1602。

"Cheers!"

All four held warm eggnog and toasted to the safe end of the year.

Lin Wanqiao took a big sip, beat the eggs with rice wine, and entered the throat, which was not as punchy as ordinary wine, sweet and silky, and warm to the stomach.

"Wow~ It's delicious."

At this moment, the four of them are in Lin Wanqiao's small room, eating together around a small table ~fire~pot~.

That's right, winter is the best match for hot pot.

The soup base is still Lin Wanqiao's favorite four-square grid.

Spicy soup base, mushroom soup base, tomato soup base and clear soup.

The cassette stove burns brightly under the hot pot, and the soup in the pot is tumbling and fragrant.

Lin Wanqiao spent a lot of money on this meal, and the side dishes were set on a full table.

Meat dishes include fatty beef, mutton, pickled pork belly, hairy tripe, yellow throat, duck intestines, shrimp slippery, and meatballs.

Vegetarian dishes include tofu, enoki mushroom, duck blood, bean sprouts, baby cabbage, chrysanthemum, kelp, and wide noodles.

There are also ready-made dishes, such as Shen Shaoyu's specialty risotto, grilled opium fish head, foie gras salmon cold cuts, and Lin Wanqiao's favorite taro balls and roasted fairy grass.

How can you eat hot pot without dipping sauce, hoisin sauce, mushroom sauce, vinaigrette, and dry dishes are all available.

Even the dog doesn't have to eat dog food today, the meat is full.

Since her rebirth, Lin Wanqiao has never eaten so heartily.

The pork belly is fat and thin, and it has been marinated early, even if it is not dipped in the sauce, it is fragrant.

The best hairy belly can be eaten directly after being soaked in the bottom of the spicy pot for eight seconds, crispy, tender and spicy, fragrant and appetizing.

Lin Wanqiao has been cooking since the banquet began.

Put enough red oil and chili peppers in the spicy pot.

Lin Wanqiao was so spicy that she was 'Sihasha', and she inhaled and showed off her vegetables. It's so spicy, take a bite of burnt fairy grass to relieve the spiciness, and then continue.

A few glasses of wine were down, and a few people began to go up.

Especially the two old men.

Liu Jian'an raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with Shen Shaoyu.

"Ah Yu, you have been here for more than half a year, grandpa look, you are a good boy, smart, capable, and practical, Qiao Qiao follows you, and your grandma and I can rest assured in a hundred years."

Shen Shaoyu was a little shy holding the cup, and held back four words for a long time.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Yang Yujun helped on the side: "Your grandfather is right, during this time, we all treat you as our own family, the family doesn't talk to each other, you and Qiaoqiao are not young, although the world is not good now, but our family is still passable, when are you and Qiaoqiao going to ......"

"Grandma." Lin Wanqiao suddenly said angrily, "It's so dignified, what are you doing here, isn't it good for us to do this?" ”

Yang Yujun remembered Lin Wanqiao's previous fate, and suddenly felt a little sad.

"You grew up in front of me, your parents...... Your grandfather and I are both old, and I just hope to see you have a good home before we go to the ground. Forget it, you young people have your own ideas, and your grandfather and I will talk about it casually. ”

Speaking of her parents, Lin Wanqiao was a little cold.

Shen Shaoyu saw that the atmosphere was about to change from joy to sadness, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, grandma, isn't it time to light the New Year's lamp?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, it's time." Yang Yujun patted his head, "Jian'an, where are the radishes and candles?" ”

The New Year in City C is a bit of a New Year's custom.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, each family lights up the New Year's lantern, also known as "Illuminating the New Year". It is to use a red candle to insert it on the radish cut into blocks, and place it in the corner, the side of the column, the stove, the cylinder head, the side of the column, etc., the candle flower announces the good news, the light fills the room, and the red fire means prosperity and auspiciousness.

In previous years, it was Lin Wanqiao's responsibility to light the New Year's lamp, but this year Shen Shaoyu added it.

They first cut all the turnips into pieces, then put candles in them, lit them, and placed them one by one in all corners of the house.

Bedroom, kitchen, stove, bathroom, balcony......

Slowly, the whole house emits a soft glow in the light of candlelight.

When a family is together and works together, life will always get better and better.

Lin Wanqiao firmly believes.

Except for 1602.

Other people's windows also reflected the fire.

Those who had candles lit candles, and those who didn't have candles used freshly chopped firewood and lit braziers.

As for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, ordinary people are very similar.

Corn porridge, potato boiled corn, corn flour paste, baked potatoes.

After eating, Lin Wanqiao and the others cleaned up the tabletop, and put the uneaten ingredients back into the space. In fact, it's okay not to put it back, the current environment is like a natural refrigerator, and no food can be broken.

The hot pot soup was completely frozen from the room to the kitchen.

There is still four hours to keep the year, but there are still four hours until the early hours of the morning.

"Mahjong?"

Lin Wanqiao's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

The dining table was transformed into a mahjong table.

The mahjong makes a cheerful sound on the desktop, and the whole community, oh no, it can be said that the entire C city can't find a second such a relaxed and happy family.

The 1601 next door is in stark contrast to the 1602 at the moment.

Hu Mingui slumped on the sofa in the living room, holding a cigarette in his hand, and a dark brazier was placed at his feet.

On the coffee table there was a bowl of leftover bud rice ballast, and a piece of ham sausage wrapper.

After he finished the cigarette in his hand, he threw the cigarette butt into the brazier, picked up the tweezers on one side, and pulled out two potatoes from the charcoal brazier.

The potatoes left the fire and cooled in a few seconds.

He picked up the potato, stood up, and walked towards the inner room.

The dimly lit inner room was so dark that he couldn't see clearly.

"It's time to eat."

He threw the potato in his hand to the ground in front of him, regardless of whether it would hit anyone, and closed the door and went back after throwing it.

In the dark, Luo Yaqin leaned over, shivered and lifted the futon from the bed, stepped on the cold floor with both feet, and the extreme cold brought a strong pain, making her slump to the ground, but no matter how hard she tried, her weak body couldn't stand up, so she could only crawl on her knees, looking for potatoes on the ground by feeling. For a long time, at the foot of the bed, I touched the baked potatoes that had long been frozen into ice lumps.

Ignoring the cold, she just stuffed it into her mouth.

The potatoes were like stones, difficult to bite, so she had to go back to the bed and cover her body until they thawed a little, and then put them in her mouth.

The cold potatoes swallowed their stomachs, and the bone-chilling coldness spread from the stomach to the limbs.

Tears fell one by one, and before they fell on the futon, they froze halfway.

Hu Mingui's career has suffered another setback.

Jiang Tinghu was cut from power, although the Crazy Dragon Gang was the direct fuse, but it had something to do with his wife's mother's troubles.

The ordinary rites had long been ineffective, and he could only go to the left side of the door.

The tastes of those big officials are tricky and picky, and the good-looking ones say that they are too woody and not interesting enough, and those who can have fun dislike people are not everywhere, these days, where to find so many girls.

If he was not careful, someone immediately took his place.

Until one day, he came home and saw his wife and daughter......
