Chapter 2401 (3)

When family members are home, the author often has to do housework, such as mopping the floor, washing vegetables, scrubbing pots and pans, washing dishes, and cleaning the kitchen, which consumes a lot of water. Sometimes, they are not very economical, so the family does use more water.

Now, let's continue talking about some things that happened on Lunar New Year's Eve. During breakfast, my family said they didn't want to buy a cream cake anymore, explaining that they were going to cook ten dishes that afternoon, and make nearly a hundred dumplings and some desserts that evening. But I said no, we'd already given them sixty yuan. We added one hundred yuan to the Valentine's Day meal. We spent sixty yuan on the ancestral worship for my maternal grandparents. Buying cream cakes also cost sixty yuan. I hope that the cream cakes we've had for our Lunar New Year's Eve dinner for so many years will continue this year.

The author enjoys creamy desserts. When she was twenty-six, she dreamt of a cream castle with countless layers of elaborately decorated, elegantly styled cream cakes that were edible and tasted wonderful—she couldn't possibly finish them all. The dream left a deep impression, symbolizing a future improvement in her material life. Since then, her family's material life has gradually improved significantly, and she believes a better future awaits.

That day, after breakfast, my family went out to a large supermarket to buy "Fu" characters for the Year of the Horse, and also to a cake shop to buy cream cakes. We listened to our children's suggestion that we should have high-quality cream desserts for both New Year's Day and the Lunar New Year.

When my family got home, they told me that a female cake maker had made it fresh. It was really nice to have such a fresh cream cake, unlike the usual ones that are made on the same day or the next day and stored in a refrigerated display case.

That evening, we watched the Spring Festival Gala, and then ate at midnight to welcome the New Year. In the afternoon, we had our New Year's Eve dinner, and in the evening, we had homemade dumplings with garlic sprouts, shrimp, and black pork filling, along with desserts, fruits, champagne, and juice. The arrangements were quite good, and we paid special attention to the New Year's Eve dinner.
