Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997: Chapter 998: Another Year

On New Year’s Eve, Cheng Su was awakened by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning, and when she reached out beside her, Qi Taiguo had already gone back to the army, as usual.

Now that he’s been promoted to deputy battalion commander, his role involves assisting with the battalion commander’s duties. Whether it’s New Year’s leave or holiday readiness, he has more responsibilities to handle.

Cheng Su rolled around in the warm bed for a while before getting up to wash up and make breakfast.

In their building, every household’s front door was tightly shut, but all had new red couplets pasted on them. The same was true for Hualing’s family, with an upside-down "Fu" character pasted on their door.

That day, after she and Hualing went shopping, Chen Shouwang put them up because on New Year’s Eve, Hualing was going back to her parents’ home for the celebration.

The whole building seemed like only Cheng Su’s family was left; it was so quiet that it felt a little unusual and somewhat lonely.

"Humans are indeed social animals!" Cheng Su chuckled as she held the pot and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

Even if it was just the two of them for the New Year, she had to make something delicious. Soup, fish, chicken—they were all essential. After all, the New Year is about celebrating with food.

So after breakfast, Cheng Su started preparing. She stewed soup with lotus root and big bones to attract the good omen of "year-long prosperity."

After putting on the soup, she mixed flour with boiling water to make glue, planning to paste the couplets herself.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

When Qi Taiguo returned, he saw Cheng Su standing on a chair, tottering. He quickly walked over and picked her up.

"You’re back? I was pasting couplets!" Cheng Su waved the bowl in her hand, filled with glue.
