Chapter 477: Chinese New Year's Eve
After the old man's own grandchildren said a few words, he looked at his son and daughter.
"Why don't you come here at this time? Don't make a phone call before coming, the road here is not easy to walk, right?" asked the old man Wu at his own child.
The daughter of the old man Wu said: "We want to call, but your phone is not working, it is better to call my mother, it is through but no one answers."
Old Man Wu patted his head when he heard this: "Look, we are eating here and forgetting our mobile phones."
The old man was a little embarrassed, so he walked to his son and daughter: "Have you eaten it all?"
"Old man, you are stupid, the child came over at this time and you asked if you had eaten?" The old lady was also very happy now, and began to count her wife.
Master Wu turned his head and looked at Bian Rui's parents who were standing at the door.
"Don't worry, old witch, there are a lot of things at home, wait a few minutes, everyone will add two more dishes! What are you doing here. By the way, if you can't live in your family, you can arrange to live here?"
Bian Rui's mother said politely.
Bian Rui's father-in-law said at this time: "It's not suitable to live here, there is no cover here, it's better to live on my side, the guest rooms are empty."
Old Man Wu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, don't bother everyone, my house is enough to live in, how can there be a reason to go to live in another house during the New Year, just squeeze it!"
After listening to it, everyone also felt that this was the truth, how could there be a reason to live in someone else's house on the New Year's Day, so they nodded one after another.
The old man and his wife took their children and grandchildren back to their yard.
Everyone was happy for the old couple, and began to talk quietly while busy adding vegetables.
Yan Lan also said happily to Bian Rui at this time: "Uncle Wu has finally fulfilled his wishes, now that his children and grandchildren are in front of him, there is no need to stretch his face all day long, hahaha!"
"You stupid girl, do you say that about your Uncle Wu?" Yan Lan's mother reprimanded her daughter, not letting her daughter say, and she picked up the conversation: "The old man may be so happy today that he can't sleep!"
Bian Rui smiled and did not answer.
At this time, Jing Lu asked: "Grandma Yu, do you want to get more meat fillings?" Otherwise, tomorrow morning, everyone may not have enough dumpling fillings!"
"Yes, get more, I forgot what the Wu family's kids tasted like. Little deer, you wait for me to ask!" said the old lady, as she went out.
Old man Yan said: "You stop for me, what are you going to do at this time?" What is the urgency of dumpling filling, wait for the meal to finish eating, we don't have the rule that dumpling stuffing is not allowed in Chinese New Year's Eve." By the way, do you have any of them here?"
Bian Rui's father smiled: "No, no, if we hadn't spent it together this year, we would have eaten the reunion dinner and made dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala."
"You see, I forgot about this," Bian Rui's mother-in-law smiled and sat back in her original position.
Bian Rui's mother asked at this time, "Sister Yu, what do you say about their taste?
Old man Yan opened his mouth at this time and said: "Add some goo meat, plucked apples or something, anyway, we have sweet and salty dishes on this table, and we can't eat this or anything else?"
"Okay, Xiao Rui, you come and burn it, I'm afraid that we will grind here and starve the new guests," said Bian Rui's mother.
Bian Rui rolled up his sleeves and worked without saying a word, the materials were ready-made, and it didn't take a quarter of an hour for three small pots to boil, Bian Rui re-cooked six dishes here, and also burned a large bowl of Pingqiao tofu soup.
The dishes here are about to be ready, so naturally someone went to Old Man Wu's house to invite guests, waiting for Bian Rui to bring the last soup juice, and the long table that was originally sitting a little loose was already crowded with people.
Everyone sat down, the dishes were arranged, and the wine was opened, so Grandpa Bian Rui, the oldest person in the field, said some New Year's greetings to everyone.
As soon as the New Year's greetings were finished, the adults finished their drinks, and the children took a sip of their drinks.
"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables!"
Before Bian Rui's grandfather sat down, he beckoned everyone to do it.
There are four or five children on the table, and it can't be lively, not to mention the daughters of the Bian Rui family, and the grandchildren of the old man's family are not quiet characters, not to mention that every time they eat a dish, they have to ask questions, and the old man and his family have not eaten a few chopsticks at all.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, eating is a lively, today's noodles are indeed lively, several families together is a pull.
The children were the first to finish eating, and after finishing eating, they went to play, while the adults continued to eat and chat.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xiao Jingjing ran back and came to her grandmother's side, relying on not saying a word.
When Bian Rui's mother saw her granddaughter like this, she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, don't you go to play with your little brother and sister?"
Xiao Jingjing said: "Grandma, I miss Brother Sun a little bit, let's go back early, okay?"
When Bian Rui's mother heard this, she understood that her granddaughter and the children of Old Man Wu's family couldn't play together, so she said, "Then you wait for grandma, I'll let you go back with grandma immediately, okay?"
Bian Rui's mother was already full of food, but she couldn't leave when she was full, otherwise who would clean up this table of dishes? So she had to hand over her little granddaughter to her mother-in-law.
Bian Rui didn't notice this, but Yan Lan noticed it, and she had almost eaten here, so she walked over and pulled Xiao Jingjing to the side, and the two of them whispered like this.
After a while, Yan Lan came back quietly, sat next to Bian Rui and didn't say anything, and continued to eat.
This meal lasted for more than an hour, although the atmosphere was warm, but these people from the old man's house were all meeting for the first time, and some of them were too polite, so an hour later, the old man's family got up and left the table.
As soon as Old Man Wu's house left, the rest of the people chatted for a while and then dispersed.
The rest of the things to clean up the dishes and chopsticks don't need Bian Rui to get started, his main task is to take his daughter-in-law home safely, as for watching the Spring Festival Gala and staying up late, Bian Rui hasn't done it for a long time, as for Yan Lan, it's only eleven o'clock at most, and he has to be sleepy.
Out of the Banpo courtyard, when they arrived at the main road, Yan Lan suddenly said to Bian Rui: "Xiao Jingjing was bullied today."
"Who bullied her?" Bian Rui didn't expect this.
Then Yan Lan told Bian Rui what happened at night.
Bian Rui smiled when he heard this: "What kind of bully is this, you don't have to care, Jingjing is not a flower in a greenhouse, and this world is not all good things, as long as these small setbacks are not excessive, it will be good for her future life."
It's just that other children's children are not happy to play with Jingjing, and they are a little disgusted with the little girl. Maybe a few older children were talking a little rushed or something, but they didn't make a fuss, Bian Rui didn't want to meddle in suing other people's children like this, it was too low-level.
Hearing Bian Rui say this, Yan Lan just stopped talking, and the two of them talked small as they walked.
When I arrived at the door of my parents' house, I found that the little girl ran out of the yard with a small lantern, and the little girl ran quickly and almost hit Yan Lan's body, but fortunately, Bian Rui protected it tightly.
"What are you doing, like a monkey with a burning butt, you can't run slowly?"
As far as Bian Ruixun's kung fu is concerned, the little girl has already run several meters.
"I'm going to go and play with Brother Sun, let them see my lanterns, grandpa made them for me!" Xiao Jingjing was a little unhappy at this time.
Children are like this, anger comes and goes quickly. Anything that doesn't feel good is quickly forgotten.
"Do you want to go home and sleep at night?" Bian Rui roared.
The little girl didn't reply: "Don't go back, I'll sleep with grandma!"
Bian Rui shook his head when he heard this, went to the yard with his daughter-in-law, sat down in the courtyard and drank two cups of tea with his grandfather and father, chatted for a while, and took a look at the Spring Festival Gala twice, and then got up and prepared to go back to his own courtyard with his daughter-in-law.
As soon as he stood up, Bian Rui heard the mobile phone ringing, and took it out to see that it was Wang Jie calling, Bian Rui didn't need to ask, she knew that she wanted to see her daughter.
Yan Lan stretched out her head to take a look and found that it was Wang Jie, so she obediently walked to the side and found a chair to sit down.
Bian Rui answered the phone and fed him.
As Bian Rui expected, Wang Jie called just to see his daughter.
"I'll look for it, maybe I'm playing in someone's house" After Bian Rui finished speaking, he stood outside the yard with the phone, and directly called out his daughter.
shouted twice and no one answered, and just when Bian Rui was about to give up, he heard the little girl sigh.
After a while, I saw the little girl with a small flower, and her very beautiful little lantern in her hand blowing like a gust of wind.
Handing over the phone to his daughter, Bian Rui reached out and stroked the back of her daughter's head, and slowly took her into the house.
Today, Wang Jie didn't check his homework or take the piano test, so the mother and daughter chatted very happily, and the little girl also deliberately showed her mother the lantern that her grandfather made for herself.
The lantern made by the old man for his great-granddaughter is quite attentive, tied with the eight treasure lotus table lanterns, which are completely made by the ancient law, bamboo bone paper skin, the lotus seeds in the middle of the lotus flower are also with golden spikes, and there is a character story on each lotus, some are three dozen white bone spirits, and some are black bears stealing robes, anyway, they are all animated images that children like.
There are no such lanterns in the market, firstly, it is too labor-intensive, and secondly, it takes a long time and the cost is high. Third, who has the patience to spend dozens of hours, almost a week or two to make this thing, and it can't be sold at a high price, and the two-dollar lantern made by the machine is still running around the street, isn't it?
Seeing the mother talking on the phone, Bian Rui sat next to Yan Lan and reached out to wrap his hand around his daughter-in-law's shoulder.
Yan Lan looked at the little girl who was talking to her mother and her eyebrows were dancing a little distracted, and asked Bian Rui after a while: "You say, will our daughter be like Jingjing?"
Bian Rui smiled: "If you are like Jingjing, your head will be big!"
