National Tide 1980

Facing the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, Aunt Bian’s most emotional feeling was that LPG was so easy to use.

Although I'm embarrassed to say it.

But I really feel 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 so early and prepared so neatly.

Thanks to Ning Weimin's encouragement, otherwise he 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, quince, pickles, quail eggs, and pickled beef on the table.

But they are all good things that others cannot see.

Didn't Bian Jiangong get that back?

But precisely 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'm afraid 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 his eldest son Bian Jianjun's marriage would have to be delayed.

So Uncle Bian looked at the family sitting around him.

He smiled so hard that his eyebrows were pressed together and he couldn't bear to separate.

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.

"Okay, 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 I have to take this opportunity to give you two brothers a warning. 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's house, an old man and a young man. Weimin has to go to work at night, so I'm afraid it will be too deserted."

"We can't forget the benefits of others. In everything, we have to know where vinegar is sour and salt is salty. The most important thing in life is to drink water and remember the source. If it weren't for others, our family wouldn't have a 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 wine glasses and leaned over one after another.

"Dad, we know..."

"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 Master Luo's family's turn.

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, a gift from God 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 took the meson into the house to change the urine and breastfeed the child.

Then there are daddy hugs and grandpa teasing, and neither Master Luo nor Luo Guangsheng can 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 slammed the table and scolded the two men at home.

"Bah! Do you want to raise an alcoholic like you? Go ahead and move aside. Be careful that your stench will infect my eldest grandson!"

But even though Master Luo was laughing, he didn't leave.

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 had scratched his face.

This is a big deal!

The child had never been so seriously injured before when he was born. He almost choked from crying and his face was livid from holding back.

Aunt Luo was at a loss for words. She kept shouting "darling" and "darling" and rocking and coaxing her.

Master Luo laughed heartily, "Boy, what are you afraid of getting hurt? You're so nervous. It's not like your own son has never gone through the process of sewing two cloth covers for his little hands."

Aunt Luo was not happy, "It's easy to say, now we are such a single child, how can we not be more careful? This is not like back then, when you were busy working in the factory every day, and I had to take care of everything at home. Even the two little ones have to rely on our eldest daughter to take care of them. Now that the parents and grandparents are here, how can these four adults make mistakes if they have a child? Tsk!"

Master Luo laughed even more after hearing this, but his smile slowly faded away.

Suddenly he 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 in Pan'er depends entirely on the help of Wei Min, and we always have to thank them. Just because 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, go over and take care of them. Even if you can add some popularity to their house, it would be good..."

So, Luo Guangsheng agreed repeatedly.

On the other hand, 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?"

"And Mrs. Kang, she helped us a lot back then. She was also a very nice person with a kind heart. In the 1960s, because our family was in trouble and talked too much, she always gave us food stamps of at least It’s about ten kilograms.”

"When I had liver disease, I was given a pound of Iraqi candied dates and two ounces of brown sugar. Really, how can a good person be... ugh!"

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 banquet 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. I drank him a cup here and a cup on the right. My mother is embarrassed to tell you. She will definitely scold me later. Are you serious?"

Zhang Shihui quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I thought your dad had a good drinking capacity. The more he drank, the brighter his eyes became. Who would have thought that he would get drunk just because he said he was drunk?"

"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? Shouldn't it be over 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 bit hypocritically.

"Then why is it the day after tomorrow? You're not free tomorrow?"

"I really don't have time. I plan to go to the hotel tonight to be with Ning Weimin and stay with him. Tomorrow morning, I will go directly to his place with him. We have already agreed, let's take a look at his Uncle Kang, go. This year we have benefited a lot from the defense of the people, so I wish you a happy New Year, right?"

"That's true. Okay, I'll do as you say."

Liu Weijing looked at the watch on his wrist and said.

"Hey, it's already past eight o'clock. Let's sit there for a while, drink some hot tea and then go..."

This time the preface did not match the postscript, but Zhang Shihui was stunned.

"Let's go? Where are we going? There's still heavy snow falling outside. Well, why are you throwing me into 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 uncle and aunt, and wish them a happy new year..."

Only then did Zhang Shihui suddenly realize.

Overjoyed, she held Liu Weijing's hands tightly in her own...

But we must 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 passage.

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

Just like this moment, after dinner, Lan Lan locked herself in the room, sat in front of her desk, and stared at herself in the mirror in shock.

This is something that happens frequently during this period of time.

She did go back to school.

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.

Her family, teachers, and former classmates were all happy for her return to class.

But only she knew that she was actually very reluctant.

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

She had no idea whether she could ever be happy again by 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 could give her some comfort was 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 in Courtyard No. 2 of Shan'er Hutong also experienced a trace 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 my second year of junior high school. I'll bring something to see my mistress..."

"No, where are you going? You have free time! Don't mention this to me."

"After all, Xiaosan'er is my biological brother, 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, not a gangster. Don't make me unhappy!"

"Dad, it's been so long and you still don't miss 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 awakened by her grandfather's violent slamming of the table, and cried "Wow" loudly.

As a result, Luo Guangsheng's words even reached his lips and were immediately stopped.

Seeing Miao Yujuan anxiously coaxing 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.
