Lu Yao was about to stop Ning Hao from approaching Fang Fang, he wanted to drive Fang Fang away as soon as possible. Just as he was about to drink Ning Hao, Wu Jingsheng, who was standing beside him, pulled his sleeve and whispered to him: "Open the door, this New Year's Day, it is unlucky to drive away the guests who come to the door." You also saw that when Ning Hao saw this fire phoenix, he was so excited that he seemed to be a different person, he wouldn't let you take Fang Fang away. ”

Lu Yao smiled helplessly, glared at Fang Fang hatefully, and walked towards the iron gate angrily.

Lu Yao opened the iron door, and Ning Hao very warmly invited Fang Fang into the courtyard and walked happily to the front yard together.

When Lu Yao was closing the iron gate, Wu Jingsheng approached him again and whispered, "There is also a driver in the car." ”

"I saw it, don't pay attention to him! he is one of Fang Fang's horse boys, and Fang Fang will not let him in!" Lu Yao said indignantly.

"Brother, you are a guest at the door, not to mention that today is the New Year, you can't have any resentment casually, this is the custom. Wu Jingsheng reminded again.

"Big cousin, don't worry, I know it in my heart. Lu Yao responded.

Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng came to the front yard and saw that Ning Hao was already making tea for Fang Fang in Zhang Luo. They looked at each other and smiled wryly, put the tools in the tool room, and then walked to the faucet together to wash their faces.

"Fang Fang, you drink tea first, we just came back from the construction site and have to take a bath. Later, let Lu Yao stir-fry a few good dishes and treat you. Let me tell you, Lu Yao's stir-frying skills are comparable to the chefs of the restaurant, and it can be said that they are not as good as the chefs, and you have a good mouth today!" Ning Hao finished with a smile and ran into the shower room happily.

Ning Hao came out of the shower and happily accompanied Fang Fang to drink tea and chat. After Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng took a bath, they went to the kitchen together to cook rice and stir-fry.

More than an hour later, Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng brought a sumptuous meal to the table, and Ning Hao also filled four wine glasses with wine. They were sitting around the table and were about to start eating and drinking, when a sudden sound sounded outside the iron gate in the backyard: "Lu Yao! Lu Yao! The boss asked me to come and pick you up and take you to his house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!"

Lu Yao, you ask the driver to wait for a while, we will eat together, and you will go over. Ning Hao said.

"You guys eat first, I'll go talk to the driver. Lu Yao quickly stood up and ran to the backyard.

He came to the backyard and opened the iron door, and saw a tall and handsome young man of about thirty years old, standing firmly outside the door.

"Big brother, we just had a banquet, can you come in and have a bite to eat with us?" Lu Yao asked politely.

"I'm not going in, the boss is still waiting for you at home. Why don't you eat first, and I'll wait for you outside for a while?" asked the young man with a smile and a kind face.

"I'm sorry about that? I'll go in and change my clothes now, and I'll be right out. After Lu Yao finished speaking, he turned around and ran into the front yard.

When he came to the courtyard, he saw that everyone was still waiting for him, and he didn't even move his chopsticks. He hurriedly ran to the table, picked up a glass of liquor, and said, "Big cousin, Ning Hao, I'm really sorry, my uncle sent a car to pick me up." They were waiting at home for me to go over for Chinese New Year's Eve, and I had to leave now. This glass of wine is for me to toast you, and when we have had a reunion dinner together. I wish you all a happy New Year, a smooth and prosperous new year, and all your wishes come true!

"Okay! For the sake of your bright future, we will not delay you. Fang Fang, pick up the wine glass, let's toast together!I wish Lu Yao a happy birthday!" Ning Hao stood up and said with his wine glass.

"Yes, we drank this cup of New Year's wine, even if we celebrate the New Year together, cheers! Brother, happy birthday!" Wu Jingsheng also stood up and said happily.

Fang Fang also raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Lu Yao, I wish you a happy birthday!"

When everyone was clinking glasses, Lu Yao used a very clever move to avoid the wine glasses handed over by Fang Fang.

He picked up the wine glass and quickly touched the wine glasses of Wu Jingsheng and Ning Hao, and when Fang Fang's wine glass was about to touch his, his right hand holding the wine glass shook slightly. In order to prevent the wine from spilling, he quickly bent down, lowered the raised wine glass, and then lifted the wine glass and tilted his head to dry.

"You eat vegetables, today is the New Year, you must eat and drink well! I won't accompany you, see you in the evening!" Lu Yao finished speaking, put down the wine glass, and walked quickly into the room.

When Lu Yao was changing clothes in the room, Wu Jingsheng walked in and said, "Brother, you can go to the big boss's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with peace of mind, I will be optimistic here." It is the first time for you to go to such a big boss's house for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which is of great significance, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be rude. In addition to paying attention to etiquette, you also have to respect the customs and habits of their southerners.

When you see the elders, you must pay New Year's greetings, and the southerners don't seem to have the habit of kneeling down to worship the New Year, so you don't want to learn the tradition of our hometown and kneel down with the elders to pay New Year's greetings. In our hometown, it is generally the elders who give the younger generations New Year's money. I heard that the customs in the south are different, as long as the young people who participate in the work, they also have to give red envelopes to the elders, peers, and juniors, which is to bless each other and ask for a good fortune. Are you ready for the red envelope?"

"I've heard this custom from my eldest sister's two distant cousins, so I was ready last night. But I don't know how many people there are in my uncle's family, I only sealed twenty red envelopes, and they all contained ten yuan, won't it be less?"

"In our hometown, a dollar is a big red envelope. When you go to the rich people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, they don't care about the size of your red envelope, what they care about is etiquette, your heart, and a good intention. Since the big boss only has one adopted daughter, Ah Ying, and the other relatives are not in Yunhai City, there will not be too many people who come to his house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight, and twenty red envelopes should be enough. It's the first time you've come to the door on such a special day, what kind of gift are you preparing?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

"I'm not prepared for this! I'll go down the mountain to the supermarket later, I really don't have any gifts to get my hands on, I'll buy a bouquet of flowers, what do you think?" Lu Yao asked.

"It's a good idea, and it's very foreign. It's just that there are many types of flowers, and each flower, as well as the meaning of several kinds of flowers combined, is different. We don't know the etiquette in this regard, and it is easy to be self-defeating and even block the host.

In this way, the day before yesterday, when Ning Hao and I went up the mountain, didn't we mention some fruits? There were apples and oranges in them. These two fruits are especially popular in the homes of southerners and are especially suitable for gifting, as they symbolize peace and good fortune. I'll help you pick out some good ones, put them in a red bag, and you can just bring them over. After Wu Jingsheng finished speaking, he immediately began to pick fruits.
