Chapter 137

The Shen family didn't care too much about the money and food, as long as Shen Boyuan could feel better.

From Shen Wenhai's mouth, Shen Lidong heard that her father's New Year gift is the heaviest when sent to Shen Danian. Since the first family and the third family have separated, they have lived their own lives, and they have not obeyed Shen Danian's words like before. , They all began to plan to live their own lives, so naturally they didn't have so much to be filial to Shen Danian and Mrs. Hua.

This Shen Danian and Mrs. Hua saw Shen Boyuan's New Year's ceremony, I'm afraid that the New Year's Eve dinner tonight will be uncomfortable, who told them that they were too cruel at the beginning, now they can only swallow the bitterness by themselves, even if they regret it useless.

Thinking of this, Shen Lidong shook her head amusedly, now she should happily eat the New Year's Eve dinner, why think of those top relatives.

With this thought, Shen Lidong naturally turned all his attention to the New Year's Eve dinner.This New Year's Eve dinner is naturally rich. The whole family reunite, sitting around the table, eating the reunion dinner together, the feeling in my heart is really indescribable. I didn't expect that she had so many relatives in ancient times. She almost forgot about the New Year's Eve feeling.

Looking at the big dishes on the dinner table, cold pots, hot stir-fries, and snacks, the big table is fully covered.Of course, there are two dishes on the New Year's Eve dinner are absolutely indispensable.

That is hot pot and fish. I heard from my mother that there must be these two dishes. There is also a reason. When the hot pot is hot, red peppers are rolling in the soup, which means that next year will be red. It's booming, what about this fish, Shen Lidong knows that in his previous life, he also meant to take it as more than every year.

Of course, the dishes on the New Year’s Eve dinner are all exquisite, such as radish, which has another name of Caitou, which means good fortune. What about fried food such as lobster, which means that the next year’s family luck will be prosperous like a raging fire. , At the end of the meal, there will be a dessert, implying that the days to come will be sweet.

Shen Lidong listened to Chen's introduction of the meaning of these dishes to her one by one, so she had to remember them well and firmly.

"Mother, don't worry, Dong'er will remember everything, and there won't be any jokes next time."

Chen looked at it and smiled, and poured a glass of wine for Shen Lidong, the wine was clear and fragrant, and seemed very familiar.

"Mother, can Dong'er drink too?"

"Of course, adults and children can drink some wine during the New Year's Eve dinner. There is no need to be taboo. Drink it. This is the peach blossom wine that your sister learned from Wang Xiaosiniang. Drink less, it won't make you intoxicated. And the taste is very good, sweet, I guess Dong'er will like it." Chen looked at Shen Lidong with a smile.

Shen Lidong picked up the wine glass, took a sip, it was as mother said, very sweet, just like fruit wine, not intoxicating.

"Mother, it's really delicious. But speaking of this wine, Dong'er has a special kind of Tusu wine here." Thinking of the benefits of Tusu wine, Shen Lidong hurried to the Bamboo Lotus Court to take advantage of the wine. Then no one took out two jars of Tusu wine from the space, and returned to the dining table in the main hall.

As soon as Shen Lidong's Tusu wine was served, Third Uncle's eyes narrowed.

"Dong'er, what kind of wine is this? Why does Grandpa smell like medicine?"

"Grandpa, you are really right. This Tusu wine is made from traditional Chinese medicines such as rhubarb, Atractylodes macrocephala, cinnamon twig, Fangfeng, pepper, aconitum, and aconite. , to avoid the evil effect of avoiding epidemic disease. So everyone should drink more wine, which is definitely good for the body." This Tusu wine was originally created by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the late Han Dynasty, and later by a famous doctor in Tang Dynasty It was spread by Sun Simiao, apparently no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty here knew about this kind of medicinal wine, so Shen Lidong explained it.

However, Shen Lidong did not say anything about the custom of drinking Tusu wine. Drinking Tusu wine is different from drinking other wines. It's hard to accept, because Shen Lidong didn't say anything.

The third uncle saw that Shen Lidong spoke clearly and logically, poured himself a glass quickly, and tasted it carefully.

"Sure enough, this wine is not bad, very good. Come on, it's rare that Dong'er has worked so hard to prepare such a medicinal wine for us. Everyone should drink it well, drink it to your heart's content, and don't waste it."

The others saw that Uncle San recommended this Tusu wine so much, so they poured it one by one and drank it. Needless to say, the taste is naturally good, and they feel warm after drinking it.

This is of course because Shen Lidong used space water to brew Tusu wine, and the effect of space water is naturally quite amazing.The third uncle and the others felt more and more energetic after drinking, and the drinking became more and more out of control.

When the dumplings came to the table, everyone was blushing and drunk.

Shen Lidong was eating dumplings when suddenly his teeth collided with something.

"Dong'er, what's wrong?"

"Mother, there seems to be something in this dumpling, and Dong'er knocked it over." Shen Lidong spat out the dumpling and saw a copper coin.

"Dong'er is so lucky. If he eats the copper coins in the dumplings, he will definitely make a fortune next year." The eldest daughter-in-law of the third uncle, Lu Shi, looked at Shen Lidong with a smile.

Chen Shi looked at Shen Lidong and stroked her head, obviously very happy.

Shen Lidong rubbed the small teeth that were about to collapse, thinking that it would not be easy to please a good omen, so be careful that the teeth will be knocked off.

This New Year's Eve dinner lasted quite a long time, a full two hours, when Shen Lidong followed his mother, Mrs. Chen, and helped the third uncle's two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wan, clean up the leftovers on the table. After roasting, after the bowls and chopsticks, plates of refreshments, sunflower seeds and candies came up quickly, and the whole family began to sit around the table and chat.

Shen Lidong had been curious all day, and joined in the fun all day, but now he was a little sleepy, he covered his mouth and let out a hot breath.

"What's the matter? Is Dong'er sleepy?" Shen Wenxuan looked at Shen Lidong yawning continuously, and walked over to ask her with a smile.

"Well, big brother, Dong'er is really sleepy." Shen Lidong raised the back of his hand and put it on his lips, half-closed his eyes, trying not to let her act indecently on this occasion. "Mother, Dong'er wants to go to bed now, can I go?"

"No, those who want to watch the year tonight will naturally not be able to go to sleep. They will not be able to go to sleep until the firecrackers are set off behind closed doors." Chen said with a slight smile.

ah? ……What?Still looking after the new year, Shen Lidong immediately drooped his head, as if Shuang had beaten an eggplant, and he couldn't raise his energy at all.

"Mom, how long do you have to watch?"

"When it's Zishi, you can go back to sleep naturally." Chen told Shen Lidong with a smile.

child time?

Shen Lidong was startled, it was too difficult, she wanted to go back and get into her warm quilt now, she missed her warm quilt.

"Mother, but Dong'er is really sleepy now, why don't you stay here and Dong'er goes back to sleep." Shen Lidong blinked his big eyes, stood up suddenly, and was ready to rush out at any time.

"What nonsense, this year the whole family is finally organized and reunited. Of course, the whole family has to stay together to watch the new year. How can you be lazy and go to sleep alone." Chen reprimanded softly.

"But mother, Dong'er is really, really sleepy." Shen Lidong leaned his head, hugged Chen Shi and acted coquettishly.

"You're such a big girl, and you still can't walk safely. Hurry up and sit down for your mother. If you look like this, you can't laugh at you." Mrs. Chen patted the back of Shen Lidong's hand lightly.

Seeing that it was useless to act like a baby, Shen Lidong moved back to her seat and sat down solemnly, but after a while, her head began to nod off frequently.

"Mother, looking at Dong'er's appearance, she is clearly very sleepy, why don't you let her go back to sleep first." Shen Wenxuan looked at Shen Lidong's dozing posture, and couldn't stop smiling from the corner of his mouth.
