The next morning, the bright sunlight shone in through the glass windows, illuminating the inside and outside of the study.

Liu Xinnian woke up in a daze, surprised to find that he woke up in a strange place, he couldn't care about the hangover and pain in his head, and after looking around, he realized that it was actually Gu Qi's study!

"Brother Liu, are you awake?" Gu Qi twisted a hot water bottle and came in, and held the enamel cup in the other hand: "Let's wash up first." ”

Liu Xinnian finally remembered to send Gu Qi back last night, and then ate hot pot and drank wine together, chatted and talked together—and then he couldn't remember anything.

Archie...... Am I drunk? ”

Gu Qi glanced at him and asked, "Otherwise?" There is your office and dormitory in the factory, just a few steps away, if you don't get drunk, why should you be wronged to sleep in my study? ”

"W-sorry!" Liu Xinnian whispered in embarrassment: "I don't usually drink much. It's all to blame...... It's all to blame for the wine sent by Lao Guo is too strong. You, remember to be careful when drinking in the future, at most a small glass, otherwise it will be easy to get drunk. ”

Gu Qiliang explained: "It's gone, it's all drunk by you." ”

Liu Xinnian: "......"

After brushing his teeth, washing his face and drinking water, Liu Xinnian's spirit was much better, and his head didn't hurt so much.

"Archie, I'll go back to the factory first. Today, I have to check the hygiene and fire safety of all departments to make sure that everything is correct before I can take a holiday. ”

"Wait!" Gu Qi grabbed him and said, "The cafeteria is not open, where are you going to find food early in the morning?" Xing'er has already boiled white porridge and steamed buns, let's eat them with us. ”

"Nope." Liu Xinnian whispered in embarrassment: "I don't know if I lost my temper last night...... I was so embarrassed to eat one meal after another. ”

Gu Qi shook his head: "You wait, I'll bring it to you." You have just sobered up, and eating some light porridge is good for your stomach. ”

Liu Xinnian's stomach was already hungry, thinking that the canteen in the factory was closed, and he didn't know what to do alone, so he didn't refuse again.

A moment later, Gu Qi came with a large bowl of white porridge and four steamed buns.

"Delicious!" Liu Xinnian drank a few mouthfuls of white porridge, and nibbled on the buns: "The barbecued pork buns made by my sister-in-law are so delicious!" Archie, why don't you eat it? ”

Gu Qi explained: "When my family comes, we will eat together." Today, my fourth wife and uncle got married, and we all have to go to Xing'er's mother's house to drink wedding wine. ”

"I see." Liu Xinnian gulped: "Hmm...... The buns made by my sister-in-law are delicious! You're a blessed boy! ”

Gu Qi smiled slightly: "Ma Li went to ask her address and sent her a telegram to get in touch." I hope to drink your wedding wine next year, so that you don't have to envy other people who have a hot kang head with a wife and son, and a hot bun to eat in the morning. ”

Liu Xinnian was stunned for a moment, frowned and hesitated, "I...... What did I tell you? Which one of her? Who? ”

"Liu Qing'er." Gu Qi replied lightly: "You said it all." ”

Liu Xinnian: "......"

He buried his head in embarrassment and muttered, "Then I-I'll ask when I'm done." For the New Year, maybe there is good news this time. ”

"Hmm." Gu Qi said: "I will accompany you to send telegrams abroad, as long as you have a specific address and name, it will not be difficult." ”

Liu Xinnian nodded: "...... Good. ”

After a pause, he rolled his eyes in embarrassment: "I didn't shout loudly when I was drunk, did I?" You and your sister-in-law know, right? No one else, right? ”

"Nope." Gu Qi replied.

Liu Xinnian breathed a big sigh of relief and whispered: "That's good...... That's good. ”

Gu Qi looked at him with a smile and said, "You didn't shout loudly, but you were very angry." Moreover, you also quarreled with my daughter-in-law. ”

Liu Xinnian: "......"

So, Liu Xinnian dropped a sentence: "Apologize to my sister-in-law for me!" I had to go beforehand! Then he picked up the bun and ran away.

Gu Qi watched the embarrassed back of his friend fleeing from the desert, and he was in a very happy mood.

I was about to close the door, but I heard a familiar footstep!

"Archie!" Ma Dali came, screwing things in his left and right hands, and rushed in in surprise: "You came back from a business trip?!" When did you get back? Why didn't you hear Ling Ling talk about it yesterday? ”

Gu Qi replied with a smile: "I arrived home at eight o'clock last night, and I specially rushed back to drink the wedding wine and celebrate the New Year." ”

"Great!" Ma Dali said: "Fortunately, I can catch up!" Come, hold, it's for you. In the basket was the one I sent to Ling Ling's fourth brother to get married. ”

Gu Qi twisted the heavy net pocket and said, "You are too polite." Ling Ling seems to have prepared a New Year's gift for you—"

"She gave it to me yesterday." Ma Dali interrupted him and smiled embarrassedly: "All the good things she gave me were bacon, apples, and two bags of tea." I-I don't have any money, it's all some vegetables and radishes grown in front of and behind the house, and crispy dumplings made by my sister. ”

Gu Qi smiled: "Things are light and affectionate. You're so heavy that I almost can't twist it. ”

Ma Dali laughed.

As soon as Chen Xingling heard that there were crispy dumplings, he was overjoyed!

"I like the dumplings the most, especially the ones with mung bean filling - my favorite!"

Ma Dali explained: "My sister and I tinkered with it for several hours yesterday afternoon, and last night it was fried and dried, so I quickly brought it in the morning while it was fresh." ”

"Yikes! Mung bean paste! Chen Xingling smiled excitedly: "It's delicious!" Crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside! ”

Then, she hurriedly took one and gave it to Gu Qi.

"Try it, this is a traditional snack on our side, and it is generally only difficult to do it during the New Year or big festivals, and it takes a lot of processes to make it!"

Gu Qi looked at the fried golden dumplings and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I can't imagine that the dumplings for the New Year here are ...... It was blown up. ”

Chen Xingling said: "One side of the water and soil to raise the other side of the people, the culture is different, and it is also reflected in the diet." Come on, give it a try. You are salty dumplings wrapped in meat, but we are crunchy sweet dumplings. ”

His beloved wife took it to his mouth in person, Gu Qi didn't dare not give face, so he took it and took a bite.

"Uh-huh~ delicious! The skin is crispy and fragrant, and the filling inside is slightly sweet - this one of mine is red bean paste. ”

Ma Dali saw that the couple liked it very much, and explained proudly: "Although March and Sifang are not very smart, they are very good at making traditional snacks on our side!" ”

Gu Qi couldn't help but say, "There are quite a lot of snacks here, and I've eaten many types." But this is the first time I've seen crispy dumplings like this. ”

Ma Dali explained: "It's not easy to make stuffing, and it's usually a big festival - the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year will wrap some to help the fun." ”

If it weren't for the family's economy suddenly rising to a big level this year, the family would have been happy enough to be able to buy a pound of pork belly during the Chinese New Year.

This year, he earned a lot and finally solved the problem of food and clothing at home.

The most difficult problem was solved, and the younger brother also returned to his hometown and returned to the city, half for the celebration, and half for the New Year, he bought several New Year's goods in one go, planning to have a happy New Year!

After a while, Gu Yi and his wife came.

However, everyone waited and waited, and until after ten o'clock, they still couldn't wait for Li Ying and Gu Xuan to arrive.

Gu Yihu asked, "Shouldn't you oversleep?" ”

Chen Xingling proposed: "Archie, you ride into the factory to have a look." Xiaoxing and I went to spoon the porridge and brought the side dishes out, you go and urge, the car will arrive at the door at about half past seven. ”

"Okay." Gu Qi hurriedly rode out.

After a while, he came with his old mother in tow.

Li Ying's face was a little bad, her hair was messy, and she walked in, yawning as she spoke.

"All here? It's so early! I...... I couldn't sleep last night and didn't sleep until dawn...... I almost couldn't get up. ”

Gu Yi couldn't help but ask, "What about Ah Xuan?" Won't she go? ”

Li Ying gestured to the back: "She walked slowly, Archie went back to pick her up." ”

Chen Xingling was slightly surprised-on such a lively occasion, Gu Xuan has always been very resistant, how could he agree to go to the wedding this time? It's weird!

After a while, Gu Qi carried Gu Xuan into the house.

Gu Xuan was wearing a brand-new cotton coat, his bangs were neatly combed, although he still didn't speak, he looked quite energetic.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around a table to eat porridge and steamed buns.

When he was full, Chen Xingling's rented car also arrived.

Everyone packed up their things and went into the kitchen, closed the doors and windows, screwed on the gifts and hurriedly set off.
