Chu Heng had just warmed up the wine, and the kitchen was also starting to bring out the dishes.
Braised carp, braised sea cucumber with green onions, fried shrimps, braised pork elbows, yellow braised mutton, pot-roasted pork and other delicious delicacies were served one after another, gradually covering the huge tabletop.
Yang Guizhi, Ni Yinghong and other eight female immortals showed their magical powers across the sea. Every dish they cooked was their best, and each dish was delicious and delicious.
Greedy Chu Qi and several other children gathered around the dining table, wanting to have a taste, but they didn't dare to step forward randomly due to the rules.
In the end, the little Huniu was so excited that she ran to her little brother Chu Zhecheng, grabbed the sparrow several times, and exchanged it with Chu Heng for three pieces of meat, so that the brothers and sisters were able to satisfy their craving.
"Hey, this little girl will definitely not be a fuel-efficient lamp when she grows up!"
The second aunt who witnessed the whole process laughed so hard that her stomach ached. She stretched out her slightly swollen hand and rubbed hard on Huniu's head. She really liked this ghost spirit from the bottom of her heart.
Little Huniu raised her head and smiled sweetly at her. Her little face was as oily as a tabby cat, filled with the purest joy in the world.
"It's better to be smart, so as not to be deceived by stupid boys when you grow up." Chu Heng picked up his goddaughter lovingly, and did not dislike her dirty face, and gave her a big pout.
"Giggle!"
The shallow stubble of the beard made Huniu's face itch, and she leaned her head back in his arms and smiled carefree.
Seeing the innocent look of this little guy, Chu Heng couldn't help but think of the daughter he had given birth to with Yu Haitang, and his mind couldn't help but drift away.
"The last dish, shredded sweet potatoes, is here for you."
At this moment, Ni Yinghong and the other girls, who had finally finished their work, came to the main room together. Qin Jingru was also holding a plate of freshly shredded sweet potatoes in her hands.
Chu Heng came to his senses immediately, quickly put Huniu down on the ground, turned around and went to the chair aside, picked up the firecrackers that had been prepared and walked out with Erqi: "Pour the wine on, pour the wine on, I'll put it on
After the firecrackers are over, let’s start the banquet!”
He quickly came to the patio, spread a hanging firecracker on the ground, took out a cigarette and lit one, ready to start setting off the firecrackers.
When the two dogs saw this, they immediately ran away in a panic with their tails between their legs. Chu Qi was playing with two kickers in the yard before, and Xiao Hei ran over and took a bite. The dog's mouth is still hurting now.
"Crack!"
Firecrackers exploded at this time, and bursts of white smoke rose in the courtyard, filling the courtyard with the smell of sulfur.
The flavor of the new year is instantly there.
The neighbors were either preparing or eating the New Year's Eve dinner. When they heard the noise, they immediately stopped and started talking with the people around them.
"Who is it? Whose family is setting off cannons? Didn't they say they are not allowed to do so?"
"What the hell is this? You are so brave!"
"Who else could it be? It's the Chu family next door. I've seen all of Forty-Nine City and I think his family is the only one who dares to do this."
"Tsk, what do you think Chu Suo does? Why doesn't anyone dare to take care of it?"
"Why not? Didn't a few boys break down the door last month?"
"It was smashed, but the person went there the day before, but the funeral took place the next day."
"Really or not?"
"Can I lie to you?"
Amid the discussion, Chu Heng, after setting off the firecrackers, lit a few more kicks before leaving the remaining half of his cigarette and returning to the house.
At this time, the adults and children in the main room had already taken their seats, the wine had been poured, and the sodas had been opened. He was just waiting for him.
"Come, come, sit here, madam."
When the deaf old lady saw him coming back, she quickly patted the empty seat next to her and said with a smile: "This is the New Year, we still have to set off firecrackers, it's festive!"
"well."
Chu Heng walked up quickly and sat down next to her. When he was about to suggest that the old lady should say a few words, the second uncle on the side rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "You kid, just play the zither.
Why would you cause trouble if you don’t even shoot off the cannons?”
"Can you please stop talking about it during the Chinese New Year?"
But Chu Heng didn't care much. He picked up the cup filled with warm rice wine in front of him with a smile, and encouraged the deaf old lady: "Madam, you are the eldest in our family. You have to say a few words to celebrate the New Year."
"Yes, yes, old lady, please say a few words."
"Hengzi is right."
Others also followed suit.
The deaf old lady had seen big storms, so naturally she was not fazed by this small scene. She picked up a small wine cup and looked at the family in front of them, who were not relatives, but were better than relatives, with smiles on their faces.
He picked up the flowers and said happily: "Okay, let me just say a few words. I wish you all a bright future and good luck in the new year. Cheers!"
"Dry!"
"cheers!"
The guys stood up happily, some carrying soda, some carrying red wine, and some carrying rice wine. They bumped together gently. Following the blessing of the old man Rui, they happily drank the drinks in their glasses.
Drink it all.
Even the little Huniu joined in the fun with a cup of boiling water.
"Whoa!"
Next to the Arhat bed, Chu Zhecheng, who was lying on the crib, looked curiously at the noisy group. Although he didn't understand what they were doing, they seemed to be having fun. He wanted to join in, but he couldn't escape the swaddle.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up and quietly blow bubbles and play by myself.
Over at the dining table, a large family was happily eating delicious food, chatting, and drinking wine. The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed. The small main room seemed to have become a small world isolated from the world, isolating all the worries from the outside world.
outer.
In this way, the time soon reached around seven o'clock, and the women and children, who had eaten and drank enough, got off the table one after another. Only Chu Heng and Chu Jianshe, the uncle and nephew, were still pushing cups and changing cups.
In fact, Chu Heng didn't want to drink for a long time. He was still thinking about finishing his work quickly so that he could go to Guo Kai's house to play cards. But the second uncle didn't know what happened today. He was very interested and pulled him to drink one cup after another. He could only endure it.
Accompany me thoughtfully.
I don’t know if Chu Jianshe was greedy for the drink or if he was really happy.
After drinking like this for almost half an hour, the rice wine in my uncle's stomach finally became stronger, his head began to feel dizzy, and his eyes began to wander. After two more glasses of wine, he fell on the table on the spot.
"Boom!"
"Hey, second uncle, second uncle!"
Chu Heng hurriedly helped him up. After calling a few times, he couldn't wake him up, so he could only helplessly move him to the Arhat's bed, cover him with a quilt, and let him slowly sober up.
Then he went to the deaf old lady's house, notified Qin Jingru and the others to clear the table, then hurriedly left the house and drove towards Guo Kai's house.
On the 30th, Sijiu City was very lively. Every household lit up lights. The whole city was brightly lit. The streets were full of naughty children running wildly. From time to time, they took out a pill from their pockets and opened it.
Firecrackers were thrown everywhere, filling the city with smoke.
Chu Heng drove the car all the way and soon arrived at Tongzilou where Guo Kai's family lived.
After parking the car downstairs, he rushed upstairs with a bag of fruit, and finally stopped outside Guo Kai's house and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
Soon Guo Kai came over to check on the door. When he saw him arriving late, he scolded him like his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes: "Why didn't you come here so early in the morning? Do you know how long we have been waiting for you?
Already?"
"Don't I have to finish my meal?" Chu Heng threw a bag of fruits to him and stepped into the house. After saying hello to Ge Erni, He Zishi and the others, he quickly set up the mahjong table and geared up.
He is ready to win back the three dollars he lost to his second aunt and the old lady during the day!
