On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 526 (End of Main Text)

Jiang Tang dozed off for a while on the rocking chair in the yard.

He Lihua came in from outside carrying some things. Jiang Tang heard the sound and immediately sat up to help.

"No need, no need, the things aren't heavy, Mom can carry them herself."

He Lihua stopped her daughter-in-law from standing up and told her to rest.

As a mother-in-law, she truly loves her daughter-in-law dearly.

They won't even let me stand up to get something; such favoritism is unbelievable.

Jiang Tang still stood up to help.

Her mother loved her, and she loved her mother in return.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished packing the New Year's goods that He Lihua had bought, Lu Changzheng also returned from outside.

He was carrying two large bags, which contained fireworks he had bought for his three children and wife.

In the kitchen, He Lihua was talking to Jiang Tang.

"We'll have our family reunion dinner at a restaurant tomorrow at noon, and then eat at home in the evening. We'll just prepare some cooked food for the ancestral worship."

"it is good."

Jiang Tang has been married to Lu Changzheng for so many years, but she has cooked very few meals.

She can't even cook everyday dishes very well, let alone prepare New Year's Eve dinner.

She could only assist from the sidelines.

Fortunately, she was very strong.

She was very good at mincing meat; she was very strong. With a knife in hand, she quickly minced a piece of meat weighing about five pounds, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.

This is what He Lihua is going to use to fry lion's head meatballs.

They don't eat this dish much here; He Lihua learned it from Liu Qihong.

Today I want to try making braised lion's head meatballs and see if I can do it well.

This dish is very suitable for ancestral worship.

“Life was tough before, and Xi Xi’s grandparents never had anything good to eat. Let’s cook some delicious food today so they can have a taste.”

"Now that life is better, we are all enjoying the good life, so we should let them enjoy it too."

He Lihua's words were merely a form of emotional comfort.

How could someone who has passed away possibly eat food meant for the living? It's merely a way for living relatives to express their longing for their loved ones.

He Lihua talked to Jiang Tang while she worked.

Jiang Tang nodded in agreement with a faint smile on her face.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared a lot of food.

Just as they were getting ready, He Liye returned with his six children.

To make it easier to take the children out to play, he borrowed a car and drove himself, taking all six children to visit all the fun places in the city.

When the triplets returned, they were carrying large and small bags.

He Liye bought them all.

"Eat here before you go back."

He Lihua saw her younger brother and spoke to him.

He Liye originally planned to go home to have dinner with his daughter and son-in-law, but his three grandsons all wanted to stay here and play with the triplets.

He couldn't very well force himself to go home.

"it is good."

"Hot pot for dinner?"

Lu Changzheng asked from the side.

The children loved hot pot, and they cheered when they heard they could have it for dinner.

"Okay!"

"Then I'll go buy some ingredients for hot pot."

Lu Changzheng said this and went out the door.

He went out alone, without needing to bring anyone else, and soon returned with mutton, beef, fish, shrimp, and the like.

These are all foods that kids like to eat.

Everyone, young and old, worked together to prepare the food, and it was done in no time.

On the round table in the main room, steam rose from a hot pot with two broths, one side with a fragrant and rich bone broth, and the other side with bubbling chili peppers, the red broth looking incredibly appetizing.

My family likes spicy food, so we eat spicy food.

If you don't like certain foods, then have bone broth.

The yin-yang pot for hot pot is so convenient; you can just pick up whatever you want to eat with chopsticks and cook it. Of course, hot pot wouldn't be complete without soda, and there were over a dozen bottles of the ever-popular Arctic Ocean soda on the table.

Today we ate and drank to our hearts' content.

After a satisfying meal, we'll have another family reunion dinner tomorrow morning.

This year's family New Year's Eve dinner was booked by He Yucheng and He Yuxian. They booked a private room at the largest and best restaurant in their city.

In this hotel, which is said to have hosted foreign guests, there is a large table in a private room that can seat thirty-two people.

The whole family sat down around the round table, and they still needed to add a few more chairs.

This year is a true year of family reunion.

Not only He Yucheng, but He Yuxian also returned with his fiancée, and even his two older brothers who worked in classified units returned with their wives and children.

People of all ages sat around a round table, and the restaurant staff served the pre-ordered New Year's Eve dinner in an orderly manner.

Seafood is an indispensable part of the New Year's Eve dinner in coastal cities in the south.

Several king crabs, each weighing several pounds, were served at once; lobsters weighing one or two pounds were also served one per person; and there were all kinds of seafood, chicken, duck, pork, beef, lamb...

The large round table was filled to the brim.

At the patriarch He Jianguo's shout, the children lined up, and the elders began distributing red envelopes.

In addition to the children receiving red envelopes, young women also received red envelopes.

Nobody really cares how much money is in the red envelopes.

This is just a general idea.

After the red envelopes were given out and the dishes were served, we could sit down and eat.

It was He Jianguo, the patriarch, who spoke first as always.

He Jianguo was very happy that his family returned home in full force this year.

Apart from He Liye, who has been divorced for many years, everyone else present was in a couple. He Jianguo's youngest son, who was the most worrying to him, and his second son's wife, Axian, were also engaged.

He could say he has no regrets.

"Come, let's raise our glasses and celebrate our reunion."

After He Jianguo finished speaking to encourage everyone, he invited everyone, young and old, to raise their glasses and celebrate the festival together.

The men drink alcohol, the women drink red wine, and the children drink soda.

Each has their own wine, just as each has their own path.

Whether you're in politics or business, at the family reunion table, you're always one family.

After a lively family reunion dinner, the eldest uncle, second uncle, and youngest uncle were all a little tipsy. The younger ones, like Lu Changzheng, however, were more restrained, each only having a glass or two to savor the taste of the alcohol.

After dropping the person off at home, Jiang Tang and the others returned to their own courtyard.

After resting at home for a while, He Lihua took the triplets and prepared the things for the ancestral worship.

After getting everything ready, the family went to the cemetery to burn paper money and pay respects to Mr. Lu, as well as his long-deceased grandparents.

The family stayed on the mountain for about an hour.

By the time we descended the mountain, it was already getting dark.

The triplets ran ahead, holding their grandmother's hand, eager to hurry back to set off firecrackers.

Jiang Tang and Lu Changzheng walked at the very back.

The two held hands, their fingers intertwined.

Looking at her children, who were about the same height as her grandmother, Jiang Tang had a faint smile on her face.

Walk slowly down the path, talking to the people around you as you go.

“It feels like we just got married yesterday, but our child is already so big, and I’m getting old.”

For once, Jiang Tang began to reflect on her age.

She's actually only thirty-one years old.

She had never experienced age anxiety before, but after turning thirty, she began to feel that she was getting old.

Lu Changzheng stopped with a smile, turned to look at his wife beside him, and said, "In my eyes, my Tangtang will always be eighteen years old."

"You can't say things you shouldn't."

Jiang Tang pouted, a little upset, "I don't want to stay eighteen forever. I want to grow old naturally like you, so we can stay together for a long time."

"it is good!"

Lu Changzheng felt a pang of tenderness. He looked down at the girl in front of him, cupped her lips in his hands, and kissed her.

"We'll grow old together, we'll stay together forever."

As the man finished speaking, fireworks lit up the night sky over the city.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, and adults and children alike joyfully bid farewell to the last day of 86!
Welcome to the upcoming 87!
　Alright, thank you all for your continued support! That concludes the main content! I'll be writing a side story of tens of thousands of words about triplets, and I hope those of you who enjoy it will continue to support me!
