Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Preparing New Year’s Eve Dinner

It’s only been two years, and these two kids have grown a lot.

And they’ve gotten much darker, this winter didn’t lighten them up at all.

“I’ll make you some malted milk.”

Malted milk flavor?

It was only this year that they got to taste malted milk, but it was meant for their mother to replenish her health, they just got a taste, one drink was enough.

“Little Aunt, no need, no need.”

“We have some at home.”

Because there weren’t enough enamel cups, they could only make two big cups, letting the siblings share, and the brothers share.

“You’ll be eating over there at noon, have a bite to tide you over.”

Yun Xiaoxiao gave them quite a bit more to eat.

Sanya and Xiao Mao haven’t eaten as well these past two years as they did when Yun Xiaoxiao was at the team.

“These biscuits are so delicious.”

“Crispy biscuits, your grandma makes them well too, but because your Aunt Yuemei had an accident, she didn’t get the chance to make them.”

Da Bao and Xiao Bao acknowledged, “Grandma makes a lot of delicious cakes, but eating them every day really becomes tiresome.”

Makes a lot of delicious cakes?

The siblings took a sip of the malted milk and ate some biscuits; these biscuits were really delicious.

It had been a long time since they had such tasty biscuits.

“We’re going over to the old house, we’ll eat there for lunch.”

Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t plan to cook at home, she just wanted to heat some water to wash feet and boil water to fill bottles.

Eating at the old house for a few days shouldn’t bring any gossip.

“Okay.”

The kids obediently followed Yun Xiaoxiao to the old house.

Zhao Tianhai’s family of four hadn’t returned yet, they were probably still busy at the store.

However, Sister-in-law Zhao’s family had come over.

Sister-in-law Zhao looked a little embarrassed when she saw Yun Xiaoxiao.

Back then when she was sick, the Laosan couple mailed over so much money, and the remaining money was used to buy a house, now they really had no money left to repay Laosan’s family.

“Elder Brother, Sister-in-law.”

The kids immediately called out to Yun Xiaoxiao.

“Little Aunt.”

Brother Zhao was even more reserved, “Sister-in-law, where’s Shitou?”

“He went to the town, he should be back soon.”

Speak of the devil and he appears, Zhao Tianlei came back pushing a bicycle, taking down a big bag of things.

“Little Uncle…..”

“Dad…..”

“Laosan…..”

“Hurry up, everyone’s waiting for you to have lunch together.”

“There were so many people at the market today, it was a bit crowded, I bought some meat, sunflower seeds, and candy.”

“So much meat?”

“The butcher knows me, so he saved the good meat for me.”

The butcher did indeed know Zhao Tianlei, they were classmates.

He also heard that Zhao Tianlei was making a lot of money in the Capital City, but he was too busy to chat, though they agreed to meet up at home someday.

Daya and the others saw the meat, a lot of meat.

During the New Year, they bought meat, but not this much.

“Time to eat, time to eat.”

Adults at one table, a few kids at another.

After eating, Yun Xiaoxiao grabbed some candy for the kids to play with.

They had to start preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Braised pork belly, plum vegetable pork, crispy meat, meatballs, the busy preparations were heating up.

Daya didn’t go out to play with her younger siblings; instead, she went to the kitchen to help by tending the fire.

Eldest Aunt-in-law Zhao also came over to help.

Everyone knew they would be celebrating New Year’s Eve at the eldest uncle’s house.

Zhao Tianhai’s family also came back from the county town.

Da Shu’s mother hurried over to the old house to help.

“Laosan…” It hadn’t been long since they’d last met, but Laosan seemed to have changed again.
