Chapter 14 New Year's Eve Dinner

"You want to come over to celebrate the New Year together?"

Ding Yi's mother seemed a little surprised. Her son hadn't made this request for many years, but she quickly refused, "What are you doing here? Your dad and I are just doing a small business. It all depends on the Chinese New Year. You come here We have to take care of you distractedly. Your dad and I are getting old, and we can’t make money outside for a few years, so we just want to work hard in the past few years. We work so hard, and it’s all for the future. Your burden, besides, Chinese New Year doesn't have much flavor now, you can meet at any time, so don't make trouble at this time, you are such an old person, and you are so ignorant."

She was yelling on the other end of the phone, as if her son was so disobedient and unreasonable.

Ding Yi was silent for a while, then said, "I see."

The mother and son had nothing to say next, so they hung up the phone.

Throwing the phone on the table, Ding Yi had nowhere to vent the feeling in his heart.

……

Zhou Lin first went to school to pick up his younger brother Zhou Shi, and the two went to the mall to buy New Year's goods together.

Zhou Lin is not married yet, so logically speaking, he is the son of the family, so he doesn't need to buy these things when he goes home for dinner during the Chinese New Year.

But Zhou Lin bought it. Ever since he graduated and officially moved out of the house, he has always felt like a "guest".

He bought two bottles of good wine for his father, two wild ginsengs for his stepmother, Li Qing, and two large boxes of snacks.

There are not too many things, but they are not small in size. Together, the two brothers' hands are full.

After buying all the things to go home, Zhou Lin took a look at Zhou Shi and asked him, "What do you want for this year's Chinese New Year?"

To my younger brother, Zhou Lin has always been generous as an older brother.

And Zhou Shi was also very reliable, even though he knew that his brother was not short of money, he didn't open his mouth casually.

"There's nothing I want. Let's talk about it when I think about it. I still have enough pocket money."

He can get a sum of pocket money from his father every month, and occasionally his brother will give him some, so he is not short of money.

Zhou Lin didn't say anything, and he didn't necessarily ask his younger brother to buy something to show that he, as an older brother, is considerate and will take care of others.

After shopping, the two had lunch outside together. In the afternoon, Zhou Lin sent Zhou Shi home.

Zhou Lin didn't go up, and asked Zhou Shi to take the things upstairs.

If his father asked about it, he would say that he was busy with work, and his father would usually not ask further questions.

When Zhou Lin returned to his home, he was not interested in celebrating the New Year either.

In the evening, Zhou Shi sent a message.

[Dad told you not to spend money on buying things, there is nothing missing at home, and let you go home early for the New Year after you are busy. 】

Zhou Lin: [I just started working, and I'm sure I won't be able to finish it in a while. Tell Dad for me that I will go home for the New Year's Eve dinner. 】

Zhou Shi: [ Got it. 】

Zhou Lin put down his phone, thinking that this topic was over.

After a while, Zhou Shi sent another message.

[I heard from Li Yiyi just now that she seems to be going on a trip during the Chinese New Year. She has always wanted to go to Hainan Island. Dad has already agreed. Brother, if you want to go, will you go? 】

Nowadays, many families go out for a trip during the Chinese New Year, so it is not too unexpected a decision.

Zhou Lin didn't think about it, so he just replied to him: [Let's talk about it when the time comes, Dad didn't say how many people will go together, if you want to go, just tell Dad first. 】

If you want to go in your heart, but keep silent, and then say that you don't want to go, and leave him out, then it will be unhappy.

Zhou Shi: [I don't particularly want to go, anyway, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. 】

Zhou Shi's character is not awkward, Zhou Lin didn't take it seriously when he heard him say that.

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Lin received a call from his father early in the morning, asking him to go back early for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Only once a year, Zhou Lin didn't worry about the time for half a day. He changed his clothes, took the car keys, and prepared to go home.

The moment the elevator door opened, Zhou Lin was a little surprised by his fate with Ding Yi.

It is rare to get out of the door, and you can also meet your neighbors in the elevator.

It could be seen that Ding Yi had the same surprise and astonishment as he did.

"Going out?"

Ding Yi asked a universal greeting between neighbors.

Zhou Lin nodded: "Yes, go out, haven't you been home during the Chinese New Year?"

He was the only one in this man's house, his parents were not around, and he didn't hear any movement upstairs, so his parents must have not come to celebrate the New Year together.

Ding Yi's expression was indifferent and did not change at all.

"I won't go back. Everyone is busy during the Chinese New Year, and there are not a few days off. I have to catch the Spring Festival travel rush. It's too hard for a meal. It's not worth it."

It is indeed the truth.

While talking, the elevator reached the ground floor, and the two got out of the elevator one after the other, Zhou Lin drove away from the community, and Ding Yi walked to the nearest vegetable market.

When celebrating the New Year alone, you always have to buy something to eat and drink.

It didn't take much time for Zhou Lin to drive back to his father's house.

Their family has lived in this community for many years, Zhou Lin just got out of the car and met a familiar neighbor.

"Zhou Lin is back?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"I haven't seen you for a while. You are still so tall and handsome. I saw your brother come back with big bags two days ago. You bought them for me, right? Zhou Lin, you are so filial, smart, and able to make money. My family If that kid is half as good as you, I can wake up laughing at night from my dreams."

Zhou Lin said a few words to the enthusiastic neighbor aunt before leaving.

He knocked on the door of the house, and Li Qing came to open the door.

"came back?"

Li Qing let him into the room.

Chicken soup was stewed on the pot in the kitchen, and the aroma permeated the whole room. At a glance, you could see wonton wrappers and meat fillings on the dining room table, as well as boxes of wrapped wontons.

Li Yiyi was still making wontons at the dining table, and Zhou Chengyu, the father, was also helping each other.

It does have some old flavor.

"Well, auntie, go and do your work. Zhou is in the room, right? I'll go and see him."

Zhou Lin bought a large bag of fruit on the way here, and after handing it to Li Qing, he turned and went to Zhou Shi's room.

Zhou Chengan and Li Yiyi were making wontons there, and when Zhou Lin came back, they didn't say anything, they just said "I'm back", which was a greeting between father and son.

Zhou Lin entered Zhou Shi's room, Zhou Shi turned on the air conditioner, dressed thinly, holding his laptop and typing on the keyboard seriously.

"Brother, you are here."

Zhou Shi looked up and said.

Zhou Lin went over and sat down on the chair in front of the desk, watching his fingers fly, faster than he could write novels and code words.

"Play games?"

Zhou Shi nodded: "Well, it's okay to fight casually."

Zhou Lin took out his mobile phone to check the news, and started reading novels after reading the news, without disturbing his younger brother.

He didn't ask why his younger brother didn't go out to make wontons with his father. Ever since he was a child, Li Qing didn't let the two of them do the work in the kitchen, saying that boys don't need to do these jobs, just read more books when they have time. up.

Now, there is no need for anyone else to say that if Zhou Lin and Zhou Shi enter the kitchen to help, his father will run out to stop him first. Boys who enter the kitchen can't do anything, so go back to the room and read.

Zhou Lin read the novel, lost his mind thinking about things, and suddenly there was a cool sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Shi just finished playing a game, so he could clearly see his brother's expression.

"Brother, are you in a bad mood?"

Zhou Lin raised his head and did not directly answer his question.

"You are in college now, what are your plans for working after graduation?"

Zhou Lin never expected his father to be their life mentor for such things as life planning, he had already experienced it once in his own growth process.

Zhou Shi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, maybe I'll go to graduate school."

Four years in college, plus two or three years as a graduate student, it will be six or seven years after he graduates.

Zhou Lin was still thinking about the topic of graduate students, so Zhou Shi added another sentence.

"Didn't Auntie and Dad say it? Boys should study hard and read more books. I'm going to get a Ph.D. too."

Zhou Lin: "..."

Then it will take nearly ten years until the official work.

Zhou Lin: "Have you made up your mind to stay at home?"

Zhou Shi smiled slyly, "Brother, this is our home, how can it be called Lai? I still think about marrying a wife in the future and letting Dad take care of my children."

His family's sexual orientation has determined that there will be no such problem in the future.

Zhou Lin opened his mouth, wanting to persuade his brother that there is no need to make himself unhappy, while being disgusting, can he be happy in his heart?

Zhou Shi didn't think so, he said: "Brother, don't worry about it, you live out now, you can live a quiet life by yourself, I have my own thoughts, I am so old, can you still be afraid of me being at a disadvantage?" ?”

Of course, Zhou Shi is not a temperament that will suffer.

Zhou Lin watched his younger brother grow up. When their mother died, his younger brother was only five years old and didn't understand anything. Later, his father remarried. Life wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad. The girl was brought by Li Qing's own mother, and she was also young, so Zhou Cheng'an, the stepfather, shifted his attention to the youngest child.

No matter how well Zhou Lin protects his younger brother, he is still a child, and he cannot avoid the injuries he suffered while growing up, and his younger brother cannot avoid it even more.

Raising children is not just about feeding and clothing.

Li Qing intentionally or unintentionally pushed the two brothers out of their small family of three. Zhou Lin felt that he was too temperamental. Since his father could ignore his two sons, he could also be without a father.

Anyway, he didn't have a mother when he was a child, and he didn't care about losing a dispensable father.

But Zhou Shi's temper was different from his. After he bought the house, he told Zhou Shi that he could move out to live with him, but Zhou Shi didn't agree.

He still goes home when he is free, and asks his dad for some pocket money when he has nothing to do. He has a sense of presence at home.

Probably when Li Qing saw Zhou Shi, he didn't show it on his face, but he was so angry that he was dying.

Now that Zhou Shi is older, Zhou Lin feels that he, the older brother, shouldn't interfere with him too much.

"Okay, you can figure it out for yourself. The most important thing is that you live a good life. Nothing else is a big deal. Just an unreliable father. If Li Yiyi and his mother want it, just give it to them." .”

In the days when you are trapped in trivial matters, even if you win someone, there is nothing to show off.

Zhou Shi nodded.

"I know, brother, I'm not stupid. Anyway, there's no harm in studying for a graduate school or a Ph. D. I'd like to study for a few more years and not have to experience the beatings of the society too early."

Seeing that his younger brother had already made up his mind, Zhou Lin also shut up.

The two brothers were in the room, one was reading novels, the other was playing games, and they were not called out until lunch.

It is rare for a family of five to sit and eat together.

Zhou Chengyu looked very happy, and greeted his two sons to eat.

"Zhou Lin, Zhou Shi, eat more. Today, your aunt went to buy vegetables early in the morning. I will have a reunion dinner with you when you come back, and there will be a big dinner in the evening."

Zhou Lin just said "OK" lightly.

Zhou Shi looked very happy and said, "Okay, I'm going to try Auntie's handicrafts tonight, Yiyi also made wontons, let's put them in the hot pot together to try at night, my sister is really capable, and my brother will eat it later It's all up to you!"

Li Yiyi wrinkled her nose, but said nothing. After all, she was just a little girl in junior high school who wanted to save face, and was taught by her mother not to want to bicker with her brother who was not related by blood.

Seeing the "harmony" between his brother and sister, Zhou Chengan was in a very good mood.

And Li Qing just glanced at Zhou Shi, didn't say anything, just picked up food for his daughter.

Zhou Lin watched the whole process like an outsider, and the meal was tasteless.

In the afternoon, it suddenly snowed.

Zhou Linwo was reading novels in Zhou Shi's room, and it was quite lively outside. Their place is neither south nor north, and when it snows, everyone was very excited. He checked Moments, and they were all in Shooting snow scenes.

Zhou Lin watched the snow all afternoon by the window.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is eaten earlier than usual, and it starts at four o’clock. After eating, there are basically activities. I have appointments for playing cards, drinking tea, and the young children basically go to the movies. It’s not like they used to stay at home. Watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Lin and his three little ones took the lucky money from Zhou Cheng'an and his wife, and this year was considered to have come to an end.

"Just sleep at home tonight."

Zhou Chengan made an appointment to play cards with a few friends, and he did not forget to tell Zhou Lin before leaving.

Zhou Lin didn't answer, and watched his father go out.

Only Zhou Lin brothers and Li Qing's mother and daughter were left at home. Li Yiyi took her mother to act like a baby. She wanted to go out to watch a movie with her classmates, but it was snowing outside, and Li Qing didn't agree. Soft and hard foam.

When Zhou Lin saw Zhou, he had already picked up the phone again, changed the game and continued the war, and ignored him.

"Auntie, it's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Zhou Lin took the car keys and walked out the door.

Li Qing also came over to see him off and said, "Be careful on the road."

He didn't hold back a word, and the relationship with his stepson was not only polite but also very unfamiliar.

Zhou Lin nodded, and it wasn't until he went downstairs and sat back in the car that he felt the puff of breath in his chest dissipated.

go home.

The author has something to say:

Well, Zhou Xiaolin is going home. For the Chinese New Year, it’s better to spend it with your future husband to be happy
