On New Year's Eve, Mu Shaoling, Ruan Bai, two babies, and a family of four were eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the party.
At the Mu family's old house, neither of us had much to eat.
While eating, Mu Shaoling and Ruan Bai's cell phones kept ringing, full of New Year blessing messages, most of which were copied and pasted.
The blessings Ruan Bai received all came from relatives and friends, some colleagues with whom he had good relationships, and some work clients.
She replied to everyone who sent her New Year wishes. After all, this was considered polite.
Mu Shaoling was too lazy to return.
He only replied to a few people with whom he had a good relationship, and ignored the others who were flattering and wanted to get closer to him.
A simple midnight snack, the whole family had a great time.
After eating the midnight snack, the two babies felt sleepy and went to bed early.
Mu Shaoling put her arms around Ruan Bai and wanted to carry her to the bedroom. After struggling all day, she was tired, especially now that she was pregnant and couldn't bear the fatigue. But Ruan Bai insisted on making a drawer of dumplings.
Because according to the traditional customs in my hometown, dumplings are eaten on the first day of the new year, which means "new year's blessings" and "good luck and good luck".
Mu Shaoling was not very happy at first because he was afraid that Ruan Bai would be tired, but he couldn't restrain her coquettishness and finally chose to compromise.
The two of them were busy in the kitchen again.
There were all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator. Considering that Mu Shaoling and the two babies were both carnivores, she chose to prepare meat fillings.
Afraid that Ruan Bai would be tired, Mu Shaoling asked her to sit on a stool nearby and give instructions while he took action himself.
He followed Ruan Bai's words, washed a piece of pork and beef, then minced it with a meat grinder, then added cooking wine, chicken essence, pepper powder, etc., as well as chopped onions, ginger and garlic, and finally poured it with cooking wine and oil.
A pot of fragrant dumpling filling is ready.
Then, Mu Shaoling was responsible for learning to roll out dumpling wrappers, while Ruan Bai was responsible for making dumplings.
Ruan Bai's hands were very skillful. After a while, dozens of beautiful dumplings of different shapes appeared on the chopping board, including butterfly, ingot, and jade shapes. Mu Shaoling was dazzled by the sight.
He tried to make one himself, but the dumpling turned out to be soft and looked like a wilted, underfed little hedgehog. It was so miserable that it made Ruan Bai laugh.
Ruan Bai didn't expect that the all-powerful Mu Shaoling was so poor in cooking skills.
In the end, she made all the dumplings by herself.
By the time everything was done, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the two of them went to the bedroom to rest.
Ruan Bai's body was cold, but Mu Shaoling was like a ball of fire. She was held in his arms and listened to the man's strong heartbeat. Until now, she even felt that their being together was a beautiful dream.
He was her longing when she was a girl. She thought she would never meet again in this life, but she didn't expect that fate would be so unpredictable. The male god who was out of reach when she was young is now by her side. No matter how time passes,
They could still be together, and everything else seemed small and insignificant.
At around five o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, before it even got dark, Ruan Bai was awakened by the crackling sound of firecrackers.
Although the city government of A prohibits setting off firecrackers, many people still set off firecrackers secretly. Without the sound of firecrackers, there would be no feeling of celebrating the New Year at all.
Ruan Bai wanted to get up, but Mu Shaoling was wrapped around his body and he couldn't move at all.
Mu Shaoling always got up very early, but it was rare that it was the first day of the new year, holding his beloved Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, and it was the first time that he stayed in bed without thinking about it.
"Mom, Dad, it's time to get up!" The two little guys banged their door loudly, and the little guys called them to get up.
Ruan Bai looked at the man who was pestering him in a funny way and forced him to get up.
While Mu Shaoling was getting dressed, he looked like a big child who had been wronged. When he looked at Ruan Bai with his clear and handsome eyes, there was a look of resentment on his face, and he even had opinions about the baby in her belly.
Now he really feels that it is not a good thing to have a few noisy little devils at home, disturbing the love between him and his wife!
Because the people living around them are from very good families and are not subject to restrictions, compared to the citizens who strictly abide by the terms and dare not set off firecrackers and fireworks blatantly, the wealthy areas are actually having a lively life.
The sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside is endless, big and small, far and near, making deafening sounds. Although it disturbs the tranquility of the morning, it makes this new year seem more festive.
Ruan Bai made dumplings in the kitchen and placed other meals on the table one by one.
Mu Shaoling took out a hanging firecracker, lit it with a lighter, and set it off with two children in the courtyard of the villa.
From time to time, the cheering sounds of the brother and sister could be heard outside, and indirectly, the voices of the two babies curiously asking about Mu Shaoling could be vaguely heard.
"Dad, why do we set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year?"
“Why do we eat dumplings on New Year’s Day?”
"..."
Mu Shaoling patiently answered them one by one. Ruan Bai looked at the warm interaction between father and son through the kitchen window, and his heart was filled with warm happiness.
Mu Zhanbai was so courageous that he asked his father to light firecrackers. He was very excited.
Ruanruan, on the other hand, is timid and covers her little ears and hides far away. She is always frightened and screamed by the sudden sound of cannons.
She pinched her ears and ran back and forth in the yard.
The twin brother smiled mischievously, knowing that his sister was afraid of firecrackers, so he deliberately lit a firecracker and threw it towards his sister. Then, he laughed happily on the sidelines.
Mu Ruoruan looked at the lit firecrackers, running towards her like a scurrying mouse. She was so frightened that she called her mother and ran to the kitchen while screaming.
But that cannon seemed to have eyes and kept chasing the little girl. Ruanruan was almost scared to tears. She was yelling about her brother and yelling for help until Mu Shaoling smiled and picked her up.
My precious daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
The little princess lay aggrievedly on Mu Shaoling's shoulder, with tears of fright brewing in her big clear eyes.
Mu Shaoling kissed his daughter's cheek distressedly and frowned at his mischievous son...
Mu Zhanbai smiled and ran to the kitchen, looking for his mother's protection.
The family finished the dumplings in a lively manner.
Mu Shaoling first drove his family to the Mu family's old house to pay New Year greetings to the old man, and then went to Grandpa Ruan's place to send New Year blessings to the old man.
After coming back, the two babies had several big red envelopes in their hands.
Ruan Bai encouraged them to store it for themselves and do something meaningful later.
After returning from Grandpa Ruan's place, Mu Shaoling planned to take his family to Yan Jiwen's place. The other party had invited his family to visit him for a long time, but he had been very busy and had no time.
In the driving luxury car, Mu Shaoling turned on the radio.
He and Ruan Bai both have a common hobby, which is listening to the radio.
Because the radio only has sound, everything depends on your imagination, and sometimes it is even more interesting than watching TV.
After the family listened to several New Year blessing songs, suddenly a touching story attracted Ruan Bai's attention...
