Chapter 943: I’m so envious of you

“Thank you, mother-in-law. I’m willing to pay for your meal.”

Since he had accepted all the ones in front, Wu Dianyang had no choice but to accept the two as well.

“Don’t say that. It’s Chinese New Year, and we can’t get together if we’re not a family.”

“Where is Huihong?” Lin Jiao asked after looking around.

“My mother went to my uncle’s house. I’ll go call her.” Wu Dianyang said.

Lin Jiao stopped him and let Chen Huihong go visit relatives with peace of mind.

Roll up your sleeves and help wash the vegetables.

“Mother-in-law, you are a guest, how can I let you do this?”

“Let’s go watch TV. Last year’s Spring Festival Gala is being replayed.”

“Although I watched it last year, it’s still interesting to watch it again after a year.”

As Wang Yumei spoke, she pulled Lin Jiao into the room.

Nini was originally playing with Chen Hui’s hands, but when she saw her mother leaving, she stretched out her little hands and burst into tears.

Wang Yumei hurried over and hugged the child to comfort her.

Seeing that she was not able to help and was causing more trouble, Lin Jiao did not dare to say that she wanted to work anymore.

Watch TV in the room with An Wenyi.

Chen Huihong came back with Zaizai soon.

Seeing Lin Jiao in the room, he waved to her happily, “Glad that you’re here, I was worried that you wouldn’t come.”

“Since you called me specifically, I must come!”

“I bought a lot of food at home. We will go there after breakfast tomorrow. We will have lunch and dinner at my house.”

Lin Jiao came out of the room while talking.

“Going to your house tomorrow?” Chen Huihong looked at Lin Jiao in confusion.

“Didn’t we agree that Wen Yi and I will come to dinner today, and you and your whole family will come to my house tomorrow?”

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be pretending to be stupid, Lin Jiao was confused for a moment.

They both looked at Chen Hui.

“What are you looking at me doing?”

“I’m not a good kid. It’s normal for me to lie to others.”

Chen Hui sat at the square table and peeled peanuts for An Wenjing.

He grinned at the two of them, making Lin Jiao want to punch him.

“Mom, I have already criticized him seriously, and Brother Chen Hui knows he is wrong.” An Wenjing chimed in.

Lin Jiao sighed helplessly.

There is no way to deal with Chen Hui.

“Lin Jiao, I’m going to criticize you if you do this!”

“I asked you to come for dinner, so you should just come openly. Why do you need to explain so much?”

“Come, come and work with me.”

Chen Huihong said this and took Lin Jiao behind the stove.

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner together.

Wu Shuisheng came back a step late and was very surprised when he saw it.

He asked quietly, “Why did your aunt ask your mother-in-law to work with you?”

“That’s good. I think she would feel uncomfortable if we don’t find something for her to do.” Chen Hui said.

Nini still needs an adult to accompany her.

An Wenyi and Wu Dianyang’s son was having fun playing with firecrackers in the yard.

An Wenjing sat on a bench nearby, watching them and giving them reminders from time to time.

Wu Dianyang searched upstairs and downstairs and found a chess piece.

Chen Hui and I played chess while eating melon seeds and peanuts.

Time passed unconsciously.

The aroma of food wafted out from every household, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard from the village from time to time.

“Ah Hui, Ah Yang, stop playing and clear the table for dinner.”

Chen Huihong spoke loudly towards the table.

Wu Shuisheng, who was burning fire behind the stove, stood up immediately when he heard it.

First, he took away the chess game that Chen Hui and Wu Dianyang were playing, and then he took the tablecloth to wipe the table.

“Hey, Dad, what are you doing? I’m about to win.” Wu Dianyang said helplessly.

“I knew it would take a long time for you two to dawdle.” “Hurry up and eat, then go watch TV.”

Wu Shuisheng wiped the table quickly and urged the two to call back the children who were playing outside.

Chen Huihong began to serve dishes to the table.

First, a large bowl of chicken soup was placed on the table.

Then he went to the drawer of the cupboard and found a crumpled plastic bag.

Chen Hui saw it with his sharp eyes, and quickly grabbed the bag and said, “Aunt, no matter how good Panax notoginseng powder is, it is still a traditional Chinese medicine. Don’t add it during the New Year, right?”

“Let’s add a little more. It tastes better.” said Chen Huihong.

“Oh my god! Please just let us go, this really doesn’t taste good.”

Wu Dianyang called his son and An Wenyi back.

Seeing that Chen Huihong was about to add this again, he hurried over to persuade her.

“Okay, okay, then I won’t let you go today.”

Chen Huihong compromised and put the Panax notoginseng powder back into the drawer.

Bring the other dishes that are still hot in the wok to the table one by one, and finally stir-fry some green vegetables.

The table, which was not big to begin with, was suddenly filled to the brim.

Seeing that there was only wine on the table, Chen Hui asked Wu Shuisheng, “Uncle, where are the drinks? Didn’t I leave half a box of Jianlibao here?”

“I’ll get it.” Wu Shuisheng said.

When Zaizai heard that there was Jianlibao to drink, he cheered happily.

Pulling An Wenyi, he whispered mysteriously, “Aunt, that stuff is delicious. Let’s drink it together later.”

“Okay!” She likes everything as long as it is delicious and tasty.

Wu Shuisheng picked up the homemade red wine.

He added wine to the glasses in front of himself, Chen Hui and Wu Dianyang.

Holding a large enamel cup of warm wine, he asked, “Four female comrades, what are you drinking?”

“I’ll have a drink.” An Wenjing said.

“Dad, I drink too and take care of the kids at night,” said Wang Yumei.

“It’s such a nice day, I want some wine.”

Chen Huihong handed the cup in front of her to Wu Shuisheng.

Then he said to Lin Jiao, “Why don’t you have a drink too?”

“Okay, let’s have a drink on New Year’s Day.” Lin Jiao said simply.

“Mom, I’ll give you mine. I might need to ride my bike tonight.”

Chen Hui said this and put himself in front of Lin Jiao.

He took the cup in front of her and poured himself a drink.

“Then let’s have a drink first, okay? I’m particularly happy this year.”

“Ayang and Ahai both got a salary increase this year.”

“After Ah Hui married Wen Jing, he became a different person. He became more sensible all of a sudden.”

“I will also be a woman who can make money in the future.”

“This has been a really good year, and next year will be even better.”

Chen Huihong held the cup and said happily.

“Why drink a sip? Let’s have a drink.”

“I am happy this year because I got such a good son-in-law like Chen Hui, and Wen Jing got a job in the company.”

“You don’t know how envious the villagers are of me now!”

Lin Jiao stood up while speaking, picked up the cup and clinked it with Chen Huihong’s.

I finished half a cup of it.

“What’s going on with you two?”

“We’ve just started eating, and we’re already doing the ‘reminiscing about the past and imagining the future’ segment?” Chen Hui said jokingly.

Judging from Lin Jiao’s attitude, I don’t need to make another trip today.

“They were just in front of the stove, talking while working, and they were laughing happily.”

Wu Shuisheng said jokingly.

“Eat first, eat something and then drink!”

“Tonight, we won’t go home until we’re drunk!” Chen Huihong said, pulling Lin Jiao to sit down.
