The meal was a joyful meal, and the family also staggered and raised their glasses from time to time. Of course, everyone also did what they could, except for Chu Tianqi and Chu Lirui, who have always been in the liquor to the end. Others either drank a little less liquor, or drank it very slowly, and Niuniu naturally didn't drink a drop of wine.

The whole meal was almost over, and Niuniu still didn't say why she liked grandpa to talk. In the end, after her brother-in-law Chu Lirui's repeated questions, even with sarcasm, she said softly: "It's actually very simple. When grandpa speaks, it is the time of the New Year, so you can eat well, dress well, and get New Year's money. ”

Everyone burst into laughter. Chu Lirui even pointed at Niu Niu and teased: "Little gluttonous cat, money fan." ”

Unexpectedly, Niuniu said seriously: "Alas, you adults are so hypocritical, unlike what we think and say." By the way, uncle, you're not an adult, you don't even have a daughter-in-law!"

"Haha......" The crowd laughed again.

"Uncle, don't laugh at the cheap, you are the same. Niu Niu pointed at Chu Tianqi and said.

Hearing Niuniu's wonderful quotations, Chu Lirui was already laughing and couldn't straighten his waist, and everyone was also laughing. But Chu Tianqi's face was flushed, I don't know if it was because he was embarrassed or because he was drinking.

There are so many people who don't worry about food and clothing, and they have a lot of money, but they don't feel relaxed all day long, of course, there are many reasons. But a considerable number of people are because they can't enjoy this kind of family fun, especially the joy brought by having a little "elf" of the next generation. Just like Niuniu, she is sensible like a little adult for a while, and she is so innocent for a while, anyone in such an environment will be happy, at least she can be a lot more relaxed.

……

Chu Lijuan and her mother You Chunmei cleaned up and washed the dishes and chopsticks. Chu Tianqi and Chu Lirui put the tables, chairs and benches, and accompanied their father to sit on the kang to watch TV, and of course, there was also that weird little "elf" - Niuniu.

It's just seven o'clock, and it's still news broadcast time. What is broadcast on TV is some news about the New Year, there are customs about the New Year in various places, and there are flavored snacks from all over the motherland. There is also the indispensable content, that is, the people who still stick to their jobs during the festival, there are workers, intellectuals, businessmen, people who are far away from the motherland and working hard in a foreign land, and our loveliest people - soldiers, armed police fighters, and so on.

"Ding Rang", a crisp bell rang.

Niuniu jumped off the kang for the first time, picked up the mobile phone on the counter, and picked it up: "Hey...... Who am I? Let me ask you who you are first?" As she spoke, she covered her mobile phone and said to Chu Tianqi, who was asking her for her mobile phone, "It's a woman, what is it called." ”

Chu Tianqi understood that it must be Ning Junqi. So he made a tiger in the face and said: "Niuniu, give it to me quickly, this is the leader's phone, otherwise the leader will kill me." ”

When Niuniu heard this, her little face changed, she thought about it, and gave her phone to Chu Tianqi.

Chu Tianqi had already changed his shoes at this time, he took his mobile phone, and said as he walked out, "Hello, I'm Chu Tianqi." ”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Ning Junqi's voice came: "Who was the girl just now?" I could hear that her voice was full of doubt.

Chu Tianqi had already walked out of the house and came to the courtyard, he thought about it, made a grimace, and said, "She, she is my little baby." ”

"What, little baby, when did you meet, and what is her name?" Ning Junqi's voice was very eager.

She ...... I've known her since she was born, and I still hold her a lot. Chu Tianqi said as he listened to the reaction on his phone.

Chu Tianqi could hear that Ning Junqi on the other side was panting, as if he was very angry. He was afraid of self-defeating, so he hurriedly said, "Her name is Niu Niu." ”

Ning Junqi's sharp voice suddenly came from the mobile phone: "Chu Tianqi, I'm not done with you." Although the voice was high, it was full of coquettish voices, "You said it was your little niece." Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Chu Tianqi said eloquently: "You didn't let me say it." Besides, my previous words were not wrong, she was originally our little baby, and as soon as I came back, she pestered me and asked me to hold her. ”

"You...... You're using strong words. You're deliberately angry with me, you're dead. Ning Junqi's voice was sweet, and the sugar content was very high.

"Hehe, the main thing is that I didn't expect my phone to work. When I received your call, didn't I speak incoherently and unknowingly with excitement?" Chu Tianqi laughed, and then changed the topic, "Is it snowing there?"

"No, it's all rain and snow, it melts when it lands, the road is wet and slippery, and I hate it to death. Ning Junqi's voice was full of helplessness.

Chu Tianqi smiled and said, "Hehe, it's snowing here, and there are already more than ten centimeters of snow on the ground, listen." As he spoke, he walked up and down on the ground, making a crunching sound, "Do you hear that? Are you envious?"

"Then I heard a big bear on the other side, snorting and panting, walking back and forth on the ground, making a clattering sound. Ning Junqi's grinning voice came, and then his voice was full of resentment, "God, too, it hasn't snowed much in winter, and it snowed so heavily when I just went home, it's so unfair." ”

Chu Tianqi rolled his eyes and said into his mobile phone: "It's better to act if you are excited, if you are envious, you can come here, I welcome you on behalf of the whole family! Welcome to you, the head of the township, the big ...... Belle. Then he smiled, "Of course, the whole village and the whole village welcome you." ”

"Really, why do I sound so hypocritical?" Ning Junqi giggled and said, "You must have blushed when you said this, I felt it." ”

Chu Tianqi is a flurry, this is also amazing, and he was about to answer, when he suddenly felt a cold neck. He hurriedly turned around and found Niuniu right behind her, with a snow ball in her hand.

"Niuniu, what are you doing?" Chu Tianqi pretended to scold.

Niuniu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I didn't do anything, my uncle asked me to do this." Uncle, are you talking to the leader on the phone?"

"Yes. Chu Tianqi replied, "Go back quickly, I still have something to say." ”

"Oh, I want to apologize to your leaders, because what I just said is a bit inappropriate. "Niu Niu is a serious way.

"What do children know, hurry back, don't mess around. Chu Tianqi ordered.

"Hmph, look down on people. If you don't ask me to apologize, then you don't want to make a good call. As she spoke, she raised the snow ball in her hand.

Chu Tianqi knew that Niuniu was threatening to make snow into his neck. He wasn't afraid of this, as long as he paid attention, she couldn't get the snow into her neck no matter what, but if she kept making trouble like this, she wouldn't be able to make a phone call.

"Are you really apologetic?" asked Chu Tianqi.

Niuniu said solemnly: "A gentleman's word." ”

"Okay, then you have to count. Chu Tianqi confirmed again.

Niuniu nodded heavily and held out her hand.

Chu Tianqi had no choice but to bend down and give the phone to Niuniu.

Niuniu held the mobile phone, quickly walked to the side, put on a smile, and said into the phone: "Hello, may I ask who you are? I am Niuniu, the niece of Deputy Township Chief Chu." What should I call you?"

Ning Junqi's voice came: "I'm Ning Junqi, just call me Auntie." ”

Ning Junqi's voice was very high, and Chu Tianqi also heard it, obviously the sound of the mobile phone hands-free. I don't know if Niu Niu deliberately pressed it, or accidentally touched it.

"Ning...... Oh, you're Mayor Ning, right? Do I have to call you aunt?" Niu Niu said into the phone.

Chu Tianqi walked over and was about to snatch the mobile phone in Niuniu's hand. Niu Niu made a grimace and shook the snow ball in her other hand, meaning to warn Chu Tianqi not to act rashly.

Ning Junqi's voice trembled a little: "Niuniu, you can't call it nonsense." I'm your uncle's leader. "I could hear her mood swinging.

"I didn't call it nonsense, our teacher Liu said that my uncle likes you, and you like him too. Niu Niu grinned, "Of course, I don't think my uncle is normal." When he saw your phone call just now, he suddenly jumped out of the house and came into the courtyard, looking sneaky. ”

"Giggles" Ning Junqi's laughter came, and Niuniu also kept laughing.

When Niuniu was proud, Chu Tianqi snatched the phone at once. Niuniu hurriedly shook the snow ball in her hand, but still didn't throw it over, and then went back to the house stupidly.

Seeing Niuniu enter the house, Chu Tianqi turned off the speakerphone and said into the phone: "Don't listen to her nonsense, the child is from home." ”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Ning Junqi's voice came out: "What, do you have a different opinion?"

Chu Tianqi didn't know what she was referring to, just a "hehe" smirk. After a while, he said: "This snow is so good, spring planting is no problem to protect moisture." ”

"Yes, Ruixue Zhaofeng Year!" Ning Junqi's voice suddenly became very happy, "We can also have a stop year." Yesterday I dreamed of a fire, but this time it's okay, no matter how loud the cannon is, I'm not afraid. ”

"Hmm. Chu Tianqi replied: "I have never been steady, but now it's okay." ”

"Uncle, aunt, how are you?" asked Ning Junqi.

"It's all good, our family just finished eating, and my dad drank several glasses of wine. Chu Tianqi said into the phone, "By the way, my mother also asked me why I didn't bring my daughter-in-law back." ”

"You...... What does this have to do with me?" Ning Junqi said coquettishly.

"You know, my mom says all day long, 'Miss Ning is a good girl'. Chu Tianqi said sensationally, "It's only been more than a day since we were separated, and I feel like time has passed for a long time, and I don't think about it." ”

"Giggles, you're memorizing the lines. Ning Junqi said with a smile, and then she changed the subject, "Oh, thank you for giving me New Year's greetings, and I also wish you and your comrades a happy New Year." ”

Chu Tianqi didn't understand why Ning Junqi's words didn't match the preamble, at this moment, there was a sound of the door opening on the mobile phone, and then a man's voice: "Qiqi, haven't you finished the phone call yet?" followed by Ning Junqi's voice: "Dad, my colleagues in the unit give me New Year's greetings." Then, Ning Junqi's voice came again, "Goodbye, I'm hanging." ”

There was a "beep" sound on the phone, and the other party hung up the phone. Chu Tianqi woke up at this time, and the phone call just now was disturbed by the future "old man".

Chu Tianqi chuckled, put away his mobile phone and walked into the house, only then did he remember that he had forgotten to ask Ning Junqi "When did you go back?" just now.

……

After Chu Tianqi returned to the house, he questioned Niu Niu: "Why are you talking nonsense on the phone? ”

Niuniu said with a heartfelt voice: "I said it." But I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a little girl, so there's no need to keep the agreement. ”

"You ......" Chu Tianqi was choked by Niu Niu and was speechless.
