part326: Reunion dinner
A table of dishes with all colors, flavors and shapes, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and sat down one after another, waiting for Grandpa Xu's order.
Grandpa Xu looked at the family, his wrinkled face raised a kind and relieved smile, and he said with a full heart: "Okay, let's have dinner, today's reunion dinner, family, you're welcome." ”
When the big guys heard him say this, they moved their chopsticks one after another, and for a while the dining table was full of rustling eating movements.
Xu Zhen and their family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Donglan District two years ago, and when they came back this time, there were so many more people in the family at once, which was completely heaven and earth compared to the previous two years.
Xu Zhen and Xu Lan grabbed the chicken wings of the salt-baked chicken, Lu Wanrou was funny and helpless when she saw this: "I told you to eat it at home, and now I came back and grabbed it with the second sister." ”
Xu Zhen put the chicken wings to his mouth hard, and smiled triumphantly: "The snatched ones are more delicious." ”
Lu Wanrou shook her head undeniably.
Li Lili looked at Xu Lan, "Isn't there another one, what are you robbing?" ”
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Ming'er gnaws." ”
Su Yue cried and laughed: "He likes these bones these days." ”
Xu Lan was stunned and said: "The small ones are starving to death, and the big ones are desolate." ”
Li Lili straightened her face and educated: "Say anything during the New Year, spit and say it again." ”
Xu Lan knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly pretended to spit and said very consciously: "Let's talk about it again, we are young and orderly, brothers, friends and brothers, and the family is happy." ”
Everyone listened to her babbling words, shook their heads funny and helplessly, and continued to eat with laughter.
In a village in a county town in M City, the small houses are full of people, and the dining table is a mess, and it can be seen that they have just finished eating.
A middle-aged woman said, "Second sister and third sister, come and clean up the table." ”
When the two young girls heard this, they hurried over to pack their things.
Jian Luxi looked at the person opposite and asked flatteringly, "Is the second sister going to play at night?" ”
Jian Luwu glanced at her, "What?" Want to get out? ”
Jian Luxi nodded desperately, and his classmates asked to go out to play, but he didn't have a car, and he was alone, and his family shouldn't allow it.
Jian Luwu said calmly: "Well, but I told my friends that I would watch a movie and go out and play by yourself?" ”
Jian Luxi hurriedly said, "My classmate is waiting for me outside, you just need to take me out." ”
When Jian Luwu heard her say this, she readily agreed, "OK, I'm going to come back after midnight." ”
Jian Luxi nodded vigorously.
Jian Luwu didn't speak again, and went into the kitchen with a rice bowl full of grease.
The white-haired Grandpa Jane and Grandma Jian sat on the sofa watching TV, looked at Jian Shuhao and Shen Qinglan beside her, "Ah Yan doesn't come back, does he have anything to eat there?" ”
Shen Qinglan soothed: "Mom, don't worry, his cousin is there, they can celebrate the New Year together." ”
Grandma Jian was still a little worried, and her tone was full of melancholy and longing, "Oh, the third brother is not at home for the first time for the New Year, so I think about it tightly, call him to see if he has eaten." ”
Shen Qinglan glanced at the time of the clock on the wall, and patiently replied: "Mom, it's not dawn in Ah Yan's place yet, he's still sleeping, I'll call him later." ”
Grandma Jane was a little surprised, "Oh, it's not dawn yet, it's thirty today." ”
Jian Hongyi and they saw their grandmother like this, and they all enlightened and comforted, saying that the time in the United States is different from ours, we are in the first year of the new year, they are only in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are relatives in the United States, so there is no need to worry.
Shen Qinglan listened to the gossip of her nephews on the side, relieved and a little missed at the same time, her son was not used to spending the New Year at home for the first time.
Jian Shuhao seemed to sense her emotions and gently patted her back as a sign of comfort.
Shen Qinglan glanced at him and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, indicating that she was fine.
In a comforting voice, the familiar WeChat call ringtone rang, Shen Qinglan saw the display, and was almost so happy that she lost her mobile phone, and hurriedly picked it up, "Hey." ”
Jian Yan over there seemed to have gotten up and washed, looking at her energetically, with a smile in his eyes, "Mom, have you eaten?" ”
Looking at her son who hadn't seen her for a long time, Shen Qinglan's eyes almost turned red, and she said happily: "Eat, eat, what about you?" ”
When everyone heard Jian Yan's voice, they rushed over in a swarm, chattering, and Jian Yan didn't know what to say for a while.
Shen Qinglan was completely wiped out by the gossip of everyone, and said with a smile: "You guys don't know what to say anymore." ”
Jian Yan looked at the people on the other side of the phone, and called out one by one, "Big brother, second brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, aunt and second sister." Looking at the person who jumped in front of the phone because of the small one, he said funny, "Minghui hasn't seen you for a long time." ”
Jian Minglian looked at his uncle on the phone, and said sincerely and milkily: "Uncle, when will you come back, I will study." ”
Jian Mingyu, who was squeezed behind by everyone, heard this and shouted loudly: "Uncle, I'm in the fifth grade." ”
Jian Yan only heard his voice and didn't see him, so he had to say: "Then study hard, go up every day, I will test you when I go back." ”
Jian Mingyu said confidently: "I will, I'm not afraid, uncle, is it difficult for you to study in school?" ”
Jian Yan looked at the person who was pulled into the camera by everyone, and said softly: "It's okay, it's a little difficult, so you have to listen carefully in class, otherwise you won't understand." ”
Jian Mingyu nodded vigorously.
Shen Qinglan said worriedly: "You're okay at school, what's the weather like over there now?" Cold or not? When it's cold, wear more clothes, and buy them if you don't. ”
Jian Yan listened to her chattering words, and her heart was full of emotion, but seeing the atmosphere over there was a little sad, she teased: "I remember that you said last year that you were not allowed to come back for the New Year if you couldn't find a girlfriend, it seems that this is true." ”
When everyone heard his words, they couldn't help laughing, and they all accused Shen Qinglan, you see, now Ah Yan is really not coming back, and his girlfriend doesn't know when, what should I do?
Jian Hongfei came up with an idea, "When he comes back next year, we will arrange a blind date, and the problem will be solved." ”
"Second brother." In short, it's funny and helpless to call people, is there such a pit for my brother?
When everyone heard his words, they all agreed, looked at Jian Yan and said: "You still have a year, you either find a girlfriend next year, or you will go on a blind date, anyway, you can't help but spend the New Year at home." ”
Jian Yan sighed, "I finally know what it means to lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot." ”
Jian Luxi, who cleaned up the table and washed the dishes and chopsticks, saw everyone gathered together, leaned over to take a look, and was instantly surprised: "Third brother, are you on vacation?" ”
Jian Yan shook his head, "No, I still have class today." ”
When everyone heard his words, they all said that they would stop talking about going to class, go to eat quickly, go to class well, and talk again when they were free.
When Grandpa Jian heard this, Grandma Jian said anxiously: "Let me say a few words to Ah Yan." ”
Only then did everyone realize that the three brothers, grandparents and Jian Shuhao, did not greet Jian Yan, and hurriedly turned the mobile phone camera to them.
Jian Yan looked at the person in the mobile phone and called out obediently, "Grandparents, happy Chinese New Year's Eve, good health, all the best." ”
Grandpa Jian nodded indifferently, and Grandma Jian was a little excited, "Third brother~ looks thin, didn't you eat well, you have to eat well there, you can't skip eating." ”
Jian Yan nodded obediently, "Mmmm, I'll eat well, grandma don't worry." ”
Grandma Jian chatted a few more words, and then turned the camera to Uncle Jian and Second Uncle Jian.
Jian Yan looked at the majestic uncle and the second uncle, said hello politely, and then turned to Jian Shuhao.
The relationship between father and son is always a little different from the relationship between mother and son, in short, although he has a good relationship with Jian Shuhao, but for this father, he is still not used to calling and chatting about homely things, so he has been in the United States for so long, he has called Shen Qinglan, and has not taken the initiative to call Jian Shuhao, sometimes he wants to call, but he doesn't know what to say, for fear of embarrassing ending, so he didn't fight.
Jian Shuhao looked at his son on the other side of the phone, and said in a deep voice, "Have you eaten?" How's it going over there? ”
Jian Yan reacted and hurriedly said, "Dad, well, I'll go to breakfast later, it's all fine here, don't worry." ”
Jian Shuhao said "um" and had nothing to say.
Shen Qinglan turned the camera to herself in disgust, and said with concern: "Okay, let's stop talking, you go to eat quickly, go to class well, and remember to find your cousin if you have something." ”
Jian Yan glanced at the time on his phone, nodded and said, "Okay, I will, I'll go to breakfast first, bye." ”
"Bye-bye."
hung up the video, Jian Yan quickly gave Xu Zhen a message, packed his things and carried his schoolbag and went out, I wanted to talk to her, but the family chatted for more time than expected, so I could only have the opportunity to talk to her again.
Xu Zhen, who was chatting in the living room after eating, saw the message, sighed helplessly, sent a message to various groups, and then sat in a daze, as if because of this person, his mood was easily affected.
Li Lili looked at them and said, "Pay attention to safety when you go out tonight, there are many people outside, don't come back too late." ”
Xu Zhen remembered their zero-point votes and silently did not speak.
Lu Wanrou asked casually, "What time do you go out?" ”
Xu Wei glanced at her phone, "Eight o'clock." ”
Xu Lan bumped his eldest sister with his shoulder, "Valentine's Day, Brother Cheng come out." ”
Xu Wei said: "Well, his sister also came out, so you give me a little restraint." "Otherwise, if we meet for the first time, we will leave a bad image of my sister-in-law, and I will definitely kill him.
Xu Lan sighed: "It's amazing, we haven't married someone else yet, why are we so miserable." ”
Xu Zhen looked at the person lying on his shoulder and pretending to cry with black lines on his head, and said in a voice that was not salty or light: "I will definitely not help when my sister beats you later." ”
Xu Lan sat up all of a sudden and complained: "You are also a bad person, and you don't have to make fun of me if you don't have a male ticket." ”
"What?" Lu Wanrou and the other elders looked at her one after another and looked at her with a shocked expression.
Xu Lan: "......"
Xu Zhen: "......"
Xu Wei and other insiders: "......"
