Chapter 66: Year
Soon, the Lunar New Year ushered in.
This is the first New Year after Su Nguyen Nguyen and her sister have restarted their lives, and it is also the first New Year with Mr. Tang.
According to the rules, they all have to return to the Tang family's old mansion on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The courtyard of the old Tang family house is hung with red lanterns, the door frame is pasted with festive couplets, and the windows are also full of fiery red blessing characters, which are brightly lit and full of New Year's flavor.
The people of the Tang family all came back on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, only Tang Jingting's eldest brother, still did not see a figure.
Su Ruan Ruan was wearing a light-colored dress, a red and white coat on the outside, and her hair was tied in the middle, looking festive and cute.
"Brother Tang won't come back for the New Year?" asked Su Ruan Ruan curiously.
Tang Jingting looked at Su Ruanruan's eyes softly, and responded softly, "Well, the eldest brother is abroad all the year round, and he is very busy, and it is common for him not to come back for the New Year." ”
Su Ruan Ruan nodded clearly, it seems that Brother Tang is really very ambitious, but Su Ruan Ruan feels that although his career is important, for the sake of his career, he can't take care of the family reunion, which is always a little regrettable.
The hall of the Tang family was full of people, Tang Xi, Chen Shuhe, Tang Meng, and Yu Sisi, several people surrounded Tang Honghe and laughed.
Tang Honghe deliberately wore a red Tang costume today, his face was ruddy, and he was very happy with a smile on his loving face.
After Su Ruan Ruan and Su Ruan Ning arrived, they hurriedly came up and called someone.
Tang Honghe looked at the two sisters, and the smile on his face deepened, "The two girls are here." ”
"Nguyen Nguyen wishes Grandpa a Happy New Year, a smooth and prosperous life. Su Ruan Ruan said blessings sweetly.
Seeing this, Su Ruan Ning hurriedly followed and said a few auspicious words.
Tang Honghe smiled and took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to the two, Su Ruan Ruan subconsciously raised his head and looked at Tang Jingting, Tang Jingting smiled and nodded at her, she took it and said thank you to Tang Honghe.
"It's good, it's good to be back. Tang Honghe looked at his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, etc. with a smile.
just glanced around, and a faint disappointment suddenly fell from the bottom of his eyes, "It's a pity, Xiao Er didn't come back, if he came back, how good it would be, our year is really reunited." ”
The old people all hope for a family reunion, a lot of them.
Yu Sisi looked at Tang Honghe's slightly changing face, curled his lips and smiled lightly, "Dad, I called Xiao Er, Xiao Er's career over there is doing well, this year is because there is a very important expansion project, so I can't come back, but Xiao Er is very concerned about you, he said that he will call you later." ”
Tang Honghe's eyes lit up, "Really, when will he call?"
"Later, he doesn't want to disturb you for dinner and the party. Yu Sisi explained.
As soon as Yu Sisi said this, Tang Honghe was in a much better mood.
On the side, Chen Shuhe stared at Yu Sisi, "The relationship between the second sister-in-law and Xiao Er is really good, and Xiao Er often contacts the second sister-in-law." ”
Yu Sisiwen smiled and nodded, "Xiao Er is busy, in fact, I take the initiative to contact Xiao Er a lot, Xiao Er is away all the year round, and it always makes people worry." ”
"Qimin and his wife died early, Sisi cares more about Xiao Er, and it is reasonable, Sisi is Xiao Er's second aunt. Tang Honghe said.
Chen Shuhe smiled and didn't say anything more, but looking at Yu Sisi's eyes, it was meaningful.
"Ruan girl. ”
Su Ruan Ruan was talking to Tang Jingting, and when she heard Tang Honghe calling her, she hurriedly leaned over, "Grandpa." ”
"Little girl, play chess with me for a while. ”
Su Ruan Ruan nodded again and again in agreement.
Two people play chess, and the others sit or stand.
Su Ruan Ruan's chess skills have made great progress after playing with Tang Honghe so many times.
Tang Xi grabbed a handful of melon seeds, leaned aside, and watched his grandfather and grandson play chess, "Second brother, this little girl is really pleasing to grandpa, the little girl's chess skills are not exquisite, but grandpa likes to play with her so much." ”
Tang Jingting looked at the little girl who lowered her head and seriously pondered how to move next, her thin lips smiled, and her smile was full of doting.
"Yay! Ruan Ruan won!" Su Ruan Ruan took the chess piece that had captured Tang Honghe, and her little face was full of smiles.
Tang Honghe raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointed at Su Ruanruan, "You girl, you are getting more and more powerful." ”
Tang Xi looked at it and shook his head helplessly, "Grandpa is really strange, with this little girl, he will lose from time to time, but it is better to go down with Ruan Ning, he can always win, isn't he even happier?"
Tang Jingting glanced at Tang Xi, "Do you think grandpa will be even happier if he wins?"
Tang Xi bit the melon seeds and squinted his eyes, "Then what's the case?
"Winning is not necessarily happy, losing is not necessarily unhappy, grandpa has always been rigorous, Ruan Ning and grandpa chess often deliberately lose to grandpa, grandpa will not be happier, people who can play chess, they all prefer chess opponents, there are losses and wins. Tang Jingting said.
Tang Xi looked surprised, "That's the same." ”
After Su Ruan Ruan and Tang Honghe played several games of chess, Su Ruan Ning performed her newly learned dance in front of everyone.
Su Ruan Ning's posture is elegant, dancing like an elegant white swan, which makes people can't take their eyes off.
"Ruan Ning's dancing is really good. Yu Sisi praised.
Su Ruan Ning curled her lips and smiled at Yu Sisi, "Aunt Yu has won the award, Ruan Ning still has a lot to learn." ”
Tang Honghe smiled and said: "Ruan Ning's girl is really good, not only does she study well, but she also dances well, old man, I look at this dance and dance no worse than those dancers on TV." ”
"Yes, Ruan Ning seems to be very talented in dancing, and she can also consider art in college in the future. Yu Sisi said.
Tang Honghe nodded, Su Ruan Ning curled her lips when she saw this, and said: "Grandpa, Aunt Yu, the university in art has lower requirements for cultural courses, Ruan Ning feels that although dance is Ruan Ning's specialty, Ruan Ning feels that with Ruan Ning's grades, she still has to be more motivated and take the exam to an excellent university!"
Su Ruan Ning said something very ambitious, Tang Honghe nodded again and again when he listened, "It's a good thing that Ruan Ning girl has this kind of self-motivation, speaking of which, you and Ruan Yatou are going to take the college entrance examination in a few months after the New Year, have you two thought about which school to take the exam?"
Su Ruan Ning quickly answered, "Ruan Ning wants to take the Jinling University exam." ”
Jinling University is the best university residence in Jinling City.
"Where's Ruan girl?" Tang Honghe looked at Su Ruan with affection.
Su Ruan Ruan's small hand was restrained, and Su Bai smiled with a slightly red little face, "Ruan Ruan, like my sister, also wants to be admitted to Jinling University." ”
Tang Honghe looked surprised, and the smile on Su Ruanning's lips was a little more meaningful.
"Ruan Ruan, you have to have your own ideas, you can't see that my sister wants to take the Jinling University exam, and follow it, the score required by Jinling University is not low, if you want to take the exam, the pressure will be very great, your current grades have just passed the passing line. Su Ruan Ning smiled and touched Su Ruan's head and said.
Su Ruan Ruan listened to Su Ruan Ning's words, her pink lips bulged, and the arrogance that had just been ignited was suddenly extinguished.
She really wanted to be admitted to Jinling University, but when her sister said this, her confidence in herself instantly decreased a lot.
My sister is right, the score required by Jinling University is very high, and her grades are ......
Tang Jingting narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Jinling University has a branch, the grade requirements of the branch are lower, and there are also art academies, if you want to go to it, you can also consider it." ”
When Su Ruan Ruan heard this, her dim eyes lit up again, she nodded heavily and looked at Tang Honghe, "Grandpa, Ruan Ruan will do her best to get admitted to Jinling University, if it really doesn't work, then Ruan Ruan will rely on the branch school!
Tang Honghe was very happy to see that the sisters were so ambitious, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
On the other side of the restaurant, the maid, Yu Sisi and Chen Shuhe were busy, occasionally casting their eyes towards the hall.
Su Ruan Ruan looked in the direction of the restaurant and saw Yu Sisi and them making dumplings, she said something to Tang Jingting and walked over.
"Nguyen Nguyen is here. Yu Sisi looked at Su Ruan Ruan gently.
Su Ruan Ruan watched a few people making dumplings, this scene was very familiar.
Jinling belongs to the south, and eating dumplings is not as frequent as in the north, but when I was at home in the past, my parents would make some dumplings every New Year.
"Aunt Yu, can Ruan Ruan try to wrap some?" she took the initiative to ask.
Yu Sisi smiled and directly made room for her, "Of course, Ruan Ruan went to wash her hands, dried them and wrapped them together." ”
In the past, when she was at home, Su Ruan Ruan followed her parents to make dumplings, although she was not an expert in making dumplings, but she was not a beginner.
"Ruan Ruan has wrapped it before. Yu Sisi saw that she had a good bag, and asked with a smile.
Su Ruan Ruan bent her eyebrows and nodded, "Well, I used to wrap it with my parents for the New Year when I was at home." ”
Yu Sisi and Chen Shuhe are obviously skilled, both of them are full and good-looking, and Su Ruanruan's dumplings are mostly pinched up one by one, which looks a little dry.
Su Ruan Ruan and Yu Sisi were chatting while wrapping dumplings, she and Yu Sisi talked more, and Chen Shuhe was silent most of the time except for the occasional laugh.
After Tang Jingting and Tang Xi finished chatting, their eyes swept around the room, looking for the small figure.
"Mom. ”
Tang Jingting walked straight over and stood beside Su Ruanruan.
"Mr. Tang, look at the dumplings that Ruan Ruan wrapped. ”
The little girl offered him a treasure and let him see her earnest results.
Tang Jingting glanced at it, let out a chuckle between his noses, and said, "After the dumplings are put in the pot, you can recognize them very well." ”
Su Ruan Ruan's eyes narrowed, her pink lips bulging, "Mr. Tang is saying that Ruan Ruan's bag is not good-looking." ”
Yu Sisi said with a smile: "The appearance is not so unimportant, as long as it is not exposed." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Su Ruan Ruan hurriedly cooperated with Yu Sisi and nodded.
Tang Jingting smiled and said nothing, looking at the little girl's little face stained with a lot of flour because of the dumplings, and she looked like a little flower cat.
"Does Mr. Tang know how to pack it? Do you want to pack it?" she proposed, looking at him sideways.
Tang Jingting's eyebrows raised slightly, and Su Ruan Ruan picked up a noodle and handed it to him, "Mr. Tang, try it." ”
After Tang Jingting wiped his hands clean, he took the noodles handed by Su Ruan Ruan and began to wrap them.
Yu Sisi raised her eyes slightly, looking at her son in some surprise.
Jing Ting's temperament has always been indifferent, whether it is to people or things, most of the time he is indifferent, and now he is like this, even she, a mother, is deeply surprised.
Yu Sisi's gaze unconsciously fell on Su Ruan, who was smiling like a spring breeze, and the change in Jing Ting was because of Ruan Ruan.
The four of them wrapped dumplings, and then Tang Xi also came over, and later, Su Ruan Ning also came, there were more and more people, and there were more and more laughter.
After the dumplings were wrapped, the maid brought the wrapped dumplings into the kitchen, and quickly cooked several plates, and a room full of people sat around the dining table, which was very lively.
Everyone here is a junior in Tang Honghe, and everyone takes turns to toast Tang Honghe.
"Little girl, you have too little wine in this wine glass, it's not interesting enough. Tang Xi saw the starry wine in Su Ruan's wine glass, and said with a smile.
Su Ruan Ruan bent his eyebrows and smiled, looked at Tang Honghe, and said slowly: "Grandpa, Ruan Ruan can't drink, but today is the Chinese New Year, Ruan Ruan wants to be happy, so just drink a little, Ruan Ruan wishes grandpa more than every year, happy and happy." ”
Tang Honghe grinned, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and clinked glasses with Su Ruan Ruan, "Okay, Ruan Yatou is still young, it is appropriate to drink less wine, and it is not in the way." ”
Su Ruan Ruan took a sip of red wine, hmm...... This red wine tastes pretty good.
After Su Ruan Ruan toasted several elders, the little red wine in the cup was also drunk.
After she sat down, Tang Jingting asked the maid to change a glass of orange juice.
Tang Jingting sat next to Su Ruan Ruan and took good care of Su Ruan Ruan.
Tang Xi looked at it on the side and couldn't help but hook his lips.
After dinner, there was a New Year's party, Tang Honghe likes to watch the party, and those of them who are juniors will accompany Tang Honghe to watch it.
Su Ruan Ruan and Su Ruan Ning sat on the goose down carpet, leaning against the mahogany coffee table and cutting red paper window grilles.
Tang Honghe and Tang Jingting watched the party, and when they encountered programs that they were not interested in, Tang Honghe chatted with them.
Tang's Pharmaceutical has always been Tang Meng's responsibility, although Tang's focus is now on cosmeceuticals, but the pharmaceutical industry is basic, and it cannot be slackened and thrown away, Tang Honghe inquired about the recent situation of Tang's Pharmaceutical, and Tang Meng reported one by one.
"Our Tang's Pharmaceutical is an old brand, and its reputation has always been good, by the way, I heard that you have recently recruited a group of new people to enter the scientific research room to develop new products. Tang Honghe looked at Tang Meng and asked.
Tang Meng's expression fell, and he nodded for a moment, "Yes." ”
"Is it dealing with double A disease?" Tang Honghe then asked.
Double A disease is a new disease discovered in the past few years, although there are drugs to treat it, but in the prevention and complete cure of a piece, there is still a need for improvement, both the country and the major pharmaceutical industries, are developing and progressing in this area.
Tang Meng's eyes flashed with a glimmer, "It can be regarded as a few, today's young people are capable, even extraordinary, there are not a few, I think of Tang's Pharmaceutical, even if it is scientific research, it can't always be the same, it needs the injection of fresh blood, and the research and development of new products is not limited to double A disease." ”
Tang Honghe listened and nodded, "Yes, in today's world, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, young people, they have the ability and more energy, which is a good thing, and we Tang Clan also need such a spirit, we must not remain the same and stick to the old rules." ”
"Yes. Tang Meng bowed his head in response.
"Speaking of this, I do think of one thing," Tang Honghe spoke again, his face a little more serious than just now, "MJ Company, I think you should have heard of it." ”
Tang Meng's eyes turned slightly, and he nodded for a moment, "Yes, I have heard of it." ”
"This company is not a big company, but over the past year or so, there have been more and more voices in the pharmaceutical industry, and they are quite mysterious, so you should pay more attention. Tang Honghe admonished.
Tang Jingting glanced at the two of them, and then his eyes fell on the little girl who was cutting the window flowers with great interest.
Su Ruan Ruan followed Yu Sisi to learn to cut the more complicated rabbits, and she cut some Lingzhi flowers herself, she planned to take the rabbits and flowers back and stick them on the window of her room.
As soon as Su Ruan Ruan turned her eyes, she saw that Yu Sisi had cut out a picture of flowers and birds and a small portrait of a person, which looked vivid and vivid.
"Ah, Aunt Yu's cut is so beautiful, and her hands are so skillful. Su Ruan Ruan's small hand held her cheeks, and her starry eyes shone with admiration.
"Ruan Ruan likes it? Yu Sisi said softly and gave her the freshly cut flowers.
Su Ruan Ruan didn't say anything polite to Yu Sisi, and after saying thank you sweetly, she took it.
"Second brother, Ruan Ruan Ruan Ning, let's go set off fireworks. At this time, Tang Xi walked over, put his hands in his pockets, and asked.
"Go, you young people go to play, I have someone to accompany you, you can go and have fun to your heart's content. Tang Honghe smiled and waved his hand.
Set off fireworks and firecrackers, Tang Jingting was not very happy, but he did not exclude it, the two girls were as excited as Tang Xi, especially Su Ruanruan.
The four of them put on their coats and changed their shoes and left the old mansion.
Not very far from the old house of the Tang family, there is a sea, there is a vacant square by the sea, where as soon as the Chinese New Year arrives, it is full of people, when they drive there, the square has gathered a lot of people, all of them come together to set off fireworks to celebrate.
Tang Xi bought a bunch of fireworks, firecrackers.
"Two little girls, which one do you plan to put first?" Tang Xi asked.
Su Ruan Ning smiled slightly, "Ruan Ning can do it, Brother Xi can make a decision." ”
Tang Xi smiled, turned his eyes to look at Su Ruan Ruan, and gestured at it, Su Ruan Ruan looked at the various fireworks in front of him, thought about it, and then pointed to the largest one, "Let's put this biggest one first." ”
Tang Xiyi raised his eyebrows and picked up the largest fireworks, "Okay." ”
Tang Xi was in charge of lighting the fireworks, and Su Ruan Ruan stood beside Tang Jingting, looking forward to the fireworks that were slowly being ignited.
After Tang Xi lit it, he quickly ran away, and after a while, the fireworks burned along the fireworks line, and then slammed, made a sound, and flew into the sky, and it was another sound, blooming in the dark night sky!
Colorful fireworks lit up the night, "Wow, it's so beautiful! It's all scattered! Mr. Tang, look, that blue one, it's so beautiful!"
The little girl next to her cheered excitedly, her little hands kept patting, Tang Jingting looked sideways, and a firework bloomed, reflecting on the little girl's dark eyes, shining like stars.
For a moment, he was a little dazed.
The purchased fireworks were lit one after another, Tang Xi shouted happily, Su Ruan Ruan and Su Ruan Ning did not stop, after the flying fireworks were released, the two of them took the fairy sticks they bought and burned.
The fireworks of the fairy sticks burst into flames, accompanied by hazy smoke.
"It's beautiful. ”
Su Ruan Ruan held the fairy stick in both hands, sketching it in a circle, "Mr. Tang, do you want to give it a try?!" she looked up at Tang Jingting with a smile on her face.
"Ruan girl, the fireworks that girls like fairy sticks like are not in line with my second brother's temperament, and my second brother won't put them. Tang Xi heard the sound and came over.
However......
In the next moment, Tang Xi watched his second brother take the fairy stick in Su Ruanruan's hand, "Who said I wouldn't let it go, it's okay to play with it." The man said in a deep voice.
Tang Xi: "......"
Roar! Don't save face for your brother at all!
"Second brother, then since you want to put it, you have to have the appearance of putting a fairy stick, this fairy stick is to be like Ruan Yatou and them, take it in your hand and turn it around, it's best to turn around with your body!" Tang Xi snickered.
Su Ruan Ruan blinked and looked at the man through the smoke ring with big eyes, and really didn't dare to think that Mr. Tang would set off fireworks as Tang Xi's brother said.
Tang Jingting looked at Tang Xi with a smug face, his expression was calm, and his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, "I suddenly feel that the endorsement of Huayuntang Churui products needs talents with another temperament to be more suitable, and it seems that it has to be replaced." ”
Tang Xi's eyes widened, "Second brother, don't ...... Am I wrong? ”
Tang Xi immediately confessed and apologized.
Tang Xi is in charge of the affairs of Shengtang Entertainment, during this time he has his own ideas and people he wants to support, Shengtang and Huayuntang are essentially one family, they can be mutually beneficial, the endorsement of Churui products, but he finally won it from Tang Jingting's mouth, but he can't lose it.
Seeing Tang Xi hurriedly admit his mistake, Tang Jingting's thin lips were slightly sunken, and he chuckled.
The four of them were in a good mood with the fireworks, and soon, the pile of fireworks they bought were all gone, and after the four of them cleaned up, they planned to go back to the old house.
Su Ruan Ruan and Su Ruan Ning were walking side by side in front, chattering and talking, and behind them, the two men were also walking side by side, chatting with each other, Tang Jingting's eyes fell on Su Ruan Ruan from time to time.
Su Ruan Ruan and Su Ruan Ning were laughing and talking, when suddenly, there was a sharp voice in front of them, "Get out of the way!"
When they looked up, they saw two or three young men on skateboards rushing towards them.
"Ruan Ruan, be careful!"
Tang Jingting's face sank, and he grabbed Su Ruanruan's waist and pulled her away, Su Ruan Ning stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately she was supported by Tang Xi.
I only heard a snap, and the boy who hit them also stumbled.
"What's the matter, you have to look at the road when you skateboard!" Tang Xi couldn't help but scold.
Tang Jingting's face was gloomy, he lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, and asked worriedly, "Did you touch it?"
Su Ruan Ruan was a little frightened, her eyes were a little dilated, she shook her head, "I'm fine." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
The boy who had just bumped into them straightened up and apologized to them again and again.
The boys have a good attitude, they are not arrogant and pestering people, and after saying a few words, they didn't blame more.
"Sheng Hui, hurry up. ”
The boy's friend called, the boy raised his eyes, and saw the appearance of the two clearly in an instant, and skimmed his eyes with a touch of surprise.
"Sheng Hui, what are you doing!"
The boy watched the four of them leave, and his eyes slowly withdrew, and his friend ran over and put one hand on his shoulder, "What are you doing in a daze." ”
The boy slowed down and shook his head, "It's nothing, let's go." At the moment of leaving, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at him calmly.
