Chapter 250 New Year’s Eve Dinner
After Wang Jianting became suspicious, her clever IQ took over again.
“Before my brother became a regular employee, I remember our family wasn’t like this.
At that time, I was under great pressure from studying and it was difficult to make further progress.
Nan Nan's academic performance has always been third in the grade. She was suppressed by the two people in front of her for a long time and it was difficult for her to break through.
Xiaowen was only among the top students in the class, but never ranked first.
Needless to say, Xiao Wu was the last in the class.
And my mother, who has a mediocre education, has a hard time reading blueprints.
However, everything changed after my brother became a regular employee for more than a month.
It has become easier for me, Nan Nan, Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu and others to study. We have made great progress in these tests.
My mother also said that she can understand the slightly more difficult drawings that she couldn’t understand before…”
The more Wang Jianting thought about it, the more she felt that she was right.
"Do you think that's the case?"
"It seems to be true. After our eldest brother became a full-time employee, our studies have improved."
"Sister, what you said makes sense."
"..."
While Wang Jianting was guessing, everyone looked at Wang Jianye who was silently making dumplings.
"Could it be that……"
Wang Jianting narrowed her eyes.
Wang Jianye's heart skipped a beat. "How can you make such a connection? This must be related to me?
When it comes to learning, the master can only lead you to the door, but it is up to you to practice. Only if you are willing to learn and study hard can you make progress. "
Wang Jianwu felt that he had a lot to do with Wang Jianye. "If you hadn't promised to make me something delicious after I passed the exam, I wouldn't have studied so hard.
Therefore, I was able to do so well in the exam, and you deserve one third of the credit."
After hearing this, Wang Jiannan looked at Wang Jianwu and asked, "Our eldest brother's contribution accounts for one third, so how much credit do your second brother and I get for helping you with your homework?"
Wang Jianwu thought about it and said sincerely, "It also accounts for one third."
"Just remember it. When you become successful in the future, don't forget us."
Wang Jiannan said with a smile.
Wang Jianting also thought this was true because Wang Jianye promised to fulfill one of her wishes after she passed the exam.
That's why she was motivated to study so hard and made great progress in the final test.
"Thank you, brother."
Wang Jianting said with a smile.
After Wang Jianye asked why, Wang Jianting explained: "Brother, you set a goal for us and promised to give us the reward we wanted when we achieved it.
This is what made us study harder and make us progress so quickly, so we should thank you."
Wang Jianting, Wang Jianwen and others also nodded.
Wang Jianye felt warm in his heart and felt that everything he had done was worth it.
The dumplings were quickly wrapped and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Jianye began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. While wearing an apron, he gave instructions to his younger brothers and sisters, asking them to complete the tasks he had asked them to do.
Otherwise, it would take him a long time to cook so many dishes by himself, and he would have to wait until seven or eight o'clock to eat.
Wang Jianye asked his younger brothers and sisters to do odd jobs like peeling onions and garlic, washing vegetables, cooking and cleaning pots.
There was no need for so many people, so Wang Jianwu, who was free, lit a stick of incense, took a few firecrackers, and ran outside the courtyard to set them off. Bang!
Snapped! !
The sound of firecrackers was extremely loud; Wang Jianye could hear it clearly in the backyard of this courtyard house with three entrances.
In addition to the firecracker that Wang Jianwu had just set off, there were also continuous sounds of cannons and the sound of fireworks exploding in the distance.
Wang Jianting, Wang Jiannan and the others all looked out at the sky through the window.
"Brother, look at the beautiful fireworks!"
"Wow, look over there!"
It was already dark at this point, and one after another, households began to set off cannons and fireworks.
Those who put these two things are basically older children and some young people.
As for the older middle-aged people, they stayed at home, cooking New Year’s Eve dinner, making dumplings and chatting with their elders.
People were talking outside and chatting inside the house. The whole city became more and more lively after dark.
This is just the beginning. At twelve o'clock in the morning, more people will set off fireworks, and it will be even more lively then.
Although there were no televisions in those days, it was not boring for everyone to keep watch all night.
Sitting together, eating, cracking melon seeds, peeling peanuts, eating candy, tasting cakes, some playing chess, some playing cards, some playing mahjong, and slowly waiting until twelve o'clock at night, this is called Staying Up to see the New Year in.
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, adults will give new year’s money to children. Many children look forward to the New Year all year long.
Often, after receiving the New Year's money, these children will secretly take a look at it, then put it in their pockets or put it under their pillows when they sleep, for fear of losing it.
When I rest my head on it, I think about what delicious food and fun things I can buy with the money tomorrow. Many of them are so excited that they can't sleep all night.
Children like the Chinese New Year because in addition to getting pocket money and eating meat-filled dumplings, there are many delicious foods and firecrackers.
That is, on the next morning, the first day of the New Year, you can put on the new clothes you have been longing for and go from house to house to wish everyone a happy new year.
You can get some candies, peanuts, melon seeds and other rewards from the families you visit during the New Year. If you are lucky, you can even get lucky money from generous families.
Wang Jianye prepared ten dishes, including fish, meat, non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes, poultry and beasts. He tried his best to use the available ingredients to make the dishes very sumptuous.
Each of these dishes is of state banquet quality and naturally tastes delicious.
In addition, these dishes also come with special effects, which is that after eating them, you can increase your lifespan by ten days, increase your IQ by three points, increase your strength by two kilograms, and increase your concentration time by two minutes.
"Jianwen, go call Xiaowu back, it's time for dinner!"
Wang Jianye finished making the last dish, served it out, and gave instructions to Wang Jianwen who was cooking.
After Wang Jianwen responded, he immediately ran outside the courtyard and called back Wang Jianwu who was having fun.
Seeing that Wang Jianwu was about to leave, Yan Jiekuang, who had been standing by him, watching him set off firecrackers, said reluctantly:
"Brother Jianwu, are you coming out to play after dinner?"
"Come and play."
Wang Jianwu replied and followed Wang Jianwen back to his home. The food was ready and he was going to have a delicious meal.
"Wow, brother, you made so many delicious things!"
When Wang Jianwu saw this huge table of dishes, his eyes lit up.
While cooking dumplings, Zhang Lan said with a smile: "Why don't you come back quickly? Come on, wash your hands and eat."
