Chapter 225: The Old Lady's Wish
In the TV in the living room, the grand scene before the official start of the Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast live, and everyone is beaming with joy on their faces, welcoming the traditional program belonging to the Chinese together.
At half past six, Su Mian prepared the last dish.
Everyone helped bring all the dishes to the table, and the rectangular rosewood table was full.
Su Mian's dishes are exquisitely cooked, delicious to eat, and look even more pleasing to the eye.
The 12 dishes are Babao Chicken Soup, Sixi Meatballs, Braised Elbow, Cumin Lamb Chops, Steamed Hairy Crab, Preserved Meat, Fried Lotus Root, Stir-fried Bacon with Asparagus, Tofu Pot in Soup, Pine Nut Corn, Boiled Choy Heart, and Cold Radish Skin.
The reason why a cold radish peel is added is mainly for appetizing.
There are too many meat dishes tonight, and Su Mian is worried that they will get tired of it.
In the end, there was also a fruit platter, and Su Mian cut a small portion of every fruit in the house, put it in a large fruit bowl, a full plate, and placed it in a corner of the dining table, which looked very good.
The best white wine and red wine were put aside, and Su Mian also squeezed juice for Zhong Yibai.
As soon as the clock rang at seven o'clock, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began, the old man raised the wine glass in his hand, looked at the children around him, and looked relieved, "Your mother and I don't ask much, I just hope that you are safe and healthy, and everything goes well is enough!"
The old lady added, "I have one more wish,"
When she said this, she looked at Su Mian, "I'll find someone to watch a good day tomorrow in the spring, let the second child and Mianmian get married, and then hurry up and give birth to a little doll for me to play with." ”
Zhong Yibai, who was sitting next to her, immediately raised his head and asked her, "Can the little doll still play? ”
The old lady raised her hand and touched his little head, with a melancholy expression, "Why did such a little little doll suddenly grow so big?"
Zhong Nanyang stopped the old lady inexplicably sad in time, and raised the wine glass, "First of all, I want to thank my second sister-in-law for her hard work to make the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, a large table full of color and fragrance, I am now under pressure, if I find a daughter-in-law who can't cook in the future, will Ms. Xiao Luo be dissatisfied?"
The old lady glanced at him and said quietly, "I have only one request for you to find a daughter-in-law." ”
Everyone looked at the old lady curiously, and when everyone saw her expression of resentment, they slowly said, "As long as it's a woman, I'll be content." ”
Su Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Zhong Yibai laughed the most exaggeratedly, "Hahahaha, grandma, you are so funny, is my uncle's daughter-in-law not a woman or a man?"
Zhong Nanyang couldn't help gritting his teeth, "My taste is normal!"
The atmosphere was immediately lively, the TV in the restaurant was also on, and everyone was chatting while watching the TV while eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
The longer you eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the better.
The family ate from seven o'clock to half past ten, and the men in the family drank a lot of wine except for Zhong Yibai's child.
Zhong Nanyang was drunk, and he pulled Zhong Nanjun and Zhong Nanzhao to play mahjong.
The old lady is a big fan of mahjong, and as soon as she heard that she was playing mahjong, she didn't rush to wash the bowl with Su Mian, so she went to the living room.
Su Mian quickly washed the pots and pans, cleaned up the kitchen, took off the apron on his body and went upstairs.
Although the best range hood is installed in the kitchen, there is still some oil smoke on the body.
Su Mian went back to the room, took a shower, changed his clothes and went downstairs again.
I went to the kitchen to make a pot of Pu'er and flower tea, brought it to the coffee table in the living room, poured a cup for everyone and brought it over, and then sat down next to Zhong Yibai.
Zhong Yibai was grabbing the red envelope in the WeChat group, and he shouted happily while grabbing it, "Ahhhh ”
I was busy before, and my phone was put directly upstairs in the bedroom.
At this moment, Su Mian took it out and saw that there were already thousands of messages on WeChat.
There are New Year's wishes sent by others, and there are also chat messages in the group, Su Mian read all the New Year's wishes, and finally edited the New Year's wishes and sent them out.
After sending the message, she clicked on a WeChat group with only four people on it.
She, Yu Miao, Shen Ruhua, Xi Mei.
The group is very lively, Ximei has just sent a red envelope, followed by Yu Miao, and Su Mian has sent one without saying a word.
Seeing that she was finally bubbling, all three of them immediately added her.
Yu Miao said, "I was just saying, if you don't come out again, I'll consider whether to call the police?"
Ximei said, "What are you busy with all day? I didn't answer the phone or reply to the messages, I thought your Mr. Zhong had abducted you." ”
Shen Ruhua, "Did you cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"
Su Mian couldn't reply, and finally replied unifiedly, "The maids at home are all on vacation, the old lady is old, I made the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, from morning to now, finally rested." ”
Ximei, "Zhong Nanshu married you, it is simply a blessing from the previous generation." ”
Su Mian," said his mother. ”
Yu Miao gave her a look of contempt, "That's all you have." ”
Shen Ruhua, "I'll go back to Beicheng tomorrow, do you want to make an appointment?"
"Okay, I'll pick you up. ”
"No, my brother-in-law has already said that he will pick us up. ”
Ximei, "It's so boring, I just added the junior high school classmates group and the high school classmates group, and I'm crazy to grab the red envelopes in it, but I still can't lift my energy, I feel like I'm old." ”
Yu Miao, "I added a group of elementary school classmates, and the screen was swiped wildly, and the school grass I had a crush on before was also there, and he just took the initiative to add me to WeChat." ”
Ximei, "Tut-tut, Comrade Xiaoyu, you have developed early enough, and you have started to play with secret crushes in elementary school." ”
Su Mian, "You have to be reserved. ”
Shen Ruhua, "If the other party is also single like you, then go on, I support you." ”
Su Mian was about to say something, and WeChat prompted a group invitation message.
She immediately clicked on it and saw that it was a group of high school classmates.
There are not many members in the group, only about two dozen people.
Su Mian accepted the invitation, she went in with her front foot, and Shen Ruhua also went in with her back foot.
The two beauties who were called Beicheng No. 1 High School came in together, and the people in the group, especially the male classmates, were extremely excited.
The leader of the group was the class leader of Su Mian's class that year, a male classmate named Li Jian.
He immediately sent a red envelope to thank the two beauties for accepting the invitation and giving him such a big face.
As soon as the male classmates saw that the class leader had started, they all sent red envelopes, and at this moment, people were still entering the WeChat group.
There are constantly new people entering the group.
Shen Ruhua has a lively personality, and soon mingles with the people in the group, Su Mian also said a few words, and immediately received many classmates to add her WeChat.
Anyone who knows, Su Mian accepts it.
Everyone in the group is sending red envelopes, Shen Ruhua has already sent several, Su Mian was about to send one too, and suddenly received a private chat voice from Shen Ruhua.
"Old Su," Su Mian heard her voice trembling slightly, "I saw Bai Yan." ”
Bai Yan, the man of the year in Beicheng No. 1 High School, the top science student of Su Mian's graduates.
It is also Shen Ruhua's first love, the two have been together since the second year of high school, although they are not in the same school after graduating from high school, they still did not break up, until four years ago, Shen Ruhua suddenly proposed to break up with Bai Yan, and then married Xiao Mingrui.
Bai Yan then went abroad and never returned.
Even the best friend who was with him back then lost contact.
After four years, he suddenly appeared in the group of high school classmates, which not only shocked Shen Ruhua, but everyone was shocked.
Li Jian explained in the group, "I only met Bai Yan a few days ago, and I learned that he only returned to the country at the end of the year, and now he is not only the president of Beicheng Medical University, but also the president of our Beicheng First Military Region Hospital. ”
Jiangcheng, apartment.
Shen Ruhua sat on the sofa in a daze, staring at the phone screen, looking at what Li Jian said above, tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
Shen Mu, who was watching TV on the side, inadvertently glanced at her, and when he saw her crying, he was so frightened that he immediately asked, "What happened?"
Shen Ruhua shook her head, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and didn't look at Shen's mother.
She got up from the sofa, turned around and walked towards the bedroom as she spoke, "Mom, Yiyi will be handed over to you tonight, and I will sleep first." ”
Mother Shen looked at her figure walking away and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I'm afraid I think of that man again.
It's been four years, so I just can't forget it.
......
After Bai Yan appeared, Shen Ruhua, who was originally very active in the group, never said a word again.
Bai Yan only sent the words 'hello everyone' when he first came in, and disappeared after sending a red envelope.
Su Mian also retreated, silently sending a message to Shen Ruhua, "Did he add you?"
Shen Ruhua, "No." ”
Su Mian knew that Shen Ruhua was in a bad mood, so he changed the topic, "Did Yi Yi sleep?"
"Not yet, playing with my dad in the toy room, I asked my mom to sleep with her tonight, and I've fallen asleep. ”
Su Mian, "What time is the plane tomorrow?"
"At eight twenty, my mother said to come back early, there are many relatives in Beicheng, and the third year of junior high school is my grandmother's 80th birthday, so there are a lot of things to prepare. ”
"Are you sure my uncle is going to pick you up?"
"It's OK, he's going to the airport early tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay, you go to bed early, I'm ready to wash and sleep. ”
"Good. ”
"Don't overthink it. ”
Shen Ruhua didn't reply to her, Su Mian thought she was already asleep, so she didn't care anymore.
The dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year, the old lady has already prepared them, they have been put in the refrigerator, and they will be cooked early tomorrow morning.
I got up too early today, and I was busy all day, and after resting here, Su Mian was tired and sleepy, and it was uncomfortable.
finally couldn't stand it anymore, she asked Zhong Yibai, who was grabbing the red envelope on the side, "Yibai, are you sleepy?"
Zhong Yi didn't raise his head, "Don't be sleepy, Su Su, if you're sleepy, go to sleep, leave me alone, I'm going to keep the New Year for my grandparents tonight." ”
Su Mian smiled, raised his hand and touched his little head, "Then I'll go to sleep, and you can talk to your father in a while." ”
"Good. ”
