Chapter 894: Lively New Year's Eve
After hanging up the phone with his mother, Lin Cheng continued to read the storybook to the little girl.
At noon on New Year's Eve, they had a reunion dinner. Seeing the rich dishes gradually filling the entire table, Lin Cheng and the little girl eagerly approached and flattered her like crazy.
"Wow~~~ It's so rich, Sister Shuyan is so amazing! She made all of them by herself."
"Mom is great!"
"What about me? I also contributed."
Only no one praised him, Xiao Tong's tone was sour.
Lin Cheng smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Everyone deserves praise, the three beauties have worked hard."
His praise was sincere. In previous years, when he celebrated the Spring Festival in China, his family's reunion dinner was rarely made by himself, and basically the restaurant prepared it and sent it over.
After hearing Xiao Tong say that Chinese people eat fish during the Spring Festival, Han Shuyan also specially made pollack soup, stewed mackerel and grilled eel, which tasted very good.
A lively reunion dinner was eaten, and then everyone ate dumplings again.
After the meal, Lin Cheng wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Han Shuyan drove him away.
She complained hypocritically that he was not allowed to help, but in fact, Lin Cheng's mouth was almost crooked with laughter.
This kind of decadent life with food coming to you is really wonderful.
Single dogs will probably never experience this kind of decadence, right?
Today's weather is very warm. In the afternoon, Lin Cheng took Enxi to the children's playground, and the big and small played until the evening.
The three girls stayed at home and cleaned the room thoroughly inside and out. The New Year's Eve dinner they prepared was even more sumptuous than the lunch. After Lin Cheng and the little girl came back, they turned into flatterers again and started to praise violently.
It happened that my mother's video call came again.
"Hey! Mom, what are you calling for?"
At this time, everyone was ready to go to the table. When Xiao Tong heard Lin Cheng calling Mom, he suddenly pricked up his ears.
"What are you talking about? Did you forget something?"
Mother Lin's tone was slightly dissatisfied, and she suddenly became happy when she saw the little girl clinging to Lin Cheng, "Oh! Little darling is so cute."
The little girl clung to Lin Cheng's legs and timidly called grandma to the mobile phone screen.
Soon, Lin Cheng's mother smiled and narrowed her eyes, repeatedly praising Enxi for being cute and sensible.
"Okay, okay, mom, Enxi doesn't understand what you said, have you eaten the New Year's Eve dinner?"
While talking, Lin Cheng pointed his mobile phone at the New Year's Eve dinner on the table.
"See, these are all made by your daughter-in-law herself, this is not the takeaway I ordered."
"Okay! It looks really good. Our New Year's Eve dinner is also ready. When your aunt and cousin's two families arrive, we will be ready to eat."
Mother Lin over there also took out her mobile phone and scanned it, showing Lin Cheng a look at the rich and exquisite dishes on the big table next to her.
"Tsk tsk! Ouch! Did you ask the restaurant to prepare it and send it over again?"
Lin Cheng frowned, his tone was extremely annoying, "After so many years, our family's New Year's Eve dinner is still soulless, thanks to my mother who is not good at cooking and is not physically active."
"Puff!"
Xiao Tong couldn't help laughing.
This guy's personality is really not formed in a day, he still deserves a beating in front of his mother.
Mother Lin was about to teach this kid a lesson, but when she heard the crisp laughter over there, she immediately didn't care about anything else.
"Is your partner here? Show me now."
"Don't you want to see me first?"
"What's so good about you? Stop talking nonsense."
"Wait."
Lin Cheng raised his phone, "Hey! Let me introduce you, this is Han Shuyan, your son's first wife."
Xiao Tong consciously translated the original Korean voice simultaneously. Han Shuyan, who was a little mentally prepared, stood up and greeted him stutteringly:
"Auntie, hello!"
Lin Cheng was surprised, "Sister Shuyan, when did you learn Chinese?"
"I just learned a little from Xiaotong, and I don't understand it very well."
Although she had seen the photos, when she really saw Han Shuyan, Lin's mother was still very happy.
This quiet and gentle temperament will definitely make a good daughter-in-law.
"Oh! What a beautiful girl! So good! So good!"
The first time she video chatted with Han Shuyan, Lin Cheng's mother only praised her.
Mainly because she had no experience.
Although Lin Cheng's mother wanted to talk to this gentle daughter-in-law again, Lin Cheng had already pointed the camera at Xiao Tong.
"Hey! This is Xiao Tong, your son's concubine."
"No, no! Auntie, don't listen to him."
Xiao Tong waved her hands nervously, "We are just... friends."
"Where are you from, my girl? Your accent sounds so friendly."
"I'm from Guangdong, how about you, auntie?"
"Auntie, I'm from Sichuan."
"No wonder I also think you speak so friendly, I have a friend from Sichuan."
Lin Cheng felt something was wrong, "Excuse me, your friend from Sichuan is not me, right?"
Xiao Tong smiled.
Lin Cheng's mother also laughed cheerfully.
Finally, there was someone to communicate with, and Lin's mother wanted to get out of her phone and chat with Xiao Tong, and Lin Cheng quickly introduced him to Zheng Shiyan.
"Hey! This is Enxi's mother, Zheng Shiyan."
Sister Shiyan stood up politely and greeted in Korean. Although she was not as nervous as Han Shuyan and Xiao Tong, she was much more friendly than when she put on a stern face to teach Lin Cheng and Enxi a lesson.
"Oh my! No wonder there is such a beautiful child. This girl is so pretty."
Xiao Tong translated what Lin's mother said, and Zheng Shiyan thanked her politely.
The little girl ran over and hugged her mother's legs, and summoned up the courage to call her grandma.
Suddenly, Lin Cheng's mother was so happy again.
"Okay, okay! Mom, I'm hanging up, and I'm going to eat."
"Wait! Wait! Don't hang up!"
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Cheng decisively hung up the phone.
There was no way, Mom lost herself in the calls of aunt and grandma, and if she didn't hang up the phone, she wouldn't be able to eat today.
In order to take care of the little girl Enxi, Lin Cheng gave up the plan to watch the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. A group of people ate the New Year's Eve dinner and watched the New Year's special of the little penguin Polulu.
In addition to the rich dishes, everyone also ate grain rice and rice cake soup together, which are indispensable foods for Korean New Year's Eve dinner.
In addition, there is another very important link, drinking Tusu wine.
Lin Cheng used to recite Wang Anshi's "New Year's Day" in his elementary school textbook.
The year is over with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
However, in China, very few areas still retain the habit of drinking Tusu wine during the Spring Festival.
Tusu wine is also called Sui wine, which means that drinking it can take away all bad luck.
Starting from the youngest child in the family, everyone must drink it, no matter how many children there are.
"Come! Enxi, come first."
Enxi stretched out her little tongue to lick the wine in her mother's cup, and immediately shrugged her shoulders and wrinkled her little face. She smacked her lips and complained to her mother bitterly:
"It's so hard to drink."
"Mom, this wine is poisonous!"
