Chapter 645

Because "dust" and "chen" are homophonic, it has the meaning of "letting go of the old and welcoming the new".Of course, the ancient furniture has complex shapes, and firewood is used to boil water and cook rice, so there is still a lot of dust in the house. One can imagine how lively the scene is when every household is cleaning the house.

The New Year's Eve dinner has eighteen dishes, almost filling the entire table, and the chef cooks them, but most of them are cooked by the old lady's two daughters-in-law.

The old lady is sitting in the main seat. She is now a winner in life, with a full house of children and grandchildren. Who would have thought that half a year ago, their Lu family was so poor that it was almost impossible to get rid of it?

But when her eyes fell on Lu Jiu, she became more worried. Her daughter was eighteen years old, but she was still single. No matter how much money she had, she couldn't get back a man who knows what's cold and what's hot.

"Our Lu family relies on Jiu'er to be able to live in a new house and wear new clothes. I hope you will have a bright future. Don't forget your little sister and old aunt. Without Jiu'er, you would not be where you are now!"

Before the meal, the old lady started to brainwash her children and grandchildren, but everyone except Lu Jiu showed their loyalty, which was very embarrassing.
