Just as Gao Jianxin and his wife had said, the Xiao Family’s vegetarian dishes were more popular than the meat dishes. As soon as their uncles tasted them, they couldn’t stop eating. Even the usually well-mannered people didn’t bother to be polite, picking up their chopsticks and grabbing food straight from the plates.

“Why are these vegetables so delicious? They’re so fragrant, and each dish has its own unique flavor.”

“Yes, when the dishes enter your mouth, you can immediately feel how extraordinary they are. The taste is simply unparalleled.”

“Are these really homegrown vegetables? In the past, the delicious taste of the food relied on the Auntie’s cooking skills. Now the taste is not only due to her cooking skills but mainly the original taste of the vegetables themselves.”

Gao Yanxin kept raving while eating, “You guys don’t know, but these vegetables are all grown by Cousin herself. During the summer vacation, she planted five points of land, and I stayed for one month, eating these vegetables every day and never getting tired of them. Now, when I eat them again, ah, it’s truly unforgettable.”

Everyone, ‘ .

The other cousins listened enviously, “Ah, you get to eat them every day.”

Then they complained, “The vegetables at the Auntie’s house are so delicious. Why didn’t you tell us cousins and let us try them too? Had I known this, I would have come over during summer vacation.”

Gao Yanxin looked puzzled, “Ah, didn’t I call to tell you guys?”

Ji Haiyang looked slightly resentful, “No, you didn’t. I doubt you wanted to keep it all to yourself.”

He then turned to Xiao Jinli, “Cousin, how come you didn’t call to tell us about your homegrown vegetables? We would have come to show our support. Now Yan Xin is the one benefiting.”

Xiao Jinli looked a bit innocent, “I… how was I supposed to tell you? By saying ‘I’ve grown vegetables myself, dear cousins come and have a taste, and support me?”’

At this point, the maternal grandmother spoke, “I remember telling you all. I said that your cousin built a greenhouse to grow many vegetables. I also bragged that the vegetables she grew were very tasty. But you all thought I was exaggerating, so none of you believed me.”

The cousins, ‘ .

It was true that their Grandma had said that, but they thought she was biased and overly praising their cousin’s vegetable farming.

The maternal grandfather couldn’t help but chide, “Hehe, you don’t even trust your own grandmother, how can you be so reasonable?”

The cousins, ‘ . Fine, they were wrong.

When they leave this time, they will definitely bring back more vegetables with them. Hmph.

“Come, let’s toast!” Xiao Wanshan stood up and said, “On this New Year’s Eve, let’s wish our parents good health and safety!”

“Come, let’s toast to our grandparents (parents) (maternal grandpa and grandma) good health, safety, and a happy New Year’s Eve! Cheers!”

Those who could drink alcohol poured a glass, and those who couldn’t drink substituted with soft drinks.

Afterward, everyone enjoyed the meal.

After dinner, the adults collaborated to clean up the dining table, bowls, and chopsticks, and then started watching the annual Spring Festival Gala.

But on the first day of the new lunar year, you eat dumplings.

The dumpling fillings had already been prepared in the afternoon – chives, scallions, radish, and cabbage fillings, all vegetarian.
