don't wear no acquaintance

At the beginning of the lanterns, the Zhao family's old house was brightly lit. All the masters of the Zhao family were sitting in the main hall of the front hall, eight people in total, old and young, without separate seats.

The large square table is filled with various meat and vegetable dishes. In the middle, a big fish with its head facing the main table and a whole roast chicken look very delicious. These two dishes are placed together to form a neat reunion;

Looking at the twelve dishes of eight-treasure duck, roasted mutton, Wanfu meat, venison soup, braised mountain delicacies, croquettes, braised tofu, fermented rice and sweet soup, and two plates of dumplings, representing the four seasons, December, and each month. Good health and success are also a token of gratitude for the past year and best wishes for the new year.

The food and wine on this table are not extravagant, but the people in the kitchen are extremely attentive. They not only pay attention to the celebration and auspiciousness, but also take into account the taste preferences of each host. It can be said that everything is taken care of.

"Today is New Year's Eve, except for the elder couple, our family gathers together to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. We are also grateful to God and grateful for the emperor's grace. The new year is approaching. I wish the weather will be smooth, the family and the country are peaceful, and I wish you peace and joy, and everything will be successful. meaning!"

As the head of the family, Grandpa Zhao glanced at his children and grandchildren before speaking;

The brief words contained his best wishes for his country, his family and his children and grandchildren.

Then, he took the lead in raising his glass;

"A healthy family is more important than having children. Let's raise our glasses and drink together."

Grandpa Zhao said happily with a happy face. The old lady, Father Zhao and Mother Zhao, as well as Bai Shile, Zhao Yunshen, Zhao Hengsheng, and Zhao Wenxue also raised their glasses to drink from different drinks in front of them.

"My son wishes my father and mother a healthy new year and long-term happiness!"

Zhao's father stood up and toasted and blessed his parents. Although he was middle-aged, he was still a child in the eyes of his parents, and he was filled with joy for this blessing. The two elders raised their glasses and drank with joy.

"My daughter-in-law also wishes her father and mother good health and all the best!"

Then, my mother also stood up gracefully and congratulated my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Good good..."

Grandma Zhao said hello happily, raised her glass and drank the glass of wine happily, which showed that she loved her daughter-in-law very much;
Although Grandpa Zhao didn't say anything, his face looked extremely happy, and he drank it all in one gulp, his movements indescribably smooth.

The elders and younger ones were in order, and it was Bai Shile's turn. She glanced at Zhao Yunshen and climbed up to Zhao Yunshen first. She smiled and pulled him up to raise a glass together to congratulate her grandparents;

"My grandson wishes his grandparents good health, success in everything, beauty every day, happiness and worry-free!"

"My granddaughter-in-law wishes her grandparents good health, peace of mind, all their wishes come true, and all the best!"

Looking at the perfect couple, Grandfather Zhao and Mother Zhao smiled happily, their eyes were full of love, and they said hello repeatedly;
"Well, you are a good boy with a heart. Grandma is very happy. I also wish you and your wife a happy harmony and good health. In the coming year, we will add a little person to our family, so that your grandfather and I will cherish him!"

After Grandma Zhao finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Shile and Zhao Yunshen who were standing side by side. She raised her glass and drank the wine happily. She was so happy that no words could express her joy. It was as if after eating this glass of wine, her cute little grandson would immediately It’s okay to come!
"What your grandmother said is true!"

Everything that needed to be said was said by his old wife. Grandpa Zhao expressed his attitude as an old man and his eagerness for his great-grandson in just one sentence, and he drank a glass of wine happily.

Bai Shile! !

Why did you urge me to give birth when everything was going well?
What does this make 'her' say?
Besides, it doesn't matter what 'she' says about having a baby now!

It is true to say so, but Bai Shile, who is having a big festival, will naturally not dissipate everyone's happiness, nor will he make the elders feel uncomfortable. With a smile on his face, he glanced at Zhao Yunshen, who was bowing his head and pretending to be shy, and then said;

"Yes, the grandson will work harder to let the grandparents announce their great-grandson as soon as possible!"

Although it was a blank check, Bai Shile's attitude was sincere and her words were pleasing to the eye. Her grandparents, father and mother Zhao blushed with joy, and kept shouting "good". Even the maids and women waiting nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths. Smirk.

Zhao Yunshen...can you please be considerate of 'his' feelings when you speak?
'He' is too embarrassed to be so generous!
How can I put it this way, it seems that it is 'he' who makes the decision about having children!

Then, the couple congratulated their parents, and even their cousin Zhao Hengsheng and cousin Zhao Wenxue were not left behind;

After completing the circle, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating seriously.

"Today's dumplings taste extremely delicious and smooth. Whoever made them will reward them later!"

After Grandpa Zhao took a bite of the dumplings made by Bai Shile, Zhao Yunshen and several maids, he praised them repeatedly and asked for rewards.

After hearing this, Zhao's grandmother, Zhao's father, Zhao's mother, Zhao Wenxue and Zhao Hengsheng all picked up the dumplings to taste them.

“The taste is extremely delicious. It’s smoother and juicier than what I usually eat. It’s really great!”

Grandma Zhao couldn't help but praise it after taking a bite, and then started eating the dumplings.

"Is there a new person on the stove?"

Mother Zhao, who was in charge of all matters in the house, couldn't help but ask Aunt Lin next to her after tasting it.

Father Zhao next to him couldn't help but pick up a dumpling and put it into his mouth when he heard what his wife said. He took a bite and it was juicy and delicious. It was really much more delicious than the dumplings he had eaten before. He couldn't help but nod his head. The chopsticks never stopped.

"Back to the old lady, Madam, today's dumpling bait was made by someone else. However, I cannot appreciate someone with such a craftsmanship. You two have to see it in person!"

After Grandma Lin stepped forward and said this, she glanced at her fellow sitters Bai Shile and Zhao Yunshen. The other grandmothers waiting on the side couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing the expressions of the nuns, Grandma Zhao asked in confusion, and then looked at the 'granddaughter-in-law' Zhao Yunshen.

"Is it Leer's craftsmanship?"

Mother Zhao reacted very quickly. She guessed it was the 'daughter-in-law''s craftsmanship based on the expressions of several mothers, and asked with a smile.

"Back to Madam, it was the young Madam who made this dumpling bait herself."

Nanny Lin smiled and answered in the affirmative. Of course, Bai Shile specifically explained this statement;

After all, the dignified commander makes the adults cook in person, so they must not shock other people's jaws!

Furthermore, Zhao Yunshen himself has lived for more than 20 years and has never set foot in a kitchen. How can he acquire such skills? The elders of the Zhao family are not easy to fool!
Therefore, as soon as the dumplings were brought from next door, the maid followed Bai Shile's instructions.

"In this way, I have to take a good look at it!"

Grandma Zhao was also very surprised. Finally, she looked at the well-behaved 'granddaughter-in-law' with a smile in her eyes and said this, which made the maid and mother-in-law who was waiting on the side laugh again.

"Then grandma must not be stingy!"

Zhao Yunshen could only accept it calmly because he had gained a good reputation for no reason, and he couldn't help but joke with his grandmother;
After all, 'he' also made a few dumplings, so he didn't feel guilty!
