Although Xu Mei is also very good-looking and has a good figure, judging from the way she hugged him one day, she should be pretty good, but she is a widow.

It is said that there is a lot of trouble at the widow's door.

What's more, Xu Mei's brother-in-law is Lao Liang, and she is also the chief of the finance department. Zhou Jimin thinks he can't deal with this woman.

Therefore, we can only stay away.

Fortunately, she didn't find Siheyuan, otherwise, he would have eight mouths and couldn't explain clearly.

The two were cozy in the room for a while, and then Ding Qiunan, blushing and shy, stood up and hugged Zhou Qingxian back.

In the past few days, the little guy has been drinking milk powder soaked in space spring water and has slowly grown.

They grow a little faster than ordinary babies.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin quickly controlled the amount of space spring water, squeezing only one or two drops every day.

I'm afraid that if Zhou Qingxian grows up too fast, she will be dead.

The preparation for the New Year’s Eve dinner starts in the morning.

The Zhou family’s New Year’s Eve dinner did not prepare dumplings, but rice and stir-fried vegetables.

Braised meat with taro and tiger skin is a must, and the authentic Buddha Jumping over the Wall is also ready.

The ingredients for the dish Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are too difficult to collect.

This is not something you can do if you have money, but the capital is not close to the sea, and Zhou Jimin is just a humble citizen with no personal connections and is unwilling to go to high-end restaurants to show off, so he can only collect quietly.

Fortunately, the existence of Pigeon Market perfectly avoided risks and allowed him to collect a lot of ingredients.

In addition to the above two hard dishes, there are also many vegetarian dishes.

After all, a combination of meat and vegetables is the best dietary structure.

The three treasures of Hakka brewing are eggplant, pepper and bitter melon. However, the bitter melon thing was abandoned by Zhou Jimin.

Life is already very bitter, there is no need to experience it in terms of taste.

As for remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet, we haven’t reached this point yet.

It would be great to replace it with tofu puffs.

But the tofu puffs need to be fried. If you fry them at home, the courtyard will have to be fried.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin always made the tofu puffs in the space before taking them out.

Stir-fried green beans, fried snow peas with sausage, oil-consuming lettuce and other vegetarian dishes, plus a big lobster and a black-bone chicken soup, it is basically perfect.

However, Ding Qiunan gave him a blank look after reading it.

Ding Qiunan was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to work on his own affairs.

But he started nagging again,

She originally wanted to stay, but because she couldn't bear to leave her family, she felt uncomfortable.

Being teased like this by Zhou Jimin, I couldn't stop crying.

Seeing her burst into tears, Zhou Jimin realized his mistake.

I coaxed her a few words and waited until the light rain turned sunny, then she felt relieved.

Soon, the New Year’s Eve dinner at home was almost ready.

Ding Qiunan was furious, because of his obsession, he felt very sweet in his heart, but he was teasing himself.

She could stand it once or twice and still feel it was sweet, but if it happened too many times, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhou Jimin smiled, clapped his hands, and asked Zhou Shuqing and the others to come in.

Ding Qiunan was stunned for a moment. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon and it was New Year's Eve dinner?

Immediately, she was deeply moved.

As soon as the door is closed and the windows are locked, the New Year's Eve dinner is finally ready.

Neighbors in the courtyard, children are still playing outside, and adults are still chatting or busy with sewing.

Therefore, no one knows about the Zhou family’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, the four little ones all widened their eyes, and Ding Qiunan also felt a sense of accomplishment: This is the New Year's Eve dinner made by my man and me.

Let’s eat!

Zhou Qingxian is still too young and can only drink milk powder. The poor baby has been there for several days, and even for more than a year, she can only drink milk.

A large table of dishes, half of which was not finished.

The four little ones no longer eat as much as they did half a year ago. Although they ate a lot today, they are still far behind the big eaters before.

After the meal, the four little ones cleaned up the mess. After cleaning up, Zhou Jimin stood up and sent Ding Qiunan home.

This time, Zhou Shuqing and Little Goldfish no longer want to see Sister Nan off.

The third and fourth children don’t want to give it away even more, because they also want to play with firecrackers.

Children aged nine or ten are the most playful.

Walking out of the courtyard, Lao Meng's family was also busy, seeming to be preparing dinner.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan rode away.

Wutongshu Hutong, Dingjia in the courtyard.

Su Ruyun was already disappointed. Her daughter was like water thrown away. Alas, she was not married yet, so she didn’t care about her family.

Of course, she just complained a few words, but in fact, she still wished her daughter could stay in the Zhou family longer, or simply marry her as soon as possible.

However, when she thought that her uncle was only sixteen years old after the Chinese New Year, Su Ruyun felt bitter again.

What can we do?

Zhou Jimin sent Ding Qiunan back to the Ding family, and received a warm invitation from the Ding family. Then he was forced to give birth to a child and have another New Year's Eve dinner.

After Zhou Jimin left, Su Ruyun pulled her daughter into the room and whispered.

Ding Qiunan was extremely embarrassed, but her mother continued to persuade her to consummate the marriage as soon as possible. She couldn't really wait five years, right? After consummating the marriage, giving birth to a child, it would not be too late to get the certificate when she is old enough.

Anyway, this is basically the case in rural areas now, so what are you afraid of?

As soon as the words "Tiger and Wolf" came out, Ding Qiunan had nothing to say. In the end, he was so ashamed that he ran away.

However, she still listened to her mother's words.

1958 passed quietly.

On New Year’s Day, eat and play.

On the second day of junior high school, it’s still time to eat, drink and have fun.

On the third day of junior high school, Zhou Jimin spoke up and asked them to calm down and open their books. It was time to study.

The little goldfish felt wild and wanted to resist.

It was directly suppressed.

She, the little goldfish, is not in charge of this family.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Jimin went out and knocked on Director Wang’s house.

Director Wang lives in an alley not far away, closer to the Forbidden City.

The two of them pushed each other, but in the end Zhou Jimin won.

All he gave me were ten eggs, two kilograms of white flour and two boxes of large front doors.

This thing is indeed not very valuable, but in this era, it is definitely considered a relatively important gift.

That is to say, Director Wang knows the situation of his family, otherwise, he will not accept anything he says.

Even though she promised to take it, she will definitely return it later.

Courtesy and reciprocity are the basis of interpersonal communication. If you leave without returning, that is Pixiu. Relationships with such people will not last long.

Moreover, the return gifts are also very particular. They cannot be completely equal. It is best to give gifts that the Zhou family needs.

Looking at the gifts from Zhou Jimin, the eggs are for her daughter-in-law’s confinement, and the front door is for her old man. As for white flour, every household is short of this food.

The purpose of Zhou Jimin's visit is also very simple, just to implement two things.

The nanny and the bricklayer who helped renovate the Nanjianzi Hutong courtyard.

For the former, Director Wang has not found a suitable person yet. Although her daughter-in-law is very suitable, she has poor health and low milk supply, so it is not feasible.

If it's the latter, Director Wang has already decided it for him.

So Zhou Jimin was ready to visit the man without even bothering to eat.

Director Wang would not let him run away and forced him to sit down.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Jimin had lunch at her house, and then Director Wang led him out.

Director Wang got him a gift in return, her son's textbooks and notes from junior high school to high school.
