Chapter 45 The Joy of New Year's Eve

Gu Mingtang looked at Lu Liangzhou and asked, "How many dishes are there?"

"... seven."

"Oh, you can't come up with an odd number." Gu Mingtang glanced around, "It's all meat, so why don't you get some vegetarian ones, shallots mixed with tofu?"

Lu Hui, who was drooling, finally couldn't help sticking his head out from behind the door curtain, "Mom, my grandma said that you can't eat tofu during the Chinese New Year. It's not good, it's not good."

It seems so.

But this little guy is quite superstitious.

Coincidentally, Gu Mingli came at this time and brought a bundle of frozen celery for making dumplings at night.

Another pot of fried golden and crispy small miscellaneous fish was brought.

This is a snack, for the two babies to chew and play.

The bones and heads of the fish were all removed.

If Gu Qingshan is not good at other places, he is delicate and thoughtful in this aspect.

He was also the one who quietly fished out the carp from the Dahetao, and brought it to Gu Mingtang after tidying it up.

After the big dinner on New Year’s Eve in the north, dumplings are made at around ten o’clock at night, and most of them are stuffed with celery, which means that they will be hardworking and capable in the new year.

Lu Liangzhou had already left red sausages for the Gu family, and then Gu Mingtang gave Gu Mingli a small handful of garlic sprouts, asked her to go back to scrambled eggs, and asked her to bring back a bowl of radish meatballs.

Not long after, Captain Zhou and his eldest son also came, named Zhou Feng, Zhou Zongming's father, thanked him again, and quietly brought wolf meat and two wolf teeth.

The wolf teeth are finished and tied with a red string. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits, but children can't wear them, just find a place to put them up.

Gu Mingtang stuffed a paper bag of white rabbit toffee, and when they left, she continued to cook.

Then the eighth dish was settled, which was stir-fried vermicelli with celery and pork belly in it.

The dishes are being fried and there is a call.

Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan cheered and hugged each other.

Gu Mingtang specially changed it to one with a higher wattage. For the Chinese New Year, it must be bright and dignified.

After a while, the loudspeaker rang, "Attention all members, first of all, my old Zhou, on behalf of the brigade department, would like to thank all the members of our Lingxi brigade..."

Come on, give Gu Mingtang a compliment in the middle.

The last is to summarize and encourage.

I feel that this year's Lingxi Brigade is very different from previous years.

The four members of the Lu family sat around the Eight Immortals table, with eight dishes on it, one chair for each person, and a stove next to it, with boiling water in the kettle on it, and the whole room exuded fragrance.

Who is most excited?

Of course it's two babies.

Eating like this is very ceremonial.

Looking at a beauty under the light, you can see seven out of three colors, not to mention that Gu Mingtang has nine out of color, she is as happy as a child, really smiling like a flower.

Lu Liangzhou only glanced at it, then looked away calmly.

It's too eye-catching.

He thought of the Lu family thousands of miles away, and thought of the father he saw at the conference. He hadn't seen him for five years, and his father's temples were gray and old.

And the eldest sister who has been waiting for him to come to the door to apologize and admit his mistake.

Although his birth was a mistake, it was not a reason for his family to hate him.

Although there is no snowstorm outside, the temperature is very low, but the interior is as warm as spring. With a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, no matter who it is, they will feel happiness from the bottom of their hearts.

Two months ago, Lu Liangzhou felt that Gu Mingtang was ugly, and he was bored even at a glance.

Two months later, Lu Liangzhou, although he only glanced at her, felt that the old lady in the department store was right, this woman was indeed beautiful.

So beautiful that he didn't dare to take a second look.

At this time in City A, Lu Huai went to a nursing home, like every year, to visit his father-in-law who was in a vegetative state. The eldest daughter stood aside, not even looking at him.

After returning home, Lu Huai was standing in the hallway, his stepson Lu Yuanqi was talking to Zhang Zhen with a smile on his face, Shen Wan was feeding the two children, and the nanny was busy and kept bringing things for them.

Lu Huai had to go down to the grassroots level and signaled the nanny not to speak.

He didn't enter the house, turned and left his home.

He thought, he doesn't know how the Liangzhou family is doing now, and he has to make a phone call later.

Hope it's alright.

His grandchildren should be four years old.

What do boys look like? What do girls look like?

For some reason, I suddenly became very curious about the two children.

At this time, the two children were surrounding Gu Mingtang, looking forward to Gu Mingtang making milk jelly for them, so much milk was half-frozen, Gu Mingtang was going to make the simplest one according to the existing ingredients milk jelly.

Of course, tell the children that it is milk jelly. After all, there is no fruit in it, so it doesn't go well.

There are milk, sugar, and corn starch. Put the small aluminum pot on the stove, pour about two catties of milk, then add sugar and starch, and start to boil on low heat.

The two children had never heard of milk jelly, and Lu Hui asked curiously, "Mom, is this the same as the pork skin jelly made by grandma?"

"Almost, but I'm the first to do it, so I don't know if it will work or not." Gu Mingtang was also not sure.

"Mom, you're so tired, it's definitely going to work, I want Dongdong." Xueyan stared at the pot, flattering in a childish voice.

After about a while, pour it into a basin.

Gu Mingtang said it would be cooled for 10 minutes, but it would be frozen if it was placed outside, so it was simply placed on the shelf on the north wall. Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan began to look at Lu Liangzhou's watch without blinking.

Lu Liangzhou simply took off his watch and gave it to his son.

Then staring at Gu Mingtang, she really likes to do this and that, just like a big child.

In half an hour, it really did.

Press it up and it bounces.

When it was poured out, the eyes of both babies were shining.

Cut them into small pieces and put them on snack plates, one for each person. Gu Mingtang asked Lu Liangzhou, who seemed to be reading documents, if he wanted a piece.

Before Lu Liangzhou could say anything, the two babies couldn't wait to swallow it without chewing a few mouthfuls.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Mingtang was taken aback. Fortunately, it was jelly. What if it was something else?
Gu Mingtang decided not to feed them, but she herself ate them one by one, neither too fast nor too slow, making both babies cry.

They looked at their father expectantly, and looked aggrievedly for help.

Lu Liangzhou ate a piece, noncommittal, and said, "It tastes good."

Help request is invalid.

I had to beg my mother.

Gu Mingtang looked at the pitiful appearance of the two babies, so he gave another piece to each of them, and asked them slowly, "How do you eat this time?"

"Like mom and dad, eat slowly." Lu Hui promised loudly.

"Do you know what you looked like just now?" Gu Mingtang asked seriously.

Lu Xueyan answered quickly, "Like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit."

Gu Mingtang just laughed.Then hand them two snack plates.

Lu Liangzhou glanced lightly at the smiling Gu Mingtang, and then at Ahui and Xueyan who were sitting on the top of the hot kang, holding snack plates and eating milk jelly in small bites. There was a softness in his eyes that he didn't realize.
