Chapter 163 New Year's Eve, Su Mingyuan ate the crumbs of the cake
"She confessed to me, but I didn't mean that to her, so I rejected her!"
Under pressure, Su Mingyuan had to speak frankly.
"The girl is pretty good, and she's easygoing and simple-minded, but her family background is a little complicated, so she's not suitable for us. I heard that her family has already arranged a blind date for her, and they've even followed her here!"
Su Mingmei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he refused.
She agrees with her mother that it is best to find a partner who is of equal social status.
It’s not that her brother is not outstanding, it’s just that the other party has a very big background, so it’s inevitable that he will look down on them, who are from a poor family.
After all, marriage is not a matter of two people, but of two families.
The more prestigious and wealthy the family, the more particular they are!
Su Mingyuan nodded. He didn't care about other people's blind dates.
After Dong Yulan packed the food for Mr. Bai, Su Mingyuan left with his bags.
Gu Qiqi stared at her uncle's back as he left, and judged in her heart that he probably wouldn't want to come back here in the short term.
In a flash, most of the winter vacation has passed, and there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year.
The Gu family’s cellar was filled with grain and vegetables, and the beams were hung with cured chickens and rabbits, so they had no worries about food and drink!
Three days before New Year's Eve, Xiao Tuan took Bai Xiumei and Xiao Mo back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.
When they left, the Gu family packed a lot of food for them!
Everyone is removing dust, cleaning, and preparing New Year's goods. The New Year atmosphere in the compound is getting stronger and stronger!
On New Year's Eve, Bai Lao and Jinze returned from the hospital.
Su Qingshan, Jinchen and Jinan were cutting red paper in the main room, and Xiao Qibao was sharpening the inkstone, preparing to write Spring Festival couplets.
"You're back. Have you had breakfast?" Dong Yulan saw that Bai Lao and Jin Ze were delighted, and subconsciously looked behind them, "Mingyuan didn't come back with you!"
"He said he had something to do and wouldn't be back. These are the things he asked me to bring back!" Old Bai said as he handed over the cigarettes, alcohol, candy and snacks in his hand.
"What are you so busy about? You're not even coming back for the New Year today!" Dong Yulan was stunned. She reached out to take the things, feeling a little unhappy.
The annual New Year’s Eve is the time for families to get together!
Is there anything more important than family reunion?
Besides, the factory should be on holiday for the New Year!
"That's not clear. He gave me the thing and left in a hurry. It seemed he was in a hurry!" said Mr. Bai.
"Grandpa Bai, big brother, grandma said that we will eat dumplings today for New Year's Day. Let's make dumplings together later!" Gu Jinan rushed out from the main room and announced happily to the two of them.
"Haha, OK, let's eat dumplings. I'll have a treat as soon as I get back!"
When Bai Lao heard about the food, his reaction was the same as Gu Jinan’s, he was so happy!
Gu Jianguo is on vacation.
From New Year’s Eve to the sixth day of the New Year, you don’t have to go to the group during these days and can spend time with your family.
After the red paper was cut, Su Qingshan was responsible for writing the couplets.
First line: The horse gallops fast in the spring breeze; second line: The motherland is prosperous and the people are happy; horizontal banner: The country is peaceful and the people are safe.
Qibao, who was standing by, stood on tiptoe and watched, guessing that it should be posted on the gate of the courtyard.
First couplet: Diligence and thrift bring prosperity to all industries; second couplet: Unity brings prosperity to the country for thousands of years; horizontal banner: A harmonious family brings prosperity to all things.
First couplet: The blazing stove fire welcomes joy, second couplet: The aroma of food celebrates a good harvest, horizontal banner: The house is filled with joy.
The next two couplets should be posted on the main door and the kitchen door respectively.
…
Su Qingshan read a lot of books and developed excellent handwriting.
The calligraphy was so vigorous and powerful that even Mr. Bai, who was standing by, couldn't help but applaud.
The couplets were written and placed aside to dry, and Dong Yulan had already kneaded the flour.
Then the family gathered around the table and started making dumplings.
Dong Yulan was responsible for rolling out the dough, and everyone helped to wrap it.
Children love the mixed cabbage and pork filling, which is also sprinkled with chopped green onions and smells delicious.
On New Year's Eve, while others were having a family reunion dinner, Su Mingyuan returned to the cotton mill carrying the food he bought on the street.
The old man who was guarding the gate of the cotton mill left work early to reunite with his family, and the factory was deserted.
"Hey, Comrade Su, aren't your purchasing department on holiday? Why are you here in the factory instead of at home with your family at this time?" Xiao Zhao, the workshop manager, looked surprised.
"Don't mention it. The last time I went back home, matchmakers were knocking on the door. My mom kept nagging me about finding a partner. My ears are almost callused. If I go back this time, she will definitely bring it up again."
"I was bored in the dormitory, so I came to the factory. Why didn't you go back to have a reunion dinner with your sister-in-law?" Su Mingyuan asked back.
Xiao Zhao looked helpless: "I would like to go back, but there is still some work in the workshop that needs someone to look after. I am on duty today. If something goes wrong when I go back, I can't bear the responsibility!"
"It's okay, I'll watch it for you. I'm free anyway, so you can go and reunite with your wife!" Su Mingyuan kindly took the job.
Xiao Zhao looked surprised: "Are you serious? This won't last for a short time. Are you sure you'll keep an eye on it for me?"
"Go ahead, and remember to buy me a drink later!"
"Please, of course you should. I'll leave the workshop matters to you. I'm going back to have a reunion dinner with my wife!" Xiao Zhao said hurriedly.
Su Mingyuan waved his hand, and Xiao Zhao left happily.
Su Mingyuan stared at Xiao Zhao's back with a complicated expression.
He is happy now, but when he goes back and sees his wife cheating on him, he will probably cry!
Xiao Zhao, the workshop manager, is one of Lei Dajun's loyal followers and knows many of his secrets.
In his previous life, Lei Dajun was very caring towards Xiao Zhao's family.
Later, Xiao Zhao was imprisoned for a crime, and Lei Dajun even took the initiative to help take care of his wife and children!
It was not until later that someone revealed that Lei Dajun had been secretly hanging out with Xiao Zhao's wife for years.
And Xiao Zhao’s son is actually Lei Dajun’s!
During this period of time, he secretly observed and discovered that Lei Dajun had already hooked up with Xiao Zhao's wife, Shen.
The entire workshop was on holiday, and only Xiao Zhao was left behind, and he was selected by Lei Dajun himself.
Combined with the month when Xiao Zhao's son was born in his previous life, Su Mingyuan deduced that Lei Dajun must have made Shen pregnant with his child today.
Before returning to the cotton mill, he had already gone to Xiao Zhao's home and waited there. He had indeed seen Lei Dajun heading in the direction of his home, so he returned to the mill to replace Xiao Zhao...
Su Mingyuan sat on a chair and ate a crumbly piece of bread.
He missed Qibao, and he missed his mother's cooking even more!
My brother-in-law and his family must have had a great meal on New Year’s Eve!
The more Su Mingyuan thought about it, the more he felt that the pancake in his hand tasted bad. It was so dry that it was falling apart. He couldn't swallow it, so he could only eat it while drinking water.
Because it was Chinese New Year, all the employees in the factory were on holiday and the canteen was closed.
Su Mingyuan gritted his teeth and endured the night. He would go to his brother-in-law's house early tomorrow morning to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!
In the military compound, Dong Yulan and Su Mingmei prepared a large table of delicious food!
Not only fish and meat, but also dumplings!
A big table full of delicious food, it makes people drool just by looking at it.
