The wine was poured, Zhao Chunfang looked at the candle with his hands behind his back in a daze, Zhao Di was on the phone, He Zhou saw that the two of them did not move the chopsticks, and the chopsticks in his hand were put down unconsciously.

There is an incense burner on the living room table, on which is lit Buddha incense, and two incense candles on the left and right, and the candle flame is swaying.

This year's snow is heavy, windy and colder than usual.

The twist of the incense candle was crumbling, and the slightest carelessness was about to be extinguished by the wind blowing in from outside.

You can't close the door for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhao Chunfang was not at ease, so she went into the house in the front yard and found two lampshades to come out and put them on candles.

The candle flame was steady, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Zhao Di has hung up the phone.

smiled and said, "Let's eat, don't be stunned." ”

Zhao Chunfang said, "Let's eat." ”

He Zhou began to move his chopsticks at this time, and raised his glass to his grandmother and mother while eating.

was eating with his head bored, and there was an extra pair of chopsticks in front of him, and the pig's tongue that he was holding fell into his bowl.

"Eat one, and you will have a profit in the coming year. Zhao Chunfang said with a smile.

He Zhou put it in his mouth and said while chewing, "Thank you, grandma." ”

Their family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because of the absence of grandpa and his unpopular uncle, was much colder than in previous years.

When he began to eat, he also felt very bland.

After drinking a glass of wine, he didn't drink any more, and after filling a bowl of rice, he ate half of it, leaving the remaining half and making a "warehouse bottom".

Just as he was about to get up, he was stopped by Zhao Chunfang again.

He saw his grandmother hand over a stack of money.

"Thank you, grandma. He smiled and took the New Year's money.

With a casual pinch, he estimated that there were thousands of yuan, which was the largest amount of New Year's money he had ever received from his grandmother.

If it had been before, he would have been excited.

But, now, he's not short of money.

The heart is already unfazed.

Holding the teacup, I went to the second grandmother's house first.

"Second grandma, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Before he could enter the door, He Zhou began to shout loudly, trying his best to dilute the oppressive atmosphere in the air.

"Okay, come in. "The old lady is adding wood under the stove.

He Zhou saw that she was about to get up, so he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't be busy, I'll come by myself." ”

casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds and candy from the dustpan next to him and stuffed them into his pocket.

The old lady said, "Then catch it yourself, you're welcome." ”

He Zhou said, "You haven't fired the cannon yet, have you? ”

At the door, he didn't see any confetti with firecrackers.

The old lady said, "In the back room." ”

He Zhou was one step ahead of her, ran to the back room, found firecrackers on a pile of rice woven bags, and took them outside.

The old lady opened the cigarette and handed it to He Zhou, who lit it with a smile, and then said, "You stay away and cover your ears." ”

The old lady trotted into the house in a hurry, much more neatly than before.

After He Zhou lit it, he rushed into the house with a crackling sound and helped the old lady bring food into the living room.

A table full of dishes, the old lady sat at the top, and he sat at the bottom.

This is also a two-year convention.

Since He Weibao passed away, the old lady is reluctant to go to anyone's house for the New Year, including her own daughter He Manrong's house, she is also unwilling to go, let alone Zhao Chunfang's family, which is incompatible.

She has a son, so she can't go elsewhere for the New Year, and only the "old desperate" needs others to send warmth.

He Zhou took out a bottle of liquor from the corner of the staircase, opened it, and slowly poured the wine for the old lady, while looking at the old lady's face, as long as the old lady had a hint, he immediately stopped.

Until the old lady was full, the old lady didn't say a word.

"Second grandma, your alcohol consumption is rising. ”

"Smoke less. After the old lady reprimanded, she felt that it was inappropriate, and it was not a good sign that she could not beat and scold the child during the Spring Festival. She smiled and said, "Smoking is not good for your health, and you are also full." ”

"A must. He Zhou poured himself full, and estimated that there were three taels of wine.

One old and one young, talking and laughing, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Halfway through the meal, two figures appeared at the door, and the dog at the door did not bark, so it must be an acquaintance.

Then he heard the old lady's voice.

"Auntie, give you a farewell. ”

To He Zhou's surprise, his wife was followed by his grandmother.

Grandma and the second grandmother are old women, lifelong enemies, and in his memory, his grandmother has stepped into the second grandmother's house only a handful of times.

Zhao Chunfang put her hands behind her back, and after coming in, her eyes looked at the table and the ceiling.

He Weibao's wife smiled reluctantly and said, "Sit, sit." ”

Hurriedly brought Zhao Chunfang melon seeds and candy.

"The food is good. Zhao Chunfang grabbed a handful of melon seeds, threw one into her mouth, and didn't see any movement, and the melon seed shells accurately fell into the trash can that entered the door.

He Weibao's wife smiled and said, "Don't be too stumbling, sit down and eat some." ”

Zhao Chunfang sat unceremoniously in the upper left corner of her daughter, and also took a cup for herself.

He Zhou put down the liquor in his hand, and ran back to the stairwell to find red wine, his second grandmother's house also has no shortage of these, all of them were given by his mother, usually if no one drinks it, it is all piled up there.

Occasionally, his second grandmother and daughter, He Manrong, would take away two or three bottles.

When he came out with a bottle of red wine, his wife and grandmother's cups were already full of red wine.

Zhao Chunfang glanced at the red wine in He Zhou's hand and said, "That thing is like water, who wants to drink it." ”

He Zhou couldn't cry or laugh.

His grandmother is a little pretending, that small amount of alcohol, drinking a drink or two can sleep all day without opening her eyes, and then she just carries a small bench to the door of people's houses and scolds.

He was a little panicked, it was really bad to be drunk.

He Weibao squinted his eyes calmly, and clinked glasses with Zhao Chunfang, this was the second time the old woman and her husband clinked glasses in their lives, and the first time they clinked glasses was when she first entered the door.

Whether it is friend or foe, she can't tell it clearly for the time being, it's not good to tear her face during the New Year, she will deal with it first.

Zhao Chunfang rarely didn't snort, looked at the bottom of the other party's cup, and took a heavy sip, as if he didn't want to show weakness.

How much the other person drinks, how much she drinks.

He Zhou eats his own and drinks his own, and decides not to mix, the two live treasures, he can't afford to mess with one of them, anyway, his wife is there, seeing that the limelight is wrong, he can't leave.

Zhao Chunfang said, "I saw that you were pitiful, so I came to have a drink with you." ”

Zhao Di frowned and smiled bitterly.

The old lady's words are really unpopular.

He Weibao's wife smiled and said, "Yes, I wanted you to have a drink with me last year." ”

Last year, He Laoxi was still alive.

When He Laoxi was alive, you Zhao Chunfang didn't come, but this year, He Laoxi is gone, but you came.

Who is more afraid of loneliness?

Who is more pitiful?

Zhao Chunfang was very dissatisfied, this concubine still lost her face everywhere and didn't let her look good.

She can step into this threshold, which is already very face-saving.

Zhao Di saw that she was about to have a seizure, and hurriedly said, "Our He family is originally a small family, and if people don't get together together, it really makes outsiders laugh, let's have a lively New Year together, and it looks good inside and out." ”
