I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 283

Li Xiuju looked at the children with relief, her eyes narrowed with laughter, "Now that everyone has taken a bath, let's have a banquet."

In a short while, rich and sweet chicken soup, soft and delicious stuffed tofu, crispy and tender white chicken, spicy and delicious fried rabbit meat, green and refreshing vegetables, fresh and sweet river shrimps, and a plate of fresh and sweet river shrimps were finally served. Steamed fish in hot oil completes an ordinary yet sumptuous New Year's Eve banquet.

Li Xiuju brought out the plum wine she had made before, filled four glasses, and shouted with a smile: "Come on, let's have a good time tonight, let's all drink some wine to cheer up."

"Okay." Zhou Chenyu took the wine glass and raised it to the center, shouting out of habit, "Here, let's clink glasses."

Li Xiuju and Wan Qiu were surprised for a moment, then smiled and held out their cups.Baoyu didn't notice anything strange, so he handed over the cup in a daze.

The four people clinked their glasses happily and drank the wine in one gulp.

After finishing the drink, Li Xiuju hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and shouted: "Come on, come on, there are a lot of dishes to cook tonight. Don't keep your stomach empty, eat as much as you can. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat after midnight." It’s meaty.”

After speaking, Li Xiuju picked out two chicken drumsticks from the white chopped chicken, stuffed one into the Late Autumn Bowl, and stuffed the other into the Baoyu Bowl, "You two are the youngest, you can eat these two."

Wan Qiu looked at the small amount of good meat arriving in his bowl. He was flattered and had no idea what to do.

"It's Chinese New Year, don't refuse, it's unlucky." Zhou Chenyu smiled at her, and Wan Qiu really believed it and started eating the chicken legs.

Baoyu bit off the whole piece of chicken leg meat in one bite, held it in his mouth and said, "Sister Wanqiu, don't believe what my sister says. She doesn't like to eat chicken leg meat, so that's why she asked us to eat it. You are helping her, and she has to thank you." We. We didn’t take advantage.”

"You talk a lot, so I'll eat your flesh!" Zhou Chenyu stepped on his foot, and Baoyu whimpered in pain, "Sister, if I don't take you like this, why would you step on my foot again?"

"Who told you to backstab me? You deserve it." Zhou Chenyu raised his eyebrows proudly and picked up his favorite chicken breast with satisfaction. There was no fat between the piece of chicken and the skin, only a layer of crystal clear collagen. The egg whites are dipped in the essential ginger and scallion dipping sauce and eaten in one bite. The tender and smooth chicken with distinct skin and meat is paired with the special ginger and scallion dipping sauce. You can taste the original and delicious taste with simple cooking.

Li Xiuju looked at the two siblings fighting and was already used to it. She calmly put some good meat into Wan Qiu's bowl and deliberately smiled and said: "We can eat what we have, let them two fight." Go. Let’s eat all the good things before we make them regret it.”

what?
Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu looked over at the same time. Wan Qiu saw their surprised and complaining eyes and smiled heartily, "Okay, Wan Qiu listens to my aunt."

The moonlight on New Year's Eve dimmed little by little as they ate, but fortunately the disc-like silver moon was bright enough.

Many neighbors in the village had finished their New Year's Eve dinner before sunset on the Youshi hour. The children who had finished eating, holding snacks in their mouths, couldn't wait to invite their neighbors' friends to come out and play under the bright moonlight.

The family was sitting in the yard eating. The gate to the yard was open, and the laughter of children playing could be heard from outside. Some children saw a big, fluffy yellow dog lying in the yard, and from time to time they stuck their heads in to take a peek.

Ever since Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu grew up, children of the same age have grown up and are no longer as naughty as they were when they were children, so the family has lost a lot of laughter.

This time it was rare that so many children were crowded playing at the door. After finishing her meal, Li Xiuju took a basket of candied fruits and puff pastry, limped to the door, smiled and waved to the group of children, "Grandma, there are some good ones here." Come here, you all, for food.”

Although preserved fruits are a must-have item for every family during the Chinese New Year, they are expensive, so they don’t buy much, and even less is distributed to everyone.

When the children saw that Li Xiuju had delicious food in her hand, they bit their fingers and hesitated to come forward. The adults who were following saw this and laughed: "Grandma has delicious food, but you won't go there? If you don't go, I will go there." After hearing this, the children stepped forward shyly and sweetly shouted to Li Xiuju, "Grandma."

When Li Xiuju heard her voice, it was as if she heard her grandson calling, and she exclaimed happily. She also took the opportunity to touch the child's fleshy face, and put a handful of snacks into her pocket.

The other children saw that if they called someone, they would get delicious food, so they rushed forward to call for someone.

Zhou Chenyu looked at a group of beaming children wearing red, green, pink and yellow clothes outside, surrounding Li Xiuju.

"Okay, okay, everyone has it, everyone has it."

Zhou Chenyu walked out and caught a conspicuous girl with pigtails and a red cotton-padded jacket, her cheeks turned pink from the cold. He looked at her from a close distance, just like a cute little girl in a painting that year.

Looking at her face, Zhou Chenyu's voice involuntarily turned into a jingle, and asked: "You call her grandma, what should you call me?"

"She is so young, how can she know what to call you?" Li Xiuju touched her face, "Just call me sister."

After hearing what Li Xiuju said, the little girl quickly glanced at Zhou Chenyu's bright eyes, lowered her head shyly, and said in a childlike voice, "Pretty sister."

Li Xiuju held her stomach and laughed, "Why are you so good at talking with your little mouth?"

Zhou Chenyu's eyes lit up and he stared at her lovely appearance, "Okay, I'll just say this to you, my beautiful sister, and I'll give you all these delicious things."

Zhou Chenyu grabbed the candied fruit and handed it to the little baby. Halfway through her handing it over, Baoyu stretched out his dog paws and said to the child in a rogue manner:
"Hey, little sister. What about me? What about me? I am the younger brother of this beautiful sister. What should you call me? You are not allowed to take it unless you call me."

Zhou Chenyu stared at him for bullying the child and scolded: "This is called a bad uncle."

The girl blinked her big watery eyes and saw Baoyu's fierce look and didn't dare to scream.

Wan Qiu also ran out. When she saw this cute little baby in front of her, her heart almost melted. Yingying smiled and said, "And me? What should you call me?"

Zhou Chenyu rarely saw her looking so naughty and smiled, "Is this a beautiful sister too?"

The little girl looked at Zhou Chenyu, then caught a glimpse of Zhou Wanqiu with a smile on her face, and said without thinking, "Pretty sister."

Zhou Chenyu and Wan Qiu responded at the same time, "Hey." They grabbed some snacks for her, but Baoyu snatched them all away one by one.

Baoyu was obviously asking in front, but he couldn't wait for the call of brother. He was angry and said with a black face, "Call me brother."

Li Xiuju saw that the child was about to cry, and quickly patted Baoyu and hugged the child over, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Grandma has all of these, and they are all here."

Baoyu looked depressed, why couldn't he get it back?
