Chapter 153: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
The matter was said, but the two old men were more anxious and urgent than the two parties. I muttered to Qianyu all day long and muttered there without knowing what to say, and as soon as I saw Lin Mi'er and Wei Jili, I immediately stopped talking and pretended to do other things. The angry Wei Jili said to Lin Mi'er: "How can I smell the smell of conspiracy. ”
"Don't think about these things all day long, come and help me adjust the antenna of the TV, it's still very clear just now, why did there be snowflakes all of a sudden, if there is such a mistake in watching the Spring Festival Gala at night, isn't it a disappointment?" Lin Mier was adjusting the big color TV she had just bought, and she didn't pay much attention to Wei Jili's chasing after the wind and shadows.
"Here we are." Wei Jili was very happy that Lin Mier instructed him to work, and since the last time everyone had a heart-to-heart conversation, Lin Mier has never refused her feelings for herself, and she has become much more casual in talking and doing things with herself. "But don't care, what I just said is well-founded, you didn't pay attention to the strange behavior between my parents and the two little girls. I always feel like something is going to happen, so let's be careful, and if there's anything you can't handle, push it on me and let me deal with it. ”
"Okay." Lin Mier, who cares about Wei Jili all the time, is full of sweetness, and feels that she is really back to her girlhood, back to the kind of youth that was cared for.
"Laugh, we're here."
Li Li pulled Li Feng and took Ge Chunmei and Grandma Ge to appear in the small courtyard.
"Come on in." A light smile ran out of the door to greet this family. Yes, this year's Chinese New Year Li Li's family also came, and from the time he said that he wanted to hold a reunion together, he thought of Li Li's family with a light smile. This wish to spend the New Year together has not been realized, and this year there are just conditions, and Grandma Huang said. The old lady was so happy that she immediately took Li Li's family over, and Grandma Ge chatted with her, that is, she had found her suitable partner.
"You're welcome if you want me to help, I'm going to work together." Ge Chunmei drilled into the kitchen as soon as she came.
"Why do you have to work when you say you came over for dinner, how embarrassed am you to make me like this?" Lin Mier was very embarrassed to help Ge Chunmei.
"What are you talking about? Our two families are still so clear, is it really just to eat here? Ge Chunmei didn't care at all, and took the small vegetable seedlings in Lin Mi'er's hand. Rinse in the sink. "What kind of dishes are you going to prepare for this night, using such tender little vegetable seedlings?"
"It's not about smiling at that girl. Say that the winter dishes will cool down before they are served, and before they can say a few words, the taste is gone. Say that you have to eat hot food during the New Year, and you don't want to eat hot pot. It also got the approval of other people in the family, and these are mostly the materials used to eat hot pot next to me. Lin Mi'er pointed to the dishes she had washed and the ones that had not been washed and showed them to Ge Chunmei.
"Eating hot pot during the New Year can only be thought of by the girl who smiles. But I think your explanation makes sense. You said that we worked hard to cook a large table of dishes for the New Year, didn't it just to eat? Eat happily and comfortably. It's rare for a family reunion during the Chinese New Year, and they all have rest and leisure. At the dinner table, the men had to drink a little wine from each other. This dish is cold, there is no way to put it in the mouth, and the hot one is then eaten, which is not only troublesome but also impure in taste. Sometimes a dish is heated three or four times. This is a meal, it is simply a sin. If you want me to laugh, this attention is really amazing. If you want to eat, put it in the pot and brush it, and you want to talk and chat and drink. Just stop and eat hot and fresh food without wasting it. It's a triple win! "A couple of years of business sat down. Ge Chunmei immediately saw infinite vitality in the hot pot proposed by Xiaoxiao.
"As soon as you say it, think about it, it's really true." Lin Mier said with a smile, "I am used to being conservative, I didn't turn the corner for a while, and I still want to teach Xiaoxiao this girl, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also messing around, and the old people in the family don't care and really feel sorry for her." Now it seems that it was my fault that she was thinking about everyone's stomach and not thinking too hard about my mother. Alas! ”
"It's our blessing that our daughters are sensible, and we also worked hard to bring them up, this small gesture is nothing, you have to think about it."
"That's it." Under Ge Chunmei's persuasion and comfort, Lin Mier also felt at ease.
"Come, let's all raise a glass together, I wish you all the best in the coming year!" As the oldest man in the room, the old man raised the wine glass in his hand and took the lead in speaking.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"New Year, New Weather!"
"All wishes come true, all the best!"
"The money is rolling!" As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed more than once, and said that she was a fan of wealth, and she did not forget to invite herself to wealth in this blessing.
Three rounds of drinking. Of course, the children present were all replaced by drinks. Old Man Wei pinched his throat with his hand, and after "cough cough", he put down the cup in his hand and said to everyone: "I have something to announce." ”
When everyone saw the old man's positive color, they all put down the cups in their hands and looked at Old Man Wei waiting for him to speak.
"What I'm going to announce this time is that I'm going to pack up my family's Mr. Wei Jili and give it to Ms. Lin Mier." Old Man Wei had a rare sense of humor.
"Dad, you wish I got married now, right? Did you see that Mi'er let go, so she came to such a hand? I will get married, but not now. Wei Jili patted Lin Mi'er's hand under the table, telling her not to worry, she has her own matter.
"Married? I don't have hope for you now. After tonight, you will be thirty-five years old, but your marriage and I have been waiting with our necks stretched, waiting for what to wait for, you sue me. Why don't you dare to say, I can tell you directly that we didn't wait for anything, hope is shattered, and now I finally see a little flame beating, and I don't add firewood right away. ”
"Dad, you have to say that I will wait until I get home, and now that there are so many people, you can also give me a little face. And I've said it many times, I'm only thirty-four years old after the New Year, and I'm not yet thirty-five years old, so don't add my age all day long, I'm still very young, really. I'm really not in a hurry to get married, Mi'er and I are still at the beginning, and we haven't enjoyed the taste of love yet, so we can step into the ranks of marriage at once. Wei Jili had to explain, so many pairs of eyes staring. There are some things that you can't do without making them clear.
To be honest, Wei Jili's heart actually wanted to enter the wedding hall immediately, but he knew that Lin Mier belonged to the slow-burning type, and now he finally opened the door of his heart, and he was definitely not ready to get married, so Wei Jili had to put away his anxiety and use not falling in love as an excuse.
"You guys?" It was the first time Ge Chunmei heard this big secret, and she was a little surprised and a little surprised, and pointed to Wei Jili and Lin Mi'er and said, "Your secrecy work is really good. I haven't received any news of such a big thing. If it weren't for the old man's revelation today. Are you trying to hide it? ”
"A happy event is a great event." Grandma Ge smiled at Grandma Huang and said, "Old sister, you are still blessed." This new year, new blessings, double happiness is coming. When are you going to have a wedding drink? ”
"The time to like wine depends on their young people, but today you are really right, double happiness is coming." Grandma Huang accepted all the words of blessing. "Mi'er, you and Xili are not young. I don't force you to get married right away, but you always have to give me a time limit. You also see that the old man and I are both half-buried in the loess, and this only wish is to see your wedding. What do you think? ”
"I ......" Lin Mi'er looked at Wei Jili, looked at Old Man Wei and Grandma Huang, and looked at their attentive eyes. had to whisper: "Don't ask me, it's not up to me to decide on this matter." ”
"Little uncle, why are you still sitting stupidly, act quickly?" A light smile coaxed in the back.
"Action? What action? "Wei Jili has not yet recovered from the scene just now.
"This." Wei Yi took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Wei Jili. "Uncle, I've prepared a gift for you."
"This ...... Oh. Was this what you were talking about last time? Wei Jili smiled a little silly, and took the box in Wei Yi's hand. Don't you just want to see me embarrassed? It's a pity that it won't be as you want, so that you can't see it. But what's in this box? ”
Wai opened the lid of the box and saw a shiny four-leaf clover necklace lying in the box. took it out of the box and said to Lin Mi'er: "Although I didn't buy this gift, it is also a heart." Today I will dedicate this to you, you also know that my parents are waiting for us to drill into the trap, but I still really like this trap and want to go in. Miar, will you accept it? ”
Lin Mi'er looked at Wei Jili, and then looked at those shining eyes, needless to say, she also knew that there was gossip shining in it. But what did she say in public, Lin Mier was a little shy, a little blushing, and nodded in everyone's expectation after waiting for a long time.
"Oh, oh."
"Hurry up and bring it to her yourself."
Wei Jili took the necklace out of the box in the midst of everyone's coaxing, put it on Lin Mi'er very considerately and carefully, and said softly in her ear: "We must be as happy as the meaning of this four-leaf clover." ”
Lin Mi'er stroked the necklace around her neck, thinking about the meaning of the four-leaf clover.
The average four-leaf clover has only three leaves and very few four-lobes. But each leaf has a different meaning: the first leaf represents hope, the second leaf represents giving, the third leaf represents love, and the fourth leaf represents happiness.
Lin Mi'er felt that she now held happiness in her hands.
"Old man......"
Before Lin Mi'er's words could be spoken, she was interrupted by Grandma Huang: "Wrong." Wrong. Now I can't call him the old man, and I will change my name to my parents from today. ”
"Yes, change your words." Even Grandma Ge joked on the side.
Lin Mi'er blushed and reddened, and finally said softly: "Dad, Mom." ”
"Hey, hey." The two old men laughed very happily, and there was nothing like this call at this moment.
"I said that although today is a little more shabby and there are fewer people, but the time is good, I think it would be better to change tonight's reunion dinner to an engagement banquet?" Grandma Ge said: "Anyway, they gave gifts just now, just right, strike while the iron is hot." ”
"Yes, you're not bad." Old Man Wei seconded.
"Does Mi'er feel wronged by you?" Grandma Huang still cares a lot about Lin Mier's feelings.
"Actually, it doesn't matter, I don't care about the form, as long as the ritual is good to me." Lin Mi'er said and turned around and smiled at each other.
This engagement banquet may be the most humble, but it is very warm, at least it has a heavy scratch in the hearts of Lin Mier and Wei Jili, and it will never be erased! (To be continued) >
