Chapter 513: Celebrate the New Year Together
Chang Yanzhe and Zhou Tiantian stayed by Xiaowa's side, chatting in a low voice, looking forward to a better life in the future.
The old man Yang, who was leaning on the pillow and taking a nap, heard the low whispers of a pair of children, and opened his eyelids to glance at them.
Then he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he didn't listen, so as not to embarrass the two of them.
When the two babies fell asleep, Chang Yanzhe and Zhou Tiantian came out of the house lightly and chatted with Yang Shaoming, Jiang Jundong and others.
In the kitchen, Han Caiying and others were busy frying and frying, and by more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the meal was basically good, so they beckoned someone to quickly put the table and clean up and eat.
There are many people in the family today, and there are no two tables in the dining room, so Zhou Anhe spoke and put the table in the living room.
There were many young people in the family, and a few young men worked hard, and soon set up the tables and chairs, and brought the dishes and chopsticks, and then served the dishes on the table one after another.
This is the first time that the three families have spent the New Year together, and it is estimated that it is also the only time, so this reunion dinner is very rich, with chicken, duck and fish.
There are a total of sixteen dishes, and most of them are hard dishes.
The two tables of the Zhou family are not small, even so, the sixteen dishes are a little unplaced, and the first few dishes can only be stacked.
All the dishes were served, and Yang Shaoming went into the house to help Old Man Yang out.
The two little ones on the kang were still sleeping soundly, and no one dared to alarm them, so they carefully closed the door, cut off the sound, and let them sleep.
"Come on, come on, sit down, today is a special day, our three families get together for the New Year, it's rare.
My in-laws, although I am here today, it is no different from yours.
We are all a family, no matter what we do, we will be happy for the New Year today. ”
Zhou Anhe saw that the dishes were all ready, and everyone was ready, so he beckoned everyone to sit down.
There are a lot of people in the family, so the younger one and the older one are at the table, so that everyone is more comfortable.
"Tiantian, don't you still have wine at home? Bring a few bottles, and it seems that there is wine, too.
On such a good day, don't care about men and women, drink some. ”
Zhou Anhe was very happy today, so he had to let Zhou Tiantian go to get the wine, and everyone drank something to celebrate.
"Yes, yes, it's time to have a drink today.
Tiantian, go and bring two bottles of the alpine red wine we bought a few days ago, pour them all over to your aunt, and let's taste something. ”
It's really rare for three families to get together for the New Year, and it's a pity not to drink a few glasses.
Han Caiying was also very happy today, not only did she not stop Zhou Anhe, but she also urged Zhou Tiantian to get the wine.
Mom and Dad have spoken, and Zhou Tiantian is not easy to object, just take it.
Anyway, when she bought some alpine red wine, she looked at it, not that it was an authentic red wine, or a wine made by a local winery in Tonghua, the degree was not high, and it was nothing to drink.
So Zhou Tiantian went to the cabinet, took out two bottles of liquor and two bottles of wine, and brought them over. It happens to be the same bottle at every table, so you can drink whatever you want.
Chang Yanzhe got up, helped open all the wine bottles, and poured wine for Zhou Anhe and the others.
Zhou Tiantian's side also poured wine for Han Caiying and others.
The wine was deep red in color, had a fruity aroma, and it didn't smell very winey.
"Come, let's all raise a glass, it's a New Year's Eve today, it's rare that the three of us can get together for a New Year.
Needless to say, the big guys eat and drink well, and have a lively reunion. ”
Zhou Anhe took the lead in raising his glass, said a few words, and then drank the wine in the cup.
Zhou An and the wine, everyone also echoed, and each drank the wine in the cup.
"Well, this wine is okay, it doesn't taste too much, it's just sweet and sour, it's delicious."
Han Caiying and the others didn't dare to drink it at first, but they all took a sip and felt that it tasted very good, so they drank it boldly with confidence.
Zhou Tiantian also tasted it, and immediately smiled, feeling that this should not be called wine, maybe it would be better to change it to grape juice.
The alcohol content is less than 10%, and the taste of alcohol is almost imperceptible in the mouth, but the taste is good, and it is very good for the New Year.
The table is full of good wine and food, a room of confidants and relatives, and it is rare for everyone to gather together, so they are naturally open to eat and drink, and no one cares about anything.
Yang Shaoming and Jiang Hanjun then also each brought a glass of wine, and then they were casual, eating and drinking if they liked.
The meals are very delicious, and everyone is hungry after a busy morning, so they are talking and laughing while eating the reunion dinner, which is very lively.
If there is a drinker, the meal will be eaten for a long time, starting at half past three and continuing until after four o'clock, when the meal is finished.
Zhou Anhe and Yang Xingguo all drank some wine, and their faces were red and their eyes were foggy, and they were all a little drunk. So he was taken to sleep on the kang in the house by the women.
Chang Yanzhe and the other young people didn't drink much, and they were still sober, so they helped clean up the tables and chairs, and quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
The kitchen was cleaned up, and Han Caiying and the others also went back to the living room to sit down and rest.
There are many people in the family, and it doesn't take much effort to make dumplings at night.
This year, when Han Caiying bought meat, she specially ground a lot of meat filling, which saved a lot of effort and time without chopping meat, and they could rest for a while.
Zhou Tiantian went to find the melon seeds, peanuts with skin, pine nuts, hazelnuts and other foods bought at home, and the young man went to the kitchen to cook a fire and fried melon seeds and peanuts.
After a while, they were all out of the pot, put them in a dustpan and other things to cool, and keep them for the evening when they had nothing to eat.
Everyone rested until seven o'clock, and Han Caiying and others began to mix the stuffing with noodles and make dumplings.
There are many women in the family, and there is no need for men to help, and a few people are rolling skins and bags, and they work very fast.
Chang Yanzhe originally planned to help make dumplings, but before he could get started, he was driven away by the Cao family.
"No need, there are so many of us, just a few curtains of dumplings, and they will be wrapped out quickly.
It's rare for a few of you young people to get together, whether it's talking or playing cards, you don't have to do any work.
Yo, it's not too early, is it? Hurry up and watch the Spring Festival Gala, I don't know who will perform this year? Quick, quickly turn on the TV and wait. ”
Cao's reminder, a few young men also remembered, and quickly turned on the TV to tune to the central one, just as the party had just begun.
Since they don't need to make dumplings and have nothing else to do, a few boys sit on the sofa and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Ninety-two is exactly the tenth year of the Spring Festival Gala, and the program is arranged very carefully.
The cross talk sketches are all classic, full of jokes, singing and dancing are also very exciting, and some of the currently popular bands have also participated in the Spring Festival Gala, which can be said to be wonderful and fascinating.
The women were busy making dumplings and couldn't watch the party, so they could only listen to it, and when they heard the highlights, they couldn't help but be happy.
Everyone sped up their movements, planning to finish wrapping dumplings as soon as possible to watch the party.
After all, there are many people who work fast, and before ten o'clock, the dumplings are all wrapped, so they quickly clean up, and then everyone sits down to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
