Chapter 388: Stepping on Two Boats
At six o'clock in the evening, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began.
There are three large round tables in the hall on the first floor, one round table can seat more than a dozen people, and it is not a big problem for three tables to squeeze forty people, but there are still a few people who can only stand aside to eat and cannot get on the table.
"Come on, come on, shark fin soup is here, let me go."
Tianming, who wore an apron around his waist and a pair of sleeves on his hands to help the cook, carried a large bowl of soup on the large round table.
"Shark fin soup? Is this shark fin soup? The third aunt's eyes widened, staring at the big bowl.
"Shark fin soup, you'll know when you taste it."
Liu Yang scooped some shark fin soup with a spoon, put it in his bowl and tasted it, his eyes widened, and he immediately shouted: "This soup is so delicious, so fresh!" With that, she scooped a large bowl into her bowl.
A few adults also tasted it, and they were impressed by this delicious shark fin soup, but they didn't believe it, this is really shark fin soup?
The second uncle is well-informed, and there are many big bosses in the business field who have eaten together, and it is not that he has never served a banquet on the tens of thousands of tables, but he has never seen such a thing as shark fin, and muttered: "The price of shark fin is better than gold, and the shark fin in this bowl is at least a pound smaller, how much does it cost?" β
Although the second uncle doubts, is this really shark fin? But the peerless experience that came from his taste buds told him that it might really be shark fin.
In addition, the greens, radish, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, potatoes on the table are all brought out by Tianming from the greenhouse space of the small space, after being fried into dishes, the fragrance is fragrant, and the smell is not weaker than the chicken, duck and fish next to it.
"Let's let go, the vermicelli fish balls will arrive."
Tianming brought another pot of soup to the table.
The fish balls in the vermicelli fish balls are made from fish meat in the blue mercury sea. The taste is very delicious, and this dish is the 29th dish served on the table in the morning.
"Tianming, don't serve it anymore, you can't put it on the table anymore, you can eat it with your mother, you don't have to do it anymore."
The uncle pulled Tianming, held chopsticks, and pointed to a table full of dishes.
"It's almost there, there are six dishes left, and it's going to be good right away. Right away. β
Tianming smiled and continued to return to the kitchen. left behind what the uncle said, "I really don't need to serve food anymore, Tianming, come and accompany me and two cups".
There were too many relatives, and Meng Xinyi, who was a little shy, took a bowl and Xiaojuan on the second floor, eating while watching TV, and a few bear children who didn't like to eat and eat snacks were also on the second floor. are all playing games on the Tianming computer, noisy and noisy, becoming the New Year's sound, second only to the sound of firecrackers.
After all the dishes are served. Liu Hongcai, Xu Jinsheng and Tianming, a few busy people in the kitchen, finally sat down at the dinner table, drank a glass of beer, and chatted about family life. When asked when he was getting married, Tianming was vague and just said it was soon. Mom ran upstairs. pulled Meng Xinyi down, and then said to her uncle and aunt: "The two of them have already booked, they will get married on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and you will be able to come and drink their wedding wine in a few days." β
"Poof!"
Tianming squirted out a sip of wine from his mouth, looked at his mother in surprise and said, "Mom, when did I say that I got married on the seventh day of the first lunar month?" β
Liu Hongcai's eyes widened, looked at Tianming and said, "I said it!" Look at the village and outside the village, look at your brothers and brothers, you are the only one who has not married yet, you are 29 years old, son, do you really want to wait for 30 years old and let others see our jokes? Look at Xinyi, what a good girl, she is not in a hurry, shouldn't you be in a hurry? I don't care if you have an opinion or not, on the seventh day of the first month, anyway, the date is set! β
Tianming panicked, my mother is a complete showdown, and it is in front of so many relatives...... If he doesn't get married, then his mother will lose face and make a big joke, if he gets married, won't he let down Lan Luo, who is still in his hometown?
Looking at Meng Xinyi again, she was looking shy, lowering her head as if she had acquiesced, come out to speak, hey? Are you really marrying me like this seven days later?
"Tianming, you are indeed not small, I am as old as you, Liu Lu is in elementary school. A lifelong event, you can't put it off again and again, now that you have met the right person, this marriage will end early. β
"Uncle, this is too sudden, I think I can wait another two years."
"Wait two years?" Liu Hongcai fried her hair and took Tianming's hand: "I can't wait for two days!" Sue sΓΉ you! Tomorrow I will start to talk about the marriage of the two of you, Xinyi, you call your mother over, and I will go door to door to send a wedding post! Tianlin, don't go to the scenic spot to work, help buy your brother to get married, on the seventh day of the first month, this marriage must be married! β
"Mom~!" Tianming shouted: "Didn't you force me to get married?" β
"What did you force you? I'm doing this for your own good, son, you can't drag it out year after year, right? Do you want to never get married for the rest of your life? If you dare to do this, I will kill you! Anyway, I don't care, you don't have to do anything these days, honestly squat at home for me! I'll arrange all the marriage for you, as well as some of your friends and classmates, please come over and just do this one thing! β
Tianming paused: "Mom, you didn't even ask Xinyi if you agreed, you?" β
"You see Xinyi is like this, what else does she disagree with, do you want to be irresponsible?"
When Tianming saw it, Meng Xinyi's face was buried in her chest, and her face was red to the back of her ears, and the meaning seemed to be clear.
But Tianming still asked her: "Xinyi, are you really willing to marry me?" β
Meng Xinyi raised her head slightly, her eyes were watery, and Ying Ning said, "Xiao Ming, we are not young anymore, it's almost enough." β
"Are you really willing to marry me?" Tianming repeated the same question.
"Hmm!" Meng Xin glanced at Tianming and nodded very seriously.
Sometimes, feelings are blind, but they are also accurate, Meng Xinyi doesn't know if she likes Tianming to the height of "love", but her intuition has always made her make the decision to let the two get closer, agreeing to get married, it is also a decision she made out of her heart, she doesn't regret it, and even, she plans to have a good chat with Tianming tonight to prove that she is serious.
"Eat! Eat first. Let's not talk about this topic for now. Tianming sat back in his chair and ate the table full of dishes depressedly.
β¦β¦
The Spring Festival Gala is a program that every household should watch during the Chinese New Year every year, although the stage is still gorgeous and beautiful, but the praise is not as good as year after year, but there are many people who take pleasure in ridiculing the Spring Festival Gala.
took out the cards, Tianlin and the others were playing cards around the table, and Meng Xinyi also sat on the card table, and under the guidance of the old mother, the military advisor, she also won a lot of money.
Tianming went up to the second floor. turned on the TV and watched the annual Spring Festival Gala.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is a little special, there is no singing and dancing at the beginning, and the national leader appeared on TV, gave a New Year's greeting to the people of the whole country, and then delivered a 30-minute speech.
The speech was full of emotion and was very infectious, and Tianming listened to it for seventeen or eighteen minutes, but he didn't hear a single official clichΓ©. There is a lot of vernacular, and the focus is on the difficulties and troubles that the country has encountered this year.
In 2017, the economic growth rate of country H increased from 7% in 2016. It fell to negative territory at -0.3%, and the unemployment rate increased from 5.6% to 7.8%, that is. The people of the whole country are not having a good time this year.
Rather than avoiding this issue, X did a profound review and pointed out many structural problems encountered in economic development. and the catastrophic consequences of the guide, such as environmental pollution, desertification, forced land expropriation, corruption, etc., all of which have far-reaching implications.
X Da concluded affectionately at the end:
"Our nation, five thousand years of many disasters and difficulties, again and again fell to get up and up, up and fell, but in the end still stood up, and ushered in the best development opportunity in history, as long as we unite and tide over the difficulties together, no difficulty can stop us, and no enemy can defeat us, I am willing to start from me, for the great rejuvenation of this country and the nation, contribute my best ability, the road is blue, unforgiving, and do not hesitate to die."
The plain and simple words warm people's hearts, and people are glad to have such a good leader, and at the same time, they have strengthened their confidence in surviving the difficulties: Country H must be strong.
At the beginning of the program, after a few singing and dancing sketches, the three astronauts stationed in Tiangong-3 appeared on the TV screen, introduced their lives in space, and expounded the importance of developing space.
"Outer space has our inexhaustible and inexhaustible resources, and there is an endless and vast living space for the nation of H country, and what we are doing now is to open up the space frontier for our children and grandchildren, and we are proud and proud! Every penny that the people spend on us is not superfluous and wasteful, and the property that country H has invested in space will be rewarded immeasurably in the future. Thanks to the people's support for our understanding, we will definitely use practical actions to prove that the people of country H are qualified and capable of gaining a foothold and soaring in the deep and vast space! β
2018's Spring Festival Gala, the singing and dancing are not as gorgeous as before, and the lines are not as classic as before, but it is one of the previous Spring Festival Galas with a very high praise rate, because this Spring Festival Gala is not as exaggerated as in previous years, and there are not so many gorgeous special effects, the most impressive thing is X's big speech and astronauts' space dialogue, which makes people's hearts surging and enthusiastic.
β¦β¦
After watching the Spring Festival Gala, after keeping the old year, when he was resting on the bed, Tianming patted Meng Xinyi, told her about Lan Luo, and made a confession.
Meng Xinyi's face was pale, and her feelings were extremely low, it turned out that she was still one step late, and Tianming already had a girlfriend.
"Where are you with her?" Meng Xinyi asked sadly, seemingly a little unwilling.
"It's just holding hands, kissing or something, anyway, the relationship is quite close." Tianming explained.
"Just holding hands and kissing each other? Nothing else? Meng Xinyi stopped the downward trend and asked curiously.
"Yes, but she won't let me."
Hearing this, Meng Xinyi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "In other words, she hasn't slept with you yet, right?" β
"Uh...... Let's just say that. Tianming nodded.
"That's not as close as the two of us, we both slept together, and you agreed to date me a few days ago, that is, I'm an official girlfriend, and she's just a spare girlfriend!"
Meng Xinyi said excitedly.
"How can there be a distinction between formal and backup? Lan Luo was a few days ahead of you, and I agreed to try to date you because I was afraid of hurting you...... Yes! There was a sharp pain in her arm, and Meng Xinyi twisted the flesh on Tianming's arm and said, "Obviously, you stepped on two boats!" If you say no sooner, it won't be a problem! β
"I don't care, get rid of that Lan Luo quickly, or I'll ...... with you Not to marry you! Meng Xinyi wanted to say "break up with you", but now that it's like this, she can only change her statement.
After fighting for a while, Tianming couldn't persuade Meng Xinyi to let go, and he was embarrassed to say that he could only blame himself for being too soft-hearted and not knowing how to refuse on the emotional road.
But getting married is a troublesome matter, and he can't tell SΓΉ Lanluo: he is going to marry another woman, right? It hurt her heart so much.
Meng Xinyi doesn't care about Lan Luo, if Tianming is uneven, then she will say it! The most ruthless to a woman can only be a woman, she can get this hand!
"I've held hands and kissed her, and she's already my girlfriend, so you let me do this to her?"
"Woo~" Tianming's mouth was sealed, and his hand was also pressed! After finishing the matter, Meng Xinyi clapped her hands and said proudly: "Holding hands and kissing each other, I can do it, you can go further if you want, anyway, I will be your woman in the future." β
Tianming hurriedly pushed Meng Xinyi aside, pressed her plopping heart and said, "No, no, women in competitive relationships, are they so open and scary?" β
