Chapter 288: New Year's Atmosphere
Finally, the small fried dough twists and fried dough balls were ready.
Jian Yue put them on a plate and brought it to the living room.
Xiaoyi and Yaoyao rushed over immediately and couldn’t wait to pick up a small twist and stuff it into their mouths.
“Smells good… smells good…” Brother Xiaoyi said with satisfaction.
Yaoyao also ate with gusto, with a happy smile on her face.
Jiang Zeyuan returned home after work. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong fragrance.
Following the aroma, I rushed straight into the kitchen, and saw the stove filled with freshly made small twisted dough sticks and fried dough sticks.
Jiang Zeyuan's eyes lit up, and he reached out and picked up a small twist and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jian Yue was busy cleaning the kitchen, and when she turned around, she saw Jiang Zeyuan eating secretly.
His eyes widened, "Jiang Zeyuan, why are you so childish!"
Jiang Zeyuan stuffed a small fried dough twist in his mouth and said incoherently: "It smells so good, I can't help it."
After saying that, he reached out to take the fried dough fritters.
Jian Yue raised the spatula in a pretentious manner and said, "No more eating. Let's eat together later."
Jiang Zeyuan didn't take it seriously and continued to eat secretly.
"If you eat again, I'll be really angry."
Jiang Zeyuan then stopped and looked at Jian Yue with a smile.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Jian Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You only know how to bully me."
Jiang Zeyuan quickly hugged Jian Yue, "How could I bully you? This smells so good."
When Xiaoyi and Yaoyao saw their parents playing, they also ran around excitedly.
He kept shouting: "Hehehe... Hehehe..."
Grandma Zhong was watching this lively scene from the side, smiling from ear to ear.
After they packed up the New Year gifts, they prepared to set out to deliver the gifts.
Jian Yue and another person were carrying eight oil-paper bags filled with small twisted dough sticks, fried dough balls, dried abalone and dried shrimp, which gave off an enticing aroma.
Jiang Zeyuan was carrying two baskets of red apples in his hands.
The family drove back to the compound happily.
Zhong was also there, being carefully helped by Jiang Zeyuan to sit in the car.
The two children and Jian Yue sat in the back.
But before going to the Jiang family, they first stopped by the Jian family.
As soon as they entered the Jian family's house, Jian Weiguo and Wang Chenglan saw them and their faces were filled with joy.
Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan walked into the Jian family's door carrying carefully prepared New Year gifts.
When Jian Weiguo saw them, a smile immediately broke out on his face. "Hey, come if you want. Why bring so many things with you?"
"Dad, these are all snacks we made ourselves, and there are also some small gifts. Let you try them."
Wang Chenglan walked over quickly and held Jian Yue's hand tightly, "Stay and have dinner with us."
Jian Yue shook her head slightly, and said softly but politely, "Mom, no, we still have to go to the Jiang family. Today is Xiaonian, and everyone is waiting."
Jian Weiguo nodded in understanding, "Okay, go quickly, and remember to come back on the second day of the New Year."
Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan exchanged a few brief greetings with the Jian family, then turned and left.
They got into the car, started the engine, and the car drove away slowly, setting off for the Jiang family again.
Before entering the Jiang family’s front door, the rich aroma of snacks wafted in.
As soon as I got home, Jiang Linlin was already waiting at the door.
When he saw them coming back, he immediately flew over, staring at the oil-paper bag, and shouted excitedly: "Snacks! Snacks!"
Jian Yue smiled and patted Jiang Linlin's head, "Little greedy cat, let's eat together later."
Jiang Linlin nodded obediently, but her eyes remained on the snacks.
When I walked into the house, the Jiang family came to greet me.
Zhou Wanyue looked at the gifts they brought with a smile on her face, "Yueyue, what delicious food did you make?"
"These are some homemade snacks and some small gifts. Let's all try them together."
Jiang Zeyuan handed the dried abalone and dried shrimp to Jiang Guodong, "Dad, this is for your wine."
Jiang Guodong nodded with satisfaction.
Mrs. Zhong looked at the lively family, her eyes full of satisfaction.
"It's great to have such a big family, so lively and cheerful."
Everyone gathered around and asked about Zhong's health.
Mrs. Zhong smiled and waved her hands, "I'm fine. Seeing you all so happy, I'm happy too."
The family sat together, and the nanny was already preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.
Jian Yue took out the snacks and placed them on the table. The small twisted dough sticks were golden and crispy, the fried dough balls were round and plump, and the apples were red and very tempting.
Jiang Linlin couldn't wait to pick up a small fried dough twist and take a bite, "Delicious! Delicious!"
Everyone was amused by her cute appearance.
.......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is New Year's Eve.
On this day, the whole city was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and red lanterns hung high.
The festive atmosphere of the New Year has become increasingly strong. In the first year of opening up, everyone’s enthusiasm can be seen from the atmosphere of preparing for the New Year.
Jian Yue and her family got up early and brought a lot of food back to the Jiang family.
In the kitchen, Aunt Zhang was busy.
Mrs. Zhong took the children to play in the yard. Xiaoyi and Yaoyao ran around excitedly with innocent smiles on their faces.
Jiang Linlin also helped take care of her younger siblings.
Sometimes she squatted down to tidy up Xiaoyi's clothes, and sometimes she gently pulled Yaoyao to prevent her from falling.
Jiang Zeyuan looked at the children with a slight smile on his face.
He, Jiang Lin, and Jiang Zesheng and his son drank tea and chatted about random things.
At noon, the table was filled with a sumptuous reunion dinner.
The whole family sat together, all with happy smiles on their faces.
Jiang Guodong raised his glass and said, "This year, our family has experienced a lot and gained a lot. I hope that in the new year, our family can be safe and happy."
Everyone raised their glasses and wished for a better new year.
After the reunion dinner, the family returned to the courtyard.
Jian Yue took out the snacks that she had prepared long ago, including melon seeds, peanuts, candies, etc.
Everyone sat together, eating snacks and chatting.
The children were playing nearby, and cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.
Jian Yue gently bit a melon seed from time to time, feeling extremely relaxed.
Jiang Zeyuan leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying this warm moment.
"This year, our family's life has really been getting better and better."
"Yes, thanks to you, our family is so happy." Jiang Zeyuan reached out and held Jian Yue's hand and squeezed it gently.
They talked about the changes that had taken place over the past year and the development of the country.
As time passed, night gradually fell.
The family sat in the yard, looking at the faint stars in the sky.
The children snuggled up to Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan and listened to them telling fairy tales.
Brother Xiaoyi blinked his big eyes, his face full of curiosity.
Yaoyao leaned in Jian Yue's arms and listened quietly.
The clock was about to strike twelve and everyone else in the house was asleep.
Jiang Zeyuan got up in the dark and prepared to set off firecrackers.
Holding the firecrackers carefully, I walked into the yard.
The deafening sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out.
Red confetti danced in the air like flowers scattered from heaven, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
The children were frightened awake, and Jian Yue hurriedly hugged the two children to comfort them.
Patting the children's backs gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is celebrating the New Year."
With Jian Yue's comfort, the children gradually calmed down.
