Chapter 382: Chinese New Year's Eve
Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important day for Chinese people, both ancient and modern, no matter where the family is scattered or where they are, on this day, the heart will be towards one place - home!
The homeless look forward to a home, and the heartless are no longer human......
In the splendid Heshan community, the behemoth of the Jiang family is no different from ordinary people, and the family members have rushed back from all over the country to celebrate the New Year. Bayi Middle School?wen network? (1) (8) 8 (1) Z (8) .COM
Old man Jiang is a traditional and conservative person, who dares not to come back to accompany him to celebrate the New Year, in the new year, don't think that he can give you a good face.
But Jiang Yongshi, the eldest son of the new secretary of the Lanping Municipal Party Committee of Xiangxi Province, did not rush back because the new official was busy with affairs, but the old man Jiang was not angry, after all, his son has a special job, and he will not even have this awareness.
Anyway, the eldest daughter-in-law, Chang Huaixiu, came back with her eldest grandson Jiang Ke, and he was not satisfied.
The second son Jiang Yongsui served as the executive deputy mayor of Shantang City, Hebei Province, because he was not on duty this year, but he came back with his wife Yue Jiadi and daughter Jiang Shanna, but on the morning of the first day of the new year, he had to rush back.
The third son, Jiang Yongnian's family, is all in Minghai, so it is naturally impossible not to come. It's just that since the beginning of the new year, it has been a busy New Year's greeting activity, and when the time comes, I have to run all over the country, and I am afraid that it will be more tiring than usual work.
There is one thing that is particularly strange about the Jiang family, the old man of the Jiang family is obviously a businessman, but the eldest son and the second son all chose to enter politics, and only the youngest son went into business with him, and I don't know if it was due to his arrangement or the children's own choice.
In the third generation, the eldest son, the eldest grandson, Jiang Ke, has just graduated from college and is taking the postgraduate examination of Yan University.
The eldest grandson of the third son, Jiang Ming, was smart and naughty, clever and resolute when he was a child, just because he was spoiled too much, his heart was not strong, the older he was, the more erosive his behavior became, just when everyone was disappointed in him, a car accident made him reborn, although it was a pity to forget the past, but his family hoped that he would abandon the past, and go all the way to the present.
The youngest granddaughter Jiang Shanna is only eighteen years old, studying in the UK, because the Jiang family has three generations, just such a girl, so she usually spoils some, resulting in a pampered temperament, and a little rebellious, but also influenced by her mother, advocating Western culture, thinking and behavior patterns, basically Westernized, the last thing I want to come back to celebrate the Spring Festival, maybe she is the one.
caught up with that special era, and because of work, the second generation of the Jiang family was a child, and the people seemed a little thinner.
As an old man, who doesn't want the family to prosper? So when eating Chinese New Year's Eve, Old Man Jiang couldn't wait to point the finger at his grandson, "Xiao Ke, do you have a target?"
Chang Huaixiu was afraid that his son would be embarrassed, so he said with a smile, "Dad, Xiao Ke is only twenty-three after the New Year, and he is still young, so he is not in a hurry to talk about the object, it is better to finish his studies first." ”
"You can't delay your studies, and you can't delay the person you're talking to, and there's no conflict between the two. If you start late, the good girls will be snatched away by others. Old man Jiang said a few words to his daughter-in-law, and then looked at his grandson, "Xiao Ke, twenty-three is not small, when grandpa was as old as you, your father was weaned, so you give me a tight." ”
Jiang Ke supported his temples and looked at his grandfather, "Grandpa, I have a crush on a girl, and I am working hard to pursue it, and I don't know if I can succeed." ”
"It will definitely succeed!" Old Man Jiang's tone was firmer than his, "Our Jiang family must have confidence in speaking, isn't it just a girl, can it stump you?"
"I know, I'll do my best. Jiang Ke could only answer this sentence head-on.
After saying that, Old Man Jiang looked at Jiang Ming again, "What about you?"
"I'm trying to figure out how to marry them all back. Jiang Ming now naturally knows that this society is monogamous, but he can't marry just one, how to marry all his women back home is a problem he has been pondering for a long time.
It's just that as soon as he said this, the whole table was silent, everyone looked at him in unison, and finally Jiang Yongnian spoke first to reprimand, "Stinky boy, you dare to talk nonsense in front of your elders, and you don't know how to be polite!"
"Grandpa, am I wrong to tell the truth?" Jiang Ming knew that it was the old man who had the final say here, so he moved closer to his grandfather directly.
Old Man Jiang suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, he shouldn't have asked this grandson who had changed a lot, because since his grandson woke up from a car accident, he did one serious thing - chasing girls!
Now the grandson's problem is not that there are no girls around, but that there are too many girls, and he can almost make up two tables of mahjong, so why worry about him?
What he should be worried about is how to put away his painstaking efforts, instead of asking so worriedly as in previous years - empiricism kills people!
"Ahem!" coughed twice to resolve the embarrassment, and the old man Jiang looked at his grandson, who had a headache, "To tell the truth, it's true, but you also have to divide the occasion and the matter, and pay attention to it in the future." ”
"But I don't dare lie to my grandfather. "It's not that Jiang Ming is selling good, but his true words, when he sees his grandfather, he has nothing to say, this problem is something he had in his previous life.
"Ahem, that's a good boy. Old man Jiang didn't know whether to be happy or sad, looking at the inquiring eyes of the juniors, he couldn't be too partial, so he told Jiang Ming, "Grandpa, no matter how many women you have, you can handle it yourself." Grandpa only hopes that you can marry the girl of the Murong family, if you really can't do it, the girl of the Wen family can also do it. ”
Wen Jia?
Jiang Ming looked at his grandfather puzzled, in the past, the candidate for his granddaughter-in-law was still Murong Lan's heart, how long has it been, why has it changed?" "I heard that the Wen family and the Bai family have been engaged. ”
"They just have that intention, and they haven't made it official, so there's still a chance to change. "Old man Jiang naturally won't let his grandson do thankless things.
"The Wen family that my father said, but the Wen family in the western suburbs of the capital?" Jiang Yongsui was very interested in this matter.
Old Man Jiang nodded slightly, proving that his guess was correct.
Jiang Yongsui looked at his nephew, "Then Xiao Ming has to hold on tightly." ”
Since he chose to take a career in office, he paid more attention to the political resources that could help. The Wen family and the Murong family, he will naturally choose the Wen family, which is something that does not need to be considered at all. He believed that if the eldest brother was here, he would see the same thing as him.
The only thing that made him feel strange was how his nephew, who was once a waste, could hook up with the girl of the Wen family.
"We're just comrades-in-arms. No matter what they all think, Jiang Ming must show his attitude.
"Comrade-in-arms, have you joined the army?" Jiang Yongsui was a little unconvinced.
"I didn't join the army, but I just did something for the military by chance. There are some things that even my son can't tell, so Old Man Jiang didn't let Jiang Ming answer, he spoke first, and then looked at his grandson, "Xiao Ming, grandpa is not difficult for you, either of the two girls can ...... But if you can't bring any of them back, see how I clean you up. ”
Jiang Ming lowered his head and stopped talking, feeling that the elders' ideas were too utilitarian, and he didn't like it.
The old man had already expressed his position, and Jiang Yongsui didn't say much, but he secretly decided in his heart that he must pull the eldest brother and third brother and study how to promote the marriage of the Jiang family.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family divided into several tables to play cards. Old Man Jiang's rules, but twelve o'clock is not allowed to disperse.
When the Jiang family was busy playing mahjong and playing poker, the Murong family seemed a little deserted, not that they were not prosperous, but that after eating Chinese New Year's Eve, the big and small went out to play, and did not get together to celebrate the New Year, which is also the current situation of most families now.
Who wants to give up this great time and sit at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala with the elderly?
Sitting in the slightly deserted living room, Murong Qiushan's face did not have the joy of the New Year, but seemed to be preoccupied.
"Grandpa drinks tea. Murong Lanxin put the brewed tea in front of him.
Now in the family, except for him, the old man, there are only two granddaughters left, Kenshin went back to the room after eating, and he didn't even go to the appointment of a friend, and he didn't know what he was messing with.
Lan Xin is quiet and doesn't like to go out to join in the fun, so he will accompany himself every year to keep the New Year, perhaps this is the only thing that comforts him.
Looking at her outstanding granddaughter, Murong Qiushan sighed lightly in her heart, how good it would be if she were a boy......!
After drinking the tea made by his granddaughter, Murong Qiushan made a request, "Lan Xin, find a way to marry into the Jiang family, this is grandpa's only wish." ”
Murong Lanxin was silent, noncommittal, just fiddling with the tea set.
"Grandpa wasn't in a hurry before, but as soon as the girl from the Wen family appeared, grandpa had no bottom in his heart. Murong Qiushan sighed, knowing that his granddaughter had a very good idea, and it was not so easy to convince, "Maybe you don't understand why grandpa arranged it like this, and grandpa doesn't want to explain more, as long as you know, grandpa won't harm you." ”
After saying this, he got up directly and went back to the room, as for how much his granddaughter could listen to, he wouldn't think about it, he didn't mean to discuss just now, there are some things that must be done, and he believes that his granddaughter will understand.
The bell rang at twelve o'clock, Jiang Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang non-stop, and the text messages of the New Year's greetings made him a little unbearable, but he was not stupid, some people naturally wanted to see it first and return first, and he was very sincere, he always replied by hand, never copied and pasted.
He won't read the copy-pasted messages, they're all meaningless stuff anyway!
There was just one piece of information that made him quite concerned, just three words - I'm fine.
This message could not be replied to, and the exact number could not be found, but he vaguely guessed who she was, but he could only pray for her in his heart, hoping that everything was as she said.
Unlike his information explosion, Mu Xiaotian only received a few messages, and cried once when he saw one, although Jiang Mansion was big, he couldn't pretend that she was lonely and sad.
The only text message that warmed her heart was only four simple words - Happy New Year!
On this Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of miles away from the Ming Sea, under a sand dune, a woman silently left the computer room and asked the woman waiting outside, "Can't I say more?"
The woman told her, "Wait until you're stronger." ”
She was silent.
The woman said, "I'll see him soon, do you need to bring a message?"
She shook her head slightly, "What I want to say, I will tell him personally." ”
The woman smiled and turned away......
