Chapter 333 332. New Year’s Eve Dinner
Du Chuan looked at the bustling home with a bigger smile on his face.
Actually, when it was just him and Jiu Qing at home, he really felt a little uncomfortable.
What Du Chuan has always liked is family fun, which has been his lifelong pursuit.
I originally thought that after his child was born, the family would slowly become lively.
But I didn’t expect that both Du’s father, Du’s mother, and Ji Xuetao would all think of this level.
On New Year’s Eve, I came to their house to celebrate the New Year.
It’s lively when there are many people, especially on this day.
It is even more so when there are children here, and there is an endless stream of firecrackers in the yard.
The third and fourth children are not short of money now. They each have an unknown amount of pocket money, and they hide it very tightly. Now it is basically impossible for Du Mu to collect their pocket money.
To buy these things, you don’t need to ask anyone for money at all.
The family is busy preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and everyone has a smile on their face.
It was busy until the evening, and a table of extremely sumptuous dishes was placed on the dining table one by one.
Fortunately, Du Chuan's home has a large dining table, otherwise it would not be able to seat so many people.
After everyone sat down, there was not much red tape. Father Du and Ji Xuetao each said some simple blessings and then started eating.
The heating in Du Chuan's house is naturally no problem at all, and the house can be said to be as warm as spring.
So just after eating a little food and drinking a little wine, everyone's faces were blushing.
Father Du and Ji Xuetao let go as a few glasses of wine went down their throats, chatting happily.
They hadn't met much before. Although they were in-laws, they really weren't particularly familiar with each other.
Except for the three children, everyone in the family drank. The woman drank only red wine.
"Azu, don't drink red wine. Today is the New Year, so drink white wine." Du Chuan said.
Memorial Zu had a grimace on his face and said tangledly: "But white wine really doesn't taste good."
He preferred red wine to white wine.
Not only do I feel that white wine is a bit too spicy, but more importantly, I feel that drinking red wine is tasteful.
In terms of petty bourgeoisie sentiment, I still like Memorial Zu very much.
Du Chuan didn't need to say anything, Zhu Hui said directly: "What kind of red wine should you drink? You are a man, so you should drink white wine."
As he said that, he poured it into his hand quietly. took the red wine glass.
To commemorate our ancestors, we can only pick up some liquor.
Originally, he was planning to drink a little bit. He really didn’t like liquor, but as he drank, he didn’t feel any better.
The main reason was that I was so dizzy that I couldn't think clearly. In the end, I even drank so much that I couldn't even detect the smell of alcohol.
It feels the same as drinking plain water.
Du Chuan looked at him with a smile, and then started clinking glasses with Du's father and Ji Xuetao.
This New Year's Eve dinner lasted until twelve o'clock. Of course, after that, everyone didn't drink much. They mainly waited for the time and stayed up late.
Just talking and talking all the time, all over the world.
This time also made the relationship between the two families closer, just like Zhu Hui and Du Mu.
You know, even if the two of them were together in the past, there was nothing they could say.
Basically, they are polite to each other and then end it.
But today, both Zhu Hui and Du Mu talked a lot.
As the bell rings, the new year has arrived.
Lao San, who was a little sleepy, suddenly stood up, pulled Tingting and plopped down, kneeling in front of Father Du.
"Dad, Happy New Year!" "Grandpa, Happy New Year!"
Only then did Du Chuan understand why they were all so sleepy. Everyone told them to go to bed first. No matter what, I don't want to.
It turned out to be waiting here.
Du's father had already prepared it. He took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to them.
The fourth child responded a little slowly, mainly because he was too sleepy.
Children of their age have a really hard time staying awake when they want to sleep.
That is, Lao San has been thinking about this matter.
The third child did not let others go. Ji Xuetao and Zhu Hui were all affected.
Even Jiu Miao didn't escape.
Fortunately, no one is short of money now, so they all gave it with a smile.
And in memory of Miao and memory of ancestors, Father Du and Mother Du each gave one hundred yuan in New Year's money.
After a lot of commotion, Du Chuan went to set off firecrackers to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
By the time I finished all this, more than half an hour had passed.
"Let's all go back to sleep. We have to go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning." Father Du said.
Du Chuan nodded. He was indeed sleepy at this time. After drinking so much wine, it was not easy to hold on until now.
In other words, there are enough rooms in Du Chuan's house, and they have been arranged during the day. Everyone went back to their own rooms to rest.
The next day, when Du Chuan was still sleeping, he was woken up by Mr. Memorial.
“Get up, dad said he is going to grandpa’s place to pay New Year’s greetings.” Memorial Qing said.
Du Chuan responded in a daze, but after walking out of the door, he was suddenly shaken by the cold wind and woke up instantly.
I washed my face and had something to eat.
“Where is my father-in-law?” Only then did Du Chuan realize that he did not see Ji Xuetao and the others.
"You think everyone is you, they got up early and went back." Mother Du said angrily.
Du Chuan is really the one who gets up the latest.
Ji Xuetao and the others also got up early to pay New Year greetings today, so they got up and left early.
After dinner, Du Chuan drove, taking Jiu Qing and Du's mother with him first, and his sister-in-law set off first.
This is the first year that I have passed away, so I need to go to my grandparents’ house to pay New Year greetings.
There is no need to go there until next year. Just like a sister-in-law, except for the first year when she goes there to pay New Year greetings, there is no need to go there any other time.
So Du Chuan needed to send his mother and the others back first. Originally, Du Chuan wanted to stay at his home during the Chinese New Year.
Who knows that my mother said that there can’t be no one in the old house forever, so she came back on the first day of the new year.
Although Du Chuan was a little disappointed, he didn't insist.
He was very satisfied to be able to celebrate New Year's Eve at his home and it was so lively.
When Du Chuan drove to his grandparents' side, Du's father and the others had just arrived.
Even though they are riding bicycles, their speed is not slow at all.
A bunch of gifts were unloaded from the car, and Du Chuan and the others walked into their grandparents' house.
My sister-in-law Du Yuehua and the others have already arrived. Anyway, since my sister-in-law got married, she has come here every year to pay New Year's greetings.
When the grandparents saw them coming over, the wrinkles on their faces seemed to be reduced a lot, and their faces were full of radiance.
For them, the Chinese New Year is their happiest time every year. The children come over and the house is lively.
It’s just a pity that the eldest son in the family has moved to another city, which is a bit far away, so he only comes here every few years.
