There are exactly six dishes, corresponding to six good lucks.
When the food was just served, Huo Xinyuan felt like his saliva was about to flow out.
"Little sister, stop busying yourself and sit down. I'll take care of the rest." Huo Xinyuan pushed Su Miaomiao to the seat and served the rice himself.
Su Miaomiao didn't hesitate and sat down comfortably.
After everyone was seated, she opened a bottle of wine and gave each person a glass to celebrate the new birth.
"Everything that has happened in the past is just a prologue. I wish that all our dreams will come true in the future and that we will be safe and healthy." Su Miaomiao raised her glass.
"Congratulations!" Huo Xinyuan shouted.
This evening, everyone ate and drank heartily, even Mr. and Mrs. Huo had two drinks.
Even after having a good meal and drinking, Mrs. Huo's eyes were a little moist.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Tang Chunlan noticed that she was wiping her eyes and asked quickly.
"Nothing, I just remembered the days when we all spent time together, just as lively as today." Old Madam Huo drank a little wine, and her emotions were not as reserved as usual.
She said this subtly, and everyone understood.
Although the brothers of the Huo family each started their own families after they got married, they would all get together during the holidays.
The Huo family is very large, and during the New Year celebrations, one table is full and usually there is one table for the adults and one table for the children.
In such a situation, it was hard for Mrs. Huo not to think of her other children.
Huo Jianye was fine, at least she met him twice, but there was no news at all from her second son and youngest daughter.
I don’t know how they are doing this winter, whether they have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear.
"Old lady, everyone is happy today, please don't say such sad words." Mr. Huo patted the back of Mrs. Huo's hand.
"As I get older, I get emotional easily after drinking. Don't bother with me. I just... I just..." Mrs. Huo choked up as she spoke.
"Mom, it's okay. We are all family. I am also worried about my second brother and his family. We will think of a way to contact them after spring." Tang Chunlan comforted her softly.
"Yeah." Mrs. Huo nodded.
The Huo family has the habit of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. Usually, it is the young people who stay up all night. Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo basically go to bed after having their midnight dinner.
Perhaps because not everyone is here today, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are also keeping vigil together, praying that the family can be reunited in the future.
…
At this time, Lu Xiuyuan, who was far away in Beijing, was having dinner with his father in a state-owned restaurant.
There was another family with them, and they were all from the same family.
Lu Xiuyuan was not very interested in such a scene and just sat aside and ate quietly.
The little girl sitting opposite him kept looking at him secretly, blushing as she did so.
"Xiuyuan, don't just focus on eating, toast a glass of wine to your Uncle Xu." Father Lu gestured to Lu Xiuyuan.
"Dad, I can't drink." Lu Xiuyuan said calmly.
"Then use tea instead of wine."
Seeing that Lu's father was so insistent, Lu Xiuyuan had no choice but to stand up, pick up the tea in front of him and face the middle-aged man opposite him.
"Uncle Xu, I offer you a toast."
"Okay, okay, Xiuyuan is getting more and more handsome." The middle-aged man opposite smiled.
Lu Xiuyuan took a sip of tea, sat down again and continued eating.
"Xiuyuan, you are now a colonel, have you ever considered returning to Beijing?" the middle-aged man opposite asked gently.
The way he looked at Lu Xiuyuan was as if he was looking at his own son-in-law.
