On the morning of New Year's Eve, Su Ruanruan got up before dawn.
She thought she had gotten up early enough, but she didn't expect that as soon as she left the room, she saw Granny Chen who was busy working.
"Nai, when did you get up?"
Grandma Chen was cooking sweet potato porridge. When she heard this, she smiled at Su Ruanruan and said, "Not long after I got up, you ran all day yesterday. Aren't you tired? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"How can I sleep in today!"
After the two had breakfast, they cleaned the house and yard.
After cleaning the yard, Grandma Chen took out the sticks, wire, plywood and red paper she had prepared early in the morning and made them into lanterns.
After it was done, Su Ruoran wrote the words "Happy Spring Festival" on it.
When the candles are lit at night, most of the children in the production team will be greedy.
Su Ruanruan is no longer a child, but she still happily makes lanterns with Grandma Chen.
After making the lanterns, it’s time to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The New Year's Eve dinner here is usually eaten at noon, and dumplings are eaten in the evening.
Grandma Chen also put a lot of effort into preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in previous years, but it was not as sumptuous as this year. After all, the conditions were different.
Every dish at the New Year's Eve dinner has its own meaning.
The chicken stewed with mushrooms means good luck, the braised fish means more than every year, the fried meatballs mean reunion, the braised pig's trotters mean good luck, and the starched potatoes mean sweetness.
In addition to these big dishes, there are also two cold dishes and two stir-fried dishes.
After all, there were only two people, Grandma Chen and Su Ruanruan, and there were too many preparations to finish.
That's all, the two of them couldn't eat much, so they could only keep the rest and eat it slowly.
But don’t stop preparing just because you can’t finish the meal. After all, this is the Chinese New Year and you want to seek good luck.
When the food was just being prepared, Xiao Chengjin came.
He was holding a basket in his hand, and there were some vegetables in the basket.
On a day like this, it would be inappropriate for Xiao Chengjin to stay for dinner.
Grandma Chen took the dishes brought by Xiao Chengjin, packed some of her own homemade dishes for Xiao Chengjin, and asked him to take them back.
Before Xiao Chengjin left, he came close to Su Ruanruan and whispered that he would come over in the afternoon.
After seeing Xiao Chengjin off, Su Ruanruan and Granny Chen sat down and prepared to eat.
Grandma Chen and Su Ruanruan don't drink, but if they don't drink something on days like this, it seems like something is missing.
Su Ruoran walked around the Baibao space and finally took out a can of rice wine.
Warm up the rice wine, it's sour and sweet, and it tastes very appetizing.
After the two clinked glasses, Grandma Chen picked up her chopsticks and said, "Eat more vegetables, eat everything!"
Grandma Chen doesn't like to say sensational words, but prefers to prepare good things so that Su Ruanruan can eat well and wear well.
Su Ruanruan first picked up the vegetables for Grandma Chen, and then ate them herself, "Milk, you should also eat quickly!"
Although it was just two people celebrating the New Year together, it was still warm and lively.
After lunch, the two of them rested for a while and then started making dumplings with dough and stuffing.
Grandma Chen got some one-cent, two-cent and five-cent coins and washed them in water several times. When it was time to make dumplings, each one was wrapped in the dumplings.
"It depends on whether you can eat at night." Grandma Chen said softly to Su Ruanyuan.
Su Ruanruan pursed her lips and smiled but said nothing.
How is it possible that we can't eat it? One of the ten dumplings must be wrapped with coins. If we can't eat it again, what do we expect in the coming year
