Chapter 97 The Unpleasantness of the New Year's Eve Dinner

On New Year's Eve, the whole family dressed up and prepared to go to the old house for dinner.

Mrs. Liu was wearing a violet gauze dress with an elegant bow tied around her waist with pink brocade.A circle of three-dimensional roses made of violet soft smoke is nailed to the skirt, and the cuffs are made of lantern sleeves with wooden ears. On the head is a slightly loose bun, and a purple inlaid The hollowed-out butterfly bead hairpin with precious stones is covered with a white fox fur lining, and a pink brocade hooded cloak with makeup. The whole person is youthful, beautiful, smart and beautiful.

Under the conditioning of space spirits, Liu has gradually undergone great changes. Her skin is white and rosy, her hair is black and shiny, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her eyebrows are picturesque. She is much more beautiful than her 16-year-old girl. .

Shen Chengyao had just put on a blue-purple brocade gown, tied the belt of the same color, and looked back at his wife who was already dressed. He couldn't help but stare dumbfounded. His wife was getting more and more beautiful, and he couldn't bear to look away.

Seeing Shen Chengyao looking at her blankly, Liu said, "What's the matter? Isn't it good-looking?"

Shen Chengyao felt his mouth was dry and his stomach was stuffy, "No, it's very nice, I'll go and see if the children are alright, don't make parents wait too long." After speaking, he ran away in despair.

Liu took a picture in the floor-to-ceiling glass mirror again, and felt that everything was in order. The dress designed by her daughter looked good, and she looked a lot younger when she wore it.

Mrs. Liu came to the main room with her younger sister in her arms, and the whole family was waiting for her. Xiao'er and her brothers and sisters all praised her when they saw her.

"Mother is so beautiful!"

"Mother is so pretty."

……

Xiao'er and Yun'er are both dressed in pink and jade carvings. They wear the same clothes, but the capes are different, and Yun'er is a little shorter and thinner.

Shen Chengyao felt very satisfied watching his wife and children playing and laughing happily.It was the first time they wore new clothes for the new year, and so did he himself.It turns out that this is what it feels like to wear new clothes in the New Year. I feel so happy and satisfied.

The family twisted the New Year's gifts for Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen Zhuang, and walked towards the village together. They met many children and villagers along the way, and they all greeted them enviously. The fruits in the basket, dry goods and other food, all lamented that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen Zhuang are blessed to have such a capable son, delicacies from mountains and seas are no problem!

Some children saw their brothers and sisters dressed so beautifully, and even ran back and begged their parents to wear new clothes for them.

When the family entered the yard, they found that there was still a cold pot and a cold stove. At this time, there were shouts from every household calling the children to go home for dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner is usually eaten very early, and there are dumplings at night.

Is this waiting for my family to cook?Xiaoer thought to herself.

The family walked into the upper room, Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen Zhuang, Shen Yuzhu and Dafang's family were all sitting on the kang.

After they greeted each other, they put down the annual ceremony and sat down in their usual positions.

Shen Zhuang looked at the family's new clothes with penetrating eyes.

The second-bedroom family also came in at this time, and the fourth-bedroom family also followed.Both families put on new clothes.When Shen Zhuang saw him, his eyes were full of anger.

As soon as Shen Chengzong sat down, he asked, "Mother, didn't you say to have a New Year's Eve dinner together? Can we have dinner?"

These words gave Shen Zhuangshi a chance to explode, and she was aggrieved for a whole day.Just now, I took a look at the New Year gift brought by Shen Chengyao, and my face looked better. Now when I heard this, my face pulled down again, "Why, do you want me to wait on you all the time? You come to eat, this is Do you plan to wait for dry food without taking rice or moving your hands?"

"What, I haven't cooked the meal yet! Isn't everyone starting to eat at this time!" Shen Chengzong was dissatisfied.If you don't cook, ask him to eat something!

"We all live in the same yard. Have you cooked your meals yet? Don't you know that you two are hiding in your own room, dressed up in fancy dresses. Are you trying to make fun of yourself or seduce someone?"

After hearing this, Liu Shi, Li Shi, and Lu Shi all looked ugly, and what they said was too ugly.

"Mother, it's also my fault. It's a bit late to make a year's account in the shop today. I thought that there are many brothers in the family, and this meal will not starve my parents throughout the year. I never thought... ...It's so late, my younger brothers and sisters came here, I thought they had prepared them at home and brought them here, but I didn't expect...It's also my fault, I didn't think carefully, mother, I will do it right now, don't be angry, get angry Could it be that our uncle is heartbroken..." After speaking, Lan pretended to go down to the kang to cook.

Xiao'er grabbed Mrs. Liu who was about to stand up. If she got up at this time, she would be cannon fodder. Anyway, it's not just her family who didn't come over to cook earlier. It is said that they have already separated. Mr. Shen lived with the big house. When the other sons come to eat, Lan should go home early and prepare the meals. After all, it is human favor for Liu and the others to come and help early, and it is also reasonable if they don't have time to come and help!
Lan is always used to shifting his responsibility to others, and it is the fault of others if they fail to do a good job. This kind of temper is what Liu and Lu used to do in the past, but this temper needs to be changed!They have already separated, not to mention that they have severed ties, so she doesn't want Mrs. Liu to spoil her anymore. They can go home and eat if they don't, and she is worried about eating here. I can't get enough for the New Year's Eve dinner!
Seeing that Liu Shi didn't move, Lu Shi didn't move, and she didn't move either. Li Shi didn't intend to move in the first place.

Seeing that the buttocks of the sisters-in-law seemed to be firmly stuck to the stool, Mrs. Lan felt even more dissatisfied. In previous years, when she returned home, she could eat after washing her hands. This year, she wanted to make it for so many people by herself. delusion!She first took issue with Mrs. Liu, who has always been easy-going, "It's no wonder that the brothers and sisters are all wearing new clothes. They don't want to get their clothes dirty. I'm sorry that I've been busy all year long, and the money I earned is not enough to pay for it. This year I don’t even dare to make new clothes for Wen’er. The one Wen’er is wearing today was made a few months ago and worn twice. It can’t be done without dozens of taels, right? If it gets dirty or broken, it will be heartbroken to death.”

Looking at Liu's attire, Lan felt both envy and jealousy in her heart, wishing she could tear it up and tear it all apart!As the daughter of a scholar, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, the son she gave birth to shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Shen family's glory and glory, but she was actually crushed by a village girl, and the pain in her heart was beyond description.

"Grandpa, grandma, why don't you just live with us, we will definitely not let you have no food so late. My mother said to come over to help cook, but I stopped me, thinking of how filial my aunt is. Man, since the master has asked us to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, my aunt will definitely arrange it, I never thought..." Master Xiao followed Lan's example and kept silent.

Lan's face turned dark when she heard this. It means that she is not filial if she doesn't cook. This father and mother are not the only ones from their eldest family, so why should she finish cooking!

"This year is the first year of family separation. We wanted to see how well the sister-in-law's family took care of my father and mother. After all, there was no separation in previous years. It's okay if the sister-in-law didn't go home to prepare meals. There are also my second sister-in-law and I. What about my sister-in-law. But now that the family has been separated, I never thought about..." Mrs. Liu has also learned to speak like this, and her anger towards Mrs. Lan has not subsided yet!
"Sister-in-law, you don't go home to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Mom and Dad are still spending time with you. I usually help you cook a lot of meals. If I were you, I would have cooked it last night. Come back and start preparing." Mrs. Li lived here, and she was called to cook by Mrs. Shen every now and then, and she was already full of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, if you have the time to talk so much here, why don't you cook now! Can you eat this meal?" After hearing this for a long time, Mr. Shen was also angry. These people worked together to bury the big house. Didn't it also mean that they were dissatisfied with taking care of the two of them when they were old?
