Maybe it was because she had stayed in the warm kotatsu for too long, Ling Ling felt the cold wind as soon as she went out. Although it rarely snowed in S City, for Ling Ling who was very afraid of cold, this kind of weather was enough for her to bear.
With the idea of buying groceries quickly and going back to curl up under the kotatsu, Ling Ling took Xia You straight to the nearby vegetable market.
As today is New Year’s Eve, many stalls in the vegetable market have already closed. But fortunately, there are always some stalls that close later, so there are still some stalls that close later, so there are still some stalls that close later, so there are still some stalls that close later.
"By the way, Xia You, what kind of food do you like to eat?" Ling Ling turned her head and asked Xia You beside her. She had known Xia You for so long, but still didn't know what kind of food Xia You liked to eat. It was not that Ling Ling lacked observation, but that Xia You did not show any particular liking for any food, nor did she show any particular aversion to any food, so Ling Ling asked her.
"I like to eat anything Ling Ling makes!" Xia You blurted out these words without any hesitation.
At this moment, Ling Ling suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken and his face felt hot. Ling Ling looked at Xia You's serious eyes and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"Well... let's go see what kind of meat we can buy..."
Ling Ling didn't know how to answer, so she decisively changed the subject and walked to the side to pick meat. However, she seemed a little absent-minded. Was Xia You's words a confession? Or was it just a normal compliment
For some reason, Ling Ling suddenly remembered what happened on her birthday night and her face turned even redder.
The dishes were quickly bought. After all, there were only three people eating New Year's Eve dinner, and it would be a waste to make too much. Ling Ling did not have the habit of making dumplings during the New Year, and making dumplings was so troublesome. It was better to curl up in the kotatsu and be lazy.
After Ling Ling returned home, she put the dishes directly in the kitchen, took off her coat, and got back into the kotatsu. After all, everyone got up late and it was almost noon when they had breakfast, so they just took it as lunch. Moreover, seeing that her daughter and Xia You didn't look hungry, she was too lazy to cook.
While watching the power of 'Billy ♂Billy' New Year's Festival, she suddenly felt her leg being kicked lightly. She raised her head and saw that it was Xia You who had also entered the kotatsu.
After all, the kotatsu was so small that it was inevitable that it would touch other people, so Ling Ling didn't care and even stretched out his foot to rub Xia You's leg.
After rubbing against Xia You's legs, Ling Ling found that it was quite comfortable, and he felt like he couldn't let go of them.
At this time, Xia You had already completely submerged in the kotatsu, and Ling Ling also stopped his little movements, fearing that he might kick Xia You in the face.
She took out her phone and refreshed her Moments to see what her friends were doing and to see how her novel was doing. To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Ling Ling started updating from the early hours of today, one chapter per hour, on a regular basis. After the Chinese New Year, she had used up most of her manuscripts.
Ling Ling felt that it was quite comfortable to celebrate the New Year like this. She was not a person who liked too much hustle and bustle, so just being with a few people was very comfortable for her. In her previous life, what she hated the most was the New Year. Not only did she have to deal with relatives, familiar and unfamiliar, but she also had a lot of work to do, which was even harder than typing.
Time passed slowly in this lazy atmosphere. Ling Ling looked at the time on her mobile phone. It was time to get up and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. She really didn't want to come out of the kotatsu.
Meimei stretched lazily, and at that moment, she felt as if her foot kicked something soft. Ling Ling poked it a few times with her little foot out of curiosity, and then found that her toe was bitten.
"Yeah~"
Feeling the wetness, Ling Ling cried out subconsciously.
Ling Yu turned around and looked at his mother curiously, having no idea what was going on.
"Nothing...nothing, Mommy just bumped into someone by accident." Ling Ling's face flushed, she said hesitantly.
"Xia You, don't lick it!"

Author's message:
Originally, Xianyu planned to release this chapter on the Chinese New Year, but the prediction was wrong, so I released it first. As for one chapter per hour, you can wait until the Chinese New Year. With Xianyu's current stockpile of manuscripts, I should be able to do it~
Chapter 158: A family of three
"I'm going to cook!"
Ling Ling suddenly said this in a very loud voice, which attracted Ling Yu who was playing on the computer. She didn't understand what was wrong with her mother.
Not long after Ling Ling said this, the wet and soft feeling on her toes finally disappeared. Then Xia You slowly crawled out from the kotatsu, looking like she had just woken up. After coming out, she yawned to emphasize that she had just woken up.
"Is Ling Ling going to cook? Let me help." Xia You said.
Ling Ling observed Xia You's expression and couldn't see anything wrong at all. Xia You was just like usual. When Ling Ling saw Xia You's lips, her little feet moved unconsciously, as if the wet feeling had returned.
"Hmm~"
Ling Ling responded, then climbed out of the kotatsu with difficulty. Although she was wearing thick pantyhose, she couldn't help but shiver as soon as she came out of the kotatsu.
Ling Yu originally wanted to say something nice like "Then I'll come and help too", but as soon as she climbed out of the kotatsu a little, she immediately gave up the idea of saying this nice thing. The price was too high and she couldn't afford to be hurt. It was better for her to just stay in the kotatsu and watch Xiao Ai.
Ling Yu didn't notice that there seemed to be a spot on his mother's socks that was the wrong color.
Xia You also followed Ling Ling into the kitchen. After Ling Ling turned around, Xia You's sleepy expression disappeared and turned into a fanatical look.
"Ling Ling..."
······
Thanks to Xia You's help, even though there were so many dishes, they still managed to prepare tonight's dinner very quickly.
The food for dinner was very sumptuous. After all, it was New Year’s Eve dinner. It was natural for it to be a little sumptuous and luxurious. Most of the dishes on it were Ling Yu’s favorite.
Because Xia You's favorite dishes were cooked by Ling Ling herself, and Ling Ling's favorite dishes were the same as her daughter's, so naturally, the dishes tonight were all Ling Yu's favorites.
When Ling Yu saw the table full of his favorite dishes, he cheered and slapped his mother's face. It can be said that this was the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner Ling Yu had ever eaten.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but when I was having dinner, I happened to catch the Spring Festival Gala. It was actually quite interesting to watch the Gala and eat the New Year’s Eve dinner at the same time.
In fact, the Spring Festival Gala in this world follows a similar pattern to that in the previous life, but due to more open policies, some things in it have become more interesting, and Ling Ling still finds it quite interesting.
Xia You said that this year's Spring Festival Gala seemed to have invited a lot of big stars, but Ling Ling was not very interested in these big stars because she didn't know much about the stars in this world. After all, whether in the past life or now, Ling Ling was not a person who liked to chase stars, and the most important thing was that chasing stars could not make money, so it was just looking for trouble.
After eating and taking a shower, Ling Ling retreated back into the kotatsu. Xia You was also taking a shower here today because she said the water heater at her home was broken.
But Xia You took a long time to shower. She had been there for more than an hour. There was no bathtub in her small house, so it wouldn't take her that long. The most important thing was that she was a little urgent.
Just when Ling Ling was about to confirm whether Xia You was alive, Xia You walked out of the bathroom with a faint blush on her face.
"Xia You, you finally came out." After seeing Xia You coming out, Ling Ling walked into the bathroom without saying a word. The disadvantage of the small house was that the toilet and bathroom were connected.
Xia You, who had just finished taking a shower, was startled when she saw Ling Ling standing at the door. When Ling Ling entered the bathroom, she looked in the direction of the bathroom with a nervous look on her face, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Ling Ling came out.
"Oh right! I forgot to turn on the washing machine."
When Ling Ling was about to get back into the kotatsu, she suddenly remembered that she forgot to turn on the washing machine, so she went straight back to the bathroom. When Ling Ling put the detergent in, she found that the top piece of clothing was actually her teddy bear panties, and it was wet.
However, Ling Ling didn't think too much about it. After turning on the washing machine, she couldn't wait to return to the kotatsu and watched the Spring Festival Gala skit on TV intently.
Xia You looked at Ling Ling calmly. When she found that Ling Ling did not behave in any unusual way, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to the TV.
"Mom, why don't we have fireworks here?" Ling Yu casually looked at evening parties in other places on the computer and found that many of them were accompanied by gorgeous fireworks.
Moreover, she had never seen fireworks or played with them since she was a child, so she was very curious about what fireworks looked like.
"Because fireworks are prohibited here, there's nothing we can do." Ling Ling said that she also wanted to watch the fireworks.
When he was a child in his hometown in his previous life, he would go back to buy small fireworks to play with during the Chinese New Year, such as torpedoes that exploded cow dung. Until one day, he saw a friend accidentally fall down while playing with torpedoes that exploded cow dung. The scene was really horrible. After that, he never played with such dangerous things again.
