Chapter 25: Chinese New Year's Eve Reunion Night
The sound of firecrackers greeted Chinese New Year's Eve, and this day felt similar to Zhao Xiaoxi both now and in his previous life. For the Chinese people, this festival with a long history is undoubtedly an extremely important day of the year.
On this day, the people are ready to remove the old and welcome the new and have a reunion dinner. Family is the cornerstone of society, and the annual reunion dinner fully demonstrates the mutual respect and love of family members of the Chinese nation, and this mutual respect and love makes the relationship between the family closer.
On this isolated island, family reunion is often more satisfying, and the family is spiritually comforted and satisfied. The old people see that their children and grandchildren are full, and the family is enjoying the peaceful and peaceful life now.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who came back from the slave camp, looked at the relatives gathered together, and felt very satisfied. For him, coming into this world is perhaps the most cherished thing.
Although Wang Tu's hegemony has just begun, Zhao Xiaoxi knows that the hard work and dedication at this moment are precisely to protect the smiling faces of thousands of people in the world. If he doesn't work hard, maybe this kind of smiling face will disappear from the faces of the Han people in the future.
Since the fall of the Song Dynasty, it opened the prelude to the Chinese nation being dominated by Fanbang. Although there are still some Han dynasties behind, in the eyes of many people, China after Yashan has lost too much of its true color.
As a Chinese nation with a history of 5,000 years, it will lag behind European and American countries that are still in a state of wilderness in the future. In Cho's view, this is a very difficult thing to believe.
He is fortunate to be reborn in this era with the memories of his previous life, so he is about to open a future revolution related to the Chinese and Han people. He wants to leave the Han nation with a prosperous future in this era.
Now the land under his feet is only afraid of a piece of him leading the Han people. A springboard to the world. He hopes to tell the world that the world is far bigger than they imagined, and they don't have to just stare at their own one-third of an acre.
As long as they dare to take risks, as long as they dare to have a pioneering spirit, they will find that there are still many unknown things waiting for them to explore in this world. And the footsteps of the Han people. It doesn't stop at this ancient place.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's return, Princess Xu, who was surrounded by a group of prospective daughters-in-law, also scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, on a big day like today, you still refuse to be idle!" Hurry up and change your clothes, and wait for a family meal. ”
was scolded by his mother with a smile, and Zhao Xiaoxi didn't dare to say anything, so he went back to the room twice and changed into clean clothes. Re-entered the living room. At this time, the round tables in the entire hall were filled with sumptuous food.
For Xu Wangfu, this may be a reunion day that has not been seen for a long time. Even after Zhao Xiaoxi became an adult, he would not have the opportunity to go home for the New Year. And this year, the family finally gathered here, which is quite rare.
Coupled with Duan Zhengchun and his group, today's royal family banquet sat at several large tables. It's just compared to the servants' tables. They were all placed outside the courtyard, and Zhao Xiaoxi and the others sat in the living room to eat.
But Zhao Xiaoxi also deliberately looked at the food of those servants. Although it is not as rich as the main table, it is also a hundred times stronger than ordinary people's homes. It can be said that it is also an enviable thing to be able to enter the palace as a servant in this year.
As the steward said that he could start to sit at the table, the servants of the palace did not forget it. Light firecrackers before the feast begins. With the sound of crackling, this year's royal Chinese New Year's Eve banquet officially began.
As the head of the family, Zhao Hao also seemed to be very happy, and at the invitation of the two brothers Zhao Xiaoxi, he sat on the main seat with Princess Xu. And Duan Zhengchun and a few confidants. also dined at the same table with Zhao Hao.
As for Zhao Xiaoxi, he handed over the work of entertaining these elders to the eldest brother and sister-in-law. He accompanies him, and his harem group is from another table. The two tables were also full, and they looked quite prosperous.
Zhao Hao, who held the wine glass, said happily: "Tonight is the first Chinese New Year's Eve that our family has spent here. As the head of the family, I hope that next year, we will have a better start and a more lively Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Although there are not many words, it makes everyone sigh very much, such an opportunity for reunion. For them, there are also few opportunities in this life. Coupled with being on this isolated island, this reunion is even more precious.
With Zhao Hao toasting and drinking with everyone, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also officially started. As a guest, Duan Zhengchun also felt that this kind of family banquet-like Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was more warm than the previous banquets in the Dali Imperial Palace.
As a son, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally went to his father's table and accompanied Lao Tzu Zhao Hao to toast with his cheap father-in-law Duan Zhengchun. Listening to Zhao Hao, he said with a little deep meaning: "Xiaoyun, you are not young, you have to work hard next year, let us hold our grandson as soon as possible!" ”
In a word, the pretty faces of the girls sitting next to him were flushed, but Zhao Xiaoxi still nodded and said, "Okay, my son must work hard." As long as you and your mother don't think your son will have too many children and grandchildren in the future. ”
In response to this, Princess Xu scolded with a smile: "You bastard boy, why do you say such foolish things? Who would have more children and grandchildren? It's okay, you just give me a few more births each, and I'm happy to take care of it! ”
Seeing that his mother said this, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say anything more. And then the toast of the eldest brother Zhao Xiaoqian is naturally indispensable to such an admonition. It seems that this pair of elderly people who have come to the island to retire are really looking forward to the arrival of their grandchildren.
Facing Zhao Hao's expectations, Zhao Xiaoqian said with a smile: "Father, mother, there is a news that my son has not said. Two days ago, Xiaoqi said that she was a little unwell, and I asked the medical officer to check it on her. Guess what the doctor said? ”
Belch! As soon as these words came out, the two old men were a little surprised and stunned for a moment. Zhao Xiaoxi, who was the only one on the side, looked at the pretty face of his sister-in-law Liu Qitong, and immediately said happily: "Big brother, is your sister-in-law happy?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Princess Xu immediately got up from the stool and asked Liu Qi, "Qi'er, is this true?" ”
Liu Qi, who is the daughter-in-law, got up a little shy when she heard this: "Back to my mother's words, the medical officer said so!" ”
As soon as she heard that Liu Qi was finally pregnant, Princess Xu immediately said excitedly: "Okay, okay, our Zhao family finally has a queen." Are you deliberately hiding it from us? Why don't you tell us about the things that you are happy about? ”
It was the turn of Zhao Xiaoqian, who was also radiant, and said with a smile: "Mother, isn't this a surprise for you two elders!" Since the beginning of marriage, you have all worried about our affairs, and it is not a joy to say this at this time today? ”
Although Zhao Xiaoqian has always said that this kind of descendant matter is still natural. But as the prince of King Xu and a man, he naturally hopes to continue the bloodline. When he heard the news that day, he was not overjoyed?
Even in order to confirm the matter of Ximai, he deliberately found two more medical officers for consultation, until these medical officers all said. Liu Qi felt unwell, and it was the disease of joy that made the couple finally relieved.
Just when everyone was immersed in this good news, Zhao Xiaoqian also raised his glass happily, came to Zhao Xiaoxi and said, "Second brother, this glass of wine is a big brother to you." If it weren't for your suggestion, maybe Big Brother wouldn't have heard this good news now. ”
This made everyone ask with some curiosity, and Zhao Xiaoqian explained with a smile: "I heard the medical officer say that Xiaoqi's happy pulse should have just appeared. Therefore, she should have conceived after going to the island.
When I first arrived on the island, my second brother told me that this kind of thing should go with the flow, take Xiaoqi outside for a walk, as long as you are in a good mood, this kind of thing will move sooner or later. As a result, I didn't expect the good news to come so quickly! ”
For everyone's eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi said helplessly: "Big brother, I'm a man, but I can't do anything to send my son Guanyin." The sister-in-law can get pregnant, but it can only be said that the eldest brother has spent a lot of effort! ”
This kind of ridicule is a bit meaty, and everyone who listens to it laughs. It's just that compared to Zhao Hao and Duan Zhengchun's laughter, these women who have gone through personnel give Zhao Xiaoxi a shy look.
Only Wang Yuyan and Li Qinglu, who didn't quite understand what this meant, quietly asked Jin Yun'er and Mu Wanqing why everyone laughed so loudly. After listening to their explanations, the two girls also blushed.
After coming to settle on the island, Zhao Xiaoxi did not ask for Li Qinglu's body. Originally, Li Qinglu thought that Zhao Xiaoxi would dislike her. But after listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's explanation, I knew that he planned to get married.
What's more, there are still three daughters on the island, Jin Yun'er, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling. Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't have to worry at all, there is no woman to warm his bed at night. Therefore, Li Qinglu has always maintained a complete body.
For Wang Yuyan, during her time on the island, she was a little depressed when she saw Zhao Xiaoxi treating her as tepid as before. But she is really ashamed to talk about this kind of thing, let alone have a relationship with Zhao Xiaoxi.
As for Ah Zi, who is still young now, she has no plans to marry at all. During the time she came to the island, her greatest pleasure was to mingle with Kim Yuna's four maids every day, and wander around the island when she had nothing to do.
And Ruan Xingzhu, who married a daughter, also didn't worry much about Ah Zi's marriage. On the contrary, she hopes that this daughter can spend more time with her. After all, after Ah Zhu married Qiao Feng, he has not returned since he left.
Li Qingluo, who knows her daughter's thoughts, sees Wang Yuyan's appearance during this time, and she also knows that she is obsessed with Zhao Xiaoxi. But Li Qingluo knows that with Wang Yuyan's temperament, she may not be able to accept such a life in the future.
Now watching everyone gather together, Li Qingluo feels that she should find a time to talk to Wang Yuyan. There are some things that you have to face sooner or later. If she misses this opportunity, Li Qingluo can't guarantee how sad Wang Yuyan will be.
After all, Wang Yuyan's age is different from Ah Zi. If the new city is built next year, Zhao Xiaoxi will hold a big wedding, and Wang Yuyan will not have it. What a big blow is this to Wang Yuyan, who is obsessed with Zhao Xiaoxi? (To be continued......)
