Chapter 206 '74s New Year Eve Dinner



Chapter 206. '74s New Year Eve Dinner

Father Zhou's situation had stabilized, and everyone in the old Zhou family can let out a sigh of relief.

Father Zhou's illness arrived so abruptly and fiercely. It had Mother Zhou feeling terrified. It wasn't just her. Eldest Brother and the others were also very anxious.

Last night, Father Zhou even started to mumble nonsense and wanted to give his last words.

Fortunately, Fourth's wife had prepared medicine. After taking it, he was forced back to life.

How can old Zhou family not breathe a sigh of relief after this?

Due to Lin Qing He's current achievement, her position in old Zhou family was truly unshakable as long as she didn't do anything overboard.

Eldest Sister-in-law and others can't throw their weight in front of her.

Of course, they won't throw their weight around because they were also relieved.

During Father Zhou’s recuperation, it was needless to say how good the food was. Extremely. On top of that, with the old man’s normally sturdy body, he was able to come for a stroll in just two days after bundling up.

At this time, it was already getting close to the end of the year.

Even though Father Zhou had recovered a lot in the past two days, he appeared to lose weight. After all, he was getting older. Withstanding this, took a lot out of him.

The leader personally came to show his care. He ruefully said: "Old Brother, don't push too hard like this in the future. Qing Bai and his brothers are all capable. They won't let you and my sister-in-law have nothing to eat."

"If this year's grain isn't harvested, don't think about celebrating New Year. It is tiring." Father Zhou replied.

He himself felt that his illness was linked to this year's autumn harvest. It can't be helped. This year's weather was bad, so it really couldn't be delayed.

The leader admired his awareness.

"However, this illness had damaged the core. I'm afraid that I will not be able to do it again in the future even if I want to." Father Zhou continued.

He felt that he had to take good care of his body. He didn't want to over-exert himself. If he did, he'll most likely be finished in a few years.

The leader naturally agreed. After working hard for most of his life, he can relax and enjoy since encountered filial sons and daughters-in-law, right?

On the 29th, Zhou Qing Bai entered the city and brought a net bag of pears.

It went without saying, Father Zhou had a share of it. Half a net bag was brought over.

Father Zhou kept a few for himself. The rest was given to the rest of the grandchildren. It had the children elated too.

In a blink, it was New Year's Eve.

"Your father's intention is to have a whole family New Year dinner together." Mother Zhou came over and informed.

"Okay. Each family will take a few dishes and pool together." Lin Qing He said when she heard this.

Mother Zhou grinned. She went over to notify the other daughters-in-law. As long as Fourth's wife agreed, there was no problem with the other three.

Both Little Su Cheng and Little Su Xun had been taken back to the city by their father to celebrate the New Year. Because of this year's severe cold, it was said that the city won't officially go to work until the fifteenth of January. This was considered relatively long.

Lin Qing He prepared five dishes on her side- stir-fried pork with potatoes, stewed pork with starch noodles, stewed pork ribs in soy sauce, a plate of braised pork, and a pot of big bone radish soup.

Such dishes were naturally great.

The other three were very cooperative. They too had prepared a lot of dishes.

Because the headcount was too large, they had to split between two tables.

Since the family separation, there had been no such family get together. Due to Father Zhou getting seriously ill and making this wish, the sons and daughters-in-law were also happy to satisfy him.

Therefore, as soon as the family members huddled together, they began New Year's Eve dinner.

At the dinner table, there were talks about the harvest in the past few years and the progress of every household.

The old Zhou family was indeed getting better and better. The family with the best development happened to be Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He's, which the villagers hadn't had much expectation before.

It can be said that a black horse had emerged.

The other three weren't faring badly. Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law's girls had grown up, especially Zhou Da Ni.

Once the off-peak season arrived next year, she will get married.

In fact, in-laws wanted the marriage after the new year, but Eldest Sister-in-law wanted to keep her eldest daughter a bit longer. So they'll talk about it when it's off-peak season next year.

Second Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law were also doing well. After all, Second Brother and Third sister-in-law Brother weren't lazy. As long as the man in the family can handle the responsibility, the woman in the family will take care of the house. How can life get worse?

They all made small savings.

Therefore, everyone ate till their heart content during the New Year's Eve dinner.

After eating, Lin Qing He chatted with her three sisters-in-law.

"San Ni, bring Liu Ni over to help your sister and the others with the dishwashing," instructed Second Sister-in-law.

Zhou San Ni agreed. However, Zhou Liu Ni didn't want to go, but she didn't dare to say in front of her mother. She came to the kitchen and said: "There are so many people, don't need me at all?"

"I saw you gobbled up a lot of meat, fish, and eggs. Now it comes to work, you want to hide?" Zhou San Ni hadn't spoken out. It was Third Sister-in-law's Zhou Wu Ni who snorted coldly.

"What are you talking about? Haven't you eaten too? I think you eat more than me!" responded Zhou Liu Ni at once.

"No need to argue. You ate the most." Eldest Sister-in-law's Zhou Si Ni directed at Zhou Liu Ni.

They all witnessed it just now. Although it was a rare chance to have such a good meal, it was still disgraceful to look like a starving ghost coming back to life.

Zhou Liu Ni became mad: "You guys are bullying me!"

After saying this, she ran out.

"Hmph, making another excuse to not work." Zhou Wu Ni said with a curled lips. Then she turned to Zhou San Ni: "Sister San Ni, why are you spoiling her? Acting like that, wouldn't it be hard to find a good husband in the future?"

Zhou San Ni shook her head: "I'm not spoiling her."

If she didn't do the chores at home, it will be left undone or wait until her mother comes back and do it herself.

So Zhou San Ni doesn't argue with her sister. If she was willing to do it, then do it. If she didn't, it didn't matter if she worked more. It wasn't tiring work anyway.

However, the young girls were much happier without the petty and scheming Zhou Liu Ni. They talked and laughed while working together.

Lin Qing He talked with Eldest Sister-in-law and the others for more than an hour. During the period, she sent Da Wa back to get the sweets and share it. It contributed to the festive air.

However, New Year's Eve dinners like this were limited to this year.

If they want to eat like this next year, her family won't participate.

It's just because she really couldn't stand Zhou Liu Ni, this niece's way of eating during dinner. And Second Sister-in-law didn't say a word. So she couldn't eat together with them.

But let's forget it this year. Treat it as fulfilling the wishes of the elderly.

When it was almost time, Lin Qing He took the children home first.

As for Zhou Qing Bai, he was still gathering with Eldest Brother and the others. It was rare to get together, so it was fine to stay longer.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't come back until after ten o'clock.

Although he didn't say much, Lin Qing He could still see from the man's face that he was in a good mood. He poured him a cup of warm honey water to drink and then sent him to sleep.

"Wife." Zhou Qing Bai got on the Kang and held her.
