Chapter 0557 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
There were a lot of people coming to tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
The Lu family has six large and four small.
The Han family is three large and one small.
The Hu family is four big and one small.
There are more Wang families, seven adults.
There are twenty adults and six children in the family.
It is still divided into three tables.
A table of men, nine.
A table of women, eleven.
Six children at a separate table.
In the past, the children were small, and they made do with it on the small kang table in the West Winghouse.
Not anymore.
A round table was also arranged for them.
Packed the living room of the Lu family.
The biggest difference between this year's menu and previous years is that the amount of seafood has been increased.
Steamed king crab, steamed three directly, one per table.
Braised abalone.
The abalone in this dish is shelled, and the abalone meat is braised directly.
White boiled shrimp.
Each one is as long as a tachyon.
Is it a lobster I don't know, it's big anyway.
Chilled sea cucumber.
The thickness of the thumb, from Dalian.
As for chicken, duck, fish, and goose, these are already home-cooked dishes.
Now it's the greens that attract people rarely.
Sour and spicy shredded potatoes.
Boiled lotus root slices with pepper oil.
There is no lotus root in the Northeast, this thing is something from the South.
People in the Northeast are scarce.
Braised greens in oil.
Made of oyster sauce, look good at color.
The biggest feature of Chinese New Year's dishes is that they are oily.
In the past, every family was poor, and it was very difficult to stir-fry and cook with oil.
Lu Changhua remembers that when he was a child, he also ate lard with noodles.
Just to borrow a taste.
Up to now, it's been 2000 years, and this problem has not changed.
The meals are willing to put oil.
This is the main reason why the stir-fried food in the restaurant is more fragrant than the stir-fried food at home.
They put oil harder.
Three tables are set up, and one after another delicacies are served.
The card players in the living room are no longer playing.
They pushed away the mahjong tiles in front of them and got up to wash their hands.
Han Ying brought the washbasin, steaming hot.
"Uncles and uncles, let's eat together."
"It's coming, it's coming."
The old beard was the first to run over and wash his hands.
Han Jianhua pulled Lao Lu and said that there was a problem with the playing style of this painting just now.
Wang Dejiang listened to it with a smile, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time.
Uncle Mediterranean is very happy.
Lao Lu was his successor just now.
He went to the toilet, but when he came back, Lao Lu wouldn't let him.
He had been sitting behind Lao Lu, pointing fingers.
is still arguing with Han Jianhua.
It was dark outside at five o'clock.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is about to begin.
The children who were setting off the guns outside in the dark were also called back by Lu's mother.
Wang Yao patted the snow on his son Sheng Yu's body.
"Where are you going crazy? It's covered in snow. ”
She nagged her son, but her eyes looked at her daughter.
"Mom, we're at the door, we haven't gone far."
Seeing that her mother was blaming, Nuomi hurriedly explained.
"What's the matter with the snow on my brother's body? Did you fall? ”
"Well, we ran in front, and he ran with him, and he accidentally fell."
Glutinous rice felt aggrieved.
Why did my brother blame himself when he fell?
"When I go out to play in the future, I have to take care of my younger brother, who is young."
Lu Changhua leaned over and said.
Then he said, "Okay, wash your hands and eat in a while." ”
By the time the adults had washed their hands one by one.
Then change the water and wash the children's hands.
The adults are already seated.
The children also rushed up and took their seats.
In the past few years, the work of moving wine has basically been taken over by Hu Dagui.
The Lu family went into the West House to worship their ancestors, so he took advantage of his efforts to go to the warehouse and brought in a box of wine.
This is Lu Changhua's wine at home, but it is not sent by the eldest brother.
When Lao Lu and the Lu family came out of the West House, everyone gave up their seats again.
"Dagui, pour wine."
"Okay."
At the banquet, the person who holds the wine bottle has the most right to speak.
Originally, in the Lu family, it is said that the Lu family has the right to drink.
However, over the years, everyone has become accustomed to eating and drinking at the Lu family, and has regarded this as their own home.
What's more, Hu Dagui only comes back once a year, so it's okay to make him majestic.
Save this kid always feels that he is not at home and suffers.
Hu Dagui was busy pouring wine for everyone.
Wu Yue is also at the women's table.
Wang Yao pulled Han Ying and said confidant.
The other old ladies also had a short chat.
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that the wine was full, Lao Lu coughed lightly.
The head of the family spoke, and the crowd was silent.
"Well, it's 2000, ah. They all say that the millennium is very special this year. ”
"But I don't feel anything special."
Old Luke paused.
"The big guys have been together for many years, and they are all good friends and good neighbors. In this life, I am quite content! ”
"The two children are now branching out, each with their own things to do."
"As for me, it's good to raise the elderly at home and take care of the children."
Everyone nodded their heads and agreed.
It's pretty much the same these days.
Several old men were smiling.
The old lady at the next table listened too.
"Don't say more, I hope that in the coming year, our days will be better and better."
Lao Lu raised his glass, and Hu Dagui applauded!
"Look at my Uncle Lu's level, it's getting higher and higher every year. Dad, you learn too. ”
The old beard smiled.
"That is, if your Uncle Lu is not level, can he cultivate two good sons? I see, you have to study hard, too. ”
Hu Dagui was swept up by his father.
Also follow hey hey a pleasure.
These two are strange if they are not their own!
As soon as this glass of wine was over, Lao Lu said to Han Jianhua next to him: "Brother Han, do you say a few words?" ”
"Say a few words?"
"Say a few words!"
Han Jianhua also coughed and started talking.
"This and this, comrades......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the next table burst into laughter.
Aunt Han rolled her eyes impatiently.
"Dead old man, how many years have you been retired, and you are still comrades!"
"Hahaha, Dad, you are not a big cadre, and your official tone is not small."
"Hahaha, hee-hee-hee."
The woman laughed at the table.
Many people at this table can't help but laugh.
Han Ying was right.
At the men's table, the third uncle's level is the highest.
Last year, he was promoted to deputy director of the Black Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau.
It can be regarded as a deputy provincial cadre.
Rumor has it that there may be a transfer in his job.
This is what Lu Changhua heard from his sister-in-law, and he didn't dare to ask.
There is also a secondary hall on the table.
It's Lu Changzhong.
A county-level city is not a county.
The county level is right, and he has been promoted by half a level.
Speaking of which, Lu Changhua still has more than 100,000 people under his command, although he has no rank.
Which of these three people is older than Han Jianhua.
"Uh......"
Seeing that everyone was laughing at him, Han Jianhua's old face turned red, and then he remembered that his problem was really difficult to change.
"Ahem."
Holding back his embarrassment, he continued, "Then I'll pay attention. ”
"We, old and young, have been together for decades. Look at the third generation is so old, I use a sentence of words, it is a great relief. To put it mildly, it is happy! ”
"Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the children are back. We old guys are also in good health, and next year's wish is that there is still next year! ”
"Good!"
"Uncle Han's level, it's high!"
Hu Dagui and Lu Changhua are all stinky feet.
Everyone spoke one by one.
Regardless of status, regardless of age, talk about New Year's resolutions.
Everyone said what they were focused on.
is like Lao Hutou, mainly to say that he hopes that Hu Le will study well and not be like his father.
The family is in good health.
Uncle Mediterranean, his wish is to hope that he will have no troubles and live happily for the rest of his life.
The old man Wang Dejiang, he has many wishes.
I hope that my daughter and son-in-law will be in harmony and the family will be reunited.
The children are progressing in their studies, and both families are healthy and happy.
The third uncle doesn't have many wishes, he just hopes that his daughter can be happy, and he doesn't ask for anything else.
You see, people who are still big officials are open-minded.
Lu Changzhong's wish is that his family is harmonious and happy, and his work is smooth.
In the past two days, he asked his third uncle a lot of lessons about how to be an official and how to engage in politics.
The third uncle, Wang Dehe, did not reserve it, and accepted everything that should be said and what should not be said one by one.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a sentence to look at the results for the officials, and to look at the results and the process for the good officials.
In a word, the Luchang Center suddenly lit up.
As for Lu Changhua, his wish is simple.
It's that everyone is healthy and happy.
As for the rest, he doesn't ask for it.
Hu Dagui's wishes are the most affordable.
He just wants to make money, buy a house in the capital, let his children go to a good school, and provide for his parents in old age.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone praised him, but he didn't see that this kid was still a dutiful son!
"Isn't that okay? I'm already a filial son! ”
Hu Dagui's neck was stalked, and he suffocated the wine in the cup.
The men are done, and the women are not weak.
"We also have a wish, starting with my mother."
Wang Yao, Wang Lu, Zhao Yan, Wu Yue, and Han Ying all began to agitate.
All the old ladies unanimously recommended Mother Lu to speak first.
The old lady brushed her black hair that Wang Yao dyed for her yesterday.
"What shall I say? I won't say. ”
"Mom, what you think in your heart, just say it."
Lu Changhua encouraged next door.
"Yes, Mom, don't worry."
Lu Changzhong also said.
"Well, I'll talk nonsense."
Lu's mother looked at the people in the room and said, "I just hope that everyone is well, the children are well, and there are no diseases or disasters, just do it." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yao hugged her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, don't worry, we're all fine." ”
"Hmm."
Mother Wang saw that her daughter and the old woman got along so well, and she was also relieved, and she kept looking at it with a smile.
"Mom, what about you? You've got to say a couple of words, too! ”
Wu Yue saw that Lu's mother said it very well, so she also asked her mother-in-law to talk about it.
Aunt Hu smiled and said, "As long as you are good with Dagui and the child, we don't have any wishes." I'm like a big sister. ”
Han Ying saw that the two families had said it, and also said to her mother: "Mom, you can also say a few words." ”
"What am I talking about? Let your dad say everything that needs to be said. ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter again.
"Mom, why don't you say a few words?"
Wang Yao looked at her mother-in-law and said.
"Hey, I just hope you're doing, that's it."
"What's the matter, what other wishes can we have when we are mothers? I hope my children are well. ”
The third aunt also followed to help.
"Auntie, why don't you say a few words?"
Wang Yao looked at Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian is not polite.
"I, I hope to be officially registered with Lao Wang next year, and I don't have any other ideas."
As soon as the old lady's voice fell, everyone looked at Uncle Mediterranean.
Wang Dehai didn't react.
