Chapter 724: Durian stuffed dumplings with fireworks
A New Year's Eve dinner took more than two hours.
The last dish is dumplings.
Jiang Lingxu looked at one of the plates of dumplings on the table that looked a little different.
Even though it is wrapped with a layer of skin, there is still a special smell permeating it.
“Here, what kind of stuffing is this?”
Even though he had already made a guess in his mind, he still couldn't believe it.
Where the **** did you get the idea of making dumplings with such fillings?
"Durian filling, if you don't want to eat it, don't put it in it. Your sister likes it, so she doesn't make much." Jiang Wenhui said, reaching out and moving the plate of durian filling dumplings towards her daughter.
Jiang Lingxu looked at his sister with wide eyes and opened his mouth, "Sister, you have such a strong taste!"
Jiang Lingxi took a piece of durian filling and tasted it, then nodded, "It's quite delicious."
Jiang Lingxu was immediately ready to make a move, "Really?"
"You will know after you try it yourself." Jiang Lingxi said and looked at Shen Yunqing sitting next to her, "Try it? The taste is quite special."
Shen Yunqing: "...Okay."
Jiang Lingxu picked one up dubiously, closed his eyes and stuffed it into his mouth, "Oh!"
Durian is already sweet, but it becomes twice as sweet when boiled like this. The experience of drinking milk tea last night happened again, and he was overwhelmed by just one dumpling.
You can't vomit, so he almost swallowed it whole in the face of the half-smiling eyes on the other side.
The last plate of durian dumplings was eaten by everyone else, and the rest were wrapped up by Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing.
After eating the dumplings, this New Year’s Eve dinner has come to an end.
Everyone worked together to clean up, and dried fruits and snacks were placed on the newly wiped dining table.
The next step is to stay up late on New Year's Eve.
The Spring Festival Gala is not over yet, but Jiang Lingxu and others are already a little unable to sit still.
It happened that Xia Zhi brought out a lot of fireworks that had been prepared long ago. Jiang Lingxu cheered and helped carry them to the yard, and volunteered to set off the fireworks for everyone.
Xia Zhi happily handed over this important task to him.
Jiang Lingxi took Shen Yunqing to the yard and looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky.
There were fireworks in ancient times. Although they were far less colorful than today, everyone’s mood when watching the fireworks was the same regardless of ancient or modern times.
These extremely bright fireworks represent the beautiful wishes of mankind.
“Sister, give it!”
Jiang Lingxi took the small fireworks that Xu Ling'an handed over and could be set off in his hand, handed one to Shen Yunqing, and then lit one after another.
Not enough, not enough at all!
This little thing looks ordinary at first glance, but it’s not until you play with it that you realize it’s addictive.
Shen Yunqing held up the small firework that was put into his hand and stood aside looking at the cheeks illuminated by the fireworks. The bright light shone into his eyes and he could clearly feel: Your Majesty is very happy today.
He sincerely hopes that this will be the case every year!
After setting off all the large and small fireworks in one go, the yard was already filled with the smell of fireworks.
It was almost midnight, and the night wind suddenly picked up without realizing it, causing the lanterns under the eaves in the corner to sway gently. Only then did everyone return to the house still unfinished.
Jiang Wenhui saw that the children had all come back from playing, and took out the red envelopes she had prepared long ago from her pocket.
“It’s time to give out the new year’s money!”
Jiang Lingxu is also the most active in this matter.
Jiang Lingxi took the red envelope handed to her, "I have one too?"
She thought she would have no new year's money now that she was married.
“As long as they are parents’ children, they will always be there.”
Not only Jiang Lingxi, but also Shen Yunqing, the son-in-law, also got one.
Jiang Lingxi turned around and saw him holding the red envelope, looking a little dazed.
When Jiang Wenhui finished serving, Jiang Runcheng and Gao Lan served another round respectively.
Afterwards, Jiang Lingxi, as her sister, also sent one to Jiang Lingxu and Xu Ling'an respectively, and another to Xia Zhi.
Shen Yunqing waited until she finished sending out the ones she had prepared. Jiang Lingxu was so happy that he almost flew up.
He and An An gained the most from the scene!
And the red envelopes from his sister and brother-in-law are super thick!
However, "Sister, when the next Chinese New Year comes, I have to give my nephew or niece some lucky money, right?"
After all, looking at how close his sister and brother-in-law are, it will only be a matter of time before they have a little baby. By then, he won’t be stuck in the house like this year, and he will have to prepare New Year’s money when he becomes an uncle.
Jiang Lingxi patted him on the shoulder with a normal expression, "There's no rush for this, just wait."
This uncle is not someone you can just want to be.
Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng looked at each other after hearing this, thinking that their daughter was still young and her career was on the rise, so it was normal not to have a child so soon.
Moreover, late marriage and late childbearing are now much more common than before, so I have to swallow my original plan to encourage grandchildren.
The zero o'clock bell rang on the TV, followed by New Year's greetings received one after another on the mobile phone.
Jiang Lingxi was not in a hurry to reply, and reached out to hold the hand of Shen Yunqing who was sitting next to him: "Yunqing, Happy New Year!"
Shen Yunqing held it back and said, "Happy New Year!"
Your Majesty!

Although the location of Xiyuan is a bit remote, you can still hear the intermittent sound of fireworks and firecrackers from far and near.
It wasn’t until the sky turned white that these unique sounds at the end of the year gradually disappeared.
After her ears quieted down, Jiang Lingxi woke up for a while unaccustomedly. She opened her eyes and looked at the face that was still sleeping quietly close by for a moment. Following her instinct, she leaned over and kissed her gently, then rubbed her ears. Turned over and continued to sleep.
Shen Yunqing closed her eyes and waited for the person in front of her to fall asleep again. Then she carefully moved forward, got close to him, and gave him a precious kiss in return.
The two fell asleep hugging each other again.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one would urge people around them to get up early. Everyone in Xiyuan slept straight away until they woke up naturally.
When I woke up, it was almost noon, so I had breakfast and lunch together.
“Will Xixi follow Yun Qing to visit her in-laws to pay New Year’s greetings tomorrow?”
Jiang Lingxi looked at Shen Yunqing.
She already knew that Shen Yunqing's parents were no longer alive in this life.
Fortunately, the elders from the other three families are still there.
“Yes, we plan to go back to our old home tomorrow.”
When only Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing were left in the room, Shen Yunqing explained carefully: "The second to fourth bedrooms of the Shen family have been scattered in all directions, and they are all busy people. My second uncle and I have the closest relationship. It is Shen Qingzhou's father, and the second eldest brother is the one who has the most control over the old house. The third eldest brother is Shen Chuyue and Shen Hechen who have settled in Hudu. I remember mentioning it to Your Majesty before, but this year the third uncle and the others also specially came from Hudu. Came over."
"for me?"
“Well, after going to the old house tomorrow, Your Majesty will have another identity.”
Jiang Lingxi thought for a while, raised her eyebrows and said, "The wife of the Shen family in the imperial capital?"
Hearing the sound, Shen Yunqing felt his heart suddenly beat a few times, and barely managed to hold his breath, "Yes."
“That sounds pretty good. What about the fourth bedroom?”
“My fourth uncle went to study abroad and married a classmate. Since then he has settled overseas. He rarely comes back and doesn’t have much contact.”
Jiang Lingxi nodded. Compared with the famous Shen family a thousand years ago, the current Shen family's population could not be simpler.
“I remember that I also said that I wanted to see the genealogy of your Shen family.”
“You can see it when I go back to my old house this time.”
“Then shall I also be recorded in your Shen family tree?”
It is impossible to write that the head of the Shen family of this generation has never married. It is a bit pitiful to think about it.
“Your Majesty, is it your wish?”
“Then I will write it myself.”
“Of course, it’s an honor to have His Majesty’s handwriting!” (End of this chapter)
