National Tide 1980.

Chapter 129

Facing the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, Aunt Bian was most impressed by the fact that the liquefied petroleum gas was so easy to use.

Although I am embarrassed to say it.

I really felt in my heart that if it weren't for this stove with sufficient firepower, this year's New Year's Eve dinner would never have been prepared so early and so neatly.

Thanks to Ning Weimin's encouragement, otherwise he would have been tired for at least an hour.

What Uncle Bian is most satisfied with this year is that his second son is also promising.

Like the soft drinks, quinces, pickles, quail eggs, and beef sauce on this table.

But they are all good things that others can't see.

Didn't Bian Jiangong get it back like that?

But because of this, he also had to think of Ning Weimin's benefits.

Because if it weren't for someone who took the initiative to give up the job, how could there be such a good day today?

I'm afraid there is nothing left to worry about at home.

Not to mention that Bian Jiangong may still be worried about not having a job, even the marriage of the eldest son Bian Jianjun will have to be delayed.

So Uncle Bian looked at the family sitting around him.

She laughed so much that she put her eyebrows together and couldn't bear to separate them.

Even after taking a glass of wine filled by the eldest son, the first sentence 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 family, but Jiangong finally has a good job. Our family is really blessed!"

"But taking this opportunity, I also have to tell you brothers. After dinner, you all go to the room next door to have a look. There are only two people in Lao Kang and Wei Min, one old and one young. Wei Min has to go to work at night, so I'm afraid it's a little too deserted."

"We can't forget the benefits of others. We have to know where vinegar is sour and salt is salty in everything. The most important thing to be a human being is to drink water and think about the source. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have such a happy reunion dinner this year. Know ?"

The whole family was stunned by the twist in Uncle Bian's words.

But soon, Aunt Bian echoed and said yes.

The two brothers also came to their senses and nodded accordingly.

Both of them raised their glasses of wine and bowed one after the other.

"Dad, we know..."

"Dad, we listen to you..."

There is no need to say anything anymore, the strong family affection and the fundamentals of life are all drunk by the father and son...

If you continue to look down, it's the turn of Master Luo's family.

This year's Chinese New Year is even more lively for this family, because with the addition of a precious grandson, there are countless things to do.

Robin is also their plate, a gift from God to the Luo family.

Even though this little man has been in this world for four months, the adults of the Luo family still feel incomparably novel about this doll-sized child, and they really never get tired of watching it.

During the meal, the little man happened to wake up and immediately became the focus of the dinner.

First, Miao Yujuan took her into the house to change the diaper and feed the baby.

Then it was papa hugging and grandpa teasing. Both Master Luo and Luo Guangsheng couldn't care less about drinking and eating.

Until Master Luo dipped a drop of white wine with his chopsticks and made the child cry, Aunt Luo completely overturned.

The old lady slapped the table and scolded the two men at home.

"Bah! Do you want to raise a drunkard like you? Go, step aside. Be careful that your stench has poisoned my eldest grandson!"

But Master Luo didn't let go even though he was laughing.

Still holding the wine glass, looking at the little figure in Aunt Luo's arms without moving her eyes.

Look, the child's small nose and eyes have changed and become stretched.

The eyes gradually became brighter, and the arms and legs began to become rounder.

With such a regular appearance, he will definitely be a big man when he grows up...

But at this moment, the big man cried "Wow", and there was a red streak of blood on his face.

It turned out that the child's own nails had scratched his face.

This is a big deal!

The child had never suffered such a serious injury since he was born, and he almost choked up from crying, his face was ashen.

Aunt Luo was in a state of disorientation, she kept calling "Baby" and "Sweetie" and coaxed her.

Master Luo laughed loudly, "Boy, why are you afraid of being hurt a little, it makes you nervous. It's not like your own son has never experienced it. He just sewed two cloth covers for the little hands."

Aunt Luo was not happy anymore, "It's easy to put it bluntly, you're just a single seedling now, can you not be more careful? It's not like back then, when you were busy working in the factory every day, I had to take care of everything at home alone. Even the two little ones have to be taken care of by our eldest daughter. Now that parents, grandparents and grandparents are all around, is it plausible for these four adults to make a mistake with one child? Cut!"

Master Luo laughed even more when he heard it, but slowly his smile faded away.

Suddenly he turned to his son.

"Guangsheng, after the reunion dinner, take half of the water chestnut that your father-in-law gave you today and send it to Uncle Kang and Weimin. Let them have a taste of it too."

"Not to mention that we all rely on Weimin for our pan'er's milk powder, and we will always be grateful to him. Even the old and the young have lost their relatives, and it's not good for us to just sit at home and ignore them. "

"Chinese New Year is different than usual, so it's not easy to ask people to come to our house. You represent our whole family and take care of them in the past. It's good to add some popularity to their house..."

So, Luo Guangsheng repeatedly agreed.

On the other side, Aunt Luo was also agitated, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right, Wei Min's mother, it's been 'gone' for four or five years, right? Not only is the child Wei Min back, but he is now so promising. If my old sister is still alive, it would be great to see it with my own eyes. what?"

"There is also Mrs. Kang, who helped us a lot back then. She was also very kind and kind-hearted. In 1960, because our family was difficult and talkative, she always stuffed us with at least ten food stamps. It's a catty."

"When I had liver disease, they gave me a catty of Iraqi candied dates and two taels of brown sugar. Really, no matter how good a person is... 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 if the neighbors want to visit, they have a lot of worries, but they are afraid that they will be involved in the awkward real estate dispute between the two.

But this year is different. In the entire No. 2 fan'er alley, these neighbors who have benefited from them must regard the old and the young as the objects of key care.

But this is still not everyone who cares about them, because there are still people who miss them even further away.

This year, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Shihui's image in Liu Weijing's family is indeed a bit close to that of the golden tortoise.

He came to Liu's house for a New Year's Eve dinner in decent clothes, and brought two bottles of tiger bone wine and a lot of high-end nourishment.

Not only did she look extraordinarily imposing, but she also successfully won the favor of the prospective father-in-law and prospective mother-in-law, and received a warm reception.

During the meeting, it was natural to discuss his and Liu Weijing's marriage arrangements and plans.

At the same time, because of her solid waist and confidence, Zhang Shihui's answer and sincerity made Liu Weijing's parents quite satisfied.

So Liu Weijing's father, Old Liu, drank too much for the first time.

At the end of the banquet, the old man was already drunk and hazy, unable to keep the New Year's Eve at all, so he went back to sleep directly.

And Zhang Shihui, who has poured out the future husband's pole, took advantage of the prospective mother-in-law to take care of his wife.

He sneaked into Liu Weijing's boudoir and flirted with his fiancée openly.

Sitting in the room, Liu Weijing couldn't help complaining.

"You're really good. I can see that my dad is happy today. I pour him a glass of left and right. My mother is embarrassed to say you, and she will definitely blame me later. Are you intentional?"

Zhang Shihui hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I thought your father could drink well, but the more he drank, the brighter his eyes became. Who would have imagined that he would be drunk if he said he was drunk?"

"That's it, okay? The day after tomorrow, I'll come to make amends on the first day of the second day of junior high school. It doesn't matter where your mother is, hasn't she been talking about that gold and silver silk quilt today? If I buy two beds, it will be over?"

"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 smiling, but asked a little hypocritically.

"Then why is it the day after tomorrow? Are you free tomorrow?"

"I really don't have time. I plan to go to the hotel tonight to be with Ning Weimin and watch the new year with him. In the morning, I will go directly to his place with him. It was agreed a long time ago. Look at his face." Uncle Kang is going. We have benefited from Weimin this year, so I should wish him a New Year, right?"

"That's right. Well, I'll do as you say."

Following Liu Weijing, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said again.

"Hey, it's past eight o'clock. Then let's sit down for a while, drink some hot tea and leave..."

Zhang Shihui was taken aback by the incoherence of the preface and the afterword.

"Let's go? Where are you going? It's still snowing outside. Well, you sent me to the hotel so early?"

"What? You 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 we are almost settled, I should go with you this year too .Say a few words with your uncles and aunts, and wish them a new year..."

Only then did Zhang Shihui suddenly realize.

Overjoyed, he tightly held Liu Weijing's two hands in his own...

But also know that life will not be exactly the same template after all.

Some families and some people have their own unique joys and sorrows in the same beautiful life.

And the specific taste of it, only they themselves can know.

Just like at this moment, Lan Lan, who had eaten, locked herself in the room, sitting in front of her desk, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

This is something that has often happened during this period of time.

She did go back to school to study.

She followed Ning Weimin's advice and carried her family's expectations, as she had done for the past nine years.

Staring at the blackboard carefully every day, copying the test questions and the answers given by the teacher.

Family members, teachers, and former classmates are all happy for her return to class.

But only she knew that she was actually very reluctant.

She was just trying to get back into life for the sake of her parents and her so-called future.

She had no idea whether she could be happy again after making such a choice that satisfied everyone.

She didn't know when the inexplicable pain in her heart would completely dissipate.

Now the only thing that can give her some comfort is the painting that Ning Weimin gave her.

With this, she still seems to be able to maintain a fragile connection with some exciting emotion...

Coincidentally, there was also a trace of disharmony in the Luo family in No. 2 courtyard of Fan'er Hutong.

Just because when the banquet was about to end, Luo Guangsheng put down his wine glass and brought up taboos of the Luo family, and talked about something that Master Luo hated so much.

"Dad, I want to go to Chadianer on the second day of junior high school. Bring something to see Xiao Saner..."

"No, what are you doing there, you are free! Don't mention this to me."

"Little San'er is my own brother after all, your own son..."

"I don't have this son for a long time, don't you know? My son should be the individual school champion, not a hooligan. Don't make me unhappy!"

"Dad, it's been so long, you don't miss him at all? For two years..."

"I don't want to! Bastard! I told you to stop talking. Don't think that you are a father, I won't be able to impress you!"

At this moment, Pan'er was awakened by the sound of grandpa's violent slap on the table, and burst into tears with a "wow".

So Luo Guangsheng's words came to his lips and he was stopped.

Miao Yujuan, who was anxiously trying to coax her son, quietly waved at her.

Look at the angry-eyed father and the mother whose face is uglier than crying.

He could only sigh helplessly, and swallowed those words back.
