At nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, the Chu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was about to begin, and dinner was not eaten on the kang, but on a round table placed on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In some areas, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten around midnight, which means saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year. In Yuchi County, people regard the dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve as the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

A large plate of bones was served with a fragrant aroma, a variety of stir-fried dishes were placed on the table, and each person had poured liquor or drinks into his glass. Everyone sat around and waited for the head of the family to congratulate the feast.

Chu Yuliang changed his state of not smiling at breakfast, with a smile on his face, looked at this, looked at that, and said, "Are you ready?"

"Grandpa, I'm waiting for you to speak, I'm hungry. Niu Niu grabbed Bai Dao, "If you don't hurry up, I'll say it for you." ”

"Niuniu, don't make trouble, listen to grandpa. Chu Lijuan glared at Niuniu.

Niu Niu made a face at her mother and stuck out her tongue.

Chu Yuliang picked up the liquor in his hand and looked at the family, and the others also picked up the large and small cups in their hands.

At this moment, the sound of motorcycles sounded at the door, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the courtyard. Just when everyone was wondering, a figure appeared in the courtyard, followed by the sound of "kicking", and the person entered the house.

The visitor was dressed in a down jacket and wrapped his head and face tightly with a scarf, revealing only two eyes, and a layer of hoarfrost on the eyebrows and the edges of the scarf. He was holding a large woven bag in one hand and a large bag in the other, standing on the ground panting heavily, his eyes staring directly at a person at the table.

At this time, Chu Tianqi and his brothers stood up, Chu Tianqi stared at the person who came and asked, "Who are you and what are you going to do." ”

The person who came pulled the scarf next to his mouth down: "I am the bolt, I am the ......"

"Bolt pillar ......" Chu Lijuan had already burst into tears, pounced on the person, and cried, "Why did you come back......

Everyone looked at each other, and Niuniu quickly hid in her uncle's arms, looking at everything in front of her in horror.

"You still know how to come back, why don't you die outside?" Chu Lirui took a step forward, pushed his sister away, grabbed the collar of the visitor, and said viciously: "My sister has been married to you for seven years, and she has been widowed for more than five years, and you have made my sister miserable." ”

The person hurriedly said: "Lirui, it's all my brother-in-law who is not good, I hurried back, and when I got home, I didn't see your sister and mother, so I asked someone else to send me here on a motorcycle, I ......"

"My sister doesn't have a man like you, so you just die outside. Chu Lirui's eyes widened.

"I, it's all my fault, I'm not human. As he spoke, he raised his right hand and whipped it in his face.

Chu Lirui didn't buy it: "Who to show it......?

"Tie Zhu, don't be like this, don't be like this, I don't blame you......" Chu Lijuan cried, dragging the right hand of the person who came, not letting him pull it down again.

Chu Lirui let go of the person who came angrily, and yelled at Chu Lijuan: "Sister, why are you so unwilling to call the shots for good people, you ......"

"Woo woo woo ......" Chu Lijuan hugged the visitor and cried vigorously.

"Alright, let's eat. Chu Yuliang, who had been watching, spoke, "I'll talk about it when I have something to say." ”

"Yes, yes, eat, eat. You Chunmei wiped away her tears, went out and took a pair of dishes and chopsticks and put them on the table.

Chu Lijuan immediately helped the person to tear off the scarf on his head, and helped him take off the down jacket on his body, this person everyone knows, it is Chu Lijuan's husband Liu Xuanzhu.

Liu Xuanzhu sat next to Chu Lijuan, but Niuniu changed to another position, looking at the man sitting next to her mother vigilantly.

Liu Xuanzhu raised his glass and said: "Dad, Mom, I haven't taken good care of Lijuan and Niuniu all these years, thanks to your help, I respect the second elder......"

"It's not your turn yet. Chu Lirui unceremoniously interrupted Liu Xuanzhu, but said to his father, "Dad, you can continue the banquet." ”

Chu Yuliang stood up, held a wine glass, glanced around everyone, and had a smile on his face: "It's the Chinese New Year today, and it's not easy for the family to reunite, thanks to the party's good policies and the country's rapid economic development." This first glass of wine is still wishing our great motherland prosperity. Cheers. ”

"Cheers. The crowd toasted and drank together.

Looking at the sullen Niuniu on the side, Chu Yuliang stroked her hair and said, "Niuniu, why didn't you mention the second cup?

Niuniu shook her head: "I'm not in the mood." Then, he said, "Let my uncle mention the bar, he is so good." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled: "I, Niuniu, if you don't mention the second cup, let Grandma mention it, how about it?"

"It's okay to respect your elders. Niu Niu nodded, squeezing out a smile.

You Chunmei stood up with a wine glass, her eyes were filled with tears, and she said slowly: "It's not easy to get all together today." I just thought that everyone was healthy, safe, and reunited, and they were better than anything else. With that, he raised his glass, raised his head and drank it. At the same time, tears rolled down her temples in her eyes.

The crowd followed suit and drank a second cup.

At the dining table, Chu Li Ruihu's face was raised, Niuniu also lowered her head, and the two women kept wiping the corners of their eyes, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.

"Ding Lingling", the phone on the cabinet rang. Niuniu jumped there all of a sudden, picked up the telephone receiver, "hey", and then said happily: "Auntie...... Our whole family is fine, and you have a good New Year, hehe, my uncle misses you...... I'm not talking nonsense, really. My uncle thinks you ......" Niuniu grimaced at Chu Tianqi as she spoke.

Chu Tianqi hurriedly snatched the microphone from Niuniu's hand and called "Junqi".

Niuniu said angrily, "Uncle is cheating", and sat back in her seat.

Ning Junqi's voice came from the microphone: "Tianqi, New Year's greetings to uncles and aunts, and New Year's greetings to your whole family." ”

"I also wish you the whole family a New Year's greeting, good health and family happiness. After speaking, Chu Tianqi asked, "Where are you?"

"Hmm...... Not to tell you, not at home anyway. Ning Junqi's voice was playful, "What are you doing?"

Chu Tianqi replied, "We are eating." ”

"Oh, then you can eat, remember to bring my blessings to the uncle, the aunt, and the whole family. Ning Junqi said this, and his voice lowered, "I miss you." ”

Chu Tianqi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said, "Me too." ”

"Giggle...... Do not say. Ning Junqi laughed and hung up the phone.

Putting the microphone on the phone, Chu Tianqi returned to his seat: "Dad, Mom, Junqi has a New Year's greeting for our whole family." ”

"What a good boy. You Chunmei said happily.

"Well, that's good. Chu Yuliang also nodded.

Niuniu suddenly interjected: "Uncle, tell me honestly, what do you mean by 'me too'? Is it that my aunt said 'I love you', or I just say 'I miss you', right?"

Chu Tianqi's face turned red again: "What do you know about a little brat?"

"Hehe, don't think I don't understand, I can see it, isn't that how it is played on TV? Niuniu shook her head and said.

Niu Niu's words amused everyone, only Chu Yuliang still had a serious face, but it could be seen from the finer wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that he was also smiling as much as possible to maintain his majesty as an elder.

Ning Junqi's call came at a very good time, which immediately aroused everyone's topic, and now the atmosphere is warm again. At least Niuniu was much happier, and the third glass of wine was also brought by Niuniu.

You Chunmei looked at Chu Tianqi lovingly and said, "Miss Ning is really a good child, not to mention her good looks, she is still sensible. Every time I come back, I have to take a lot of things, and I have to help me with my work. Look at it, the wine you drank today, and the cigarettes you smoked, were all sent by her the day before yesterday, and the boxes on the counter, all of them were delicious and delicious...... "As soon as You Chunmei talked about the future "daughter-in-law", she couldn't hold it.

After listening to what her mother said, Chu Lijuan also said: "Tianqi, you should also think about your marriage, you can't keep dragging it out like this." ”

Chu Tianqi didn't avoid the topic as usual, but said in passing: "When I have time, I will also listen to her attitude." ”

Chu Lijuan continued: "If a person becomes a family, he will also have a home. Home is ......"

Chu Lirui grabbed Bai and said: "It depends on who it is, if there is a 'second-rate' man in the family, it is better not to have it." As he spoke, he also glared at Liu Xuanzhu. When his eyes fell on the eldest brother's face, he smiled again, "Brother, I didn't mean you, don't mind!"

"I know. Chu Tianqi replied.

Because of the festive topic, the atmosphere has always been harmonious, as if the little unpleasantness just now did not happen.

At seven o'clock, dinner ended. Liu Xuanzhu rushed to wash the dishes with his daughter-in-law, and the others sat on the kang to chat, waiting for the Spring Festival party to start.

Chu Lirui looked at everyone, glanced at Niuniu again, and said in a low voice: "Dad, I remember you said, 'If that second-rate son comes back, you must teach him a good lesson and give your sister anger'." Why are you a good guy again this year?"

Chu Lirui's words focused everyone's attention on Chu Yuliang.

Chu Yuliang sighed: "I used to see your sister with Niuniu, an orphan and a widow, I can't wait to beat that kid well." But that injury, nine deaths, made me figure out a lot of things. Why do we hate him, don't we want your sister to have something to rely on and let your sister enjoy happiness? As soon as that kid entered the house today, your sister's eyes never left him, which shows that she was happy to see that kid and felt happy. Then why do I have to teach him a lesson? Whether the two of them are doing well or not is mainly the feelings of the parties themselves. ”

After listening to Chu Yuliang's words, people were speechless for a while. Niuniu even had tears in her eyes.

……

In the evening, Chu Lijuan's family of three went to the Westinghouse early.

After Chu Tianqi, his younger brother, and his parents watched the Spring Festival Gala, they went out and fired a cannon for a while, and they all slept in the east house.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Tianqi and his younger brother still went to toast the village elders as usual. It may be that people think that Chu Tianqi's official is too big, and they all ask Chu Tianqi to drink less on the grounds of "paying attention to his body". But the more this is the case, in order to show sincerity, Chu Tianqi drank more wine.

For the next few days, they treated each other to each other, and almost every day they drank dizzy.

This year's Spring Festival is undoubtedly the most festive in recent years, his father Chu Yuliang's body has basically recovered as before, Chu Tianqi has become a double director, and Chu Lirui's orchard has also made a profit. Especially the "wild ghost" Liu Xuanzhu, who has not been home for several years, also returned home this year, and Chu Lijuan's family was reunited. Seeing the unconcealable happiness on his sister's face, Chu Tianqi was also happy for his sister.
