Cheng Tianyuan answered two calls, checked the account books, and found that it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xue Ling must still be busy, and Xue Heng hasn't come back yet.
However, Xue Huan arrived with a large bag and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, my parents said that I will entrust you to me in the past few days! I am going to bother you again!"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at him and said: "There are so many things at home, why are you still spending money? Don't worry, I will feed you well these days."
Xue Huan explained: "These are New Year gifts given to employees by the hospital, and some are given by colleagues. Before my parents went to the South Island, they had emptied the house of all food, except for a few packets of biscuits. They were afraid they would spoil if left at home.
It's better to leave it to you, since I want to eat and drink here anyway."
Cheng Tianyuan went into the kitchen and spooned out a bowl of bone soup.
"It's cold outside, let's drink something to warm up first."
Xue Huan thanked him and took it.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The kitchen here is big and everything is complete, so my wife and I live across the street, but we eat and drink here. You come here for three meals these days, and you have something to eat at any time."
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Xue Huan thought for a while and said, "I have two packages of bacon here. I will send one package to Uncle Zheng and his family."
Cheng Tianyuan reminded: "I'll give you both packages. I have several packages at home!"
"Okay." Xue Huan finished the soup and went to Lao Zheng's house with the bacon.
After a while, he came back.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Are you leaving right after delivering the goods? You didn't take a break?"
Xue Huanjun blushed slightly and explained: "They have many families, so I can't stay too long."
At this time, the home phone rang!
Cheng Tianyuan wiped his hands and walked to answer the call.
Xue Huan took off his coat and sat in the living room eating peanuts.
Cheng Tianyuan nodded "Oh!" and said, "No problem! Ah Huan happened to come back, I asked him to pick up San Bo."
He put down the phone, frowned and whispered: "Ah Huan, just now Lingling called and said that the third uncle's two daughters-in-law had a quarrel in the morning. The third uncle was very annoyed and kicked them both out and locked himself in the small courtyard.
Here. Your cousin called Xue Ling and hoped that Third Uncle would accompany us to celebrate the New Year. He couldn't bear to spend New Year's Eve alone in the small courtyard. You go and pick up Third Uncle."
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Xue Huan clapped his hands and hurriedly stood up and put on his robe.
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and took his hand.
"It's very cold these days. There's no heating in the small courtyard. It's too cold where the old man lives. Why don't you ask Uncle San to collect some more clothes and live with you? We can also drive with you when we go to the old house to pay New Year's greetings or something like that.
With."
"Good idea!" Xue Huan nodded with a smile and left in a hurry.
Cheng Tianyuan is preparing New Year's Eve dinner at home.
Steam the prawns, steam the rice cakes as well, cut the braised goose into small pieces and put them together in the steamer.
The spring rolls are fried and put on the table.
He made another plate of horseshoes and put them on the table.
Thinking that Sanbo wanted to eat dumplings, he ran to the balcony to collect some vegetable dumplings, then came back and put them in the pot under the steamer.
Yesterday he made a lot of dumplings and followed the northerners' habit of hanging them out on the balcony to dry.
It's cold outside and the dumplings are hard, so they can only be cooked slowly in a pot.
Then kill the fish, cut the ginger, onion and garlic, add the sauce, and put the fish into the steamer.
Finally, he found a small kerosene stove in the kitchen and put it on it, put a small pot of bone soup on it, added mushrooms, corn, carrots and ribs, washed some vegetables and put them aside.
At this time, Xue Huan and San Bo came back.
San Bo didn't look very good, his face was red from the cold.
Xue Huan carried a bag of new year's goods and a small suitcase.
The third uncle smiled bitterly and said: "We are one old and one young. We were originally going to depend on each other, but I didn't expect that he had already come to seek refuge with you, so I had no choice but to come along."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly helped him in and said with a smile: "Welcome! Please come in, please come in!"
Xue Huan put the suitcase in the corner and explained: "After the New Year's Eve dinner, take the suitcase to my place later."
San Bo smelled the delicious food and finally showed a smile. He looked at the words "Fu" and window grilles on the window and recognized them all at once.
"Sister-in-law Wu cut this. Her craftsmanship is still so good!"
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I will paste the couplets at noon. Ah Huan, I also bought them for you, and they are all here. Here is the tape, I will accompany you to paste them, and the word 'Fu' is also posted on the door."
San Bo laughed and said, "Let's go together!"
With more people and more power, it only takes a few minutes to put them all together.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the sky that was starting to darken and said, "It's a little cold, let's all go back. When Lingling comes back, we'll start having a reunion dinner."
"No, there is still my brother!" Xue Huan said with a smile: "We can't forget him!"
Cheng Tianyuan also laughed and explained: "The TV station has to prepare for the New Year's Eve party. A Fang hasn't been able to rest for the past two days. A Heng naturally wants to eat with us. Don't worry, there are a lot of things. Let's go back to the house and wait."
The streets and alleys were filled with the sounds of "Happy New Year" and "The God of Wealth Is Here" sung by Shan You, which was festive and joyful.
Sanbo drank corn stewed pork ribs soup, watched TV, and listened to the songs in the mall downstairs. He couldn't help but smile: "Life is so good now! If you can have a full meal, you not only have something to watch, but also something to listen to."
!”
Xue Huan chuckled, "San Bo, don't eat too much, there will be good food and wine soon!"
Cheng Tianyuan was cutting shredded potatoes and looking out the window.
Suddenly, he saw the elevator door opening in the distance.
I saw Xue Heng supporting Xue Ling and limping over.
Cheng Tianyuan was startled, put down the knife in a hurry, and hurried out the door.
He didn't bother to put on his coat and asked as he ran: "What's going on? What's going on?! This is?!"
Xue Ling raised his head and gave a tired and wry smile.
"I fell down in the warehouse in the afternoon. Fortunately, I wasn't seriously injured. I just sprained my foot and it hurt a little."
Xue Heng said hurriedly: "Brother, don't worry. The wound has been compressed with hot and cold water. It should be fine."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly knelt down and carried Xue Ling on his back.
"It's cold outside, let's go home first."
Sanbo and Xue Huan were professionals after all, and they were busy checking Xue Ling's hands and feet.
"No, the bones are all fine. The ankle sprain is a bit serious. I need to rub it with medicinal wine quickly to prevent it from swelling too much."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly went to pour the medicinal wine.
Xue Ling leaned lazily on the sofa and explained with a wry smile: "The warehouse is being cleaned. I accidentally slipped and fell when I went to check it. Fortunately, there is no water in that place, otherwise I would have become a drowned rat!"
Seeing that she was dizzy, San Bo couldn't help but scolded her: "You didn't get enough rest and couldn't concentrate, that's why you fell."
"Hehe!" Xue Ling shrugged: "I really don't have time to get enough sleep! Third uncle, I haven't been able to go home for several days."
At the end of the year, there are a lot of things to be done, a lot of accounts to be corrected, and the bank has been run over and over again. The people below are urging money, and the people above are collecting accounts. They ignore the phone calls every day, and they are often woken up even when they go to bed at night.
San Bo sighed helplessly and hurriedly massaged her ankles.
Xue Ling endured the pain and hissed.
Cheng Tianyuan felt very distressed and whispered: "San Bo, please be gentle."
Sanbo smiled and said: "You have to rub it to open up the blood vessels, otherwise it will become more blocked and it will only become more swollen and harder to heal."
Xue Heng ate some fried corn and asked, "How long will it take? Are you already so hungry?"
"Okay." Sanbo wiped his hands and said with a smile: "Have a good rest at home these two days and try not to walk."
"Sister, you should be able to take a vacation, right?" Xue Huan asked: "Your health is important, so please take a break from work for the time being."
Xue Ling replied: "It can be put on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The clothing factory does not have to rush production like last year, and all holidays will be until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. There is Xiao Liu on duty at the New Era Media, and he has to go to work on the third day of the Lunar New Year. She can just watch, and I will
Don’t go out for a walk, wait until your legs are healed.”
