Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Yan's heart skipped a half-beat, she stood up straight, her eyes wide open, "Ah, uncle, it's really you!" she rushed into Kevin Ree's arms.

"I said I was going to come back to see you, how can I break my word. Kevin Ree said.

Mom and Dad also came out of the kitchen, and Dad said, "Yeonyan, you're finally back, Kevin has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Yanyan, go and change your shoes first, and I'm not afraid that Kevin will laugh at you. After Yan's mother finished speaking, she went into the kitchen to work again.

Chen Yan looked down, a slipper, a leather boot, she laughed twice, turned around and changed her shoes.

"Lao Kai, you're here just in time for our Chinese New Year, come on, come on, eat a bowl of New Year's dishes first," Dad said as Kevin Ree sat down at the head of the table.

"What do you mean by alternate year's food? I've heard of overnight dinner. Kevin Ree said.

"At noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we have to eat the dishes of the next year, and the word "interval" connects the old year and the new year, expressing people's desire for continuous financial luck. The biggest feature of the next year's dish is that the materials are more miscellaneous, almost all kinds of food prepared at home during the Spring Festival are stewed in one pot, and there are more to do, and there must be a "surplus" head to prepare for the first month of the year, which is called "surplus wealth". Dad explained

Chen Yan changed her shoes and washed her hands and went into the kitchen to help her mother work. Today's meal is almost catching up with the full banquet of the Manchu Han, "Mom, you don't have to cook so many dishes, right?"

"Kevin is your lifesaver, it's not easy for people to come all the way once, we have to treat people well, go quickly, and bring those two dishes to the table." Mom said

Dad was chatting with Kevin Ree, "Kai, what do you do?"

"Oh, I.."

"Oh Dad, he works in the cinema. Chen Yan hurriedly replied that she didn't know much about the parents of foreign movie stars, so Chen Yan decided to hide it from them for fear that they would be scared.

"Oh, Lao Kai, why didn't you bring your wife and children with you?" asked Father Yan again

"Oh, Dad, people aren't married yet, Dad, don't ask, you still don't let people eat. Chen Yan saw that her father's question was endless, and quickly stopped him.

"It's okay Yeon, I love chatting," Kevin Ree says with a smile.

Chen Yan asked, "How long can you stay this time?"

"3 days,"

"So short. Can't you stay a few more days?"

Kevin Ree looked at her and smiled helplessly, and said, "You can also sit down and eat together, don't be busy, you can't eat so many dishes." ”

"Okay, right away. Chen Yan turned around and went to the kitchen to serve food. 3 days, for him, it is really not easy to take out 3 days to accompany himself, and he is content.

After eating, Chen Yan discussed with her father that she would not go to her grandparents' house, okay?

"Why?" asked my father

"Isn't this uncle here, people came to see me, I can't throw them in the hotel, right?"

"How is that possible. Let's take him with us, it just so happens that Lao Kai can also feel Chinese culture and spend the Year of the Chinese. ”

"But," Grandma's Longtan Tiger's Den, she didn't dare take Kevin Ree there.

"Don't do it, that's it. ”

Chen Yan asked her parents to go first, and she stayed at home to clean up the dishes and then took Kevin Ree with her.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, I parked the car next to my father's car and saw that the car of my second uncle and uncle had arrived. She took Kevin Ree to see her grandparents first, and when she entered the door, she saw everyone in the living room except for her mother and sister.

Grandpa was very happy when he saw her enter the door, and said, "Yanyan, is this bringing a boyfriend?"

Before she could speak, Yan's father explained: "Dad, you misunderstood, this is Kevin, the benefactor of our family, this time it is rare to come to China to play, let's take him to experience Chinese culture." ”

Grandpa looked at it again and said, "Oh, it's still a foreigner. ”

Yan's father said again, "Kevin, this is my father," he paused for a moment, because he remembered that Chen Yan told him that foreigners are called by their names, but this is not appropriate to call them by name, it is better to follow the local customs, he continued: "You can call uncle, this is my mother, you can call her aunt." ”

Kevin Ree: "Hello uncle, hello aunt, happy Chinese New Year. ”

Grandpa said, "Kevin, you are very welcome to come to China, you don't have to see outside, it's like you're in your own home, you know?" ”

"Thank you, uncle," Kevin Ree said

Grandma smiled and didn't speak. Yan's father then introduced his younger brother, younger siblings, younger sister, and brother-in-law to Kevin Ree, and then Chen Yan's uncle suddenly said: "Why do I look at Kevin like a big star? Have you seen the movie released not long ago, Kevin's eyes are exactly the same as the male protagonist." "My uncle wasn't sure, after all, who would have thought that such an international superstar would come to his house.

After saying that, everyone stared at Kevin's eyes, but the grandparents didn't know at all, and the second uncle and aunt were not sure, so the aunt said: "It's indeed a bit similar, it's more like it when you cut your hair and shave your beard." ”

Grandma spoke: "I saw foreigners, they all look similar, with high noses and deep eye sockets, and they can't tell the difference between stupid and stupid." Everyone laughed together. Chen Yan didn't explain, Kevin Ree didn't say anything, just laughed along with everyone, Chen Yan knew that he hoped everyone wouldn't recognize him, and he would be more comfortable treating him as an ordinary person.

The aunt who took care of her grandparents came home on vacation, and all the meals were busy by her mother, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was more complicated, and she was busy for a long time at noon, I was really afraid that she would not be able to eat. Chen Yan proposed to invite a chef to cook at home, or go out for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Yan's mother said: "Your grandmother said that she can't eat the taste of the New Year even if it is a delicacies of the mountains and seas, only the dishes she makes herself can taste when she eats them." ”

Chen Yan snorted from her nose and said, "Cut, do it yourself?" you are the only one who cooks every year, serving their whole family like an old mother." ”

Mother immediately scolded her harshly and said: "Yanyan, shut up, you are not allowed to say such things again in the future, what do you call their whole family, as a woman, you must do your duty, and it won't be good if you do more work, you will become a family in the future, you can't be so careful, you have to know how to pay, do you know?"

"Okay, let's pay, Mr. Gu, I'll chop the vegetables, you must give me the opportunity to pay this time. "In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, making dumplings is the most important, Chen Yan rolled up her sleeves, "bang" began to chop vegetables, and my mother prepared coins, dates, and peanuts ready to be wrapped in dumplings, symbolizing wealth, smoothness, luck, and longevity.

Kevin Ree was dragged to play mahjong, and he said, "I can't play, I can't even tell the suit," and his dad really believed it, and sat on the side and patiently taught him. Chen Yan didn't believe it at all, who is Kevin Ree, a play boy with a high IQ and EQ, she hasn't played anything, she hasn't seen anything, so she doesn't worry at all, he will live a very comfortable life in any group.
