Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 303 Happy New Year (Happy Lunar New Year's Eve)

"Sis, you made the absolutely right decision to have hot pot for Chinese New Year! Chinese New Year, Minor Snow, and hot pot—these three are a perfect match! Oh, it's almost noon, almost noon! I can't wait to have our New Year's Eve dinner!"

Lin Lanshan ran down into the yard and happily skipped and twirled around, just like the snowflakes that spun around before they could even land on her and then slowly drifted down to the ground.

"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot and get to work in the kitchen. If you want to have New Year's Eve dinner as soon as possible, then we need to hurry up and prepare!"

"I'm here..." she responded loudly, every step and every sound revealing joy.

The two sisters walked side by side toward the kitchen.

Peach and Reunion were already awakened by the noise, and they followed them out of the house, tilting their heads to look at the snowflakes in the yard.

Unlike the last time when the snow was heavy enough to bury half a person,

This snow was light and soft, not so cold, and not so hard to walk on.

When they fall, it feels like countless feathers gently tickling them, a tingling, numbing sensation.

So they like it too!

So they all came down from the yard and, imitating their owner, happily shook their heads and twirled around in the snow.

The fool strolled out of the bedroom slowly, like an old man, and was the last to leave.

It looked at the peaches frolicking in the yard and the symbol of reunion and peace, then looked at the sky.

The weather isn't very good today; there are even ice crystals falling.

Hmm, it's a bit cold~ I won't climb the tree today, I'll find a warm place to continue sleeping!

Looking around, I was pondering whether to go to the room with the furry friend or go back to the room I've been sleeping in for the past few days.

Then they heard Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan chatting and laughing in another room while they were working.

After thinking about it for a moment, he swaggered over and followed...

Hmph, it already discovered that places with people are warm!

Of course, it's not just because of human body temperature.

The main reason is that once the stove in the kitchen is lit with firewood, the fire in the stove combined with the heat from the pot means that even on the coldest days outside, it won't affect the unique warmth and lively atmosphere of this place.

Lin Lanshan hummed a song and swayed her body as she added firewood to the stove, one piece on each side. In the iron pot beside her, white radish stewed with lamb bones was cooking, while in the steamer in the middle, white rice was being steamed.

Lin Chunyi hummed "Congratulations on your fortune, congratulations on your wonderful life" as she swiftly chopped the fruit on the cutting board and arranged it on a plate.

Watermelon, winter jujubes, pears, Japanese raisin tree fruits, strawberries, tangerines, dog jujubes, plus a few frozen pears that haven't quite frozen yet...

Lin Lanshan lit the fire on the stove and craned her neck to look. "Wow, sis, you're so generous today! You've taken out all the strawberries you've been saving up for so long?"

It looks like it weighs about a pound!

“Of course! I’ve been saving this for so long, it’s all for this New Year’s Day. I’ve taken it all out, not even a single strawberry stem is left. Now it’s your turn.” She gestured to her sister to put her own treasured items on the cutting board as well.

Although it looks like she took out a lot, she actually still had seven or eight strawberries left in her space, hahaha~

This is called: the younger sister tries to understand her, and the younger sister tries to outsmart her.

"..." Lin Lanshan wrinkled her nose and silently thought to herself: New Year, New Year, today is New Year, this is how it should be!

Then, gritting her teeth, she took out the peaches she hadn't been able to eat much of in the past few months, saying, "Take them! Here, take them all."

Immediately afterwards, one, two... a whole four green and red peaches appeared out of thin air on the cutting board!

"Oh dear~ Now I'm out of all my stash. If I want to eat it again, I'll have to wait another six months." She clutched her heart with one hand and bit her index finger with the other, feeling sorry for herself.

"Wow, it seems my sister really showed some generosity today." Lin Chunyi nodded in satisfaction and gave her a thumbs up.

"Hmph, of course, I've always been the most generous person!" She raised her eyes haughtily.

Lin Chunyi was afraid that she would change her mind later, so she quickly picked up the peaches and, without even peeling them, made three or four cuts on each peach and twisted them a few times.

The peach chunks were then placed into the fruit platter.

Lin Lanshan turned her head, her sad expression immediately changing. She covered her mouth and chuckled: "Just kidding, take them all out! Of course not, there are still two and a half left in the space, didn't expect that, did you!"

It seems the two sisters will continue to scheme and plot for a few bites of food in the new year.

The idiot who swaggered into the kitchen silently crouched in the corner watching them, completely baffled as to what they were secretly laughing about...

At 9:00 AM, the two prepared all the ingredients for hot pot and barbecue, set them on the table, and waited to start cooking and eat.

They wanted to eat hot pot, but they couldn't miss out on barbecue either.

After all, the lettuce was already fully grown, just waiting to be wrapped around the grilled meat and eaten by them!

In the center of the large round table in the main room, a hot pot with bubbling red oil sat. Around the hot pot were rows of plates filled with various meats and vegetables skewered for grilling and hot pot.

Two plates were placed on the edge of the table, containing various diced fruits that served three purposes: to cut through the richness, to fill the table, and to add color.

Right next to the table was the barbecue grill, which was supported by a wooden box and a cloth.

The charcoal under the barbecue grill was already lit, and the snowflakes and wind blowing in from outside made a crackling sound as they landed on it.

The sound reminded Lin Chunyi, who was focused on adjusting the positions of the plates and striving for an exquisite and beautiful table setting, of something.

"Lanshan, where are your firecrackers? Hurry up and bring them out! The food is all ready, we're about to eat."

"Firecrackers?" Lin Lanshan reached out her black hand, just about to steal a bite of fruit.

Hearing this, he quietly withdrew his hand and said, "Oh, right! I almost forgot. Wait a moment, I'll go get something, I'll be right back!"

As Lin Chunyi watched her sister's departing figure, her doubts grew stronger.

The woodshed? What was she doing at the woodshed? I didn't see her carrying anything when she came back yesterday.

It's hard to ignore that dark face, but I've never heard of any coal mines in these mountains. It looks like he went to dig for coal and came back.

Wow, could they actually pull off fireworks and bombs?

Lin Chunyi stood on tiptoe, craning her neck to look curiously at the woodshed.

Unfortunately, I didn't see anything, just a back view, bent over with his butt sticking out, picking something up.

Forget it, let's just wait. We'll know soon enough, so a little more time won't make a difference!

So he sat back down in his chair with composure, but even with his excellent eyesight, he couldn't help but look towards the door.

"Sis, come out quick! I'm about to set off firecrackers!"

Lin Chunyi was getting impatient when she heard the sound, she jumped up and rushed out the door.

She asked in surprise, "What firecrackers? Let me see! You actually brought firecrackers... Uh, firewood?"

Her surprised face turned into a head full of question marks.
