At this moment, Lixia took out the mahjong and placed it on the table. Zi Peng was still sitting in his original position. Right at this moment, Gui Hong and Liang Shouquan entered the house one after another. After Zipeng and Zi Peng greeted each other, they began to play mahjong. After hitting two strong winds, about one in the afternoon, Lixia looked at her watch and said:
”second brother, the three of you play chess for a while, I will go cook.”
The three of them played three games of chess, and the table was already filled with food. Because it's all ready-made, just warm it up a bit.
12 dishes at noon today: fried chicken, Peking Duck, fried prawns, fried cocoons, sweet and sour carp, plucked silk apples, fragrant phoenix claws, braised beef, stir-fried chilli, squid leeks, powdered cucumber, bean sprout mixed with jellyfish, very rich; also cooked leek filling, pickled dumplings. Zi Peng came in the afternoon of New Year's Eve. He cooked the celery dumplings and had a change of taste today.
Lixia and Zipeng still drink wine, and Guohong and Shou-tao drink white wine. After everyone had filled their cups, Lixia raised her glass and said,
”Today is the second day of the new year, thank you second brother for coming to greet us. I toast the second brother with a toast, I wish him a happy Spring Festival and everything! I also toast to Brother Liang, I wish you a happy Spring Festival and a happy family! ”
The four of them clinked their glasses at the same time and downed their first glass of wine. Then he filled a second glass. Zi Peng raised his wine cup and said,
”Today is the second day of the first month. Thank you, Gui Hong family, for your hospitality. Let me borrow your wine and have a cup with all of you. I wish you a happy Spring Festival, great fortune, family reunion, and great wealth! ”
After Zi Peng finished speaking, he also clinked his wine cup with everyone else and drank his second cup of wine …
After dinner, he then played mahjong with two wind rings. It was already past 6 o'clock in the evening. Zi Peng said his goodbyes and walked back. The three of them walked him to the door, and she watched him disappear into the night.
February 13th, the fourth day of the first month. At 8: 30 AM, the family of three came to pay their respects to Zi Peng.
Inside Zi Peng's house, the previous joyous atmosphere had vanished. Their arrival reinvigorated his family.
After greeting each other, Zi Peng and Tsinghua played mahjong with Lixia and Gui Hong. Xiao Feng brought Cheng Hua back and cooked him. Three mahjong were played in the morning, from nine in the morning until two in the afternoon.
Zi Peng took off the mahjong and placed the dishes on the table, then poured a cup of white wine for Gui Hong and Guang Shen. He, Licheng and Ding Xiaofeng all drank wine, while Xiao Wei and his three daughters drank champagne. Zi Peng raised his wine cup and said,
”Today is the fourth day of the first month of the year. Thank you, Gui Hong, Lixia and Xiao Wei, for coming to pay our respects! Here, let me toast you. I wish you all the best in your new year of hard work and wealth! ”
The four of them clinked their glasses and drained them. After the second cup of wine was filled, Lixia raised her glass and said,
”Today, we came to pay our respects to second brother, but regretfully, my mother died due to an old man, so we were unable to witness the joyous scene. If Mother had known in the underworld, she would have kept us safe. I'll borrow second brother's wine to toast you today. ”
After he finished, they clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp. After filling the third cup of wine, Ding Xiaofeng raised the cup and said:
”I am very happy that my sister and brother-in-law have come to greet us today. If my mother knew underground, she would also be very happy. I toast you and thank you for the New Year greeting on a cold day. ”
She did it himself, and the others took a swig. At this time, Cheng Hua raised his champagne glass and said:
”Auntie, you came all the way here. You must eat and drink well.”
Tsinghua and Yu Hua also said:
”When my grandmother was alive, she would always say hello to me. My aunt is also good to my grandmother, I hope that she and her husband will come visit us often when they have time in the future. Although my grandmother died, she is still my aunt's relative. ”
Lixia was touched by the words of her three nieces. She took over the conversation and said,
”The three nieces are right. We promise to come visit you often in the future. ”I also hope that you will have the time to visit our home often. This way, you'll be able to walk around frequently and also show a bit of convenience.”
After Lixia finished talking, Gui Hong continued,
”That's right, relatives are becoming more and more intimate the more they move around.”
At noon today, Guihong drank three glasses of white wine, Lixia, Xiaofeng and Zipeng drank two bottles of wine, and four of them drank two bottles of champagne. Therefore, they all felt that they had eaten well and drunk well. Thus, the Cheng Hua sisters tidied up the table, and Zi Peng, Gui Hong and Li Xia spoke out. Zi Peng said:
”Normally, the New Year is very lively, but this year, Mom has left. This room seems very empty and lonely.”
Lixia sighed and said with emotion:
”The moment my mother leaves, she made me run until I couldn't take it anymore.” I was filled with joy when I found my mother's love. I found my mother, the great mother who made me proud. But she just left me behind and left first. I feel really bad inside. ”
Zi Peng's feelings for his mother could be said to be the deepest. Since he was young, he had always been dependent on his mother, so how could he not have a deep relationship with her? Now that his mother had left, how could he not feel sad? He was still lacking normally, but if he brought up the topic of his mother again today, would he feel better? After listening to what Lisa had to say, he continued,
”In this lifetime, my mother will still enjoy some blessings for the rest of her life. She has suffered far too many hardships for the rest of her life. It's amazing to be able to send me to school in that environment. ”
Hearing Zi Peng's words, Lixia felt the same way. She looked at Zi Peng and said,
”second brother was lucky that mother taught you for six years. Otherwise, can you be a secretary? Can you be a worker? ”
Wasn't this what Zi Peng was thinking in his heart? After listening to her, he continued,
”My mother, her greatness, is great in this place. I will never forget how she raised me.”
When the family returned at 4 pm, Zi Peng's family escorted them to the front street...
