"Girl, how are you? Does it suit your appetite?"
Chu Huixin took off her apron, rolled it up into a pile and threw it on the coffee table.
The word "confidence" is almost written on his face, just waiting for others to praise him.
Putting down the leek box in her hand, Leiyin picked up the napkin and gently wiped the slightly raised corners of her mouth.
"Auntie, breakfast is very delicious, better than Fei's cooking, and much better than takeout..."
She looked at Chu Huixin with countless little stars shining in her beautiful eyes, a look of admiration on her face.
Leek boxes, pork and green onion dumplings, seaweed and egg drop soup, pickled radish... Xu Fei has bought all these home-cooked dishes.
But what Chu Huixin cooked by herself was very different from what she bought from the breakfast stall.
Specifically, it is more delicious, not salty, not greasy, and better reflects the taste of the ingredients themselves.
"Yeah, yeah, the girl's words are more attractive, unlike the three boys at home, who just sit around and eat and drink for free all day long!"
Chu Huixin proudly shook the curly hair on her head, which had been permed two days ago.
"Mom, I'm a woman. Don't slander my image in front of my sister-in-law~"
Xu Yun protested in a low voice, her bulging cheeks filled with dumpling fillings, like a small goldfish.
Chu Huixin rolled her eyes at Xu Yun angrily and was too lazy to talk to her.
Do you want to see how sloppy you look like a girl?
He didn't sit around or eat, and he drove his motorcycle around the world like a tomboy all day long.
If only I had half as much as your sister-in-law.
Ruowei glanced at Xu Fei, and Chu Huixin continued to chat with Leiyin.
"Girl, takeout is mostly an assembly line operation, not serious cooking. It is good for your health to eat less. Although Xiaofei's cooking is not as good as takeout, it is still better than cleanliness."
Leiyin nodded in agreement while eating the leek box.
"..."
Xu Fei was speechless, could this also be related to me?
The vivid look in my mother’s eyes just now seemed to be saying that the crap you made is worthy of cooking?
"Mom, I'm not bad. I'm pretty good at cooking among boys." Xu Fei retorted.
Years of working overtime have allowed Xu Fei to master a few simple dishes such as potato stew, beef stew, and egg spread.
Especially when it comes to spreading eggs, it has reached the supreme state of beating four eggs at the same time with both hands without losing their yellow color.
It would be a mistake to classify him among the ordinary group of young people ordering food.
"Just like you, the third child?" Chu Huixin curled her lips disdainfully.
I wonder how many kilograms and taels of meat you have. Does your mother not know?
Those simple dishes were learned from me. At most, they were used to fool foreign girls who had never seen Chinese cuisine.
Listening to the chattering on the dining table, Xu Chu was a little dazed with the half-pulled dumpling in his mouth.
On the one hand, Xu Fei said that he was confused and didn't sleep well last night.
On the other hand, all the remaining attention is focused on the chopsticks of the elder brother and sister-in-law.
One, two, or three plates of dumplings, one, two, or three bowls of vegetable soup...
Looking up at their bodies, the eldest brother is tall, tall and well-proportioned with muscles, while the sister-in-law is slender and graceful.
But his appetite is bigger than that of a person who works out every day.
Could it be that my eldest brother and sister-in-law have poor gastrointestinal digestion? Xu Chu became a little worried.
"In a moment, you kids, go to the fireworks display area of the community to set off firecrackers. New Year's Day is not as good as Spring Festival, it's just fun."
Xu Dahai took a sip of the wine happily.
This is leftover from yesterday's drink with Steve. It's not good to waste food. I don't drink it because I love it.
Leiyin looked at Xu Fei in confusion.
Xu Fei immediately understood and explained in a low voice: "Firecrackers are explosives made by folk with a small amount of gunpowder. People will light a bunch of these things on the morning of New Year's Day and listen to the sound to welcome the new year."
"At night, another kind of explosive called fireworks will be lit. Fireworks are mainly visual effects. Everyone gathers together to watch the sparks in the sky and pray for a prosperous year ahead."
Leiyin nodded slightly, with a look of interest in her eyes.
Sure enough, many novel events will occur between different civilizations.
On the continent of Reddings, there are festivals similar to New Year's Day, but the way people celebrate and pray is completely different from Earth Star.
"Hey? It's so boring to just set off firecrackers~~Dad, let's go to the temple fair as a family after lunch~~~"
Picking up Xu Dahai's arm, Xu Yun began to shake it back and forth. She had long been salivating at the various snacks at the temple fair.
Temple fairs in the Nancheng area have few advertisements and a relatively low degree of commercialization. Most of the shops setting up stalls are craftsmen of the older generation.
Therefore, the quality is relatively guaranteed, and it is rare to encounter people who pretend to be fake to make quick money.
Xu Dahai continued to drink and drink, and was already immune to his daughter's usual coquettish tricks.
I remember when the couple were young, there was not even a movie theater nearby, let alone entertainment venues.
The date location is either a park or a temple fair. We have been there dozens of times at least.
Xu Dahai could almost recite all the stuff in the temple fair, and there was nothing new about it at all.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, there is a welfare competition in the Landlord Game, and the top 100 people will be rewarded with 20 kilograms of Northeastern rice.
I made an appointment with Uncle Zhu last week to fight at the top of the senior online chess and card room today.
He planned to go to the toilet and squat for half an hour while his wife was preparing dinner ingredients in the afternoon to compete.
Thinking of this, Xu Dahai waved his hands and said with a smile: "Your mother and I have to prepare dinner this afternoon."
"Didn't your sister-in-law just buy a new car? It has four seats. You young people can go and have some fun. Remember to get back before six o'clock in the evening."
After hearing what Xu Dahai said, Xu Yun's eyes widened.
Just now, my mind was so busy thinking about snacks for the temple fair that I forgot about this.
I definitely can’t take my sister-in-law’s car!
Otherwise, even if you arrive at the temple fair, you will not be able to eat physically and mentally!
After secretly making up her mind, Xu Yun changed her previous attitude and suddenly said:
"Dad, you're right, that's all the temple fair has to offer. I've been there several times when I was a kid, but nothing much to see. I might as well help my mother make dinner at home~~"
"What are you going to do? You can't even enter the kitchen to help. If you don't hurry downstairs, Xiao Fei and the others are gone."
Chu Huixin pointed at the open door and reminded.
Only then did Xu Yun realize that the three people inside had already gone out holding firecrackers.
The fireworks display area is arranged in the cultural square located in the middle of three nearby communities.
People who came here to set off firecrackers formed a circle in small groups, and everyone consciously left the center spot vacant.
Several sanitation workers were sitting on the benches, taking a break and chatting.
Two small fire trucks were parked on the side of the road, ready for emergencies.
Seeing that Xiaoyun had covered her ears, Leiyin lowered her body and a small flame appeared on her fingertips. She lightly slid it on the firecracker twister and then stepped back leisurely.
This series of actions shocked a certain snot-nosed kid playing nearby to open his mouth wide.
He had just watched a cartoon called Bara Bara Little Beauty yesterday and had a new understanding of the world.
Firecrackers exploded, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and a strong smell of sulfur entered the nose.
The crackling of firecrackers, the happy sounds of children playing, and the cheerful voices of parents all mix together without feeling noisy.
The stress of a year's life has gone away with the sound of explosion, and today is a new beginning.
