The real He Siyan wasn't as aloof as he was portrayed in the novel. He would run around for his younger brother's wedding, smile warmly when Xiaoxiao rushed over to him, and rush out with vegetables to fight someone without a word because he was worried his younger brother would get hurt...
This He Siyan is actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He is much more rounded and down-to-earth than the character in the novel.
Fan Xi felt that this elder brother was much wiser than she had imagined!
To thank her brother, she took out a note from her pocket and put it in He Siyan's hand, "Brother, I will help you here. The rest is up to you. Come on!"
He Siyan opened the note with confusion and started reading it. On it were some information about Xie Yuting's home phone number, address, and other basic information and preferences about Xie Yuting that Fan Xi and Geng Ailing had specially summarized when they went to look for Xie Yuchuan yesterday.
He Siyan's ears turned slightly red instantly. This sister-in-law is really... really too considerate!
Fan Xi and Zhao Yilu looked at each other with an unnatural expression on He Siyan's face, and it turned out that their elder brother really liked this gift!
After a while, the food started to arrive. Wang Guifen put some food on a small plate and asked He Zhengxiang to offer it to the ancestors. Zhao Yilu took some firecrackers, tied them to bamboo poles, and took Fan Youfu to the yard to set them off...
Fan Yu and Sun Simin quickly covered the ears of the two little ones, fearing that they would be frightened by the sound of firecrackers.
The sound of firecrackers crackled, and the whole yard was instantly filled with the strong flavor of the New Year, indicating that the new year is about to begin in a prosperous manner!
After the sacrifice, everyone took their seats. The table was filled with delicious dishes, making everyone drool...
"Dinner is ready!" Wang Guifen shouted loudly.
Zhao Yilu poured wine for everyone one by one and distributed bowls and chopsticks. Of course, his wife's drinking habit was only suitable for drinking tea, so Zhao Yilu would not let her touch alcohol again.
After filling his glass, Zhao Yilu smiled and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa, can you say a few words to everyone?"
He Zhengxiang glared at Zhao Yilu, but still stood up with his wine glass. "I'm just a rough guy, so I won't say anything. I just know that this year has been the happiest year for me, He Zhengxiang. We're all getting old, and I don't know if you'll still be healthy when you come home for the New Year next time..."
Wang Guifen, who was standing by, immediately slapped him. "Pfft, pfft... You really don't know how to talk. It's New Year's Day, and you're saying something unlucky."
He Zhengxiang immediately changed his tone and said, "Your grandma is right. We should say something auspicious during the New Year." Then he looked at Zhao Xubai who was standing beside him and said, "Old Zhao, you are a cultured person. Come and add some information."
Zhao Xubai glanced at He Zhengxiang, then slowly stood up with his wine glass. He coughed softly and said, "While your grandfather's words may sound plain, they hold true meaning. Our family has weathered so many storms, and it's truly not easy to be together on this reunion night. We're all getting old, so we'll cherish every passing year!"
"In this new year, I wish us old ones good health and longevity; I wish you young ones success in your studies and careers, like the roc spreading its wings; and I wish our two little ones at home to be smart and healthy!"
"We are about to enter the 1980s. I hope that our family can live a prosperous and prosperous life in this era!" After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Everyone applauded and cheered, and drank it all in one gulp as well.
Afterwards, everyone started to use their chopsticks to taste the delicacies on the table. Even Yuyu and Xiaoxiao, who were sitting on the armchairs, ate a lot of snacks with their few remaining baby teeth.
The meaning of the Chinese New Year is probably to use a sense of ritual to tell everyone that the new year is about to begin, new opportunities and new hopes are about to begin, and the previous unhappiness and misfortunes will also be turned over, and everything will get better and better!
