Chapter 30: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

In the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Xiangtian went to the vegetable market early in the morning and bought some fresh vegetables and live fish and shrimp.

After lunch, Li Xia's family began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In the past, Li Xiangtian would also invite Li Xia's grandparents and aunt's family to the restaurant outside for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Life is so good now, the restaurant on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, without setting a location in advance, can not find a restaurant to eat.

It's just that the restaurant is booked, not to mention the price, the taste is not good, the chef of the hotel also has to take a holiday, many dishes are semi-finished products prepared in advance, and the taste is not as good as that made by Li Xiangtian.

I don't know when it started, it seems to be customary, every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the relatives of the family come to Li Xia's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Liu Yun cleaned the sweet potatoes and yams she bought and cut them into sections. Li Xiangtian wants to make sweet potatoes and yams. This dish, suitable for all ages, is loved to eat, and the largest amount is prepared each time.

To prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the relatives of the Li family came and helped together, and Li Xia couldn't intervene, so he accompanied his grandparents to watch TV.

Before being admitted to university, watching TV was a luxury for Li Xia, even during the Chinese New Year, it was controlled very strictly, and now it's a matter of letting go, watching it casually, and I don't like to watch it.

The two little cousins were in the living room, dancing with guns and swords, the noisy roof was about to be opened, and Li Xia quietly slipped into the room.

Li Xia's mobile phone rang non-stop, thinking about it, I also know that today is a bombardment of all kinds of New Year's greetings, most of them are sent in groups, Li Xia has seen it, and almost does not reply, I feel that it is meaningless.

She unexpectedly received a call from Qin Miao, but she didn't expect that as a tutor, she could also receive a New Year's call from a student, which made Li Xia very pleased.

"Miaomiao, what are you doing?"

"I went out to play with my brother, and they were talking, but no one was playing with me."

"Is there a lively New Year there for you?"

"Same as usual."

"Aren't children the most fond of watching fireworks?"

"I heard my brother say that we can't set off fireworks here, we have to go to the designated place, and we will go after dinner."

The sound of firecrackers outside is thunderbolting.

Li Xia put the phone out, "Can you hear the sound of our guns here?" ”

"I heard a lot of noise."

"Well, before we have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here, we have to set off firecrackers, and each family's meal is different, almost all night."

"It must be fun, after eating, my brother will take me to the riverside to set off fireworks."

"Hmm. Hurry up and eat and Happy New Year! ”

Li Xia hung up the phone, and wanted to send a message to Lin Qingyuan, "Happy New Year!" ”

"Was the problem solved last time?"

"Perfectly solved."

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"What about you?"

"Eat, takeout."

"Why do you eat takeout for Chinese New Year's Eve, what about the family?"

"I went out for the New Year, and I was left with myself at home."

"Pathetic. My dad made so many delicious dishes, including king crab, boiling fish, and my favorite fried rice cake. ”

"Then you can help me eat more."

Outside, the little cousin kept knocking on the door and asked Li Xia to go out to eat.

"If there is no one at home, I go to a restaurant outside to eat, why be at home alone. I'm going to eat. ”

"Go ahead."

At this time, Lin Qingyuan was still working in front of the computer. At the end of the year, there is more work, the end of the previous year, and the development of new projects in the coming year, all of which make him anxious. It just happened that the family went abroad for the New Year, and he escaped being nagged, just clean and clean.

Li Xia was eating happily at the dinner table, and her aunt suddenly asked if she had a boyfriend, and Li Xia almost choked on the spring roll of bean paste in her throat.

Liu Yun said: "She is still young, and learning is the most important thing. ”

Auntie disagreed, "Sister, you can't keep up with the form now, you don't know how many women are left now, just the new graduates of our unit in recent years, except for one who already has a boyfriend in college who is married, and the other little girls, the conditions are really good, and they have been single." ”

"Didn't Xia Xia just go to college, it's still early."

"It's because I just went to that university that I have to keep my eyes open, find one in the school, and get out of society. You didn't watch the blind date shows on TV, they all talked about the conditions nakedly, and they also hyped that they would rather cry on a BMW than laugh on a bicycle. ”

"It's a TV show, you can't take it too seriously."

"You don't know, big cities are more exaggerated. In the park, a blind date corner is specially opened, and the scene is very shocking. The young people are too busy with work, and they are all parents, and each person puts an open umbrella in front of them, and the conditions of their children are pasted on the umbrella, what kind of apartment, and how much the salary is, all of which are clearly written. ”

"I don't know that yet. Xia Xia, have you heard of it? Liu Yun asked.

"I don't know, they're all older young people." Lai Xia Road.

Li Xiangtian went to the balcony to bring a few bottles of juice, "Don't think about things so far, eat first." ”

When Li Xia was in high school, she would tell her parents about the love between boys and girls in the class, and her mother had already been vaccinated and was not allowed to fall in love. Li Xia didn't dare to be blatant, and mentioned in front of her parents that she had a boy she liked.

Parents always think that their children are still young, but in fact, they have grown up and have begun to have little secrets in their hearts.

Li Xia thought to herself, she is also very popular with boys, didn't she just refuse one, and she will meet better ones in the future, so you don't have to worry about yourself. She was afraid that if she said it, Liu Yun might have to ask questions again, so she simply shut up and pretended to be stupid.

Li Xia's Chinese New Year's Eve program is to play mahjong. After eating, the elderly and children at home were settled, and Li Xia's parents, aunts, and uncles just formed a table.

In the past, Li Xia only had to watch it.

This year, Li Xiangtian specially prepared some change for her to play. Li Xia and her mother sat opposite each other, followed a few laps, and quickly learned, of course, not overnight, and relied on the previous ears and eyes.

I learned to know, but I was not very proficient, and I always fed the uncle-in-law who was sitting in the upper house, and soon a new stack of one-dollar bills was placed in front of me, and there was no one left.

"Give it to me, and let you see how Daddy plays cards." Li Xia gave up his place to his father.

As soon as Li Xiangtian came on the field, he asked Li Xia to learn how to look at the upper family and the next home.

Li Xia looked confused, and saw that her money slowly flowed back, and the principle of it was not understood, she admired Li Xiangtian when he played cards, he could remember so many cards, and even the cards in other people's hands could guess roughly.

Bursts of artillery rang out one after another, and the New Year had arrived.

Li Xiangtian began to make dumplings and prepare the first meal of the new year.

After they finished eating, they continued to play mahjong.

Li Xia couldn't hold it anymore and planned to go back to her room to sleep. Before going to bed, I looked at my mobile phone and there was a message from Jia Yong, and I suddenly felt sleepy.
