Chapter 269 I have to go to work this time next year
After getting along with each other all day today, they already knew that the second sister's family was celebrating the New Year with Zhao Huanyu's family. What he was thinking was that Zhao Huanyu was rich now and was not very good at giving anything as a gift, so he wanted to go to the mountains to hunt some game and give it to
There is an extra dish for their New Year’s Eve dinner.
Mrs. Yuan Zhang said: "It's better not to go. We will keep their kindness in mind and pay it back slowly when we have the opportunity in the future. The weather is so bad, I really don't trust you to go up the mountain."
"Hey, it's nothing. Haven't you been there before? Don't worry."
The elder statesman disagreed. He felt that as long as he did not go into the mountains, he would not be in danger.
But his wife obviously didn't think so, her face immediately turned serious, and she said: "I'm telling you seriously, the situation at home is like this, my mother's illness has not been cured, and several children are still waiting for you to worry about. If you get out of
What's the matter, what do you want me to do?"
As she said that, she looked like she was about to cry. The elder brother knew that she was really angry and immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, I won't go. Don't be angry. It's getting late. Go to bed first."
."
In fact, the elder brother really wanted to go, but as the eldest son of the family, he couldn't come up with anything in return, so he felt really guilty.
But his wife had said so, and he couldn't help but listen, so he could only suppress his thoughts.
In the next two days, Zhao Huanyu would go to Yuan's house every morning to give Mrs. Yuan an injection, but she did not stay at Yuan's house for dinner like the first day.
It's not that she has any objections to the Yuan family, she just doesn't want Ji Mingxuan to wait too long, and it's very fast to inject the old lady with acupuncture, so she doesn't have to wait until dinner time, not to mention that the family is preparing Chinese New Year ingredients these days, and the Yuan family and
She was not here, so only her father and grandma were busy with a group of children. The ordinary dishes were fine, but the big dishes that Zhao Huanyu wanted to make were difficult to make, and she still had to do it herself.
After explaining clearly to the Yuan family, Zhao Huanyu went back to her home to get busy, and in a blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.
Yuanshi did not go back to her parents' house that day, but helped Zhao Huanyu prepare the final ingredients.
The little kids helped together at first, and then they played in the yard when they had nothing to do. Fu Yuan helped Zhao Dagui and Zhao Dafu hang red lanterns. Everyone talked and laughed, and the whole yard was filled with laughter and laughter, full of Chinese New Year flavor.
After all the food was served, Zhao Huanyu shouted, and Zhao Dafu took a group of children to set off firecrackers at the door.
It is a custom to set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. On this day, even very poor families will buy as many firecrackers as possible to set off, which means to drive away evil spirits and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the children's screams and laughter were mixed together. Xiao Tiedou and the others took the lead in reciting verses to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The children's voices were sweet and beautiful, attracting many children around them.
But Xiao Tiedou and the others did not stay outside for too long, because Zhao Huanyu had already shouted for dinner.
The Zhao family's living standard has improved significantly in the past six months. The food on the table is usually good enough, but tonight, New Year's Eve, it is unprecedentedly rich.
There were many dishes that no one had heard of, and even Ji Mingxuan had never seen them, but they watched Zhao Huanyu cook them all, and they had to admire her excellent cooking skills.
Everyone had a hearty meal, and then Zhao Dagui and Zhao Dafu were responsible for clearing away the dishes.
This is the latest rule set by Mrs. Gao. She thinks that women are busy in the kitchen all year round, but men don't care about anything, so during the New Year days, men will be busy.
Although Zhao Dafu was responsible for the family's food for a while, Gao still classified him into the team of men who did not cook, so when everyone was warming up in the main room and talking and laughing, the two brothers were in the kitchen
Work hard.
Ji Mingxuan and Fu Yuan were going to help, but they were stopped by Mr. Gao. The reason was: "You are just a guest now, and there is no reason to help in the kitchen. When you become one of our own, then even if you don't want to
If you go, you have to go."
Gao makes a clear distinction between these aspects. Although she is very optimistic about Ji Mingxuan now, she will not really regard Ji Mingxuan as one of her own until the marriage between the two is finalized. After all, he is a noble son of a wealthy family. Before,
I have never done these things before, and I cannot ask others to do things as I should.
Not only was Ji Mingxuan not angry when he heard such words, but he was also very happy, because he knew that Mr. Gao valued this matter very much, otherwise he would not be so serious.
He immediately replied: "Don't worry, grandma, I will have to go to work this time next year."
This was a definite answer for Mr. Gao. Although he had said it before, Mr. Gao was still a little unsure. Now he would say it again to strengthen his impression, and it would be much more convenient for him to propose marriage.
Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the meaning of his words. She smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. What she wanted was such an accurate belief. After all, she was reluctant to let her granddaughter suffer.
Zhao Huanyu was sitting next to her, her cheeks slightly red, but fortunately she had known for a long time that Ji Mingxuan would propose marriage to her after the Chinese New Year, so she was mentally prepared, and now she was not so at a loss when it came to serious matters.
Old Man Ding said: "Speaking of which, you want to ask me to be a matchmaker. Is it appropriate for a grown man like me to be the matchmaker?"
He suddenly spoke, and Mrs. Gao next to her opened her eyes wide.
Zhao Huanyu also looked at Ji Mingxuan in disbelief, but soon understood why Ji Mingxuan asked Old Man Ding to be a matchmaker.
First, both his parents died and there were no elders in the family.
Secondly, Old Man Ding is the only older person around him, and he has been taking care of his body for so many years, and has indirectly saved him many times, so he can be regarded as half a father.
Finally, and most importantly, it was originally arranged that Ji Mingxuan came to Zhao Huanyu for treatment, and it was recommended by Old Man Ding, who was also the matchmaker. Looking at it this way, everything seemed to be excusable.
Ji Mingxuan glanced at him indifferently. Although this was not a secret, when Old Man Ding said it in front of everyone, the feeling of surprise was gone in an instant, and he suddenly regretted asking him to be a matchmaker.
Before Ji Mingxuan opened his mouth, Mrs. Gao said: "I think it's good. You two met because of Dr. Ding, and Dr. Ding is Xiaoyu's master. There are many twists and turns, but you are still destined to come together.
This is a great fate, and Dr. Ding is the most suitable person to be the matchmaker."
"Hey, my old sister can still talk! Okay, then I'm determined to be the matchmaker!"
Old Man Ding knew in his heart that it was not because of him that they knew each other, but the Zhao family would not believe this kind of thing, so he could only leave them a white lie.
