie thought that after listening to his explanation, the kitten would look at him with adoration with shiny cat eyes like in the past.

Who expected that this time the kitten was not like this, after listening to its own explanation, it looked at the red envelope to look at itself, to see that it was looking at the red envelope, and then the triangular cat ears hung down, looking wilted.

The tanuki cat was startled when she saw this, and thought that the kitten was suddenly uncomfortable, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, why are you suddenly listless?" ”

When the kitten heard this, he turned his head to look at Junzi and Little Fatty, and saw that they were carrying big red envelopes in their pockets, and he was even more depressed.

Xu Jie was really anxious when he saw this, his kitten was so lively that he couldn't do it from the beginning of his voice, and he had never looked like he was hanging his head like today, what happened to this child?

Under the tanuki's eager continuous questioning, the little black cat said: "Dad, you just said that the red envelope is something given to the junior Tujili by the parents and elders, in that case, why didn't the kitten have it?" Doesn't Dad want to be lucky with cats? Definitely not, so have you forgotten something? ”

The tanuki cat was silent for a long time when it heard this, and now it really wants to give its mouth a few paws, so that it is so cheap, and what kind of New Year's money does it say to the kitten, now it is good to collect debts.

Isn't the cat only two years old this year? Why do you want to send out New Year's money from this age?

Aren't all human children at this age supposed to be dressed up by their parents to go out to earn extra money? Why did it become that there were already kittens coming to ask me for New Year's money?

Although she thinks so, the tanuki still wants her kitten to be happy.

It silently got up and sent the two red envelopes that were pressed under its paws and had not yet been warmed to its kitten.

Meow, looking at the appearance of the dumplings, I really care about what the cat just said, so the red envelope should be given.

The kitten who received the New Year's blessing from the raccoon flower father smiled very happily, and according to the appearance of the little fat man and Junzi in his memory when he received the New Year's money, he stumbled and said to Xu Jie: "New Year... Daji, Gong.. Wishing you prosperity. ”

The raccoon cat, who heard the blessing of his kitten, immediately lost his depression in his heart, got up and hugged his kitten and licked it violently, meowing while licking.

Meow ~ ~ Meow ~ Meow Meow, our family's dumplings are smart, and these auspicious words are learned just by listening to one side.

The kitten licked by the tanuki father was also very happy, and it felt that it had done something right, so after Xu Jie sent it over, the group immediately trotted to the side of Dahei's father.

The big black cat, which is very indifferent to the human New Year, is the same as last year, and basically serves as a set board the whole time.

So when the kitten ran over happily, saying auspicious words in his mouth, staring at himself with shining eyes, and looking forward to getting the blessing of the New Year's money from it, the big black cat, which had always been motionless, had a rare bewildered expression on his face.

"Wha." The Fujimoto family, who had watched the whole process on the side, leaned back and smiled together, and the tanuki cat covered its fat face with its paws, looking like it couldn't bear to look at it directly. 166 Reading Network
