Chapter 90 New Year's Eve Dinner

The New Year’s Eve dinner is very rich. In addition to the white-cut chicken that is inseparable during the New Year’s festival, there are fat but not greasy braised pig’s feet, crispy and refreshing boiled shrimp, steamed side fish with green onion and ginger, and honey-glazed pigeons for each person. It is sweet and fragrant. Chicken Soup with Lettuce and Fat Vegetable Meatballs.Of course, juice soda drinks from our own factory are indispensable.

My mother's specialty dish is actually steamed fish. Although it is a very common home-cooked dish, but because my mother catches the time very accurately when steaming fish, the steamed fish can always be made to be particularly delicious. It can feel that the fish meat is just cooked but separated from the fish bones a bit lingeringly. This kind of fish meat is the most tender.Even though I haven't eaten any dragon grouper or Chinese porpoise, I think the side fish and carp steamed by my mother are the most delicious.It is also one of the most respected dishes in the family.

"Thank you son and daughter-in-law." The grandmother sat in the host seat, picked up a glass of sweet rice wine that she drank every day, toasted her grandparents, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.Although the expression on her face was as serious as ever, the watery eyes and twitching nose all showed her excitement.

Grandpa and grandma quickly stood up from their chairs, and respectfully picked up the wine glasses to pay respects to grandma. The two of them didn't say anything, they just waited quietly for grandma to continue speaking.

"You have worked hard for this family over the years, especially the daughter-in-law." The grandmother looked at the grandsons, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters present, and cleared her throat. "I am not a good mother-in-law. I always ask a lot of you. I'm sorry, daughter-in-law." .”

Grandma opened her mouth wide, she was so surprised.In her heart, her mother-in-law is very dissatisfied with herself, just because she doesn't like her daughter-in-law.But now the mother-in-law apologized to her. "mom,……"

"I just want to teach you more things, and every time I tell you things, you will always do it properly, so I will always be strict with you." The grandmother didn't want her daughter-in-law to lose face in front of the juniors, Especially in front of the granddaughter-in-law, so it's just a vague explanation.

"Yes, Mom. I understand." Grandma replied in fear. She was so nervous that she rubbed her hands together. She took a quick look at grandma, and immediately bowed her head in a proper manner.

"You all have to remember that your mother and grandma have paid a lot for this family." The grandmother gestured for her son and daughter-in-law to sit down, and concluded in a calm manner.

"Yes." Everyone answered unanimously.Even Qin Rong sat obediently.

"Qin Mao, grandson's wife, Qin Hua, Qin Ping, you have worked hard in the past year." Grandma called the names one by one, and parents, aunts, and uncles stood up quickly.Grandma took out four red envelopes and gave them one by one. "This is because your parents and I have pressed your trouser pockets for you. I hope you will guard against arrogance and impetuosity in the coming year, and continue to create careers with the priority of protecting your family and health."

"Yes, grandma." Everyone's eyes were wet, and even the always prudent father couldn't help trembling when he took grandma's red envelope with both hands.In fact, in this family, the backbone is the grandmother, and has always been the grandmother.Grandfather died in his prime, and grandmother, a woman, guarded the family with her incomparably strong heart.Even grandpa and dad habitually consult with grandma every time they have to do big things.

"Xiaoxiao, Rongrong, come to grandma." Grandma turned sideways and took out a small handkerchief to press her eyes, then turned around and said to Qin Rong and me.Qin Rong and I quickly slid off our chairs and ran to grandmother from the end of the table.Grandma hugged us one by one. "Xiaoxiao went to school at a young age, and brought home a double hundred. Even the principal and the teacher came to praise him personally. I will reward you with a schoolbag made by myself."

"Thank you grandma, boo." I took the bamboo schoolbag that grandma helped to carry, and kissed grandma on the face.

You don't need to look closely to know how detailed this bamboo backpack is, even more delicate than the backpacks of later generations. Although it is made of bamboo chips, it is light and weightless at all, and the stripes between bamboo and bamboo are tight. As for the toughness, the most powerful and labor-intensive thing is to rub the bamboo slices as thin as paper and the twine used to strengthen the toughness to make them all the same size.

The intricately crafted schoolbag did not become earthy and ugly because of this, but became three-dimensional as a whole, and the lotus pattern made of rags on it was even more lifelike.Moreover, taking into account the issue of height, elastic straps are made of rubber bands. This style is three-dimensional and simple, and it will not be outdated in any age.Maybe my back is a little too big now, but it will definitely accompany me all the way to college and beyond.

The heart of my grandmother really made me feel so happy and so lucky.

Because of rebirth, life, no regrets.
