Chapter 149 New Year's Eve
On New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and festoons, and the sound of fireworks is one after another.
The Ning family's old house was bustling with people coming and going.
Everyone in the Ning family is a busy person, and it is rare to get together during the Chinese New Year.
Later, Grandpa Dafang gave everyone an order that everyone would go to get together when they had free time, but everyone had to come back for the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and no one was an exception.
Therefore, the most lively meal of the Ning family every year is the New Year's Eve dinner.
Half a month ago, the chefs of Ning's family called one by one, asking each little master what he wanted to eat this year.
The Ning family are not picky eaters, and everyone said that the kitchen arrangement is good.
The chef finally drew up a long menu, and went to "Yipinxiang" to ask Ning Lang himself, and finally finalized the menu.
In the past, Ning Lang was the head chef for the reunion dinner, but this year she said she couldn't leave, she prepared the ingredients, and the rest was cooked by the chef at home.
Even so, she still came to the old house early to help.
The weather is still a bit cold, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is very strong, which seems to have diluted the cold a lot.
She was overdressed, and after saying hello to her grandfather, parents, and elders, she took off her coat and went to the kitchen to direct.
Ning's mother squinted at her daughter's back, "A-Lang seems to have gotten a little fatter recently."
"You read it wrong, you said the same thing last time." Papa Ning said softly, "The face is still so thin, and the legs are still matchstick legs. We can't comment on the aesthetics of young people nowadays. With a thin figure like her, In the past, people would dislike it.”
Mother Ning's eyes moved slightly, as if she remembered something.
"By the way, I heard that Ah Fong has gotten very close to her these days, and it seems that it is not just a relationship between a subordinate and a superior."
Papa Ning just laughed and said nothing, drinking tea by himself.
After a while, Ning Rui walked in happily, "Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt! Happy New Year!"
Mother Ning chuckled lovingly, took out a red envelope and stuffed it for him.
"Find a good partner next year. Auntie is waiting for you to give you a red envelope."
According to the old tradition in Rongcheng, if the children do not have a family and start a business, the elders must give them red envelopes, regardless of their age.If you get married, you have to give red envelopes to the elders in turn.
Ning Rui chuckled, and said: "For the red envelopes from you and uncle, I have already made up my mind to be a bachelor for a few more years!"
"Naughty!" Ning's mother said softly, "By the way, I asked you to ask Ah Yuan to have a reunion dinner with him. Will he come?"
"Definitely." Ning Rui sat on the sofa, picked up a handful of melon seeds and licked, "Even if I don't call, he will come. He and A-Lang are almost inseparable now—hehe!"
I have known this pair of "enemies" for more than ten years, and the best state is not the two months of marriage, but the recent period.
Ning's mother chuckled and nodded, "He should go to the old house to find Lao Qing first. Let him come over for a reunion dinner and stay with us at night to watch the New Year."
"Don't worry!" Ning Rui raised his eyebrows while spitting out the melon seeds, "Your son-in-law will definitely arrive, I assure you."
Mother Ning nodded in satisfaction, turned around and drove away.
At this time, the old man Ning Gu stepped out with a cane. Although the old man was almost an octogenarian, he was still vigorous and vigorous.
Everyone stood up one after another, greeted him and surrounded him.
The old man glanced at all the juniors, and asked in a gentle voice, "Where's that girl, Ah Lang?"
Ning Rui quickly replied, "Grandpa, she is helping with the dishes in the big kitchen."
He hugged the old man's arm and acted like a baby: "Grandpa, you have to ask A-Lang first every time, so why can't you ask me first? No, I'm going to be jealous this time!"
