After some guidance from Laura, Shi Lei was mainly responsible for climbing up and down to hang lanterns or something, so after dressing up, the whole ranch had a strong festive atmosphere.

In fact, it is mainly decorated with various reds, but after passing through Laura's hands, these decorations are full of joy at the same time, but they do not look tacky. The two of them were busy for a while, and when they stopped to take a good look at the fruits of their labor, they were very surprised.

Originally, Shi Lei planned to call Colin and them to go to Los Angeles together to spend the Spring Festival in his parents' house. After all, it is much closer to Chinatown, and it seems to be more festive.

However, after Shi Lei knew the form of celebration over there, he dispelled this idea, because as always, there is only one form of celebration, that is, the parade, but this time it will be a Spring Festival parade that better reflects Chinese characteristics.

What kind of dragon and lion dances, more traditional projects will be shown, and this form of parade can allow more people to participate, but it is also a good form of celebration.

It's just that after Shi Lei came to Midi's side, he saw countless kinds of parades, and he was already a little aesthetically tired of it.

And there is another consideration, it doesn't matter where Shi Lei and Laura spend this Spring Festival, the key is how the elders spend it, which is what the two should focus on.

After all, the Spring Festival (is there going to be a reunion, the parents on both sides have to take care of it, only their two juniors are in front of them, so both sides have to do their best.

If you go to Shi Lei's parents' house, you will always feel a little awkward. So it's better to celebrate at the Stone Ranch.

And Shi Lei also has a consideration, there is a time difference of more than ten hours between Midi and China, and when the country arrives on the first day of the new year, it is reasonable to say that this side is actually only the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Therefore, Shi Lei can be on the ranch side, after the Spring Festival in China, and rush to Los Angeles. Continue to live the local Spring Festival of Midi.

Silently praise for his wit.

Mom and Dad arrived at the ranch early that afternoon, and Colin and Emily arrived on their feet. It's just that the old man came late, after all, the old man drove by himself, and he still had to be slower, and Chinatown was probably already very congested at this time.

Continuing the previous tradition, that night, that is, during the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve in China, the family sat together and had a good reunion dinner.

Colin and the others stayed until the next day. The family went to the screening room and watched the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala in China together, and lunch was naturally a dumpling.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, when Mi Di was just on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Shi Lei and the others prepared a sumptuous dinner, as well as various dumpling fillings and good noodles.

Mom, they called the family members of the ranch cowboys and started to clean up this Spring Festival feast together. Especially the job of making dumplings, everyone likes to see it.

Is it this handle is really different, Shi Lei is ready to drink a pot of vegetable soup.

Fortunately, my mother wittily prepared two cauldrons. A bite is specially used to make those more successful dumplings that they packed, and the rest of the pot is happy.

Although these people may not be strong, they will end up in pieces. But I have to say that they are all very distinctive.

This is simply the rhythm of domestic children doing handicrafts, and the shapes pinched out are really strange, and there are all kinds of things.

Some are pinched into the shape of a real caterpillar, and some are pinched into cubes. There are other butterflies, and there are triangles and other shapes, which really make people laugh.

Shi Lei just ran to the side silently. After laughing for a long time, he finally let himself tighten his face and continued to help roll the skin.

Shi Lei used to give his mother a lot, so this kung fu of rolling dough is still very passable.

Shi Lei kept rolling the rolling pin with his left hand, and stuffed a dough under the rolling pin with his right hand. While turning the dough, I kept rolling the rolling pin, and soon a dough with a uniform thickness and size was also appropriate, and the shape was still round.

Shi Lei used the power of his wrist to flick it lightly, and his face obediently flew to his busy mother.

And the speed of my mother is not to say, from the filling to the kneading into a complete dumpling, it is done in one go. The two of them are skillful when they cooperate, and soon a large piece of wrapped dumplings has been placed next to my mother.

And the others were still happily doing their own crafts over there. Some Shi Lei saw it very clearly, and he didn't even put the stuffing at all, it was purely a gnocchi.

However, the shape of the other party is quite exquisite, if Shi Lei is not mistaken, this should be the appearance of a red-lipped batfish.

Although judging from the process of making zuò, it seems that it was originally made into a noodle fish. Just doing it deviated, and after all kinds of joyful supplements, it became the appearance of these four dislikes. Shi Lei only felt that this was a mistake and a wrong move.

Seeing that the group of people on the opposite side were playing very happily, Shi Lei also ran to them after helping his mother.

Find a piece of dough and simply start your own handiwork. However, Shi Lei is different from them, they are all crooked, Shi Lei is purposefully making zuò according to his own ideas.

Shi Lei's target is a creature-looking creature. But Shi Lei's current strong ability to control the sea slug allowed him to make this Poseidon sea slug completely according to his own ideas.

This Shi Lei doesn't plan to cook it directly, he will go back and steam it out, and it is not bad to use it as an ornament.

After getting this guy, this happy group dumpling should also end.

Mom's side has already wrapped enough dumplings for everyone to eat, of course, it's not just Mom who does it alone, and Laura, who is also good at making dumplings, is also helping out. Emily's dumpling-making skills are also good, and the three of them are the main force of tonight's dumpling-making trip. If you can eat hot and complete dumplings tonight, you can count on a few of them.

As for the ones that other people wrapped, let's call them dumplings, let's cook them all. It would be nice to let them feel the happiness, and whether they can eat it or not is secondary.

Of course, you have to pick out the ones that seem to be more promising to keep a whole corpse first, and go down to the pot first, otherwise it will really be boiled into a pot of porridge.

Taking advantage of the gap before the dumplings came out of the pot, Shi Lei called all the old men present to the door together, and everyone lined up in a row.

After Shi Lei signaled, everyone called the long guns and short cannons they brought to raise them, and then there was a banging sound.

After everyone has exhausted all the bullets they have on hand, they make sure that their firearms are in a safe state, and then they take them back. Then go back to the variety of cuisines and get ready to start enjoying this more chic Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

This random shot can be regarded as a firecracker set off during the Chinese New Year. Isn't it too troublesome for Shi Lei to really set off a firecracker, it is troublesome to buy it, and it is troublesome to put it if you want to, you have to apply for it several times, go to the police for the record, and you have to communicate with the community management committee.

If you have to toss this kung fu, it's better to be like now, tell everyone, and bring your own guy to mess around.

Anyway, in Shi Lei's own private territory, everyone can't care about leaving others in the air. It's not a matter of raising a gun to shoot at each other, it's not a big problem, it's just to make a noise.

Of course, it is also easy to get a so-called electronic firecracker, download a crackling sound from the Internet, and put it off vigorously. But that thing doesn't sound interesting at all, it's just a trick to your ears.

It's like this gunshot, at least it's still very deterrent, and this random shooting is also very cool.

With such a happy mood, a group of people really started eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone held a plate and randomly selected their favorite food. Everyone never gets tired of eating the food made by my mother, and you can find different surprises every time.

Soon the dumplings were also out of the pot, and after the dumplings were brought to the table, everyone's laughter never stopped.

This contrast is too strong, and the ones that my mother packed were put away, and they were all thin and filling, and they were all solid.

The meat filling is used, so the filling in the middle is huddled, and while it tastes fragrant, the filling is also a little elastic, a little peeing cowball-like meatball, which is very comfortable to eat. There are also children who simply eat only the filling in the middle, and the dumpling skin is peeled off and put aside.

And those ranch people, improvised fancy dumplings, or simply dough, the appearance is simply miserable.

The first ones are a little better, especially those pure dough, which are basically all embarrassed, although the shape is still strange, so that the makers are embarrassed, but they can still see it.

The rest of the people don't know what they are. It's basically a pot of vegetable soup with messy dough sheets. This dough sheet is still unevenly thick, so it should be more appropriate to call it gnocchi soup.

These people who participated in the preparation of these pimple soups were laughing and laughing at each other for a long time. Of course, for those children's works, everyone unanimously adopted an attitude of encouragement.

Most of the things they make are pure gnocchi, so they have preserved them relatively intact, and they are proudly picking out their own works and comparing them with each other.

And the parents are also very cooperative, speculating about what the children's work is, such as the one composed of five round eggs, maybe a dog. After all, they don't have the habit of raising meows at home, so they have to make a bold guess.

Finally guessed the right one, and the parents immediately breathed a sigh of relief, not afraid of hurting the child's sensitive heart. And the child was there cheering, attracting the admiration of other friends.

When everyone played the dough guessing image game, and the game was almost over, the eldest old man Huang who was present picked up the wine glass in front of him and gave a toast enthusiastically. expressed the best New Year's wishes to everyone, and ushered in a warm applause from everyone.
