From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 714 Family Dinner
Mei Xin was worried and asked Yun Ying to follow her to have a look, then got up and sat down with her younger brothers and sisters.Although men and women did not sit separately at today's family banquet, the elders and younger generations still sat at separate tables. There were too many main people to sit at one table.Therefore, Mei Xin and Mei Zhongkai sat together.

Because she was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol, Yuan Muqiu sat next to her and helped her fill a bowl of soup first.

Mei Xin originally arranged her seat at the main table, but thinking that she was unwilling to sit, she had to sit beside her.

There's no way, I guess she's not used to sitting at the main table, and she can't eat well, so she just let her go.Not letting her serve, Mei Xin quickly stretched out her hand and said: "Mother, you can't do this, I'm not without hands and feet, why do I still ask you to do it. Sit down quickly, I'll help you serve the soup."

She has been taking care of herself since she was a child, and every time she comes home from the military camp, she is busy doing this and that, wishing to feed herself, wishing to help herself do everything.She also wants to take care of her, and also wants to repay her.

Grabbing her hand as usual and making her sit down, Yuan Muqiu served her half a bowl of rice and said: "I know you have hands and feet, but isn't it inconvenient right now? Sit honestly, and move when I get old." I'm afraid I won't have a chance to serve me a meal if I can't stop. See what you want to eat, and the godmother will pick it up for you. Sister-in-law Li's eight-treasure duck is good, and the lion's head, Buddha jumping wall, and sweet-scented osmanthus fish are very delicious. You Try them all?"

When she got up while speaking, she took the plate and put some of her favorite dishes for Mei Xin, and then put it in front of her.

Today, a total of [-] dishes were cooked for the New Year's Eve, and Mrs. Li personally took charge of each dish.Due to the large number of people in the mansion, the soldiers also had to eat. Sister-in-law Li, Yuan Muqiu, and the chef in charge of the spoon in the big kitchen began to work before dawn, and it took a whole day to prepare meals for thousands of people.

I just ate a bowl of sour soup and dumplings Mei Xin is not very hungry now.However, she is the eldest sister when everyone eats together, and if she doesn't eat, her younger siblings won't be able to eat well either.Therefore, every dish was eaten, and the big guys began to eat happily.

After two months of getting along with each other, except for Mei Jingqiu, everyone got on well with Mei Xin, and they also admired her from the bottom of their hearts.Therefore, sitting at the same table to eat can be regarded as a happy and peaceful place where brothers, friends, sisters and sisters are in harmony.

Mei Zhannan specially invited the clan elders over for the first reunion after more than ten years.

To be honest, Mei Xin likes this kind of atmosphere very much, it feels like this is a real big family.Love each other, unite and support each other, enjoy the blessings together, and share the difficulties together.

While thinking, Sanniang came over, bowed her head and said: "Young general, the eldest son is back and has already entered the second sect."

Hearing the sound and looking back at her, Mei Xin put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "Have you asked Chuanzi, why did you come back so late?"

Recently, because the emperor wanted to give her brother a marriage, he was very popular, and two days ago when he went out, a woman suddenly fainted in front of him, she was even more worried.Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Yunying go to see him just now, and she wouldn't have known clearly when he left Duke Lu's mansion.

As soon as Sanniang saw them coming back, she asked quietly, and when she learned that she had gone to North Street, she replied truthfully: "The eldest son deliberately went to North Street because he was thinking about buying lanterns. The wolf girl. Chuanzi said that the eldest son was very happy, and he even forgot to come back after going up to chat."

Maybe it's because of staying in the military camp all the time, there are few maidservants in the general's mansion, and there are no elders around to teach, Mei Jinze doesn't understand and is not keen on the relationship between men and women, and that's why he hasn't married a wife yet s reason.

Pupils shrunk and she was stunned, Mei Xin turned her head to look at her again at the same time Mei Jinze came in.He walked briskly and was very happy, with an uncontrollable smile all over his face: "Xin'er, look, I bought a rabbit lamp. Didn't you ask for it every year when you were a child? This time I have it, and it is very beautiful."

While talking, he put the rabbit lamp in his hand in front of Mei Xin.

Seventh Miss Mei Qingke, who was only six years old, fell in love with him at first glance, and she got to know him well these two days, so she jumped off the stool and ran to Mei Jinze and said, "Brother, my Well, mine, I want it too."

Mei Jinze likes her lively and cheerful personality. The most important thing is that she is not afraid of him. She bent down and hugged her and said, "Yes, yes, both. You like big carp. Big brother remembers it. I bought it for you too." .”

Before the words were finished, Lu Qingchuan and Qingyu came in with more than a dozen lights, and the big guys were very happy when they saw it.

"I bought all the good-looking ones. I don't know what kind of lanterns you all like. Choose it yourself. If you don't like it, wait for Brother Shangyuan to buy it for you. It's just the same. No competition or quarrel is allowed. Don't be awkward." Mei Jinze specially said this to Mei Jingqiu, reminding her to stop messing around like before.For some things, the sisterhood was ignored, and the noisy family was uneasy, and Mei Jingchu cried a lot because of it.

Everyone understood that they had a good heart, and after thanking them, they all got up and stopped eating, and all of them were busy picking up lanterns.

Looking at Deng Meixin, the rabbit she loved most when she was young, she was very moved. She didn't want to spoil his interest. She brought it up and looked at it again and said: "It really is a good craftsmanship. This rabbit is very vivid. Thank you, brother!"

The first time Mei Jinze saw the rabbit lamp, he knew that she would definitely like it. Putting down Mei Qingke in his hand, he took a sip of the hot soup from Yuan Muqiu and said, "Hot and sour pork knuckle, vinegar duck feet, five spice I bought all the edamame and braised pig's ears. As soon as I got back, I asked the herring to take it to Mrs. Li in the kitchen, and it was delivered on a plate."

I haven't heard that other people like to eat hot and sour food when they are pregnant with twins. My sister has never left her mouth since she was pregnant. If it weren't for the grandma Sun who stared at her every day, she probably ate herself to death. Hot and sour.

Originally, Mei Xin wanted to eat, but when he thought that the wolf girl came to the capital and the two met, he seemed to be interested, and Mei Xin lost her appetite and thoughts in an instant.Smiling slightly, she handed the lantern in her hand to San Niang to put it away, and she said calmly: "You go to toast the clan elders first when you come back late, father is also worried about you, if you have anything to say, wait until after dinner."

Although it is not New Year's Eve, everyone also attaches great importance to Xiao'an, not wanting his good mood to be ruined, so Mei Xin decides not to mention it for now.

Hearing the fourth uncle call her to come over, Mei Jinze finished the soup in the bowl and put down the bowl and said, "Got it, hurry up and eat, let's play fireworks after eating, my little cousin took it when I came back today." Give me a lot."
