() In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Yu Jiangbin's family naturally followed Yu's father and mother here to celebrate the New Year. Zhang Yuan wanted to go back to her parents' house to see, why the weather was not good, the sky was gloomy in the morning, and it didn't take long for small snowflakes to float, the ground was wet and slippery, Yu Jiangbin said that she would not let her out, Grandma Zhang also called and said that the road was too slippery and asked her not to come out, and the old lady also specially steamed a pot of rice cakes, bean buns and the like to send ** over. Zhang Yuan had no choice but to stay here with peace of mind.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the main task is to "eat", and the Yu family is no exception. Breakfast is fried by Yu's mother a day earlier, full of a large pot of oil cake and hemp leaves, which are the traditional festival food of Yu Jiangbin's hometown, the oil cake is fried with hot noodles wrapped in bean paste filling, the skin is crispy, the inside is glutinous, the filling is sweet and greasy, it is quite delicious when it is just fried, Zhang Yuan and Maomao ate a lot of hot yesterday. Hemp leaves are also a crispy and delicious fried pasta. Both are characterized by large oil, and they feel delicious at first, but they can't eat too much. Because they ate a lot the day before, Zhang Yuan and Maomao got tired of eating a little this morning, and it was still cold, so Yu Jiangbin had to get them some porridge and side dishes. Yu's father muttered that there was no rule for eating for the New Year, and he didn't eat traditional food and wanted to drink what kind of porridge for Lao Shizi, but he also drank some, and it was really more comfortable in his stomach than eating oil cakes and the like. It's just that the old man has a hard mouth, and he doesn't drink less porridge, but he refuses to change his words.

After breakfast, Zhang Yuan put the peanuts, melon seeds, pine nuts, pistachios, raisins, toffee and other candies prepared at home on a colorful glass plate on the large coffee table for guests, and Yu's mother brought melons, fruits, pears and peaches over with fruit plates.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the fruit and asked, "Mom, has this fruit been washed?" ”

Yu's mother was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you have to peel the skin anyway, what is there to wash." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "How can it be done? That's unhygienic. ”

Yu's mother pursed her lips and reluctantly brought the fruit bowl back to the kitchen. When Yu Jiangbin saw it, he took the plate in his mother's hand, put it back on the table, and said to Zhang Yuan in a round game: "Is it just for a show." Just wash it when it's time to eat. ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at him, thinking about the New Year, so he didn't say anything.

Next up is lunch. The chef of this lunch is Yu Jiangbin, he also put in some effort, from the breakfast began to prepare, Yu's mother gave him a hand, the mother and mother worked all morning, enough to make up enough ten dishes, meat dishes include sweet and sour fish, saliva chicken, salt and pepper prawns, boiled meat slices and Zhang Yuan's favorite green onion fried beef, vegetarian dishes are cashew fruit celery, tomato scrambled eggs and stir-fried bamboo shoots, originally Yu Jiangbin also planned to fry a small rape, make a shredded yam, Yu Mu said that just a few people can't eat so much, so it was changed to a preserved egg and fruit platter to make up the number. The staple food is the pasta dessert sent by Grandma Zhang, which is also enough. This is completely prepared according to the standard of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because the rule of Yu Jiangbin's hometown is to eat dumplings at night, so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is mentioned at noon.

The meal is served, and the family sits down around the table. Yu Jiangbin opened a bottle of aged wine, poured a glass for the old man first, and then filled it himself. Zhang Yuan, Yu Mu and Mao Mao each have a bottle of yogurt. Everyone toasted together, first the old man made a year-end summary, and then Mao Mao gave everyone a New Year's message, and then waited for Yu's father to move the first chopsticks, and the meal officially started.

Yu Jiangbin's skills are very good, but unfortunately the old rule of the Yu family is that men do not enter the kitchen. Yu Jiangbin's hand also began to develop freely after leaving his parents. So usually at home, Yu's mother cooks, Mao Mao and Zhang Yuan haven't eaten Yu Jiangbin's cooking for several days, and this meal is extraordinarily unproductive, fortunately, there are many dishes, or according to the posture of the two of them, the old couple may only be able to drink some soup. Although Yu's father and mother were a little unimpressed with their son's cooking, when they tasted the chopsticks, they understood why the old in-laws and the family had to let their son cook, it was really fragrant!

After a meal, the dishes have been eaten, and there are naturally a lot of dishes and dishes that need to be washed, Zhang Yuan got up to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by everyone, Yu's father wanted to leave Yu Jiangbin to taste tea, and finally Yu's mother rolled up her sleeves to clean up. Zhang Yuan took Maomao to watch TV in the small living room, Maomao ate a lot, shouting that her stomach was uncomfortable, Zhang Yuan went to the drawer of the TV table to find him a diet tablet, and when she bent down, she didn't feel anything, and when she straightened up again, she felt that something was wrong, fortunately, she had given birth to a child, and she was from obstetrics and gynecology, so she was busy holding on to the wall and yelling at Yu Jiangbin to come out. When the family heard this, they all ran out, and Zhang Yuan told everyone that she was going to give birth, and asked Yu Jiangbin to send her to the hospital quickly. Yu's father and mother also had to follow, Zhang Yuan said no, just let them take care of Maomao. Yu Jiangbin came out with his delivery bag and drove to the hospital with Zhang Yuan.

Although it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the obstetrics and gynecology department was not deserted, Zhang Yuan went in to say hello to her colleagues, and the doctor on duty checked her and said with a smile: "The second elder of your family is still an acute child." He pushed her straight into the operating room. Because it was the second child, the child was born naturally in less than half an hour. "It's a little princess, this time you have both children and daughters." A room full of people smiled and said to Zhang Yuan. Outside the delivery room, Yu Jiangbin didn't wait much before he saw the midwifery nurse come out with the child in her arms. While handing it to him, he asked him to eat candy.

Back in the ward, after placing the adults and children, Yu Jiangbin hurriedly called the old people on both sides to report the good news. Yu's mother asked if she wanted to send some food, Yu Jiangbin replied that there was no need, there was a restaurant in the hospital, he just bought a little, Yu's mother was not familiar with the place when she first came, so she didn't need to run out again for the New Year.

When Grandma Zhang got the news, she was full of joy and immediately turned on the fire to cook and make soup, and specially placed a small pot of dumplings, and then packed them in an insulated lunch box. The old lady wrapped her coat and scarf, and the couple dressed their children properly, and the family went out with food. **No car, everyone can only walk, fortunately, the third courtyard of the city is not far from their home, and they will arrive after strolling.

It was about to get dark, and the small snowflakes were still floating quietly, and the road was extremely deserted. It was the first time Dudu saw such a clean market, and he jumped and ran on the road with joy, and the adults did not stop him, so he ran away. Although there are not many people, the lintels of every house are pasted with festive blessing characters and couplets, and many shops are lit with red lanterns that stay bright all night, lined with fluttering fine snow flakes, which look more and more ruddy and warm in the dim twilight. Although the road was a little slippery because of the light snow, the family walked happily on the road, and Qi Lingjuan also made an exception to support Grandma Zhang with **, which made the old lady feel that this part of the road was extra safe and very gratifying.
