night fades

In the afternoon, Lin Ye took the old man to prepare the new year's goods. In fact, there was nothing missing at home, but the old man hadn't been discharged from the hospital for a long time, and he didn't know how long it would take to recuperate after the operation. , You have to be busy to feel like the New Year.

The noon of the New Year's Eve is the busiest time. His grandfather has no children in his life, but his brothers and sisters are still alive. It is a big family to bring their sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren together.Lin Ye has long been regarded as his grandson, and he is treated the same as a bunch of younger ones, giving them lucky money during the New Year.

He was a little embarrassed when he accepted it, "I'm such an adult, I still get red envelopes like Xiao Douding."

"Most of them are my grandsons. Take it, take it." Grandpa happily watched the whole family gather together. They are usually busy, so it's rare that everyone can be so together.

"Okay, then grandson will give you New Year's greetings." Lin Ye was sweet-mouthed, and he was kind to a group of younger brothers and sisters, making the whole family very happy.

"Brother Lin Ye, I want to eat your pork ribs!"

"chocolate!"

"I want to eat shrimp dumplings!"

A group of small people who were about to run out of red envelopes all gathered around Lin Ye, knowing that Lin Ye had many tricks to cook delicious food, and they waited to eat the new tricks Lin Ye researched every year.

"Okay, chocolate, pork ribs, shrimp dumplings, eat them all!" Lin Ye really likes children, and since he knew that he could have his own children through hard work, he has treated these little kids better, and has changed his ways every year. Give them good food.

"Don't give them sweets, you won't like my food when you go back after eating." The second aunt called him in the kitchen, "Come here and help me prepare lunch, I'll wait for you Stealing a teacher there."

"Oh, what are you talking about? Do you still need to steal? If you want to learn, I must hurry up to teach you. I'm just afraid that the class will get an axe." Lin Ye smiled and finished dealing with the children, walked into the kitchen and began to help. Prepare today's lunch.

Every year, they eat the most sumptuous and lively lunch at noon. One is that the old man’s appetite will not be so good at night, and the other is that relatives have to go back to celebrate the New Year. They can’t stay here all the time, so they simply treat lunch as a New Year’s Eve dinner In the evening, he and grandpa will make dumplings together.

"You kid, you've been sweet since you were a child. I'll give you a red envelope as well."

"Happy New Year, Second Aunt! This year's [-]th and next year's [-]th!" Lin Ye opened his mouth and came, "But I really don't dare to accept the red envelopes given by the aunts. They look like little girls when they walk down the street. I’m almost downgraded after receiving the red envelopes.”

One sentence made a few people who were busy in the kitchen laugh, and the uncle who was making friends in the living room also booed. Lin Ye asked them to take pictures several times, and it was another year of red envelopes.

A group of people were eating, and what they ate was not the food, but the atmosphere. The old man hadn't been this lively for a long time, and when the food was served, he asked, "Can't you drink some wine during the Chinese New Year?"

The uncles and grandpas immediately echoed: "You have to have it, but let's have some fun, and you don't want to drink it."

"Hey, Xiao Douding can lick wine with chopsticks, did you really take a sip when I came here?" The old man was a little disappointed.

"If you want, I'll give you something to drink with chopsticks, but don't expect me to be as generous as you. When I was young, letting me lick wine with chopsticks would make me drunk." Lin Ye said deliberately .

"Don't you have to thank me for drinking so much today? If you hadn't been drinking since childhood, would you have such a large amount today?"

"Yes, yes, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Lin Ye's words were half-truthful, a bit like a joke, but he was serious when he listened carefully.

It took about three hours to eat a lively meal. One uncle drank too much and took a nap in the afternoon before leaving. It was almost six o'clock before leaving. Lin Ye smiled and said, "No more It's time to make dumplings again, or don't leave at night, we are short of labor here."

"You kid can stand up to three, if you don't leave, you will have to drink and lie down at night."

Lin Ye knew that it would be inconvenient for them to stay, so he no longer forced them to stay. Everyone said goodbye lively. He closed the door and said to his grandfather, "Go and rest for a while. Let's watch the Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings. Shall I go down with you to set off firecrackers later?"

Zhou Ning'an went out on time at five o'clock in the afternoon on the New Year's day, and arrived at Song Yan's house on time at six o'clock. She was not married, and their family was not separated. Taste or something else.

Knowing that he was coming a long time ago, their whole family was waiting in the living room, and their eyes glanced at Song Yan intentionally or unintentionally, and then at the door. It was not until Zhou Ning'an arrived at the gate on time that everyone ended this inquiry, and Song Yan was also slightly relaxed. Take a breath.

"You're here. You're on time. Is the car easy to drive on the way?" Song Yan went to the door to greet her. Zhou Ning'an smiled at her, handed the gift to the nanny waiting at the door, and said gently: "How about you?" Yes, there are few cars on the street during the two days of Chinese New Year, so it’s not considered a traffic jam.”

He glanced up and found that there were quite a few people sitting on the sofa, but it was quite quiet, not even a person eating melon seeds. He nodded to the old man sitting in the middle and said, "Happy New Year, Uncle."

"Happy Chinese New Year, happy new year, you kid, come home for dinner, what else do you bring?" Song Rin was sitting on the sofa, slowly put down the teacup, stood up and greeted Zhou Ning'an, and greeted Zhou Ning'an in a friendly and friendly tone: "It's coming soon!" It's a family, don't be shy, come in and sit down."

As soon as he stood up, all the people sitting on the sofa stood up to greet Zhou Ning'an. He was not overly flattered, and sat down with Song Yan under everyone's gaze.He and Song Yan sat opposite the old man, and the others all returned to the seats they were sitting just now, looking more honest than usual in a meeting.

The nanny brought tea over, Zhou Ning'an took a sip and put it down, only to hear the old man open his mouth to chat with him: "Is Ning'an busy recently? The company is well managed."

"It doesn't matter whether you're busy or not, I'm used to it." Zhou Ning'an replied politely, and by the way, reminded those around him who were watching him covetously for fear that he was here to divide the family property. He took over the family business since he was a child. Think about their family business.

"Yes, you have been taking care of it after your father passed away. You are doing well. Heroes give birth to teenagers. I said, you don't need to have many children, as long as you have a promising one." He said, and he glanced at Song Yan The dissatisfaction of the elder brothers was obvious, obviously they had a dispute just before he came.

"Not only have heroes come out of youth since ancient times, but women have never given up to men. Isn't Song Yan very outstanding. But her luck is better than mine, and she is always taken care of by others. Of course, sometimes she seems a little immature." Zhou Ning'an said very well. The trick is to remind Mr. Song that his future heirs will probably depend on this daughter, and to praise him in a disguised way for his ability to raise children. It is only because of too much control that Song Yan can't let go of things today.

Song Yan squeezed his hand quietly to express her gratitude. Zhou Ning'an didn't respond extraneously. He came here today on business. Since he wants to cooperate with Song Yan, he has the sincerity to help her get what she wants.For example, the trust of the father, and less favoritism towards the older brothers.

"Song Yan, she has to be strong since she was a child, and she can't bear any grievances. After marrying you, she has to take good care of her. On our side, her brothers can help her take care of her in the future. Can you live Alright, I don't have anything to worry about." Song Rinzheng finally said it, and Song Yan rolled her eyes obviously, showing an irritable expression.

"Dad, this is the first time Ning An has come here, and you always tell him what we are doing with these crap things in our house." When negotiating with Zhou Ning'an, he was calm and calm, and when he talked to his father, he somewhat carried the emotions of a little girl.

"Xiaoyan, what did you say? It's a mess. You're going to get married. Don't father tell you?" A man sitting next to him opened his mouth to speak. Mr. Song had been trained as an heir for many years, but as soon as he joined the company, he got involved in a lawsuit and had to abdicate to give up his position.

"That's right, you are young after all, if we think of something, we can just say a few words, and it can help you, you child, you won't recognize your mother's family before you get married." This time it was probably her second sister-in-law who spoke. , sat next to another man.

Song Yan showed a contemptuous smile, and didn't even look at her, as if she didn't even bother to fight.

They kept talking, and before Zhou Ning'an could speak, the old man couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded him in a low voice: "Mr.-in-law is here to eat for the first time, how noisy are you guys here! Eat!"

The crowd immediately became quiet, and their dissatisfaction only raised their heads to glance at Song Yan from time to time. Song Yan sat beside Zhou Ning'an, facing any gaze with indifference.

Zhou Ning'an watched coldly, and basically understood what the family was like before he arrived. I am afraid that the family has never lived in peace since he confirmed his engagement to Song Yan, and it was just for the early separation of the family.For the first time, he was glad that he didn't have these messy relatives. Their family's New Year's Eve was much simpler, and it was just his dinner alone.

He suddenly missed Lin Ye very much.
