1803: The Fourth New Year After Rebirth (4 Updates)
On New Year's Eve, Grandma Yu went back to celebrate the New Year with her son and grandson.
She didn't want to see her son, at least she ignored her grandson. She made buns for Xu Changle and brought some for Xia Xiaolan's family. The two families walked for less than two minutes.
Xia Xiaolan met her when she went back, and immediately grabbed a bun to eat.
"Your craftsmanship doesn't say, it's this!"
She gave her a thumbs up, softening her grandma's serious face.
"Your Uncle Xu won't let me do anything you say, saying that I'm afraid I'll be tired. Haha, how many years have I been doing it? Besides, I'll make it for you and my grandson. If he has the ability, don't eat it!"
The old lady was also rude to Xu Zhongyi during the Chinese New Year.
Xia Xiaolan did not speak for Xu Zhongyi either.
When people are old, they also want to be needed by others, and they are afraid that they will be useless.
Some people have been leaders for many years, but suddenly retired, their families are neglected, they are no longer needed, and most of their energy is lost.
Elderly people who are not in demand tend to go to extremes, and some are particularly insecure.
Some hope that their children will pay attention to it, and they will become more and more...
Grandma Yu didn't care about money, and the old lady also worked a little, but Xu Zhongyi was the only one who made it.
What can outsiders say, this is what Xu Zhongyi owes his own mother, and I will pay it back slowly in the future. After all, the old lady is also getting old, and I don’t know how many years I can work. Maybe Xu Zhongyi also wants the old lady to work more energetically and live. longer!
As the old saying goes, if a child wants to be supported but his relative is not there, adding a white-haired person to send a black-haired person is a tragedy in life.
No matter how rich and powerful it is, it’s useless. Those close relatives are gone, and neither money nor power can bring them back to life, so cherish them while they are alive.
Xia Xiaolan bit the bun and looked at Comrade Liu Fen with black and shiny hair and few wrinkles on her face, the more she looked, the happier she became.
"Eating a steamed bun and smirking?"
Liu Fen laughed at her, but Xia Xiaolan did not explain.
Comrade A Fen is still so young, and Xia Xiaolan is naturally very happy to be able to accompany her for many years.
Laotang is called Laotang all day long, but Laotang is not old.
So a family of three, this stable family environment makes Xia Xiaolan happy.
This afternoon, she didn't go anywhere. She stayed at home obediently and helped Liu Fen. Because Tang Hongen's cooking was not delicious, he was assigned to do odd jobs, and Xia Xiaolan took a job cutting vegetables.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yong came with Li Fengmei and Liu Zitao. The junior Xia Xiaolan was completely kicked out of the kitchen, and her task was to play with Liu Zitao.
Hehe, two people are so different in age, how can they play together?
Xia Xiaolan had no choice, so she took Liu Zitao to buy firecrackers and set them off on the street.
Xia Xiaolan agreed with him in three chapters: one is not allowed to throw on pedestrians on the road, two is not to be thrown in places that are prone to fire, and the third is of course not to blow up manhole covers!
"Let me know that if you throw it into the sewers, throw it into the ditch, our sister and brother will be cut in two!"
Is it that serious?
Liu Zitao felt that the firecrackers in his hand were very hot.
Children in the countryside really like to throw cannonballs into the dry toilet... The description details are too disgusting, mainly because it is not safe.
"Several cuts" is too deterrent this time, and Liu Zitao probably won't forget it for several years.
He was still unwilling to set off firecrackers timidly. When Xia Xiaolan also shared half of the firecrackers, Liu Zitao was immediately rejoicing.
When they got to the door, the two had only set off half of their firecrackers.
It doesn't feel cold to play.
The four adults in the family have been busy at home all afternoon, and have prepared a table of dishes early.
Fried and fried, with fish and meat, a very hearty New Year's Eve meal.
Because of the good atmosphere, Liu Fen also specially approved Tang Hongen to drink a glass of wine. Xia Xiaolan pulled out a bottle of red wine and poured a glass in front of everyone except Liu Zitao:
"Mom, why are you taking care of Uncle Tang from head to toe?"
Tang Hongen glanced at her, "Your mother cares about me, what do you know?"
Yes, one is willing to manage, the other is willing to be managed, she is the one who is nosy.
Tang Hongen picked up the wine glass, "Wine is just a carrier, so I wish our family good health, learning progress and smooth work in the new year!"
Liu Yong laughed, picked up the glass and added:
"The New Year is here, Gong Xi Fa Cai, the wealth is coming!
It made Tang Hongen laugh.
Everyone picked up the cups and drank, and there was no need to toast. The family is not so particular about drinking in a hurry and hurting the body. Why bother?
As Tang Hongen said, wine is just a carrier to express joy and set off the atmosphere.
After eating a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family watched the Spring Festival Gala together.
Everyone watched every show with relish. The stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 1987 was not as dazzling as later generations, and the picture quality of the TV was not high-definition, but every show was done with great care.
Even Xia Xiaolan thought it was pretty.
When the Baodao male singer took the stage to sing "A Fire in Winter", both Li Fengmei and Liu Fen looked straight.
This is so enthusiastic!
The singer is handsome and stylish, and his ears are almost on fire!
The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala, the phone rang.
Zhou Cheng called Tang Hongen and Liu Fen to say New Year's greetings.
This is really a different treatment for being the head of the regiment. Zhou Cheng has never called so late, and now he has a higher self-confidence.
by degrees.
During the Spring Festival this year, some chiefs went to the troops to offer condolences, and Zhou Cheng and the others had to do a good job of welcoming them.
Others can take a holiday during the Spring Festival, but he absolutely cannot leave. He can only look for opportunities after the New Year's Eve and the New Year's Day.
Finally, Lao Tang handed over the phone to her. The sound of New Year's Eve firecrackers came one after another outside. Zhou Cheng laughed on the phone:
"Daughter-in-law, happy new year!"
"You too, happy new year, be happy every day!"
The New Year's bell rang in 1987.
This is Xia Xiaolan's fourth New Year's return.
...
The Xu family is 100 meters away.
Xu Zhongyi was completely drunk.
This is the first Spring Festival where he brought his son and reunited with his old mother after many years of separation.
How many times has he fantasized.
He will return home with his wife and children one day.
However, it is impossible for Cui Yiru to come back. Death is a relief for Cui Yiru, and she cannot face what she has done.
And his father couldn't wait for this day either.
There is also a daughter, Tina, who is not close to the Xu family at all.
When Xu Zhongyi became Master Qiu, he had power and money, and he could take revenge... The mess after revenge could not be solved by money. I don't know how long it will take to heal the scars.
Xu Zhongyi couldn't make too detailed expressions, but he was drunk.
It's happy, it's mixed flavors.
"The amount of alcohol is still as bad as before..."
Grandma Yu looked at her son, muttered something, and gave Xu Changle a bun again.
"You eat more, you liked it when you were young."
"Grandma, I also like to eat now."
It's still the same taste as when I was a kid, nothing has changed.
Xu Changle swallowed the buns, "...Grandma, can you really not accept Tina?"
