Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival meal was sure to be a highlight, since they weren’t going back to their hometown, their small family home definitely deserved a grand feast for the holiday. Plus, with Ning Ge being in Qing City, it wouldn’t do just to let him go to a restaurant and get by with a meal alone.

Cheng Su carried her grocery basket to the agricultural market. On the way back from her in-laws, she had also brought home a live chicken, which she was still keeping. She thought that today would be the day to slaughter it, to spare her the continuous care it required.

During the New Year’s celebrations, they’d had chicken stewed with mushrooms, or sometimes stir-fried, to the point of growing tired of it. Cheng Su planned to make something different, soy sauce chicken.

She headed to the ingredient shop to buy the necessary items, weighed a live fish, and bought a handful of chilis and green peppers.

The Lantern Festival wouldn’t be complete without tangyuan, so Cheng Su purchased peanuts, sesame seeds, and flour, planning to make her own after dinner. Considering that Chunhua was still in confinement and Guihua might be too fatigued from her morning sickness to bother cooking, she decided to buy extra—making them together would be more fun.

Having made her way around the market, her grocery basket was filled to the brim and heavy to carry.

She placed the basket on the front basket of her bicycle and pedaled back to the compound.

The compound appeared quieter than usual, with the clothes-drying square stark and hardly any clothes hanging on the poles.

Perhaps it was because the new year had not yet passed, and many families had not returned, or some had left—like He Xing, who indeed had not come back.

Cheng Su suddenly remembered a saying, "There are people who will stay in your life for a while, teach you something, and then leave, becoming a memory."

Wasn’t that exactly the case? People come and go, in all shapes and forms, they arrive, they depart, disappearing into the obscurities of the world.

Carrying her grocery basket home, Cheng Su stored everything in its place. She picked up the phone to instruct the restaurant and factory about work, deciding not to go there herself.
