The spring thunder of a hundred thousand blasts rang for several minutes, causing the whole room to cover their ears.
The firecrackers stopped, and the family sat around the table and began to enjoy a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
The Xue family's reunion dinner is sumptuous, but there are not many dishes. However, the seven dishes and one soup are half less than the dishes of ordinary families.
However, in the view of a glutton like Xue Laosan, food is not expensive in quantity, but in quality. Just imagine, if a table of food is really served and you feel full, how can you gain appetite?
The dishes on their table all use the best ingredients, including truffles, deer breasts and other precious things, and combined with his cooking skills, this group New Year's dinner is simply out of this world.[
Not to mention anything else, no one said anything since the meal was served on the table. There were three people from Sumei. After they each tasted a chopstick, their hands kept moving, and their mouths couldn't move. One chopstick followed another,
He rushed it into his mouth as if he was snatching food, but no one moved the juice or red wine in the glass.
After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, the whole family gathered together and put away the dishes.
After completing the final work, with the help of the little guy, everyone started the Xue family's annual New Year's Eve program - playing poker.
This time Xue Xiang was working as a waiter, but his job was overtaken by the Sumei people.
Speaking of which, Su Meiren had no interest in playing poker. In her eyes, it was a chat game that was a waste of time and money. But by chance, when she saw the four brothers and sisters Xue Xiang playing to level up, she was immediately attracted to it.
, while Xue went to the toilet, he played a game on his behalf.
From then on, this generation completely replaced Xue Xiang. She squeezed herself into the slot and never came down.
A card game continued until 7:30 in the evening and still refused to end. Xue Laosan had set up the hot pot and prepared all the vegetables. Even after shouting three times, these gamblers still refused to end.
Finally, Xue Laosan simply stopped shouting, sat down in front of the sofa, picked up a chopstick of tender fat lamb, poured it into the soup pot, stuffed it into his mouth, and started eating.
As soon as he started, the four people at the table could no longer hold their nerve. After fighting for seven hours, they were already hungry. They could barely hold back when the pot was boiling and the aroma was wafting.
At this moment, Xue Laosan was dripping with juice after eating. There was a squeaking sound, and in an instant, greed was aroused, and the few gamblers naturally couldn't hold back any longer.
Ordinarily, during the Spring Festival in the north, people eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, but Xue Laosan is still willing to eat hot pot.
Put on a pot of lamb chops and stewed carrots. Thicken the soup, cut and washed vegetables of various colors, very finely sliced fatty beef, tender lamb, thin venison, and prawns. Place them next to the hot pot and eat immediately.
Fresh and delicious.
Of course, since it is the Chinese New Year for northerners, dumplings are still indispensable, but the dumplings Xue Xiang made were not cooked, but a plate of raw dumplings stuffed with three delicacies, cooked like vegetables.
Food.
The north wind outside the house is whistling. The snow is flying like goose feathers. It is freezing cold and there are several feet of snow. But the family inside is sitting around the fire, eating hot pot affectionately and watching
Television, is there anything more harmonious and beautiful than this?
Xue Xiang took a sip of wine and looked at Xiaoyi and the little guy who were competing for the boiled and floating dumplings. He was filled with warmth and said a silent blessing in his heart: I hope that at this night in my life, my relatives and loved ones will gather by the fireside!
After Xue Xiang said a congratulatory message, the little guy cheered, and a rich baritone voice suddenly came from the color TV.
"Dear viewers, on this joyful New Year's Eve, all the staff of CCTV wish you happiness in your family, all the best, and a happy Spring Festival. Tonight, our station will broadcast the Spring Festival Gala's cultural program for you through live broadcast. In order to
So that you can enjoy your favorite literary and artistic programs, we have installed four telephones on site for TV viewers in the capital to use on-demand programs. The numbers of these four telephones are..."
The person announcing the curtain on the TV was Zhao Zhongxiang, the famous CCTV host who would be familiar to the people of the Republic of China in later generations. Xue Xiang glanced at him, suddenly slapped his thigh, and exclaimed: "Isn't this the first Spring Festival Gala!"
In fact, what he said was a slip of the tongue, because at this moment, no one can guarantee that there will be a second Spring Festival Gala. After all, the ratings and social response have not been released yet.[
However, no one in the room full of people corrected his mistake, because no one heard what he said, but everyone was panicking and remembering the phone number of the on-demand station.
Watching the grand appearance of all the actors and actresses being held on TV, Xue Laosan suddenly felt a feeling of "what night is it today, where are you?"
Generally speaking, the first Spring Festival Gala of CCTV had a shabby and crude setting, and the program format was relatively simple, but the strong New Year atmosphere was something that later Spring Festival Galas could never achieve again.
In addition, for the first time, CCTV accompanied the people to celebrate New Year's Eve in the form of a literary evening. The novel performance format captured everyone's hearts at once.
Li Guyi's song "New Year's Greeting Song" officially kicked off the performance. The little guy and Xiaoyi banged the bowls and chopsticks and hummed in time with Li Guyi on the TV.
Speaking of which, the Xue family has had a TV set for several years, but Xue Laosan is no longer interested in watching other programs besides the news broadcast. He was fascinated by tonight's Spring Festival Gala.
Especially the cross talk of Ma Ji's "Universe Brand Cigarettes", even though he listened to it in later generations, and now watching it again, it still makes him laugh with joy.
At the end of another program, Jiang Kun suddenly came out and asked the audience to guess a crossword puzzle.
This charade game was already described in detail when Zhao Zhongxiang announced the curtain.
According to the regulations, as long as you guess the word puzzle correctly and send the answer in an envelope to the CCTV building on the first day of the first lunar month, which is tomorrow, the lucky viewer will receive a small gift.
At that time, when Zhao Zhongxiang said that there were small gifts, the little guy and Xiaoyi jumped up and said that what they cared about was not the gift, but the gift sent by CCTV in this novel way. If they really got a gift in the future, they would take it with them.
Showing it off everywhere in your hands is so dignified.
Therefore, at this moment, apart from grabbing the phone to call the Spring Festival Gala to request the program, the two of them were waiting to play the crossword puzzle game.
No, Jiang Kunfang reported the mystery of "widely united from top to bottom". The little guy and Xiao Yi immediately stopped making noise, tilted their heads and started thinking, and the other three brains also started spinning.
To elaborate, on the New Year's Eve of 1983 in the previous life, Xue Laosan was still hiding under the quilt in the orphanage and shivering with cold. I had never seen the Spring Festival Gala of that year, but I had browsed a few rave reviews online.
program.
Therefore, the mystery revealed by Jiang Kun at this moment is still novel to Xue Laosan.
Five minutes passed, and the little guy finally couldn't help but ask Xue Xiang for the answer. Xue Xiang looked at Xiao Yi, who shook his head with a grimace. Obviously, this kind of word-splitting puzzle was still too advanced for them.
On the other hand, Xiao Wan had a smile on his face early on, obviously he had gained something. When Xue Xiang asked, Xiao Wan really spit out the answer that was exactly what he had planned in his mind, which was the word "seat".
"Why is it just a seat?" the little guy asked anxiously, his face wrinkled.
The Sumerian laughed and said: "Think about the word 'zu'. The word 'zuo' in the prefix of the word 'zuo' is in the upper part, and the upper part is the word 'cong'. The word 'cong' falls on top of the word 'tu'.
;The lower part is 'Tu', and the word 'Tu' happens to be the lower part of the word 'Zhi'
, this is called Zhixia. In this way, the first half of the riddle is solved, and the second half of the riddle is "Guangwei Unity", which is to use the prefix "Guang" to "sitting" composed of "from top to bottom" to unite.
Together, the upper and lower riddles merge into one, isn't the answer to the riddle just the word 'seat'?"
Su Meiren and Xiaowan are both top students with extremely high IQs, so this literal game will not be a problem for them.
After the little guy got the answer to the riddle, he happily started writing on the paper. He was still talking about sending a letter for a while, and he was writing and writing. Suddenly he saw Xiaoyi staring at the TV without moving.
At this time, the little guy was annoyed, "Third brother, what are you doing? Why don't you do it? You don't want the gift, so don't think about robbing me again!" [
Xiaoyi hugged her arms and said enigmatically: "Look at what you said, you are too flattering to me. I dare to rob you? Besides, we are a family. You think CCTV is stupid. How many times do you write
Seal, how many gifts will they give you? I didn’t hear anyone say that it doesn’t count if the letter is sent, you have to be a lucky viewer to get the prize. What is a lucky viewer? This means that there is a lottery, and you are the winner.
Only if you receive a letter, you will have a gift!”
"What~!"
The little guy's little face fell instantly, his thin eyebrows bent at Xue Xiang, and he told Xue Xiang, "Brother, I want that gift!"
"It's easy to want a gift. If you mobilize the masses and write more letters, won't the probability of being chosen be greatly increased?"
Xue Xiang knew what the little guy meant, and she wanted him, the incompetent big brother, to do it for her.
But now, Xue Xiang will no longer be obedient. The little guy is no longer as old as a baby. He is about to enter junior high school. It is a critical period for the formation of three views. If he continues to be as responsive as before, he will have to treat the little annoying little one.
It cannot be refined into a parasite.
"But so many people are writing, and no matter how many letters I write, I may not be able to win!" The little guy was still unhappy, so he pulled Xue Xiang's thigh and shook it.
Xue Xiangdao: "How will you know the result if you don't work hard? Hurry up and get the letter paper. Your sister-in-law, second sister, and third brother and I will help you write it!"
When he said this, he had already made up his mind and turned around to say hello to the deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, his cheap uncle Zuo Qiuming, and the little guy's wish was granted. The reason why he wanted to let the little guy get his wish
, just want her little person to be rewarded after her first hard work, so that she can gain confidence after her hard work, in order to create a virtuous cycle.
Seeing that Xue Xiang has expressed his stance like this, the little guy can't keep pestering her. After all, she still has a sister-in-law here. Besides, she is getting older and knows the importance, but her little mind is still not happy.
The little mouth of the bottle, I went into the room to get the letter paper. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please come and read.)
