Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 316 New Year's Eve Dinner

Wait until all the dishes are served.

Everyone suddenly realized that this year's New Year's Eve dinner was probably the most sumptuous meal everyone had ever eaten.

Except for the banquet of the wedding banquet, after all, many dishes are for flattery, the taste is second, and the appearance and symbolic meaning are the most important.

And what are the dishes on the table in front of you?
The attractive color of the squirrel mandarin fish will increase people's appetite just by looking at the appearance.

There is also Yongzheng Roast Duck packaged from outside.

Braised pork made by Wang Weidong himself.

Fresh and tender shrimp.

There is also a little Buddha jumping over the wall with various materials gathered together.

Croquettes symbolize family reunion.

The braised pork knuckle symbolizes prosperity and wealth in the coming year.

And a stewed chicken with mushrooms that Ding Qiunan strongly requested.

The staple food is naturally the indispensable dumplings for northerners.

The dishes on this table look like a lot of styles, but in fact, the portions are just enough for eight people.

In the era of lack of food and clothing, big guys would rather eat less than waste.

After taking his seat, Ding Boren, as the head of the family, spontaneously stood up and said auspicious words.

Then came Father Yang, who repeated what Ding Boren had said in another set of rhetoric.

After the family clinked a cup, they began to move their chopsticks.

Everyone's face is filled with joy.

This is Wang Weidong's first year in this world after time travel.

For him, it has a special meaning.

After dinner.

The women went to boil hot water to take a bath, while the four men got together to play mahjong.

This is almost an indispensable entertainment for every family during the Chinese New Year.

After all, there are not many programs to watch on TV, let alone the Spring Festival Gala, what else can I do besides playing mahjong?
It's just entertainment to pass the time.

The four of Wang Weidong are all well-organized, so naturally they don't know how to gamble.

After Ding Qiunan returned to the living room, he felt that the four of them just had no fun playing like this, so he proposed to put something on his face as a bet.

For this reason, she deliberately turned out the large bag of plastic clips she bought newly.

After making a bet, the four men all started to get serious.

Especially the two old men Yang Zhenhua and Ding Boren.

How shameful it would be if you can't play with young people and have clips all over your face.

However, reality always backfires, or it should be said that both Yang Zhenhua and Ding Boren tend to forget the saying that girls are extroverted.

They didn't take precautions against Ding Qiunan at first, and only after most of their faces were covered with clips did they realize that they had been tricked.

Only then did he realize that the traitor Ding Qiunan had been breaking the news to Wang Weidong and Ding Qiushan.

It was obvious that he wanted to trick the two old men.

It was too late to find out.

After driving Ding Qiunan away, both Wang Weidong and Ding Qiushan became conservative.

If you are less cooked, you win, and you can eat chicken Hu.

When Mrs. Yang and Mother Ding came back, they saw the embarrassment of their husband.

I couldn't help laughing at the moment.

The two old men who were full of resentment looked at each other, and seeing each other's embarrassment, they couldn't help laughing in the end.

But the two of them said nothing and refused to continue playing. These unfilial sons and daughters know how to trick their elders, and they are playing a fart!

After the mahjong table dispersed, the whole family gathered together to watch TV.

What is shown above is Mr. Yuan's storytelling, as a classic that can be handed down to future generations.

Even Wang Weidong, who traveled from the future, watched with relish.

It's just that at six o'clock in the evening, the color TV screen suddenly jumped to the interface of a snowflake.

Wang Weidong thought there was something wrong with the antenna, and was about to go out to fiddle with it.

But I heard Ding Qiushan say: "Weidong, don't go!"

Wang Weidong turned around and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Ding Qiushan explained: "It's Chinese New Year today, the people on the TV station get off work at six o'clock, so there are no programs to watch."

Wang Weidong was stunned.

It’s okay if there is no Spring Festival Gala, and even other programs will not be shown, what is this called?

In the past, I always complained about the Spring Festival Gala, which was not good, and that was not good. When I didn’t even have to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Weidong remembered its benefits.

I feel lonely buying this color TV. One of the greatest joys of Chinese New Year is watching TV and discussing programs with the whole family.

But now that this fun is gone, Wang Weidong doesn't know what to do.

Get into bed with your wife earlier?

It's not impossible, but Ding Qiunan is pregnant with a child now, Wang Weidong dare not mess around.

Wang Weidong rubbed his chin, feeling that this would not work.

Don't waste the TV you bought at home!
After finally getting so many color TVs back, it’s not just to give myself some entertainment in my spare time.

It's unrealistic to shoot TV dramas in China, and Wang Weidong doesn't have such a big right here.

But there is no such problem in Hong Kong Island, he just got through the sky-earth line there.

Not to mention TV series, even if you want to make a movie, there is no problem.

However, at present, Hong Kong City seems to only have the experience of making Cantonese feature films. It may be a bit difficult to shoot the TV series that Wang Weidong wants.

But the problem is not a big one. If there are difficulties, we must address them. If there are no difficulties, we must address them even if we create difficulties.

With such a large market, it is really hard to justify not intervening.

And it can better stimulate the development of mainland film and television.

Don't always try to focus on the big screen, the effect is even stronger on the small screen.

After all, no family will go to the movies every day, but the penetration rate of TV will become wider and wider, and it is a good channel for publicity.

In order to prevent future small screens from being full of bad dramas praising braids and traveling back and kneeling and licking braids, Wang Weidong felt that he had to rescue them.

But this matter is not urgent. I will contact Uncle Hua in Hong Kong City in another day and ask him to find a way to operate it.

There is no TV to watch, so the big guys can only get together to brag and fart. As a family, there is always something to talk about.

And according to traditional customs, men have to watch their age.

Had to wait until after midnight before going to bed.

It was less than nine o'clock, and there were already sporadic firecrackers sounding outside.

This is a family with better conditions playing around.

Under normal circumstances, a large family buys at most five or six rings of firecrackers for the New Year.

One circle during the New Year's Eve dinner, and one circle in the early morning on the first day of the new year.

Put it on again when you wake up in the morning.

Keep the rest for when relatives come to visit.

Change to stay around for the Lantern Festival.

Fireworks and the like are even rarer.

These things are no different from burning money. Everyone is not well-off, so who would bother with these things?

You have to wait 20 years before the Spring Festival atmosphere is the strongest.

Especially in rural areas, setting off firecrackers and fireworks is the same as engaging in competitions. They can go from dusk to early morning, and money is not taken seriously at all.

Before dawn, Yang Zhenhua and his wife proposed to leave.

Wang Weidong didn't stop them this time, and drove the two elders back by himself.

In the coming year, if he takes in a few more courtyard rooms, he may be able to take over the members of the Ding family and Yang Zhenhua and his wife for the New Year.
