Say it's only once

This year's New Year's Eve is earlier than usual, on January NO.20.

Therefore, it has only just arrived in January, and red lanterns have been hung on both sides of the avenues in Ningcheng, and many commercial areas are also decorated with red accessories, creating a festive atmosphere.

Lu Wei sat in the car, looking out the window, not in the mood for the New Year.

Seeing this, Chi Yaxu comforted: "Don't worry too much, grandma is soft-hearted. I told her about the interests, and she will always consider Chi Jin's future."

"My mother...hey, you don't understand." Lu Wei sighed heavily.

"Let's tell her clearly what kind of person that is, can mom still support me?"

Lu Wei raised his spirits slightly: "I hope so."

however--

"Impossible! Of course not that kind of person!"

The two entered the room and told their grandma what Ji Ran did when they met that day. Grandma frowned and flatly denied it.

Lu Wei also frowned, with a helpless and anxious tone: "Why am I lying to you, that little girl is just uneducated, she can do things to elders, how can she be a child from a good family?"

Ever since Chi Jin disclosed his love affair at home, Lu Wei has been so depressed these days that he can't sleep well, and whenever he thinks about it, he has a headache.People also haggard a lot.

She could not accept that she had a female son-in-law, nor could she imagine how others would view her family.

Aunt Fang came over with tea, listened to it, and couldn't help but look at Chi Yaxu, who was tall and tall. It was hard to imagine him losing to Ji Ran.

Grandma sat on the sofa and held a cup of tea in her hand.

She didn't speak, she seemed to be shaking, Lu Wei and Chi Yaxu sat closer.

"Mom, let's not say that Chi Jin doesn't want to find a man. Let's take a step back and say that if you really like women, you should pick them carefully." Lu Weixun said: "Our Chi Jin is looking for a man, and the family is also the same. It doesn't make sense to find a woman, but anyone can do it, right?"

Grandma raised her eyes. There were many wrinkles around her eyes, but her eyes still had light.

"Really?" The tone was suspicious: "If you don't get together with Ranran today, you agree to find another woman as a partner?"

Lu Wei's eyes flickered slightly: "...D, of course."

Grandma just laughed, held the tea cup and blew slowly, and took a sip.

"You don't believe that yourself."

She put down the teacup, took a chestnut, shelled it with a chestnut magic tool, chewed it slowly, and said: "I don't know what happened when you first met, you just said how you are, but Wei Wei, You and Yaxu are not soft-tempered people. However, it is impossible to do something for no reason, why tell me?"

Chi Yaxu's old face was hot, and he sat beside him, his eyes wandering away.

Lu Wei opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Grandma peeled another chestnut: "Look, you can't say it yourself, so I won't ask."

"You only met Ranran once, and you didn't see all of Ranran. I like her a lot, the point is that I like her very much today."

"I'm getting older, and at this age, I feel that nothing is more important than my own comfort."

The day before New Year's Eve, Aunt Fang returned to her hometown as usual.

The next day, Chi Jin and Ji Ran went to grandma's house with many things to spend the New Year with her.

It's the Chinese New Year, and my grandma is in good spirits, and together with the two of them, they put up blessing characters at home, and Ji Ran specially bought a red lantern of just the right size and hung it next to the cabinet in the entrance.

Turn on the switch, the lanterns are red, reflecting the small world.The smell of the New Year came out in the room immediately.

Ji Ran cooked the New Year's Eve dinner, and Chi Jin helped her.

It was time to simmer and the soup was simmered, so Ji Ran brought a big bowl and poured some flour into it.

Chi Jin was surprised: "Can you still make pasta?"

Living together for so long, I have never seen Ji Ran make pasta.

Ji Ran was pouring water into the bowl while reading the notes on the open phone screen: "You said grandma likes to eat dumplings, and there must be a sense of ritual during the New Year."

"Would it be possible? It won't turn over, what about your name as a chef?" Chi Jin chuckled: "Pasta is not simple."

Ji Ran held the big bowl in one hand, and the other hand was covered with sticky flour, unable to free his hand, he pouted his buttocks and bumped Chi Jin.

"Hmph, just wait and see." She said proudly, "It's not difficult for me to learn anything."

While peeling the garlic, Chi Jin watched her knead the dough in a decent manner, and then covered it with plastic wrap.

"Wake up for half an hour."

Ji Ran handled ginger and garlic with her, half an hour passed quickly, Ji Ran washed his hands, the wrinkled dough before was very obedient under her palm, and it became smooth after a while.

"Look! Glossy!"

Although Chi Jin didn't understand, he felt that the smooth appearance was a bit believable, so he nodded: "Not bad."

The first time the dough was kneaded smoothly, Ji Ran was so excited that she went out with her mobile phone, sat next to her grandma, and opened a video.

An intellectual female voice came from the loudspeaker——

"Hi everyone, I'm Miss Gao. Today we're going to look at some practical ways to make dumplings."

Ji Ran said, "Grandma, here are sixteen ways to make dumplings. I'll make them for you whichever one you like!"

Grandma was shocked: "What? There are so many ways to wrap dumplings? There are so many ways to pay attention to them, just the conventional ones will do."

"Whatever you want, for Chinese New Year, something special, grandma—"

Acting coquettishly, Ji Ran took her grandma's arms, and said with a smile, "Grandma, you choose, choose one, or a few, I'm sure I can wrap it up for you."

Grandma was so heartbroken by her call that she chose one with a smile.

"Wait for me!"

Ji Ran rushed into the kitchen with his mobile phone.

Chi Jin in the kitchen laughed silently when he heard her sweet voice.

The dough is good, round and round, with a beautiful glossy surface.

Ji Ran took the dough and mobile phone to the living room dining table, set up the mobile phone and clicked on the video, learning the technique of rolling dumpling wrappers, slowly learning, scrapping a few pieces, and then there are decent dumpling wrappers.

Grandma exclaimed beside her: "This, is it your first time making dumplings?"

Ji Ran's natural eyebrows are raised upwards, and they are about to fly at this moment.

"Of course, grandma, I can learn everything quickly."

"It's almost the same as the dumpling skins made by your auntie." Grandma praised generously.

The two were making dumplings in the living room. Ji Ran clicked on the video and taught her grandma while learning: "Miss Gao said it was like this..."

Grandma was as serious as an 80-year-old elementary school student, and she couldn't help nodding.

After a while, Chi Jin came out from the kitchen: "I'll come too."

"Come quickly." Grandma waved her flour-smeared hands: "Make sun dumplings."

"Sun dumplings?"

Ji Ran raised his head, took a dumpling wrapper, wrapped it with kimchi meat, and showed her again: "That's it, look, just pinch the sides in."

It looks very simple.Chi Jin thought.

10 minutes later--

More than a dozen round sun dumplings made with compasses, and two or three dumplings that looked like a waning moon were put together.

The waning moon dumplings are almost as if the word "out of place" has been invisibly engraved on the dumpling skin.

Chi Jin's face was a little hot, she didn't understand, how could the dumpling wrapper, which was so obedient in Ji Ran's hand, start to rebel in her hand through the same process, and couldn't make the desired shape.

"Hey, you're so good today...you have to work harder." Grandma said with a smile, "I'll eat the buns later."

"Grandma." Unusual, Chi Jin whispered, "It's my first time doing it."

She picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper, silently thinking about Ji Ran's technique just now, and after wrapping it slowly, there was still a big gap compared with Ji Ran's, and she was a little discouraged: "I didn't wrap it well, grandma won't eat it, I'll eat it later What can I do if I can't finish it?"

"I eat."

Chi Jin slightly bent his lips: "Okay, I'll pack a few more."

Ji Ran said seriously: "It doesn't have to be like this."

Chi Jin: "..."

Grandma laughed beside me.

It's approaching zero.

Ginger Coke bubbles from the transparent glass teapot on the electric ceramic stove.

Grandma let out a big yawn.

Chi Jin said: "Go to sleep first, grandma, and you don't have to force yourself to watch the year. Going to bed early is also very important."

Grandma shook her head: "The countdown will start soon, and I can still do it. Is the Coke ready? I can refresh myself after a drink."

My grandma is very old. Although her blood sugar is in the normal range, the family has always controlled her usual sugar intake.

She is not allowed to drink carbohydrates and high-sugar drinks like Coke, and she is only allowed to drink a little during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, what grandma looks forward to most every year during the Chinese New Year is to drink some drinks that are not allowed to drink.

Ji Ran picked up the glass teapot and poured her a cup: "It's hot, be careful, let it dry."

"While waiting for Coke, it's just right."

Grandma took out two big red envelopes from the interlayer of the vest, and gave Ji Ran one first: "Of course, come, happy new year."

There is a beautiful dragon pattern on the red envelope, Ji Ran likes it very much: "Thank you grandma! Wow, I haven't received a red envelope for a long time."

After his father passed away, Ji Ran always spent New Year's Eve alone, and took turns spending it at friends' homes from the first day of the new year.

The elders of my friend naturally wanted to give her a red envelope, which was quite generous. Because of this, it was another form of funding in disguise.

Ji Ran didn't want any of them.

The other grandma gave Chi Jin.

Chi Jin took it in his hand, and the thickness was different from previous years.

Grandma looked at the two of them and said: "This year is different from before. I must give more. I have no other wish, but I just want you little ones to be happy every day."

Suddenly, there seemed to be a gentle male voice.

"I just want my daughter to be happy every day."

Ji Ran was slightly startled, her eyes were a little red, she quickly lowered her head, and wiped the corners of her eyes with the movement of receiving the red envelope.

"Ten, nine, eight..." On the TV, the actors busily stood up.

The host of the Spring Festival Gala started the countdown.

"Happy New Year!"

The night outside is very deep, the lights of thousands of houses are brightly lit, it is the New Year, and every family is reuniting.

Chi Jin raised his hand and gently stroked the corner of Ji Ran's eyes: "Happy New Year."

Ji Ran bent down and lay on Chi Jin's lap.

"I wish I could hear you say that every year in the future."

The author has something to say:

Will do.
