No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 43
Wu Xiaozheng didn't know how to comfort Grandma Wu.

But he didn't want to live in such a dull atmosphere this year, so he had no choice but to say: "Grandma, if it's not the end of the year, I'll go to the prison to see them."

This is really a last resort.

For Wu Xiaozheng, he was not mentally prepared for this.

Although it is said that a son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor, but Wu Xiaozheng really can't love his wonderful parents.In the previous life, the harm his parents brought to him was far more than this time, and even after they were released from prison, the harm continued.

But now he can only compromise.

At this time, Wu Changhe also pointedly said: "It's New Year's Eve, why are you sighing, those two bastards should be educated inside."

Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, Grandpa, if you really think so, it would be great, then you can live a few more years in the future!
But Wu Xiaozheng knew that Wu Changhe would always indulge and compromise in front of his parents, even after they came out.

He sighed again in his heart, but continued to comfort Grandma Wu and said: "Yes, Grandma, since this is the case, the rest of us have to live this year happily!"

Grandma Wu secretly wiped away her tears and finally regained her composure.

After lunch, it's time to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Wu Xiaozheng is preparing to cook a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for his family.

In fact, there are only a few people in the Wu family now, and they can't eat too much, but this meal must be rich, because after a year, this is the omen of the picture.

A chicken must be killed. The so-called chicken, duck and fish meat, the chicken is the head, and there must be a chicken on the New Year's Eve dinner.

Fish is also a must. The so-called surplus every year, there are fish every year, and there must be no less fish on the New Year's Eve dinner.

There must be meat too, and it must be big fat meat with meat on the belt.

Yesterday someone brought a big leg of lamb to the Wu family, and Wu Xiaozheng was going to cook up the lamb.

Wu Xiaozheng did the math, the main course is almost enough, and one or two side dishes are enough for the whole family to have a happy meal.

Wu Xiaoli, a teenager who doesn't know what it means to be sad, wandered around Wu Xiaozheng happily.Seeing so many delicious foods, she didn't think about going out to play anymore, and started chattering non-stop.

"Brother, this chicken is so big, I want to eat a big chicken drumstick later."

"Brother, this fish is so fat, it must be delicious."

"Brother, is this pork knuckle? How to do this?"

……

During this day, she was the happiest. Under Wu Xiaozheng's teasing, her giggling laughter sounded in the room from time to time, and this kind of laughter infected everyone in the family.

The atmosphere at home is no longer dull.

it's dark.

After half an afternoon of careful preparation, the family sat down at the dining table, and then Wu Xiaozheng brought plates of dishes to the table.

Wu Xiaozheng pointed to the dishes on the table and began to explain.

"This is called a family portrait, which means the whole family is prosperous, healthy and happy."

Family Portrait is a mixed steamed stew, which contains pork liver, pork belly, pork belly, homemade pork blood balls, dried fragrant, etc. Wu Xiaozheng cuts them into even thin slices, arranges them neatly, steams them over high heat, and spreads them A little chopped pepper and chopped green onion, it looks very beautiful.

"It's more than a year."

The fish is a grass carp weighing more than one catty. Wu Xiaozheng braised it in soy sauce. The fish meat was evenly sliced ​​and then fried until golden. With chopped green onions, it looks very tempting.At this time, the head of the fish is facing Wu Changhe, and the tail of the fish is facing Wu Xiaozheng himself, and the intention is also very good.

Wu Xiaoli was drooling when she saw it.

Wu Xiaozheng continued to explain.

The so-called Chinese New Year, meaning is more important than eating, Wu Xiaozheng must explain in place, enough auspicious words, the family can use chopsticks.

"This is Tuanyuanyuan." Wu Xiaozheng pointed to the sauced pork knuckle and said.

The round pork knuckle was steamed thoroughly by Wu Xiaozheng with boiling water, then poured with soy red sauce and sprinkled with chopped green onion, it looked round and glistening with oil.

Wu Xiaozheng gently inserted the chopsticks into the skin of the sauce-red elbow and then pushed it away, a gust of hot air gushed out, the aroma of the sauce was overwhelming, and the white and translucent fat piled up on the traces of lean meat, making it sexy and mouth-watering .

Wu Xiaoli: Brother, can you hurry up, my saliva is about to flow out!

"This is five yuan steamed chicken."

The recipe for this dish is a bit special.

The so-called five yuan refers to lotus seeds, eggs, dried longan, red dates and peanuts.

Soak the lotus seeds in advance, boil the eggs and peel off the shells, wash the longan and peanuts, and wash the red dates, then put these materials and ginger slices in a large bowl, put them in a pressure cooker, and then clean the whole chicken. Put it in a large bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, add some water, cover and steam in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes and then take it out of the pot.

Next is a plate of braised pork, which has the meaning of booming and welcoming the new year.

Others include braised mutton and steamed taro, all of which are delicious with good intentions.

After the introduction, Wu Xiaozheng stood up, picked up the wine glass, and toasted Wu Changhe and Grandma Wu: "I wish my grandparents good health, all the best, and every year."

Wu Xiaoli also stood up, holding a glass of juice in her hand, she seemed to be following her brother to respect her grandparents, but her eyes were fixed on the table.

Needless to say, the little girl has long been absent-minded.

Wow, there are so many delicious foods, which one should I eat first?They all look delicious!
Wu Xiaoli was really dazzled.

Wu Changhe symbolically poked his chopsticks at the fish head, and the whole family followed suit.

After a short period of difficult choice, Wu Xiaoli finally extended her chopsticks to the braised pork.

Well, this meat looks red and smooth, and the size is just right for one bite. I heard from my brother that there is sugar in it. It must be delicious. Try this first!
Well, this fish looks delicious too, the skin is burnt and the meat is tender, and with some sauce, it must be delicious.

The Tuanyuanyuan also looks very tempting, but it is a whole pork knuckle, and I need my brother to help me. I want to eat the steamed lean meat inside.

As for the big chicken leg, forget it for the time being, after a while, you can grab it in your hand and eat it.

……

Looking at Wu Xiaoli who was eating so much oil, and then looking at his grandparents who were eating happily, Wu Xiaozheng felt a sense of happiness in his heart.

This is the first year after his rebirth. After this year, the new year will really begin. It is still unknown what the future will hold, and he doesn't have too many demands. He just hopes that every year in the future Being able to have such a happy time together as a family.

Then let me greet the New Year with a new mentality!

　The next two chapters will be more tender and transitional, and then enter a new plot. I hope you like it.
