章 583: Chapter 583: Sorry for making you wait so long

"Stir-frying is not possible now, so all the vegetables I bought can be cooked in hot pot," Ye Xi said. "Eating hot pot during the New Year is festive and warm."

"Mhm," Qiao Zhiyi nodded, "Sounds good. Zhiyun and I were actually planning to go out for hot pot anyway."

The three of them washed the vegetables quickly, and Qiao Zhiyun had already started the hot pot. The four of them sat down around it, and Ye Xi grabbed some alcohol to pour for everyone.

"We have to drink a little for today's atmosphere," Ye Xi said as she poured a drink for her mother, "Mom, you better not drink."

Her mother shook her head, "Pour me a little, for the occasion."

Seeing this, Ye Xi still poured her a very small amount just to be polite.

"Happy New Year!" Ye Xi stood up and raised her glass.

Qiao Zhiyi and Qiao Zhiyun both stood up, "Happy New Year!"

Outside, someone set off fireworks and the high-rise buildings were filled with "Happy New Year" on their screens.
