Chapter 833 Thanksgiving
"Son, it's time to eat!"

"Okay, come on."

Li Dong said a few words in a hurry, then hung up the phone. For the New Year's Eve dinner, his parents came back again, so he didn't want to make people wait.

The food has already been served. There are sixteen dishes on the whole table. In Dongshan, the number of dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner is very particular, not only must be an even number, but also auspicious.

If there are few people in the family, there are usually eight dishes and ten dishes. If there are many families, there are usually sixteen dishes and eighteen dishes. It is either "smooth" or "sent".

In terms of prosperity, the family is already very prosperous now, so take the word "smooth", everything must go smoothly, smooth sailing, and everything will go smoothly.

"It's so rich." Li Dong swallowed his saliva. In the past few years when his mother went out, Li Dong doesn't know anything else, but his cooking skills have definitely improved a lot.

He just sat down when the phone in his pocket rang again.

Li Dong sighed, it seems that tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is not for leisure, since the afternoon until now, the phone calls have not stopped, one after another, people you know, people you don't know, domestic and foreign, listen Seeing the foreigner say Happy New Year in sloppy Chinese, well, anyway, Li Dong feels weird.

Li Dong glanced at the caller ID, and it was another unfamiliar number. Li Dong looked at the people around the dining table, and simply turned off both mobile phones. It's a big deal, let's talk about it after I finish the New Year's Eve dinner.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Sit down, coming here is like coming to your own home, and you are not an outsider." Li Dong said to Lin Jing, Lin Hai and Hu Xue who were standing aside.

"That's right, they are all from my own family, why are you being polite, sit down quickly." Wang Hongyan also greeted warmly.

Lin Jing and Hu Xue just sat down, Lin Hai went to the side to get wine and juice, and asked, "Uncle, Aunt, what do you drink?"

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve dinner is only once a year. Of course it's for drinking." Li Zhongzhi said with a smile.

Wang Hongyan gave her husband a blank look. She said this as if she didn't drink alcohol normally, but tonight is New Year's Eve, so she was happy, so she didn't stop her, and said, "Pour me some too."

"Okay." Lin Hai filled the wine glass in front of his uncle, poured half a glass for his aunt, then filled it for Li Dong, poured half a glass for his sister and Hu Xue, and poured a whole glass for himself.

He didn't ask his sister and Hu Xue what to drink. The elders are superior, so if you don't know how to drink, you have to drink a few sips. Otherwise, when the toast is held, the elders will serve the wine and the younger will take the juice. It doesn't seem to be the case.

After a table of people was poured, a bottle of wine just bottomed out.

"Dad, don't rush to drink, just say a few words." Li Dong saw his father staring at the wine glass with bright eyes, so he said something quickly, for fear that his father would not be able to wait for a sip.

What Xiaohai took today was Moutai, and it was not an ordinary Moutai. It had been hidden for more than 15 years. What my father used to drink was brewed by himself, or it was in bulk. How can it compare with this?So as soon as I smell the wine, my throat starts to move.

"Oh, okay, let me say a few words." Li Zhongzhi came back to his senses, and his eyes shifted from the wine glass to the other people present, "The days go by so fast, as you go by, you will all grow up, Xiao Jing And Xiaohai, I watched you grow up, Xiaoxue, you are my goddaughter, and we will marry Xiaohai next year, we will really become a family, as the old saying goes, if you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, you want to be a family People have more destiny, come, raise the wine glasses, today, let's have a toast to be able to become a family."

"Okay!" Lin Hai applauded while applauding, and then raised his glass, "We are destined to be a family, uncle, what you said is really good."

"Okay, don't flatter me, it's all from my own family, there's no need." Li Dong said to Lin Hai, but when it comes to the "fate" that his father said, Li Dong really believes it now.

Lin Jing and Lin Hai are neighbors on the same street. Needless to say, Xiaoxue's family is out of town, and they are strangers who are out of reach. As a result, Wu Shaohua came to Dongshan to work in a drugstore, and finally met Xiaoxue. After losing his sister, and marrying Xiao Hai, isn't this fate?
when!
The six wine glasses met together, although there was no spark from the collision, it made the New Year's Eve dinner lively and warm.

"Xiaojing, Xiaoxue, eat and try my handicraft."

After taking a sip and putting down the cup, Wang Hongyan couldn't wait to add vegetables to the bowls in front of Lin Jing and Hu Xue, for fear that they would not be able to let go and would be too embarrassed to eat.

Hu Xue ate a piece of braised pork, then nodded sharply, and said with a smile, "Well, it's delicious, godmother, you cook really well, you have to teach me in the future."

Lin Jing also took a piece and put it in her mouth, "Well, it's soft and glutinous, moderately sweet and salty, really delicious."

"Haha, I learned this from an old lady in her 70s. The local people say that the old lady's ancestors used to be the imperial cook in the palace and cooked for the emperor. The recipes are her traditional recipes. My secret, we cured the frostbite on her hand, and she taught me this hand to thank us." Wang Hongyan said proudly.

"Imperial chef? Cooked for the emperor? Then we are really lucky." Lin Hai said with a smile, "I want to eat too." After speaking, he took a piece of chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's delicious, it's so delicious , I need to eat more."

"In the future, I will teach Xiaoxue to do it for you every day." Wang Hongyan said.

"Hey!" Lin Hai smirked when he heard it, and two red clouds floated on Hu Xue's face.

After eating for a while, Lin Jing picked up the cup, looked at Li Zhongzhi and Wang Hongyan, and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I would like to toast you, thank you for calling us here, my father and mother have passed away for ten years, you let me have It feels like home." As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

Meals can be eaten at ordinary times, and wine can be drunk at ordinary times, but on New Year's Eve, a table of New Year's Eve dinner has a special meaning.

Sitting here reminded her of her parents and her childhood.

She hasn't felt this way for a long time

Lin Hai, who was laughing and laughing at the side, also became quiet when he heard what his sister said. The siblings are connected, and he can feel his sister's mood at this moment.

"Xiao Jing, this will be your home from now on." Wang Hongyan's eyes are also red, and Lin Jing's hard work for so many years, as a neighbor, has seen all of the emotional things of a woman, so she can completely understand what the other party said. .

After Lin Jing finished respecting her uncle and aunt, she looked at Li Dong who was at the side, "Li Dong, I want to toast you too."

"Respect me? Respect me for what?" Li Dong asked.

"Xiaohai is my younger brother. He is the only family member I have. Before, he was my heart disease. I was always worried about his future. But since you came back, you have not only arranged a job for him, but also changed his personality. He changed from a bastard who had nothing to do all day, to a human being, he cured my heart disease, thank you," Lin Jing said seriously.

"Look at what you said. Ever since I was a child, Xiao Hai has always called me Brother Dong. Can I make him call me Brother Dong for nothing? Besides, Xiao Hai's present appearance is also the result of his own hard work. If he doesn't live up to it , the company will be ruined in a few days, and will it grow bigger and bigger?" Li Dong said, and then raised his glass, "Actually, you really should toast me, but it's not to change Xiaohai, but to thank me for bringing Xiaoxue."

Lin Jing was startled when she heard that, and then she remembered that without Li Dong, there would be no Hu Xue, "Well, you're right, I'll punish myself."

"Actually, I should be the one who should thank you the most!" Hu Xue stood up, and said with red eyes, "Godfather, Godmother, Brother Li, Sister Jing, and Xiaohai, it was you who took me in and made me feel safe." No matter how lonely I am, I am no longer alone, I..." As he spoke, the whole person began to sob.

"Stop, stop!" Li Dong said hurriedly, "It's a good New Year's Eve, we're all crying, we should be happy, well, don't respect anyone, eat quickly, watch the Spring Festival Gala after dinner, set off firecrackers , Xiao Hai, are the firecrackers ready?"

"Okay, there's a whole truck!"

"Well, let's watch the fireworks together later!"

"it is good!"
