Black-bellied CEO: Lai Shang's Assistant

Chapter 210 New Year's Eve

For the Chinese, New Year's Eve not only means the end of the year, but also means reunion.

Since the early morning, every household has been busy.Tang Xiaochen was dragged down by Liu Yun and had to wake up early.

"Mom, where's grandma?" Tang Xiaochen came out of the bathroom, looked around, but didn't see Zhang Cuihua.

Liu Yun put down the vegetables in his hand, walked over and whispered, "Grandma is not feeling well, and she went back to sleep."

"Mom, grandma has often been like this recently, let's take her to the hospital." She turned her head and looked at the closed door, faintly worried.

Liu Yun sighed softly, and reached out to pat Tang Xiaochen on the shoulder, "Let's talk about it after New Year's Eve. The elderly are looking forward to a family reunion. We must try our best to make grandma happy, and don't make her feel bad about New Year's Eve." .”

Tang Xiaochen nodded, sitting on the sofa thoughtfully.

The doctor also said that there is no possibility of a complete cure for diabetes, and for this reason, all sugar-containing medicines cannot be taken.In this way, grandma's other physical problems cannot be cured, and she is always worried that grandma will not be by her side when she wakes up one day.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaochen quietly walked to Zhang Cuihua's room, opened the door and looked inside.

Zhang Cuihua didn't fall asleep, she sat up subconsciously when she heard the door opening.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I woke you up." Tang Xiaochen forced a smile, seeing Zhang Cuihua's body getting thinner and thinner, feeling very sad.

"Da Ya, come here." Zhang Cuihua waved to her, smiling kindly as she remembered.

My mother said that the first person who hugged her was grandma when she was born. The first time she spoke, she was not talking about mom and dad, but grandma.

Since she can remember, grandma has been by her side, giving her encouragement and warmth.In her heart, grandma is not an elder, but more like a good playmate on the road of growth.The thought of losing this playmate one day made her unable to control her emotions.

"Big girl, why are you upset? Today is New Year's Eve, so be happy." Zhang Cuihua reached out and touched Tang Xiaochen's face, then took out a bag of biscuits from under the pillow, "Someone gave it to me, grandma If you can’t eat it, I’ll keep it for you.”

"Grandma, I don't want you to leave me." Tang Xiaochen rested her head on Zhang Cuihua's arms and sniffed violently.

Zhang Cuihua smiled slightly, her gray hair made her face even older.

After living for more than 70 years, she has already seen through life and death.

"Big ya, grandma has had diabetes for ten years. Thanks to your parents taking care of me and strictly controlling my diet for these ten years, otherwise grandma would have died. No matter how old people live, they will die. Grandma has such a lovely granddaughter like you." , and a filial son and daughter-in-law, I am already content."

"But I want grandma to stay with me all the time, and not to go anywhere." Like a stubborn child, she tightly wrapped her arms around Zhang Cuihua's waist.

Zhang Cuihua gently stroked the top of her head, and said, "Grandma has no regrets in her life, but she feels sorry for one person."

"Who?" Tang Xiaochen poked his head out of Zhang Cuihua's arms, and looked at Zhang Cuihua curiously.

Zhang Cuihua opened her mouth, but did not make a sound, then shook her head and said, "Grandma doesn't want to talk about this person, maybe he is no longer alive."

As she spoke, Zhang Cuihua's eyes gradually diverged, as if she had returned to the time deep in her memory.

Tang Xiaochen didn't ask further, but always felt that the person grandma mentioned should be related to embroidered shoes.But just like Dad said, no one has their own secrets.Since grandma didn't want to say it, she didn't want to force it either.

"Big girl, go and help your father put up Spring Festival couplets." Zhang Cuihua came back to her senses and said.

Tang Xiaochen nodded, and quietly exited the room.

Tang Zhongqiang was cutting the red paper, when he saw Tang Xiaochen coming, he hurriedly handed her a pair of blank couplets, "You write the couplets on the gate this year, other dads have already bought them."

"Dad, my calligraphy is so ugly, can I put it on the gate?" Her house lived on the first floor, and there was a constant stream of people passing by, and her bad calligraphy was not buried to death.

"In the past, you wrote it. Of course, you will write it this year. Maybe you will get married in two years. Dad wants you to write even if you can't find anyone."

"Dad, you are not suitable for taking the route of sensationalism, my mother is more suitable." Tang Xiaochen twitched the corners of his mouth, and obediently picked up the brush to write couplets.

Tang Zhongqiang watched from the sidelines, unable to tell what it was like.Ever since he met his daughter's boyfriend, he felt more and more in danger.What's more, her daughter's boyfriend is so good, it's hard for him as a father not to marry his daughter.

The sun slanted to the west, and the sky began to dim.The continuous sound of festive firecrackers is like a majestic river.

Liu Yun brought all the meals to the table, and the whole family took their seats.Zhang Cuihua sat in a high position, her joy was beyond words.

Tang Xiaochen was like a pistachio, clinking glasses with Tang Zhongqiang, talking nonsense with Liu Yun, and telling jokes to Zhang Cuihua from time to time.

Compared with the bustle of the Tang family, the Bai family's old house seemed very deserted.

Aunt Pu had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, but Bai Qixuan didn't come back until eight o'clock.Bai Yuanfeng insisted that the banquet would not be held until all the people were present, so when Bai Qixuan came back, all the food was cold.

Auntie Pu reheated the food, and after Bai Qixuan took his seat, Bai Yuanfeng's expression was not very good.

"Dad, I hope you are in good health and everything goes well." Bai Muhan held up his wine glass to touch Bai Yuanfeng, and then did it first as a respect.

Bai Yuanfeng was smiling, but the smile only remained on the surface.He didn't say a word, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Bai Qixuan from time to time.

Ling Meihua felt something strange, so she hurriedly pushed Bai Qixuan with her elbow, "Toast your father."

"Oh." Bai Qixuan stood up holding his wine glass, and said, "I don't know what to say."

"Forget it." Bai Yuanfeng threw the chopsticks on the wooden table violently, the loud noise made everyone tremble.

Bai Qixuan sat down with a blank expression on his face, and ate on his own.Bai Muhan was a little absent-minded, and didn't even take a few mouthfuls of food.

It's obviously a family whose blood is thicker than water, but no one spoke on such a reunion day.

The old house of the Bai family in Nuo Da was terribly quiet, which also made Bai Yuanfeng's heart chill a lot.

After the meal, Bai Muhan returned to the room first.He tossed and turned on the bed with his mobile phone, and changed the edited text message over and over again, until only four words "Happy New Year" were left.

Just when Bai Muhan was hesitating, Tang Xiaochen called.He jumped up from the bed happily and immediately connected the phone.

"My mother asked me to say Happy New Year to you." Tang Xiaochen was under Liu Yun's strict surveillance at the moment.

Bai Muhan hummed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Another endless silence followed.

Tang Xiaochen spoke first, "If it's okay, I'll hang up first."

"Wait a minute." Bai Muhan hurriedly said, after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Happy New Year."

He has a lot to say, but he doesn't know where to start.
