February 18th is New Year’s Eve, and February 19th is New Year’s Day.
This is the latest New Year that Xia Yu remembers. According to teacher Yong Xia, the last time was in 1996 and 19th.
Xia Yu and the others spent the New Year in a low-key manner this year, but it was also very lively. Mr. Zhuang and his family of three, Xia Yu’s family of five, Tao’s family of three, plus Dai Chengbi’s father and daughter, more than a dozen people celebrated the New Year in Taoyuan.
.
It's not that Dai Chengbi and his daughter don't want to go back to their hometown, the problem is that when Song Xi is having the Spring Festival Gala tonight, he has to wait until the first day of the new year before running away!
Although it is said that the oldest Mr. Tao can be the grandpa of Xia Yu, except for Xia Yu, you and Xia Yi also call him, "Grandpa of the two old men of Tao Zhuang". This generational hierarchy is a bit confusing, but to sum it up, that's it.
Dai Jia, who came in with me, could barely say the same thing, "four generations live under one roof"!
Although they are not really from the same family, this relationship can be regarded as acquiescence.
Those who organize the New Year's Eve dinner are still the "first group", Comrade Xia Dongfeng and Teacher Yong Xia.
Wen Sui was not here this year, so she just gave way to the video. Seeing this group of people, she felt sad.
"If I had known it, I wouldn't have gone back to the magical city!" Young Gongju, who had gone to the countryside for half a month, not only did not look dark, but had turned several degrees whiter, he had a sad look on his face.
I turned around and saw the other side of the video lens.
Chairman Fei Yangfei glanced sideways at her, frightened her, and said quickly.
"Hey, hey, hey, you talk about the situation, look at you, uncle, you don't understand the world at all!"
It made Xia Yu and the others laugh so hard.
Through the video, Mr. Zhuang also rarely greeted Chairman Fei and chatted for a few words.
The dispute between Great Wall Film and Television and Pearl Century? That’s your business, I don’t care about it.
But while he admired Fei Yang, he couldn't stand his 800-year-old mentality, so he just gave up with a few polite words.
The video didn't end until Wen Sui's car entered a mysterious place and died.
"I'll fly to the Imperial Capital tomorrow afternoon!" He said reluctantly before putting down the phone.
For the New Year's Eve dinner, Comrade Xia Dongfeng and Teacher Yong Xia spent the whole day cooking up eighteen dishes, which symbolize the long-lasting "family".
Mainly Comrade Lao Xia and Teacher Yong Xia helped with the beating.
For this dish, Comrade Xia Dongfeng has been thinking about it all winter vacation, creating a feast for his taste buds!
The two old men in Taozhuang were full of praise, "...the craftsmanship has improved again, and when I retire, I can really open a restaurant!"
Comrade Lao Xia cooks as a hobby, and also to enjoy the appreciation of others.
From the looks of it, he just looked like, "It's no big deal."
But he probably didn't even know that the smile on his face was several times more than usual.
The Spring Festival Gala started at eight o'clock. Because of Song Xi's classical dance performance, the whole family gathered around the living room. After all, we may not get together a few times throughout the year, and it was also the New Year. The two old men of Tao Zhuang also said that they would not be able to get together without a phone call.
Stop answering, stop calling!
Let’s all turn off our phones and have a good New Year—at least no phone calls are allowed before twelve o’clock.
Song Xi's program is not the finale, nor is it the focus before the opening, but it is also placed in the prime time period of 8:30 -
As soon as the entire Song Xi Dance Troupe appeared, the whole audience was amazed. After all, the Song Xi Dance Troupe, regardless of gender, appearance, figure, and temperament, is first-rate. Every dancer is an absolute elite. The song "
"Go Back Come" has reached a new level of beauty!
Let China once again feel the charm of orthodox Chinese classical dance. As the lead dancer, Song Xi had no doubts and once again became a hot search.
Dai Chengbi didn't rush to pick him up. Song Xi couldn't get out at once, and the main station was only two streets away from Taoyuan. It only took ten minutes to drive. He could wait until twelve o'clock and go there in time - he couldn't get out easily.
Now that I'm free, I hold my daughter in my arms and won't let go.
He still eats rice, mainly because he wants to make sure his daughter's rice is mushy and nutritious.
This meal lasted from seven o'clock to nine o'clock. The three Tao Zhuang and Xia families usually ate without talking or sleeping, but it was different during the New Year.
Chatting while eating, not only around Xia Yu, but also around the crew of "Trafficking Crime", there were many topics to talk about.
Even Meng Dong was talked about with great concern by everyone about the house issue. But this time, she was finally able to stand up and said, "When the filming is over, I will be able to collect enough for the down payment and look at a house."
Not big, fifty square meters!”
Compared to the first one or two years after she came here, she is much more calm and confident now. She earned every penny of the money herself. The house is fifty square meters. She will not feel inferior. She also knows that no one here will.
Look down on her because of this!
But as I talked, I couldn't help but feel sore eyes, and finally said, "...Thank you very much for everyone's care in the past few years!"
Yu Heng quickly wiped her tears, but he was also very distressed. He changed his tone and teased her, "Then you will be grateful in the future. From now on, we will all be a 'family'. I will take care of you now. When we get older, you will
You have to come back and take care of us!"
"Okay!" She nodded vigorously.
Finally, it came to Tao Zhang. After all, he was the oldest among them. He looked like he was thirty, but he was in his early forties.
"It's time... to focus on family!"
It's not like the two old men in Taozhuang told her that someone has to take over a family business as big as the Tao family's. This is inheritance.
Being born into this kind of family and enjoying the conveniences of the Tao family for decades... inevitably requires some personal sacrifices.
Mr. Tao didn't say anything. Mr. Zhuang pointed at brother Tao Zhang and Tao Tang, "At least one person must take up this responsibility!"
You, Tao Zhang, can have a child without getting married, or Tao Tang can have a child named Tao!
We didn’t talk too deeply about this topic. If we talked about it too deeply, it would be easy to break up unhappy, so the old man stopped talking about it.
We finished eating at nine o'clock. The table was cleared by Xia Yu and several young people, and the bowls were washed by Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling together——
After-dinner desserts and fruits have already been prepared, just serve them.
How can I describe the whole New Year atmosphere in Taoyuan? It’s very strong. It’s obviously not a real family, but when we are together, we feel much better than a real family. Everyone loves this kind of New Year celebration from the bottom of their hearts.
Feel.
There was no idle time after the meal. A dozen people, men, women, old and young, gathered together at three tables, which was enough.
The three old men and one old Comrade Xia went to a corner of the living room to play mahjong.
Xia Yu, Zhuang Ling, Tao Zhang, and Meng Dong were playing cards and leveling up on the sidelines, while Xia Yi and Tao Tang just watched and made blind ideas.
Meng Dong occasionally picked up his camera and took pictures. Of course, a camera had already been set up in the corner to take New Year videos - everyone had the same idea. It is rare to get together for one year. These memories will be remembered a few years and more than ten years later.
Very good memories~
At about twelve o'clock, the "family" turned their attention to the Spring Festival Gala program again——
When twelve o'clock arrived, Dai Chengbi hurriedly carried his daughter to pick up his wife.
At 12:30, the "family" arrived, and we took a serious "family photo!"
In the end, excluding the five elders, Mr. and Mrs. Dai, and Meng Dong, the remaining people, starting from Tao Zhang, kowtowed to the elders one by one.
Finally, it was Dai Jia's turn to kowtow to Xia Yu. After one round, the little girl almost fainted.
But the little girl seemed to know what the thick red envelope in her hand was. As soon as she got it, she burst into laughter and couldn't stop it!
