Chapter 670: Eat meat! Set off fireworks!

"Dad, can I make dumplings with this leftover dumpling filling?" Tingting asked.

“Dad, I make dumplings too!”

"These are the leftovers for you. If you want to make dumplings, make them. If you don't want to, dad will make them for you!"

"I'm fine, I just washed my hands!"

"Me too!"

"You two go make dumplings. Dad will watch from the side. If you don't know how, I will teach you!"

“Okay, Dad!”

"Yangyang, put the dumpling wrapper in your left hand first, and use a spoon to put the dumpling filling on the wrapper. Don't put too much, because you will wrap the dumplings in a while!"

“Got it, Dad!”

"Uncle, what are you doing? You are making dumplings. Duoduo is making them too!" Duoduo woke up and came out.

"Next year, Duoduo, your uncle will teach you how to make dumplings. This year, let your brother and sister make dumplings!"

"Okay, let's make dumplings for the New Year next year!" Duoduo was happy.

"Go wash your hands, play with grandma for a while, and then we'll have the New Year's Eve dinner!"

"OK!"

With the help of Cao Dongfang, Tingting and Yangyang each wrapped five dumplings.

The longer they live in the house, the better. Cao Dongfang thinks that after they turn ten years old, he should cook less and let them cook.

Don’t think about it for now, just put the dumplings in the steamer and eat in fifteen minutes.

The people in the compound have become rich, and the fragrance can be smelled for miles even against the wind.

Cao Dongfang used his spiritual sense to scan the place and found that except for Xu Damao, all the other families had six dishes cooked by several young people.

There are fewer people at home, so I cook less.

When Yang Ruihua and Yan Jiedi were together, they only had four dishes and one soup, which was the minimum and also mediocre.

Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li and their children were having dinner together.

The Yan Jiefang brothers had their New Year's Eve dinner in a stand-alone house less than 200 meters away.

Yan Bugui was hopeless. There were only two dishes and a plate of dumplings. The dishes were scrambled eggs and fried meat with shredded potatoes.

There weren’t many dishes, just enough for Yangyang alone.

No more watching, let’s eat.

.......

"Yangyang, eat more vegetables. They're in the soup. Cao Jiajia, don't just eat your sweet and sour pork, eat the vegetables too!"

“Got it, Dad!”

"Uncle, you said that if we eat more fruits, we can eat less vegetables!" Duoduo remembers such things.

"I said you can eat less vegetables, but you and your brother didn't eat any vegetables at all. Today is New Year's Eve, chopsticks are not easy to use, so use a spoon!"

"Hehe, eat vegetables, I forgot, eat them now!" Duoduo started to giggle again.

“Cantonese-style soups are not bad either. If you reduce their sweetness, they will be more suitable for people from the north!”

"People in Beijing don't like sweet food, they like salty food. Just make some changes. Jianghuai cuisine is not bad either!"

"I feel like everything here is braised? The taste is too strong and not very tasty. It should be lighter!"

Mom, "We women have light tastes, while men have heavy tastes. Now that people in the compound have money, they buy stewed pork and fried liver outside or make them at home. Lao Zhao and his family like them!"

"I can't eat this much. Once a month is fine, but not more than that!"

"From now on, Yangyang and Duoduo can just eat meat at home, and have some vegetables from the soup. It won't make much difference whether they eat nothing!" Cao Dongfang said helplessly.

Now Yangyang and Duoduo are really fond of eating meat, and they don’t mind eating braised pork every meal.

Cao Dongfang only puts seven servings of braised pork into the freezer every month, an average of once every four days, because he doesn't want them to eat too much.

The same goes for Cao Jiajia. From childhood to adulthood, she basically doesn't eat vegetables. From now on, she will eat tomatoes mixed with sugar.

Everyone likes this dish.

.......

"Uncle, can we play outside tonight and set off firecrackers? Let's go too!"

"I just finished my meal. Wait for a moment, Auntie, let's go out and play together!"

"Dongfang, I forgot to ask you, you were on duty on New Year's Day!" asked my mother.

"Third grade!"

"Fortunately, I can go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow!"

"Let's go together tomorrow!"

"After Jiajia and Xianxian finished packing, they went out to play for a while. The country has increased wages, so more people are setting off firecrackers!"

"Everyone go out in a while, I'll set off some big fireworks, let's see if they look good!"

"Dad, did you put it in the same way as before?" Tingting asked.

"In the past, it was just small fireworks that you kids played with, but now it's big fireworks that can reach dozens of meters into the sky!"

“Dad, let it go and let us watch!” Tingting clapped her hands.

"Dongfang, where are you from!"

"I bought it in Hong Kong. The New Year atmosphere is stronger there, and everyone has money. There are a lot of New Year supplies!"

"Dongfang, how is the port city? Are the people living well?"

“It’s better than the country. They developed earlier. We can catch up with them by 2000!”

"I've never been outside of Beijing since I came here, so I don't know what other cities are like."

“It should be normal now. The country will start to speed up construction from this year, and it will be different in five years.

In a few years, when Tingting and the others are older, I will accompany you to travel around.

"Let's talk about it in a few years. We're getting old!" said Cao's mother with a smile.

"After the fireworks, I'll give you something good that will make you younger. It's the New Year's gift I prepared for you!

"Okay, let's see what can make me younger later!"

“Not long! Finish the fireworks!”

.......

"Mom, Dongfang, get ready, let's go out and play.

Tingting, the three of you take the lanterns your uncle bought, and let’s go out and play!” Song Xianxian also wanted to go out.

"Mom, Dad said to set off the fireworks, let's go watch it together!"

"What do big fireworks look like? Are they the same as those set off by the country? Can they go into the sky?" Song Xianxian asked.

I'll go get it. In a few minutes, we'll start setting off the fireworks. You guys go out and wait for me! "

"We'll wait for you outside!"

.......

"Dongfang, the fireworks are so big, half the height of a person, as tall as Tingting!"

"There are still some at home. I'll go get two more! Let's start setting off fireworks!" Cao Dongfang said and went to get fireworks again.

"Xianxian, what is this?" Yu Li asked.

"Aunt Yu Li, it's a big firework. My uncle bought it in...Hong Kong City. It will be set off soon!" Duoduo answered quickly.

"Duoduo is so good. Doesn't Duoduo go back to live with his mother?" Yu Li asked.

"I didn't go back. I have my own ideas now that I'm older!"

“Love it!”

"Xianxian, Dongfang went to get fireworks again. How many did he buy? It's so big!" Liang Ladi asked.

"Quite a few. There's more. Go get it from Dongfang!"

"Sister Xiu'er, let's watch the big fireworks later!"

"What are big fireworks? What is this big cardboard box?" Xiu'er asked.

"It's a big firework, Sister Huaihua, Sister Xiaodang, let's watch Daddy put up a big firework together!"

"Wow, Dongfang is really awesome. He can carry one in each hand, even though the boxes are taller than people!" Qin Huairu was quite surprised.

At this time, everyone has basically finished their New Year’s Eve dinner, and those who have children will take them out to play.

Cao Dongfang took out 20 large boxes in five trips, the smallest of which was as tall as Duoduo.

It takes more than half an hour to finish.

In the open space in front of the courtyard, Cao Dongfang started setting off fireworks.

The children who were playing here stopped playing and were waiting to watch the big fireworks.

Small fireworks have been available for the past two years. They are half-person-high fireworks that no one has ever seen, including adults.

The country sets off fireworks, but I've never seen anything the size of a box.

Bang! Bang! Bang....

After a few loud bangs, the first firework went up into the sky. In an instant, the sky seemed to turn into daytime, and gorgeous patterns appeared in the sky.

It was like a huge phoenix flying in the sky, with flames spewing out from time to time.

"What a beautiful, big phoenix! Fireworks can be made like this!" Qin Huairu was a little surprised.

Yu Li, "Yes, it's beautiful. I never thought that I would learn something new today!"

"Uncle, it's so beautiful, let's put it on!" Duoduo clapped his hands happily.

"Dad, let me do it too!" Tingting was also very excited.

“Dad, I’ll let go too!”

"You guys, one for each of you, start with Duoduo, and uncle will set off the fireworks!"

After the first firework was set off, it was like an arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops came to meet, and many people came out from the vicinity.

Duoduo, Tingting, and Yangyang each set off a firework, and they all used incense to light it.

Colorful fireworks bloom one by one in the sky.

The fireworks were beautiful. Everyone enjoyed watching them and the children had fun playing as well.
