Chapter 1482 New Year’s Eve
Chu Heng’s side had just warmed up the wine, and the kitchen was also starting to bring out the dishes.
Delicious delicacies such as braised carp, braised sea cucumber with green onions, fried shrimps, braised pork elbows, yellow braised mutton, pot-wrapped pork, etc. were served one after another, gradually covering the huge tabletop.
Yang Guizhi, Ni Yinghong and other Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers. Every dish they cook is their best, and each one is delicious and delicious.
The greedy Chu Qi and several other children circled around the dining table, wanting to have a taste, but they did not dare to step forward randomly due to the rules.
In the end, the little Huniu was so excited that she ran to her little brother Chu Zhecheng, grabbed the sparrow several times, and exchanged it with Chu Heng for three pieces of meat, so that the brothers and sisters could satisfy their craving.
“Hey, this little girl will definitely not be a fuel-efficient lamp when she grows up!”
The second aunt who witnessed the whole process laughed so much that her stomach hurt, and she felt a little swollen when she stretched out her arms. He rubbed Huniu's head vigorously with his hand, showing that he really liked this ghost spirit.
Little Huniu raised her head and smiled sweetly at her. Her little face was as oily as a tabby cat, filled with the purest joy in the world.
"It's better to be smart, so as not to be deceived by stupid boys when you grow up." Chu Heng picked up his goddaughter lovingly, and did not dislike her dirty face, and gave her a big pout and kissed her.
"Giggle!"
The light stubble tickled Huniu's face, and she leaned her head back in his arms and smiled carefree.
Looking at the innocent look of this little guy, Chu Heng couldn't help but think of the daughter he had given birth to with Yu Haitang, and his mind couldn't help but drift away.
"The last dish, the shredded sweet potato is here for you."
At this moment, Ni Yinghong and the other girls, who had finally finished their work, came to the main room together, and Qin Jingru was holding a plate in her hand. Freshly shredded sweet potatoes.
Chu Heng came to his senses immediately, quickly put Huniu down on the ground, turned around and went to the chair beside him, picked up the firecrackers he had prepared and walked out with Erqi: "Pour the wine on, pour the wine on, I'll put it on After the firecrackers are over, let’s have a party!”
He quickly came to the patio, spread a bunch of firecrackers on the ground, then took out a cigarette and lit one, ready to start setting off the firecrackers.
When the two dogs saw this, they immediately ran away in a panic with their tails between their legs. Chu Qi was playing with two kickers in the yard before, and Xiao Hei ran over and took a bite. It still hurts.
"Crack!"
Firecrackers exploded at this time, bursts of white smoke rose in the courtyard, and the smell of sulfur filled the courtyard.
The flavor of the new year is instantly there.
The neighbors were either preparing or eating the New Year's Eve dinner. When they heard the noise, they immediately stopped and started talking with the people around them.
"Who is it? Who is setting off the cannon? Didn't you say that you are not allowed to fire it?"
"This is the fourth thing, you are so brave!"
"Who else could it be? It's the Chu family next door. I've seen all of Forty-Nine Cities and I think his family is the only one who dares to do this."
"Tsk, what do you think Chu Suo does? Why doesn't anyone dare to take care of it?"
"Why not? Didn't a few boys break down the door last month?"< br>
“It was smashed, but the person went there the day before, but the funeral took place the next day.”
“Real or fake?”
“I can lie You? ”
Amid the discussion, Chu Heng, after setting off the firecrackers, lit a few more kicks before leaving the remaining half of his cigarette and returning to the house.
At this time, the adults and children in the main room have already taken their seats, the wine has been poured, and the soda has been opened. He is just waiting for him.
"Come on, come on, sit here, madam."
Seeing him coming back, the deaf old lady quickly patted the empty seat next to her and said with a smile: "This is the New Year, we still have to set off cannons, it's festive. ! "Alas."
Chu Heng walked up quickly and sat down next to her. Just when he was about to suggest that the old lady should say a few words, the second uncle beside him rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "You kid, just play the zither. If you don’t let off the firecrackers, then why bother?”
“Can you please stop talking about it during the Chinese New Year?”
Chu Heng, however, didn't care much. He picked up the cup of warm rice wine in front of him with a smile and encouraged the deaf old lady: "Madam, you are the eldest in our family. You have to say a few words to celebrate the New Year."< br>
“Yes, yes, old lady, please say a few words.”
“Hengzi is right.”
Others followed suit.
The deaf old lady has seen big storms, so naturally she was not fazed by this small scene. She picked up a small wine cup and looked at the family in front of her who were not relatives, but were better than relatives. His face turned into a smile, and he said happily: "Okay, then I will say a few words. I wish everyone a bright future in the new year. Good luck, cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The guys stood up happily, some holding sodas, and some holding drinks. Some were holding red wine, some were holding rice wine, and they bumped together gently. Following the blessing of the old man Rui, they drank the drinks in their glasses happily.
Even the little Huniu joined in the fun with a glass of boiling water.
“Wow!”
On the Arhat bed next to it, Chu Zhecheng, who was lying on the crib, looked curiously at the noisy group, although he didn’t understand what they were doing. , but it looked very fun. I wanted to participate, but I couldn't escape the shackles of the swaddling clothes. In the end, I had to give up and quietly blow bubbles and play by myself.
Over the dining table, a large family was happily eating delicious food, chatting, and drinking wine. The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed. The small main room seemed to have become a small world isolated from the world. Isolate all the worries of the outside world.
In this way, the time soon reached around seven o'clock, and the women and children who had eaten and drank enough got off the table one after another. Only Chu Heng and Chu Jianshe's uncle and nephew were still pushing glasses on the table. Change the lamp.
In fact, Chu Heng didn't want to drink for a long time. He was still thinking about finishing his work quickly so that he could go to Guo Kai's house to play cards. But the second uncle didn't know what happened today. He was in a very high mood and pulled him to drink one cup after another. He could only endure it. Accompany me thoughtfully.
I don’t know if Chu Jianshe is greedy for this drink or if he is really happy.
After drinking like this for almost half an hour, the rice wine in Er Shu’s stomach finally got stronger. His head began to feel dizzy and his eyes began to wander. After two more glasses of wine, he fell head over heels. On the table.
“Boom!”
“Hey, second uncle, second uncle!”
Chu Heng hurriedly helped him up. After calling a few times and seeing that he couldn't wake him up, he could only helplessly move him to the Arhat's bed, cover him with a quilt, and let him slowly sober up.
Then he went to the deaf old lady's house, notified Qin Jingru and the others to clear the table, then hurriedly left the house and drove towards Guo Kai's house.
Sijiucheng was very lively at night in the 30s. Every household lit up lights. The whole city was brightly lit. The streets were full of naughty children running wildly. From time to time, they took pictures from their pockets. He took out a disassembled firecracker and threw it everywhere, making the city filled with smoke.
Chu Heng drove the car all the way and soon arrived at Tongzilou where Guo Kai’s family lived.
After parking the car downstairs, he rushed upstairs with a bag of fruit, and finally stopped outside Guo Kai's house and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
Soon Guo Kai came over to check on the door. When he saw him who was late, he said with a scolding that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes: "Why don't you know what happened so early in the morning?" Come? Do you know how long we have been waiting for you? ”
“ Don't I have to finish my meal?" Chu Heng threw a bag of fruits to him, stepped into the house, and after saying hello to Ge Erni, He Zishi and the others, he quickly set up the mahjong table and got ready. Prepare to win back the three dollars he lost to his second aunt and the old lady during the day here!
