Chapter 129: Thousands of Lights
Faced with the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, Aunt Bian’s most emotional feeling was that liquefied petroleum gas was so easy to use.
Although I am embarrassed to say it.
I really feel that if it weren’t for this stove with sufficient firepower, this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner would never have been so early and so neatly prepared.
Thanks to Ning Weimin’s encouragement, otherwise I would have been tired for at least an extra hour.
What Uncle Bian is most satisfied with this year is that his second son has also become successful.
Like the soda, quinces, pickles, quail eggs, and soy sauce beef on the table.
They are all good things that others cannot see.
Didn’t Bian Jiangong get that back?
But because of this, he also had to think of Ning Weimin’s benefits.
Because if people hadn’t taken the initiative to give up their jobs, how could we have such a good life today?
I am afraid that the only thing he has to worry about at home is worry.
Not to mention that Bian Jiangong might still be worried about not having a job. Even the marriage of his eldest son, Bian Jianjun, would have to be delayed.
So Uncle Bian looked at the family sitting around him.
I smiled so hard that I couldn’t bear to separate my eyebrows.
Even after receiving the filled glass of wine from his eldest son, the first thing the old man said when he picked up the glass was.
“Well, this year’s Chinese New Year is extraordinary. Not only does our family have an extra member of the family, but Jiangong finally has a good job. It’s really a double happiness for our family!”
“But borrow it. Taking this opportunity, I also have to tell you two. After dinner, you all go to the room next door to see Lao Kang and Wei Min. There are two people there, Wei Min. I still have to go to work, I’m afraid it’s a bit too deserted.”
“We must not forget the benefits of others. We must know where vinegar is sour and salt is salty. The most important thing in life is to drink water and remember its source. If it hadn’t been for him, we wouldn’t have had this happy reunion dinner this year, you know?”
The whole family was stunned by the turn of events in Uncle Bian’s words.
But soon, Aunt Bian kept saying yes.
The brothers also woke up and nodded along.
Both of them raised their glasses and leaned forward one after another.
"Dad, we understand..."
"Dad, we listen to you..."
There is no need to say anything more. The deep family affection and the fundamentals of being a human being were all drank up by the father and son...
If you continue reading, it will be the turn of Master Luo and his family.
This family’s Chinese New Year is even more lively this year, because with the addition of a precious grandson, there are countless more things to do.
Robin is also their Pan'er. This is God's gift to the Luo family.
Even though it has been four months since this little person came into this world, the adults of the Luo family still find this child as big as a rag doll extremely novel and never tire of it.
During the meal, the little man happened to wake up and immediately became the center of attention at the table.
First, Miao Yujuan brought the meson into the house to change the urine and feed the child.
Then there were hugs from dad, teasing from grandpa, and neither Master Luo nor Luo Guangsheng could care about drinking and eating.
Until Master Luo dipped his chopsticks into a drop of white wine and made the child cry, Aunt Luo was completely overturned.
The old lady slapped the table and scolded the two men at home.
"Bah! Do we have to raise an alcoholic like you? Go and get out of here. Watch out for your stench that infects my eldest grandson!"
But even though Master Luo was smiling, But it doesn't spread out.
He was still holding the wine glass, looking at the little man in Aunt Luo's arms without moving his eyes.
Look, the child’s little nose and eyes have changed, becoming stretched and graceful.
My eyes gradually became brighter, and my arms and legs began to become rounder.
With such a neat appearance, he will definitely be a big shot when he grows up...
But at this moment, the big shot cried "Wow", and there was a red streak of blood on his face.
It turned out that the child's own nails scratched his face.
This is a big deal!
This child has never been so seriously injured since he was born. He almost choked from crying and his face was livid from holding back.
Aunt Luo was immediately at a loss. She kept shouting "darling" and "darling" and coaxing her with shaking and shaking.
Master Luo laughed loudly, "Boy, what are you afraid of getting hurt? Look at how nervous you are. Your own son has never done anything but sewed two cloth covers for his little hands. ."
Aunt Luo was not happy, "It's easy to say, you are just a single person now, why don't you be more careful? This is not like back then, when you were busy working in the factory every day, and I had to work alone. We have to rely on our eldest daughter to take care of everything in the family. Now that our parents and grandparents are here, what's the point of having a child go wrong? !”
Master Luo laughed even more after hearing this, but his smile gradually faded.
Suddenly turned around and gave instructions to his son.
"Guang Sheng, after the reunion dinner is over, take half of the water chestnuts your father-in-law gave you today and give them to Uncle Kang and Wei Min. Let them have a taste of it too."
" Not to mention that our milk powder depends on the help of Wei Min, and we have to thank them forever. Since the old and young have no relatives, we can't just sit at home and ignore them. "
“The Chinese New Year is no different than usual, so it’s hard to invite people to our home. On behalf of our whole family, you go over and take care of us. Even if you add some popularity to their house, it’s good...”
< br>So, Luo Guangsheng agreed repeatedly.
On the other side, Aunt Luo was also aroused and couldn't help but sigh.
"You're right, Wei Min's mother, it's been four or five years since you left? Not only is Wei Min's kid back, but he's also so promising now. If this old sister of mine is still alive, it would be great to see it with my own eyes. Ah?”
“There was also Mrs. Kang who helped us a lot back then. She was also a very nice and kind-hearted person. In the 1960s, because our family was in trouble and had a lot of talk, The food stamps she always gave us were at least ten kilograms."
"When I had liver disease, she also gave me a kilogram of Iraqi candied dates and two taels of brown sugar. Really, how can such a good person... Hey! ”
There is no doubt that it is completely different from the previous New Year’s Eve.
Last year, when Kang Shude and Ning Weimin were still enemies. Even though the neighbors wanted to visit, they were worried about being involved in the two's awkward real estate dispute.
But this year is different. In the entire No. 2 Courtyard of Shan'er Hutong, these neighbors who have benefited from them must regard the old and the young as the key objects of concern.
But this is still not everyone who cares about them, because there are still people who are thinking about them further away.
This year, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Shihui's image in Liu Weijing's family is indeed a bit close to a golden turtle son-in-law.
He came to Liu's house for New Year's Eve dinner wearing decent clothes, and also brought two bottles of tiger bone wine and a lot of high-end nourishing products.
Not only did he look particularly majestic, but he also successfully won the favor of his prospective father-in-law and his prospective mother-in-law, and was warmly received.
During the dinner, it was natural to discuss the marriage arrangements and plans between him and Liu Weijing.
At the same time, Liu Weijing’s parents were quite satisfied with Zhang Shihui’s answer and sincerity because of his strong backbone and confidence.
So Liu Weijing’s father, Lao Liu, drank too much for the first time.
After the wine was over, the old man was so drunk that he couldn't keep up the New Year's Eve, so he went back to the house to sleep.
And Zhang Shihui, who convinced her future father-in-law, took advantage of her mother-in-law to take care of her wife.
He sneaked into Liu Weijing's boudoir and had sex with his fiancée openly.
Sitting in the room, Liu Weijing couldn't help but complain.
"You are really good at it. You can see that my dad is very happy today. He drank a glass of wine from the left and a glass from the right. My mother is embarrassed to tell you, and she will scold me later. Are you serious?"
Zhang Shihui quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do it. I thought your dad had a good drinking capacity. The more he drank, the brighter his eyes became. Who would have thought, he would get drunk even if he said he was drunk. What?”
"Is this okay? The day after tomorrow, I will come to make amends on the first day of the second year of junior high school. It doesn't matter where your mother is, hasn't she been talking about that gold and silver quilt today? Isn't it okay if I buy two beds?"
"Don't worry, I promise to make your mother happy. If I don't have this ability, how can I be your son-in-law?"
Liu Weijing couldn't help but smile, but asked a little pretentiously.
"Why don't you have time tomorrow? You're not free tomorrow?"
"I'm really not free. I plan to go to the hotel tonight to be with Ning Weimin. I'll accompany him to watch the New Year. I'll go directly to his place tomorrow morning. I've already agreed to see where Uncle Kang goes. , right?”
"That's true. Okay, I'll do as you say."
Following Liu Weijing, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said.
"Oh, it's already past eight o'clock. Let's sit down for a while, drink hot tea and then go..."
This time the preface and the follower are inconsistent, but Zhang Shihui was stunned.
"Let's go? Where are we going? There's still heavy snow falling outside. Well, you're sending me to the hotel so early?"
"What? You are really... Don't you have to go to the Telegraph Building to make a long-distance call to your parents every year? I mean, since our affairs are almost settled, I should go with you this year. . Say a few words to your uncles and aunts, and wish them a happy new year..."
This is when Zhang Shihui suddenly realized.
Overjoyed, he held Liu Weijing's hands tightly in his own...
But you must also know that life will not be exactly the same template after all.
There are some families and some people who have their own unique joys and sorrows in the same beautiful life passage.
And only they themselves can know the specific taste of it.
Just like this moment, Lan Lan locked herself in the room after dinner, sat in front of her desk, and stared at herself in the mirror in shock.
This is something that often happens during this period of time.
She did go back to school again.
She followed Ning Weimin's advice and shouldered the expectations of her family, just like she had for the past nine years.
Stare at the blackboard carefully every day and copy down the test questions and the answers given by the teacher.
Both her family, teachers, and former classmates are all happy for her return to class.
But only she knew that she was actually very reluctant.
She is just forcing herself, forcing herself, to try to get back into life for the sake of her parents and her so-called future.
She has no idea whether she can be happy again by making such a choice that satisfies everyone.
She didn't know when the inexplicable pain in her heart would completely dissipate.
The only thing that can give her a sense of comfort now is the painting Ning Weimin gave her.
With this, she seems to be able to maintain a fragile connection with some exciting emotions...
Coincidentally, the Luo family from Courtyard No. 2 of Shan'er Hutong also appeared A hint of disharmony.
Just when the banquet was about to end, Luo Guangsheng put down his wine glass and mentioned a taboo of the Luo family and talked about something that made Master Luo extremely disgusted.
"Dad, I want to go to Chadian'er in the second grade of junior high school. I'll bring something to see Xiao San'er..."
"No, why are you going where you are? You have free time! Don't mention this to me."
"Xiaosan'er is my biological brother after all, your biological son..."
"I don't have this son for a long time, don't you know? My son should be the champion of the individual school, isn't he? Rogue. Don't make me unhappy!"
"Dad, it's been so long, and you haven't missed him at all in the past two years..."
"I don't want to! Bastard! I told you to stop talking. Don't think that I can't touch you now that you are a father!"
At this moment, Pan'er was hit by her grandfather's violent slap on the table. I woke up with a start and cried loudly.
The words Luo Guangsheng reached his lips were immediately stopped.
Looking at Miao Yujuan, who was anxious to coax her son, she quietly waved to herself.
Look at the angry-eyed father and the mother whose face is uglier than crying.
He could only sigh helplessly and swallow those words alive.
