Chapter 22 Section 22

New Year's Eve dinner, eight dishes and one soup. Anan said that this means "for a long time".He also talked about a series of plans. For example, after the Chinese New Year, he will start doing business in Beijing. When he has enough money, he will buy a house, take his grandma over, and sell the old car in his hometown to buy a new car in Beijing. , Take Xia Hua and I to Bali for vacation this summer and so on. "Don't worry about investing that money!" Xia Hua said, "I believe in your ability!" "Be careful with your new clothes, don't spill grape juice on them." Anan reminded her with a smile.

Xia Hua and I both wore new clothes, which we went shopping together yesterday afternoon.Of course, Anan is the one who pays the bill. He goes shopping with the two women tirelessly. Even if we buy a pair of socks, he follows us and pays with a smile. Xia Hua pointed at me and said, "Didn't you see, I'm the main wife, and she's the mistress! So the more expensive one belongs to me!" The little girl's mouth was wide open, I stuffed all the clothes into Xia Hua's hands and said, "Mom, you can pick whatever you want, and I'll buy the one you choose."

Anan laughed, he should have paid 600 yuan, but he gave 700 yuan.Xia Hua snatched back the extra hundred yuan, and said with a kiss: "Although we are rich, one hundred yuan is also very important to us!" Look at how she loves money like life, she is exactly like Ling Guoguo!When I think of this, I can't help but worry about Anan! Anan opened a bottle of wine for himself: "Xiao Zhe is the same guy. He said he would drink with me and ran home again. Ma Zhuo, to be honest, are you guys having a fight?" "Xiao Zhe is useless," Xia Hua said, "It's not the dish my Ma Zhuo asked for."

"It's because fate didn't come." Anan smiled honestly. I haven't seen Xiao Zhe since that night, but I still receive text messages from him one after another: "Already home." "Take a look in the sky." "It's zero degrees here, warmer than Beijing." His text messages are always sent like telegrams, without sadness or joy.I'm sorry for him, of course, but I can't say anything about it.I don't know why, but I am afraid to look at the sky at night, and I am afraid to think of his great theory of "waiting for a star in my life".In front of Xiao Zhe, I will always be that indebted character who cannot be confident.Therefore, it often seems to have the upper hand, but it is never a winner.

The New Year's Eve dinner was all arranged by Anan, and he refused to let the two of us intervene.A table of dishes was presented, which was full of color, flavor and taste. Not to mention his culinary skills are getting better day by day, he must have prepared it meticulously.Sometimes I can't believe there are people like Anan in this world.It seems that my whole life exists for the existence of others, and I have a heart almost like an angel.The most terrible thing is that he takes pleasure in this, and he doesn't even realize how great he is.Before dinner, Xia Hua was immersed in texting, and I was texting too.Anan looked at us and sighed, "You two are sitting in front of me, I don't have anyone to text."

"I sent it to my dead brother." Xia Hua said, "The old Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't answer his phone calls, and he was always in the dark. The two of him ate together. Our siblings have been living together for ten years, and now one is in the south and the other is in the north. Even if I die, he will not know until several years later." "Don't talk nonsense for those who celebrate the Chinese New Year! If you don't wait until the Chinese New Year is over, let him come to Beijing to see you," Anan finished speaking, and quickly added, "If you are afraid, we can avoid it."

"What am I afraid of!" Xia Hua quickly raised her wine glass and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, come on, father, sister, let's have a toast, and wish you better year after year!" Anan clinked glasses with us and said, "I also wish you both good health and more and more beautiful!" As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Xia Hua and Anan looked at each other, wondering who it could be.I got up first and ran to open the door. I saw him standing at the door, holding a big bag of gifts in one hand and a bottle of Wuliangye in the other. He smiled and said to me, "Happy New Year, Miss Ma."

I lowered my head and let him in, and the two people in the room stood up in surprise. "Damn!" Xia Hua screamed, throwing away the chopsticks in her hand, rushed to the door in two or three steps, and hugged him.Both of his hands were full of things, so he couldn't hug her back, so he could only touch her with his cheek and say, "Surprise, happiness?" "Surprise, happiness, happiness!" Xia Hua let go of him, punched me on the chest and said, "It's too much, you dare to hide such a big thing from me!" "It was my idea." After Poison finished speaking, he handed the bag of gifts to me, walked straight to the dining table with the wine bottle, and said to Anan who was in a dream, "Uncle, let me drink with you, How are you?"

He called him uncle, and he had been thinking about this title for a long time.But no matter what, he looked so polite and impeccable in his words and deeds.I have to admit that, compared with that muddy boy back then, he has already been reborn as if he was reborn.At this moment, if I were Anan, I don't think there is anything to find fault with him. "Dad, I'm sorry. Xia Ze didn't tell you before I came here because I never knew how to speak." I went up to explain to Anan, feeling extremely nervous. "Yes, it was a little sudden." My nervousness seemed to be transmitted to Anan, and he stammered, "Huan, welcome. Ma Zhuo, hurry up and add some tableware."

"If you want to blame it, blame me." Poison said, "I'm afraid Xia Hua will find out and won't let me come." "Be careful you'll be kicked out now too." Xia Hua threatened him by knocking on the table with her chopsticks. "I'm not afraid, Ma Zhuo will protect me." He actually flirted with me so openly in front of Anan.My face wasn't red, it was almost green, so I quickly got up and went to the kitchen to fetch the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses for him.Xia Hua came inside and asked me in a low voice, "What's going on, it's a little sudden!"

I shrugged and said I had no comment. She came close to my ear and asked me, "Dad is stupid, what's wrong?" "Better stupid than crazy," I whispered. Xia Hua poked me hard on the forehead, and ran out first with a grin.I returned to the living room with the bowls and chopsticks, and found that Poison was already showing Anan the tea set and tea leaves he had brought. "I only have half a catty of this kind of Dahongpao in my store. I will brew a pot for you after eating. It is very delicious. This set of tea sets is also specially selected for you. It comes from Jingdezhen. There are four cups in one pot, hand-drawn, But it's an orphan." Anan picked up a cup, studied it against the light for a long time and said, "It's really good, it's really good, but I can't accept such an expensive thing." "Uncle, you are out of touch," Poison said, "A good horse matches a good saddle, and a good tea matches a good man. You can afford it." "It seems that you are really the boss?" Xia Hua interjected, "By the way, you didn't smash and snatch the teahouse here, did you?" "Sister," he said gently, "it's the New Year's Eve, can you save some face for me?" Alas, it is really difficult for him to do this, even if it is just pretending.In order to support him, I hurriedly greeted everyone and said, "Come on, if you don't cook, the food will be cold." Everyone went back to the table and sat down one by one. Poison opened the wine he brought and changed the wine in front of Anan. They each poured a full glass, stood up and raised their glasses to Anan and said: "Uncle, First of all, thank you for accepting me as an uninvited guest to come to your house for the New Year, and thank you for taking care of my sister these days. Your great kindness, we sister and brother will remember forever. The most important thing is to thank you Yes, you have worked so hard to bring up Ma Zhuo so that I can have such a good girl as my life partner. In the future, you can rest assured to give her to me. I swear to take good care of her and not let her suffer any grievances. Let her listen to her, as long as she is happy, everything is fine! As for me, I am a rough person and can't speak. If you are not satisfied with my performance in the future, you can just mention it, and I will definitely change it! Not much to say, I Let's do it first!" After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank the whole glass of wine. I can't describe Anan's expression, let alone guess his mood at this time.Seeing him also readily finish off a glass of wine, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Or Xia Hua will adjust the atmosphere, refill the wine for them and say: "The lines are good, how long have you been practicing?" "Just for one night," he said, "I'm not so stupid as your brother." "I thought you died in Shenzhen." Xia Hua said, "You could have run away on the day I got married. If you were here, I wouldn't have to escape so embarrassingly." "It's a shame to say it!" Poison said, "Did you greet me when you got into trouble?" "That's right!" Xia Hua drank the grape juice in one gulp, picked up the wine bottle and poured herself some wine, and said, "It's my sister's fault, come here, have a drink and apologize!" "No!" The first person to stop him was Anan. "Let me drink a little, just a little!" Xia Hua acted like a baby to Anan. "Drink it when you recover from illness." Poison grabbed the wine bottle in her hand and poured her another full glass of grape juice. Hearing what Poison said, Xia Hua's hands visibly shook, and she turned to look at me, and I looked out the window with a guilty conscience. "Don't look at her." Poison said, "I still don't understand your temper. If it wasn't for something serious, there would be eight phone calls a day instead of ten! I've said it before, your brother and I are not that stupid. I'm sick. Just go to the hospital for treatment, go to cheat some money and jump off some cliffs, just make some mistakes at a young age, and do these things at seventy or eighty, it's embarrassing!" "I don't want to talk to you." Xia Hua argued strongly. "It's all right." Anan smoothed things over, "The doctor said it's all right." "Drink!" Poison raised the cup to Xia Hua. Anan interrupted: "It's cold, drink less." Xia Hua chuckled and picked up the cup.Poison clinked glasses with her and said: "Don't think that people like Yu bald are just for nothing. You are sensible and know how to pay back the money that shouldn't be asked. Otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't be here with me this New Year's Eve." Cheers, but cry and burn paper money for me!" After hearing this, Xia Hua looked at Anan and then at me. The cup in her hand hit the table with a "bang", the person bounced up, and ran into the back room with a "swoosh". Just by looking at Anan's expression, I knew it was over.
