Boiled meat, boiled skin jelly, croquettes, fried mushrooms and dried fruits, time passed quickly in the busy, and in a blink of an eye, it was already 30 Chinese New Year's Eve.

As soon as breakfast had been eaten that morning, Qu Weiyang led his children and grandchildren to work outside, and the new lantern pole was erected and a string of red silk lanterns were hung.

It's not a candle, it's all electric light, just plug it in at night, it's safer than candles.

Under the eaves of the courtyard, there are all kinds of colorful string lights, needless to say, this is naturally made by Qiaolian.

Chinese New Year, there is going to be a New Year's atmosphere, just a string of red lanterns is enough, such a big yard, you still have to make up it.

The door is pasted with a couplet, which was written by Jiahe.

Jiahe's brush writing is very good-looking, and the couplets written with a large bucket pen are majestic and majestic, and anyone who sees them praises.

The door, door, and warehouse are all pasted with couplets, and the word "Fu" is pasted everywhere.

On the door frame, a row of colorful hanging money is pasted, and on the windows of each house, there are red window flowers, and the courtyard is full of the taste of the New Year, festive and lively.

The children helped with the work, and when they had nothing to do, they lit a few firecrackers in the yard.

The boy was so bold that he didn't hide when he lit the firecracker, he just smiled and watched, and the girl wanted to see it and was afraid, so she had to stay away and cover her ears with her hands.

As the firecrackers exploded, the girls also screamed, causing the boys to laugh for a while.

Outside, the children were laughing and playing, happy and happy, and in the kitchen, Qiaolian led her daughter and daughter-in-law, and began to do all kinds of busy work.

This year's reunion is rare, and the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner must be particularly rich.

Qiao Lian discussed the menu with her daughters-in-law and set eighteen dishes, so she prepared them according to the menu, and she was the same busy.

The kitchen is busy, and there is also a pot stove in the east and west wings, so I do it over there, anyway, in winter, it doesn't matter if I burn a little more fire, the house is warm.

Qiao Lian and the others began to work at eleven o'clock, and it was not until about two o'clock in the afternoon that the meals were ready.

"Quick, go wash your hands, the reunion dinner is about to start, there are a lot of dishes today, who can't eat if they're late."

When the meal was ready, Wanying came out and called the children into the house to eat.

As soon as they heard that the meal was ready to eat, they hurriedly stopped, and all rushed into the house, quickly washing their hands and helping to serve the food.

There were many people in the family, and it took three tables to barely squeeze them open, and a plate of dishes full of color and fragrance was served on the table, but fortunately, the table was not small, and eighteen dishes were finally put away.

Qu Weiyang took out the drink he had bought a few days ago and distributed a few bottles to each table.

"This is just coming out, what is it called hawthorn beer, I don't know if it's wine or drink, anyway, this thing is selling well this year.

I found someone and brought two boxes back, let's drink this today, and taste what it tastes like. ”

Hawthorn beer, a drink that has just emerged this year.

It is said to be a drink bar, there are hops in the ingredient list, and it is said to be a bar, and there is no alcohol.

It is said that this thing is very delicious, anyway, a batch of them came to the county this year, and they were all sold out, and many people bought them.

At this time, the two boxes were not cardboard boxes, but twenty-four bottles of the kind similar to beer boxes, one bottle of hawthorn beer 640 milliliters, this box was very heavy.

Qiao Lian glanced at this hawthorn beer, and she was also quite emotional, she also drank this thing when she was a child in her previous life, a proper childhood memory.

If you talk about it, this thing is actually a carbonated drink, don't you see that there is carbon dioxide on the ingredient list?

However, because there are hops in it, it has a little bit of a beer flavor, and it has a different taste than ordinary carbonated drinks and sodas.

I haven't seen it in many years.,To be honest, I'm really a little miss.,I don't know.,This thing still isn't the flavor in my memory.。

"Come, come, get up quickly, and then pour a glass for each person, let's all taste it, what does this thing taste like."

You little dolls, take it easy, there may be wine in this thing, don't drink too much, what if you get drunk? ”

Qiaolian gave the children a vaccination in advance and did not allow them to drink too much.

Because she really couldn't remember whether there was alcohol in this thing.

When she drank it for the first time, it was also the Chinese New Year, and her family bought it back.

At that time, I only felt that the sweet and sour was particularly delicious, as if I drank a lot, and I slept for a long time in the afternoon, and woke up to listen to the elders in the family say that it was wine.

At that time, she remembered that she didn't dare to drink it again, and later when she grew up, she looked at the ingredient list and the label, but she didn't find the alcohol content.

So she never figured out whether this hawthorn beer had any alcohol or not.

Whether there is it or not, even if there is not, carbonated drinks are not suitable for children to drink more, so Qiaolian just scared the children so that they did not dare to drink more.

When the children heard that there was wine in the red drink in front of them, they couldn't help but shrink their shoulders and stick out their tongues, but there was a little excitement in their hearts.

I've grown so big that I can finally drink alcohol once, oops, what should I do if I'm so excited?

"Come, come, it's all full, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is the first time in several years that our family is so complete."

In particular, Siping and Susanna's family are also celebrating the New Year in our house, and our family is the most lively this year.

Come, everyone picks up their cups, let's take a sip together, and jointly wish our country to become more and more prosperous and strong, and we all get better and better, and wish the children all health and happiness.

Finally, I wish you all a Happy New Year. "Qu Weiyang is the head of the family, and he deserves to carry the first cup.

So, everyone raised their cups and celebrated the arrival of the New Year, "Yes, Happy New Year, good luck, all the best." ”

Everyone responded in unison, and then each took a sip of the drink in his cup.

"It's a good thing, sweet and sour, it seems to have a little bit of wine, well, okay, it's good." Qu Weiyang took a sip and thought it was okay, it was delicious.

The children couldn't taste the meaning of whether there was alcohol or not, they just thought that the drink was sweet and sour, and it tasted great.

So someone secretly took another sip, oops, it's so delicious, it's better than soda, it's really good.

"Come, come, eat with chopsticks, this year's reunion of our family, I have specially prepared eighteen dishes.

Whatever you want to eat, if you can't reach it, let the people next to you help you clip it, but today it's open enough to eat, and you can eat as much as you want. ”

Qiao Lian was happy in her heart, and the smile on her face never stopped, and she was even happier at this time, beckoning the big guy to hurry up and move the chopsticks to eat.

Suzanne and Chen Siping were also a little dumbfounded when they saw so many dishes on the table, and they didn't know which one to eat first.

"Second sister, your whole meal is too grand, there are so many delicious dishes in front of you, I really don't know what to eat."

Suzanne looked at the various dishes in front of her, and felt that her eyes were a little insufficient, and she really didn't know which one to eat first.
