Chapter 1378 Depressing New Year's Eve Dinner
The Spring Festival is approaching, the colorful colors reflect the strong human touch, and the whole country celebrates with joy.

On New Year's Eve, Wang Gang originally planned to celebrate the holiday at home, but he could not resist the enthusiastic Ma Kui, and finally the three families decided to celebrate the holiday together, at Ma's house.

Wang Gang's family of three, Ma Kui's family of four, and Peng Mingjie's father and daughter, a total of nine people gathered at one table, it was very lively.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner began, Ma Yan pulled Wang Gang aside and pleaded, "Brother Xiaogang, Wang Xin will be here soon. Can you say something good about Wang Xin in front of my dad?"

Wang Gang was surprised and said, "You called Wang Xin here without consulting Uncle Ma!"

Ma Yan said: "Wang Xin has no one at home. He is alone every Chinese New Year and feels lonely, so I called him over."

Wang Gang glanced at Ma Kui who was making dumplings and said, "You are too bold. What day is it today? You asked Wang Xin to come over. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Ma Yan said: "I thought that there were many people at home today, and my dad would let Wang Xin stay for the sake of face."

Wang Gang disagreed and did not agree with it.

Ma Yan has been dating Wang Xin for many years without her parents' knowledge. At first, Ma Kui and Wang Sufang were both focused on their unborn baby Ma Jian, so they naturally didn't notice it.

But now Ma Jian is almost three years old, and Ma Kui is a very capable criminal policeman. There is no way that Ma Yan can hide her tricks from him.

Ma Kui and Wang Sufang opposed Ma Yan and Wang Xin being together more than once. Ma Kui almost beat his daughter once. If Wang Sufang hadn't pretended to be sick, Ma Yan would have been beaten.

Ma Yan is also a stubborn person. Once she has set her mind on Wang Xin, she will not care about anything and no one can persuade her. She insists on being with Wang Xin. The two of them have been dragging their feet like this for several years.

Today Ma Yan couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to marry Wang Xin, so she acted without authorization on New Year's Day and invited Wang Xin to her home to celebrate the New Year and enter the house to test Ma Kui's attitude.

"Ma Yan, you should know that because of Wang Yongge's relationship, Wang Xin will only be a small policeman in the passenger police team and will have no future. Do you still want to choose him?" Wang Gang pulled Ma Yan into the room and called Peng Yongli to persuade her.

"Sister Yan, have you really thought it through? Wang Xin has nothing, and so many things happened between your two families in the past. If you really get married, Second Dad will definitely not be able to accept it!" Peng Yongli said, holding Ma Yan's arm.

"I know everything you said, but I have chosen Wang Xin. No one can persuade me." Ma Yan said stubbornly.

Wang Gang said with a straight face: "If you really think it through, we will not persuade you anymore, but we will not help you either."

"Why?" Ma Yan asked unwillingly.

"Because we don't want to see you jumping into the fire pit." Wang Gang sighed, "Have you ever thought that Wang Yongge will be released in a few years, and you and Wang Xinzhen will get married. How will Uncle Ma face this in-law?"

Ma Yan said stubbornly: "Wang Yongge has paid the price for what he did, and my father has forgiven him and Wang Xin, so why can't he allow us to get married?"

"It's easy for you to say. After all, Wang Yongge caused Uncle Ma to be wrongfully imprisoned for ten years. No matter how generous he is, he would never marry his only daughter to Wang Yongge's son." Wang Gang advised.

Ma Yan obviously disagreed, so Wang Gang simply stopped persuading her. Wang Gang had seen many people like Ma Yan who were in love. People like this would not turn back until they hit the wall, and sometimes it was useless even if they hit the wall.

Wang Gang didn't want to waste his breath.

After a while, Wang Xin came to the door with something in his hand. The moment Ma Kui saw him, his face turned green.

Ma Yan came out to smooth things over. Seeing that it was New Year's Day and there were so many people at home, Ma Kui could only hold his nose and invite Wang Xin in.

"Master, today is New Year's Day. I brought some New Year's goods. Please accept them." Wang Xin put the things he brought in front of Ma Kui.

"Don't call me Master. I'm not your Master anymore." Ma Kui said with a straight face, "You can call me Uncle Ma if you want. It's also OK if you don't want to call me by my name, Ma Kui."

Wang Xin said: "Once a teacher, always a father. You once accepted me as your apprentice, so you will be my master for life."

Wang Sufang pushed Ma Kui, reached out to take Wang Xin's things, and said with a smile: "Wang Xin, come in and sit down, let's have the New Year's Eve dinner together."

Although Ma Kui had a gloomy face the whole time, he did not drive Wang Xin out. He knew that Wang Xin had nowhere to go during the New Year and would be all alone, so he felt sympathy for him.

Ma Yan happily pulled Wang Xin to sit down. Just as she was about to sit next to Wang Xin, Ma Kui pulled her up. "Sit next to Uncle Peng and Xiao Li and help me greet them." Ma Kui didn't want his daughter to get too close to Wang Xin.

"Uncle Peng and Xiaoli don't need my care." Ma Yan said unwillingly.

"Then go and help your mother take care of the children." Ma Kui said solemnly.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became tense.

Wang Gang winked at Peng Yongli, who immediately understood and stood up and said to Ma Yan, "Sister Yan, let's go make dumplings! Second Mom is tired after a busy day, let her have a good New Year's Eve dinner."

Peng Yongli walked over to Ma Yan and dragged her to the kitchen.

Ma Kui sat directly next to Wang Xin, and said to him with murderous eyes: "Is the passenger police team busy now?"

Wang Xin's forehead began to sweat, and he subconsciously replied: "It's OK. There are more people during the Spring Festival this year than in previous years. Many people go to the south to celebrate the festival."

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Peng Mingjie took the initiative to ask Wang Xin: "Why go to the south to celebrate the festival? Isn't it better to stay in your hometown and have a reunion dinner?"

Wang Xin explained: "Nowadays, many young people go to the south to work, and it is difficult to buy tickets for the New Year, so their families will go there in advance to reunite with their families."

"Has the South really changed so much now?" Peng Mingjie remembered Wang Gang's suggestion to go south to do business, and immediately inquired.

"I'm running on the Shanghai line now. The changes there are indeed huge, almost changing every day. It's very different from here." Wang Xin nodded.

Peng Mingjie lowered his head and thought for a while, wondering whether he should go to the south in person after the New Year. He would feel uneasy if he didn't see some things in person.

Wang Gang had been observing his future father-in-law, and knowing that Peng Mingjie was tempted, he said to Wang Xin: "Wang Xin, I heard that there are a lot of people doing business in Shanghai, is that true?"

"Yes." Wang Xin said somewhat depressedly: "Just near the Shanghai train station, the business atmosphere is very strong. Sometimes I want to quit my job and go into business."

"You're going into the sea? The police won't allow it!" Ma Kui frowned.

Ma Kui had put in a lot of effort to help Wang Xin keep his job as a flight attendant, so when he heard that Wang Xin wanted to go into the sea, his reaction was bigger than anyone else's.

Wang Xin said in a low voice: "Because of my father's matter, I have been excluded from the police force. I may not be able to continue working as a police officer."

Wang Gang could understand that as a relative of a murderer, Wang Xin might be isolated in an ordinary unit, let alone a police unit.

Ma Kui was silent at this time, and then he remembered that Wang Xin had paid a lot because of Wang Yongge's matter. In fact, what happened back then had nothing to do with him.

"Alas, it's adults' affairs that shouldn't involve children." Ma Kui thought secretly.

At this time, Ma Yan came out of the kitchen with a large plate of dumplings and said loudly: "Wang Xin, if you quit your job and start your own business, I will also quit my job, and then we can start a business together."

The little bit of compassion that Ma Kui had just felt was instantly shattered by Ma Yan's words.

"Why are you joining in the fun? The work at the supply and marketing cooperative is stable, and you'll get a guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood. You are not allowed to resign." Ma Kui slammed the wine glass on the table with a bang, splashing a large amount of wine.

"Dad, the salary at the supply and marketing cooperative is too low. The money we earn every month is not even enough for food." Ma Yan complained.

"Is the family missing a meal from you?" Ma Kui said angrily.

Wang Sufang secretly pushed Ma Kui.

"Old Ma, it's Chinese New Year, let's talk about it after the New Year."

Ma Kui had a stern face, but he didn't say anything more about his daughter.
