At this time, Ning Guangming took off the apron on his body and said to Ning Xin: "Girl, it's time for you to help your mother, I'll talk to Xiao Chu." ”

Ning Xin coquettishly shouted: "Mom, look at my dad, he is making excuses to be lazy again." ”

Li Ping smiled in the kitchen: "Girl, it's the New Year, let's spare him for the time being." ”

Ning Xin grabbed her apron, made a grimace from Ning Guangming, and went into the kitchen.

The windows in the whole small building are bright and clean, and all kinds of fruits have already been placed on the coffee table.

Ning Guangming pulled Chu Tianshu to sit down on the sofa, and just asked about the recent work, Ning Xin came out of the kitchen with a small bench, sat on it to pick vegetables, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Chu, come and help me pick vegetables." ”

Chu Tianshu got up from the sofa, took off his shirt, hung it on the hanger in the corner, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to go over to help, but he didn't take a few steps before he was pulled back by Ning Guangming with a smile.

Ning Guangming pretended to be angry and said, "You girl, Xiao Chu is a guest here, how can I help you pick vegetables, I don't know any politeness." ”

Ning Xin was not at all stunned by her seemingly majestic father, she squeezed her nose and said, "Dad, I know that you are afraid that Brother Xiao Chu will come to help me pick vegetables, and my mother will send you a job." Hee-hee. ”

"Xiao Chu, you see, my girl is spoiled by me, and she is unreasonable." Although Ning Guangming was complaining in his mouth, his eyes were full of kindness.

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "Hehe, Uncle Ning, you and your aunt are probably looking forward to this unreasonable girl coming home every day." You see, how nice the atmosphere is in this home. ”

Ning Guangming laughed: "Ha Lu, Xiao Chu, I thought you would be on my side." Fortunately, I'm a complete minority in my family. ”

The two sat on the sofa and chatted for a few words, Ning Guangming asked about Chu Tianshu's family situation again, Chu Tianshu answered one by one, and explained that the construction period of the business circle was a bit tight, and the work would not be stopped during the Spring Festival, so he told his parents that he would take time to go home to visit his parents after the New Year.

Speaking of which, Chu Tianshu is a little uncomfortable, and his parents must be looking forward to a family reunion during the Chinese New Year.

Ning Guangming encouraged: "Xiao Chu, do more work while you are young, you will not be tired." As long as you can have a chance, parents can be happy. Don't look at me for Ning Xin's girl, but if she is willing to break through, I raise my hands in approval. ”

"Hey, Dad, you're not trying to drive me out." Ning Xin protested loudly: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying home with my parents." ”

"It's not promising!" Ning Guangming scolded with a smile.

"Uncle Ning, you're right, a soldier who doesn't want to be a commander is not a good soldier." Chu Tianshu said with a little sadness: "But sometimes when I calm down and think about it, I feel that I owe my parents too much. ”

It is also human nature to miss relatives during the festive season.

At this moment, Li Ping leaned against the kitchen door, leaned out a face, and shouted at the two people in the living room: "Xiao Chu, if you don't mind, just treat this as your own home." ”

Ning Guangming also said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Chu, don't be polite, the girl is not at home, I often go to the army, you can come home to talk to your aunt when you are free." ”

Chu Tianshu said movingly: "Well, Aunt Xie Luxie." ”

Ning Xin said again: "Dad, you want Brother Xiao Chu to come, you can take the opportunity to have a drink." ”

Ning Guangming glared at her and threatened in a low voice: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I will lock you up." ”

Ning Xin stuck out her tongue and picked up the picked vegetables and entered the kitchen.

The two sat down, ate peanuts and continued to chat, and just after saying a few words, Ning Xin poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Brother Xiao Chu, my mother asked me to ask you, is the sea bass steamed or braised in the sea?" ”

Chu Tianshu said embarrassedly: "Ning Xin, you tell your aunt, I don't understand this, just make it according to the usual taste." ”

Ning Xin said: "Okay, Dad's taste is heavy, so let's braise it." ”

Ning Guangming laughed and said loudly: "Lao Li, where does Xiao Chu understand this kind of mother-in-law's mother-in-law's affairs, you cook well, we play chess." ”

"Hehe, where do I have to ask, it's your girl who is self-inflicted."

"Mom, what did you say?" Ning Xin's face flushed, and she ran to the study to bring out the Go.

"Come on, Xiao Chu, don't care about them, let's play chess." Ning Guangming put the wooden chessboard on the coffee table and pulled Chu Tianshu to play chess.

In college, Chu Tianshu also played Go, but he hadn't touched a chess piece for a long time after graduation, he felt very rusty, and it was the first time he played against Ning Guangming.

When packing up the chess pieces, Ning Guangming said: "Xiao Chu, playing chess is like fighting, you must have the courage to kill and decide, and you can't be afraid of your hands and feet. The same is true in work and life, when the interruption continues, it is chaotic. ”

Chu Tianshu nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Ning, you are so right, sometimes I also feel that I am still a little indecisive. ”

"Hehe, come again, come again." Ning Guangming was very happy, this time let Chu Tianshu take the lead in the black.

In this game, Chu Tianshu calmed down, and the chess was both rigid and soft, and he moved step by step, which soon made Ning Guangming fall into a long exam.

Ning Guangming glanced up at him, and saw that Chu Tianshu's face was light, implicit but not revealing, so he was a little more satisfied with this young man who seemed to be Svenwen, he was not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, not panicked, and had a peaceful mentality, it was not easy, he didn't seem to be able to do this at his age.

In fact, Chu Tianshu and Ning Guangming's chess skills are almost the same, but in this game Chu Tianshu admitted the truth, Ning Guangming was a little underestimated, and when he was on the same footing, what he competed with was mentality.

However, Chu Tianshu was not in a hurry, calmly responded, and finally caught a loophole that Ning Guangming was not easy to detect, and immediately made a decision to divide one of his big dragons, Ning Guangming was immediately shocked, began to grin, rubbed his shaved and blue jaw with his hand and said: "Admire, admire, what a clever move." ”

Chu Tianshu hurriedly said modestly: "Luck, luck." ”

Who knew that Ning Guangming glared at him, and brazenly attacked near the break point in the middle of the abdomen, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

Ning Guangming deserves to be a commander, and when he is strategically disadvantaged, he tries to overwhelm his opponent in momentum and destroy Chu Tianshu's psychological defense line in order to redeem the defeat.

Chu Tianshu was slightly frightened, looked up at Ning Guangming, and saw that he was desperate for his life, and couldn't help but feel a little weaker in his heart, and was hesitating whether to fight hard or give in slightly, but saw Ning Xin standing aside with a smile, secretly making a ruthless gesture to himself, and suddenly made up his mind to give it a go.

You have been going back and forth for a few rounds, and after the last, Ning Guangming has missed a robbery, and one of the two big dragons that has been divided must be unsafe, seeing that the general trend has gone, Ning Guangming is very happy to admit defeat.

Ning Xin couldn't help but giggle, laughing so hard that the flowers and branches trembled, and when the laughter stopped, she raised her face and said, "Dad, you think Xiao Chu is horsepower, you will be in a mess as soon as you are scared." ”

Ning Guangming pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "You girl, you are really a girl's foreign minister, you don't help your father, you actually help her outsiders to come." ”

"Mom, listen, my dad is playing tricks again." When Ning Xin heard this, she quit, she shouted into the kitchen, "Didn't you just say that Brother Xiao Chu is not an outsider?" ”

Li Ping walked out of the kitchen with a smile and said, "You father and daughter, you are very affectionate if you don't see each other, and you are always noisy when you meet." Alright, alright, tidy up the table and get ready for dinner. ”

"Okay, it's time for Chinese New Year's Eve." Ning Xin happily ran to the dining room, humming a song and starting to set up the dishes and chopsticks.

A pungent fragrance overflowed from the kitchen, and the rich fragrance immediately filled the living room and dining room.

Chu Tianshu hurriedly and carefully put the black and white pieces on the chessboard back into the box, placed them neatly, went into the bathroom to wash his hands carefully, and went to help Ning Xin serve food.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen vegetarian meat dishes had been served, and the four of them were sitting around the dining table, Ning Guangming glanced at Li Ping, and sneered and picked up a bottle of wine that Chu Tianshu had just brought, as if talking to himself: "Well, what does this wine taste like, open a bottle tonight and try it." ”

After Ning Guangming opened the lid, he smiled at Li Ping and Ning Xin: "Do you two come a little?" ”

Ning Xin glanced at Chu Tianshu diagonally opposite from the corner of her eye, and said to Li Ping: "Mom, this wine smells very fragrant, otherwise, I'll have some too." ”

"You little girl, what kind of liquor do you drink?" Li Ping glanced at her with a smile and whispered, "Let's have some wine bars." ”

Ning Xin hurriedly went to the wine cabinet and took a bottle of Changyu dry red.

Chu Tianshu took it, opened the red wine bottle, filled it for Li Ping, and was about to pour it for Ning Xin, but Ning Xin covered the cup and said, "Brother Xiao Chu, sit down, I'll come by myself." ”

Li Ping and Ning Guangming looked at each other and smiled.

Ning Guangming picked up the blue and white porcelain wine bottle and filled the two wine glasses, Chu Tianshu excused himself and said, "Uncle Ning, I'm still driving." ”

"How can you not drink alcohol at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Ning Guangming said: "The car won't drive, I'll send you back in a while." ”

Chu Tianshu said: "Then how embarrassing, the soldiers also celebrate the New Year." ”

Li Ping chuckled and said, "Xiao Chu, let's have a drink with your Uncle Ning, if it's really late, don't go back." ”

Ning Xin also persuaded: "Yes, yes, Brother Xiao Chu, my dad has been hungry for a long time, he has been chattering all afternoon, just waiting for you to accompany him to have a good drink." ”

"Ha Luha, you have been talking all afternoon, why did it come to me." Ning Guangming came to his senses, turned his head to Chu Tianshu, raised his glass and said, "Xiao Chu, don't see outside when you get home, come, drink." ”

Chu Tianshu hurriedly stood up and said in a loud voice: "I respect my uncle and aunt, and I wish my uncle and aunt a happy life and good health in the new year." ”

The four of them happily toasted.
