Chapter 1293: Happy New Year
Although in the end, he was kicked a few times for no reason, and he ate a stomach of soil, but Lin Bai finally failed to touch the kang heads of several women, and he had no choice but to return to the Taoist temple, and after pouring a stomach of wine, he took advantage of the low moon and high wind, and quietly touched the small village at the bottom of the mountain, wanting to find a lovely person to show them a full face.
What Lin Bai didn't expect was that the 'doors' that were opened for him and waited for him in the past were all closed tonight, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of them at all. This made Lin Bai's heart more and more depressed, and he sighed that people's hearts are not ancient, these people don't have the 'White Dragon Brother' in their hearts, and they are still thinking about them on this wedding night.
But helplessly, life still has to go on like this. However, without the involvement of that matter, and Lin Bai knew that after the end of this year, he was afraid that he would have to wander outside for three or two years, and when he returned to the mountain, he was afraid that it would be a matter of fact, so he simply indulged himself, day and night, drunk and singing, so unhappy.
However, what made Lin Bai a little depressed was that he cheated at the banquet that night and forced out the wine with mana, but he was still poked out by Liu Jingtian after he woke up from the wine. In the future, every time they fight for wine, those friends under the mountain, Liu Jingtian and Zhang Sanmad will deliberately separate one person and sit next to Lin Bai to see if he is playing tricks again.
The days passed so carelessly, although it looked extremely dull, and even a little drunk and dreamy, but for Lin Bai, who was used to hanging by a thread outside, it was an incomparable enjoyment and the best recuperation.
As the New Year approached the end of the day, Xia Xiaoqing and He Jiaer's daughters followed Lin Bai's aunts and uncles all day long, working non-stop in the kitchen. Make dumplings, fried rice cakes, braised pork, make desserts, and pack up the food that the family needs for the New Year.
Originally, after learning the news that Liu and He were recuperating in Maoshan, Jintan sent a star chef, saying that he wanted to share the housework for the family and reduce the burden of the old man. But the chef went up the mountain on the front foot, and was driven down by the two old men on the back foot, and even issued a ban, if anyone rushed up the mountain to visit half a step, he would not be spared, and this was the stop.
Why do Chinese people attach so much importance to the annual Spring Festival, because it is the only day of the year for family reunion. It's easy for a family to get together, where can they be haunted by these bad things, and Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, even if the star chef makes it delicious, it is not as good as his own family to spend some things and pick it up with his own hands.
Although these daughters-in-law of the Liu family have been pampered over the years, they are also people who came from the era of extremely frequent material occurrence in the past, and they also have great respect for the old traditions, and they each have one or two specialty dishes. And Li Qiushui, who grew up under the care of a nanny since he was a child, and didn't help the soy sauce bottle when he poured it, was also busy before and after, and he did it with relish.
After the aroma of the food spread, it hooked out all the greedy worms in the stomachs of the family. Liu and He, the two old men, took Li Qingnan and Sophia, as well as Xiao Jingxing and Xiao Lizhen, into the kitchen from time to time, and after touching a few delicious pieces, they hurriedly turned around and left, and the family was really happy.
The days passed slowly and carefree, and in the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Leading Zhang Sanmad and Liu Jingtian, after tasting the home-brewed rice wine at the old Wangtou's house, seeing that the sky was gradually dimming, Lin Bai followed the rules of previous years, and sent New Year's money to the little dolls in the village from door to door, and after smiling happily, he took the two who were already drunk and rushed back to the mountain.
After staying in the past few days, although he found that there were no major changes in the village, it still made Lin Bai feel more emotional.
In previous years, when the New Year was approaching, every household in the village had to rush to Maoshan to make incense, but now it is rare to see anyone pack up those things that enter the incense. Belief in this thing, although it is a mysterious thing, but people live in the world for a lifetime, if they don't even have a sustenance, what is the meaning, this change, even Lin Bai, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.
However, what made Lin Bai a little curious was that when he walked around the village, he smelled a faint smell of incense, candles, and paper treasures in the house, but he didn't know that these people didn't go up the mountain to enter the incense, and what they did when they lit these things at home.
But at this juncture, Liu Jingtian, who was blown by the mountain wind and was full of wine, plunged into the bushes on the side of the road and vomited. Looking at his old watch, Lin Bai knew that if he let this kid go back to the mountain like this, he was afraid that he would inevitably be scolded by the old man, where could he sit idly by, so he put aside the doubts in his heart, and entered his body with magic force to dispel the drunkenness.
Winter is short days and long nights, and it gets dark very quickly, and when Liu Jingtian wakes up, the gray sky before is already thousands of lights in the blink of an eye. Up and down the mountain, there are dense firecrackers, and there are bursts of roars in the dark night sky from time to time, and countless colorful fireworks fill the sky, like countless colorful stars twinkling.
"You bastards still know that you will come back, don't you know if you have to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night......" After seeing the three of them walking into the house drunk, Old Man Liu rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and shouted angrily at them.
"It's the New Year, old man, don't be so angry." Lin Bai knew that he was at a loss, so he hurriedly came to the old man's side, and after serving the old man a glass of wine, he pulled a chair and sat down against the old man, and said with a smile: "New Year's Eve, let's eat!" ”
Listening to Lin Bai's words, a few little guys who were still watching Sophia set off fireworks in the courtyard in the dark suddenly swarmed into the house, and the chirping children's voices filled the room, which was extremely lively.
I have to say that Sophia, the little girl, is really in the wrong place, and she doesn't have the squeamishness of her children at all. Playing with the artillery battle, it is even more neat than the boy, listening to the roar of the artillery battle, without even blinking.
After surviving in the past few days, several women really packed up a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, what peacock Wuchang fish, what mandarin duck shrimp, what scallion roasted sea cucumber, what step by step, what five blessings, what soup baby cabbage, what squirrel mandarin fish, what hibiscus steamed crab, what shrimp eggs, densely set a table, really dazzling.
"Fire, eat!" After the old man made a concise declaration, he waved his hand, let Sophia take a cannon and light it into the courtyard, and then began to attack a table of dishes with a smile.
Looking at the bustling table of people, Lin Bai really felt a little emotional in his heart. From his birth to the present, there has never been a family gathered around like now, and a reunion year has been celebrated. This emotion even made him feel like a dream, but he understood that even if it was just a dream, he only wished to sleep forever and never wake up, completely unaware of his identity.
"Grandpa, grandmother, grandfather, mother, aunt, aunt, I wish you several old people happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan Immortal Pine, eternal life and eternal life can enjoy Funing and happiness." After reaching out and wiping the corners of his eyes quietly, Lin Bai pulled a few women, and then led them to get up slowly and toasted a glass of wine to several old people.
"Okay, good boy...... looked at this big family, and several old people were really happy in their hearts, hurriedly got up, took the wine glass from their hands, and drank it all with their heads up. Although the wine is strong, looking at the person serving the wine, it is sweet in the mouth.
Looking at them like this, Liu Jingtian also got up with a wine glass, toasted to several old people, and said with a hippie smile: "I wish several old people more than every year, wealth and peace, and children and grandchildren are full of ......."
"The house is full of children and grandchildren, as far as your kid's virtue is concerned, I don't know if I can see it when I close my eyes." Old Man Liu took Liu Jingtian's wine glass, and after drinking the wine in the cup, he reprimanded angrily: "Look at Lin Bai, and then look at yourself, I didn't catch you before, today in front of everyone, you have to give me a guarantee, you must start a family after the year!" ”
Liu Jingtian had no choice but to nod and agree, but after sitting down, he sighed for a long time. It's really better than people to die, look at the old man's previous attitude towards Lin Bai, and then look at his attitude towards himself, where does he look like his biological grandson, but like Lin Bai's grandson, who is his own grandson.
After seeing Lin Bai and Liu Jingtian's actions, Li Qingnan and Sophia, together with Xiao Jingxing and Xiao Lizhen, hulala, came to the front of several old people, pouted their butts and kowtowed a few times, and then stared at the pockets of the old people.
Looking at the appearance of these little guys, several old people were already smiling from ear to ear, took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago, stuffed them into the hands of those little guys one by one, patted their little heads, and signaled them to hurry up and eat.
But where is this little guy so easy to deal with, after asking for red envelopes from a few old people, he leaned over to Lin Bai, Chen Bai'an and Zhang Sanmad. Especially Sophia, after taking a large handful of red envelopes from Lin Bai's pocket, she was still not satisfied, and quietly leaned over to him and kissed him fiercely. Seeing this scene, Li Qingnan also took advantage of no one's attention, and hurriedly leaned over and kissed her.
Where are the little ones who are the masters of serious eating, after a few bites of food, they can't sit still, led by Sophia, run outside the house to set off fireworks, looking at the frolicking appearance of these little guys, everyone is laughing and laughing.
The food was moving, the wine was hot, the family gathered happily, and no one paid attention to the rules of food and sleep, and the room was filled with noisy laughter. Here, there are no fathers, no high-ranking officials, no soldiers, and no strange teachers, only strong family affection, only a family connected by blood.
"Happy New Year, Master, can you see it?" Looking at this scene, Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth gushing out of his heart, and after taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to his side, he picked up a glass of wine and slowly sprinkled it on the ground, and said secretly in his heart.
