The reason why the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is called the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is that it is eaten at night.

Although everyone in the Cheng family arrived before noon, the noon meal was still simply sent away.

The kitchen has always been busy, and Cheng Guangnian specially invited two chefs to come to the house, and they were responsible for this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for family reunion.

I ate noodles at noon, and after the kitchen was ready, Ning Kezhu went to the backyard in person and called Cheng Qingshan, Cheng Yu and others back.

As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Qingshan kept twitching his nose, and the wrinkles on his face were even deeper because of the smile.

"Well, it's so fragrant, it's the taste of braised pork. Yu'er, I want to eat braised pork. ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Grandpa, you sit down first, and I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

Cheng Guangnian saw it in his eyes and said, "Eat noodles at noon, it's simpler, and the kitchen cooks all evening meals." ”

Cheng Yu didn't ignore it like he did just now, he stopped and said, "I'll go and see, if there are any ready-made things, get some for grandpa to eat." ”

"Your grandfather's body can't eat too greasy, and how much fat can you consume per day, that's all in a certain amount. You let him eat braised pork at noon, and he can't eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening?"

"What's wrong with you letting him eat more when he's old enough for the New Year? I can understand that you have to control all aspects when you're older, but you, who read from the book, can't wait to use scales and rulers to limit how much he can eat every day. What's the point of living like this, even if it's a long life?"

Cheng Guangnian's eyebrows twisted, and he was about to get angry, Cheng Jie hurriedly stood between the two and whispered, "Big brother, what Yu'er said is right, today is the New Year, you can let Dad be presumptuous." ”

After that, he said to Cheng Yu again, "You can just get him a little bit of two pieces to taste, don't make too much." ”

Cheng Yu nodded, Cheng Guangnian sighed, and whispered to Cheng Jie, "It's all you and your mother who are used to him like this, and there are no rules at all." ”

Cheng Jie didn't refute, she just smiled, she knew that Cheng Guangnian was just looking for a little bit of the dignity of being a father.

When I went to the kitchen, I saw that the braised pork was made of jar stewed meat, which was really not suitable for starting now.

Cheng Yu found some other dishes, put them in a small plate, and brought them out to Cheng Qingshan.

Cheng Qingshan got his noodle bowl and looked at the dishes Cheng Yu made for him, with a smile on his face.

"It's still my eldest grandson who treats me well. ”

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know that I am your eldest grandson now?" When you played chess with me just now, you don't know who shouted that you didn't know me, and said that you would never play chess with me again. ”

Cheng Qingshan grinned, ignored Cheng Yu, and reached out to pick up the plate.

Cheng Yu withdrew his hand, but Cheng Qingshan didn't get it, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Hurry up and give me that plate!"

"Your son said you can't eat more, I took it for myself. ”

"No, why can't I eat more? Give it to me! Otherwise...... Otherwise......" Cheng Qingshan's eyes rolled, but he couldn't think of anything to threaten Cheng Yu.

Ning Kezhu took the plate from Cheng Yu's hand, put it in front of Cheng Qingshan, and said, "Okay, Yu'er, don't tease your grandfather." ”

"The old man is very bad, some of them say that I am the best for him, and they say that they are good at playing chess, and they steal my son while I am not paying attention, and I was just about to get out of the car, but I found that the horse was gone. ”

Cheng Qingshan looked at the plate that Ning Kezhu gave him, and the chopsticks went directly to those dishes, how could he have time to argue with Cheng Yu?

Looking at Cheng Yu's angry appearance, and then looking at the old man's disrespectful mouth, Ning Kezhu also shook his head helplessly, and said, "As long as you and your grandfather get together, there will be no time when you don't quarrel." ”

This sentence seems to be complaining about Cheng Yu, but in fact, there is pride in and out of the words.

Cheng Yu quarreled with the old man, but everyone knew that it was not really noisy, just joking.

And what about the others? Regardless of whether it was Cheng Yi Cheng Fu, or Cheng Ran and Cheng Mo, Cheng Qingshan really couldn't remember who they were when he saw them.

Speaking of which, Cheng Yu left home at the age of thirteen and went to the United States, and only came back once a year, and in the last eight or nine years, Cheng Qingshan and a piece of Cheng Yu have not seen Cheng Yu for five months.

As for the rest of the family, except for Cheng Fu, who has studied in the UK in the past three years and has only come back once for the New Year, the others have stayed in China in recent years.

But they didn't spend much more time with Cheng Qingshan than Cheng Yu, and they didn't even have as much time as Cheng Yu came back to accompany Cheng Qingshan this year.

Don't talk about such a heavy topic as filial piety or unfilial piety, just to say that he is willing to spend time on the old man, the entire Cheng family, only Cheng Yu does the best, even if every time he sees Cheng Qingshan, he always quarrels with the old man.

At the beginning, Cheng Guangnian and Ning Kezhu were really worried, how old is the old man? Alzheimer's disease is good to say, what kind of high blood pressure and high blood lipids, and many other problems that will occur when they are older, Cheng Qingshan basically didn't run away.

Although it has not yet reached the point where treatment is urgently needed, it only needs to be controlled better in all aspects, which is not a big deal, but after all, it is a potential hidden danger.

Cheng Yu had trouble with the old man when he was fine, and Cheng Guangnian and Ning Kezhu were afraid that the old man would suddenly have some problems.

For this reason, Ning Kezhu also went to consult a doctor, but they all said that there was nothing wrong with Cheng Yu's approach, as long as he didn't really quarrel, but consciously had some quarrels with the old man and was playing with him, it would not only not affect the old man's health, but would be good for his body.

"Mr. Ning, what about the old man, when you get older, what you are most afraid of is that there is no activity. Like the old man of your family, you usually don't let him go out, which is easy to accumulate depression and illness in the long run. There is nothing wrong with your son's approach, which can keep the old man's brain cells in a more active state, although it will not help his Alzheimer's disease, but at least it can make his qi and blood active. ”

With the words of the two doctors, Cheng Guangnian and Ning Kezhu gradually put their minds at ease.

"Old man, you're too much, aren't you? I'm so easy to get such a dish, I'll go get some noodles, and you'll finish eating them all for me?" Cheng Yu returned to the table and saw that the plate in front of Cheng Qingshan was empty, and he was immediately anxious.

Cheng Qingshan smirked, the corners of his mouth were still dripping with oil, pointed to Cheng Yu's noodle bowl, and said, "The noodles are delicious, look, I left all the noodles for you!"

"Hey, you bad old man, don't you want to be embarrassed? You want to say that the noodles are delicious, and let you eat them alone at night. ”

When Cheng Qingshan heard this, his face suddenly collapsed, and he said with a pout, "My eldest grandson bullied me." ”

Cheng Jie laughed and said, "You deserve it!"

"My daughter bullied me too!" Cheng Qingshan lowered his head depressedly.

Cheng Yu sat next to Cheng Qingshan, tugging at his bowl of noodles, and said, "Old man, you don't have to pretend with me here, hurry up, that bowl of noodles, you have to eat it!"

"Then how can I still eat?" Cheng Qingshan was anxious.

"Don't come with me to this set, I filled the noodles, I filled half a bowl, and I also got those dishes just now, I don't know how many portions? No nonsense, hurry, hurry up and eat all this bowl of noodles, and then go to take a nap." Wake up, I'll take you out to play ......"

As soon as he heard this, Cheng Qingshan was immediately happy, "Can you fire a cannon?"

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Yes!"

Cheng Qingshan didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat noodles, but the result was that the soup and water were all on the placket, and Cheng Jie had to help him wipe it for a long time.

Coaxed the old man to take a nap, Du Xiaoyu stood beside Cheng Yu, gently pushed him with his arm, and whispered, "You have a good relationship with your grandfather?"

"Nonsense, that's my own grandfather. ”

"Aren't those grandchildren also his own grandchildren?" Du Xiaoyu pursed his lips and whispered.

Cheng Yu shook his head, meaning not to talk about this topic, but just looked at those people gathered around Cheng Guangnian.

At Cheng Guangnian's suggestion, most of them went to the study, and only a few women stayed in the hall.

"Yu'er, why don't you go to the study to chat with your father and your uncle?" Ning Kezhu asked when he saw that Cheng Yu was not moving.

Cheng Yu said, "They must be talking about something related to the Cheng Group, I'm too lazy to mix, and when grandpa wakes up in a while, I have to take grandpa out to play." If you go in and have a drink, you won't be able to drive for a while?"

"Are you really going to take your grandfather out?" Ning Kezhu said.

Cheng Guangle's wife Feng Qin also hurriedly said, "Yes, your grandfather is old and in poor health, so don't take him out." ”

Cheng Yu ignored it, Fang Mengdi said slowly, "I really don't want to stay in the house, just walk around the yard, there is such a big lake in the backyard, why is it not enough for the old man to take a walk?"

Cheng Yu didn't like to hear this, he said, "It's because grandpa is old and in poor health that he can't go out a few times a year." At his age, it's not appropriate to be an otaku, right? I just hope that when the two aunts get older, your children won't lock you up at home because you're not in good health. With that, he took Du Xiaoyu's hand and left the living room directly.

Du Xiaoyu followed Cheng Yu out of the back door, listening to Ning Kezhu in the room explaining to Feng Qin and Fang Mengdi very embarrassedly, and couldn't help but say, "Why do you say this, what can't you say well? I know you're right, but there's no need to be unhappy with them during the Chinese New Year, is there?"

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "It's weird, I don't know why I'm so angry today." ”

"Does it have something to do with what my dad told you last night?"

Cheng Yu thought about it again and said, "It shouldn't be, and I don't think Cheng Fu can threaten me anything." ”

Du Xiaoyu said, "The heart of defense is indispensable, after all, it involves such a huge family property, your second uncle and third uncle, it is impossible to say that it is not hot." In big families, there will always be these and such things. Even if you think you can not rely on your father, you will not be so generous to give away the Cheng Group, right?"

Cheng Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "First of all, Cheng's Group is Lao Cheng's, who he is willing to give to, I really can't interfere, and I don't bother to interfere."

He wants to give it to me, and my best possibility is to divide it up and sell it gradually, I don't have as much ambition as him.

Even if I want to build a business empire one day, it is by no means in the state of Cheng's Group.

Secondly, I know too well who Lao Cheng is.

Not to mention the two and a half buckets of water from my second uncle and third uncle, even if the two families are all tied together, they are not Lao Cheng's opponents with one hand.

Since I don't care, and Lao Cheng is absolutely impossible to suffer any losses because of this, that's what it can't be prevented from. ”

Du Xiaoyu smiled lightly and said, "But you're still upset about this!"

Cheng Yu pondered for a while, and found that he didn't understand, so he simply gave up.

"Forget it, don't think about it. I'm feeling a little wrong right now, and I'll pay attention to it in a moment. Cheng Yu patted the back of Du Xiaoyu's hand, walked to the lake, and didn't know where to find a fishing rod, sat down and caught a fish.

Du Xiaoyu stood behind him, looking at him not far away, thinking to himself, there is an empty fishing rod, not even a bait, what kind of fish are you catching with an empty hook?

However, she knew that Cheng Yu must have something in his heart, so she didn't bother him, just looked at his back like this.

The mobile phone rang twice, and Du Xiaoyu looked down to see that it was WeChat sent by Qin Manyuan.

"Happy New Year. "Behind is a little man setting off firecrackers.

Du Xiaoyu smiled slightly, turned down the volume of the phone, and replied, "Happy New Year." ”

"What about celebrating the New Year at Master Cheng's house?"

"Well, it's such a big family, and I'm really not used to it. It's hard for my parents, there were originally fewer people in the family for the New Year, but this year is better, only the two of them. ”

"There's always going to be a process. ”

"Well, you'll have to have that day sooner or later. ”

"That's not good. Xu Wanting is also talking to me, why don't I pull a group. ”

"Okay. ”

Qin Manyuan quickly pulled Xu Wanting in, and the three women naturally exchanged pleasantries.

Subsequently, Xu Wanting said, "Xiaoyu, are you with Cheng Dashao?"

"Well, he's fishing. ”

"Hey, at his age, he has such a hobby? It's similar to my dad. ”

"You want to talk to him about the show, right?"

"Actually, it's not a chat, I just want you to help me convey it, we discussed it with Xiao Zhang, Mr. Dai Salt and Mr. Carpenter. They happen to be free on the third and fourth days of junior high school, so we will have a group, and we will go to the imperial capital on the third day of junior high school to start filming. ”

"You don't have to tell him this, you just have to do it. Do you want to make an appointment with him?"

"Yes, because only Xiao Zhang is free in the third year of junior high school, and Mr. Belt Salt and Mr. Carpenter are both free in the fourth year of junior high school. So, I want to ask him, in the third year of junior high school, we went to a group to shoot his part in Wu Dong, okay. ”

"Okay, I'll ask for you. ”

Du Xiaoyu put down his mobile phone, looked at Cheng Yu, and shouted, "Cheng Yu, Xu Wanting asked me to ask you, can you come to Wu Dong in the third year of junior high school to shoot part of your show." ”

Cheng Yu didn't seem to hear it, and kept looking down at the fishing rod in his hand.

Du Xiaoyu hesitated, but still walked over and squatted down beside him.

Gently touched Cheng Yu with his elbow, and Cheng Yu came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?"

"Xu Wanting asked me to ask you, come to Wu Dong to shoot a show for you in the third year of junior high school, okay?"

"Going back to your house in the second year of junior high school, right? Cheng Yu replied casually, "Why didn't she ask me directly?"

"Maybe I sent you a message, but you didn't hear it just now. I called you and you didn't hear me. ”

Cheng Yu sighed, hurriedly took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and sure enough, Xu Wanting sent him a New Year's blessing WeChat.

He hurriedly operated his mobile phone and replied, "Xiaoyu told me, I'm fine in my third year of junior high school." What about the others? How is the time set?"

Soon, Xu Wanting replied to the message, "Xiaozhang has time in the third year of junior high school, and Mr. Salt Body and Mr. Carpenter are both free in the fourth year of junior high school." Cheng Shao, you really give me a problem, it's easy for me to go back to my hometown for the New Year, but I have to leave on the third day of junior high school. The three people in the imperial capital have also been complaining about me, saying why are we in such a hurry. ”

"Isn't this the Lantern Festival given by Jiangdong Satellite TV's schedule, I know that the Spring Festival holiday makes you work overtime very hard, and it's also very inhumane, but we have to do the post-production in the future, and at least shoot two episodes of the show first. Great work. ”

"Okay, don't say these words, for the New Year, hurry up and send red envelopes!"

Cheng Yu smiled, directly sent a full amount of red envelopes, and said, "When you go to Wudong in the third year of junior high school, I will prepare a big red envelope for each person." ”

"Thank you boss. ”

Look at the time, it's past two o'clock.

Cheng Yu knew that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was said to be evening, but it was actually around four o'clock.

It is estimated that Cheng Qingshan should also wake up at this time, Cheng Yu stood up.

"I'll take grandpa out for a while, will you come with us?"

Du Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'm not going, my grandfather basically doesn't know me, and I can't interject." I'm going to talk to my mom for a while, I guess she probably doesn't like to talk to your two aunts either. ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "There is labor." ”

"Although our relationship between husband and wife is for a reason, at least we are very good friends, right? I will talk with your mother for a while, so you don't need to be so polite to me. ”

Cheng Yu nodded, and walked directly from the backyard to Cheng Qingshan's building.

As soon as he entered through the back door, Cheng Yu heard Cheng Qingshan's voice, which seemed to be arguing with the nurse.

Cheng Yu hurriedly went upstairs, and shouted as he walked, "Old man, don't make noise, I'll take you out to play!"

Cheng Qingshan was happy when he heard it, and said to his nursing care confidently, "Look, I'll just say that my eldest grandson told me that he wanted to take me out to play, let you call him, you still don't believe it!"

Cheng Yu pushed the door in, and saw the nurse standing in front of Cheng Qingshan, Cheng Yu said, "It's hard for the New Year." ”

The nurse turned around and smiled, and said, "Cheng Shao, it's okay, isn't this also earning overtime pay?"

Cheng Yu took out a red envelope given to him by his family before, and regardless of how much money was in it, he handed it directly to the nurse, "Happy New Year, take a red envelope." ”

"This can't be done, Cheng Shao. ”

"If you want to take it, you can take it, this old man in my family has a very bad temper, and he usually makes you feel wronged. ”

The nurse didn't dare to take it, and said in a whisper, "Actually, grandpa is very good, and I don't have any grievances." ”

Cheng Yu forced it into her hand, hooked his fingers at Cheng Qingshan, and said, "Old man, what are you waiting for?

"Yes, yes, my eldest grandson has done the best to me!"

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and took Cheng Qingshan downstairs.

As soon as the car was started, Wang Shuran rushed out of the door again.

"Wait for me, Brother Yu, wait for me!" Wang Shuran waved her hands vigorously, for fear that Cheng Yu would leave her behind.

Cheng Yu waited with a smile, but Cheng Qingshan was impatient and instructed Cheng Yu to let him drive quickly.

"Don't worry, didn't you see Xiao Mao when she came out? ”

Cheng Qingshan's face was dazed: "Who is Xiao Mao?"

"Your granddaughter!"

"Huh, when did Xiaojie get married?"

Wang Shuran opened the car door and came in, "Grandpa, I'll also go out with you!"

"I don't know you, you get off!"

"Hey, old man, do you want to set off the fireworks? I can tell you, I brought fireworks. ”

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

"Do you still recognize me?"

"Know, know, know. Cheng Qingshan's face was full of licking dogs.

Wang Shuran handed the old man two fireworks in his hand, but there was no fire anyway, so he was not afraid that he would have problems playing.

Cheng Yu stepped on the accelerator and the car slowly drove away.

"Give me a fire, you don't even have a cigarette lighter on your broken car, it's really backward!" Cheng Qingshan rummaged in the car for a long time, but didn't find a cigarette lighter, and stretched out his hand to find Cheng Yu to ask for fire.

"Do you want to order my car? What's the hurry, I'll take you to Baijia Lake later."

Cheng Qingshan slapped the seat of the car and kept shouting, "Hurry up, drive quickly!"

Not long after, the car stopped in a lakeside square, Cheng Qingshan got out of the car in a hurry, and set off fireworks under the supervision of Cheng Yu and Wang Shuran.

When the old man was crazy enough, Cheng Yu walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, ask you something, our family used to have an old house, do you remember?"

"I remember the old house, it was on the Diaoyutai side, and I sold it later. ”

"Who did you sell to, and why did you sell your old house back then?"

"Lack of money. Let me tell you......" Cheng Qingshan was sneaky, looked at Wang Shuran who was still setting off fireworks a few meters away, and said in a mysterious voice, "I haven't told anyone about this, I owe a lot of money to others at that time, your father, and your second and third uncles have no money to help me pay off my debts, so I have no choice but to sell the old house." I didn't tell them, hehe, they still don't know. ”

Cheng Yu listened, uh......
