LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 25
Chapter 25
Liang Hao didn’t care about the sour words those people said. After all, words couldn’t hurt her, and over the years, she hadn’t learned anything except ignoring others’ words. If she listened to others and got angry, she could have died of anger years ago.
Some people just couldn’t stop talking once they started, and they could go on endlessly according to their own will. They wouldn’t listen to others and would always talk about themselves.
Liang Hao didn’t tolerate these people’s faults at all. She didn’t even bother to acknowledge them. She simply put the canned food into the box, locked it, pulled up her blanket, and prepared to sleep. She had already decided to listen to Su Fei, so she didn’t care about these people.
As for those who had originally planned to freeload for a meal, they didn’t start cooking when they came back. It was so cold, and no one wanted to cook, so they just managed with whatever they had. Now they came back with the smell of meat all over them. Everyone’s mouths started watering. They couldn’t cook, and now they regretted coming out. They should have shamelessly eaten a meal before coming back.
Liang Hao didn’t care about their faults. During the New Year, they couldn’t stay at someone else’s house for dinner, so they could only have dinner with these few people. Normally, they just managed to get by with their meals, and there was no difference, after all, everyone was the same. But now that someone had come out as an exception, they were very angry.
Liang Hao settled down, closed her eyes, and began to snore carelessly. The educated youth, seeing that she didn’t care about them, couldn’t do anything either. So they reluctantly went to sleep.
In a few days, it would be New Year’s Eve, the most festive night of the year. On this night, everyone would be celebrating. For children, no matter what delicious food they ate on New Year’s Eve, adults wouldn’t scold or hit them.
The adults knew that it was the end of the year, so they showed off during these days. Everyone wore new clothes and new shoes. Wealthy families even made new padded jackets and pants, while poorer families could only make a new outer garment and wear their old clothes inside. After all, making an outer garment could be worn all year round.
On New Year’s Eve, after all the men had finished making dumplings and dishes, they prepared to eat. But dumplings had to be cooked by women. It was the only day of the year when men didn’t have to cook.
All the women only made dumplings on New Year’s Eve, but some families didn’t believe in this and let the men do it.
But this rule was very practical in Su Fei’s family. She very consciously asked Ningning to stay in the room and cook dumplings herself.
“Don’t cook the dumplings too long, it’s not good to eat unpalatable dumplings on New Year’s Eve!” Ningning reminded a bit worriedly. He had spent the whole afternoon making dumplings. He didn’t want Su Fei, who was clumsy with her hands, to ruin them. Although Su Fei wanted to help, Ningning didn’t let her make dumplings because she didn’t want to eat bad ones.
“Don’t worry, I can handle this small matter.” Su Fei patted her chest, super confident. She had cooked dumplings before, so this small matter wouldn’t be a problem for her.
“You can set up the other dishes, and I’ll cook the dumplings for you later. You don’t need to go out, I’ll bring them over directly. Let’s have dinner in the living room tonight.” Su Fei said and went to the kitchen.
Ningning had to go and set up all the dishes. There were only the two of them in their family, so they only made enough for the two of them to eat. Besides, Su Fei didn’t have any relatives here, and he didn’t want to go to his relatives who were very dishonest. So basically, the two of them ate their fill, and the whole family wasn’t hungry.
After setting up the tables, chairs, stools, and dishes, Ningning thought for a moment and decided to get another bottle of wine. It was New Year’s Eve, so he could relax a bit and drink a little more.
Seeing that everything was arranged perfectly, Ningning suddenly had the idea of recording this moment. He was afraid that he would forget this warm scene in the future. Well, if he had a phone, Ningning would probably post it on his social media now.
With nothing else to do, Ningning went to the kitchen to see how Su Fei was doing. He could see through the blurry glass from outside. Then he breathed on the glass and wiped it, seeing Su Fei eating several dumplings, he finally confirmed that they were cooked, and started to fish them out.
Seeing Su Fei’s eager appearance, Ningning felt that he should continue to spoil her and hoped that he could always be like this. Then he quietly returned to the guest room and waited.
On the other side, Liang Hao finally waited for the New Year, so she planned to open the canned food and have a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner for herself. But when she opened the cabinet, she found that the few cans she had hidden were completely gone!
