Chapter 64: Chinese New Year

Sending off the ancestors, the reunion of the Lin family in the Chinese New Year's Eve officially began. The family sat together and waited for Grandpa Lin to speak. Every time it is time for the New Year's reunion dinner, Grandpa Lin will always say a few words similar to the year-end summary, and then say some expectations for the coming year. "Everyone has worked hard this year. But our days are getting better and better. Zhihong's new house is up. Zhifei's craftsmanship is also about to be released. Meiyi also interned. My mother's burden and I are finally lighter. ”

"Meiru is going to have a baby next year. Life is also satisfactory. Now I'm just waiting for Zhifei and Meiyi to talk about a good partner. I will give you a wedding wine in a beautiful way, so that the lifelong events of several of you can be considered to be done. I'm also a matter of heart. Grandpa Lin looked at Lin Zhifei and Lin Meiyi with a smile.

Lin Zhifei was a little embarrassed: "Daddy, don't worry. I'm learning a craft now, and I haven't graduated yet. When I get out of the school and have some money in my hand, you and my mother will help me see which girl is good. Lin Zhifei also wants to talk about a wife, but now he has no money in his hand and no capital to please his wife. It seems that I have to work harder and have better craftsmanship, otherwise when will I be able to get a wife?

Grandma Lin is also happy. "I'll help you see the truth first. The girl in the village knows the roots. If you don't like the girl in the village, then I'll ask someone to help you find people from other villages. "Although my own Zhifei is not tall, he has a good face. As long as the craftsmanship is good, there will definitely be a girl who likes it.

Speaking of which, most of the men and women in Jiangnan are not tall, and they are all delicate, small and exquisite. I don't know if the Lin family is genetically good or other problems, although Lin Zhihong does not have a figure of 1.8 meters, he is also 1.75 meters tall. Liu Xiaoying is 1.6 meters tall. I don't know how tall Lin Shuang will grow in the future, but now it can be seen that Lin Shuang's legs are not short.

Let's get back to the point. Compared with Lin Zhifei's embarrassment, Lin Meiyi's performance was a little indescribable. If you want to say that it is a little girl's shyness, it doesn't look like it, a bowl of rice is served in her hand, and she counts the rice one by one. Grandma Lin saw that her little daughter was eating dry and not eating vegetables, so she sandwiched a chopsticks fish belly and gave it to Lin Meiyi.

"Come, eat more, you've been interning outside all year long, and you've lost weight. It must be too hard to work on usually. At home on vacation, I'll get more dishes you like to eat, and you can eat more. The little girl is too thin and not good-looking. "Grandma Lin has always been a little partial to this youngest daughter. When I was young, I ate a lot of milk, and when I grew up, I did well in school, and I will graduate and become a teacher in the future. When the time comes, she will find a good family to marry, and Grandma Lin feels that the happiness of her little daughter's life is predictable.

"Mom, what do you want from your future son-in-law?" Lin Meiyi felt that she could beat the side drum with her mother first. To be honest, this time Lin Meiyi went to the field for an internship and met a man, and the two of them had the same views on things and could talk about it very well. After knowing each other for a long time, the two have also held their little hands and kissed their small mouths. Things between men and women are only the last step away from breaking through.

Although that man has always wanted to come back with Lin Meiyi and meet the parents of the Lin family, Meiyi has always been worried that his parents will not like it, because that person is very good, but he is not good at all, and he is nearly ten years older than Lin Meiyi! This point is not good, it is enough to make Lin Meiyi's favorite marriage a soup.

Grandma Lin saw her little daughter's small actions when she was eating, and it was estimated that this little daughter had someone she liked, so she asked first: "Mom doesn't have any requirements, it's best if you can marry closer." Your dad and my buddies and I can take care of you a little bit. If there's anything, we can get it as soon as you shout. If there is another one, the quality of the person should be good. I don't want to be rich and rich, I just hope that the person you marry in the future will be really good to you. ”

Lin Meiyi was holding a bowl in her hand, she didn't know what to say, she directly confessed to her family that she had found a partner, but the object was ten years older than her, and she still said something to make her mother happy. At this time, Lin Shuang helped to relieve the siege.

"Grandma, grandpa told you to go get wine." The rice wine brewed by Grandma Lin is famous in the whole village. It's just that Grandma Lin usually watches closely and is not very willing to let Grandpa Lin drink more. So through the New Year at home, the family is reunited, how can there be less wine when you are so happy.

Grandma Lin got up and went to get a barrel of wine. Compared with liquor, home-brewed old liquor is sweet in the mouth, and the main thing is that no matter how much you drink, even if you are drunk, your head will not hurt the next day. There is no such sad feeling as a hangover. This makes it very comfortable for drinkers. Just like northerners like to drink baijiu, most people in the south like to drink home-brewed old baijiu, as well as rice wine.

When a barrel of wine was brought up, the men in the family poured a bowl, at least the women, more or less according to the amount of wine. Even Lin Shuang made Lin Zhihong take a small bite of it funny. "Shuangshuang, this wine is delicious?" Lin Zhihong asked Lin Shuang how he felt while feeding Lin Shuang wine.

"Well, it's not delicious, I still like to eat sweet wine." Sure enough, the little girl still thought the sweet stuffed was delicious. Lin Shuang has seen Grandma Lin brew old liquor. In Lin Shuang's cognition, old liquor and sweet wine are made of rice, and if the time is short, it is sweet wine, and if it is long, it is old liquor. On Lin Shuang's food list, wine-brewed balls have always been among the best.

Speaking of this wine-stuffed balls, Lin Shuang was greedy again, and took Grandma Lin's hand and asked, "Grandma, do you want to eat soju stuffed balls tomorrow?" ”

"Okay! Good! "On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is a habit of eating balls, as for whether you are served with wine or brown sugar, it is up to you.

After the reunion dinner, in order to celebrate the New Year, the family decided to play poker. Poker is something that can be played twice by men, women, and children. However, Grandma Lin usually plays another leaf card in the shape of a long strip the most. That kind of card Lin Shuang has never been able to understand, some are drawn like flowers, and some are all lines. But the old ladies and women sometimes only look at the corners to know which card it is. Is this called practice makes perfect?

But this time, instead of playing leaves, everyone played poker together.

"Big brother, you have to prepare more banknotes today. I want to win more, otherwise I won't be able to pay the New Year's money for Shuangshuang tomorrow! Lin Zhifei joked while touching the cards.

Lin Zhihong didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed: "Come on!" I'm not going to let you do it now. Whether you win or lose is up to you. "Although Lin Zhihong plays cards, this thing also depends on luck. No matter how good your poker skills are, if you don't have any cards coming in, it's all for nothing. Sometimes a novice and a veteran play cards together, and it is the newbie who wins, and this is the luck of the novice.
