Chapter 358: Take a family photo and set off firecrackers
"It looks good!" Duoduo leaned over and looked at the photo.
Not only do her parents look particularly good in the photos, but she herself looks very cute too, like a little princess in a fairy tale world.
"If it looks good, can you take a few more pictures?" Duran looked at Sister Narcissus in front of him with a smile and asked politely.
"Of course." Sister Narcissus was worried at first that her photos wouldn't look good, and that her family wouldn't like the photos she took. But after getting everyone's likes and affirmation, Sister Narcissus felt more confident. She picked up the camera and continued taking photos for everyone.
This time, Shen Li made an expression as if she was being held in Lu Jingchuan's arms, with a gentle smile.
Sister Narcissus first took a group photo of the family, then took separate photos of Dulan, Duoduo and Minghui, took a separate photo of Dulan holding little Anan, and took a separate photo of Shen Li and Lu Jingchuan holding little Anan.
In the blink of an eye, I took more than twenty photos.
"Thank you." Duran liked the photos more and more as he looked at them. "I can print out this photo and hang it on the wall at home. The more I look at it, the more I like it."
"Sister Narcissus, this is the ingredient packet of my uncle's beauty and skin care sweet soup." Shen Li got up and went to the kitchen, took out a packet and handed it to Sister Narcissus, "When you take it home, put it in boiling water and cook it. You can also add some honey or rock sugar. It will taste better. There are several small bags in this big bag, enough for you to drink for a month."
"How can I do this..." Narcissus's sister-in-law declined, "You have given me a lot of things, how can I take your things!"
"We are all neighbors, and we are good friends. We see each other every day. There is nothing to be embarrassed about." Shen Li insisted on handing the package to her, "Hurry up and take it. If you don't take it, I will be embarrassed. I will ask you to come over to take a family photo for our family on New Year's Eve."
"It's just a small favor, not a big deal." Narcissus said with a smile, and finally accepted it. "I'll take the package. You guys go about your business, I won't bother you."
Today is New Year's Eve, and Sister Narcissus felt embarrassed to stay here any longer and disturb them, so she got up and left.
……
Duran and Shen Li started making dumplings.
Shen Li prepared two fillings, one with pork, vermicelli and black fungus, and the other with beef.
After the filling is prepared, the dumpling filling and dumpling skins are placed on a large table, and the family sits around together to start making dumplings.
With the experience from last time, Duoduo and Minghui also knew how to make it, and the two little guys also came over to help.
Little An An was placed on the bed. He whined and stared at the big guys busying themselves with his short legs.
"It would be nice if your dad was here." Duran was wrapping dumplings, missing his old partner, "Our family would be truly reunited then."
"Mom, after the Chinese New Year, I can take a vacation next year. Then we can go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year and reunite as a family." Lu Jingchuan was rolling dough on the side.
Du Lan, Shen Li and the two children were making the dumplings. Lu Jingchuan's hands were a bit clumsy and the dumplings he made looked ugly, so Lu Jingchuan was responsible for rolling out the dough.
"Yeah. I miss him a little after not seeing him for such a long time." Duran said with a smile.
She is a little older than Lu Jingchuan's father, so she retired early. Men retire later than women, so it will take Lu Jingchuan's father nearly five years to retire.
"Mom, thank you for your hard work in taking care of the children and this family during this period." Shen Li looked at Duran gratefully.
"Why is it so hard? It's all for this family. If I don't take care of my own grandchildren, who will?" Duran smiled. "By taking care of the children, I can also reduce your burden. When you get older, everything you have in this life is to be passed on to your descendants."
Shen Li is very grateful that she has met such a well-educated and kind mother-in-law.
Since Duran came, she has taken good care of the house from top to bottom.
She is responsible for washing the clothes of the whole family in the washing machine. Sometimes when the children's clothes are too dirty, she will wash them by hand first and then wash them in the washing machine.
After washing and drying, they were taken back to their respective bedrooms and folded neatly.
Shen Li felt a little guilty about letting a female scientist with a high professional title become a housewife.
The whole family was making dumplings, and in one afternoon, all the fillings in the two stainless steel bowls were wrapped.
It would take the whole family half a month to eat all these dumplings.
Duran put some of the dumplings in the refrigerator to freeze, and put the rest in a big pot to cook.
The whole family watched TV happily.
On New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers continued in the courtyard.
The crackling sound continued in the sky, deafening.
Shen Li was worried that Xiao An An would be scared when she heard the sound of firecrackers, so she took out a pair of earplugs from the space and put them on Xiao An An's ears.
Little An An's big black grape-like eyes opened wide in confusion, and her soft little face showed a bewildered look.
"Jingchuan, let's go set off firecrackers too." Shen Li said with a smile.
This is the first year of her rebirth.
During this year, she got married to Lu Jingchuan and gave birth to a chubby son for him.
She has her own career and many good friends.
Every day is warm, happy and romantic.
Shen Li was very grateful to God for giving her a chance to start over.
The two of them came to the small courtyard. Duoduo was afraid of firecrackers, so she hid in the house and poked her round little head out to look outside.
Lu Minghui stood not far away and watched his parents set off firecrackers.
The firecrackers at home are a big string of red ones with a long gray string in the middle that extends to the tail end of the firecracker.
As long as this string is lit, a string of firecrackers will crackle.
Lu Jingchuan placed a bunch of bright red firecrackers on the ground. He picked up a lighter and shone it along the tail end of the firecrackers.
Soon, orange-red flames rose up and ignited the fuse.
"Jingchuan, come here quickly." Shen Li smiled.
A tall and slender man ran towards this side quickly.
The man stretched out his arms, put his arms around Shen Li, and held the petite woman tightly in his arms.
Then, as the fuse burned, crackling firecrackers exploded and the sound of firecrackers continued to ring.
Lu Minghui walked towards Shen Li and Lu Jingchuan, a soft and happy smile appearing on his wheat-colored face.
After a while, the firecrackers were burned out.
"Duoduo, do you want to play with fairy wands?" Shen Li looked at the timid little Duoduo who was hiding in the house not far away and watching this scene.
Although Duoduo was afraid, there was desire in her big black and white eyes.
Afraid, but want to play.
