Chapter 47: Reunion Dinner
Talking about the New Year, twenty-three sugar melons are sticky, twenty-four sweeping days, twenty-five pasting windows, twenty-six stewed meat, twenty-seven killing roosters, twenty-eight white noodles, twenty-nine steamed steamed buns, and the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner!
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it happened that Wang Zhenhua and Gu Jialiang were not on duty, such a situation is rare, since the year Wang Zhenhua went to work, more than ten years, only five times at home for the Chinese New Year's Eve, the rest are on duty, Gu Jialiang is even more day and night, a phone call in the middle of the night out of the car.
"It's so good this year! I'm not on duty, now we can have a reunion dinner!" Li Hui said happily, and suddenly remembered that his son has not heard from him until now, where is the reunion dinner?
Wang Jinshan's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see whether he was happy or unhappy, Gu Yiming has always been good at observing words and colors, and he never mentioned his uncle's name all day, because Wang Zhenhua told him at home the night before, don't mention his uncle on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this handsome nine-year-old guy quickly nodded and agreed.
"Come on, come on, I'll pour wine for everyone!" Gu Jialiang sensed that the second elder's mood was a little delicate, and hurriedly created a happy atmosphere.
"This Heli, I called the day before yesterday and said that I couldn't decide if I could come back, it was dark, it seems that I won't come back, it's really annoying!" Wang Zhenhua scolded secretly in his heart.
"Oh! it's time to eat!" Gu Yiming jumped up, and Wang Jinshan began to smile, "Yiming, quickly turn on the TV for grandpa, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala in a while!"
"I can't start after eating! It's not even six o'clock!" Li Hui looked at her watch and sighed secretly in her heart, this bastard boy, it seems that he won't be coming back this year!
"You have to set off firecrackers before eating! Isn't the stewed chicken with mushrooms still out of the pot?" Gu Yiming, go, follow me downstairs to set off the firecrackers!" Gu Jialiang patted his son's head lightly, "Put on your down jacket!"
"Let's go with the guns, let's go with the guns!" Gu Yiming ran to the bedroom excitedly, put on his down jacket, put on cotton shoes, and followed Gu Jialiang downstairs with firecrackers.
After a while, I heard the crackling firecrackers downstairs one after another, and before dinner, everyone was setting off firecrackers, and I couldn't tell whose house was who, the children laughed and screamed, and covered their ears downstairs and jumped and jumped, the bright red firecracker skin exploded in the white snow, and the red piece under the street lamp was very beautiful.
It's been a long time since the firecrackers were set off, and the two of them didn't come up, Li Hui was a little worried, was something wrong? Why hasn't it come up for so long? Wang Jinshan has already brought the stewed chicken with mountain mushrooms in a big basin, and it will be cold if he doesn't start the meal.
"Zhenhua! Hurry up and put on a padded jacket and go down to see why they haven't come up yet? Don't let the firecrackers collapse the children!" Li Hui's heart went up and down, and Wang Zhenhua hurried down to take a look, Wang Jinshan couldn't hold his breath when he heard it, and ran to the balcony to look down, but it was dark below, and he couldn't see anything.
"It's only been a few minutes! What can happen to Gu Yiming with his father! You two elders are really!" Wang Zhenhua was afraid of the cold and didn't want to go down, so he put on his shoes slowly, and urged Li Hui anxiously, "You should hurry up!"
Just as he was talking, the door opened, and Gu Yiming came in out of a hurry, followed by Gu Jialiang, holding a box in his hand.
"Yiming! Why did you come up? Grandma was worried about dying!" Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Gu Yiming in her arms, and helped him take off his hat, "Hey, Xiao Gu, whose box is this? Why did you still come back with the box?"
"Mom!" I saw Gu Jialiang flash to the side, and Wang Heli came out from behind him.
"Heli! Oops, you stinky boy! You still know to come back!" Li Hui was surprised and delighted, and ran over in two steps, stretching out her hand to pat her son.
"Uncle is back! Uncle is back!" Gu Yiming took off his padded jacket and changed his slippers, and just now in the elevator, Wang Heli told him that he had bought him a bunch of toys and good-looking comic books in Guangzhou, and would find them out of the box for him when he finished eating.
"Oops! The weather is bad, the plane is delayed!" Wang Heli explained as he undressed.
"You can't make a phone call first, you have to be different from others!" Wang Jinshan snorted from his nose, but everyone could hear it, and Wang's stubborn mood suddenly improved.
"Isn't this trying to surprise you? Dad, I heard that you miss me very much, so I'm coming back quickly!" Wang Heli came over with a hippie smile and hugged Wang Jinshan coquettishly.
"I miss you, I think you can't even think about it!" Wang Jinshan tried hard to push Wang Heli away, but he was hugged tightly, and he was almost out of breath!
"Oh yes, you two don't have any more numbness!" Wang Heli hurriedly washed his hands, and the dishes were cold for a while!" Wang Zhenhua shouted with a smile.
"Yes, yes! Hurry up and eat, watch the Spring Festival Gala after eating! This is really a reunion!" Li Hui rubbed her hands happily, it's so good! This year is a reunion!
"Come, at this moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, let us invite our head of the family, Mr. Wang Jinshan, to give a speech!" After Wang Zhenhua waited for everyone to take their seats, he began the annual Chinese New Year's Eve dinner process.
"Hmm!hmm!" Wang Jinshan cleared his throat, "Today is January 25, 2009, the Year of the Rat, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone knows that in the past year, there have been many major events in our country, there are sports events, there are disasters, but the people of our whole country are united and are not afraid of hardships and dangers......
"Dad, Dad, close it, put it away!" Wang Zhenhua reminded in a low voice.
Wang Jinshan continued with a wide-eyed glare: "I believe that with the unity of the people of all nationalities throughout our country, we will certainly ......."
"When the old man finishes his speech, it is estimated that the dishes on this table are all cold!" Wang Zhenhua complained to Gu Jialiang in a low voice.
"Today is a rare reunion Chinese New Year's Eve for our family, for the days to come, I will not say more, I hope you work with peace of mind, study hard, our whole family is healthy and safe, come, cheers!"
Wang Jinshan raised the red wine in his hand, "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" everyone agreed, "Grandpa, I want to clink glasses with you!" Gu Yiming raised the coconut water in his hand, "I'm dying of hunger!"
"Hey! Don't say bad words during the New Year! Come, grandpa will clip you a big chicken leg!" Wang Jinshan looked at his grandson with a smile.
"Dad! This stewed chicken with mountain mushrooms is fragrant! You don't know, this south, although there are many delicious foods, but I am greedy for this bite, and finally I eat it again!" Wang Heli stuffed his mouth full of chicken, and said vaguely.
"Slow down, don't choke!" Li Hui looked at Wang Heli lovingly, I haven't seen him for almost two years, Wang Heli is thinner than before, and he has matured a lot.
"If you want to eat at home, won't you come back early?" Wang Zhenhua sandwiched a piece of braised carp and put it in his brother's bowl.
"Sister, you don't know, I plan to come back after a lot of things to do, and to check out, and to deal with furniture!
"What? Check out, send luggage, Wang Heli, aren't you going back?" Wang Zhenhua was stunned!
"Aang!"
"Great, son, you finally figured it out!" Li Huimei smiled.
