Chapter 408 - 407 Reconciliation
On New Year’s Eve, after cleaning the house and putting up Spring Festival couplets, the Shen Mingzhu family took their ingredients and drove to Hot Spring Villa in a rented van.
After finding out that Hot Spring Villa was still open on New Year’s Eve, Shen Mingzhu had booked a suite with a private yard, planning to spend a different kind of New Year’s Eve there.
Although it was New Year’s Eve, there were still quite a few tourists in the villa.
But most of them just came for the hot springs before heading home for the New Year’s Eve dinner. There were hardly any like Shen Mingzhu who stayed in the villa for New Year’s Eve.
When they arrived at the resort just after lunchtime, Shen Mingzhu quickly boiled a pot of noodles, topped with fried sauce prepared at home, to satisfy their hunger.
Well fed and rested, they started to take a hot spring bath.
Guoguo was young with delicate skin; worried about scalds or drowning, Shen Mingzhu specifically prepared a wooden basin, filling it mostly with hot spring water, for Guoguo to play in.
Guoguo, experiencing hot springs for the first time, was especially happy, and her laughter never stopped.
After the hot springs, Shen Mingzhu brewed some fruit tea to help everyone rehydrate, while Pei Yang got the barbecue grill going, ready to grill some meat shortly.
Shen Mingzhu had prepared the ingredients beforehand. Following the Fengcheng tradition for New Year’s Eve dinner, there was chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, and lamb—everything that should be there.
