That night, the whole family had a dinner together at Chen 꼎's house.

The Chen family was naturally very happy when Niu Da died. They had to celebrate.

And everyone knows that Chen will take his parents out for a trip on the second day of the Chinese New Year, so we gathered together in advance today and treated it as a family dinner.

During the meal, several elders were very excited and talked about many bad things done by the two brothers of the Niu family.

Dad Chen drank a lot and sighed drunkenly.

"The old saying is true."

"Evildoers will be punished by God. Even God can't stand such bad people."

Chen 꼎 was sitting with Gao Shengbo and asked in a low voice.

"Any news about Niu Er?"

"I heard that this guy has been making trouble at the village chief's house, and he wants compensation from the village. But the village chief and his family seem to have gone out to hide."

Chen smiled and joked, "After this, I guess it will be this Niu Er who will compete with you for the position of village chief. What do you think? Are you sure?"

Goldman Sachs smiled smugly.

"Most cows die, so why should I be afraid of a bird?"

"This time, I will fight him to the end even if it means risking my life."

Chen 꼎 smiled and patted the other person's shoulder.

"Don't worry. You will definitely be elected."

The next day, Chen accompanied his parents to the supermarket in the county town to buy some groceries.

Because of the lunar New Year, there was no Big Thirty in 2006.

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and tonight is New Year's Eve.

This is the first time that the Chen family moved out of the village and moved into a new house.

My parents seemed a little uncomfortable with the situation. After all, they were in the village and had a lot of things to do that day.

But after moving into the building, I didn’t know any of my neighbors. I went shopping in the supermarket in the morning and put up Spring Festival couplets. In the afternoon, I made dumplings. There didn’t seem to be anything else to do.

Although his parents were not used to it, Chen 꼎 was very happy.

It took more than six days to finally get my parents to move out of the countryside and move into a building.

There were no guests on New Year's Eve.

There are Chen and his family of three at home.

Mom was cooking dumplings in the kitchen, while Chen 꼎 sat in the living room with dad, watching the Spring Festival Gala and drinking.

According to past custom, Chen Jianye would lecture Chen Ruo every time this happened, but now Chen Jianye seldom lectures Chen Ruo.

He was extremely satisfied and proud of his son.

Suo explained these eight words to Chen.

"Keep your heart and be a good person."

"Mom, eat first. We'll do it after you finish eating." Chen called towards the kitchen.

"It will be ready soon." Li Jinqiu replied with a smile.

Chen Jianye said, "My son asked you to eat first, but don't bother. You can't finish all the dumplings you cooked. Aren't we going on a trip on the second day of the Chinese New Year? I'll see what you'll do if you can't finish the dumplings by then."

Li Jinqiu came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of dumplings.

"The last dish is ready."

"Hurry up and sit down and eat."

"Mom, do you want something to drink?"

Chen Jianye smiled.

"You are older than me. If your son lets you drink, you should drink."

Li Jinqiu glanced at his son.

"Okay, Mom will have a drink with you and your grandpa."

Chen 꼎 stood up and asked, "Mom, do you want red wine or beer?"

"Why drink red wine? Pour your mother a glass of white wine."

Seeing Chen 꼎's puzzled expression, Chen Jianye laughed.

"Your mother was a great drinker of liquor when she was young. Even I may not be able to drink more than her."

Li Jinqiu first gave her husband a blank look, then reached out for the bottle and poured herself a glass.

Chen 꼎 looked surprised.

"Mom, is this true?"

"How come I haven't seen you drink alcohol in these days?"

"When I first married your father, our family was poor and couldn't afford a coal stove. In addition, the windows leaked in the winter, so I would drink with him at night to warm myself up."

"I think I developed my drinking capacity back then."

Li Jinqiu seemed to be lost in memories and couldn't help but smile.

"Now that I think about it, time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, my son has grown up so fast."

Chen Jianye raised his glass.

"Wife, you have worked hard for all this."

"You have no ability, marrying you will make you suffer."

Li Jinqiu was obviously embarrassed to be called daughter-in-law in front of her son.

She glared at her husband first, then smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"You have worked hard for this family."

The two clinked their glasses and Chen Jianye smiled with satisfaction.

"I haven't let you live a good life in this life, but fortunately we have a proud son who has made up for all the debts I owe you."

"A few days ago, I would never have believed that our family could still live in a building like the people in the city."

Li Jinqiu rolled her eyes at her husband again.

"What's the big deal about whether you're dead or not?"

Chen 꼎 smiled and raised his hand.

"Oh, maybe we should avoid suspicion and let the two of you talk alone for a while."

"How dare you tease me, you bastard?"

The whole family laughed.

Chen 꼎 smiled and joked.

"Mom, do you regret marrying Dad?"

Li Jinqiu shook his head: "I have never regretted it."

"Besides, if she hadn't married him, how could we have a son as obedient and competitive as you?"

Chen 꼎 glanced at his father, then continued to ask with a smile.

"Mom, how did you fall in love with Dad in the first place? Dad was very poor, what was it about him that attracted you?"

Li Jinqiu put down his chopsticks, seemingly lost in memories.

"When your father was young, he was hardworking and willing to endure hardships. He was also very talented. He could write poems and calligraphy well..."

"Your dad is the eldest in the family. For the sake of his three younger siblings, your grandfather made him drop out of school early to earn money to support the family. Otherwise, how could your dad not even graduate from junior high school?"

"And your dad was very handsome when he was young, like Fei Xiang..."

Chen glared at him and said, "Mom, you are a bit like a lover who sees beauty in everything."

Chen Jianye glared at him and said, "You idiot, what are you talking about? I think your father is handsome when he is your son."

It was a rare occasion that Li Jinqiu showed a loving expression.

"Of course, the main thing is that he's a good person. I think marrying your father will be the right thing in my life. So even if your grandma's family disagrees, I'll marry him."

Chen noticed that his father secretly picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and his eyes were a little red.

Mom naturally picked up the bottle and poured Dad a glass.

Chen 꼎 thought, in his memory, although his parents would occasionally argue, they rarely quarreled.

The living conditions at home are not good, but my mother doesn't seem to pursue this.

Maybe, mom is marrying for love.

In the future, Ruochu and I will be like our parents and be able to support each other for the rest of our lives.

At this time, the dance performance of the Spring Festival Gala on TV just ended.

The next show begins.

Chen was stunned when he saw the subtitles of the program on the screen.

"Song: Beautiful Myth. Singer: Cheng Long, gentle."

Wen Wan actually appeared on the Spring Festival Gala?

Why didn't anyone inform me?

늀I didn’t even tell Wenwan.

In 땤且陈꼎's memory, it seemed that Han Hong and Sun Nan performed this song on the stage at the Spring Festival Gala in the previous life.

Is it because Wen Wan is too popular?

What caused the Spring Festival Gala program group to make changes?

Li Jinqiu, who was eating, looked up at the TV and couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of a star, how do these stars maintain their looks? They are so handsome."
