"Hey! Your kid is here too! The Chinese New Year's Eve is running to my house to eat!"

Gu Jiufeng has a hearty personality and loves to joke. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Old man, I'm here. Why, can you still drive me away?" Jiang Xiaobai smiled facelessly.

"It's a guest when you enter the door, can't I, Gu Jiufeng, even afford to invite you for a meal? You sit down for me, there are still a few dishes, and the meal will start immediately." After Gu Jiufeng finished speaking, he entered the kitchen again.

Gu Xi didn't see her aunt Gu Weiqin, and asked, "Grandpa Zhang, what about my aunt and uncle, why didn't you see them?"

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Chenggang and Gu Weiqin will come to Gu's house for the holiday. It didn't appear this year, which made Gu Xi feel abnormal.

"Your grandfather asked your aunt to go to her mother-in-law's house for the New Year. Zhang Chu briefly said the situation.

"But I think they'll be over there after they've had dinner in a minute. ”

Soon, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready, and Gu Weimin finally came out of the kitchen. He, the dignified deputy secretary of the provincial government, was busy at home with an apron, and he couldn't see the official display at all.

Jiang Xiaobai greeted Gu Weimin, and Gu Weimin responded lightly.

"Ouch, I forgot to get the wine, I'll get it. ”

Every year during the Chinese New Year, when the family gets together, Gu Weimin has to drink something. He never drinks when he's out and only occasionally drinks a little when he's at home. However, with his status, he can't eat a few meals at home all year round.

Gu Weimin came back with the wine, first poured a glass for Zhang Chu, and when it was Gu Jiufeng's turn, he hesitated.

"Dad, I don't think you should drink it. ”

Gu Jiufeng begged his son, "Weimin, you can give me some drink, it doesn't matter if you drink less." ”

Gu Jiufeng is addicted to alcohol, but now his body is not good, and he is much more restrained than before. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is happy, so he wants to drink some too.

Gu Weimin looked at Jiang Xiaobai, "Xiaojiang, it's okay for my dad to drink less, right?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Secretary Gu, it's no problem." ”

"There is no secretary in the family. Gu Weimin smiled: "It's okay if you call me Lao Gu, and you can call me uncle." ”

"Uncle, just let the old man drink some, it's okay to drink less. Jiang Xiaobai said: "But don't give the old man anything too greasy, and the diet should be light." ”

Gu Weimin poured Gu Jiufeng half a cup at this time.

"Dad, don't drink it after drinking it like this. ”

Gu Jiufeng sighed: "Alas, I used to be in charge of you, but now that I'm old, it's your kid's turn to take care of me." ”

"Commander, you should drink less, your body is important. Zhang Chu said with a smile.

"Okay. Gu Jiufeng shook his head and smiled.

Jiang Xiaobai picked up his wine glass, got up and said: "I'm an outsider here, the new year is coming soon, I salute the two old men, uncles and aunts, I wish you good health and all the best." ”

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai drank it all.

"You drink slowly. Gu Xi tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"The kid drinks a lot and has the style of my youth. Gu Jiufeng smiled, looked at Gu Weimin, and said, "Weimin, according to our family's tradition, I have to say a few words every year at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but from this year, I don't plan to say it, this errand will be handed over to you later." Okay, let's talk to everyone. ”

"Dad, I'm not mentally prepared yet, you're too sudden. Gu Weimin said with a smile.

Gu Jiufeng said: "You are the deputy secretary of the provincial government, can't you give an impromptu speech?"

Of course, Gu Weimin is not impossible, his eloquence is well-known in the province. When the conference is held, I often take off the script and give an impromptu speech.

The old man gave him this task, which was equivalent to giving up the position of the head of the family.

Gu Weimin has been a leader outside for many years, and the leader at home is still the first day. He is not nervous, he is facing all the people he loves, as long as he says what he really thinks in his heart.

"A lot has happened in our family in the year that is about to pass. We regret that we graduated from college and went to work. My father was sick, and for the first time in my life, I had the feeling that the sky was falling. Thankfully, my father is still alive. I think there's nothing better than sitting together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner as a healthy family. That's all I have to say, eat, eat. ”

"Uncle, I really didn't expect you to be so good at cooking. ”

Jiang Xiaobai tasted a few bites and knew that Gu Weimin's cooking skills were not bad.

Zhuo Lijun said: "He is delicious and eats too much, and when he eats out of the door, he will make it himself." ”

Gu Xi said: "Mom, your cooking is not as delicious as Dad's cooking." You've got to keep trying!"

Zhuo Lijun said: "Mom is so busy with work, when Mom retires, Mom will cook it for you every day." I don't believe it, I can't be your father. ”

"Haha......"

The restaurant reverberates with the laughter of the family. This may not be a luxury for ordinary people, but for Jiang Xiaobai, it is an unusual luxury. In the years after his grandfather's death, he drunk himself every Chinese New Year's Eve. Only then will he be able to forget the pain and the loneliness.

When dinner was about to end, Old Man Gu, Zhang Chu, Gu Weimin and Zhuo Lijun all took out the red envelopes.

"We won't wait for the New Year's bell to ring. Come on, you two little dolls have a share. ”

Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Xi thanked several elders together.

Before dinner was over, Gu Weiqin came. Gu Weiqin had red circles under her eyes and tears on her face.

"Girl, what's wrong?" As soon as Old Man Gu saw that the girl came back alone, he knew that it must be an unpleasant trouble at her mother-in-law's house.

"Dad......"

Gu Weiqin cried out "wow".

"Weiqin, what's wrong with you?" Zhuo Lijun, who is a sister-in-law, hurriedly went up to comfort her.

Gu Weiqin cried sadly for a while before she stopped her tears and said with a sob: "Their Li family dislikes me for not being able to give birth to a child, and his parents are carrying guns and sticks in their words, which makes me feel uncomfortable." After the Chinese New Year, I will never go to their house again. ”

"What about Cheng Gang?" Gu Jiufeng asked.

Gu Weiqin said: "He didn't come, I quarreled with him, he always defended his parents, regardless of my feelings." If you can't give birth to a child, can you blame me alone? Isn't he responsible?"

Gu Weiqin and Li Chenggang have been married for many years and have never been pregnant. The Li family is such a lone seedling as Li Chenggang, waiting for Li Chenggang to spread its branches, and the old couple is looking forward to it, and now they are in their seventies, and they haven't been able to hold their grandson yet.

If Gu Weiqin was not Gu Jiufeng's daughter Gu Weimin's sister, the old couple of the Li family would have divorced Li Chenggang and her a long time ago. The old couple also know what Li Chenggang is relying on today, but sometimes they are still very angry when they think about it. (To be continued.) )
