Everyone went to Wu's mother hot pot for a reunion dinner, and told everyone that they would come to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

The family listened to the sound of firecrackers one after another and returned home, took a bath and slept comfortably, Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang slept until Xiaodouzi came to call the door before getting up.

"Mom, Uncle Xiangyang, we've all had breakfast, and you haven't gotten up yet?"

"Get up!" Li Xiangyang got out of bed and got dressed, and said to Lin Lan, who got up and dressed, "Alas! I forgot to buy fish yesterday!"

There must be fish for Chinese New Year's Eve, and there will be more than enough every year!

Lin Lan thought for a moment: "I seem to have heard my father say that he has bought it, you go downstairs and take a look."

Li Xiangyang nodded, opened the door and saw that Xiaodouzi had already left, and when he went downstairs, he saw him holding a bubble cone and biting it.

"Douzi, did Grandpa come back from buying fish?"

"Bought it, a big carp, grandpa said to eat it at Chinese New Year's Eve."

"What's for breakfast?" Li Xiangyang said and walked towards the kitchen.

"Tangyuan! Grandpa rubbed it and left it for you." Xiaodouzi followed him, "Uncle Xiangyang, the younger brothers of Brother Dandan's family have all come out, why haven't our family come out yet?"

Li Xiangyang thought of Yang Dingbang's eight catties, and said with a smile: "Fool, my younger brother is still young, and he won't come out until next year."

"Oh! I'm going to my uncle's house to see my eight-pound brother."

The second child of Yang Dingbang's family was born eight catties, and the old lady gave him the name of eight catties, and now everyone calls it that.

"Go ahead!" Li Xiangyang took off the lid of the stove, the water in the pot quickly boiled, went out and rushed upstairs, shouting, "Xiaolan, can you eat the rice balls if I cook them?"

Lin Lan walked out: "It's enough to cook four!" The rice balls are all kneaded at home, and you can eat the filling inside when you bite into it.

Li Xiangyang was worried that she wouldn't be able to eat enough: "Cook you another poached egg in it?"

Lin Lan went downstairs with a smile: "There are so many snacks at home, are you still worried that I'm hungry?"

Li Xiangyang smiled: "You are now eating alone for two people, how can you not eat more?"

"I don't like eggs!" Lin Lan said and went to the kitchen, and saw that the rice balls had already been put into the pot, Li Xiangyang took a colander and stroked it in the pot to save the rice balls from sticking to the pot.

Li Xiangyang covered the pot and turned his head to look at her: "Xiaolan, how are you going to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"

Lin Lan thought for a while: "Sausages, bacon, cured chicken, and duck are standard for Chinese New Year's Eve rice!" Take another lump of beef out to thaw and braised it, and kill the rooster locked up in the backyard."

She thought for a moment, "I remember that my dad bought two catties of river shrimp that day, thawed a pack to make a salt-baked shrimp, I thought of these dishes, and left the rest to you, the chef, to think about it slowly."

"Good! Leave it to me." Li Xiangyang put the bowl on the edge of the pot, took out the floating rice balls and poured them into the bowl, "Exactly four!"

Lin Lan took the bowl and went to the dining table: "Xiaodouzi went to Dandan's house to see the eight catties again?"

I scooped up a rice ball with a spoon, and the black sesame filling flowed out in one bite, and after eating two bites, I felt that the rice ball core made of lard and oil residue tasted good.

Li Xiangyang came out with a bowl and sat opposite her: "Hmm! I also asked my younger brother Dandan has come out, why hasn't our family come out yet!"..

Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "I see that a few of them treat eight catties as a fun toy."

Li Xiangyang nodded: "That kid is chubby, it's really cute."

Lao Li walked in with a shower: "Xiangyang, I'll kill the chicken, and we'll start making the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner if you eat it."

"Good!"

After the two finished eating, Lin Lan said, "You go and help Dad remove the chicken feathers, and I'll wash the dishes."

"Hmm!" Li Xiangyang put down the bowl and left.

Lin Lan cleaned up the kitchen and went to the backyard with the vegetable basket, where the vegetables in the garden were full of chubby spores.

Li Xiangyang and Lao Li were sitting in front of the wooden basin, and the father and son were cleaning up the big rooster, and she said to the two, "I'll go cut two vegetables, and pull some green onions, shallots, and coriander!"

Li Xiangyang raised his head and advised, "Go slowly, slide carefully!"

"Got it!" Lin Lan picked two vegetables with particularly good spores and chopped them, plucked two white radish, a handful of spinach, and pinched a handful of pea tips into the vegetable basket before pulling onions and coriander.

After Li Xiangyang finished plucking the chicken feathers, Lao Li said, "I'll cut the chicken, you go and help Xiaolan bring the vegetables!"

"Hmm!" Li Xiangyang washed his hands and strode to the vegetable field, picked up the vegetables on the ground and put them in the vegetable basket, took the green onions pulled up by Lin Lan, and the two walked out of the vegetable field together.

Lao Li, who was cleaning the chicken offal in front of the sink, said to the two, "The kitchen stove is used to stew beef, and the sausages and cured goods are cooked in the earthen stove in the backyard."

Li Xiangyang nodded: "The stir-fried vegetables are also fried in the backyard, and the dishes stir-fried on the earthen stove are delicious!"

Lin Lan sat down on a bench and began to choose vegetables.

After a while, Xiaodouzi, Dandan, and Xiaohai ran in with balloons: "Mom, we want to set off artillery!"

Lin Lan shook her head: "You can't set off the artillery, it's troublesome to blow it up, go and play with the cannon in the back basket."

Dandan flattened his mouth: "Auntie, those children are setting off artillery, so you won't let us put it!"

Li Xiangyang said: "There is a reason why I don't play for you, either I will play the cannon or wait for the night to set off fireworks for you!"

When the children heard that there were fireworks at home, they jumped up for joy: "Okay, let's set off fireworks at night!"

Lin Lan saw that a few people ran out again, and hurriedly said, "Go out and stay away from those children who set off artillery!"

"Got it!" A few people ran away without looking back.

At noon, the family steamed rice, fried chicken offal, sliced vegetables, cooked ball soup and ate it.

After eating, Li Xiangyang began to roast beef, cook cured goods, and began to cook the last dish at more than two o'clock, watercress carp!

At three o'clock, the food at home is cooked, and the oily bacon, cured pork ribs, and sausages are brought to the table, followed by a platter of preserved chicken, preserved duck, and preserved goose......

Lao Li took a section of pork ribs and handed it to Xiao Douzi, and said with a smile: "It's so rich, we can't finish these dishes until the second year of junior high school!"

Li Xiangyang hurriedly said, "I'll take out the camera and take a picture."

Xiaodouzi picked up a chicken claw: "Uncle Xiangyang, I want to take a picture of a chicken claw."

Lin Lan laughed out loud after seeing it: "Naughty!"

Lao Li and Li Xiangyang couldn't help laughing: "If you like it, I'll take a picture of you, you can eat sausages and nibble on pork ribs!"

"Hmm!" Xiaodouzi took the chicken paw and followed Li Xiangyang upstairs.

After a while, the two went downstairs with their cameras.

Xiaodouzi pulled Lin Lan to take a picture, and then pulled Lao Li and Li Xiangyang to take a picture, and after taking one by one, he looked at the camera and made it difficult: "Mom, no one in our family takes pictures of us?"

Li Xiangyang rubbed his head: "When we go to work in the photo studio and take the film to develop the photos, we will go to the photo studio to take family photos!"

Xiaodouzi nodded again and again: "Well, take a family photo!"
