"Brother Yue!" Jiayi called out, her expression obviously showing surprise rather than confusion. She hid all her curiosity and walked over to welcome him through the door with a smile.
A Xiang turned to look at Clara. It was very unusual to suddenly appear outside Yi Ji's door instead of spending New Year's Eve with her family.
But after everyone exchanged glances, they all followed Jiayi's example, smiling and accepting the New Year's goods brought by Fang Zhenyue, and helping Fang Zhenyue fill the dishes and chopsticks, looking lively as if they had made an appointment to spend New Year's Eve together. , without showing any curiosity that would embarrass Fang Zhenyue.
The whole room accepted him as if nothing had happened.
The main seat of the round table was occupied by Yi Jiadong. He forced Fang Zhenyue to sit next to him and asked him to drink with him with a smile.
Fang Zhenyue did not refuse, he opened the bottle of foreign wine he brought with him and took the initiative to pour a glass for Yi Jiadong.
"Is the alcohol content high?" Yi Jiadong shouted that he wanted to drink, but when it was time to raise the glass, he asked Let's see the alcohol content of the wine.
"It's not strong. Drink slowly. You won't get drunk. Even if you get drunk, I'll carry you home." Fang Zhenyue waved his hand and clinked glasses with Yi Jiadong.
Women and children around the table They also raised their glasses with a smile. A table of people with different surnames sat together in a lively and noisy atmosphere, but they were more intimate than some relatives with the same surname.
Everyone clinked their glasses and drank, drinking up the past and looking forward to the future, and auspicious words were poured out without paying.
The reunion hot pot is in the middle, surrounded by fish that means "abundance every year", pork elbow and seaweed that means "money comes easily", and fried dough sticks that means "a house full of gold and silver"...
Listen to the gongs and drums on the street outside. The atmosphere was filled with people and laughter.
The coldness on Fang Zhenyue's body had long been dispelled by the hot food and wine, and the harmonious and joyful atmosphere of Yiji.
After three rounds of drinks, his face was as red as a monkey's butt. Sitting back in the chair, he watched the people around him take away his bowl of rice, and rubbed his belly. He listened to Jiajun's jokes and laughed like a child.
Jiayi nudged Yue's arm with her elbow. Although his eyes were still He looked at Jiajun, but immediately leaned over to listen to her.
She whispered, "Why don't you eat the fish I caught for you?"
"What's wrong?" He finally turned to look at her. Inspector Fang, slightly tipsy, had a layer of sweat on his red cheeks, which covered his hair. Soaked. Looking closer, his face looked furry. His eyes, slightly misty due to alcohol, were also wet, like a naive and curious dog.
"I did it~" Jiayi also drank a few sips. Although her face wasn’t as red as his, it was still rosy.
"Let me taste it." He immediately sat up straight, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat the fish carefully, chewing the tender and springy perch meat, which was wrapped in the soup and tasted fresh and sweet. He didn't turn his head until he had swallowed it. She nodded vigorously, as if she were performing some kind of ritual, and opened her mouth to answer, but was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hear clearly because of the noise, so she leaned forward again and whispered in her ear: "
It's delicious."
Yi chuckled happily, her apple muscles bulged, almost rubbing against his lips.
Fang Zhenyue's eyes suddenly dropped slightly, but fortunately he still had reason and knew where he was. He swallowed dryly and pulled back the The line of sight on her brows and cheeks straightened her body and also distanced herself from her.
The moonlight was leisurely, and the night wind was blowing, making a soft sound, like a sigh of regret.
...
...
The round table was hot and bustling, and Ah Xiang suddenly stood up and said she wanted to eat garlic.
Eating meat without garlic is the same as not eating garlic.
How can there be no garlic on the table when there is a lot of meat?
"I'll go get it." Jiayi stood up, walked out the door, picked up the garlic planted by her eldest brother, and dug two heads.
When she raised her head, she suddenly saw the cyclamen painted with red paint on the outer wall .
After looking for a while, I found that there were a few more small flowers under the cyclamen.
As I was looking carefully, Jiajun's voice suddenly came from inside the house: "
Sister, is there garlic?"
"Here I am~!" Jiayi He came back to his senses and looked inside. Warm yellow light shone from the house.
She stood there for a few more seconds, then walked back to the shop, smiling in the New Year's atmosphere, and said loudly:
"Let me try it and see if the meat with garlic tastes better~"
"I want to try it too." Jiajun agreed, saying that he also wanted to try the way Ah Xiang wanted to eat it.
The garlic grew well, each clove was white and plump.
Jiayi was sitting at the table helping to peel the garlic, and she turned around and whispered to her sister: :
"Have you noticed that there are a few more flowers on the outer wall?"
"I noticed, but I don't know who painted them. I don't know when or who painted them there, but they are pretty, that's it." "Jiaru also replied in a low voice. She peeled two cloves of garlic and sniffed her fingertips, which were full of garlic smell.
"I don't know what kind of flower it is." Jiayi muttered.
"It's forget-me-not." Jiaru was holding a bunch of plump white garlic and was about to wash the cloves when she heard her elder sister's words. She turned around and said.
"..." Jiayi.
...
...
Everyone Halfway through the meal, Yi Jiadong brought out the hot rice cakes from the kitchen:
"Eat rice cakes, may you grow taller every year, we have silver and gold rice cakes~"
When the rice cakes were served, Yi Jiayi turned around and called Jiajun:
"Call Doufuzai again. I don't know if he was stuck in traffic at the flower market or if he's still on the set?"
Jiajun immediately ran over and called the New Year's Eve crew to find Sun Xin.
"...Everyone "We are here, we just need you! You have to come back after the shooting! Brother Yue said that if you don't have a car and can't come back, he will pick you up." Jiajun shouted loudly.
"Is Mr. Fang here too?"
"Yes!"
"I'm leaving now. Some of my colleagues from the crew are staying there, so it's on the way."
"I'll wait for you to eat dumplings together, Brother Sun Xin!"
"OK~"
Everyone After eating for a long time, Sun Xin finally came back.
As soon as he entered the room, he sat down at the table without caring about being exhausted. He ate a mouthful of fish first.
Seeing that he was full, Yi Jiadong was eager to pour him some wine. He was drinking However, Fang Zhenyue, but it was still easy to knock down Sun Xin.
Finally, before the New Year, everyone was there.
After dinner, everyone gathered together to learn how to make dumplings from Ah Xiang.
Although Jiayi was the loudest to roll out the dumpling wrappers, Fang Zhenyue took the rolling pin from her hand and took over the hardest work.
Jiayi sat beside him drunkenly with her chin in her hand, watching him quickly learn how to do it from Doufuzai, and then rolled the dumpling wrappers faster and faster.
The rhythmic repetitive scenes were particularly relaxing and hypnotic. She nodded her head and almost fell asleep. She didn't even wrap a dumpling in a daze.
Suddenly, a countdown sound came from outside the door, either far or near:
"10-9-8..."
"Ahhh! It's New Year's Eve!" Jiaru jumped up from the stool, as lively as a monkey.
"It's just New Year's Eve~" Little Jiajun had to pretend to be mature and followed Jiaru slowly.
Jiayi and the others gathered around the table, staring at the man and clapping his hands one by one, while shouting in a particularly lively manner:
"6, 5, 4, 3——"
"Ding!"
The New Year's bell finally rang, and everyone rushed out, screaming, setting off fireworks, and jumping around.
Everyone turned back into a child. At the moment of New Year's Eve, you can indulge in your own behavior, as if you have returned to your childhood, shouting and laughing, even if you act like a monkey, no one will laugh at you.
Jiayi was sobered up by everyone's disturbance, so she also took the small fireworks out to set them off, playing with fire while reminding everyone to pay attention to safety.
Because everyone ate too much tonight, most of the dumplings made tonight were frozen by Yi Jiadong, and only a dozen were cooked for everyone as a midnight snack.
While drinking dumpling soup, Jiajun, Jiaru and others greeted Fang Zhenyue and other elders, and several adults who had already started working to earn money took out red envelopes.
Jiayi took out a handful of red envelopes that everyone asked her to pass on during the day, and distributed money like fairies...
Jiajun, Jiaru and Baoshu made a fortune this time, holding the red envelopes and smiling like silly boys from a landlord's family.
"Unmarried people are all children. I want a red envelope too~" Jiayi whispered.
"No one in this house is married yet." Yi Jiadong patted her head.
"Hahaha, it's true." Ah Xiang held her cheek and smiled at everyone's commotion.
"But we have a gift for you." Sun Xin suddenly spoke up and took out a box from the bag he brought back.
"? Me?" Jiayi was surprised to see that Sun Xin was looking at her.
"The most important bond for us to come to Yiji and spend the New Year together here is you." Clara sat down next to Jiayi and held Jiayi's left hand.
Ah Xiang nodded and held Jiayi's right hand.
"Baoshu is young, so I paid for his share." Fang Zhenyue patted Baoshu's head.
"You all got a share?" Jiayi looked around in disbelief.
"My second sister and I paid very little. We will have to wait until we grow up to get big gifts." Jiajun nodded.
Jiayi pursed her lips and hugged the box that Sun Xin handed over, "What is it?"
"Open it and take a look." Yi Jiadong nodded, motioning her to open the package.
The gift was something everyone had discussed before the New Year. Fang Zhenyue ordered it in advance, and Sun Xin went to pick it up when he came back.
Jiayi weighed it, it was heavy, and she looked up in surprise, her big eyes full of light.
She couldn't wait to unpack it, and when she saw the beautiful photo of a mobile phone on the box, Jiayi screamed in surprise.
She quickly took out the heavyweight Motorola mobile phone, held it in her hand, raised it to her ear, and cleared her throat in a serious manner under the gaze of everyone:
"Hello?"
Jiajun immediately responded, "Excuse me, is this Ms. Yi Jiayi?"
"Yes, what can I do for you?" Jiayi tilted her head and asked with a smile.
"You won 5 million in the Mark Six lottery. Please come and claim it when you are free. It takes up a lot of space to put so much money here." Jiajun said nonsense seriously.
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.
Jiayi was moved and held the mobile phone in her hands. She looked at everyone who was smiling at her, and then turned around and threw herself into Ah Xiang's arms.
So happy.
This is probably the feeling of a dream coming true...
Happy New Year!
The New Year is really happy.
...
After the New Year's Eve, a group of people went to send Baoshu home, marching through the streets and alleys. Baoshu said that there was no need to send him home, especially not so many people, but everyone disagreed and everyone insisted on having a piece.
On the way, Jiayi held her mobile phone in her arms, and kept pressing it from time to time, more excited than buying the latest Apple phone in the future.
The female sergeant was a little drunk and silly, and she always pulled Jiajun and Jiaru, insisting that they cooperate with her to pretend to call her. She always played different roles, sometimes a female star was invited by a big director to play the leading role, sometimes a female tycoon was notified that the stock price had risen again, and sometimes her super handsome and awesome husband called her and begged her to go home...
In the end, even Jiaru and Jiajun were dry-mouthed, and only Fang Zhenyue was still not tired of playing house with Jiayi.
The moonlight was so beautiful, and firecrackers rang from time to time around, either scaring everyone, or inexplicably poking everyone's funny points, and a group of people laughed together when they heard the firecrackers like fools. After
sending Jiajun home, everyone turned back and sent Sun Xin, Clara and Ah Xiang home.
After everyone was sent home, Yi Jiadong thought he was going to say goodbye to Fang Zhenyue, but he actually asked to stay with him, either on the floor of the living room or the floor of the study...
Yi Jiadong was stunned for a moment, then immediately put his arm around Fang Zhenyue's shoulders and said cheerfully:
"It's the beginning of the new year and there are a lot of delicious food to eat together. Let's sleep in the study. Ah Xiang and the others also slept in the study when they came to stay with us before. What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow? You can have a plate of fried dumplings first..."
Fang Zhenyue pursed his lips, and his brows slowly relaxed.
Jiayi smiled and took out her mobile phone, tapping the buttons non-stop. Then she picked it up and said into the receiver:
"Hello? Brother Yue, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning? Do you want fried dumplings with pork filling? Or shrimp filling? Oh, you are still lying on the 100-meter bed and haven't gotten up yet? Then do you want to ask your 100 servants to bring the food to your bedroom? OK? Okay, okay, please wait. Then..."
