Uncle Song's appearance did not affect the mood of the Song family.
The two families sat in the living room watching TV and chatting.
Not long after, Xiaomei's family, Wang Chunhua's father and mother, Xiuhong and Honghua's families came to visit.
A group of people dressed in various new red clothes appeared at the door of the living room.
Greetings one after another.
"Hello, my dear."
"Hello handsome new guy~"
"Old handsome new guy is good~"
Everyone exchanged greetings.
Grandma Song waved to the children, "Come in, come in! It's so lively here with so many people around. Come and have some sunflower seeds and candy."
She held out a plate of melon seeds and candies.
Xiaomei nudged Zhenzhen and said, "Madam is giving you candy. Go ahead."
Zhenzhen, with her round eyes and delicate skin, smiled, revealing a few small teeth. She came over and her younger sister called out, "Congratulations, Madam! I wish you all the best."
"Oh my good boy."
The old lady grabbed a handful of candy and put it into Zhenzhen's pocket.
Then the other children also swarmed over, chattering and calling "Madam", and Mrs. Song was very happy.
Lin Qingqing looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Zhang Liang, go tell the others to come over for dinner tonight. We'll set up four tables in the large restaurant in the front yard."
"yes."
Zhang Liang agreed with a smile.
"Can Auntie and the others handle it? I'll go and help with the cooking." Xiaomei said.
"I'll go too." Qi Nan said.
Lin Qingqing waved her hand.
"No, Chen Jie and the others will help. We will all have dinner together tonight."
She patted the stool next to her and said, "Hurry up and sit down and watch TV."
In the blink of an eye it was already midnight.
“It’s time to eat!”
Chen Jie ran in and shouted.
"Hello, eat."
Old Master Song stood up and greeted everyone.
A group of people rushed out of the living room, and the children also ran out from the game room next door.
The red lanterns under the eaves emit a warm red light, which reflects on people's faces, making them look rosy and festive.
Everyone came to the large restaurant in the front yard, chatting and laughing.
As soon as you enter the door, you are hit by the warm air. There are more than 20 steaming dishes on each of the four tables.
There are chicken, duck, fish and meat, all of which are delicious and fragrant.
The aroma makes your stomach growl.
There was also a bottle of Moutai and a bottle of sweet wine placed in the center of each table.
"There are still more than a dozen dishes warming up in the pot. If any table is short of food, just call me and I'll get more."
Auntie tugged at the new clothes she had just changed into and said to everyone with a smile.
Zhu Shuai was so nice. Not only did he give her a big red envelope, he also made her two sets of new clothes with materials she had never seen before.
For an old woman like her who has no children, finding a family that treats her so well is a blessing from her previous life.
"Okay, Auntie, you've worked hard, everyone please take a seat."
Lin Qingqing greeted everyone and sat down at the first table.
The first and second tables near the wall were occupied by the Lin and Song families and their children.
The third table was occupied by Xiaomei, Haixia, Xiuhong and other families, as well as Wang Chunhua's father, Dong Hui and his wife, Qi Nan, Zhou Zhen, Qin Zhao and his group.
The fourth table was occupied by Chen Jie and his twenty-five men.
Everyone took their seats in order.
The children and several daughters-in-law of the Lin family sat at the second table.
After everyone was seated and poured wine and water into their glasses, Mr. Song, as the head of the family, raised his glass and stood up.
"It's a blessing that we can have dinner together today. May everyone be happy in the new year. May China continue to be better. Let's have a drink."
Everyone looked at each other with a smile, then stood up, raised their glasses, clinked glasses with the people around them, and drank it all in one gulp.
“Ding ding ding~”
The restaurant suddenly became lively with laughter and the clinking of wine glasses.
