After eating the dumplings, Mrs. Ming cleaned up the dishes. Since there was something easy like a dishwasher, Xu Rongrong did not help Mrs. Ming wash the dishes, but only helped when putting away the leftovers.
As for the others, because they were all guests, the children were still young, and Zhan Yiyang was a man, they all went to play in the living room.
When Xu Rongrong wiped his hands and came to the living room, Ye Zi'an was playing cards with Min Shiyan, Ji Fanyi was playing chess with Zhan Yiyang, and the others either smiled and watched them play, or sat quietly and talked to the children.
Seeing how harmonious the scene was now, it was hard for Xu Rongrong to interrupt them, but there were some things that had to be done.
Thinking of this, she sighed, and then called everyone, "Stop, stop, stop, stop, now is not the time to play cards, today is New Year's Eve, do you feel anything is wrong at all?"
Everyone was silent in response to Xu Rongrong's betrayal.
In fact, it's not surprising that they didn't know what Xu Rongrong was referring to. After all, Ye Zi'an and Ji Fanyi had stayed abroad for so long, and they didn't need to take care of the New Year things when they were at home, so they didn't know what to do.
Gu Yixuan, on the other hand, squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, and finally looked around uncertainly, and then said hesitantly, "Isn't it because the dress is not festive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong laughed, and everyone knew that Gu Yixuan was right.
Ye Zi'an knew that her best friend would definitely not mention this for no reason, so she looked at Xu Rongrong curiously, "What is Rongrong going to do?"
Xu Rongrong looked at her with a smile, then turned around and called to Sister-in-law Ming who had already washed the dishes, "Sister-in-law Ming, let Uncle Ming bring the things in."
Sister-in-law Ming responded, turned around and called Uncle Ming twice.
Not long after, Uncle Ming came over carrying two big thick bags.
Because the bag was black, it was not clear what was inside, but Gu Yixuan had already guessed what was inside, so after Uncle Ming put the bag down, she stepped forward with a smile, looked at Xu Rongrong and said with a smile, "I
I guess there’s something like a lantern in here, right?”
Xu Rongrong glanced at Gu Yixuan in surprise. When she saw that Gu Yixuan's original reserved smile was mixed with a trace of pride, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
This Gu Yixuan actually has a hint of childishness.
"Well, I guessed it half right." Xu Rongrong is naturally not that easy to compromise, so she just glanced at Gu Yixuan and the people around her who were quiet, and said with a smile, "There are also some decorative items such as ribbons, I
I just thought of asking Uncle Ming to buy it today. I was too tired during the day so I forgot to hang it up. Now everyone is bored at night, so why not decorate the house together."
After saying that, she took the lead and bent down to open the big black bag on the left, and then took out six items that were similar to the closed umbrella. However, only one end of the umbrella was like that, while the two ends of the item in front of her were close together.
Xu Rongrong happily held the lantern and swung it around for a while. He tried to push the lantern open, but found that he couldn't do it.
Ye Zi'an glanced at her mockingly, then stood up and strode over, took the lanterns that were close together, studied them from left to right, then put one end on the ground, then held the upper head with both hands, and at the same time he moved back.
Two steps, and finally the body exerts a slight force.
With a "click", a round lantern stood on the ground, steady and steady, with a golden dragon pattern painted on the red translucent cloth, which seemed extremely appropriate during this New Year time.
"Here, Ji Fanyi, go hang it at the door." Ye Zi'an was not polite and directly clicked the two lanterns and threw them to Ji Fanyi.
Ji Fanyi took the two lanterns neatly and went to the gate.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Xu Rongrong stopped Ji Fanyi with a smile, and then took out a few thick and long red candles in front of everyone's puzzled eyes.
Ye Zi'an twitched the corner of his mouth, but had to admit that it would be better to light a candle.
"Bring it here." Xu Rongrong waved and called Ji Fanyi over, then took the lantern he was holding with one hand, then carefully placed the candle on the socket above, and finally asked for a lighter from Bai Sheng and lit the candle.
.
This candle is as thick as a baby's arm, but the wick is not particularly large. Although the brightness is not particularly strong, it should be able to withstand burning.
Xu Rongrong carefully lit two lanterns and asked Ji Fanyi to hang them at the gate. Ye Zi'an had already opened the other four lanterns.
Xu Rongrong lit the other four lanterns in the same way, and then asked Zhan Yiyang to take Min Shiyan to hang the lanterns.
Next to her, Gu Yixuan was already gathering up the ribbon, and then she glanced at the two red lights that had been hung at the door, and looked at Xu Rongrong with some confusion, "Rongrong, why did you buy six of them, except for these two doors?"
Is there still room to hang it?”
Xu Rongrong looked at her with a smile and explained to her, "There is also a separate door in the garage."
Gu Yixuan nodded, as if, "That's it", and then continued to lower her head to work on the ribbon.
At this time, the men had hung up lanterns and came over. Xu Rongrong felt that things should be put to their best use, so he opened another bag and took out some Chinese knots, ancient fans and other decorations inside, and then handed each of them thumbtacks.
A box, said. "Please put these things in appropriate places, and then you can also keep one or two in your bedroom."
The men looked down at the trinkets with a strong ancient charm that had been stuffed into their hands, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
At this time, Wen Shanshan came over and looked at them with a smile and said, "If you don't know where I am, just follow me. I will guide you and you can install it."
After saying that, he walked directly to the living room, pointed at the white wall and said, "Put the biggest one here."
She was referring to the rather large wintersweet picture framed in sandalwood and placed on the ground.
Min Shiyan, Ji Fanyi and Zhan Yiyang all had things in their hands. They were stunned for a moment and were about to put down the things in their hands. Bai Sheng stood up. He picked up the wintersweet picture that was not too heavy and smiled.
Say, "I'll do it."
Wen Shanshan was not polite and directly ordered him to hang the wintersweet picture on it.
Originally, a European-style oil painting was hung on this wall, but it was put away by Xu Rongrong yesterday. Now it is appropriate to directly hang this picture of wintersweet with strong ancient charm.
After hanging up the wintersweet picture, Bai Sheng also grabbed a handful of thumbtacks and a few Chinese knots and followed behind Wen Shanshan. She told them which places could be hung up, and several people divided their work to hang them up. For a while, everyone in the living room was confused.
It has become rarer.
At this time, Gu Yixuan also finished the ribbons. She scraped and curled the colorful ribbons, then cut them into different sizes, but most of them were relatively well-proportioned lengths. Then she and Ye Zi'an found a suitable place to hang them.
Especially at the door of each bedroom, they are hung on the left and right sides. Although it is a bit different from the European decoration style...but it is just for the sake of celebration.
As a result, there was almost no one in the bedroom except the children. Xu Rongrong lowered his head helplessly and sorted some small things.
Bai Yi was playing cards with Nian En. An Nuan watched with gusto. Tian Ning also watched with a straight face. Yue Xiu was still eating with gusto because he was young. Generally speaking, the children were very well behaved and did not come over.
Make rude requests.
It is said that there is strength in numbers, and within a short time, the whole room immediately changed its smell.
Although it is still decorated in a European style, with those festive little decorations hanging on it, people may feel that it is not harmonious at first glance, but Xu Rongrong took a closer look and was still satisfied.
You can't change the entire decoration style just to hang a few small things, not to mention that these small things are only hung for a few days to set off the Spring Festival atmosphere, and they will be taken down in a few days.
Thinking about it this way, she didn't worry too much about harmony and disharmony. Instead, she happily put away the two empty black bags.
The people who went to hang things had already returned to the hall. Seeing that everyone was a little bored, Xu Rongrong turned on the TV.
At this time, the Spring Festival Gala has been on for a long time. Before the meal, the children were closed to let them concentrate on eating. Later, they hung up small trinkets. Now that everything has settled down, Xu Rongrong turned on the TV series. There was a heater in the room and it was not cold.] Many friends or
It's very lively to sit snuggled or spread out on the sofa or chairs.
Xu Rongrong saw that everyone had taken their seats. Although the Spring Festival Gala may not have anything attractive, a few years ago, when the adults in this group were children, they would cuddle up with their families and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
So although everyone is not very interested in the program, they are still watching TV seriously.
Well, except for one Min Yuexiu who was eating crystal dumplings.
Xu Rongrong glanced at the snack vendor Min Yuexiu and the empty small coffee table. She frowned, stood up and quickly went to the kitchen and took out several bags.
Because Zhan Yiyang was sitting in the middle of the sofa, Xu Rongrong was naturally next to him. Whenever he went out, he had to stand up and affect some people's sight when leaving the middle position of the sofa. So when Xu Rongrong came over with a few bags,
Still very eye-catching.
But before anyone could ask, Xu Rongrong opened the bag first, and a scent of melon seeds came out.
It turned out to be some melon seeds, peanuts, and dried fruits.
In order to take care of Ye Ye'an's taste, Xu Rongrong even bought some puffed food and some dried meat.
When they saw the food, Min Yuexiu was the first to laugh. Then everyone was not polite and rushed over to grab what they liked.
You gave me a handful, and a big bag of melon seeds suddenly lost half of it. The corner of Xu Rongrong's mouth twitched. Fortunately, she bought two bags and waited until this bag was finished before going to get the other bag.
