Chapter 478 Family Love on New Year's Eve

"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year!"

"Grandpa Pei, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Uncle Stone!"

Outside the house, the sound of firecrackers exploding could be heard from time to time. It was not as brilliant as fireworks, but it was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Inside the house, the table full of food was emitting wisps of steam, and the whole space was filled with rich fragrance and lingering heat.

The thick coats were taken off, revealing new sweaters that had been worn for a long time. They were soft and warm, reflecting the happy smiles on everyone's faces.

He raised the cup in his hand high and clinked it with his own.

Everyone said Happy New Year, and all emotions reached their peak at this time.

For the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, Jiang Rou not only invited Song Yan, but also Dr. Pei.

Four adults and three children sat in a circle around the not-so-big dining table, one person next to the other.

The most crowded thing is definitely the table full of food.

From chicken, duck, fish, to frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying, even though Zhou Chongshan had already told Jiang Rou not to work too hard, how could he not celebrate the New Year properly, so he still prepared a table full of food.

"Jiang girl, you've worked hard today. You still have to entertain an old man like me on New Year's Eve."

Doctor Pei raised the cup towards Jiang Rou, expressing his gratitude with an unconcealable smile on his face.

He had originally thought that if he was alone on New Year's Eve, he might as well go to the military camp cafeteria and have New Year's Eve dinner with the young soldiers who could not go home.

She never expected that Jiang Rou had invited her in advance since New Year's Eve.

Song Yanjin continued.

"Sister-in-law was so busy today! She spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen. I called her out but she refused to come out. She insisted on cooking so many meals for us. Sister-in-law, thank you so much for letting me have a good New Year."

The enthusiasm of these two people has made Jiang Rou unable to cope.

I didn’t expect that even Zhou Chongshan would say that.

"Thank you for your hard work, wife."

Not only have you worked hard today, but you have also worked hard throughout the year.

All of a sudden, the teacup that had just been put down was picked up again.

Jiang Rou couldn't drink alcohol, so she drank tea instead, and the few of them clinked their glasses again.

After Zhou Xiaohua saw it, she immediately raised her little hand and said.

"Mom, I want one too, I want one too!"

Jiang Rou turned the teacup around, and Zhou Xiaohua touched it lightly, making a crisp sound.

The little girl was happy, holding her small cup, and walked towards Zhou Xiaochuan and Liu Gensheng.

"Brother, cheers~"

[]~(￣▽￣)~*

The New Year’s Eve dinner went on very well in such a happy atmosphere.

Zhou Chongshan drank some wine, which was rare for him, and poured wine for Doctor Pei and Song Yan.

Since his retirement, Dr. Pei has been drinking a few sips of it at every dinner.

But it happened today.

He waved his hands and refused, "Old man, I have to stay up tonight to celebrate the New Year. I won't drink today."

Not only was he rejected by Doctor Pei Jun, but even Song Yan rejected him.

"Zhou Tuan, I don't drink either."

Zhou Chongshan asked in confusion, "You're not on duty tomorrow, what's the matter? Have you given up drinking?"

Song Yan was too young to hide anything, let alone in front of Zhou Chongshan, so he dared not lie.

He stammered and spoke with difficulty, "I...I have to write a letter when I go back tonight. I have to stay sober when writing letters and not drink."

Write a letter?

Zhou Chongshan was even more confused now. Why couldn't he write letters at any time, especially on New Year's Eve?

Jiang Rou understood it immediately.

She smiled and said, "Song Yan, write well. I'll wait for your good news."

"Sister-in-law, I will definitely write well!"

Seeing this.

Zhou Chongshan didn't ask any more questions and put away the wine bottle.

He himself doesn't like drinking very much, and after Jiang Rou became pregnant, she became sensitive to smells. If it weren't for the special day today, he wouldn't drink at all.

This is just right, no one wants to drink.

The night was getting darker outside, and the atmosphere inside was getting warmer.

The hot and noisy meal took almost three hours.

Song Yan had finished his meal and couldn't stay any longer, so he was the first to run away.

"Zhou Tuan, sister-in-law, I'm so sorry! I really have to go back. I wish you a happy new year! See you next year!"

He was anxious to get back and write.

Doctor Pei didn't drink, but he was still staggering when he stood up.

"I am an old man and I will not bother you any more. This is the best meal I have ever had. See you next year."

He was leaning on a crutch in his hand and glanced at Jiang Rou as he turned to leave.

Jiang Rou nodded towards Doctor Pei.

The door opened, and the cold wind outside blew on his body instantly. Doctor Pei Jun tightened his coat and walked out slowly.

After his figure gradually disappeared.

Jiang Rou cried out in surprise.

"Ah... I didn't take Doctor Pei's scarf. It's so cold, what if I freeze?"

While they were talking here, Liu Gensheng had already spoken.

"Give it to me, I'll deliver it to Master Pei."

"Okay, Gensheng, put on your coat and hat before you go out, so you don't get frozen."

"Well, I'll be back soon."

Liu Gensheng put on his coat and hat, held the scarf that Doctor Pei had "dropped" with both hands, and ran out in the direction Doctor Pei had left.

During this period, Zhou Chongshan vaguely saw something.

He turned to look at Jiang Rou with questioning eyes.

Jiang Rou smiled and nodded at him.

The time has come. Today is the day.

The other side.

Liu Gensheng quickly caught up with Doctor Pei and handed the scarf to him.

However, he did not leave immediately, but accompanied Doctor Pei home.

Help Doctor Pei open the door, pour hot water, and make the bed...

While he was busy, Doctor Pei called him.

"Gensheng, stop busying yourself and come and talk to Grandpa."

"good."

Liu Gensheng immediately put down what he was doing and walked up to Doctor Pei.

Doctor Pei Jun's eyes were clear, his face was flushed, and he looked extremely serious.

He didn't drink tonight just for this moment.

"Gensheng, I have accepted you as my apprentice for several months. How do you feel about it? Do you like learning from me?"

"I like it. Master Pei knows a lot. I have only learned a little bit now. I want to learn for the rest of my life."

"A lifetime...hahaha..." Doctor Pei smiled, bent down, and got closer to Liu Gensheng. "Gensheng, are you willing to be my grandson?"

Liu Gensheng was stunned for a moment.

Doctor Pei continued to speak slowly.

"Gensheng, I've liked you a lot these days. You're down-to-earth, hardworking, and willing to endure hardships. You're a rare good kid. In the future, we'll be a family, I'll be the grandfather, and you'll be the grandson, just like you and the previous grandfather. What do you think?"

"Grandpa..."

Liu Gensheng looked up at Doctor Pei, stunned for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

It's Grandpa...

His grandpa?

Before the little head could react to what was happening, tears already welled up in the eyes.

"Good boy, why are you crying? Today is New Year's Eve, you can't cry. If you are willing, just nod your head, and don't worry about other things, I will talk to Jiang girl."

Doctor Pei's old, rough hands stroked Liu Gensheng's face and wiped his tears.

This feeling is exactly the same as the old blind man's.

Liu Gensheng cried even harder.

He sobbed and nodded, "Grandpa..."
