Chapter 79: Chinese New Year's Eve
It was still early, but the sound of firecrackers was already roaring all over the world.
There is a custom in Wang Chong's hometown that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is earlier than the breakfast on the first day of the new year, and the earlier the family, the smoother the next year.
Let's not talk about the effect, but this custom has been passed down for thousands of years.
"Quick, move the thunderbolt out, don't forget the firecrackers!" The uncle stood in the hall, and Wang Chong naturally became the one who was commanded.
Uncle has no sons, only two daughters, one is married to Hangcheng, and he comes back once a year, and he can come back to live for more than half a month every year for the first two years, but now he has a second child, and he has two children alone, so how to come back has become a big problem.
The second son-in-law is also from a rural area, the family conditions are average, the second daughter is now taking care of the children, there is no way to find a job, the family of four eats and drinks Lazar all depends on the second son-in-law, and there is no idle time all year round.
The eldest daughter has been married for two years and has raised a daughter, so naturally it is not easy to run home, so as not to have any opinions from her in-laws.
The only people that the uncle can call are Wang Zhong and his uncle's cousin.
"Xiaoyu, you go to the thunder, remember to sort out the leads." Wang Chong ordered his cousin to come.
The two brothers carried several plates of firecrackers with 5,000 sounds, and the other held two boxes of thunder, and when they left the hall, they ran to the left and the right.
Cousin Wang Ning stood by the door, her face was full of eagerness, if she hadn't been held by her aunt, she would have rushed up to help her brothers.
After a while, the two of them lit the fuse at the same time, the sound of firecrackers crackled like a storm, the sound was deafening, and Wang Ning's child, who was eager to try just now, had shrunk this time, raised his little hand to block his ears, and frowned, obviously the sound of firecrackers at such a close distance brought her far more fright than surprise.
"It's time to eat!" The uncle gave the order, and everyone hurried into the house and gathered around the dining table.
As soon as the uncle moved the chopsticks, the uncle and grandmother couldn't wait to put a chicken leg in the bowl of Xiao Wang Ning and his cousin, in Wang Chong's memory, his uncle and grandmother had never eaten chicken legs, he was himself when he was a child, then his cousin, and now he is his cousin Wang Ning.
Although he now has a golden finger that can travel through the heavens and all worlds, and is fortunate to see countless excellent people and wonderful things, Wang Chong cherishes the time with his family even more.
Uncle and grandmother are usually used to eating Wang Chong's meals at home, but the uncle's family doesn't have this blessing.
Uncle and grandmother's own chicken and mushrooms stewed, the soup is rich, the aroma is tangy, the fat but not greasy plum cabbage button meat, green onion fried mutton, braised fish, and a radish stew, there is also a bowl of Wang Chong's special dipping sauce next to it, the radish full of broth tastes better than meat, and it is also my uncle's favorite.
There is also a plate of dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions, a plate of fried peanuts, and a bowl of fried wild bees with chili peppers, which are the standard for wine and the uncle's favorite.
"Come on! Let's have a drink! The uncle raised his glass and signaled to Wang Chong, naturally there are not so many rules for drinking with outsiders at his own dinner table, and there is no need to lower the glass than anyone, and who can speak.
"Drink slowly!" Seeing this, the uncle and grandmother who were sitting on the main seat hurriedly reminded that Wang Chong was too anxious to drink.
The uncle smiled and said, "It's okay to drink too much for the New Year, let them go." ”
My uncle used to be arrogant at the wine table, but when he got older, his internal organs were degraded, and he was supervised by his children and grandchildren to quit drinking a few years ago.
"Uncle and grandma, don't worry, I'm drinking well!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
The uncle and grandmother saw that Wang Chong's expression was as usual, and there was no change in the slightest, so they were relieved.
The uncle next to him didn't drink, took a sip of a drink, and asked Wang Chongdao: "Your farmhouse is about to open?" ”
Wang Chongdao: "The preparations are almost complete, and the third day of the new year will be officially opened." ”
"Everyone's been found?" Uncle asked.
Wang Chongdao: "I'm almost there." ”
The eldest aunt said: "When the time comes, your sister will also come, call her to come over and help you!" ”
"I've just opened here, and I don't think I have much business." Wang Zhong said with a smile.
The eldest aunt said: "With your craft, you will definitely not worry about business at that time." ”
"That's right!" The little aunt also nodded approvingly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, has Xiaozhong made a special trip to learn art outside?" ”
I don't blame the aunt for saying this, although Wang Chong used to cook, but the craftsmanship is not so good, just these dishes on the table, although they are all home-cooked dishes, not complicated, but the taste is better than the most expensive and best restaurant in the county, the third aunt who pays great attention to her figure on weekdays and controls her appetite can't help but eat a lot.
"That's not true, haven't you been out alone all these years, and I don't have any other hobbies, so I usually study a lot, read a lot of recipes, and find a lot of videos on the Internet to learn."
"Xiaozhong, this is called talent!" The eldest aunt said.
The family finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with a smile, and the uncle and grandmother gathered in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and when it was about half past seven in the evening, several cousins who had not come out of five clothes carried things to visit their uncle and uncle, all of whom had just returned from other places a year ago, and a large family gathered around the fire to chat.
A few cousins came over, and the smiles on the faces of the uncle and grandmother were noticeably more.
After chatting for almost an hour, several cousins invited Wang Chong to go out for a walk together, but Wang Chong did not refuse, and followed a few people out of his uncle's house.
"Where are we going?" Wang Zhong asked.
"Why don't you go to Shuping's house to have a look?" Wang Ming, the elder brother of the lobby, suggested.
"Okay!" Second brother Wang Shuo said: "Let's discuss why we go later!" ”
The rest of the people agreed, and Wang Chong naturally had no opinion.
followed a few people to Wang Shuping's house, a group of young people are playing cards around the table, there is no entertainment in the countryside, and now everyone has quit the Spring Festival Gala, and playing cards has naturally become the most common way to pass the time.
Wang Zhong has little interest in playing cards, mainly for the current Wang Chong is really not difficult, Wang Zhong is thinking, not to mention a deck of cards, is three or four pairs piled together, Wang Chong can also remember the position of most of the cards.
Although Wang Chong has not specifically contacted gambling, but practicing martial arts eyesight is also a must-practice item, as far as Wang Chong's perverted body, even if he does not use his true qi, he can remember the cards.
Everyone doesn't play much, about five or ten yuan, the main thing is that there are many people gathered together to make a scene, but the shouting is quite loud, and the bureau of hundreds of dollars has been completed with the momentum of tens of millions.
Wang Chong around the table also knows each other, the age is between Wang Chong's young and ten years old, the older ones are in their thirties and have already run to four, and the youngest is still in college, but there are many people.
It's quite interesting to listen to the people playing cards noisily, and to watch the people next to them cheer more excitedly than the ones who played.
The game only lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, there was a young man in his early twenties, who looked good, said that there was a girl who made an appointment to sing in the city, and everyone immediately gave the cards in their hands to people, noisy and coaxing, and the opinions were surprisingly unanimous, all of them were going to sing with the girl and eat supper.
As soon as he talked about singing and eating supper, the eyes of Wang Chong's cousins lit up instantly, just like a cat that smelled a fishy smell and a hungry wolf who saw its prey.
Wang Chong didn't feel out of place with them, but he enjoyed it a lot, and took the initiative to say that he wanted to drive.
Nowadays, the car is not a rare object, the family conditions are slightly passable, as long as there is a person who can drive, basically there will be one, and it is convenient to enter the city at ordinary times, but after all, it is a rural area, and Wang Chong's hometown is not a developed area, and not every household has it.
Like Wang Chong's cousins, there is only one second cousin who has a car, the lobby brother is in poor family conditions, and he can't drive it, so he hasn't bought it, and the third brother has just gotten married, and he still has a mortgage and a lot of debts, and he can't afford to buy or raise a car.
"You can be a little heavy, I haven't seen you for a long time, Hongqi H9 has been arranged!" The second cousin is not proficient in cars, but he also knows some, and when he saw Wang Chong's h9, his eyes instantly lit up.
"But I've heard that there are a lot of problems with this car! How do you feel about driving? The second brother grabbed the co-pilot and asked impatiently.
Wang Zhong drove slowly onto the road and joined the convoy waiting at the entrance of the village.
"It's good to drive, I don't think there's anything wrong." Wang Chongdao: "Besides, I simply support and support our country's automobile companies. ”
"Yo!" There was a car parked on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, and the girls who knew a lot were busy with prestige phone contacts, and the other three people were in a circle around the car, holding cigarettes in their hands, spitting clouds and fog, and bragging and farting.
"What about them?" Brother Lobby hurriedly got out of the car and asked.
"They picked up the girl, let's go straight to the city! I decided on the box first. Uncle Wang said.
"Then let's go, what are you delaying?"
"Let's go!"
"Xiaozhong, give the second brother a hand!" The second cousin rubbed his hands and said expectantly.
Wang Zhong handed the car key to his second cousin, and took the initiative to open the passenger driver's door and sit down.
There are many cars in Chinese New Year's Eve, the drivers have not drunk, the speed is not fast or slow, it took half an hour to drive to the city, the second cousin's car skills are good, driving steadily, there is no problem.
Everyone arrived at a newly opened KTV, ordered a luxury bag, and shouted a lot of drinks, and without waiting for the girls to come, they grabbed the microphone, and one by one they raised their throats and cried wolf.
Wang Chong also sang two songs along.
More than 20 minutes later, the door of the box was pushed open, and Wang Yan took the lead in walking in, followed by four young and beautiful girls holding hands and entering the box.
The first two makeup paintings are very thick, I don't know how much foundation is covered on the face alone, the back two are slightly better, the first two look exquisite, but they are all blessed with makeup, if you really want to remove the makeup, then it is difficult to say, Wang Chongke does not have the fiery eyes of Sun Monkey, and he can't see the true face of these girls in Lushan.
As soon as the girls came, the atmosphere in the box immediately changed, and the men immediately moved out of the middle of the sofa, and those who took the wine took the wine, and those who took the cups took the glasses.
After a glass of beer, the two girls ran to order songs, and the two sat on the sofa with their legs arm-in-arm and chatted, but their eyes were still scanning the people in the box.
Men are picking women, and women are naturally picking men.
Wang Chong's appearance is good, but it is not the kind of delicate appearance that girls like now, but thick eyebrows and big eyes, revealing a bit of ruggedness and heroism.
And Wang Yan, who knows a few girls, is the most handsome one among the crowd, and he usually dresses up quite exquisitely, and he is young.
As soon as the girls came, the atmosphere in the box immediately changed, and a few people immediately surrounded them and played games with the girls.
The two girls who ordered the song finished the song and played with it, Wang Chong didn't get up, walked to the side and ordered his brother's "The Wind Continues to Blow", "Silence is Golden", asked for the microphone, sat on the swivel chair and listened to the prelude, waiting for the song to start.
As soon as the two songs were sung, the phone in his pocket rang, and when he saw that it was his old classmate Yuan Xiao calling, Wang hurriedly walked out of the box and picked it up.
"What's wrong with Old Yuan?"
"Didn't you go singing?"
"How do you know?"
"I said how do you look so much like you! We're singing too, why don't you come over for a drink? Yuan Xiao's warm invitation came from the phone.
"Which box are you in?"
“A108!”
"Here we go!"
The box was not far from Wang Chong's room, and just around the corner, Wang Chong saw Yuan Xiao standing at the door of the box waving to him.
"I said it looks like you! Really. Yuan Xiao greeted him with a smile and patted Wang Chong's shoulder and said.
"Who are they!" Wang Zhong asked as he looked in the direction of the box.
Yuan Xiaodao: "A few colleagues, and a few friends they brought!" As he spoke, Yuan Xiao's expression suddenly changed, the corners of his mouth raised, hooked Wang Chong's shoulder, and said with a mysterious smile: "There is a girl!" ”
"And it's a big beauty!"
"Big beauty?" Wang Zhong looked at Yuan Xiao and asked, "How beautiful?" ”
"Before us, why was it a class flower!"
"Then I'll have to know."
"Let's go, buddy will introduce you!"
Saying that, Yuan Xiao led Wang Zhong into the box.
"Introduction! My best friend from high school, Wang Chong! ”
"You've seen these last time, so I won't introduce you, you have to get to know this beauty!" Yuan Xiao pulled Wang Zhong to a beautiful girl with a ponytail, only a little powder on her face, only twenty-three or four, and she still looked a little young.
"Li Wanruo, Li Qun's cousin, just graduated from college, is a top student like you, and now works as a teacher at our alma mater."
Li Wanruo was wearing a red turtleneck, which set off the already slender swan neck to the fullest, and when she heard this, she smiled sweetly at Wang Chong, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand and said, "Hello, I am Li Wanruo, a history teacher." ”
Wang Chong smiled slightly, and also stretched out his hand, and shook it with the plow: "Wang Chong, you are still starting a business!" ”
"Entrepreneurship?" Li Wanruo met Wang Chong's gaze, but she didn't feel the slightest discomfort, because the eyes were clear and clean, without any distractions, and even the smile on her face was a little sincere, and nodded, Li Wanruo did not continue to ask.
Yuan Xiao's division in their box is much better than the ghost crying wolf over there, although they are also singing, playing games and drinking, but the atmosphere is not so noisy.
Wang Zhong drank a glass of wine with everyone and said goodbye.
