Return To 1977 Chapter 255: New Year’s Eve dinner

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

After the Hong family finished making dumplings, Old Ding and his wife also came to look for their granddaughter, because it was time for their family to make dumplings.

But Ling'er was obsessed with the Hong family's candies and mixed food at this time, and she didn't want to go home.

But it doesn't matter, Wang Yunlin asked Hong Yanwu to quickly pack half a catty of mixed snacks and half a catty of high-end candies, and asked Ling'er to take them to the family to eat. The little girl immediately became obedient.

Old Ding's wife is a little embarrassed because the Ding family has the least annual gifts every year.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu was eloquent and said that only the Ding family and the Hong family had children in the entire courtyard. These two children were the children of the entire courtyard, so there was no need to be polite.

A few words resolved Aunt Ding's embarrassment, and the old lady thanked her happily. Meizi'er picked up her things and took Ling'er to her house.

By now it was getting dark, and Wang Yunlin gave another order, and the Hong family turned on all the lights in each house. This is also the rule. The lights are on all night long without interruption.

As the Hong family’s kitchen begins to officially practice, the aroma of the family’s stir-fry vegetables and stews fills the courtyard. At the same time, I can hear the neighbors stamping their dumpling fillings, and the scattered firecrackers coming from outside. The sound and the New Year atmosphere immediately spread in the air.

Another hour later, the long-awaited New Year’s Eve dinner was finally served to the table.

Different from the similar contents of most families at that time, the specifications of the Hong family's reunion dinner were absolutely top-notch.

Because this time the New Year’s dishes are both in terms of quantity and quality.

In terms of side dishes, the average family can only feed two or three people at most. But the Hong family has six dishes: "Pork skin jelly", "Small crispy fish", "Fried salty assorted vegetables", "Mustard dumplings", "Black bean curd", and "Hawthorn mixed with cabbage heart", which is twice as many as other restaurants. . It can be said that the "case-watching fruit plate" that is unique to Beijing has basically all the ingredients in terms of taste.

The only thing that makes people feel a little regretful is that the hawthorn fruit is not very interesting and needs to be replaced with a better quality quince (an ancient and rare fruit tree whose fruit is a small red fruit that can be made into candied fruit. It is now extinct. , in the past, it was often misunderstood because of its similar shape to hawthorn, but the price and quality are not comparable to hawthorn.) Then it is praised.

The difference in the main course is even more obvious. Others make rice noodles and pork, but they cannot make braised pork. In addition, they can only make fried tofu balls, braised hairtail fish, and braised chicken nuggets. That's amazing.

But as for the Hong family, this year they are rich in pork because they don’t have minced meat. There are also live chickens, seafood, leg of lamb from Bianjia, silver carp and pheasant from "Xiaobaizi".

With such a wealth of materials, it will be really lively. Wang Yunlin tried her best and used all her methods.

The last ones served were "Rice Vermicelli Pork", "Vinegar Braised Pork", "Steamed Meatballs", "Vegetarian Osmanthus", "Steamed Fish", "Stewed Chicken", "Stewed Sea Cucumber", "Stir-fried Mutton with Scallions", "Braised pork ribs", "Homestyle hairtail fish", "Stir-fried pheasant roe with pickled melon dices", "Prawns and scallops braised with cabbage". There are twelve main dishes, plus a sweet "eight-treasure rice" that replaces rice cakes.

There was no room for the Eight Immortals table, so I had to temporarily move the folding table from Hong Yanzheng’s house and piece it together.

Such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was certainly beyond everyone's expectations and made everyone in the Hong family overjoyed. After sitting down around the table, except for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who could remember to pour wine for everyone, no one else could pay attention. They all looked at these dishes with great interest and whispered to each other in admiration.

Because there are many dishes, especially seafood dishes, that they have never seen before.

Wang Yunlin looked at this scene with both joy and sadness.

She knew very well that since the collapse of the Hong family, the children of the Hong family had never had a good life. They had eaten and seen too little. Her children are actually no different from children from poor families.

Fortunately, thanks to the help of Lao San and Quanzi, I had a decent year this year. Otherwise, even if she could do it again, she wouldn't have had so much material in the past, right?

Hong Lucheng has similar thoughts to Wang Yunlin. No one expected that when the wine glass was filled in front of everyone, the first thing the old man said when he picked up the wine glass was, "This year's Chinese New Year is extraordinary. Everyone in our family is finally reunited. What a joy! But with this opportunity, On behalf of the whole family, I must first express my gratitude to the third child, Hequanzi..."

Speaking of this, Hong Lucheng gazed at Hong Yanwu’s face with gentle eyes and said word by word, “Without you, there would be no sumptuous reunion dinner in our family. Without you, there would be no harmony in our family now. The prosperous scene is because you went to Liaodong to save my life. It was not easy to work hard for nearly a year..."

The whole family was stunned. Wang Yunlin even wiped away tears with deep emotion.

Because everyone can hear that Hong Lucheng's tone was a little uncontrollable and excited at the end. This clearly means that this head of the family, who has always been reserved and reserved, is one of the few who is really emotional! Thousands of words of love and affection are all contained in this last sentence.

Of course, Hong Yanwu was far more surprised than everyone else. His father had never affirmed him in public. This not only meant that his father no longer held any grudge against him, but it was also the first time that he realized that he and his father could have been so close. After all, they were father and son, and close relatives by blood. ……

In short, Hong Yanwu suddenly became more aware of family affection, and his whole body felt like it was being boiled by fire. So on the spot, he stood up in a panic.

Wait until Chen Liquan wakes up and stands up. Both of them raised their glasses and leaned over one after another, "Thank you, Dad..."

There is no need to say anything more, the deep affection between father and son was drank up by the three of them!

However, after drinking this glass of wine, the atmosphere became a bit sad, which was really inappropriate on this day.

Fortunately, the other family members woke up quickly and worked together to lighten the mood.

Hong Yan fought to be the first to mobilize. "Okay, it's all a happy event. Our family should be happy. How about we have one together..."

Hong Yanwen followed closely. "That's right, don't forget us. Let's welcome the third child and Quanzi home together. I also wish my parents good health..."

Even Xu Manli and Hong Yanru also persuaded Wang Yunlin. "Mom, don't be like this, it's Chinese New Year..."

In the end, it was Hong Jun who started making trouble. "There's me, there's me! I'm here to wish my grandparents good health!"

After he finished speaking, he stood on the chair, picked up the wine glass in front of his father, and then imitated an adult and started to drink.

Thanks to Hong Yan's sharp eyesight, he quickly snatched it. Then he slapped him on the head.

"Hey, you're fooling around! If you drink this drink, you'll have to sleep for at least a year!"

"Hahaha..."

The child is indeed the happy bean of the family, making everyone in the room laugh. And the joy of New Year and reunion finally returned to the Hong family’s dining table...

New Year’s Eve is not only for the Hong family, but also for the people of the whole country.

Before the Hong family's reunion dinner, the sound of firecrackers was sparse at first, and then became more intense. Now, even if you don't leave home, you can still see the flickering lights on the horizon.

This is enough to show that on such a night and at such a time, there are countless families and countless people like the Hong family, full of good wishes and passion for living a good life.

But we must also know that life will not be exactly the same template after all. Some families and some people have their own unique joys and sorrows in the same beautiful life passage.

Only they themselves can know the specific taste.

Room 302, Unit 2, Building 2, Pingyuanli, Xuanwu District.

At the dining table in the living room, Chang Xianzhang and Gu Lingye chatted while making dumplings stuffed with three kinds of fresh food. They talked about the latest gossip.

Chang Xianzhang couldn't help but sigh, saying that it was a pity that he was too old and had passed the age limit. Otherwise, if he were a few years younger, he would definitely be able to pass the exam. If that were the case, their situation would definitely be much better than now.

At this point, the two looked at each other and fell silent again. Because when it comes to time, when they face each other's aging faces, they can't help but think of a line in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "It's been eight years, don't mention it!"

Yes, the extremely poignant and shocking words "It's been eight years, don't mention it" from the Orion boss Chang in the Peking Opera cannot help but make them feel bitter in their hearts.

They have been separated for a full eight years. I dare to ask why the sky is so unfair to them, why they have been victorious in the eight-year war of resistance, but they are the only ones who are still struggling in this world. Even though they are deeply in love, they have not yet been together. Getting married?

The person who felt most indebted to the other party was naturally Chang Xianzhang. He suddenly thought of what Hong Yanwu had said to him. In a state of excitement, he finally revealed what was in his heart that he had not dared to speak for eight years.

"Ling Ye, our affairs can't be delayed any longer. You know my situation best. I don't know when my family's problems will be solved. Maybe I can only be a temporary worker for a few years. If you Choosing me as your life partner will be a tragedy for you, but I don't want to hesitate anymore. I have to say that I can't live without you. You are already the most important person in my life. Let me ask you, have you really thought it through? ”

Caught off guard, Gu Lingye was really shocked when she suddenly heard Chang Xianzhang's serious confession, but she was smart and understood what he meant immediately.

So, she blushed and said, "Do you still have to ask? I'll beg for food with you."

Yes, do you still need to ask? A girl's family can do this, who can't be touched? With such a girl as your lifelong partner, you will have no regrets in this life!

Chang Xianzhang was so excited that he completely forgot about the flour in his hands and took Gu Lingye into his arms.

While enjoying the taste of love, he also truly had the courage to go hand in hand with the other person and face the future together...
