Chapter 1515: Asking for Advice
As Xue Qiansheng and Xue Xingran’s father, Xue Sifu was busier than them. He was either carrying Xue Qiansheng or Xue Xingran. Xue Qiansheng and Xue Xingran were having a lot of fun.
Xue Shi and the others were also very happy fooling around.
Then, everyone washed up and changed into new clothes, waiting for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
When the sky was about to turn dark, the New Year’s Eve dinner was almost going to be ready. They had to set off firecrackers to commence the New Year’s Eve dinner. Xue Shi rushed to take out another big firecracker and placed it in the courtyard before lighting it up.
“Ahhh, it’s time for New Year’s Eve dinner! It’s time for New Year’s Eve dinner!” The children jumped and shouted.
Xue Wufu was also jumping and shouting inside with joy.
The firecrackers were big enough to cause a scene. While the crackling sounds were still echoing, the adults called the children into the central room and began to serve dinner.
There were so many people in the house now, and two tables were no longer enough to hold everyone. Xue Yifu had specially made a large round table that could be folded over the table so that everyone could sit down without squeezing.
Moreover, there was a rotating table on the round table. This rotating table was the table where the dishes were placed. If the table rotated, the dishes could be moved in front of him. It was very convenient to reach out and grab them.
In the apocalypse, there were many such tables available. However, this table was not drawn by Xue Yan. Jiang Yue had never told her brother about this table. It was completely thought of by Yifu.
Now, no matter what he made, he didn’t need anyone to help him draw or give him pointers. He could figure out what he wanted to do by himself and he could make it from scratch. The things he made became better and better, and more and more ingenious. His reputation in this area had spread to other places. Sometimes, people from the Ministry of Works would even come to ask him for advice.
The chair that came with this table was also specially made by him. The style matched this table very well.
The dishes were placed on the rotating table.
There was wine and fruit juice.
There were fruits at home all year round, so they would make their own juice and drink it.
The children weren’t given any alcohol, so they only drank juice and soup.
There were several types of soup on the table, and there was also a hot pot. There was no smoke in it, and there was also a cauldron-shaped heater beside the table. The stove was also burning charcoal, and the entire hall was warm.
Those who were afraid of the cold could hold a small hand warmer in their hands, so they could keep themselves warm.
Jiang Yue wasn’t carrying a small hand warmer at first. She wasn’t cold, but when she saw that Xue Yan had given her one, she took it and placed it on her lap. She held it in one hand and held a pair of chopsticks in the other as she ate.
The small bowl in front of her was filled with the food that Xue Yan had picked for her.
They were all her favorite dishes.
Moreover, he didn’t give her any food that was unsuitable for pregnant women.
Shen Yuxuan had told her what pregnant women should pay attention to, what doctors in the post-apocalyptic world had told her, and what her sister-in-law had told her about pregnant women. Xue Yan had listened to them all and etched them into his mind. He also read the books that the nurse had given them when they were in the apocalypse. With his photographic memory, he could remember everything after reading it once.
Xue Yan didn’t think much of it at this moment. He only picked up a small bowl of food for Jiang Yue and then fished out two fish balls from the hotpot. He first tasted one himself to check if it was fishy. Then he asked Jiang Yue beside him, “This fish ball doesn’t smell fishy either. Do you want it?”
