During the New Year's Eve meal, Cai Gen tried his best to take care of it very carefully, and it was rare for his family to be so popular.
I remember when I was a child, when the Prayer Service was first implemented, every Saturday and Sunday, it would be my grandma’s house, and my grandma’s house would take turns to have dinner together, which was very lively.
On weekends, it is rare for a family of three to have a meal at home.
Later, the old people passed away one after another, and the mother-in-law's family gradually disappeared, so we started to have dinner at the homes of the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt, which was also a happy time.
Later, each relative got older, and the size of their respective families became larger and larger.
The chances of adding children, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, and making do together are becoming less and less, almost every year.
Today, there are more than ten people. It is considered a large dinner. Several elderly people in Cai Gen's family are very happy.
Especially, there is an additional leader named Shi Huozhu.
At the dinner table, I was able to play both sides with ease, and I had already said all the New Year greetings for the New Year.
The point is, while performing hard, he was also very sincere and very pleasing to the old man, which even made Cai Gen jealous.
In the past, at the dinner table, I would adjust the atmosphere by myself, blowing the whistle five times and six times.
Today I have fallen out of favor and have no room to develop.
Some are active and others are reserved. Zhen Shuiyin seems not very adaptable to this kind of family atmosphere.
I only ate a bowl of rice and didn't eat anything else except to say that I was full.
Duan Xiaohong was amazing. She might have been a little drunk when she came. She had a fistfight with Cai Gen's father-in-law, and they were both old ladies, which was dazzling to watch.
Xiao Tmall also received the treatment of a distinguished guest. Tuantuan served him a large bowl of pork head meat, but pets were not eligible to serve. After all, the rules here were different from those in the store.
Xiao Sun is worthy of praise here. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. He helped with the front and back work, and his hands and feet were quick and skillful.
There is a third aunt on the left and a grandma on the right, so they are all trapped in the trap.
My mother even specially called Cai Gen into the back room. She didn’t understand which relative she was from, but Cai Gen must have said she was from her mother-in-law’s house.
On the contrary, when my mother-in-law asked, she also said that she was a relative on my mother's side.
I guess they won't confront each other, right?
Cai Gen was eating, drinking, talking, laughing, and suddenly fell into a trance.
A few hours ago, I was still fighting life and death in the pit. Now I am sitting here, enjoying the happy atmosphere of family reunion. Isn't it a bit unreal?
How wonderful it is to be like this every day. Isn’t life supposed to be like this?
A family, relatives and friends, sitting together neatly, more money or less money is nothing more than the quality of the food, can it affect happiness?
I really don’t know what are so many people chasing after?
Or maybe when you start chasing, you forget what you need most?
You need to run and chase, just to reach something that is difficult to reach, right?
You have to put down the things in your hands and travel light, right?
Is it possible that in the end, both hands will be empty and nothing will be reached?
Cai Gen was thinking wildly, about other people's, his own, everyone's, about hope, happiness, struggle, loss, all kinds of things.
As he thought about it, Cai Gen felt like he had drunk too much.
In fact, I didn’t drink much wine, but the cheerful atmosphere around me made my happiness level a bit higher, higher than that of liquor. Cai Gen was still a little bit drunk.
There is a joke that tourists who often suffer from smog in the city come to the prairie to breathe fresh air.
As a result, I was intoxicated with oxygen as soon as I got off the car. I quickly punched the car's exhaust pipe and took two puffs of exhaust before I resumed my normal breathing.
Cai Gen urgently needs to take two puffs of exhaust gas to alleviate his excessive happiness index.
Hey, am I usually too miserable, so I can't bear even a little bit of happiness?
There is no eternal banquet in the world, happiness and joy are short-lived, a calm life is the norm, and every meal is satisfying.
Cai Gen also packed up the rest of the food, and Zhen Shuiyin only had one bowl of rice.
If Cai Gen has any conscience, he must have a late-night snack when he returns to the store.
Zhen Shuiyin and the others were in a car, and Cai Gen, Yuanyuan and their son were in a car, leaving their parents' neighborhood.
In the car, Yuanyuan looked at Tuan Tuan and didn't say anything directly, but still asked implicitly.
"You went to the pit today? Aren't you racing? What did you do?"
This was just because my parents were here and they didn't expose Shi Huozhu's nonsense. I was afraid that they would be worried, so I came out to ask.
Cai Gen didn't dare to be vague, and he wasn't used to lying. However, when his wife called him during the day, he did lie.
Now is definitely a good opportunity to confess, since the dust has settled and it's over.
"Well, I went and competed, and I got second place."
After saying that, Cai Gen took out the certificate and gently placed it on the center console.
Yuanyuan continued to drive without stopping, but under the illumination of the street lights, the words on the certificate could still be seen.
"No, husband, how old are you?
Isn't this nonsense?
You haven't even hit 100 points while driving, but you want to participate in a cross-country competition?
Isn’t it just two people competing?”
Cai Gen was a little offended by what he said. What do you mean by two people?
There are only two of us, so I can only get second place?
"There were more than a hundred people, but only two people reached the finish line, and there was something else.
It was the same group of people last time. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you."
That group of people last time, Yuanyuan tightened her grip on the steering wheel. If Cai Gen said that, she must be the group who stole her son.
"Husband, can't we hide? I'm very scared."
Cai Gen said in his heart, I am afraid too, because I was forced to do so.
But I can't show my cowardice to my wife, otherwise wouldn't she be even more insecure?
“It’s impossible to avoid it, and it won’t work if you don’t deal with it thoroughly. It’s all stuck and entangled, one after another.
It's better to meet someone head-on than to cause trouble behind your back, so you can't hide."
Yuanyuan turned her head and looked at Cai Gen, and saw that Cai Gen's expression was helpless and determined.
Because Tuan Tuan was there, my husband didn’t say anything clearly.
Last time, maybe because he was hiding or cowarded, the group of people who played dirty tricks attacked his son.
Therefore, the husband does not dare to hide. If he hides, the family will be exposed.
Hey, I have known my husband for twenty years. Since we were classmates in high school, he has been known to be cautious or timid.
Being able to bravely face those strange things must scare my husband to death, right?
She didn't have any solution to the problem, and Yuanyuan was helpless.
It’s not that I haven’t contacted my masters. As long as their husbands are involved, they all collectively silence themselves or lose contact.
Maybe the matter itself is beyond my ability, so what can I do for my husband?
"Husband, don't make it too difficult for yourself. If you can't stand it anymore, my son and I will run away with you."
Cai Gen didn't say anything. He looked out the car window and felt that what he endured was not a big deal.
However, the street lights tonight seemed to be covered with colored glass, which was colorful, dazzling, and had a hazy aperture.
