The Friendship Hotel has been hosting New Year's Eve dinners since last year, and it is even more popular this year. It is full every day before New Year's Eve. There are people hosting this banquet and that wedding banquet. Even the big boss himself is too busy. In addition to close relatives and elders,
In Xu Suizhu's case, he personally drove the car to deliver the New Year's goods, while other relatives and friends sent assistants to deliver the goods. Otherwise, they would be really busy.
Xu Suizhu returned him a pre-prepared New Year gift, including fresh lobsters, king crabs and other top-quality seafood, vacuumed special-grade dried seafood, nourishing medicinal wine, fruit wine, ointments, and the ones that just arrived today
Rare wild mushrooms.
Apart from anything else, this first-class wild mushroom really surprised Wang Youzhi: "Where did you buy this? There is such a big Hericium? Oh, there are also red mushrooms and morels.
?You spent a lot of money, right? Tsk, sister! You don’t need to be polite here.”
"I didn't buy it, I picked it from my own island." Xu Suizhu explained with a smile, "Brother Wang, just don't accuse me of being stingy." What she returned was almost all home-produced and sold New Year's goods.
Wang Youzhi laughed out loud: "Auntie, please don't make fun of me! I have a bad brain to dislike such a good thing. By the way, does your Fuju Island produce this? Why didn't I pay attention before?"
"It's not Fuju Island, it grows wild on Fuling Island. My dad accidentally discovered it."
"Fu Ling Island?" Wang Youzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, "Oh, it's Ah Xiao's birthday gift to you, right? Doesn't it mean that the island is quite far away and doesn't have fresh water? There are so many good things there? Ouch!
It makes me feel itchy, and I want to reserve an island for development..."
This was purely a joke, but it did not prevent him from being interested in Fuling Island.
"Brother, I will follow you to the island for a walk sometime."
"Let's wait until the tree house is built." Xu Suizhu said, "If we go now, there is not enough room to live, and it is winter, what fun can we have."
"That's right. Let's make an appointment when the weather warms up?"
"Okay." Xu Suizhu said helplessly, "Second brother, it will get dark if we continue chatting. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"
"Haha." Wang Youzhi smiled and waved his hand, "Tonight is New Year's Eve. There are many guests in the hotel, so I have to go back and sit in charge. I will come to see you again in the first month of the year."
After Wang Youzhi left, Xu Suizhu, with the help of everyone, put away the New Year gifts.
I kept enough fresh meat such as pork, beef, and mutton to eat today and tomorrow. I also cut some fried meatballs and marinated meat, and froze the rest. Thaw it when you want to eat it. Otherwise, it will go bad before the New Year.
Fortunately, in order to stock up on yellow beef, I took advantage of the huge price cuts at electrical appliance stores last year and bought a few more freezers in one go.
Her aunt's inn also runs a catering business. The resort cafeteria also added a freezer. The remaining one was placed in the town. Most of the New Year gifts sent by various families were food. A polite gift would be a complete set.
A pig hind leg, half a fan of pork... Even if I use some of it as a return gift, the rest won't be consumed for a while. This problem was solved by adding a new refrigerator. Even so, as soon as Wang Youzhi's New Year's gift was delivered, the family's
The refrigerator and freezer are packed to the brim.
In the evening, we cut a red beef tenderloin and big tail lamb loin for hot pot shabu-shabu, and asked Xiao Wu to pick up her parents-in-law and her aunt's family. There were many people eating hot pot, and the children were laughing and laughing.
Unexpectedly, Baozi's father also arrived before dinner.
"I thought you might not come back until tomorrow." Xu Suizhu helped him take off his coat and put on his home plaid cotton pajamas.
This is a New Year's gift she prepared for her family. The inside is made of this year's new cotton, which is fluffy and fluffy. The surface is made of brushed plaid cotton, which is soft and warm when worn on the body.
Not only do the children like it, but the parents-in-law and the old man also say it is very comfortable to wear.
Lu Chixiao was so angry that he didn't feel cold in the winter in Yupu at all.
Compared to the north, the temperature here seems to him to be quite gentle. He has never seen snow, so how cold can it be?
But the child's mother was so considerate that he wouldn't put it on the bottom of the suitcase and would habitually change into it when he got home. At worst, he would wear a shirt underneath.
Seeing the young couple changing their clothes, the elders couldn't help laughing.
"Second brother, didn't you say there was still a meeting this morning? Why did you rush back the same day?" Mrs. Lu joked that her son had no pressure.
"I'll be back when I have nothing to do in the afternoon." Lu Chixiao pretended that he didn't hear the teasing in his mother's words, "Isn't the pearl going to be released tomorrow?"
"It's the day after tomorrow." Xu Suizhu came out with a mandarin duck pot half filled with red oil and half filled with clear soup, and said casually, "There will be an exchange meeting in the county tomorrow. I will take the children to go shopping and buy some if there is any shortage. You have to be busy.
Just mind your own business."
Lu Chixiao didn't say anything, but Lu Zhanfeng frowned: "What's so good about the exchange meeting? It's crowded." Isn't it just selling some New Year's goods, and there aren't enough New Year's goods at home?
"What do you know!" Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at him, "This is the atmosphere! Do you understand the atmosphere of the New Year?!"
Lu Zhanfeng twitched his lips: I really can’t understand.
"If you guys don't like it, just stay at home, and we women can go eat and drink by ourselves."
"Milk, milf, I want to go!" Little Baozi raised his little hands high, "Last year it rained and I couldn't go. The year before last, I was still young and had no memory of it. This year I really want to go and see what the exchange meeting will be like.
.”
Mrs. Lu laughed and glanced at her husband: "Did you see? My dear grandson wants to go!"
Lu Zhanfeng remained silent now.
Whatever my dear grandson likes, he always supports unconditionally.
Xu Tiejun also said: "I have nothing to do at home anyway, so we might as well go for a walk together."
Xu Xiuyuan and her husband nodded in unison: "Go! Let's go together! My in-laws are right, it only happens once a year, just to create an atmosphere!"
Seeing that the adults agreed, Little Baozi and Zhuangzhuang cheered loudly, and ran to the elders one by one, nuzzling them, kissing them, and spreading colorful rainbow farts for free, making the whole table laugh.
.
Every time she saw this familiar scene, Xu Suizhu couldn't help but twitch her lips: With the love of so many elders, it was a blessing that her son was not raised crookedly.
That night, after everyone was settled and the children were put to sleep, Xu Suizhu returned to the room carrying a pot of herbal tea that can help with sleep.
As soon as he entered the door, he was hugged by his father.
My neck felt cold, and there was a platinum, diamond and sapphire pendant.
"Do you like the New Year gift?" The man asked softly against her shoulder.
"I like it." She answered truthfully, tilting her head and kissing Baozi Daddy on the face, "But why did you think of buying another necklace? Didn't you just buy a diamond chain last year? I haven't worn it a few times yet."
"Don't you like gems? And this one is platinum, which matches the ring better."
Their wedding rings were very simple, just a pair of smooth and round platinum rings.
Compared to the items in her jewelry box, the wedding ring was the most inconspicuous one, so inconspicuous that it could easily be mistaken for a silver ring.
