Chapter 142: Reunion
Gu Xia was rejected by such an obvious rejection, she was somewhat embarrassed, she didn't pout, and muttered a little unhappily: "Isn't it okay if I don't hug you?" Bad dog! ”
"Xiaoxia, don't be too anxious, Xueqiu has just recognized the master, and it is the most exclusive to outsiders, when you wait for it to be a little older, let your sister-in-law accompany you, and it will be able to give you a hug, now it is too small, and frequent changes will make it uneasy!" Gu Shaodong comforted the anxious young sister, he had experience in dealing with snow mastiffs before, and he had seen a lot in Tibetan areas, and he knew a lot about the maintenance of mastiffs. At the moment, taking this opportunity, Gu Shaodong slowly told Lin Ning some common sense in Tibetan areas about taking care of mastiffs.
Because of the existence of a small snowball, a lot of people's topics expanded around it, and in a short period of time, they broke the unfamiliarity with Lin Ning, and got along more and more harmoniously.
Dongsheng, who originally played alone, quickly became familiar with Xu Ruilin, who came with Gu Shengxia, Xu Ruilin was older, and he still remembered the little brother who played last year, although Dongsheng's impression was blurred, he was still young and didn't remember, but in the end there was still some familiarity, and children already liked to play with older children, the two children were older and one young, brother and brother, happily sharing each other's toys, and they were not happy.
The harmony of adults leads to chatting from all over the world, interspersed with the joyful voices of children, intertwined with a happy movement of a big family.
Near ten o'clock in the afternoon, the women, led by Yuan Xiuqin, moved to the kitchen and began to prepare the Gu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Because of the position, the Gu family is preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner in advance, the time is uncertain, before the big year, depending on how to arrange the most suitable time.
There are many people with great strength, each has its own division of labor, and each has prepared one or two of their own specialty dishes, and the speed of doing it will follow. The older generation has three concubines, and the younger generation has three concubines, that is, the Gu family's kitchen is quite large, plus the division of labor is clear, and it is suitable inside, otherwise the kitchen really can't stay.
As the new daughter-in-law, Lin Ning is naturally sharp-eyed and sharp-eyed, and she can do what she can do when she sees the stitches, and the last big dish is also made by Lin Ning under the guidance of her mother-in-law Yuan Xiuqin. The completion of this dish also represents the completion of the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, which can be "opened!" ”
Hearing a greeting from the kitchen, the men who were talking outside began to prop up the table and went to the kitchen to serve the food. Gu Shaoqiu chose to go into the kitchen to serve food, and when she saw him stepping into the kitchen, the third aunt of the Gu family couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Shaoqiu, is this missing your daughter-in-law?" Don't worry, we won't eat your daughter-in-law! ”
"Hahaha..." The others couldn't help but smile kindly, Gu Shaoqiu had a cold temperament since he was a child, and he rarely had the opportunity to make them laugh like ordinary children.
Of course, the result was not as they expected, Gu Shaoqiu has always been unmoving, and he has not been affected by the jokes of the crowd, but Lin Ning, who is the other protagonist, has a thinner skin, and his face is somewhat flushed, I don't know if it is the steaming heat of the kitchen, or the feeling of being slightly embarrassed at this moment, this is a period that the new daughter-in-law must experience, and Lin Ning is not exempt from vulgarity.
Jokes are jokes, and everyone did not delay the work at hand, Gu Shaoqiu, plus the three brothers from the southeast and north, and Comrade Xu Wenzhou, a son-in-law who needs to be courteous to the Yue family, several young generations quickly set up a large round table for the Gu family to have a reunion dinner.
Gu Shaoqiu took Gu Shaobei and Xu Wenzhou to serve the dishes back and forth, after Gu Shaodong and Gu Shaonan got up the table, they began to set up stools around the table, Gu Zhenhua and the three brothers did not just sit and wait for food like a big man, they and Gu Shaodong and Gu Shaonan set up stools together, and lit the big firecrackers rolled up in advance at the door, and the crackling firecrackers were deafening to vent the celebration of the New Year...
The family worked together to put the dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner on the table, first hugged the women who had been busy in the kitchen for half the night, and thanked them for their hard work for the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner.
At this time, everyone went to the table, under the leadership of Gu Zhenhua, the patriarch of the Gu family, for the first time to raise a glass to congratulate the prosperity of the motherland, the second time to raise a glass to celebrate the reunion of the Gu family, and the third time to raise a glass, it was the hard work of the women. The Gu family is open-minded, and there has never been such a bad habit that it is their responsibility for women to revolve around the pot. Men may not be able to cook, but they must respect their mothers and wives who work for them.
"Hehe, everyone is free, eat with your hands, the New Year is auspicious, how to come at will!" Simply said a few words of blessing looking forward to the future, Gu Zhenhua, as the head of the family, greeted everyone with a smile, there are not many days for the Gu family to have such a reunion, and it is only once a year, Gu Zhenhua, who has always been serious outside, can't help but take off his seriousness at this time, today he is just the identity of the elder brother, father, uncle, and grandfather, and he does not need to be as strict as outside.
After Gu Zhenhua sent his blessings for the first time, starting from the second uncle of the Gu family to the youngest Dongsheng, they all sent their blessings one by one during the meal and the subsequent New Year's Eve stage, of course, the most used of this is to wish the family all the best, I wish Lin Ning Gu Shaoqiu and Hemeimei an early birth of a noble son, of course, this sentence was also given to the first year of marriage Gu Shaonan and his wife, who are preparing to have a child recently, for Gu Shaobei's blessings, that is called looking forward to the future development more smoothly, for Gu Xia, Everyone's blessing is to make her the title of the gold list of the college entrance examination next year. The little girl's grades are good, continue to maintain, and there is no problem with college.
As for the youngest Xu Ruilin and Gu Xu, Xu Ruilin's clever mouth mixed up a series of smooth salutations and blessings, and there was a thick stack of red envelopes in his pocket, and Gu Xu, who followed his cousin Xu Ruilin, would only say a good New Year, and he also received red envelopes and filled his small pockets.
The lively celebration until midnight, the two little guys fell asleep first, and were sent upstairs by their parents first, Yuan Xiuqin and Sister-in-law He cleaned up the guest room in advance, and left everyone at home tonight, although the second uncle of the Gu family and the third uncle of the Gu family have houses in Kyoto, but they have not lived for a long time, and they still need to be cleaned up.
The Gu family's room is not small, the downstairs guest room is settled by Gu Second Uncle and Gu Sanshu's family, the upstairs guest room is settled by the younger generation, Lin Ning and Gu Shaoqiu are in the same room, and they just left Gu Shengxia's bedroom to their family.
