After the invitations were sent out, it was New Year's Eve. As the saying goes, everything was ready, just waiting for the opening. Zhou Zhengling called again and asked Feng Nan to go home for a New Year's Eve dinner. When Feng Nan answered the phone, she was in the teahouse with Wu Juan
After checking the account, she casually asked Wu Juan where she was going to celebrate the New Year. Wu Juan said: "What kind of New Year will I celebrate? I have to help you watch the event."
Although the transaction must be watched by someone, Feng Nan never mentioned Wu Juan about her family, including the big incident that happened to her last time, and she did not say she saw anyone from her family. But except for Sun Wukong, there is no one in her family.
Who else jumped out of the cracks in the rocks? It’s just that he saw that Wu Juan was unwilling to tell, so he didn’t ask. But it was indeed a bit desolate. He went back to Zhou Zhengling’s place to spend the New Year. Lao Bao and his wife had their son to accompany them, so Wu Juan
It was not a problem for Juan to guard the teahouse by herself, so Feng Nan discussed with Zhou Zhengling whether they could celebrate the New Year in the teahouse and invite Lao Bao and his wife to join them so that they could have a New Year's dinner together and play cards afterward.
It's like warming up your own place.
Zhou Zhengling was reluctant at first. She actually preferred to be alone with Feng Nan now. Zhou Junling and her yellow-haired boyfriend were going back to their hometown and would not come to her sister. But what Feng Nan said was reasonable. She
I had to agree.
The next day was the New Year's Eve. After Zhou Zhengling had lunch, she called Feng Nan and asked him to help move the materials for the reunion dinner to the teahouse. Feng Nan came over and saw two big bags.
He smiled and said, "How can I finish eating so much?"
Zhou Zhengling said: "There are so many people, are you worried that you won't be able to finish the meal? Stop talking nonsense! Move quickly!" As she said this, she supervised Feng Nan to put everything on the way. She hugged her son and followed behind.
Neighbors who came to the community all wished each other happy New Year. Some of the loud-mouthed ones even asked: "Are you guys going out to celebrate the New Year?"
Zhou Zhengling replied rather proudly: "Haha, I opened a teahouse, it's spacious there."
What’s more, the newly moved person who didn’t know it said without knowing the meaning: “Look at these two couples, they are a perfect match.”
Immediately someone nearby who knew something quickly corrected him: "Don't talk nonsense, they are mother and son..."
This sentence was surprising, and it led to another piece of gossip. Zhou Zhengling turned a deaf ear to these words, neither admitting nor explaining, and let everyone talk. To be honest, some misunderstandings are quite useful.
Feng Nan didn't even want to explain, saying it over and over again was quite annoying.
When they arrived at the teahouse, Lao Bao and his wife had already arrived early. Mrs. Bao was busy in the kitchen, and Lao Bao was taking action. When Zhou Zhengling saw this, she asked Feng Nan to carry everything into the kitchen, while Wu Juan came to pick up Xiao Bai and play with her.
Zhou Zhengling took the opportunity to take off her coat, threw it on the sofa aside, and went into the kitchen to help with a smile. In this way, Lao Bao was liberated. When Feng Nan put everything in the kitchen, she and Lao Bao
Bao Xiaolong and Wu Juan came out to watch TV and chat together. The 50-inch wall-mounted LCD TV in the hall was specially prepared for the fans. It was really fun to watch, so Bao Xiaolong and Wu Juan also came over with Xiao Bai in their arms, and the four of them chatted enthusiastically together.
I was happy again, and it really felt a bit like the New Year. But not long after, Mrs. Bao and Zhou Zhengling came out of the kitchen. Seeing that they were chatting happily, Zhou Zhengling said: "Oh, things are pretty busy inside."
Come on, everything that should be stewed is being stewed. Dinner will be served at six o'clock on time. Let's have two now?"
Wu Juan smiled and said, "No problem. To be honest, I've been busy these days and my hands are itchy."
In fact, Mrs. Bao is usually easy to touch, but she is afraid of losing money. She has seen Wu Juan's methods before, so she is a little hesitant. Lao Bao is eager to try it. Feng Nan sees it and says: "That Juan,
We're all on our own today, mainly just for fun and making things a little bit smaller, so let's count it as two yuan."
Wu Juan now had some tacit understanding with Feng Nan, and she immediately understood and said: "Yes, yes, it's just entertainment, not to win money."
Zhou Zhengling felt that the two-dollar bet was a bit small, but seeing that everyone had agreed and it was difficult to refuse, she reluctantly accepted it. So Wu Juan, Zhou Zhengling and Lao Bao went to the back room to play marijuana. Feng Nan
Watching TV with Bao Xiaolong outside, and playing with Xiao Bai by the way.
Although the TV show was not good to watch, Feng Nan still had a lot of fun with Xiao Bai, and chatted with Bao Xiaolong by the way. As a result, they ended up hanging around until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and then watching the guys playing video games, Zhan Zheng
Sound! I didn’t want to disturb them, so I gave Xiao Bai to Bao Xiaolong and went to cook myself. When I got to the kitchen, I saw that the soups and stews were all kept warm on the stove over low heat, and the cold dishes were properly prepared.
Just waiting to be plated, all kinds of fish, meat and vegetables have been washed and cut, just waiting to be put into the pot. Looking at the knife skills, it is obvious that they are the work of two people. It seems that when it comes to the kitchen, Zhou Zhengling is really not good enough.
Mrs. Bao is on a few levels, but judging from her recent performance, she has been working very hard.
Because Feng Nan opened a teahouse and not a restaurant, there was no dining table for eating, so he put together two relatively high coffee tables to avoid having to bend over when picking up dishes. Bao Xiaolong also came to help. Feng Nan
He smiled and said, "You don't have to, help me take Xiaobai."
Although Bao Xiaolong is a boy, he is quite caring and very popular with children. Xiao Bai and him are not alien at all.
Feng Nan set up the table and chairs, returned to the kitchen, and put six cold dishes first, which had the meaning of six or six good fortunes. Although he never believed in this, it was good to have it as a good wish.
Six cold dishes were placed, wine glasses were arranged, and drinks were also placed.
Mrs. Bao, Wu Juan and Zhou Zhengling should drink red wine. Xiaolong Bao is still young and can only drink soft drinks, but Lao Bao likes to drink two glasses of white. His wife is usually very strict and busy, so he can only indulge in it.
Today is the Chinese New Year, and I can finally get rid of my alcohol addiction, and Feng Nan has also made up her mind to have a few drinks with Lao Bao today.
The tableware and cold dishes were all ready. Feng Nan was going to make hot dishes. He said to Bao Xiaolong in advance: "I'll get the dishes. When I bring the first hot dish, you can call them to eat."
While teasing Xiao Bai, Bao Xiaolong made an OK gesture to Feng Nan. But as soon as Feng Nan entered the kitchen, Bao Xiaolong hugged Xiao Bai and walked into the private room with the door open with a pitiful look.
When Mrs. Bao saw her son coming in, she just thought he was hungry and said, "Wait a minute, I'll cook after finishing these four laps."
Bao Xiaolong said: "After you finish cooking and serve the dishes, Uncle Feng will go to cook."
When Zhou Zhengling heard this, she couldn't help but said "Ouch" and wanted to leave the table, but she was currently the winner. According to the rules, the winner cannot take the initiative to break up the game, so she hesitated, while Wu Juan looked at the time and said
: "Oh, it's almost six o'clock. I originally said that dinner would start at six o'clock on time. How about we lay out the cards and continue playing after dinner? Anyway, everyone should take their own cards."
With Wu Juan's start, everyone got off the table and got off the table. Mrs. Bao and Zhou Zhengling hurried to the kitchen, only to see Feng Nan stabbing before oiling a portion of shredded pork.
Mrs. Bao stepped forward and grabbed the pot and said, "Give it to me. What kind of vegetables do you know how to stir-fry? The shredded pork needs to wait for the hot oil to cool down a little, otherwise the stir-fried meat will turn into fried meat."
Feng Nan chuckled and said, "This is another trick I've learned."
Mrs. Bao said: "It's useless for a man to learn too much, as long as he doesn't starve when his wife returns to her parents' home." She turned to Zhou Zhengling and said: "You are different. You need to learn two more tricks.
Your days are still long."
Zhou Zhengling smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk about it later."
With Zhou Zhengling helping Mrs. Bao in the kitchen, Feng Nan had nothing to do and returned to the hall. Wu Juan had already taken the initiative and encouraged Bao Xiaolong to eat together, but the Bao family seemed to have good dining rules.
It was quite a lot. Lao Bao and Xiao Long only tasted it briefly, just to give Wu Juan face. It wasn't until Feng Nan came back and wanted to have a drink with Lao Bao that they relaxed a little.
As Mrs. Bao and Zhou Zhengling showed off their skills, various delicacies were put on the table one after another. Lao Bao drank a few glasses of wine and became drunk. Not only did he talk more, but he also spoke louder.
It made the atmosphere on the table a lot more lively.
Finally, all the dishes were served, and Mrs. Bao and Zhou Zhengling also took their seats. Feng Nan smiled and said to Lao Bao: "Brother Bao, you are the eldest here, can you say a few words?"
Before Lao Bao could say anything, Mrs. Bao said first, "Hey, he said whatever he said, it's up to the guest to do as he pleases. You are the master here, so you say it."
Feng Nan said: "Sister-in-law, if you say that, it's not my turn. There is someone older than me here." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Zhengling. Zhou Zhengling was taking a bite of the food.
When he came here, he hurriedly swallowed and said: "No, no, no, I am your nominal mother. Besides, you are the pillar of this family. You are the only man in this family, so you should be the head of the family."
Wu Juan also said: "That's Brother Nan, now you are the core."
Feng Nan smiled and said: "The core is not just a random thing. There is no certain level that you can't go up to, but I won't push it. Today is New Year's Eve. Although we are not a family, we are better than a family. We share weal and woe and respect each other."
I won’t talk about helping. In short, in the new year, I wish everyone a new beginning, make a lot of money, and make a fortune. Let’s have a drink!”
"Cheers!" everyone cheered and raised their glasses.
After a round of drinking, Wu Juan wanted to take advantage of today's drinking experience and offer Feng Nan a drink first. Although Feng Nan came back late this time, he helped her a lot. If it was Lao Bao and his wife who brought her back from the line of life and death.
After she was pulled back, Feng Nan was the one who gave her a new life, and Feng Nan's help was not repaid. This especially touched Wu Juan, but Wu Juan only had to raise the cup every time, and Feng Nan was not
Lao Bao, who was pulled over by Zhou Zhengling first, finally saw an opportunity. After saying half a sentence, Feng Nan's cell phone rang again.
Feng Nan smiled apologetically at Wu Juan and said, "Maybe it's a New Year's call, just a few words." But when he took out his phone and looked at it, his heart sank, because the number of the incoming call was not displayed. According to the
Experience shows that whenever there is no number displayed for an incoming call, usually nothing good happens. However, Feng Nan pressed the answer button with a glimmer of hope and said with a smile: "Hey Haowen, did you make a mistake? I also use my office phone during the Chinese New Year."
Fight."
As a result, a cold female voice came from the other side of the phone and said: "Captain, this is Guo Hui, it's time for us to set off."
