Back to 1988

During Chinese New Year, Mrs. Cheng's place is the busiest. There are a lot of people here, especially the juniors.The house bought by the third brother Cheng Ru next to the old lady came in handy. There were seven or eight rooms on the upper and lower floors with new bedding and bedding, waiting for the sisters to come back, just let them live in peace of mind, the four of them The two sisters got together to talk, happy to say anything, full of endless words.

Yone Zehai and Cheng Qing also came back for the New Year. They went to have a reunion dinner with Mi Hong first. Mi Hong's temperament was as weird as before. They didn't let them clean up after the meal and drove them back again.

Yone Zehai stood at the door and said, "Dad, if you don't want me to accompany you here, then I'll let Yang Yang come over..."

Mi Hong closed the door in front of him, almost slapped his face with a "slap".

Mi Zehai rubbed the tip of his nose, stood there and called him again and wanted to speak, Cheng Qing who was next to him pulled his sleeve, shook his head and lowered his voice: "You still said, didn't you see that Dad is angry? "

Yone Zehai said with a bitter face: "I didn't do anything else, why every time Yang Yang comes, he has to be praised, and when I come, he closes the door and drives me away."

Cheng Qing was amused by him, dragged him back and said: "When Yang Yang came here, he never talked to you so much, let alone Dad, my ears are getting calloused, just a few words over and over again , I asked three times just if I had a physical examination."

"I haven't seen him for a year, I'm worried."

"Then dad still wants to be quiet all year round!"

When the two of them talked all the way back to Mrs. Cheng, the Spring Festival Gala had just started, and the family was making dumplings while watching TV and laughing.Seeing the couple come back, Cheng Ru immediately smiled and said, "Yo, the elder brother-in-law is just in time, catch the dumpling wrappers, you will do the best job for the whole family!"

Yonezawa took off his down jacket and washed his hands, came back and took the rolling pin, sat on the small bench and started to work.

There are so many people here, everyone is talking about interesting things on weekdays, and Yonezawa's previous depression was dispersed after a while, and he was also laughed twice.

Mi Yang also came to help, but was pushed aside by Mrs. Cheng, "It is enough to have adults here, you have been busy all day, go over there and play with them!" She pointed to the place where the children gathered next to her, It doesn't matter that Mi Yang is in college now, and he still treats him as a heartache, no matter how old she is, she is still a child in the eyes of the old lady.

Mi Yang still wants to stay: "Grandma, I want to be with you, I can do the dishes or something."

The old lady refused and pushed him away.

Mi Yang went to the group of children, and the five children over there raised their heads and called out "Big Cousin", and Mi Xue also called out together. Mi Yang was amused by the little girl, pinched her little face and said with a smile: " What are you shouting, I am your brother."

The little girl giggled. Both of her pockets were filled with toffee. I don't know if it was stuffed by Mrs. Cheng or some aunt. It felt like a little hamster.

The children in several aunts’ families were younger than him. Mi Yang took out a flying chess and took them to play together. There were also many snacks on the table. I concentrated on watching the Spring Festival Gala, and I was very happy to see my favorite star.

Mi Yang is also watching the Spring Festival Gala.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, Uncle Benshan was still there, and the sketch torchbearer played made the whole family laugh. Everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala and talked about the next year's Olympics.

Cheng Rudao: "Let me tell you, let's make an appointment with the whole family to buy tickets together, so we can cheer on the spot!" She turned her head and said excitedly, "Mom, haven't you always said that you want to travel to the capital? Do you still want to go to the university where Yang Yang studied?" Haven't seen it!"

Mrs. Cheng just wanted to say that she didn't want to go when she was old, but she turned a corner abruptly when she heard the second part of her sentence: "Well, it's good to go and have a look."

Yone Zehai immediately said: "Then I will be in charge of buying the tickets. I am short on time and may not be able to keep up with the group trips of the large troops. Our family will send Qing'er and Xiaoxue as tour guides, and Yangyang will accompany them locally."

Cheng Rudao: "Then I will cover the accommodation!"

Cheng Chun was a step late and said, "Then let's unify our clothes, and I will take care of the clothes."

Cheng Ge said with a smile: "It's good to have more sisters. I think for a long time, then I will have the food. Don't grab me!"

While talking, the dumplings were wrapped. While the big pot was cooking the dumplings, the small frying pan next to it was also busy. First served a four-dish assortment of cold dishes, followed by a few stir-fried dishes. The casserole was ready in the afternoon. Lu City doesn’t like to eat steamed fish, but they like to get a big carp for the occasion during the festival. The red tail one is especially festive. I use it to make sweet and sour carp. The sweet and sour taste is the favorite of children. But that's all.

The adults yelled in the kitchen, and the children cheered in turn to serve the dishes, and they were served in the restaurant like a stream of water, such as sea cucumbers with green onions, Sixi meatballs, whole boneless grilled chicken, fried meatballs and Crispy meat...the table was full of tough dishes, and only two or three vegetarian stir-fried vegetables were found in the corner, but there was a hibiscus custard in the center, which was specially prepared for the old lady, and you could see it at a glance.

The men in the family opened the wine, and as soon as the good Wuliangye was opened, the aroma of the wine overflowed. Mi Zehai also poured a small cup for Mi Yang and asked him to drink with him.

Mrs. Cheng and the others drank mango juice with the children. The children who were celebrating Chinese New Year had sweet mouths. They picked up nice auspicious words for the old lady, and she couldn't stop laughing.

The old man went to bed early at night, and couldn't stand it when he was too old, so he didn't stay with them to watch the new year.

The young ones had a rare chance to stay up late, and no one was willing to go to sleep. The elders and adults also went back to rest one after another. Before leaving, they were told to sleep at the old lady's side and not to make too much noise.

On New Year's Eve, people set off firecrackers and fireworks one after another. Mi Yang gave some fairy sticks to his younger siblings and asked them to take them out and play for a while, and it was lively again in the middle of the night.

Just after zero o'clock, Mi Yang received a call from Bai Luochuan. Hearing that the fireworks were being set off over there, and greeting each other with the sound of firecrackers, Mi Yang smiled and said, "Grandpa Bai, go to sleep, help me." I asked him a happy New Year, and I will go to visit him tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings."

"No, he's by my side, you can tell him." Bai Luochuan said and gave the phone to Bai Lao, and waited by himself, smiling and watching them greet each other, seeing that they hadn't hung up after talking for a long time I didn't want to urge them, so I put on a thick coat and went to the yard to set off two more strings of firecrackers to make myself happy.

When he came back, Bai Lao was chatting with Mi Yang about tomorrow's arrangements, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've been really bored these two days, come and accompany me to relieve boredom, and those little monkeys in your family will also be bored." Bring it together, the place here is big enough for them to play."

Bai Luochuan came in and took off the gloves, and asked, "Mi Yang will come over tomorrow?"

Old Bai returned the phone to him, and said contentedly: "Come on, he said he would come to accompany me for a day. All his relatives have come together. It's convenient that he doesn't have to run back and forth to pay New Year's greetings."

Bai Luochuan said with a smile: "Our family is also together, hurry up tomorrow and let Xiaoguai give you a good New Year greeting."

Bai Laoxun has a thick skin, but Bai Luochuan doesn't care. He feels at ease when he is with the old man. Bai Lao knew about him and Mi Yang a few years ago, and he still asks Bai Lao for a red envelope, "I I've given it, so Xiaoguai must have one, right?"

Bai Lao booed him, stretched out his hand to drive him away and said with a smile: "Go quickly, you will give one to every family!"

Luo Jiangjing and Bai Jingrong came over hand in hand, they held two red envelopes in their hands, saw their grandfather and grandson laughing there, only heard the last sentence, Luo Jiangjing also laughed and said: "What are you talking about so lively, what about one family? "

Before Bai Luochuan could open his mouth, Bai Lao said, "Every family gets a red envelope, and your family's Luo Chuan got it."

Luo Jiangjing said: "You gave it here, we can't let it go, Luo Chuan gave it, this is from your parents." She handed over two red envelopes and pushed her husband, Bai Jingrong nodded and said: "Take it Well, you did a good job and worked hard this year."

Bai Luochuan was in a good mood for the New Year, he took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

Luo Jiangjing took out another one and handed it to him: "Here's another one, tomorrow you see Xiaoguai help me give it to him."

Bai Luochuan took it calmly, and Luo Jiangjing sat and chatted with him for a while, eight out of ten sentences were about Mi Yang, and the mother and son chatted and laughed very easily.On the other hand, Bai Jingrong, who was next to him, took a longer look, probably a little strange, but seeing his wife and old father talking about other people's children there with normal expressions, he knew a lot about both academics and daily life, and he only regarded Mi Yang as a Very good, I didn't think too much about it.
