The fake rich lady of the era relied on mind-reading to win.

Lai Yanling, who was busy, looked surprised when she saw Song Zhiyao coming back so early, "Zhiyao, I thought you were going to come back very late?"

"Well, if the hospital isn't very busy today, come back early." Song Zhiyao said briskly.

I had heard other people say before that doctors are very busy during holidays. Thinking that Song Zhiyao is also a doctor, he might come back very late today.

But no matter how late she comes back, she will be waiting for her to have a reunion dinner together tonight.

Song Zhiyao is also very happy to get off work early today. It is the day of reunion on New Year's Eve. It doesn't matter how late it is on New Year's Eve when it is not interesting at Luo's house.

It was different in the Song family. The three of them were all looking forward to her coming back. Someone was waiting for her to come home, so they naturally had more expectations. When Song Zhiyao was notified that she could go home, Song Zhiyao didn't show any joy on the surface.

But she was very happy in her heart, and the familiar bus driver looked happy when he saw her.

I couldn't help but joke, "Dr. Song, are you happy to go home from get off work so early?"

After asking, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart. After all, I am still a young man. No matter how smart or powerful I am, it will be different if I can go home earlier for the New Year.

The younger brothers and sisters were very happy to see their elder sister coming back so early. They got excited in front of her wearing their new clothes, and the two of them rushed to ask her which one looked better.

It is very happy for children to have new clothes to wear during the New Year. The conditions of each household in the textile factory seem to be okay. Some families raise several children, and it is impossible for everyone to have new clothes.

A large amount of money is spent during the New Year, and most of the money is spent on favors. We also have to buy food and drink for the family, so there is not much money to buy clothes for the children.

At this time, anyone who has new clothes to go out for a walk will get envious looks. In the past, the two siblings were envious of others, but this year Song Zhiyao bought them new clothes, with beautiful styles and good quality.

After lunch, the two of them rushed to take a shower, just to wear new clothes and play around outside. Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Song Zhiyao laughed.

"You two are equally good-looking." Song Zhiyao, as a sister, would not favor one over the other. They are indeed equally good-looking.

Even though they knew that their sister's words were a bit perfunctory, the two siblings were still very happy and said in unison, "Mom, sister, let's go for a walk and come back later to help cook."

Without waiting for the two of them to answer, the two siblings looked at each other and quickly filled their pockets with melon seeds. Seeing their arrogance, they thought they would eat all the melon seeds before going home.

Lai Yanling was a good mother and didn't have such a strong desire to control. They also wanted to go out for a walk and understood the children's thoughts, so she waved her hand to let them go.

Then he looked at Song Zhiyao and said, "Zhiyao, you got up so early today to take a rest. You can't help with this."

Lai Yanling also found that her eldest daughter was not very proficient in the kitchen. Sometimes helping her would be a waste of time, so it would be better to stop her from doing it in the first place.

Song Zhiyao knew what she meant. Thinking that she had helped several times before, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so she nodded.

Lai Yanling attached great importance to New Year's Eve this year. It was the first time since Song Yuanzhou left home that it was so grand.

There are goose meat, stewed chicken soup, braised pig's feet, braised fish, fried tofu meatballs, stir-fried beef with pickled radish, braised abalone, and hand-shredded cabbage.

The goose meat was prepared a few days ago. Today, it only needs to be processed and stir-fried. The chicken soup is slowly simmered in the coal stove early in the morning, and will be simmered for a few hours to make it even more delicious.

The pig's trotters are braised instead of stewed. First put the pig's trotters in brine, then add chili peppers, ginger and green onions in the pot, stir-fry until the aroma is released, and then put the braised pig's trotters inside.

The fried braised pig's trotters were juicy and had the aroma of marinade and spicy taste. When Song Zhiyao came out, he saw a large pot of red and attractive pig's trotters. Saliva was secreted in the mouth. He swallowed the saliva and resisted grabbing one to nibble on.

Lai Yanling, who was cooking other dishes, turned around and saw her looking like a greedy little cat. She pretended not to notice and smiled, "Zhiyao, help mom taste the pig's feet to see if they are tasty enough. There are so many dishes to be made today. My mind was a little confused for a while, and I didn’t even know how much salt to add.”

Song Zhiyao, who was preoccupied with the pig's feet, picked up a small piece of pig's feet and started to chew it without hearing any other meaning.

It was soft and glutinous and full of spicy flavor. It was not greasy after being braised and stir-fried over high heat. The chili pepper dipped in the pig skin was also very fragrant. Song Zhiyao was just immersed in this delicious taste for a while.

I completely forgot to tell Lai Yanling about the saltiness. After eating, I found that Lai Yanling was busy, so I didn't feel embarrassed.

"Ahem, cough, mom, the taste of pig's feet is just right."

Lai Yanling responded to her while chopping vegetables, "Fortunately I didn't make a mistake, otherwise it would be embarrassing to send it to your teacher's house."

After that, Song Zhiyao made a dish and asked Song Zhiyao to try it. Tofu was added with minced meat to make meatballs. It was fried and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The tofu was crushed and minced meat was added. Some dried shrimps were added, chopped green onions were added and mixed together. It comes out delicious and fragrant.

Song Zhiyao couldn't help but eat two. If she wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat at night, she would have eaten one more.

The stir-fried beef with pickled radish is also sour and spicy. The pickled pickled radish, paired with the tender beef, and stir-fried with chili are also delicious.

Song Zhiyao didn't try the braised fish and abalone. It was difficult to distinguish, and the taste looked very good. Lai Yanling cooked eight dishes.

Generally, it is good for people to have two meat dishes during the Chinese New Year. Except for one green vegetable, the rest are all meat dishes, which proves that Lai Yanling attaches great importance to this New Year's Eve reunion.

Song Zhiyao also felt warm in her heart. It was because she valued her daughter's return that she spent so much money and tickets to buy so many things.

There was so much meat on the table, it must have been more than they had eaten in the previous year.

Before the dishes were served, Lai Yanling took out a lunch box and packed some. They had two lunch boxes at home, and now there are two more. She must have borrowed them from outside.

Each lunch box contained two kinds of dishes. After finishing them, she quickly wrapped them in cloth.

Then he gave the order, "Zhiyao, hurry up and send them to your teacher's house so that they can eat hot food."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the other two children, "Ruyun, Zihao, which one of you will accompany your eldest sister?"

It was getting dark soon in such a cold weather, so Lai Yanling was worried that Song Zhiyao would go alone.

"I want to go!" They both rushed to follow.

Song Zhiyao was about to refuse, but when she saw Lai Yanling's worried face, she swallowed her words again, "There's no need to fight, both of you are coming with me."

The two siblings were very happy when they heard that they were going together. Song Zihao even picked up the lunch box directly from Song Zhiyao. Seeing this, Song Ruyun went to get the things she had prepared.

Seeing how active they were, Song Zhiyao spared her the trouble.
