Chapter 578 New Year's Day 1979
After they chatted for a while in the living room, Mr. Tan said, "It's getting late. I guess you guys came here in a hurry and haven't had dinner yet. It's a good idea to stay home and eat before going back."
Tan Chen knew what his grandfather was thinking. He just wanted his father-in-law to get to know the family better.
"Okay, Grandpa, we'll go back after dinner."
When it comes to dinner, Mr. Tan becomes more talkative.
He said to Shang Lifeng, "I heard from your mother that your cooking skills are better than hers. I wonder when I, an old man, will be able to eat more delicious meals?"
In fact, the elderly’s appetite is one thing, but the main purpose is to relieve the depressing and tense atmosphere.
Shang Lifeng stood up politely: "Uncle Tan, just tell me what you want to eat. I can come over and help you cook at any time."
Mr. Tan nodded happily: "Okay, okay, New Year's Day is coming soon. Then our whole family will go to the courtyard and have some fun together."
"Okay, I'll definitely make a few of my signature dishes for Uncle Tan to taste."
As they were talking, Jiang Ping walked in holding a little kid in each hand.
"Dabao, Erbao, look who's here?"
The four little ones have recently learned to walk. Although they are not very stable yet, they can still walk a long way when led by their grandmother.
Dabao and Erbao looked at everyone in the living room with their eyes curved in smiles, especially when they saw Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen, they struggled to break free from their grandmother's hand and ran towards them with their short legs, stumbling.
At the same time, she called out sweetly: "Dad, Mom..."
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were equally overjoyed when they saw their two sons. They hurried over and picked up the two little guys.
It was the second time that Shang Lifeng saw his two little grandsons, and he also walked over with a smile.
"Dabao, Erbao, do you still recognize grandpa?"
The second child usually talks more than the first child, and his pronunciation is more accurate.
She called out sweetly, "Grandpa."
After hearing the word "Grandpa", the haze in Shang Lifeng's heart caused by Liu Dingbing's incident was completely swept away.
"Okay, okay, my grandson is so cute. Come, give him a hug."
Erbao wanted to be hugged by his grandfather, but when he saw his father holding him, he was reluctant to leave.
Just when he was struggling, Tan Chen's biological father had already "ruthlessly" sent him to his grandfather's arms.
Erbao pouted his lips, then started gesticulating and mumbling a string of foreign words that no one could understand.
This action once again made the people in the living room laugh.
The dinner was also very harmonious. Although the dishes were not as delicious as those made by Old Lady Shang and Shang Lifeng, everyone still ate a lot.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen played with their two sons for a while before leaving.
It was already late at night when we returned to the courtyard.
Seeing that Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were very busy recently, Shang Ruonan decided to put her own affairs aside for the time being and talk to them after New Year's Day.
Busy times pass quickly, and New Year's Day is here in the blink of an eye.
Shang Ruoting naturally had to find an opportunity to take out the seafood and other fresh vegetables and fruits in the space for her family to taste.
The Tan family also arrived at the courtyard at nine o'clock in the morning.
A few days ago, Tan Chen also invited Zhang Wenfu to his home to celebrate New Year's Day together. After all, they are relatives, so there is no inconvenience.
Zhang Wenfu refused, as he planned to celebrate New Year's Day with his fellow villagers in Sihe Village.
After all, it is not easy for everyone to leave their hometown to work, and they cannot reunite with their families on New Year's Day. Therefore, Zhang Wenfu decided to take everyone out for a good meal to welcome the new year.
Tan Chen originally planned to give out some money so that his fellow villagers could have a good New Year's Day.
Since Zhang Wenfu was willing to arrange it for him, he was naturally willing.
So, they gave Zhang Wenfu enough money to buy food, and gave each villager a red envelope of 20 yuan.
This action was naturally praised by the villagers. Everyone felt that working with Tan Chen was like being in heaven.
Now that Shang Lifeng is here, Old Mrs. Shang feels a lot more relaxed. With Shang Ruonan to help, she doesn't need any other help in the kitchen.
As soon as Mr. Tan entered the living room, he sat on the warm floor and played with his little great-grandchildren.
Now the four little ones have learned to walk. They keep circling around their great-grandfather, and from time to time they can hear bursts of innocent laughter.
At noon, Shang Lifeng prepared the meal on time, and Shang Ruonan and Aunt Zhang helped to serve it on the table.
The dishes are definitely impeccable, with the delicious ingredients taken out from Shang Ruoting's space and Shang Lifeng's excellent cooking skills, making people drool just by looking at them.
Mr. Tan looked at the dishes that were served on the table one after another and nodded continuously.
"Okay, okay, these are all my favorite foods."
It’s a pity that there is no Buddha Jumps Over the Wall…
