The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month worships the ancestors, and the thirty-ninth lunar month is the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Originally, during the Chinese New Year, the second uncle and the third uncle would bring their children to the old house to celebrate the New Year, and every year was extraordinarily lively.

In the eyes of outsiders, whether life is good or not, it is necessary to see the number of people eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

But this is all a showmanship for outsiders to see.

Fortunately, after Lin Ran's father died, the people in the second and third rooms looked at the status and power of their family, and their eyes were red, and they all competed to show their filial piety during the Chinese New Year every year, hoping that the old man and the old lady would be happy, and they would put such a big pie of inheritance on the heads of their families.

Looking at such a scene, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the second meal is tired and cold.

This year, Lin Ran came back for the New Year, and directly explained that this year each family will eat their own Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone is busy all year round and rarely has time to sit down and talk about their hearts, it is better to take advantage of this time to be quiet and quiet, not to engage in any big formation of reunion dinner, the family sits down loosely and loosely, and gathers again and again on the first day of the new year.

According to Mr. Lin's words, no matter how good the surface is, it is for others to see, only the inside is really good.

But Lin Ran actually knew in his heart that the old man didn't want to hear the people in the second and third rooms in the Chinese New Year's Eve night to make use of himself again, and he was secretly tempting the inheritance......

The old man and the old lady are afraid that they are completely cold.

She took care of her grandparents' thoughts, although she knew these twists and turns in her heart, on the surface, she was casual, and her attitude was very normal when she mentioned the second and third rooms.

As if nothing unpleasant had ever happened.

In the end, during the Chinese New Year, Lin Ran got up early in the morning and followed Uncle Cheng to decorate the living room and yard at home, and secretly ran to the kitchen to steal croquettes and fried small fish.

provoked Mrs. Lin to laugh and scold: "Why are you such an adult, you still ran to the kitchen to steal food, and you didn't let you eat it when it was served." ”

Lin Ran stuffed the radish balls that had just come out of the pot in her mouth, and for the first time, regardless of her image, she spoke with something in her mouth: "There is no such fragrance when you eat it on the table!" ”

Old Man Lin stopped: "Child, I always want to play during the New Year, don't you see Lao Cheng looking at her with a good eye, she can't get into trouble." ”

The old lady didn't really want to stop her, she was afraid that something would happen to Lin Ran running inside and out, and with the old man's words, she turned a blind eye and let Lin Ran play around.

Anyway, she can't do stupid things like she did when she was a child.

With the disguised permission of the second elder, Lin Ran was even more happy, and ran out before the mall closed, bought a bunch of decorations for the festival, and arranged the room at home again.

It's sweating all over my head.

Waiting for the middle of the afternoon, this is considered enough to play, so I sat down and played a few games of chess with the old couple, and by the way said homely gossip, Uncle Cheng took the nanny at home to check all the water and electricity safety of the old house, and also gave the nanny red envelopes one by one to say that they had worked hard and gave everyone a holiday.

Inside and outside the house, it's fun.

In the evening, he had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the dining room, and it was not sent from the banquet called by the restaurant, it was all the craftsmanship of his own kitchen, and Uncle Cheng wanted not to stay in the old mansion and go to a relative's house in Yancheng for the New Year. couldn't bear the sincere retention of the family of three, and finally stayed in the old house, and the four of them had a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After getting along all these years, although Uncle Cheng is nominally the housekeeper of the Lin family, in the hearts of the three of them, they have long been almost like relatives.

After eating, the table was cleaned up, and it was just the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala, so the family set up a table in the living room, and sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, making dumplings and Lantern Festival over and over again.

The Lin family is a northerner, and they pay attention to eating dumplings during the New Year, and Lin Ran has been in Suzhou City for many years, and he is also a native of the country, and he is used to eating Lantern Festival during the New Year.

Mrs. Lin spoke softly and taught Lin Ran how to make dumplings.

"You see, holding the dumplings in two hands like this, the tiger's mouth is hard, squeezing and pinching, and that's it."

As he spoke, he made a dumpling.

"You try?"

Although Lin Ran can cook, it is the first time to make dumplings, and she feels that her hands are almost not her own hands, even if there is an old lady by her side to guide, she still uses improper force and pinched the dumpling skin that Uncle Cheng just rolled out.

After pinching a few in a row, it was crooked, and Mrs. Lin shook her head with a smile: "I can see that our hands are not suitable for the kitchen." ”

However, the old man Lin, who had been watching the two of them laugh next to him, moved neatly, and the dumplings he pinched out were all ingots with thin skin and large fillings.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Mrs. Lin with a pair of eyes crookedly: "If you want me to say, Ranran's hand is still with you, it is a pair of hands that read and write." ”

Lin Ran went to see Mrs. Lin inexplicably, and the old lady couldn't help blushing: "How many years ago!" ”

Seeing that Uncle Cheng took away the dumplings that were ready to be put into the pot, there were a few unshaped dumplings wrapped by Lin Ran, and Mrs. Lin had a feeling: "Where was there such a thing in the past, even if it was a dumpling for the New Year, it was only a little pigskin residue that dared to wrap a little pigskin residue as meaty...... I still remember the first year your grandmother spent with me, in the field hospital, I remember that night the lights were not good, and I couldn't move again, so she sat on the edge of my bed, holding a bowl and feeding me dumplings one by one. ”

Regarding her grandmother's past, Lin Ran knows a little.

Mrs. Lin was also from a large family, and she stayed abroad when she was young, and when the war began, the whole family was going to take refuge abroad, but on the eve of leaving, no one expected that Mrs. Lin, who was only a teenager at that time, jumped out of the window and fled alone. Later, he contacted the army through his classmates and became a military doctor.

It was also in the army that she met Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin dusted off the flour on her body, and her eyes warmed: "It's the past so many years ago." ”

"When I first met your grandfather, I didn't have a bad impression of him at all. I think why this person is so rude, he is swearing when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, and his attitude is so arrogant, he thinks that this doctor is unprofessional and that the nurse's hands are too heavy, and at that time the dean asked me to take care of him, and I was full of reluctance. ”

Lin Ran looked at the old man Lin who was now cultivating his qi and cultivating himself, and laughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.

"Later, I learned that your grandfather led the hardest group of soldiers, and he was not afraid of death if he dared to rush to the front line, if he didn't be tough, where could he suppress the soldiers under him?"

Old Man Lin smiled and recalled: "I have long known that your grandmother, the eldest lady of a famous family, ran away from home to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and when I saw the real person, I had no other ideas, I just felt that I wanted to marry her alone in this life." ”

At that time, I felt that I couldn't read a single word, and I could only fight, and I didn't dare to tell her...... It's just that when I was about to be discharged from the hospital, I had the courage to tell your grandmother that if we can still meet after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I will marry you as my mother-in-law. ”

Lin Ran couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lin, thinking about what kind of mood she would have when she heard this.

Fate is so magical, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the two met again, not to mention, they really became a couple, and in the days that followed, they never gave up, shared weal and woe, and went all the way to the present day is still a loving couple.

Mrs. Lin was a little embarrassed: "In front of Ranran...... Wrap up some Lantern Festival, and we will celebrate the New Year together tonight. ”

When the family sat together and finished eating dumplings and Lantern Festival, it was almost time to ring the bell at midnight, Lin Ran thought about it, and told the second elder that he was going to call Mo Zhi for a New Year's greeting, so he got up and stood by the window and dialed Mo Zhi's number.

Yancheng has banned burning and banning in the past two years, but there is no sound after all, it is not like the New Year, many people have bought electronic firecrackers to come back to meet the scene, looking out of the window, you can see that many people have already arrived in the yard, just wait for the zero o'clock bell to arrive, and use the sound of firecrackers to welcome the new year.

The Mo family also made trouble tonight, and when Mo Zhi heard the phone, he found a quiet corner to pick it up, and as soon as he said a word feed, he heard the sound of the clock ringing at zero o'clock on the TV.
