The Hong family's dumplings are finished, and Lao Ding's wife is also looking for his granddaughter, because their family should also make dumplings.

But Ling'er was in love with the Hong family's candy and miscellaneous at this time, and she didn't want to go home.

But it doesn't matter, Wang Yunlin asked Hong Yanwu to quickly wrap half a catty of mixed mix and half a catty of high-grade candy, and asked Ling'er to take her home to eat, and immediately let the little girl be obedient.

Lao Ding's daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed, because every year Ding's family had the least New Year's gifts.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu can speak well, and bluntly said that there are children in the Ding family and the Hong family in the entire courtyard, and these two children are the children of the whole courtyard, so there is no need to be polite.

A few words resolved Aunt Ding's embarrassment, and the old lady thanked her without saying anything, Mei Zi'er Mei Zi'er took her things and pulled Ling'er to her house.

By this time, it was already dark, and Wang Yunlin gave another order, and the Hong family turned on all the lights in each house. This is also the rule, the lights are on all night this night, and there is no interruption.

With the official practice of the Hong family's kitchen, the aroma of stir-fried vegetables and stewed meat at home filled the courtyard, and at the same time, listening to the neighbors "tuk tuk" stomping on the dumpling filling, and the sparse sound of firecrackers outside, the atmosphere of the New Year immediately spread in the air.

After another hour, the long-awaited Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was finally served on the table one by one.

Different from the content of most families at that time, the specifications of the Hong family's reunion dinner can definitely be called top-notch.

Because this time, both in terms of quantity and quality, the New Year's dishes go hand in hand.

In terms of pressing the table side dishes, ordinary families have two people at most. But the Hong family has six dishes of "meat skin jelly", "small crispy fish", "fried salty shi", "mustard duner", "black bean sauce tofu", and "hawthorn mixed with cabbage", which is twice as many as others. It can be said that the unique "fruit plate" with the characteristics of Beijing is basically all together in terms of taste.

To say that the only thing that makes people feel a little regrettable is that the hawthorn fruit is still almost meaningful, and it is only applauded to replace it with a better quality quince.

The difference in the main dish is even more obvious, others make rice noodle meat, but they can't make braised pork, in addition, at most get a fried tofu ball, braised hairtail fish, and stewed chicken nuggets. That's it.

But the Hong family, because they didn't stamped the meat stuffing this year, the pork became rich. In addition, there are live chickens, seafood and lamb legs sent by the side family, silver carp and pheasants sent by "Little Baizi".

With such an abundance of materials, it is really lively. Wang Yunlin worked hard and used all her means.

Finally, there are "rice noodle meat", "vinegar stewed meat", "sloppy meatballs", "vegetarian mullet", "steamed fish", "stewed chicken", "braised sea cucumber", "fried lamb with green onions", "braised pork ribs", "home-style hairtail fish", "stir-fried pickled melon diced with pheasant", "braised cabbage with dried prawns and scallops". There are 12 dishes, plus a sweet dish called "Eight Treasure Rice" instead of rice cakes.

The Eight Immortals table couldn't be placed, so he had to temporarily move the folding table in Hong Yanzheng's house and put it together.

Such a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, of course, greatly surprised everyone, and also made the Hong family overjoyed. After sitting down around the table, except for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who could still remember to pour wine for everyone, the others couldn't take care of their eyes. They all looked at these dishes freshly, and they praised each other more than once.

Because there are many dishes, especially seafood dishes, that they have never seen before.

This scene was both happy and sad in Wang Yunlin's eyes.

She knows very well that after the fall of the Hong family, the children of the Hong family have not had a good life, and they have eaten and seen too little. In fact, her children are no different from the children of poor families.

Fortunately, this year, with the light of the third child and Quanzi, he had a decent year. Otherwise, even if she can do it again, there won't be so many materials in the past, right?

There is also Hong Lucheng who has a similar mind to Wang Yunlin. No one expected that when the wine glass was full in front of everyone, the first thing the old man said when he picked up the wine glass was, "This year's Chinese New Year is extraordinary, and everyone in our family is finally reunited." But on behalf of the whole family, I must first express my gratitude to the third child and Izumiko......"

Speaking of this, Hong Lucheng's gentle gaze stared at Hong Yanwu's face, and said word by word, "Without you, there would be no rich reunion dinner for our family, and without you, there would be no harmony and prosperity for our family now......

The whole family was stunned. Wang Yunlin even wiped away tears with a lot of feelings.

Because anyone can hear Hong Lucheng's tone in the end, he couldn't help but be excited, which clearly represents that this head of the family, who has always been reserved and reserved, is one of the few who is really emotional!

Of course, Hong Yanwu was far more surprised than everyone. His father had never affirmed him in public, which not only meant that his father no longer hated him, but also realized for the first time that he and his father could have been so close, they were father and son after all, and they were close relatives of blood......

In short, Hong Yanwu's perception of family affection was a little more for a while, and his whole body was like being cooked by fire. So on the spot, he stood up in a panic.

Wait until Chen Liquan wakes up and stands up. Both of them raised their wine glasses and bowed over in turn, "Thank you, Dad......"

There is no need to say anything, the strong family affection was drunk by the father and son!

However, after drinking this glass of wine, the atmosphere seems a little sad, and the mouth is really a little inappropriate on this day.

Fortunately, the other family members soon woke up and quickly eased the atmosphere.

Hong Yanzheng was the first to open up. "Okay, it's all a happy event, our family should be happy, or let's have a ...... together"

Hong Yanwen followed. "Just, don't forget about us. Let's welcome the third child and Izumiko home. I also wish my parents good health......"

Even Xu Manli and Hong Yanru persuaded Wang Yunlin. "Mom, don't be like this, it's ...... for the New Year"

In the end, Hong Jun made a fuss. "And me, and me! I come to wish my grandparents good health!"

After he finished speaking, he stood on the chair, picked up the wine glass in front of his father, and then toasted like an adult.

Thanks to Hong Yan's eyes, he quickly grabbed it. Then a slap was slapped on the head.

"Hey, nonsense! If this cup goes down, you kid will have to sleep for at least a year!"

"Hahaha......"

The child is indeed the happy bean of the family, and the room is full of laughter. And the joy of the New Year and reunion finally returned to the Hong family's dinner table......

Chinese New Year's Eve is not only for the Hong family, but also for the people of the whole country.

Before the reunion dinner of the Hong family, the sound of firecrackers was sparse at first, and then it became dense one after another, and now even if you don't leave the house, you can see the fire flashing from time to time in the sky.

This is enough to show that on such a night and at such a time, there are countless families and countless people like the Hong family, full of good wishes and passion for a good life.

But you also know that life will not be exactly the same template after all. There are some families, some people, in the same beautiful passages of life, but they have their own unique joys and sorrows.

And the specific taste of it, only they can know.

Unit 2, Building 2, Pingyuanli, Xuanwu District, Room 302.

At the dining table in the living room, Chang Xianzhang and Gu Lingye chatted while wrapping dumplings with three fresh fillings, and they were talking about the gossip that had been circulating recently.

For example, like the situation of the struggle between the two major factions in the upper echelons that is circulating outside. In addition, there is also the latest news posted on the "Xidan Democracy Wall" and who has proposed to rehabilitate the "April Five" Tiananmen Square incident. Later, I talked about going to university.

Chang Xianzhang couldn't help sighing, saying that it was a pity that he was too old and had passed the age limit. Otherwise, if he is a few years younger, he will definitely be able to pass the exam, and in that case, their situation will definitely be much better than now.

Speaking of this, the two of them looked at each other, and they were silent again. Because when it comes to time, they can't help but think of a line in the face of each other's aging faces, "It's been eight years, don't mention it!"

Yes, in the Peking Opera, Brother Chang of Orion, the extremely poignant and shocking sentence "It's been eight years, don't mention it" can't help but make them bitter from the bottom of their hearts.

They have been separated for eight years, dare to ask why the sky is so unfair to them, why the war of resistance has been won for eight years, and they are the only ones who are still struggling in the world, even if their love is deep, but they have not yet been married?

The one who felt the most indebted to the other party was naturally Chang Xianzhang, and he suddenly thought of what Hong Yanwu had persuaded him. Emotionally, he finally confided in his heart that he hadn't dared to speak for eight years.

"Ling Ye, our affairs can't be delayed any longer. You know best what my situation is, I don't know when my family's problems will be solved, maybe I will have to work as a temporary worker for many years. It would be a tragedy for you if you chose me as your life partner. But I don't want to hesitate anymore, I must say that I can't do without you anymore, you are already the most important person in my life. I just want to ask you, have you really thought it through?"

Caught off guard, Gu Lingye was really startled when she suddenly heard Chang Xianzhang's serious confession, but she was smart and immediately understood what he meant.

So, she blushed and said, "Do you still need to ask? I'll follow you for food." ”

Yes, do you still need to ask? A girl's family can do this step, who can not be moved? There is such a girl who becomes a lifelong partner, and there are no regrets in this life!

Chang Xianzhang was excited, completely forgetting that he still had flour in his hands, and took Gu Lingye into his arms.

While enjoying the taste of love, he also really has the courage to go hand in hand with each other and face the future together......
