Chapter 331: Chinese New Year's Eve
The lively end of the Spring Festival Gala had passed midnight and arrived on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lin Xinuan yawned in the nanny car, full of tiredness.
The nanny car didn't go long before it stopped halfway, the door was opened, and Lin Xinuan saw that it was Yan Xiao who got into the car.
"Why are you here so late?" Lin Xinuan blinked vigorously and looked at Yan Xiao and said.
"Pick you up from work. Yan Xiao said.
Lin Xinuan expressed disbelief.
"I was also at the scene just now, didn't you notice?" Yan Xiao asked with a smile on his lips.
Lin Xinuan shook his head, whoever performs on stage will always stare at the audience under the stage to watch, but Yan Xiao's position is definitely not obvious, maybe he came secretly, otherwise it would be strange not to sit in the middle C position as his identity.
"Why did you suddenly want to come to the Spring Festival Gala, shouldn't you not like this kind of occasion?" Lin Xinuan felt that people like Yan Xiao should not have any interest in this kind of family celebration.
"Why can't I come here if you're here?" Yan Xiao asked.
Lin Xinuan curled the corners of her lips and suddenly laughed, and then took the initiative to lean in the direction of Yan Xiao.
"Let's celebrate the New Year together tonight. The corners of Yan Xiao's lips rose and said to Lin Xinuan.
"But I've promised to be with Sister Lily and Taro Yuan. Lin Xinuan said.
Yan Xiao asked with a dark face: "What, it's very difficult to add me to one?"
"Not really. Lin Xinuan shook her head.
However, Lao Wu's own family also wants to celebrate the New Year, but he will prepare some ingredients for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner earlier, and when they arrive at night, they can simply process and eat.
"However, don't you have to go back to the old mansion to accompany the old man for Chinese New Year's Eve?" Lin Xinuan asked.
According to common sense, such a festival still has to be spent with the elders, but she is just a special case.
"If I go to the old house to eat this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year, maybe some people will not be able to swallow, so I still don't bother." Yan Xiao said.
The old man gradually became powerless, and he also knew that Yan Ji and his second uncle were really not the material for the management company, and there were a lot of problems in the Yan family near the end of the year, and the people who were side to the Yan family also took a lot of rights, plus some shares that the old man gave him before, and now the rights of Yan Ji's father and son have been greatly suppressed.
Now Yan Ji's father and son saw him like a fighting, and they couldn't wait to rush up and swallow him alive.
I deliberately stumbled him last time, and he returned it again, and now he may still be injured, and it was lively to meet.
"According to Xiao Ye, shouldn't your domineering personality be something that won't make them feel good even if they can't swallow it?" Lin Xinuan said jokingly.
"This big New Year and make them happy, I found someone who wants to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with her more." Yan Xiao said.
He had been like this for all these years, but this year he was not interested.
"Let's go to Qingyun Manor for the New Year, everyone is ready over there. ”
"Eh, Xiao Ye, although I promised you to stay and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us, but you don't want to directly get an inch, I promised to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with you, a suitor, is already breaking the rules." Lin Xinuan refused.
If you go directly to Qingyun Manor to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, this feeling is completely different.
"Now that this rule has been broken, why do you have to keep the slightest bit of it? You are not a conformist and you are pretending to be here. In fact, Yan Xiao just mentioned it casually, he knew that Lin Xinuan would not agree, just to pave the way for his later words.
"The reason why rules are rules is that they need to be followed. ”
Yan Xiao smiled and didn't speak.
Lin Xinuan woke up naturally from sleep, and when he woke up, he smelled the aroma wafting in the air, Lao Wu was frying some meatballs with taro balls, which could be eaten directly or in the hot pot It was very convenient, Yan Xiao brought a lot of things with the maid as if he was entering and leaving his own door.
"You, what are you doing?" Lin Xinuan asked in a daze as she woke up in her pajamas.
"Since you are here, of course, you can't come empty-handed. Yan Xiao instructed the people to move the fruits to the open space on the side of the restaurant, put some medicinal herbs on the coffee table, and put some half-finished ingredients and fresh ingredients into the refrigerator.
"What are you doing with all this? "It doesn't matter if the medicinal herbs are piled up, but why are those ingredients piled up in the refrigerator, and now the supermarket will be open for the New Year, which is convenient.
"If you can't finish eating, let your assistant and agent take them back to eat. Yan Xiao said.
However, the conversation suddenly said: "I can't have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with you tonight." ”
"Do you want to go back to the old house?" Lin Xinuan was not surprised, but there was still a little sadness and regret in his heart.
She is actually looking forward to it, but this day of family reunion, no matter what contradictions there are, the old man should go back to spend the year together.
This life is impermanent, who knows what will happen in the next second?
"You seem to be sorry that you can't have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with me. Yan Xiao approached Lin Xinuan and said.
"You're wrong. Lin Xinuan would not admit the little secret thoughts in her heart, and if Yan Xiao knew it, she would definitely be proud in her heart, so she would have the idea of making an inch.
"There's no shame in admitting it. Yan Xiao stretched out his hand and stroked the messy broken hair on Lin Xinuan's sideburns and said.
"How can I admit that there is no thing. Lin Xinuan is perfectly interpreting what it means to be a dead duck with a hard mouth.
"But I can accompany you for lunch. ”
"What if I didn't prepare your lunch?"
"Then give me a share from you. Yan Xiao was unceremonious.
For lunch, Lao Wu used the ingredients brought by Yan Xiao to make a table of good dishes, and specially divided a part of it for the evening, and then served it with soup and hot pot at night, which was enough for Lin Xinuan and a few of them to eat a big meal comfortably.
The dishes left at noon and the staple hot pot in the evening, Lin Xinuan taro Yuan, Sister Lili and Qiaoqiao, the four girls couldn't finish it at all, so Sister Lili called Chen Zhen again.
Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Xinuan received a photo from Yan Yan, which was also a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table seemed to be left for her.
Lin Xinuan also filmed the lively scene here for Yan Yan.
Good dishes naturally have to be paired with good wine, and Lin Xinuan didn't care whether it was a violent thing or not, she directly opened the red wine sent by Qi Moyao when she moved and shared it with everyone.
Here is full of wine and food, but the atmosphere in the Yan family's old mansion is not so relaxed and pleasant.
On the table of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not only Uncle Yan Xiao's family and his second uncle and his family, but also some outstanding young people from the Yan family's side branch were also invited by the old man, and the table in the old mansion was rarely so popular, but the atmosphere was not as harmonious as it seemed.
The old man sat on the main seat in a festive Tang costume, the first on the left hand side of the old man was the second uncle of the Yan family, and the first place on the right was Yan Xiao.
On both sides, scattered are the descendants of the Yan family, as well as some outstanding young people from the side branches.
In the past, Old Man Yan rarely took a fancy to the children and grandchildren of these side branches, but now it is Chinese New Year's Eve that gathers the children and grandchildren of these side branches together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone can't help but guess the old man's next plan.
Yan Xiao knew the old man's plan, but in fact, he was just disappointed in Yan Ji, the father and son, and had to make a long-term plan for the future of the Yan family.
The old man at the whole table did not mention a word about this aspect, and everyone pretended not to know, and they were happy on the surface.
Yan Xiao held the wine glass, and when he tapped the wine glass lightly with his index finger, he could hear the sound of high heels kicking on the floor.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa, and I wish you a long and happy life. A young woman with medium-long hair and a smart face and a black cashmere coat walked in.
"Xiaomei, why are you back?" Old Man Yan asked gently as he looked at Yan Mei.
"Didn't you say before that you can't come back for the New Year if you haven't finished your studies?"
"In order to surprise my grandfather, of course, I finished my thesis in advance and came back to accompany my grandfather for the New Year, and I haven't spent the New Year with my grandfather for many years. Yan Mei said affectionately with a smile.
"Add a place for Miss Mei next to Young Master Xiao. Old Man Yan said to the servant.
"Yes. ”
The servant hurriedly brought chairs and chopsticks.
"Cousin. Yan Mei Shi Ran sat down beside Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao's fluttering jaw was regarded as a response, and Yan Mei looked at Yan Ji, the second uncle of the Yan family, and the second lady of the Yan family, and shouted with a smile: "Dad, Mom, brother." ”
"Hehe, Xiaomei is back. Yan Ji's face changed suddenly, how could this little wild seed come back? Could it be that the old man specially called someone back? What the hell does the old man want to do?
"Yes, brother, but brother, what's wrong with your face? Did you fall?" Yan Mei asked, looking at the marks on Yan Ji's face.
Yan Ji looked stunned, glanced in the direction of Yan Xiao and said, "Yes, I didn't pay attention to the slippery road when I went out that day. ”
"That brother still has to pay attention, it's not easy for such a big person to fall. Yan Mei smiled like a little angel, and her voice was crisp and pleasant.
"Hehe, how long will Xiaomei stay at home when she comes back this time?" asked Second Lady Yan, looking at her husband's illegitimate daughter.
"I think I'll stay longer. Yan Mei raised her head and smiled, without delaying her mouth at all, this appearance was a little similar to Lin Xinuan, which made the corners of Yan Xiao's mouth uncontrollably slightly raised.
"Mom, aren't you happy when I come back for a few more days?" asked Yan Mei.
"Happy, happy. "Second Mrs. Yan almost pinched the wine glass in her hand, this little slut will not have anything good every time she comes back, she shouldn't have listened to the old man's words and recognized her in her own name, so that she now has to pretend to be a mother and son every time she meets Yan Mei.
"Since my mother is happy, then I have to find a way to stay at home for a while longer no matter what. Yan Mei said.
"It's still important to study, no matter what, you can't delay your studies. The corners of Second Lady Yan's mouth twitched.
"Mom, don't worry, I have already completed the graduation procedures when I come back this time, and I don't have to rush back to country E in the future, you must be very happy. ”
