Chapter 111: Another Year, Reunion Day

"Nan Nan, I went back to my hometown with your little mother for the New Year. Stuck on the table, you can play wherever you want during the Spring Festival, it doesn't matter how much you spend, Dad has enough. And ah......" Before his father's voice message was played, Zheng Nan took the lead in turning off the message.

"That's nice. It's pure. Zheng Nan roared happily, in the huge house, the only thing that accompanied her was her own voice. She especially wanted to call Qiuhua at this time, but she thought that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion, and she was embarrassed to deprive others of time.

Someone once said that when I was a child, I liked the New Year, and the New Year was counted second by second, and when I grew up, I didn't like the New Year, and the New Year was hidden day by day. But in Zheng Nan's eyes, there is no such statement, and every Chinese New Year is a kind of torture for her, a process from being horrified to unforgettable.

"Eh, why are you going, Andy?" Zhang Lan saw her son who was putting on shoes and couldn't help asking. "Pick up a friend." Before he finished speaking, Qiu Hua rushed out of the house. Zhang Lan smiled and shook her head: "This kid." Then, he suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Ouch, soy sauce, Andy, go buy me a bottle of soy sauce." However, where could Qiuhua hear it, it had already turned into a puff of smoke and slipped away. Zhang Lan looked at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner she had made halfway, and it was impossible to lack the soy sauce condiment, so she decided to go downstairs and buy it herself.

When she walked downstairs, Zhang Lan regretted it, it turned out that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and many merchants were closed and went home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. For the Chinese people, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has the same meaning as reunion, and the big guys will naturally not miss this precious time because of this small profit.

The only way to do this is to go to a small supermarket nearby, but she thinks that the price of a small supermarket is too tricky, a bottle of soy sauce is usually five cents more expensive than in a big supermarket, and now it is the New Year, maybe how much money has risen. Zhang Lan estimated that Qiuhua hadn't come back so soon, so she decided to go farther away and buy a bottle of soy sauce in a big supermarket and come back. Not only is it cheaper to go there, she thought, but she might be able to find some discounts.

Zheng Nan wandered aimlessly on the street, and unconsciously it was time for the reunion dinner. Man can fight with the heavens and the earth, but eventually he has to succumb to hunger. There was no way, Zheng Nan found a supermarket at random and walked in. The electronic board of the supermarket is playing all kinds of preferential news in red font, and those teachers and grandmothers usually stare at the information on this board when they enter here. But Zheng Nan didn't need to, she didn't have to worry about a little money, so she was ruthless, and took the attributes of the shopaholic to the extreme in the food area, she took a little from the east and a little from the west, and soon, things were piled up in the shopping cart.

"Eh, isn't this Xiao Zheng?" Just when Zheng Nan was excited about her shopping behavior, a person suddenly recognized her. Zheng Nan was startled when he heard this voice, turned his head and saw that it was Qiuhua's mother, and the large bag of potato chips in his hand fell to the ground like this, making a crisp sound.

"Ahh Hello Auntie. Zheng Nan pushed the car to the side, as if to announce her innocence. Zhang Lan stepped forward, took a look, and asked, "Wow, Xiao Zheng, why do you buy so many snacks, what should you do if you eat a bad stomach?" Zheng Nan's face was already very crimson at this time, and he was speechless.

"Ahh Auntie, what are you doing here? Zheng Nan finally found an excuse to ease the awkward atmosphere. Oh, this, the soy sauce is gone, I'll buy it, there's a discount today. Zhang Lan proudly raised the soy sauce in her hand, as if showing off her booty. Then she asked strangely: "Xiao Zheng, why are you running out to have a reunion dinner at this point?"

Zheng Nan's brows furrowed, and he said with a gloomy expression: "My dad went on a business trip, and there is no one at home." "Then how to do, if you don't eat Chinese New Year's Eve, you haven't eaten the New Year, Xiao Zheng, if you don't dislike it, come to my house to eat, anyway, our orphans and widows can't finish eating." "Don't want it, right? Auntie, I'll just eat snacks. Zheng Nan felt embarrassed and hurriedly excused himself. Do you think the food made by your aunt last time was not delicious? Zhang Lan asked tentatively. Zheng Nan denied it again and again, but he couldn't find any good explanation, so he could only follow him to Qiuhua's house.

"Auntie, I'll help you, I also helped you last May Day, I can do it." Zheng Nan felt very embarrassed to come here to eat for nothing, and was anxious to find something to do. But Zhang Lan said: "No, you can't come in today, I still come by myself for this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, understand?" With that, she went into the kitchen on her own.

Zheng Nan walked around and looked at the house. She suddenly noticed a picture frame hanging on the wall, and there were a few photos on the wall that caught her attention, which Qiuhua and her mother had dug up the old house from last time. One of the photos shows three children standing side by side, smiling brightly. But she couldn't recognize who it was, so she could only ask into the kitchen, "Auntie, who are the pictures of the three children hanging on the wall?" I only heard a voice from the kitchen: "Oh, the older one is his brother, my uncle's son." The one on the left is Qiuhua's sister, this girl went abroad with the third child, and there is no news so far. The fat boy in the middle is Qiuhua. ”

Zheng Nan touched the fat boy in the photo with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, silly Qiuhua."
