Chapter 717 Isn't it just to bring it?
The three little ones bowed together to the end.
The movements are very standard, and it looks like they have been rehearsed several times at home.
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Xu Zhang greeted, "Okay, you guys wish me New Year's greetings first. I don't have any red envelopes to give you now. Please wait nearby. We'll have the New Year's Eve dinner later."
The men of Lao Xu's family have all arrived, standing and sitting, and several female family members are busy bringing dishes one after another. The table is already half set, and there are also various big dishes brought to them.
The three little ones came to Shiro's side, and several children were next to each other, chatting and laughing happily.
Xu Laowu joked, "Xiao Liuzi, you have grown up another year, and you will no longer be willing to wipe your nose. If you wipe your nose again, your wife will not be able to talk about it."
As a result, Xiao Liuzi didn't panic at all, "It's okay, Fifth Uncle, I will find a girl who wipes her nose like me to be my wife. We don't dislike each other."
Everyone burst out laughing.
Then, Koshiro asked in a low voice, "Are your parents not preparing anything to eat at home, and are they waiting for you to bring something back to eat?"
Sanlang replied, "No, the rice is steamed in a pot. If the milk is not allowed, I will probably eat all the rice!"
Phew!
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but was so happy.
This fits the image of these two couples so well.
Mrs. Xu Zhang said she was fierce, but she was actually soft-hearted. How could she not let her take the lead?
We have prepared so much at home, and even steamed two extra baskets of big meat buns. Isn’t it just for bringing them?
Everyone laughed and talked for a while, and after a while, all the food was served. The table was full and the aroma was fragrant.
The food on the dinner table this year is much richer than in previous years. There are many dishes and solid dishes. They are all served in big bowls. However, there are many fewer people eating the reunion dinner.
The eldest family, four people, the fourth and his wife who have been here in previous years...
This year, six people suddenly disappeared. Even with the addition of a new daughter-in-law, it seemed a bit deserted.
Xu Youde wanted to say something, but couldn't.
At this moment, there were suddenly several noisy sounds outside.
"In-laws, in-laws, mother-in-law, we are here to wish you happy new year!"
Lao Xu's family looked over in confusion. Today is New Year's Eve. At this time, most people celebrate the New Year at their own homes and have family reunion dinners. Who would come to pay New Year's greetings now?
Even if the folks in the countryside wish to have a happy New Year, it will be in the afternoon, after having a family reunion dinner, and they will walk around happily.
Who will come to pay New Year greetings during the meal?
Mrs. Xu Zhang had already heard the voice and her expression fell.
Then they saw Mr. and Mrs. Liao, carrying their big and small babies, a total of four people walking into the main room of Lao Xu's family.
As soon as the two babies came in, their eyes could not move away from the dining table, but they said sweetly, "Grandpa, grandma, brother, sister-in-law, we are here to wish you a happy New Year."
Liao Honghai was at the back of the team, looking awkward, rubbing his hands and following behind his wife and children.
Xu Youde greeted happily, "Hey, good boy! What are you doing? Have you had a reunion dinner so early? Old lady, please bring some snacks for these two brothers..."
Ms. Liao held Dabao in one hand and Xiaobao in the other, with a sad look on her face, "My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, we haven't eaten yet! The snow melted today, and the roof of our house leaked in several places, especially in the kitchen.
We can’t make food, and on this New Year’s Eve, we are embarrassed to borrow some food from other families. We are thinking that my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s family are more generous, so we can squeeze in the New Year together, and we have no choice..."
Lao Xu's family was stunned.
Xu Youde is a warm-hearted person and he responded quickly.
He said enthusiastically, "So that's it, please sit down now! Brother Liao, please come quickly, please come quickly. I didn't expect this to happen. Come on, come on, old lady, please move to a nest, add another chair, and invite Brother Liao over."
, it will be more lively for everyone to have a reunion dinner together. We are all from the same family. When things like this happen, we will naturally eat from home. It is not a problem at all. You didn’t tell me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would let Liao Qing and the others go.
It’s not a big deal for your family to help repair the roof..."
Liao Honghai rubbed his hands in embarrassment and stepped forward, "It's the New Year's Eve today and it's hard to repair it. We have to celebrate the New Year. It's no wonder that it's a nice sunny day and the sun shines so brightly. The roof can't stand it anymore. It's all broken."
I didn’t repair it when the weather was good years ago, but I didn’t expect it would snow so heavily that I would have no choice but to bother my in-laws.”
Xu Youde greeted and said, "What can I say? It doesn't bother me at all. During the New Year, there is a lot of food at home, and the portions are sufficient. The two families celebrate the New Year as one family. It is lively and joyful. There is no need to be restrained. Brother and sister,
There are also big and small babies, all sitting together, just like at home, and they can eat freely later. Today is the New Year, so I won’t say anything more, just eat and drink happily to celebrate the New Year.”
No matter how unhappy Xu Zhang was, she didn't want to see Liao, so for the sake of New Year's Eve, she also gave them a seat.
Fortunately, there are fewer people in Lao Xu's house this year, so there is a spare seat. If you squeeze in, you can sit down.
Dabao and Xiaobao looked at the table full of delicious food and almost drooled.
If it wasn't that Mrs. Liao was watching them and not letting them move, she might have taken action before the host even invited them to eat.
Ms. Liao was extremely grateful, "I just told you that my father-in-law is a passionate person. We, Hong Hai, said we had no shame in coming. I said we were not willing. We are celebrating the Chinese New Year. If something like this happens, we can't even have a hot meal."
They can’t even afford it. The in-laws’ family has a large population and plenty of food, so there is no shortage of food for just the few of us. I think our two families are so close. This year we came to the in-laws’ house for a reunion dinner, and next year we will ask Liao Qing to bring him.
It is also feasible for the in-laws to go to our Lao Liao’s house for a New Year’s Eve dinner and have a lot of fun together, father-in-law, do you think so?”
Liao Qing was nominated and did not move at all. He just pretended not to hear and did not participate.
Ask him to take Lao Xu's family to Lao Liao's house for a New Year's Eve dinner? This is obviously a polite word for the sake of food and drink. Who doesn't know what kind of person Liao is? He just opens his mouth and can say polite words.
Xu Youde smiled and replied, "My sister is right. Let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together as a family. It's nothing. You're welcome. Brother Hong Hai, there's no need to be restrained. You're not as thoughtful as my elder sister!"
Liao Honghai waved his hand quickly, "Sorry, sorry."
After a few more polite words, I saw that the children were eager to try and couldn't wait.
Lao Xu's family began to worship their ancestors.
In previous years, before the reunion dinner started, Xu Youde would take the lead in saying some auspicious words, offering incense to the ancestors, and then offering a glass of wine to each ancestor, which was sprinkled under the four sides of the table, and at the same time chanting some words in his mouth, that is, who was in the family.
