Chapter 62: The Year

Li Qing and Cheng Jin's daughter-in-law went to the kitchen to see if they wanted to help, and helped Jiang Cui in the kitchen.

Ouyang and Chengjin were busy pounding the paste and pasting the Spring Festival couplets.

Meng Meng and her cousins play poker at the gate.

At eleven o'clock at noon, Jiang Cui ordered a small pot of noodles, and the chicken soup was also stewed in a large iron pot, and Jiang Cui went to the door to call everyone

"You eat first, it's still early to eat."

The Ouyang brothers pushed Ouyang Lei to the small kitchen table, Cheng Jin picked up a big bowl, and served a bowl of noodles with chicken soup, Jiang Cui said

"Don't give him so much, he doesn't know how much, he can eat as much as you want, and the amount of food is very large"

"Mom, I'll serve less, I'll skim off the oil floating on it"

"It's not that you don't give him food, don't you usually give him all the meat that people buy at home, and don't you give him all the stew."

Jiang Cui squinted at Ouyang Lei.

After eating the noodles, the Ouyang brothers carried Ouyang Lei back to the backyard hut and lay down to rest.

Sitting for too long was worried that Ouyang Lei's body would not be able to bear it.

I was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Cui asked

"Ouyang, you're all done, we're ready to have a New Year's dinner."

"Okay"

Li Qing and Ouyang found a rag, carefully wiped the square table and wooden stool in the hall, and put a large log tabletop.

Place it on a square table, spread a big red tablecloth, and place the round glass turntable in the center.

Two alcohol stoves poured some alcohol, lit it, put it on the table, the soup in the two small iron pots was hot, a beef pot, a hen soup, braised and stir-fried dishes were served on the table, and a plate of fish had to be put on the table.

The Ouyang brothers carried Ouyang Lei from the backyard hut to the table in the hall and sat down on a chair with armrests on both sides.

Jiang Cui first sandwiched three braised chicken thighs to each of her grandchildren.

"You three study hard and go to university."

The three children smiled and nodded, Jiang Cui greeted everyone,

"You all eat"

"Eat, hehe"

Jiang Cui picked up Ouyang Lei's bowl and scooped some soup into it with a spoon.

"Eat!"

glanced at Ouyang Lei, who was sitting beside him.

Brother Ouyang raised his glass and toasted Ouyang Lei's wine,

"Don't give him drink!"

"Dad loved to drink a few sips when he was young, and during the Chinese New Year, he drank a small cup to invigorate his blood and warm his body."

Ouyang Xu said

"I remember one time, when we were still young and still studying, my father and my fourth aunt drank from noon to four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh my God!"

"At that time, there were no appetizers, just a plate of peanuts and a plate of pickled peppers."

The corners of Jiang Cui's mouth curled, and a trace of softness flashed in her eyes,

"Your fourth aunt is a lively person."

Li Qing listened while picking up chopsticks, holding some light dishes into his mouth, laughing and laughing from time to time, catering to Jiang Cui and Ouyang's words.

Speaking of the past, Ouyang Lei's heart was sour, he lowered his head and cried, as soon as he cried and was excited, his throat was easy to choke, and the corners of his mouth were full of rice grains.

"Look, disgusting man, I have to let him sit at the table."

Li Qing turned around and went behind him, took a pack of paper towels from the book press, handed it to Ouyang, and Ouyang took a paper towel to wipe the rice from the corner of Ouyang Lei's mouth.

"Dad, give you some easily digestible vegetables to eat, balls, vegetables"

Ouyang looked at Meng Meng and his nephew and niece,

"You take a cup to your grandparents, grandparents took you when you were a child"

"Oh . . . Oh"

Meng Meng was the first to stand up and pick up her drink,

"I wish grandma a long and healthy life"

"The eldest granddaughter studies hard"

Chengjin's son and daughter also picked up drinks one after another to accompany their grandparents for a drink.

Meng Meng and her cousins and cousins successively paid tribute to Ouyang Li Qing and Cheng Jin.

"Hmmm! Mengmeng, you three are doing well."
