I miss you for a long time

The New Year's Eve dinner is prepared by everyone, of course, it mainly depends on grandma, and everyone else is only at the level of helper.

Lin Ran and Jiang Ye took Lin Yao and Wen Luo to play with whips from grandma's canteen. Lin Ran and the two little ones were like the same age, playing box after box, plus the children from other families in the alley. They all gathered together, and the play was even more boundless. Jiang Ye just stood aside, quietly watching them throwing whips at each other, but he didn't go up to play with Lin Ran.

Lin Ran ran around and returned to Jiang Ye, and poked his face: "Brother Ye, don't you want to play with us?"

Jiang Ye told the truth: "I have never felt such a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere, so I don't know how to blend in."

"Very good." Lin Ran hooked his neck and said with a smile: "To be honest, I like it very much, so I will also ask directly, what did you do during the Chinese New Year? Chen Xingyun definitely couldn't cook the New Year's Eve dinner."

"We're not together, I don't know." Jiang Ye thought for a while: "In elementary school, I was at that house, because I had nowhere to go, so I could only endure Chen Xingyun's daily abuse and even beating. Chinese New Year, no Chinese New Year, impression Chen Xingyun scolded me every day, day and night, so when I was young, I would rather not have school holidays, and would rather stay in school all the time."

Lin Ran joked: "That's why the grades are so good?"

Jiang Ye said with a smile: "Effort is one aspect, talent is also one aspect."

Lin Ran agrees: "Yes, genius is 90.00% sweat and 90.00% inspiration. Edison's words have been used as chicken soup to comfort the hearts of many people. In fact, there is a second half of the sentence" but often the [-]% One's inspiration is more important than [-]% nine's sweat', are you kidding me?"

"Funny." Jiang Ye handed the remaining box of whips to Lin Ran: "Hurry up and take Lin Yao and the others to play."

"Brother Wild."

"Ok?"

"I'll take you somewhere after dinner."

"To the water tower behind?"

Lin Ran clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes at Jiang Ye: "Why do you want to say it, can't you be a little excited about it?"

Jiang Ye laughed twice: "You fucking went out after lunch, and you didn't bring me with you. If I can't figure out why, don't grow the brain of such a bully."

"Well, even if you know to go to the water tower, it doesn't matter, you don't know what I have prepared." Lin Ran just wanted to find Lin Yao, when he saw Zhang Donglin's car driving into the alley, he brushed his hair a little irritatedly: "This old bastard has such a thick face, he really did come to have the New Year's Eve dinner."

Jiang Ye looked at Zhang Donglin who was parking the car, and asked, "Is there no one else in your father's family?"

Lin Ran shook his head: "No, my grandparents passed away early, and I have never seen them. Now that he is divorced, he can be regarded as a lonely family, but grandma definitely didn't let him come because she felt sorry for him alone, but because she heard that he was alone. He was the one who sent me to study abroad, heh."

Jiang Ye said: "If they join forces, you will really be sent abroad."

"I'm an adult, even if they are tied, I will run back." Lin Ran turned his head to look at Jiang Ye: "You are still worried about this, don't deny it."

Jiang Ye smiled and said, "I didn't want to deny it, I was just worried that they would get you out of the country and take you away from me."

"How many times do you fucking want me to say, I won't go abroad." Lin Ran was a little angry, but Zhang Donglin had already got out of the car, and was waving at him, telling him to go and get his things, "I'll talk to you at night, I'm so annoying .”

Jiang Ye stood on the spot and watched Lin Ran help Zhang Donglin with things. The two of them couldn't finish with their four hands, so he had no choice but to step forward to help, and politely called uncle.

Zhang Donglin responded, and the three of them walked into the house with their hands full of gifts.

Lin Ran walked into the living room far away and threw the gift box in his hand on the sofa, shook his red knuckles from being strangled, and turned around to mock Zhang Donglin: "What? I haven't been here for more than ten years. This is a one-time purchase. All the presents?"

Zhang Donglin ignored his sarcasm, put the gift on the coffee table in a gentlemanly manner, stared at the two little boys on the sofa, and commented: "They look so good-looking, one looks like Lin Chengxiao, the other looks like his partner, the two A man can raise children very well.”

Then Zhang Donglin glanced at Lin Ran and Jiang Ye with some deep meaning, Lin Ran got what he meant in an instant, quickly changed the subject, and shouted to the kitchen: "Meng Meimei, your ex-son-in-law is here."

Grandma responded, but she didn't come out. Instead, Lin Chengxiao came out wiping his hands and said hello to Zhang Donglin: "You came very early, and you brought so many gifts? Maybe you gave away all the ones you didn't give in the past ten years."

Zhang Donglin snorted, and glanced sideways at Lin Ran: "You are his own uncle, you speak the same way."

"Is it wrong that a nephew is so much like an uncle?" Lin Chengxiao came over and made a cup of hot tea for Zhang Donglin, and said with great care, "Have a cup of tea and warm your hands."

Zhang Donglin squinted at him, but took the hot tea obediently, glanced at the tea leaves in the hot water, and said with disgust: "You are also a person with an annual salary of one million dollars in Wall Street, how can you drink such cheap tea?"

Lin Chengxiao spread his hands: "This is the tea that Uncle Qin drank. If you are interested, why don't you give it away? How can he be your teacher once?"

Zhang Donglin found an exquisitely packaged box from a pile of presents, put it at the front, and looked up: "Uncle Qin, this is the best black tea, he should like it."

"Uncle Qin is helping in the kitchen, you can give it to him yourself later."

Lin Ran felt that the two of them were about to enter the conversation of middle-aged people, so he pulled Jiang Ye up and walked to the kitchen, "Let's help grandma cook."

Seeing the two of them coming in, grandma quickly pushed them away: "Don't come in, the kitchen is not big, and there are so many people crowded in, all go out, I can handle it by myself."

Lin Ran didn't want to go out to face Zhang Donglin, and he couldn't go upstairs with Jiang Ye, so he had to push Grandpa Qin and Wen Zexi out: "Grandpa Qin and Auntie go out, I'll cook, and I will too."

Grandpa Qin and Wen Zexi were just helpers, and they didn't know how to cook, so they left the kitchen.

Jiang Ye broke the stage at the right time: "What do you cook? Instant noodles?"

"Don't worry about me, a good student can do it as soon as he learns it. I can't sell it now." Lin Ran glanced at the cut meat and found it difficult, then glanced at the vegetables, and finally locked his eyes on the cut meat. on the sliced ​​lotus root. "Let me cook hot and sour lotus root slices, this is simple."

Grandma was cooking braised pork, and when she saw that he wanted to use another pot to cook vegetables, she immediately stopped him: "You bastard, I beg you to get out, don't make trouble for me, things that get in the way, I can do it myself quickly. "

Jiang Ye stood at the side holding back his laughter, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only pull Lin Ran out: "If you don't want to stay with your father, let's continue to take the two little boys out to play with the whip."

"Don't go, it's too cold." Lin Ran took out his mobile phone: "Let's sit a little farther away and play on the mobile phone."

Lin Ran and Jiang Ye were playing a game of eating chicken, and the two kids watched around them, while Wen Zexi was sitting with Grandpa Qin, he could vaguely hear Zhang Donglin and Lin Chengxiao talking about going abroad, Lin Ran increased his intensity The volume of the phone drowned out those words that would affect his mood.

"Come in and serve the food, dinner will be ready soon." Grandma's voice came from the kitchen.

Everyone got up and went to serve the dishes, leaving Zhang Donglin sitting on the sofa alone. He felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at Grandpa Qin who was sitting on the single sofa, moved his noble buttocks and sat next to Grandpa Qin, and the two chatted. Picked up the tea.

Serving the dishes, serving the dishes, serving the dishes, and opening the wine, everyone has a clear division of labor, and soon the table is full, the sound of firecrackers outside, the table is steaming, this is the New Year's Eve atmosphere of.

Lin Ran held white wine in his hand, and Jiang Ye held red wine in his hand. The two stood together and looked at everyone: "Would you like white wine or red wine, please raise your hand."

Grandma was the first to say, "I'm still baijiu, I'm not used to red wine."

Grandpa Qin put the wine glass in front of Lin Ran: "Ah Ran, pour me white wine."

Lin Chengxiao, Zhang Donglin, and Wen Zexi chose red wine, Lin Ran and Jiang Ye poured a glass of red wine themselves, and the two boys drank fruit juice. The whole family raised their wine glasses and clinked together, saying in unison: "Happy New Year!"

After drinking a glass of wine, grandma seemed to have finally remembered Zhang Donglin. The old man looked at Zhang Donglin who was sitting opposite, and went straight to the point: "Are you going to send Lin Ran abroad?"

Zhang Donglin was eating a piece of braised pork, and swallowed it with a gulp, not sure if it was chewed.He picked up the tissue paper at hand and wiped it, he looked like a silly son-in-law visiting his mother-in-law's house for the first time, his nervous appearance almost made Lin Ran burst into laughter.

Zhang Donglin sat upright, "I planned it, I told him about it earlier, but he didn't agree."

Grandma asked, "Are you going to America? Are the procedures complicated?"

Zhang Donglin said: "I am partial to the United States, but if Lin Ran wants to go to other countries, I can handle it."

Grandma thought for a while, then turned her head to ask Lin Chengxiao: "Are you really planning to come back?"

Lin Chengxiao put down his chopsticks, and said seriously: "I've thought about it for a long time, and it's not because I came back to China this time. I made a lot of money in Wall Street. It's very easy to ensure that my wife and children are well-fed. Maybe it's because I am nearly forty years old, and the thinking of middle-aged people is changing. I am homesick and want to work close to home. Zexi also supports my choice, so I plan to return to China for development.”

Although grandma didn't understand the nature of Lin Chengxiao's work, she couldn't help but worry: "Will you start from scratch when you return to China? It will be very difficult."

Lin Chengxiao said with a smile: "The salary is definitely not as good as that on Wall Street, but with my qualifications and ability, it's not like starting from scratch. There are many companies that want me. I can also start my own company. This is all under discussion."

Grandma nodded, and then looked at Zhang Donglin: "Then let Lin Ran go to the United States, like his uncle, and go back to China with gold plating."

Lin Ran put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, and glanced at everyone present, the table was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.

Lin Ran opened his mouth: "Did I personally agree to your discussion?"

Grandma said earnestly, "We are doing this for your own good."

"Stop it." Lin Ran tried his best to control his temper: "Grandma, you can't get away with it, and you still use this for your own good. But I feel that I am very good, and I don't need you to treat me. Life is pointing fingers."

Lin Ran looked at Zhang Donglin: "Dad, I said many times before that I would not go abroad, do you think I talk like fart, or do you think you can control my life! I don't need your advice for ten years , now it is also unnecessary, I decide my own life, I said, I will not go abroad, do you understand? If not, I will say it again. "

Zhang Donglin was startled, he didn't expect Lin Ran to suddenly lose his temper at the dinner table, he hesitated, and said: "I said, I can let Jiang Ye go abroad with you."

Grandma also echoed: "Yes, with Jiang Ye, you two can go abroad together."

Jiang Ye, who had been silent all this time, said: "I won't go abroad, I don't want to use anyone's relationship or money to study abroad. If Lin Ran goes abroad, I will stay in China."

I will stay in the country and wait for him until he returns to the country, but Jiang Ye can't say this.

Lin Chengxiao was really afraid that the New Year's Eve dinner would be ruined if there was no agreement, so he hurriedly acted as a peacemaker: "We will discuss this matter another day. Let's eat first. The food is going to be cold."

Grandpa Qin also said: "Yes, let's eat first, but the matter of going abroad depends on Lin Ran's own wishes, even if you are elders, don't interfere."

Lin Ran didn't accept their ambiguous words. He looked at his grandmother and Zhang Donglin: "There's no need to discuss it another day. Let's make it clear today. I said I won't go abroad. Are you going to insist on my going abroad? If you insist, then There's no need to eat this meal, I'll show you guys when I run away from home on New Year's Eve."

Grandma raised her hand and knocked the chopsticks on Lin Ran's head: "It's been a long time since I beat you, right? Eat! If you don't go abroad, you won't go abroad. Why run away from home? Who can you scare?"

Lin Ran rubbed his head and muttered, "It can scare you."

"What about you?" Lin Ran is not easy to fool, grandma let go, Zhang Donglin has not yet promised, he stared at Zhang Donglin, as if if you force me to go abroad again, you don't want to eat here.

Zhang Donglin sighed: "You can do whatever you want, I can't force you. If you figure it out in the future and want to go abroad after university, I will still help you."

"Then thank you, don't worry, there won't be such a day." Lin Ran squeezed Jiang Ye's hand under the table, and said with a smile: "Then continue to drink, enjoy yourself."

Jiang Ye grabbed Lin Ran's hand and held it tightly, the corner of his mouth was already curved into a moon, no matter what he couldn't conceal his happiness.

Lin Ran refused to go abroad so utterly, so he won't bring up the matter again, and he doesn't have to worry about Lin Ran leaving, that's great.
