Chapter 1002: Gathering New Year's Eve Dinner!
Li Xiaomei ducked and said with a smile: "Oh, sister Jing, I'm stupid, I don't mean that. We make more money, aren't you happy?"
"Humph! I see, every time you receive money, you are the happiest, right? Your face is full of smiles" Jing Qing said with a smile.
The teasing between Jing Qingxin and Li Xiaomei suddenly made the whole atmosphere a lot cheerful, Xia Yun also calmed down and showed a smile.
Jing Qing said in her heart: "Okay, go back and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner! Now, it's getting late, and I won't let you sit for a long time. Happy New Year!"
"good!"
"Happy New Year!"
Immediately, the three of the Shen family went home for the New Year with a large amount of money in their pockets!
Li Xiaomei stayed in the Gao's small courtyard and played with her four little friends. It wasn't because she wanted to be lazy and didn't want to help with things. She really had nothing to do!
The three aunties are all diligent and handy people. Inside and outside, they have cleaned up, and even the kitchen work is almost ready!
Even if there are some remaining small things, they are all taken over by them, and there is no place for her at all!
She had no choice but to make room for them without disturbing them, and came to the children's room to play with the four little babies! Playing with the kids is also a lot of fun!

When night fell, everyone in the Gao Family Courtyard was sitting around the dining table!
Zhang Liangping's family of three, Jing Hongguo's family of three, Jing Yi's family of four, Gao Shen's family of four, plus Li Xiaomei, a total of fifteen people, the four little friends don't occupy any place, but they just make up one. A big round table.
Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is extraordinarily rich, with a large table full of dishes, and even overlapping dishes!
It's not the first time for Li Xiaomei. It's New Year's Eve abroad, so she doesn't feel down and sad. After all, she's not alone here, and Sister Jing and the others are by her side!
Tonight is the 30th New Year's Eve, and we have to keep the New Year's Eve at night, so this New Year's Eve dinner should not be eaten in a hurry!
Therefore, everyone eats leisurely and comfortably, while chatting, eating vegetables slowly, and occasionally drinking a sip of flower wine, the atmosphere is very harmonious and lively!
How can there be a lack of wine to accompany this festival? ! Always cheer up and have fun.
Therefore, this New Year's Eve dinner, everyone ate from 6:30 in the evening to around 9:00 in the evening, and then completely disbanded the table!
Then, the position of this gossip was transferred from the dining table to the sofa resting place in the main room.
Jing Qingxin kicked out the three female elders who wanted to help in the kitchen, leaving Li Xiaomei behind to clean up with her in the kitchen.
Li Xiaomei is very happy that she can stay and do things. If she doesn't help to do something, she will really feel uncomfortable. She feels that the most leisurely person throughout the day is her!
And their three elders have also been busy for a while. As juniors, they should do more. How can they make the elders tired?
It took the two of them half an hour to clean up the hygiene of the kitchen!
Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, there is still a lot of food left, Jing Qingxin has also put it on the plate and covered it, so you don't have to worry about it going rancid in winter!
Although there are not too many of them, but a large round table is full of dishes, and some overlap, this amount of food, as you can imagine, is still very solid!
This amount of food is deliberately beyond the range of everyone's food intake, so that there can be leftovers for the New Year's Eve dinner!
As for why the New Year's Eve dinner is specially left over? This is a custom that has been inherited for five thousand years in China. Even if the number of people in the family is small, on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year, it is necessary to make it richer.
New Year's Eve, in the Chinese calendar, is the last day of the old year. Naturally, you have to eat well and reward yourself and your family. This year's hard work, if the last day of the old year, you have finished eating. There are still leftover meals and grains at home, which means that the family is living a good life.
Secondly, the New Year is about to usher in. In order to pray that the next year will be like the last meal of this year, we can eat well and have some leftovers. Therefore, we have to leave some meals. In this way, the meaning of More than every year!
Everyone else is sitting in the main room, smashing melon seeds and peanuts, drinking tea, and chatting about family things! The whole house is very cozy!
Jing Qing looked at this scene and felt quite touched. For her previous self, could she have imagined that one day, there would be a day like this?
At this moment, those who accompany her are her most important relatives. Now, everyone can gather here, keep the New Year together, and welcome the New Year together!
This feeling and experience is really good!
At this moment, Jing Qing felt extremely satisfied and happy!
She believes that in the new year, she will be happier, and the people around her will be happier too!
Immediately, Jing Qingxin and Li Xiaomei also joined the big team, laughing with everyone!
