This year's Chinese New Year's Eve of the old Ren family is particularly lively.

is not only because his son Ren Pingsheng brought back a girlfriend, but also because of his aunt Ren Xueping's family of three.

The two families are usually next door, standing at their own door shouting, the other party can be heard at home, the more lively the Chinese New Year's Eve at this time, the better, simply the two families together for the New Year.

Moreover, Ren Pingsheng and Yang Zhenghe are now both working in Hanhai, and they rarely come back once a year, and of course they have to get together more.

So tonight's Ren family is very numerous, and it is also very lively, which makes the originally empty villa full of laughter.

The two families sat around the large round table made of mahogany in the living room, tasting the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner cooked by Ren's father, while telling each other what they had gained and seen this year, and the air was filled with a red and fiery atmosphere.

Although they now live in Hanzhou, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is still in accordance with the customs of Wenzhou, and naturally the traditional "perfect and perfect" is indispensable.

"Why is it called perfect?"

Gao Yuanyuan faced this table of deliciously colored dishes and said curiously:

Ren Pingsheng pointed to a bowl of red soy sauce meat and said, "This is called red and hot." ”；

Pointing to a bowl of eel, he said, "This is called more than a long year." “；

These two bowls of dishes are quite vivid, Gao Yuanyuan nodded while looking at them.

Wait until Ren Pingsheng pointed to a bowl of clams and said, "This is called a lot of money." Gao Yuanyuan looked at the plain and unpretentious clams, and her face was suspicious.

Ren Pingsheng smiled and pointed to the lines on the clams: "Wenzhou people rely on the sea to eat the sea, this is the way to make money." “

Gao Yuanyuan finally couldn't help laughing.

Next, the pig's ears are called "ear root purity", the soy sauce chicken is called "smelling the chicken dancing", and the three-color egg is called "three-color auspicious cloud......

Some of the names of these dishes are homophonic, some are imaged, but they are all witty and interesting, Gao Yuanyuan listened to it, laughed together, laughed so much that she leaned forward and back, and hurriedly covered her small mouth with her soft white slender hand, panting and saying:

"It's fun, you Wenzhou people really know how to name dishes. ”

Yang Zhenghe said with a smile on the side:

"Yuanyuan, you don't know, in the past, our Wenzhou people were very poor and couldn't afford to eat very high-end food, but every family gave these home-cooked dishes an auspicious name, on the one hand, to give themselves a kind of comfort, and on the other hand, to pray for blessings and wealth. Therefore, you see that the names of these dishes symbolize auspicious words such as reunion, longevity, peace, auspiciousness, happiness, and wealth. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner reflects not only the dishes, but also the culture of the Wenzhou people. ”

Gao Yuanyuan listened carefully to Yang Zhenghe's explanation, although she was well-read and knowledgeable, but these ordinary folk customs were the first time she had heard of them, so she felt very novel, and also had a new understanding of the Ren family, her face was solemn, she nodded lightly, and said:

"Well, thank you Uncle Yang for your teachings, I think every dish is every ordinary Chinese's yearning for a happy and beautiful life, and I will definitely remember them." ”

Ren Pingsheng added on the side: "Wenzhou is narrow and crowded, with many mountains and few flat lands, which has always been unsuitable for living and breeding. Therefore, Wenzhou people have to go out as soon as they grow up and go outside to make a living. Men in Wenzhou will be looked down upon if they stay at home. Only by going out can we accumulate wealth and get ahead in our hometown. “

Although he said this lightly, Gao Yuanyuan's gaze stayed on Ren Pingsheng's face for a long time.

Because she knows that this is not only the fate of the man in Wenzhou, but also the fate of the man in front of her.

And Ren Pingsheng was able to get to this position today, I don't know how much effort he has put in.

She loved this man even more.

......

Although Gao Yuanyuan grew up in Hanhai City, there are some differences between the traditional dishes of Wenzhou and the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, some dishes Gao Yuanyuan has not been exposed to before, one of the "double flavor clams" is cooked with steamed blue crab and potsticker meat, with coriander and ginger shreds, the color is gorgeous, the meat is like cream, and the taste is abnormal.

But this kind of river fresh meat practice, Gao Yuanyuan has never been in contact, she looked at the snow-white fat meat, I don't know whether to put down the chopsticks, it is a little difficult to hold, Ren Pingsheng hurriedly taught her hand in hand, Gao Yuanyuan according to what her boyfriend said, shrugged the thin white nose, carefully picked up a small piece, lightly opened the red lips, exposed the white teeth, took a bite gently, swallowed it very carefully, chewed a few times softly and slowly, and said with a moving jade face:

"It's really delicious. ”

Ren's mother diligently put vegetables into Gao Yuanyuan's bowl on the side, and kept saying in her mouth:

"Yuanyuan, eat more if you like, see you so much, pay attention to supplements. ”

Although Gao Yuanyuan couldn't eat so much, she still smiled politely:

"Okay, thank you, aunt, I'll just come by myself, you can eat first. ”

Ren's mother is a solid-eyed person, she must show who she is satisfied with, although Gao Yuanyuan repeatedly excused herself and thanked her, she still insisted on picking up vegetables, and instantly filled her small bowl.

Ren Pingsheng knew his girlfriend's amount of food, and when he saw her facing those dishes, although he felt embarrassed, he didn't want to disappoint Ren's mother, so he tried his best to eat it, and quickly stood up to solve the siege:

"Mom, I haven't eaten this dish for a long time, and I want to eat some too. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked them into Gao Yuanyuan's bowl, leaving only a little bit for her.

Ren's mother turned to care about her son at this time, and she repeatedly asked Ren Pingsheng to eat more.

Gao Yuanyuan watched Ren Pingsheng trying to pretend to eat under his mother's instructions, and couldn't help laughing from the bottom of her heart.

My boyfriend's family, although it is a little noisy, although it is a little trivial, although it is a little ordinary, but there is also a lot of warmth and a lot of love, and it is fun to spend the New Year here.

"Hey, come on. ”

Ren's father shouted in his mouth and served a large plate of fragrant dumplings.

"Hey, it's dumplings. ”

"Big brother, we Wenzhou people, when is it popular to eat dumplings. ”

Ren Xueping couldn't help but wonder.

"Pingsheng said that Yuanyuan's family is from the north, and I am afraid that she will not be used to our Wenzhou cuisine, so I asked me to prepare some dumplings early. ”

Dad Ren wiped his hand on the apron, pointed to the dumplings and said:

"This is mutton filling, Texiang, one of my former comrades-in-arms is from the north, I learned from him. Yuanyuan, you can taste it. ”

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Ren Pingsheng's eyes and was so moved that she couldn't speak.

This man is so considerate, don't look at him most of the time he looks like a strong man, but in fact, he is very careful and thoughtful in private.

The first time I went to my boyfriend's house for the New Year, my boyfriend arranged everything properly, which was more comfortable than in his own home.

What reason is there for such a man not to marry him?

......

The dishes were all served, Ren's father also sat down, he opened a bottle of red wine brought by Yang Zhenghe, and the two drinking friends drank it one by one.

Ren Pingsheng can not drink without drinking now, so his father and uncle don't trouble him, he accompanies Gao Yuanyuan, while teaching her some Wenzhou folk culture, while chatting with his aunts and cousins.

Of course, the core of the topic of the whole table is none other than Gao Yuanyuan.

Aunt Yang Zhenghe and Gao Yuanyuan had dealt with each other when they were in Hanhai City, and they were quite familiar with each other; Aunt Ren Xueping and cousin Yang Ruoxi both met Gao Yuanyuan for the first time, and they both felt novel and curious, and many topics also revolved around her.

In their eyes, this young lady from Hanhai City is tall and beautiful, not to mention, but also has an outstanding temperament, dignified atmosphere, and her words and deeds make people like it when they see it. Yang Ruoxi is just that, Ren Xueping is older after all, her vision and experience are relatively good, she can judge that her family conditions are very good just by the clothes on Gao Yuanyuan's body, and Gao Yuanyuan talks elegantly and generously, obviously has received a good family education since childhood.

In Yang Ruoxi's heart, the most curious thing is the love story between her brother and this high sister, so she asked at the beginning:

"Sister Gao, how did you and your brother meet?"

Gao Yuanyuan and Ren Pingsheng looked at each other and smiled:

"We were college classmates. ”

As soon as she said this, Ren Xueping immediately paid attention, she had heard her nephew mention it before, she had a lover in college, she was very good, and her family conditions were also very good, but she did not dislike Ren Pingsheng's family background at all, and the relationship between the two was very stable for four years.

Although Ren Xueping didn't know much about her nephew's college sweetheart, from the way he mentioned the girl, it could be seen that the nephew had a deep affection for that girl, and it was very important that she didn't want to marry.

Could it be that the girl surnamed Gao in front of her is her nephew's college sweetheart?

It looks quite similar.,It looks very much in line with the nephew's aesthetics.,At first glance, you know that it's a girl from a good family.,And the relationship with the nephew is very good.。

When Ren Xueping was thinking, Yang Ruoxi was already envious and exclaimed:

"Wow, you're campus lovers, that's amazing. ”

As soon as she said this, Ren Pingsheng and Gao Yuanyuan both showed a little embarrassment on their faces, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Ren Pingsheng, and saw that he didn't mean to correct it, so she said:

"We really started talking after we graduated. ”

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hand and put it on Gao Yuanyuan's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Only when we have experienced the ups and downs together can we know who true love is. I was lucky enough to meet you at the right time, not one step earlier or one step later. ”

He hesitated in answering that question just now, with Gao Yuanyuan's discernment, of course, he could see what he was worried about, and he was originally a little unhappy in his heart, but Ren Pingsheng's just right affectionate confession made Gao Yuanyuan's heart as sweet as eating honey, which perfectly made up for the previous unhappiness, she gently leaned on her boyfriend's arm, tilted her head sideways and said:

"I'm lucky to have met you. ”

The sweet interaction between the two made the elders of the Ren family naturally look at it in their eyes and be happy in their hearts.

Yang Ruoxi is still a little girl, she is even more happy, and she slapped her face and said:

"Brother, you and Sister Gao are so sweet, sweet to death. ”

Ren Pingsheng hugged Gao Yuanyuan's fragrant shoulders and said proudly:

"Love is just to be spoken. ”

His smug look made the audience laugh.

Ren Xueping was more careful, she didn't miss the previous embarrassment between Ren Gao and the others, and found a gap and asked:

"Yuanyuan, what are you doing now?"

These words hit Ren's mother's heart, and she quickly pricked up her ears to listen.

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said:

"I currently work in the Propaganda Department of the Hanhai Municipal Party Committee. ”

Ren Pingsheng interjected and added:

"Yuanyuan is still the section chief of the comprehensive department, and she is a section-level leader. ”

Gao Yuanyuan saw Ren Pingsheng smiling evilly, couldn't help but glance at him, and pinched him with her hand.

"Ouch!"

Ren Pingsheng bared his teeth, pretended to be in pain, and grinned:

"Section Chief Gao, spare your life. ”

Gao Yuanyuan saw him so scoundrel, funny and angry, I really didn't know what to do with him.

The interaction between the two of them, everyone saw it in their eyes, and they all laughed, and the air was full of joy.

But Ren's mother didn't care about anything else, she just heard that her son's girlfriend was a civil servant and a section chief, and she was very happy.

Although her dream of training her son to be a civil servant has not been fulfilled, her son can find a daughter-in-law of a civil servant, which is also very in line with Ren's mother's wishes.

In this way, Gao Yuanyuan's position in Ren's mother's heart couldn't be higher.

However, Ren Xueping sees it more deeply, she is also a person in the system and knows the rules in the system.

A little girl who has graduated from college for more than a year can become a full-fledged position, and this girl's family background is definitely not ordinary.

This Gao Yuanyuan is not small.

......

While the people of the Ren family were observing Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan was also observing all aspects of the family.

At the charity gala in Hanhai City, Yang Zhenghe's gentle, elegant, upright and peaceful temperament has left a good positive impression on Gao Yuanyuan, and his wife and daughter are also extraordinary when I see him today.

Although Ren Xueping has just recovered from a serious illness and her complexion is not as good as usual, whether it is her facial features or posture, it can be seen that she was a beauty when she was young, and she looks thin and thin, and her voice is not loud, but there is a kind of gentle and demure power on her body, which makes people naturally respect her, especially a pair of crystal clear eyes, which seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

Among so many women Gao Yuanyuan has seen, only her mother, Min Lin, can compete with her, which makes her more interested in Ren Pingsheng's aunt and more respectful of their Ren family.

Ren Pingsheng's cousin Yang Ruoxi, Gao Yuanyuan had a good impression of this little girl when she saw it for the first time.

Although she is 173 centimeters tall this year, she looks as slim as a little poplar, and her face, which combines the advantages of her parents, is also very smart, but Yang Ruoxi's heart is still an adolescent little girl, innocent, delicate and lovely, and very likable.

In addition, Ren's father's free and optimistic and Ren's mother's thrifty enthusiasm all made Gao Yuanyuan feel at home, and she lived very comfortably in Ren's house these days, without the sense of alienation and distance of the new daughter-in-law.

However, Gao Yuanyuan's performance these days is also perfect, take tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner as an example, in the face of this boyfriend's aunt's inquiry, she answered thoughtfully and politely, and did not leak; for her boyfriend's cousin's curiosity, she also fully satisfied within the scope of permission, and even some innocent questions from Yang Ruoxi, she also cleverly explained.

Such an IQ and EQ made Ren Xueping, who has always been more picky, nod secretly in her heart, thinking that her nephew's girlfriend can be regarded as the right one, her quality is very strong in all aspects, and she can get it anywhere.
