Chapter 482: It's New Year's Day
Today is the happiest day of the year for the soldiers, because the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on this day is the best meal of the year.
Of course, this is also the saddest day for them, because if they were not soldiers, they should have spent this day at home with their parents and relatives, but now they can only spend it with their comrades-in-arms who miss their families as much as they do.
Therefore, the expressions on the faces of the fighters varied, with both excitement and a hint of sadness.
Jian Dan put the two small ones in the cart, Luo Chao didn't leave the cart for half a step, and circled around the cart, exchanging words with Xiao Yi from time to time that everyone couldn't understand.
Xiao Yi was also very cooperative, and the two little people talked about it very lively, which made Jian Dan and Chen Xinran both can't help laughing, it's really funny that these two little guys look serious.
However, Xiaoshuang sat upright, like a little adult, which made Jian Dan even more pity.
There was a military wife who came first with her children, and when she saw the three children, she couldn't help but come over to say hello.
In fact, Xiao Yi and Xiao Shuang both wanted to sleep a little at this time, and Jian Dan gave the two little ones some abilities from time to time.
Under Jian Dan's training, Xiao Yi can also absorb the essence of plants by herself, but she will not return the essence, every time she absorbs it, Jian Dan has to finish it in the back, otherwise where can the plants around it survive.
With the support of his mother's ability, Xiaoshuang is also in good spirits, and he looks at the people in the cafeteria with a pair of big eyes.
Jian Dan was talking to Han Xiuyun, and Han Xiuyun brought her son Tang Weidong and daughter Tang Ning over.
Tang Weidong is fifteen years old, and he is impatient to be with adults, so he goes to play with boys of the same age after a while.
Tang Ning is also twelve or thirteen years old, very delicate, seeing that her mother was talking to Jian Dan happily, she took the initiative to help Aunt Jian watch the two cute little sisters.
Jian Dan likes such a gentle and well-behaved girl very much, and only hopes that her two daughters can grow like this in the future.
Chen Xinran also praised Tang Ning with Han Xiuyun: "Sister-in-law Xiuyun, your Ning Ning is really the best temper among the little girls in our courtyard, but she is liked." ”
Han Xiuyun said with a smile: "Hey, I may be modest about anything else, but this girl in my family, I can say yes without shame." Don't look at the fact that he is only twelve or thirteen years old, and now he can help me cook and wash clothes, which is much better than my son. I now think that having a son is famous, and having a daughter is a blessing. ”
Jian Dan remembered those words in his previous life, and said playfully: "That's not the case, raising a son is a construction bank, and if you don't work hard to build a wedding house, you can't even marry a daughter-in-law." It's different to raise a daughter, that is, China Merchants Bank, and you can raise a son-in-law to make money in the future. ”
Although Jian Dan said that China Merchants Bank has not yet been established, there is still a construction bank, but people who listen to Jian Dan's jokes think that Jian Dan is just joking.
The two of them said happily, they both had daughters, and this time it was Chen Xinran's turn to be unhappy: "You two villains, squeeze me together and give birth to a son." ”
Jian Dan remembered how he forgot Chen Xinran, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Yin Xiuying leading Zhou Ying into the cafeteria.
She hasn't seen this woman for a year, and she still feels like a world away when she sees her, because Yin Xiuying is like the one she knew Yin Xiuying.
The face has been thinned, the original arrogance is gone, and he is holding his daughter's hand indifferently, although he also greets people, but it is not the high-minded expression at all.
When she arrived at this table, Yin Xiuying's eyes flashed when she saw Jian Dan, but she still said to Jian Dan: "Happy New Year!"
Even Zhou Ying obediently said to Jian Dan: "Auntie, Happy New Year!"
Jian Dan is not the kind of person with a small belly, hearing Zhou Ying call herself like this, she took a red envelope from her bag and handed it to Zhou Ying, this is what she was going to give to the children in the group today, and she just sent it to the children.
Zhou Ying received the red envelope, her little face was bright, and she said to Jian Dan: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Yin Xiuying felt embarrassed, she didn't expect that Jian Dan would ignore her past suspicions and treat Zhou Ying equally.
Although the look of shame on her face flashed, Jian Dan's eyes were so powerful that she could see it very clearly, it seemed that this person had really learned a lesson and knew that he had to change.
Yin Xiuying was feeling embarrassed, because she didn't prepare a red envelope, thanks to this time Chen Qiuying led a few military wives to come.
Seeing that Jian Dan was leading the child here, Chen Qiuying led people over again, and she also prepared some red envelopes like Jian Dan, and hurriedly sent red envelopes to Xiao Yi and Xiao Shuang.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Shuang received a lot of red envelopes today, and the small red satchel made by Jian Dan had to be stuffed with Luo Chao's help.
Seeing that someone handed over the red envelope again, the two little girls slapped their hands together, and their red faces were like ripe red apples, which made people want to take a bite when they saw them.
Chen Qiuying went to see the two little girls in the first month after Jian Dan came back, but at that time it was just a newborn lying on the bed who could only kick the toad's legs, and now the small appearance can be seen, she looks really good-looking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is carved in pink and jade.
The military wives who followed also came around to praise the two little girls, although Jian Dan knew that they didn't necessarily praise them sincerely, but who as a parent doesn't like someone to praise their children, they are so happy that they have to be humble in their mouths.
Chen Xinran covered her mouth happily, she now regards Xiaoyi as her daughter-in-law, and now so many people praise Xiaoyi just to praise her good eyesight.
It's easy for everyone to finish praising and greeting, and everyone is seated.
On the left side of Jian Dan sat Chen Xinran, on the right was Chen Qiuying, the children were picked up from the cart, Chen Qiuying helped hold Xiaoshuang, Jian Dan was holding the more naughty Xiaoyi, and Chen Xinran was holding Luo Chao.
Huang Jianfeng had already finished his New Year's speech on stage, the soldiers burst into thunderous applause, and Jian Dan was afraid that the timid Xiaoshuang would be frightened, but what she saw was that Xiaoshuang was not frightened at all, but had an expression of an old god.
For the youngest daughter who has no special abilities, Jian Dan actually pays more attention, and doesn't want the child to feel that she is not taken seriously, she feels that the younger daughter is more delicate, but the eldest daughter is completely rough.
The two children are very interested in eating, and now they are seven months old, and they are very excited to see the table full of food, but they can't move the things on this table, and it is not time to eat.
Jian Dan had to give a teething stick to each person, saving them from always drooling over the table full of dishes.
During the meal, the atmosphere was very warm, and Luo Chao would let Chen Xinran eat anything delicious for Xiao Yi as well.
It's a pity that Xiao Yi can't eat it, so he can only watch Jian Dan eat the dishes that Chen Xinran brought over one bite at a time.
Although Xiao Yi can't speak, Jian Dan can communicate with her, but he can explain to Xiao Yi the reason why she can't eat these things.
Luo Chao didn't do it, he worked hard to get Chen Xinran to clip the things to Xiao Yi, and actually let Aunt Jian finish eating, he couldn't help but complain to Jian Dan.
He didn't speak very clearly, Jian Dan didn't understand, but Chen Xinran could understand, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, the younger sister is too young to eat." Don't do this to Aunt Jane, be obedient!"
His cute appearance made the military wives at the table laugh, and some joked that they should marry a baby.
Chen Xinran is very happy, she also likes Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi's refreshing temperament is particularly attractive to her.
She said directly to Luo Chao: "Chaochao, you know how much you love your daughter-in-law now, much better than your father." ”
Jian Dan really couldn't do anything about this person, and glared at her: "It's nonsense!"
Chen Xinran smiled and said, "Just kidding, why are you so serious." ”
"What are you kidding?" Luo Mingyu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Looking back, it was not only Luo Mingyu, but the leaders of the regiment headquarters who had come over.
Chen Xinran smiled and said, "No kidding, I'm taking Xiaoyi as my daughter-in-law." ”
Luo Mingyu also smiled when he heard it: "I'll see it!"
Huang Jianfeng directly refused: "No, the children are still too young." ”
It was Political Commissar Zhao who helped to play the round: "Why did you two talk about this, we are here to thank our family members for their support over the past year." Come, military wives, you have worked hard all these years, marrying us who are often not at home, your hardships are much more than ordinary women, respect you!"
As he spoke, he raised his glass to everyone at the table, and everyone stood up and raised their glasses at him.
After eating, there was a show, but Jian Dan couldn't continue to stay with the child.
Huang Jianfeng couldn't pull away, and directly asked the guard Xiao Zhang to send her and the children back.
Back in the small courtyard, everyone was making dumplings in the living room, which was also very lively.
Seeing Jian Dan coming back, Mrs. Guo hurriedly came over to help Jian Dan take Xiaoshuang out of the car.
The two little guys are both strong spirits, and they have already slept once in the car, and when they see the familiar people, they just open their eyes and fall asleep again.
Mrs. Guo and Jian Dan sent the two little girls upstairs to the room to sleep, Jian Dan wanted to go downstairs to help, but Mrs. Guo didn't allow it: "Just look at the children, so many people are working, even if you are missing, it's nothing." ”
Jian Dan disagreed: "Grandma, why don't we put them in your room, so that I can also talk to you together." ”
Mrs. Guo thought about it and agreed, after all, it was the New Year, and everyone was still lively together.
So, after going downstairs to settle the two babies, Jian Dan also joined the dumpling-making team.
In fact, making dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve is not a job, but an activity where the family can eat and talk together on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Everyone talked and laughed and finished the work, just waiting for the clock to go out and set off the firecrackers, and then they could start eating dumplings.
Jian Dan thought that Huang Jianfeng could come back before the dumplings came out of the pot, but who knew that everyone had finished eating the dumplings, but he still didn't come back.
At this time, Jian Dan found that he had a major thing to do, that is, he forgot to install the phone.
There is also a phone installed in the small courtyard, and it will be dry next year, so it will not work without phone contact.
This matter of applying for the installation of a phone is still handled by Huang Jianfeng, and Jian Dan will not be polite when he should contribute.
I don't know when it was, Huang Jianfeng sneaked into bed, Jian Dan ignored him, only felt that it didn't take long for the children to start making noise about milk.
The first day of junior high school is also busy, and many people come to pay New Year's greetings to Jian Dan on this day.
The villagers in the village also want to work more in Jian Dan's villa in the new year, so that they can have more income, not to mention the salary that Jian Dan gave last year makes them look forward to becoming regular employees.
It's a pity that Jian Dan has already told the villagers that only some of them will be recruited, because the jobs are more reserved for Huang Jianfeng's veterans or martyrs' families.
However, it is also good for the villagers of Shengli Village to be able to work part-time, so there is an endless stream of people coming to this day.
Jian Dan has already told Mrs. Guo that she can only accept inexpensive gifts from the villagers, and ask Xiaowei to make a record so that Jian Dan can return the gift at that time.
At lunch, Jian Dan invited Chen Xinran and Yan Jianming, but he didn't expect Luo Mingxuan and Shen Suqin to come.
But it doesn't matter, Jian Dan has already prepared enough ingredients, because there are many people, and two tables are directly opened.
Shen Suqin's face has improved a lot, she just wants to give birth to a baby for Luo Mingxuan now, but her body has lost too much over the years, and she has never conceived a child, which makes her very distressed.
Jian Dan decided to help Shen Suqin regulate her body in the future, so that she could give birth to a boy and a girl for the person she loves the most.
Luo Mingxuan was very grateful to Jian Dan for letting Shen Suqin stay away from his mother, he felt that Shen Suqin's body might recover more easily.
What Jian Dan and Huang Jianfeng didn't expect was that in the second year of junior high school, Huang Wei actually led the whole family over with her, and brought various gifts in large bags and small bags.
Huang Jianfeng felt very grateful in his heart, since his father died, only this sister would call him from time to time, and his mother and that brother had completely cut off contact with him.
Huang Wei was also very emotional when she saw her younger brother, and she also heard that her younger brother would be promoted to deputy division commander in the next year, she was very relieved, knowing that this younger brother could inherit her father's mantle.
And although this younger brother is not very tactful, he is much stronger than his father's cannon barrel, and his future achievements may surpass his father.
"Little brother, younger brother and sister, my sister will take you here as her maiden home in the future, you won't be welcome, right?" asked Huang Wei.
Huang Jianfeng said with a smile: "As long as you don't dislike this is a rural place, you can come whenever you want." ”
Jian Dan also said: "My sister and brother-in-law are welcome to come at any time, and it will be no problem for Mingxuan and Minghui to come to me during the summer vacation in the future. ”
