Zhou Suhua took Little Ni Yun from Ni Cuihua’s arms, “What a cute child she is, what’s her name?”
“Her name is Ni Yun, Yun as in cloud,” Ni Cuihua said.
“Yunyun, little Yunyun. Not only does little Yunyun have a pretty name, but she’s also very beautiful,” Zhou Suhua, who was very fond of Little Ni Yun, said with her eyes full of affectionate smiles. “Oh yes, we also brought a welcome gift for little Yunyun. Meifeng, quickly bring out the gift.”
Wang Meifeng immediately took out a red gift box from her bag.
In the box were a longevity lock and two gold bracelets.
“These gold jewelry must cost at least a thousand yuan,” said Ni Cuihua nervously, “Grandma Guobao, you really don’t need to be so polite, we can’t accept such a big gift!”
“You should accept!” Zhou Suhua smiled, “It’s not something valuable, Ni Yang’s mom. Ni Yang is a living Bodhisattva to our entire family. You must not refuse! Look how pretty our little Yunyun looks wearing these!”
Little Ni Yun, with her fair and plump appearance, was extremely likable. Now, with the gold bracelets and the longevity lock, she looked like a delightful Fuwa doll that had stepped out of a New Year’s painting.
The gold bracelet came with a small bell. Whenever Little Ni Yun moved, the bell would tinkle, producing a pleasant sound that lifted everyone’s spirits.
While Ni Cuihua was entertaining the guests in the living room, Ni Yang went into the kitchen to cook.
It was past ten now. By the time she finished cooking, it would be almost noon, just in time for lunch.
She planned to cook Sour Fish, Braised Pork Belly, spicy fried river snails, and a Roasted Chicken as the main courses.
As for the side dishes, she would make black fungus with milk cabbage, and stir-fried cabbage with vermicelli.
The vermicelli was a gift from Xiaohua. It was homemade and not only healthy and free of pollution, but also had a great texture.
She would also prepare a cold mixed liangpi as a chilled dish.
Ni Yang looked and found a chunk of tofu left over from what Tie Dan’s mother had given her the day before. She decided to make Shrimp and Tofu Soup with it.
Meat and vegetables are paired well, with fish, meat, and chicken all included. Although there are only seven dishes and one soup, it is an incredibly sumptuous meal for the average person during this era.
Once the menu was finalized, Ni Yang started the bread oven and then went to slaughter the big rooster they had bought the day before.
Although Ni Yang looked fair and pretty as a girl, she was very decisive when it came to slaughtering the chicken.
With one hand holding the chicken and the other holding the kitchen knife, the scene was somewhat bloody, but it gave a sense of tranquility.
