Chapter 221: Happy New Year

The arrival of Zheng Lao made the Chu family lively again. Many people came to visit the door, and learned that it was Grandma Chu's eldest brother who came, and those of the older generation came to talk to him.

Last time, Mr. Zheng lived in the Chu family for a lot of time and met a lot of old friends. This time, when I learned that he was coming for the New Year, I came to see him, not to mention, but also to bring my own agricultural products.

Zheng Lao happily accepted the things, and also took out the things he brought and distributed them to them.

One morning, Sheng Siyan couldn't interject, and listened to the old people talking to Zheng Lao next to him. Chu Anran was naturally busy in the kitchen, and he was busy until noon, making a lot of dishes out.

Grandpa Chu also deliberately left several old people who came to talk to Elder Zheng for dinner. This is thanks to the Chu family's sufficient New Year's goods this year, otherwise it would not be enough to eat.

After eating, Chu Anran said a few words to Zheng Lao, and then didn't stay any longer, and went back to Fengcheng directly with Sheng Si.

Jiang Qiulan was a little unhappy when she saw that they had only come back at this time. I said it was good before, and I would come back after breakfast. She also specially prepared lunch at home, but who would have thought that they would come back after eating.

"Mom, I'm sorry, An Ran's uncle is here, and I accompanied him to have a meal."

"Uncle? The one in the capital? "Jiang Qiulan has heard of Grandma Chu's eldest brother, and she lived in the Chu family for a lot of time last time. Knowing that the two of them didn't come back on purpose, Jiang Qiulan's face was a little better.

In the afternoon, Chu Anran helped Jiang Qiulan fry a lot of balls together. This is the specialty of this place, and you have to make croquettes during the New Year.

The material was mixed by Chu Anran, and the taste was very good, Jiang Qiulan praised her for a while. In the past, she couldn't look down on Chu Anran anywhere, but now when she puts aside her prejudices and looks at it again, she finds that Chu Anran is much better than An Ning. At least, she won't just talk about it, and she will do the work in the kitchen.

It's like tranquility, there will only be one mouth, and nothing else. Now I heard that she didn't even recognize her mother, and she was enjoying happiness in the capital, but she drove her mother out.

In her opinion, no matter what, Liu Chunhong is also An Ning's mother, and she is the only daughter, how can she still rush people during the New Year.

Regarding Jiang Qiulan's exaggeration, Chu Anran just listened to it. It is impossible for her and Jiang Qiulan to be the kind of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who are as close as mother and daughter, as long as they can get by on the big picture.

For the next few days, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy at home. Sheng Siyan and his father were not idle, the women were busy with things in the kitchen, and they were busy with other things, such as cleaning the house and doing some heavy work.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. As I said before, Sheng Siyan and Chu Anran went back to Chu's house for dinner at noon, and dinner was eaten at Sheng's house.

Because of the arrival of Zheng Lao, Grandma Chu also made a special call and asked Jiang Qiulan and Sheng Aimin to go to Chu's house for lunch together.

The two of them wanted to go, but the preparations at home were not ready. If they all go, they probably won't be able to eat at night.

Therefore, the two rejected Grandma Chu's kindness and said that they would go back after the New Year. The parents didn't go, and Sheng Siyan and Chu Anran were not reluctant, even if they didn't care whether the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was earlier or later.

When Chu Anran and Sheng Si arrived, their mother and grandmother had already prepared almost the dishes, as long as they were fried in the pot.

In charge of this kind of thing, Chu Anran is duty-bound. Because there were a lot of dishes, Chu Anran was afraid that when the rice was all ready, it would be cold if the food was ready. So, halfway through the cooking, I let my father cook first and let the men eat first.

However, she kept a part of each dish and ate it when she was done.

Fortunately, Chu Anran's speed is also quite fast, plus the men in the family are drinking, the dishes are not moved much, and when she is served, the dishes are still warm.

The meal was a bit long, starting at half past eleven and continuing until half past two. Because he was in a hurry to go back, Chu Anran and Sheng Siyan left after eating, and they didn't even help clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Jia didn't blame them, knowing that they were going back, and urged them to leave early. She has also been someone's daughter-in-law, and it is already very good to know that Chu Anran and they can come back for lunch during the New Year. It is also the son-in-law who takes a fancy to his daughter, otherwise who will let the daughter-in-law go back to her parents' house during the New Year. Even if you want to go back, you have to wait until the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Chu Anran knew what his mother was worried about, so he packed up his things and left. When I was leaving, I was stuffed with a lot of things by my mother, what kind of buckle meat, meatballs.

When she returned to the Sheng family, Jiang Qiulan saw that the two of them had brought a lot of cooked vegetables back, as long as they processed them, she couldn't be happy.

Seriously, her cooking skills are not very good, and she didn't get much of anything with Chu Anran's help before. Now, my mother-in-law has come back with so many dishes, and I can make a few more dishes tonight.

It was not too early when he went back, Chu Anran sat for a while, and then he and Jiang Qiulan began to get busy. Sheng Siyan watched and also went into the kitchen to help. Thanks to the large kitchen of the Sheng family, otherwise there would be no more than three people.

Let's do it together, it's a lot faster. But even so, by the time the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten, it was already eight o'clock.

There are not many people in the family, and before eating, Sheng Siyan and Jiang Qiulan said a few words, nothing more than hoping that the coming year will get better and better. Jiang Qiulan also said one more thing, that is, she hoped that Sheng Siyan and Chu Anran would be affectionate and loving.

Hearing this, both of them were a little embarrassed, but they still thanked Jiang Qiulan.

After the elders finished speaking, they began to eat. A total of 10 dishes were made in the evening, which means perfect. After eating, Chu Anran helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, sat down to rest and keep the New Year.

It's just that she was busy with two meals today, and she didn't rest much, so she soon became sleepy. Jiang Qiulan saw it and said directly: "Your father and I can just keep the New Year, you go back to the house to rest." ”

Chu Anran was indeed sleepy, and he was not polite, so he thanked him and went back to the room directly. Sheng Siyan also knew that Chu Anran was tired and distressed, so he directly accompanied Chu Anran back to the room.

Back in the room, the two washed up, Sheng Siyan said to Chu Anran: "Daughter-in-law, you are tired today, I'll help you press it." ”

"Okay!" Someone helped with the massage, and if he didn't press it, Chu Anran agreed with a smile. Sheng Siyan's movements at the beginning were very light, and Chu Anran was very disgusted. In the end, under her instructions, Sheng Siyan increased his strength. As the strength increased, Chu Anran couldn't help but hum.

Listening to this ambiguous voice, Sheng Siyan was speechless, and directly warned: "Daughter-in-law, if you call it like that again, I won't be able to bear it for a while." ”

Chu Anran didn't pay attention to him, how comfortable he was. It's just that soon, she found out that Sheng Siyan was not honest.
