The Lu family had a lively New Year this year, and the family finally got together neatly. Lu's father was happy, and asked Lu Zheng to find a way to invite someone to take a family photo at home.

Lu's father's biggest hobby this Spring Festival is to hear people praise him for being blessed, saying that he has raised a good son and can now enjoy the blessings of his children. Mother Lu had to proudly show off all kinds of good things that Lu Zheng brought back in the village. Lin Damao and Lin Xiaomao also became the most popular figures among the children, because the two of them had the bullet casings brought back by their uncle, and the other children could only watch them show off with envy.

Lu Zheng was also busy, either this family invited him to drink, or that family invited him to dinner. He can't refuse yet, and he can't let people say that he doesn't recognize his poor relatives if he has a career as a cadre in the army now. Returning to his hometown can't make people point his nose and scold, there are still so many relatives and friends in his hometown, he can only go around among relatives.

Inviting guests to dinner during the New Year is a matter of men, the wine table is always a man's world, women with good conditions open another table in the side room, and those with poor conditions are crowded in the kitchen to make do with two bites. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to be treated differently, and she didn't want to take Lu Xuan out to be angry. Even if Lu Zheng is successful in the eyes of his relatives in his hometown, the fact that he has no son still makes many people point out, and some people even come up with the idea of letting him take his nephew to the city.

Lu Zheng went out to socialize, and the mother and daughter made all kinds of snacks at home, and the kitchen did not turn off the fire from morning to night. Lin Xiaoxiao is still reluctant to go out, how inconvenient it is to go out in winter. It had just rained, and I stepped on the mud when I stepped out, but this is not the concrete road in the city.

Lu Xuan doesn't like to go out either, wearing a scarf and gloves doesn't do much in the cold, there are snow beads floating in the sky from time to time, and the wind hurts like a knife on people's faces. The little girl honestly stayed at home to roast and eat, and called Lu Mei over to play together.

Zhou Xiaoli took her two sons and Lu Ming back to her parents' house together, leaving Lu Mei at home alone, and accompanying her grandparents in a beautiful name. Lu Mei sleeps every day, and spends the rest of her time with Lu Xuan, and she is reluctant to go back when it gets dark. Lin Xiaoxiao prepared a lot of snacks, what Lu Xuan did, she also prepared one for Lu Mei, which made Lu Mei even more reluctant to leave. Lu Mei always looked at Lu Xuan with envy, she couldn't wait to be able to exchange with Lu Xuan, she would be happy if she was her aunt's daughter.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know Lu Mei's thoughts, she was kind to Lu Mei just looking at the little girl pitiful. Lu Xuan didn't feel that she had anything to envy her cousin, she also envied her cousin for being able to play in the field every day. Her mother is strict with her, staring at her every day and making a lot of demands, and she has to learn foreign languages with her mother at a young age, she is also very worried! It would be nice if the time to learn a foreign language every day was replaced by storytelling, and every day before going to bed, she would ask her mother to tell bedtime stories, and now she can tell them to her cousin, who has never heard any of these stories, which is really pitiful!

Before the Lantern Festival, Lu Zheng finally finished all his relatives, including the kind of relatives who have been watching for three thousand miles in the past few years. This is all Lu's father's request, saying that he can't have a little money and don't recognize people. Lu Zheng has no ability or plan to open a back door for various relatives to go through the relationship, he can run a few more families, and he doesn't care about multiple relatives. Anyway, he only returned home once in a few years, and these old relatives in the family were all in contact with Lu's father.

Lu Zheng was ready to return to the army after the Lantern Festival, he ran to take the eldest sister's family back to his parents' house, and prepared to get together as a family to have a lively time. Lu Zheng ran to pick up Lu Hua and go home, earning enough face for her, so that everyone in Xiong Wei's village looked up to Lu Hua a few times. Lu Hua's younger brother has the ability and prowess outside, and he has a good relationship with Lu Hua, and the people in the village no longer dare to bully their family.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew Lu's mother's frugal nature, and she offered to arrange meals. So the family appeared at Lu Zheng's house on the day of the Lantern Festival. Lin Xiaoxiao brought out all the melon seeds, peanuts and candy snacks at home, and even prepared the fruits. These things were bought a few years ago, and when you leave, you can't finish eating them and give them away, so it's better to take them out generously and entertain guests.

The meal was prepared a day in advance, Lin Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen alone, Lu Mu and Zhou Xiaoli just didn't see it, but Lu Hua went in to help light the fire. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything at the time, and when she left, she secretly stuffed the candy and snacks that she couldn't eat at home to a few nieces, and took out a sweater that had never been in the water and gave it to Lu Hua.

Lu Hua didn't speak much, but he couldn't be grateful in his heart, knowing that this brother-in-law was good. She also received Lin Xiaoxiao's affection, and secretly decided that if there was anything that could help in the future, she must contribute.

The meals prepared by Lin Xiaoxiao made up all the chicken, duck and fish, and stewed a large pot of beef nan. There is no seafood in the interior, so she uses dried cuttlefish and pork knuckles to make soup for everyone to try. Lu Mu had never seen dried cuttlefish, and saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was preparing all hard dishes, and her face was full of distressed expressions. Although Lu's father was reluctant to eat and drink so much, this was eating at his son's house, and he couldn't criticize his daughter-in-law as a father-in-law.

Lu's mother said while eating, saying that Lin Xiaoxiao would not live, if it wasn't for the fact that she hadn't come out of the New Year, she would have wanted to scold. The rest of the family didn't care what Lu's mother said, they only knew to seize the opportunity to eat two more bites.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoli got on the table, she first put the good things into the big and small hair bowls. The bowl was piled up before she filled her bowl, not caring about the other people at the table. Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't see the appearance of her eating that she had never eaten in her life.

The other children in the family don't like big hair and small hair, and Lu Xuan doesn't like the two cousins who always like to rob her of things. She had something good in her hand and the brothers saw it and were about to snatch it, so she went to her grandmother to complain, and her grandmother asked her to let them.

Lu Xuan saw the vegetables piled up in the big Mao Xiaomao bowl, silently moved away from the riders, and decided to stay away from them, so that she would not be called a hairy monkey by the people in the village like her two cousins. Xiong Xin's three sisters don't fight or grab, they are used to being ignored at home.

Big hair and little hair are not sensible, and Lu Ming is reluctant to put chopsticks until his stomach is supported. Zhou Xiaoli is a little stronger than Lu Ming, but there are also a bunch of bones and sticks in front of her. Lu Ming saw that there were still a lot of good things on the table, so he simply let go of his trouser belt and ate again. Zhou Xiaoli was also reluctant to stop, and the couple competed to eat.

At the end of the meal, only Lu Ming and his wife were left at the table, and everyone else was full and put in the bowl. Lu Mei blushed as she saw that her parents were still eating. She felt so embarrassed that no one else was so greedy. Lu Mei felt embarrassed, Lu's father and Lu's mother just didn't see it, not to mention the big hair and small hair, it was good that they didn't follow the study.

Lu Hua looked at his eldest brother like this, and could only sigh secretly, they were all poor. The eldest brother is ugly when he eats, but who hasn't eaten anything good at home. She herself is not much better than the eldest brother and his wife, and she also eats an extra bowl of rice than usual.

Lu's father and mother had finished eating, and Lu Zheng beckoned everyone to move to the hall to chat over the fire. He didn't notice that Lu Ming ate too much, and so did Lin Xiaoxiao. That is, Lu Hua and Lu Mei thought a little too much.
