Chapter 40: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

In the quiet living room, Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng each sat in their own corner, fortunately lazily separated between them, the atmosphere was very harmonious, as if they were a real family.

The Spring Festival Gala on TV has already begun, for Chinese, watching the Spring Festival Gala is a must do every year, no matter how busy, the moment you see the Spring Festival Gala, it is a feeling of home.

Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng would occasionally talk, discuss the program, and occasionally look at each other and smile, or he would look at me and I would look at him.

Time passed quickly, and the New Year's bell was about to ring, and Liu Shimeng got up and went to the kitchen to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Zeng Lihua still remembered to cook a dish himself, and also mixed into the kitchen.

Liu Shimeng glanced at Zeng Li's painting, and said with a soft smile: "Which dish does Teacher Zeng want to make?" Is it to do fish every year, or is it smooth sailing to do this? ”

Zeng Lihua crossed his waist with one hand, rubbed his chin with the other, and finally chose a fish that looked more accomplished.

Liu Shimeng took out all kinds of ingredients, carefully prepared ingredients for him, and once put on an apron from the painting to try his skills.

The kitchen has become a tragic battlefield again, Liu Shimeng is like a military advisor to Zeng Lihua's maze, and soon an imperfect, even somewhat deformed fish comes out of the pot.

Zeng Lihua was very excited to see his results, and he made fish for the first time in his life, although he didn't look good, he was also happy.

"Teacher Zeng, you have a lot of potential, you are doing a great job!" Liu Shimeng praised the dishes in his hand while making them, and this kind of praise was very useful for Zeng Lihua.

The midnight bell is about to ring, families are reunited, and the sound of firecrackers resounds in Qingping again.

Zeng Lihua brought plates of hot dishes to the table, and Liu Shimeng brought dumplings, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, she was especially proud, this was the first time in her life that she had made so many complicated dishes.

"Poetry dreams! It's time to pick up God, let's go set off fireworks! I'm prepared a lot! "I have left the painting.

"Good! Then we have to wear some clothes, I guess it should be cold outside! Liu Shimeng said.

Zeng Lihua grinned, returned to the storage room and took out all the firecrackers and fireworks, perhaps it is the nature of boys, and setting off firecrackers every year is always an indispensable one, especially this year.

"So much, when did you buy it, and how much does it cost?" Liu Shimeng got dressed again and exclaimed.

"When you're not at home, it's the New Year, you can only put it once a year, what it means!" Zeng Lihua grinned.

"It's too extravagant for you!" Liu Shimeng said helplessly.

After Zeng Li's painting was tidied up, he saw that Liu Shimeng was only wearing a woolen hat, so he took a thick scarf and naturally wrapped it around her neck.

"It's cold outside, you have to wear this!"

Liu Shimeng's heart suddenly moved, this picture had been owned countless times, and then disappeared after possession.

Liu Shimeng raised his head and looked at Zeng Lihua's face, it turned out to be Zeng Lihua, not the countless times.

"What's wrong?" Zeng Lihua was a little panicked when he saw Liu Shimeng's strange eyes, and immediately withdrew his hand, suddenly feeling that he shouldn't be like this, after all, such an intimate act may only exist between lovers.

"I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry...... In fact, I'm afraid that you'll be cold! "I was incoherent from painting.

"Thank you! Away from the painting! Liu Shimeng smiled.

It was cold outside, and the stars in the sky were bright, and neighbors could be seen setting off firecrackers outside.

At this time, Qingping was full of the sound of firecrackers, as well as brilliant fireworks, gorgeous and festive.

Zeng Lihua chose the widest place in the small square, and set up firecrackers and fireworks one by one.

Liu Shimeng was a little frightened, covering her ears and standing aside to watch the busy and fireworks set off by others.

Zeng Lihua's nose was red from the cold, and he ran back to Liu Shimeng's side and shouted loudly: "Shimeng, I'm going to let it go, cover your ears, I'll come over immediately!" ”

"Got it, you have to pay attention to safety!" Liu Shimeng also said loudly.

Zeng Lihua returned to the firecracker with a lit cigarette, and with his sharp movements, the firecracker crackled.

A smell of smoke and smoke instantly filled the place where they were, Liu Shimeng covered her ears and looked at the firecrackers, although she was a little afraid, she felt very lively.

Zeng Lihua lit all the fireworks and quickly ran back to Liu Shimeng's side, his red face full of happiness.

The sound of firecrackers has not fallen, the sound of fireworks sounded, and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky in an instant, colorful and colorful.

Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua both looked at the fireworks in the night sky, Zeng Li's fireworks did not fall, and the other fireworks opened again, which was particularly romantic.

"It's so beautiful!" Liu Shimeng forgot about the sound of fear, clapped her hands, and had a happy smile on her face, innocent like a child.

Zeng Li started to see fireworks at the beginning of the painting, and finally couldn't help but look at the flowers that bloomed silently in front of him.

Liu Shimeng's clean face was red by the fireworks, looking charming, and the smiling face was particularly cute.

It was the first time he saw Liu Shimeng smiling so happily, and the first time he knew that a girl like her could laugh like this, if it was so good all the time, he suddenly didn't want to see the loneliness and sadness in her eyes.

Zeng Lihua has seen the sadness and pain in her eyes countless times that do not belong to her, who is the boy in the painting? Is that how you laugh when you're with him? If so, do you have what it takes to keep her smiling?

"Okay, let's go home and eat dumplings! Maybe it's all cold! It's so cold! Liu Shimeng retracted her sleeves and quickly ran back, Zeng Lihua followed her closely.

The Spring Festival Gala has reached its peak, and the joy is abnormal, Zeng Lihua took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet and asked, "Shimeng, do you want to have a drink?" ”

"Good! It's not interesting to drink alone, I'll accompany you! Liu Shimeng got up and took out two transparent cups from the kitchen.

Zeng Lihua poured half a cup and put it in front of Liu Shimeng, and then sat down after pouring a cup himself.

"Happy New Year, Shimeng! Thank you for your hard work today! Zeng Lihua raised his glass.

"It's not hard, and I wish you a happy new year!" Liu Shimeng raised her glass and tapped it.

"Today, Chef Zeng's craftsmanship is very good, and the taste is also very good, he is really a genius!" Liu Shimeng kept praising him.

"Haha! This is all the credit of Mr. Liu, if it weren't for your divine chef guidance, it is estimated that this fish would be a scorched fish! ”

"Are we blowing each other in business? Look at this dumpling must have been made by you, it's so ugly! Liu Shimeng pointed to one of them.

"How can it be so ugly, isn't it very beautiful, Shimeng, this dumpling is your bag, and the beautiful dumplings are also exquisite!" Zeng left the painting to pick out one.

"Haha! Don't praise me like that, I'll be proud! Liu Shimeng smiled.

"I'm going to eat my own!"

"Then it's all yours!"

"It's so good to be me, it tastes different!" Zeng Lihua boasted.

"Haha! The old lady sells melons and boasts! Liu Shimeng teased.

"Wrong! It's Ah Gong who sells melons and boasts! I'm a man! "I have left the painting to correct.

"Good!"

"Shimeng, I haven't been so happy for a long time, there are dumplings, and the dishes I cooked! What a great year! Zeng Lihua said sincerely.

"Then you used to be busy!" Liu Shimeng suddenly felt some sympathy for Zeng Lihua.

Once during the Chinese New Year, even if the stepfather was grumpy, the family could get together for the New Year, and sometimes, they would spend it with Youle, without too much unhappiness.

Since the amusement and her mother left, she thought that every future festival would be the most painful for her, but the appearance of Zeng Lihua made her spend a happy Chinese New Year's Eve again.

"Yes! Chinese New Year's Eve still has to perform, wearing costumes, makeup, in fact, at that time was also very good, innocent, do not know the sinister of the world, the performance is over, everyone gets together to pack a restaurant, it is also very happy, but unfortunately with the rise of fame, there are more things, and I am more homesick during the New Year! ”

"This year, everyone may be tired, and they all agree not to perform on Chinese New Year's Eve, this is also my first time at home for the New Year, and with you by my side, very happy, very happy!"

"Actually, I thought I wouldn't be happy this year because of Mom, and ...... But because of you, I had a wonderful Chinese New Year's Eve, and I was lucky to meet you! Let's do one! Liu Shi dreamed of her mother and amusement, her heart was throbbing again, and her throat was a little choked.

"Good! Cheers! Zeng Lihua said with a smile.

"I hope that the poetry dream in the new year can get better and better, luck, health, and peace will always be with you!"

"Thank you, and I also wish you a prosperous and prosperous career!" Liu Shimeng said.

"By the way, you wait for me, I'll go get something!" Zeng Lihua quickly returned to the room, and when he reappeared, he was holding a ragdoll white rabbit in his hand, which was very cute.

"This is what I saw when I passed by, it's very cute, in fact, I like these things very much, but it's a pity that I'm a gentleman, it's not good to play this, and I can't help but like it, so I bought it and planned to give it to you!" Zeng Lihua stuffed the puppet white rabbit into Liu Shimeng's arms.

Liu Shimeng looked at the big and cute rabbit in a daze It is indeed very cute, but the reason why Zeng left the painting made her cry and laugh.

"You've already given me a lot of gifts, this is too ......" Liu Shimeng likes it very much, and is also very moved, and will buy her all kinds of dolls when she is there, and he often says that girls should buy more of these cute dolls.

"Today is the New Year, if you refuse, it will be very unlucky!" Zeng Li's painting is serious nonsense.

"Okay, I didn't say no! It's lovely! Thank you for leaving the painting! ”

"You're welcome, who told me to like it!" Zeng Lihua pulled the rabbit's ear and said, how happy he was in his heart.

After the pleasant and warm Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the two sat together again to watch the Spring Festival Gala, at first the two were talking and laughing, and finally suddenly became very quiet, because Liu Shimeng was already asleep, her head was lowered between the rabbit's ears.

Today is a long and warm day, and it is also a day when Liu Shimeng is relatively tired, in order to spend a happy Chinese New Year's Eve, she has been forcing herself to forget her mother, play, and think tired.
