Chapter 233 New Year's Eve Dinner

After placing the order, Jiang Qi suddenly realized that he had lost money!

He lost a full 9 yuan ah!
If you spend 1 yuan, you can get 10 yuan off. This book is only 9999 yuan, which is only one yuan away from the full discount! !
Conspiracy, this is definitely Xiaoka's conspiracy! ! !

Jiang Qi, who had successfully placed the order, suddenly felt a strong sense of regret. It felt like he had placed an order when ordering takeout, only to find out that this restaurant was full of 20-4 and full of 30-8, and he had just My order is exactly 29 yuan.

Jiang Qi's expression gradually twisted.

Jiang Pei, who noticed Jiang Qi's distorted expression, thought that Jiang Qi had a stomach ache and asked with concern: "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you? Did you eat badly in the morning and feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"

"It's nothing, I just bought something, and after I finished shopping, I realized that I didn't make up the full discount." Jiang Qi said with a sad face, "By the way, do you know what to eat tonight?"

"I only know that my mother bought snow crab, abalone, sea cucumber, gimai shrimp, and a whole sheep. My grandfather helped to buy local chicken and local pork in the country. Then last night he took me and my dad to the supermarket to buy a lot. Quick-frozen dishes. Such as golden cakes, eight-treasure rice, etc. My mother bought 10 boxes of eight-treasure rice! I feel that I may have to eat eight-treasure rice every day in the next period of time." Jiang Wanwan put on a pain mask.

"The eight-treasure rice is so delicious. I can't wait to eat it every day." Wen Luo, who loves sweets, complained about the eight-treasure rice. "I'm going to eat a whole portion tonight!"

"The quick-frozen eight-treasure rice bought in the supermarket is not delicious at all." Jiang Wanwan curled her lips, "Sometimes it is not warmed up, some places are soft, and some places are still hard. It looks good, but it tastes too greasy. Yes, the red bean paste inside is sweet and greasy, and the outside is so big, mixed with the candied fruit on top, it is so sweet and greasy that it makes people want to vomit."

"The rice on the outermost layer is okay. Why do you say that there is so much bean paste in the middle of eight-treasure rice? No one likes to eat it. Every time you eat eight-treasure rice, you finish the outer rice, and the bean paste is left on the plate. "

Wen Luo, a lover of eight-treasure rice, also had to admit that Jiang Wanwan was right. After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe it's because the eight-treasure rice is sweet. If there's not so much bean paste in it, the rice outside will be tasteless."

"The main reason is that you haven't eaten fresh ones." Jiang Pei said with a smile, "there was a mother-in-law downstairs in the company I worked for who sold eight-treasure rice. During the blooming season, the mother-in-law will chop the sweet-scented osmanthus and mix it in the bean paste filling, and the bean paste filling will have the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, not greasy at all."

"It is easy to gain weight by eating every day."

Wen Luo showed a yearning expression.

"I remember that the vegetable market also sold ready-made eight-treasure rice." Jiang Bing said, "I still had it when I was in junior high school. When I was in elementary school, my mother took me to the vegetable market to buy it. I bought it and put it in a steamer. It can be eaten after steaming for a few minutes, and you can also ask the boss to steam a small portion and put it in a bag to eat directly.”

"How can there be freshly made eight-treasure rice now." Jiang Qi said, "Nowadays, if you want to eat rice dumplings in bamboo tubes, you have to go to the gates of various schools to try your luck, and some schools may not have them at the gates."

Wen Luo sighed: "I really want to eat the freshly made and steamed eight-treasure rice."

"Don't think about it, if you want to eat, work hard, maybe it's possible to do it yourself." Jiang Wanwan said ruthlessly.

Jiang Qi had other ideas, and quietly said to Jiang Bing: "CC has Chinese food chefs and Western food chefs, sister, do you think CC's Chinese food chefs can cook eight-treasure rice? How about I ask Yan Huaiyou and suggest that he launch a special New Year's eight-treasure rice set. "

Jiang Bing: ...

Jiang Bing imagined the situation of the script killing shop selling eight-treasure rice, and by the way, imagined the scene of a group of aunts who came back from grocery shopping in line at the door of the script killing shop, waiting to buy the freshly steamed eight-treasure rice.

She wants to eat.

Jiang Bing nodded solemnly: "I think this is a good idea!"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Jiang Wanwan jumped up and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

The aunt in the kitchen was also alarmed, and she poked her head out and asked, "Have any of you ordered takeaway? If you order takeaway, help me order takeaway from the supermarket and buy some drinks. The rice wine and juice at home may not be enough."

A group of people looked at each other, obviously no one ordered takeaway.

Jiang Wanwan walked to the door.

"Hello, is Mr. Jiang Qi there? Your courier!" the courier shouted outside the door.

Jiang Qi: ? ? ?
Crowd: ? ? ?
"Why did you fill in the shipping address at Uncle's house?" Jiang Bing was stunned.

"I didn't..." Jiang Qi was about to deny it, when he suddenly realized that the courier was most likely the "New Year's Eve Dinner" he had just ordered.

What speed is this?
Has it been 30 minutes since he placed the order?
This is a flash giveaway!

"It was the courier I bought before, and the delivery during the Chinese New Year is not special? The courier called me yesterday and told me that it might be delivered today, and asked me if I was at home, so I asked him to deliver it directly to my uncle's house." Jiang Qi began Make up nonsense.

This nonsense successfully fooled everyone. After all, no one received a courier on New Year's Eve.

Jiang Wanwan opened the door.

At the door is a courier boy and a huge box on the ground, which is half the height of a person, with a big red mark of fragile items on it.

"Hello, please ask Mr. Jiang Qi to come out and sign for it." The courier boy said with a smile.

Jiang Qi hurried out to sign for the delivery.

The courier boy said enthusiastically: "Your courier is quite heavy, let me move it in for you."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Qi said, "It's really hard work for you to deliver express delivery during the Chinese New Year."

"No hard work, no hard work, you are my last order, I will go home from get off work and celebrate the New Year after delivery!" The courier boy said cheerfully, helping Jiang Qi put the half-person-high courier box in the living room firmly, happy Going home from get off work for the New Year.

The whole family gathered here.

Even the auntie and Jiang Xiaohong, who were busy in the kitchen, came over with a spatula and a kitchen knife. Since Jiang Xiaohong walked over with a kitchen knife in a rather aggressive manner, Wen Luo, who was not at all defensive, jumped up in fright. The first reaction was that his mother saw him playing with his mobile phone and took a kitchen knife to hack his mobile phone.

"Xiaoqi, what did you buy? Why is it such a big box?" Jiang Xiaohong squeezed to the edge of the courier with the kitchen knife in her hand, and looked up and down. Jiang Xiaoliang watched from afar.

"Um...I...this...should be the exclusive book I bought years ago!" Jiang Qi said, and began to educate the elders in the family about the normal purchase process, "There are many exclusive and city-limited books in the script killing None of them are in stock, and the book may not have been fully written and finalized when it is sold out. Therefore, these books are usually paid for and placed first, and then wait for the seller to deliver the goods. We don’t know when the seller will deliver the goods.”

"So I don't really know what this book is, after all, I bought quite a few years ago." Jiang Qi tried hard to explain why this damn "New Year's Eve Dinner" was sent over on New Year's Eve.

It will be delivered immediately after the order is placed, and it will be delivered wherever the person is.

"Oh." Everyone suddenly realized.

Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Qi said inexplicably under pressure: "Then I... disassemble the express delivery?"

"Tear it down, tear it down!"

Jiang Qi opened the courier.

What's inside is pretty simple.

tableware.

Very normal household tableware, no fancy shapes, no colorful white porcelain plates, white porcelain bowls, wooden chopsticks.Because it is a fragile item, it is tightly wrapped in foam, which is why the courier is so big.

Jiang Qi took out all the tableware and counted them, and found that there were 40 sets of tableware, 27 plates and a box the size of a safe.

Square and square, quite heavy, there are three big characters printed on this box - New Year's Eve dinner.

""New Year's Eve Dinner"? Brother Jiang Qi, is this exclusive name you just bought called "New Year's Eve Dinner"?" Jiang Wanwan was shocked when she saw the box, "It's a name that fits the occasion. This release is intentional, right? Let you get the goods on New Year's Eve."

"I think so too." Jiang Qi felt the same way and opened the box.

Things in this box are even simpler.

All this.

It is not the kind of book that is ordered like a normal book. It uses a drawer to clamp several sheets of paper like clamping documents or test papers when reading. It is very simple, and it even looks a bit like a pirated copy, full of cheap breath book.

It's really a cheap book limited to the New Year's Eve. From the book, it can be seen that there is a cheap atmosphere everywhere.

There are so many character books that the number of books is unclear.The elders who came to watch the excitement saw that the legendary script was just like this, without so many bells and whistles as they had imagined, so they dispersed. Those who played chess played chess, those who cooked vegetables, and only the younger generations were left around. On the side of this box.

"Damn it, how many character books are these? Why are there so many character books? Each book is quite thick." Jiang Wanwan was startled when she saw the densely packed character books.

"Which one in our store has to read this book? It takes a few days to read the book, right?" Jiang Wanwan counted back and forth several times for fear of making a mistake. "There are 40 character books, and they are not A and B books, but 40. A character book for a different character!"

"This has to be opened in the venue of "Red Tears", right? Can a normal room hold a book for 40 people? Brother Jiang Qi, what type of book did you buy? It's the same random number of people as "Kitchen Gods Competition" the kind?"

"Maybe." Jiang Qi said that he didn't know how this book was opened, he knew the name of this book.

Jiang Bing took out the character book named Zhou Chuan on the top, and flipped through it: "Wow, what a bad texture. It turns out that there are still clipped character books these days. I thought this kind of clipped book was only Only two or three years old editions will be available."

"Is this bad?" Jiang Pei didn't quite understand.

"It's... very cheap." Jiang Bing simply explained, "To save costs, the book Jiang Qi bought is an exclusive. The exclusive is usually four to five thousand copies, and the cheaper one is more than 3000. Think about how many thousand. I bought a bunch of these for only [-] yuan, so I know how black-hearted this publishing company is.”

Jiang Bing glanced at the cover, card game studio.

"The books of this studio are more expensive. My brother is like crazy when he encounters the books published by this studio. He bought all the books published by their family. Some are good and some are not. Miss Peipei The horror book you saw on the hot search that scared the traffickers into fainting and surrendered was produced by this studio, 10, and my brother was the only one who took advantage of it and bought it in the whole country."

Jiang Pei:? ? ?
Jiang Pei didn't understand, but Jiang Pei was shocked.

Jiang Pei felt that she should re-examine his cousin.

At first, she only thought that Jiang Bingjiang's family would be the most prodigal, after all, opening a store would lead to the failure of the other, every year it opens, every year it closes down.But now it seems that Jiang Qiqing is better than blue. After years of influence and influence, Jiang Qi is not bad.

Jiang Qi: ...

"I'll go to the guest room and read the book." Jiang Qi picked up the book box, "Anyway, I'm free, I have nothing to eat at noon today, so I have to wait until evening to have a New Year's Eve dinner together."

"I'll come out by myself when I'm done watching, so you don't have to look for me."

Jiang Pei expressed understanding that she also needs to be quiet when she is working, and she doesn't like people to disturb her.

"Don't worry, we won't disturb you." Jiang Pei said with a smile.

Jiang Qi walked into the guest room with a box of books in his arms.

The decoration of Jiang Wanwan's guest room is relatively simple. It used to be Jiang Wanwan's study, but after buying a bed and putting it in, it became a guest room.The desk was custom-made by a carpenter more than ten years ago. The entire wall and the bookcase are integrated into a huge desk. It could accommodate four children, Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Qi, Jiang Bing and Wen Luo, to do their homework at the same time.

Such a large desk is more than enough for reading books.

Jiang Qi dug out 40 thick character books, looked at each character book, and found that most of the people in these character books were surnamed Zhou, Zhou Xing, Zhou Chuan, Zhou Boyuan, Zhou Li, etc. The names should be is a family.

Is this a super big family with 40 people?

How many tables do these 40 people have to gather around for a New Year's Eve dinner?

This book not only has many characters and is thick, but the host manual is also ridiculously thick. Those who know it are the fun book, and those who don't know it think it is the reasoning book.However, the moderator's manual is bound normally and is not held up with clips.

Jiang Qi picked and picked among a bunch of character books, and finally settled on Zhou Yuan.

There is one thing to say, Zhou Yuan has to give her a discount when she comes to play this game.

Not for anything else, just for this special fate.

Jiang Qi first clicked on the cover of Zhou Yuan's character book and sent it to Zhou Yuan before opening the book silently.

'Your name is Zhou Yuan, and you are a Beijing drifter whose life is not very satisfactory.

...'

It is said that life is unsatisfactory, but in fact Miss Zhou Yuan in this script is a normal migrant worker.

An ordinary university graduate, not an only child, there is an older brother and a younger sister in the family.I have a stable boyfriend who is a worker at the same position. I work as an English teacher in a counseling institution. I work relatively leisurely. I go to work at 12 noon and leave work at 9 pm every day. I can sleep in. The price is that the salary is not very high, and I can barely live by renting a house with my boyfriend. .

If there is any difference between Ms. Zhou Yuan and other migrant workers, it must be that her family is very large.

Surprisingly large!

She herself has a brother and a sister, a family of five, more than a normal family of three or four.

In addition, she has grandparents, 4 aunts, 3 uncles and 2 uncles. Some of these uncles and aunts are older and unmarried, and some have three children like her family. All relatives including her add up. There are 3 names!
Jiang Qi guessed that these 40 characters should have been among the 42 people, and the remaining two should be important NPCs with names.

The character book is thick because Act 1 is very long.Not for anything else, just because there are too many people in the family, so many uncles, aunts, cousins, some have a good relationship, some have a bad relationship, some have played together since childhood, and some can only see each other during the Chinese New Year. back.

It took 23 pages just to talk about the relationship between these characters, which made Jiang Qi dizzy. After the first scene, he couldn't even tell who was who.

"What kind of bad book is this?" After watching the first act, Jiang Qi closed the book, and complained mercilessly, "There are so many and complicated relationships between characters, it should be a family ethics drama! Everyone will remember it while reading it. I can’t help it, let alone talk about who has feud with whom, who gets admitted to a prestigious university, who finds a good job, who likes to show off, who is narrow-minded.”

"What are you writing? This is, is it for people to read? I don't know how to play without understanding the relationship between the characters?"

Jiang Qi wanted to read it again, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. Why did he read it so carefully without opening the book?Professional matters should be left to professional people. Let Liu Lan read this book after the holiday is over, and see if it can be changed. If it can’t be changed, it will be frozen like "Eat Your Heart".

Just hope this instinct draws a card as useful as Cauldron.

At this point in time, the stone pot is still bubbling conscientiously in the lo mei shop!

Jiang Qi went on to watch the second act.

After experiencing the complicated relationship between the characters, Zhou Yuan, an ordinary migrant worker, began to show her villainous side as the protagonist of the script.

Zhou Yuan had a bad year.

I was frustrated at work everywhere, and my bonus was deducted a lot at the end of the year, and the year-end bonus was a quarter less than last year. The most important thing is that the annual leave is only three days.

Zhou Yuan, who has nothing in her purse, bought a fake famous brand and a bunch of new year gifts in order not to lose face in front of her relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. A bunch of lies about how good he was this year, a double harvest in career and love, and being highly valued by the leaders, set foot on the train to go home.

Jiang Qi looked at the task in this scene.

'Your task:
1. Chinese New Year is the most important thing for your Zhou family. You don’t lose if you lose. You must know that there are many good people among your cousins. You can’t lose on such an important occasion. Fake famous brand Also want to blow up a real brand name.Be sure to show off to your relatives at home how good you are this year.

2. Hide your poor little vest, and don't let others find you lying. '

Jiang Qi: ...

Very good, it has the smell of tearing up the book.

Jiang Qi turned to the next page.

'Today is New Year's Eve, you came to the entrance of the village where your grandparents live.You're nervous because you know you're the last one, and your relatives will ask you why you came back so late this year.

But that's okay, you've already made up your reasons.

You take a deep breath and take the first step home. '

With a flash of white light, Jiang Qi entered the memory.
.
When Jiang Qi came back to his senses, he was standing on the road in the countryside.

There are many magnificently built houses around. It doesn't look like a village, but more like a villa area.The surrounding environment is also very good, the road is well-built, there is not much rubbish on the road, flowers, plants and small trees are planted in every household, it can be seen that the people in this village are generally quite rich.

The sky is quite bright, and considering that the time in the script world is New Year's Eve, Jiang Qi estimates that it is about noon.

Zhou Yuan was standing next to Jiang Qi, dragging her suitcase, and carrying the wine and supplements she had bought for a huge sum of money, all of which she bought for her grandparents.

Zhou Yuan slowly walked towards the self-built house in the shape of a three-story villa in front, and a sense of torment spread in the air.

Push the door and enter.

"Ouch, Yuanyuan is back!"

"Yuanyuan, you are back. If your parents said you would definitely come back this year, we would have thought you would not come back this year for the New Year! Your hall brother came back when he was young, and he came back specially to accompany your grandfather for the New Year."

"Is it cold outside? Go back to your room and put your luggage away. You and Panpan will live together this year."

"you……"

Amid the friendly or ostentatious greetings from relatives, Zhou Yuan dragged her suitcase upstairs, while Jiang Qi stayed downstairs to look at the big family.

To be honest, there were far fewer people than he had imagined.

When I read the book, there were 42 relatives with first and last names.

When he walked to the door, Jiang Qi was still muttering in his heart. The three-story villa looked quite big, but it didn't look like it could accommodate 42 people.

As a result, as soon as they came in, there were no 42 people at all.

Jiang Qi counted them carefully, and judged their identities based on their conversations with each other, and determined that there were only 15 people in the house.

They are grandparents, uncle's family of three, second uncle's family of three, third uncle's family of five (Zhou Yuan's family), uncle (bachelor) and aunt.

It's just a normal family.

The eldest aunt in this family likes to show off more, and the eldest brother seems to have made a lot of money doing business outside.Uncle, as a bachelor in his 40s, grandma still didn't seem to give up the idea of ​​letting him find a wife, and kept talking to him, telling him that you are such a big man, you should find a wife, even if you don't have children It's nice to have someone together.

The uncle may not like his mother's nagging very much, and he ignored his mother from the beginning to the end.

The aunt who came back alone for the New Year saw that there was a story in her body, and everyone wanted to explore her story, but my aunt was a soldier who came to block me, and the water was flooded. If you want me, I will go to work. Sneaked into the kitchen early to help the second aunt cook.

When Zhou Yuan packed up and came down, the show off meeting downstairs had already started.

The great aunt is showing off the new gold bracelet her son bought her.

The workmanship is exquisite, golden, and the big gold bracelet is full of weight at first glance. The gold bracelet is so heavy that the aunt's wrist can't lift it up.

"Look at this gold bracelet. Xiaoyu insisted on buying it for me. I just passed by the gold store and looked at it a few more times. How frugal am I? Now that gold is so expensive, how much does this gold bracelet cost?" ?”

"I told Xiaoyu at the time not to buy it, but he insisted on buying it for me, saying that he made money anyway. Now that life is better, he can buy it if he likes it. It is his filial piety as a son."

"Oh, those words really touched my heart. I was fooled by him at the time. You don't know how heavy this bracelet is. It's really uncomfortable to wear on your hands. But after all, it's Xiaoyu's heart. Well, I have to take it with me." The eldest aunt said happily, with very rich expressions on her face, heartache at times, embarrassment at times, and joy at times, her acting skills are so bad.

It was so bad that her husband and her son (Zhou Yu) couldn't even watch it.

The expression on Zhou Yuan's face was also indescribable. She wanted to open her mouth to brag about her fraudulent achievements this year, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Only the grandma in the whole family was fooled, and the old lady smiled and said: "Okay, Xiaoyu is really a good boy, with filial piety. This bracelet is so beautiful, it fits perfectly on Huijuan's hand."

It may be because the voice of the old lady muttering to herself was too low, and the words of the only supporter in the audience were not heard by the auntie, so the auntie could only continue to perform alone, blowing hard, and the old lady on the side nodded straightly, With a proud face, my grandson is really up to date written all over his face.

Finally, the second uncle's daughter couldn't take it anymore, and started her own bragging, trying to suppress the big aunt's bragging.

"Oh, auntie, don't look at your gold bracelet. If the gold bracelet is too heavy and uncomfortable on your wrist, you can take it off first. Don't make it difficult for your wrist during the Chinese New Year. Look at my newly bought silver necklace. , diamond-encrusted, famous brand, if you like it, I will tell the brand to the hall brother, and let him go to the jewelry store to buy you the same model."

The expression on the eldest aunt's face froze, realizing that her home court had been taken away.Jiang Qi thought she was going to fight back, but the eldest aunt readily gave up the stage to the second uncle's daughter.

"Oh, this necklace is really good. Your grandma will definitely like it. Panpan, tell your grandma what is good about this necklace. Your grandma has never seen any diamonds in her life. Our family doesn't like buying diamond jewelry."

Zhou Pan: ...

Zhou Pan's hands trembling slightly as he held the cheap crystal imitation diamond necklace.

Yes, her so-called diamond necklace looked like it was made of cheap crystal.Even if Jiang Qi hadn't read Zhou Pan's book, she could tell that her necklace was fake, which shows how fake this necklace is. The so-called silver necklace might be plastic, the kind that can float in water.

"Yes, Panpan, tell grandma what kind of diamond necklace it is. Grandma has only one silver necklace in her life, and it was the dowry when she got married. Grandma has never seen such a foreign thing as a diamond!" Grandma was excited. up.

What answered grandma's excitement was Zhou Pan's silence.

Zhou Pan looked at the necklace in his hand and thought for a while: "Hey, these diamond products are all the same, as long as they are beautiful and shiny, there is nothing wrong with them. There is no style or style. Actually, it is not expensive, only more than 3 yuan Money, I bought it with the year-end bonus."

"Our company's performance this year is very good. In addition, I worked hard and made outstanding achievements. I took a full 6 months of year-end, which is about 10! By the way, Yuanyuan, how much did you get at the end of this year? I heard that you I got a lot in the middle of this year."

Zhou Yuan, who was suddenly cueed, quickly entered the combat mode, waved her hand, and said in a tone that was not a big deal: "I don't think you have more than Sister Panpan, it's only [-] to [-]. But our company sent a lot of gifts, I I brought them all back, such as bird's nest, sea cucumber, deer antler, ginseng oral liquid, etc. I don't need them, so I brought them back to my grandparents."

"Oh, so many good things have been posted! Yuanyuan, what does your company do? Is it specialized in this kind of health care products business? Is this good? Can I eat it? I won't get sick from it. Come on? It’s not that my aunt is talking too much, a lot of health care products these days are fake and shoddy with some messy things, so the elderly are not only unhealthy, but also sick from taking them.”

Zhou Yuan: ...

"That... Our boss likes to make these things, so he likes to post them. Auntie, you can rest assured that these things are precious. It took me... a lot of hard work and colleagues to exchange for the best products. There must be no problem." Zhou Yuan almost patted her chest to promise.

"That's good, that's good. Auntie just asked a few more words, and she definitely didn't mean to say that you are sorry." The auntie smiled.

A group of people started a bragging session.

Grandma listened cheerfully at the side, and grandpa was not interested in showing off to his children and grandchildren, so he sat on the sofa and watched TV.A group of people blew around the old lady with their eyes closed. The old lady listened with great interest for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and ran back to her room.

A group of people continued to blow.

After a while, the old lady came down, holding a stack of red envelopes in her hand, each red envelope was small and thin, all looked the same, and there was no name written on it.

The old lady walked up to Zhou Yuan and handed out the red envelope with a smile: "Come on, Yuanyuan, the red envelope from grandma. Our family Yuanyuan has grown up and made money. You buy supplements for grandma, and grandma will give you lucky money. "

Zhou Yuan was stunned when she saw the red envelope, her eyes were on the red envelope and she didn't look at her grandma, as if she was trying to make sure the red envelope was for her.

Soon, Zhou Yuan readily accepted the red envelope, showing a big smile: "Thank you grandma, grandma, happy new year!"

"Happy New Year, Yuanyuan." The grandma smiled and gave a red envelope to the next granddaughter.

Basically, everyone's reaction to accepting the red envelopes was similar to Zhou Yuan's. Everyone accepted the red envelopes readily, from the younger generation to the younger generation's parents.This may be a tradition of the Zhou family, no matter how old you are, you will get a red envelope.

At this time, there was only my aunt in the kitchen.

Grandma walked into the kitchen holding the last red envelope.

My aunt is chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

"Fang Fang, this is a red envelope from your mother." Grandma stood behind Zhou Fang and handed the red envelope to Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang didn't respond and just cut vegetables on her own.

The grandma stuffed the red envelope into Zhou Fang's pocket with a smile, and said with a smile, "You child, don't be embarrassed."

Zhou Fang, who was stuffed with a red envelope in his pocket, turned around in astonishment, and then smiled helplessly: "Mom, you stuffed me with a red envelope again, how many times have I told you that I don't need to give me a red envelope at my age."

"You have to give it as much as you want." Grandma said with a smile, "There are still some for Zhuang Zhuang. Now that you are divorced, it is not easy to bring Zhuang Zhuang back for the New Year. Mom understands, but the red envelope for me as a grandmother must be given to Zhuang Zhuang, right?"

"You are the same child. You have been like this since you were a child. If you don't want to say anything, you just pretend you didn't hear it. I am your mother. Is there anything you can't tell your mother? I ask you why Zhuangzhuang didn't come back with you this year. During the Chinese New Year, you pretended not to hear me again, if I hadn’t heard from the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, I wouldn’t even know you were divorced.”

"What's wrong with telling mom about divorce? I'm worried that mom is urging you to find someone like your brother? Is mom that kind of person? Mom urges your brother to find another one because he doesn't have a regular one. In fact, Mom just urged him to find a partner and didn't urge him to have a child."

"You guys..." Grandma began to babble to Zhou Fang, who was quietly chopping vegetables beside her.

Just as he was talking, the eldest aunt came in.

"Xiaofang, Mom just gave out red envelopes outside, did you get them?" The aunt came in to wash her hands, looked at the glutinous rice that was soaking, "Is this glutinous rice ready soon?"

Jiang Qi, who always felt weird about this family, frowned.

From the beginning of bragging, Jiang Qi felt that this family was a bit weird.

Everyone is bragging, and everyone can see that the other is bragging, and occasionally ridicule each other for bragging, but Jiang Qi can feel that they have no hostility towards each other.

Especially the eldest aunt, the eldest aunt seems to have taken a script of a villain, but the more she looks at it, the more she seems to be really careless.

The aunt's reaction just now was even more strange.

The old lady is in the kitchen, why doesn't she seem to see the old lady?
"Cough, cough, cough." Zhou Fang coughed a few times strongly, which startled both the aunt and the old lady.

The old lady hurriedly said: "Fangfang, are you okay? Could it be that you choked on something?"

The old lady patted Zhou Fang on the back.

"It's okay, mom, stop taking pictures." Zhou Fang said, "Mom, it's time to make eight-treasure rice? How about we go out first and you cook eight-treasure rice in the kitchen?"

The eldest aunt was stunned for a moment, and echoed: "Yes, Mom, it seems that it's time to make eight-treasure rice."

The old lady nodded: "Okay, leave it to me."

After all, the old lady opened the refrigerator and started looking for things.

Zhou Fang and the eldest aunt glanced at the refrigerator, looked at each other and walked out.

"Why didn't you tell me that Mom was inside?" the eldest aunt complained in a low voice.

"How can I tell you? You said that as soon as you came in, and you almost scared me to death." Zhou Fang said angrily, "Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and my mother didn't find out."

"Yes, yes, it's a good thing you react quickly."

Jiang Qi: ?
This family...can't see the old lady?

Jiang Qi thought about what he felt was wrong just now, and suddenly felt that everything was wrong.

Why did the old lady babble to the younger son, but the younger son ignored him? Why did the old lady give Zhou Yuan a red envelope, and Zhou Yuan had to stare at the red envelope for a few seconds before accepting it with a smile? Bragging hard, when bragging, keep the old lady in three sentences, and when she sees the other party's bragging is too outrageous, she will step on it twice to cover the other party.

Because the old lady could be a ghost, a ghost who didn't realize she was a ghost.

The family members couldn't see her, couldn't hear her voice, but they could feel her and see what she was holding.For other people, sending red envelopes may be a stack of red envelopes floating in the air, and they suddenly pull out one and hand it to themselves, so they will be stunned for a few seconds to judge whether it is for themselves.

So whenever the old lady does something or takes something, all eyes are on the item, not on the old lady.

Even the bragging may have been deliberately bragging to the old lady, because judging from the reactions of the whole family, it seems that only the old lady took everyone's bragging seriously.

The old lady is cooking eight-treasure rice in the kitchen.

Eight-treasure rice can be simple or complicated. The eight-treasure rice made by the old lady is obviously a very complicated version.

Jiang Qi watched as the old lady put the soaked glutinous rice into the rice cooker and began to steam the glutinous rice, and then unhurriedly took lotus seeds, red dates, preserved kumquats, longan meat, honey cherries, honeydew melon, barley rice, melon seeds, etc. Take out and sort into small bowls.

While steaming the rice, the old lady patiently removed the pits and chopped all kinds of dates, chopped the dried sweet-scented osmanthus, added some sugar and honey and mixed it into the prepared red bean paste filling.

The rest of the ingredients are either chopped, shredded, or halved. There are not many things but many types.The old lady patiently processed these ingredients one by one, waiting for the glutinous rice to be steamed.

After the glutinous rice is steamed, the old lady mixes sugar and lard into the steamed glutinous rice.Then I took out fifteen more bowls, first spread a layer of lard on the inside of the bowl, and then piled the ingredients she had processed on the bottom of the bowl in turn, layer by layer and round by round until it reached the middle Location.

After finishing the bottom layer of ingredients, the old lady spreads a layer of steamed glutinous rice, fills it with red bean paste, and spreads the last layer of glutinous rice on the bottom.This is the case for every bowl until fifteen bowls are finished.

After completing these steps, the old lady began to steam the glutinous rice.Although the house is very modern, there is an earthen stove in the kitchen, and the pot is big enough to steam fifteen bowls of rice at a time.

While steaming the rice, the old lady used a normal caliber pot on other stoves to cook the rest of the dishes.
.
With the eight-treasure rice out of the pot, all the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner have been completed.The whole family was seated, and the big round table was filled with sumptuous dishes. The old lady went back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room to serve everyone eight-treasure rice, and each bowl of eight-treasure rice was served in front of everyone.

Until the last bowl is served, which is my own bowl.

The old lady sat down with her bowl of eight-treasure rice, and said with a smile: "I found that everyone has come back these years are getting more and more together."

"Last year everyone came back to celebrate the New Year, and today everyone is back again, so good." The old lady smiled authentically, and found that no one was moving their chopsticks, and urged, "Everyone eat, Yuanyuan, Panpan, Xiaozhuan, Eat food."

"The eight-treasure rice is still hot, and I'll eat it later." The old lady said so, but she picked up the eight-treasure rice with chopsticks first.

The white glutinous rice is covered with black bean paste, wrapped in green plum shreds, white lotus seeds and red dates, all in one bite.

The old lady opened her mouth wide, trying to wrap it in one gulp, but found that she couldn't wrap it.

She can't eat.

The old lady was stunned.

She looked at her hands, the chopsticks in her hands, the glutinous rice on the chopsticks, and then at the table full of people who all looked at her family at the same time, as if she understood something.

"So... am I already dead?" The old lady murmured, "Yes, I am dead, I died two months ago, how did I forget?"

"No wonder everyone doesn't pay much attention to me. I thought I was too old to annoy you."

The old lady smiled, and looked at her daughter who was staring in her direction, but couldn't stare at her, and couldn't help but started crying.

"It's really difficult for you, and you have to work so hard to act with me."

The old lady's body gradually became transparent.

Now, everyone can see her.

"Mom." Zhou Fang cried, "Mom, are you leaving?"

The eldest aunt also began to wipe away tears.

"Mom is leaving." The old lady said with a smile, "Seeing that you are all doing well, I can rest assured to reincarnate."

"Before I left, I always regretted that I couldn't make it to the Chinese New Year, and I couldn't cook eight-treasure rice for everyone on New Year's Eve. How can the ones bought outside be as delicious as the ones I made by myself? Now it's all over, and the last regret is over. I You can leave with confidence."

"Grandma." Zhou Yuan wanted to catch grandma, but it was in vain.

"Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, grandma can't eat the supplements you brought for grandma."

"Old man, I'm leaving, help me take good care of everyone."

"Ah."

The old lady became more and more transparent until she disappeared.

Jiang Qi left the memory.
