Chapter 784: Preparing New Year’s Eve dinner and oranges

At around eleven o'clock at noon, Shi Qinghuan took the stewed pig's trotters out of the pot and put them into the casserole. Then she said to Luo Meng, "Mother Luo, I have already put the pig's trotters into the casserole."

"Where's the soup? Did you put the soup into the casserole too?"

"Put it in together."

"Then you cover the casserole and put it on the stove to simmer."

"Put the casserole on the stove to simmer? Will this make the pig's trotters too rotten?"

"No, there is only a little coal in the stove. It won't rot the pig's trotters. At most, it can only serve as a thermal insulation."

"Okay, I'll put the casserole on the stove right now." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he picked up the casserole and walked towards the stove.

After she put the stove on the casserole, she asked Luo Meng, "Mama Luo, are Brother Fusheng and the others coming back for lunch?"

"If you don't come back, I made an agreement with them this morning to come back at two in the afternoon. That's just the right time for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"New Year's Eve dinner at two o'clock? Isn't it too early?"

"No, New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten early. Isn't that the case when you celebrated New Year in the South before?"

After hearing Luo Meng's words, Shi Qinghuan began to think about how the original owner celebrated the New Year before, but when she finished thinking about it, she felt that it was better not to think about it.

Because the original owner didn't celebrate the New Year at all in the previous years, how she usually lived and how she lived on the New Year's Day did not change at all.

Thinking of this, she felt extremely sad for the original owner's past.

"Huanhuan, what's wrong with you?" Luo Meng asked Shi Qinghuan after feeling the change in Shi Qinghuan's mood.

"It's okay, I just remembered some past events."

After hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, Luo Meng suddenly realized that she had just asked a question she shouldn't have asked, so she quickly changed the subject and asked Shi Qinghuan, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I'm not hungry, so I won't eat at noon, otherwise I won't be able to eat anything else during the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon."

"Okay, then we won't eat for lunch. There is nothing to cook now. Let's sit in the living room and rest for a while."

Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Luo Meng's words, then she went to the sink to wash her hands clean, and then walked towards the living room with Luo Meng.

When they sat down on the sofa in the living room, Luo Meng picked up the oranges on the table and handed them to Shi Qinghuan: "These oranges come from the south. They taste very sweet. Try it and see if you like it." .”

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he took the orange from Luo Meng's hand, then peeled it open and ate it.

After she finished eating the orange, she said to Luo Meng, "This orange is indeed very sweet. It is sweeter than the oranges I have eaten before, and it has more orange flavor."

"Since you like it, eat another one, and take some back to eat when you go back in the evening. Anyway, I bought a lot of these oranges, enough for our family to eat."

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he took the orange again and started eating it.

But she stopped eating after eating this orange because her stomach couldn't hold it anymore and she would definitely be full if she continued to eat.

Fortunately, Luo Meng did not let her eat after she finished eating the oranges, but instead talked to her about some things during the New Year.

After more than an hour, Luo Meng saw that it was almost time, so she said to Shi Qinghuan: "It's almost time, I'm going to fry the remaining vegetables."

"I'll go with you."

"No, you go and set the dishes."

"good."
