The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 459 Liu Chunmei is back

The son-in-law has been alone at home for so many days. During the New Year, the Shen family must have a reunion dinner.

You have to give your son-in-law this face.

Su Wanwan thought about it and it made sense. Her uncle and aunt were so good to her, and she was also a new bride, so she would spend the first year in the Shen family.

What's more, there's Mr. Meng as well, and we agreed to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.

So she took the children back and planned to come back on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

With Aunt Huang and others at home, everything for the New Year was prepared, red couplets were posted, and the yard was tidyed up by Shen Yuan.

My uncle had already said that they would go there for the reunion dinner that night, so they didn't prepare any ingredients for making dumplings.

In the afternoon, I went directly to the old house with some dishes and asked Shen Zhao to call Mr. Meng.

The old house was bustling with activity at this moment, and everyone was busy.

Even Shen Liang and his team were busy, some were cutting vegetables, some were wiping tables and chairs, and some were killing fish.

Zhao Yan is mainly responsible for cooking, Wang Cui'e is kneading the dough, and Zhang Cuihua is preparing the dumpling fillings.

The children were also doing what they could, especially Datao. Wang Cui'e was teaching her how to knead dough, and she was learning very seriously.

Shen Songqing smoked his pipe and looked around, his face full of wrinkles and a smile on his face.

At this time, Shen Yuan's family arrived, and the five of them appeared in front of the gate in an orderly manner.

The wrinkles on Shen Songqing's face deepened, and he immediately put out his pipe and came over.

"Yuan, you're here, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

When they heard they were coming, everyone in the courtyard greeted them and the atmosphere became lively.

"You're here, so why did you bring so many dishes? We have everything prepared here."

Zhang Cuihua complained when she saw that they were still carrying things, but the smile on her face did not fade.

"These are all things my mother asked me to bring back, some cakes, fruits, and some meat. Bring them here for everyone to eat."

Su Wanwan responded, and Shen Yuan had already placed the thing on the table.

Fruits are very expensive in winter, and they can't find anywhere to buy them. Looking at the fresh pears, Zhang Cuihua was speechless.

"You are so polite, my dear. It would be lonely for you to stay alone in the village. Why don't you come over and celebrate with us? It's still early, so why not let Shen Yuan pick them up and celebrate the New Year together."

Zhang Cuihua thought of the distinguished guests from the capital. She didn't expect that these people would not even return to Beijing for the New Year this year.

This farm is not my home after all, it is so deserted.

Rural people don't have so many rules. It would be nice to take it over and have fun together. We are not far away from each other.

Previously, she thought that they all came from the capital and were used to a life of luxury. She was afraid that their family would insult them, or that they would not be used to the food and would feel awkward sitting together.

But after these days of contact, she found that it was not as she thought. Xiao Yue'er's grandmother was easy-going and it was quite easy to get along with her.

Su Wanwan was touched when she heard her say this. No matter what, it was a good idea of ​​her aunt-in-law.

"Aunt, please don't worry. They are already prepared and they probably won't come."

Su Wanwan was also afraid that her mother would come and they would feel restrained. It was a good thing for the in-laws to be close, but they also had to know the limits.

She had mentioned this proposal to her mother before, and her mother rejected it with the same words.

"Okay then, take the kids over on the second day of the New Year and spend more time with them."

Zhang Cuihua was also helpless. She had already been thinking about whether there were any good things at home and asking her niece-in-law to bring them over.

Su Wanwan saw that she had already prepared the dumpling fillings, which were pork and radish fillings. There was obviously more pork, and there was a lot of white fat on top. The fragrance could be smelled from far away.

"This year the filling has more meat and less radish. It looks delicious."

Although it is too greasy, this is how it is in this era. The fatter the better, especially the dumpling fillings, the fatter the better.

Unlike later generations, people pay attention to low oil and low fat.

"That's right. Life is good this year, so we have to eat better. I specially found the fattest one. I guarantee that the dumplings tonight will be delicious."

Zhang Cuihua stirred the minced pork with chopsticks, and her movements almost left afterimages.

Over there, Wang Cui'e had also kneaded the dough, covered it with a steamer cloth, and went on to do other things.

A few men washed the vegetables and prepared the tables and chairs. They had nothing to do, so they sat in a circle eating melon seeds and chatting.

Just as Su Wanwan was about to help, Zhang Cuihua put down the basin and immediately came over to chase her out:

"You are not needed here. There are so many people here. You can go out and have a rest. Eat some sunflower seeds with them and wait for the meal."

Su Wanwan was kicked out so ruthlessly. She knew that her aunt-in-law felt sorry for her, so she didn't hesitate.

The kitchen was indeed a little small, and there was not enough space for several people to stand in it, so she reluctantly did it and was lazy.

When Shen Yuan saw her come out, he immediately pulled out a stool for her to sit on.

But she would not join in when a group of men were chatting, and simply took the children to the gate to play.

Da Tao was helping in the kitchen. There were five children here. Shen Zhao didn't come out. He looked like a little adult now, sitting with Mr. Meng and his uncle, listening to their conversation.

Su Wanwan played the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with the children.

After exercising for a while, I felt warm all over.

There were originally only five children in the family, but the children from the neighborhood also ran out when they heard the noise outside, and the chicks behind Su Wanwan suddenly turned into a large bunch.

On New Year's Eve, adults in every household prepare food at home. The whole village is filled with the aroma of meat and the sounds of children playing.

This scene seems unreal.

It was really miserable during the Chinese New Year last year. Some families couldn't even get any meat and it was good enough to have enough food.

This year, everything has changed dramatically.

Some people who had nothing to do walked outside and watched all this, and the corners of their mouths slowly curled up.

The excitement was suddenly interrupted by a mother and daughter who came to the village.

Liu Chunmei and Zhao Xiaoxiao suddenly rushed into this scene. She stood there holding her daughter's hand, watching the woman having fun with a group of children. Her eyes turned red and she turned away.

Zhao Xiaoxiao, no, she has changed her name now and is now Li Xiaoxiao.

Liu Chunmei pulled Li Xiaoxiao and wanted to sneak through from the side. She pulled her daughter, but her daughter did not move.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the children with envy, she also wanted to play.

"Go away, you little bitch. What are you looking at?"

Liu Chunmei scolded and pulled Li Xiaoxiao hard.

"Mom, it hurts... Mom, I..."

Li Xiaoxiao cried in grievance. Ever since her father disappeared, her mother had been very bad to her.

After the mother and daughter made such a fuss, the people over there finally noticed them.

The first person to see them was Xiao Yue'er, and she spotted Li Xiaoxiao at first sight.
