At 7:30 in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner is on the table, and the house instantly becomes more lively and festive.
The dishes were served one by one, and the rich aroma of the food made them full of praise.
"I really like Ningning's cooking skills. The little girl has grown up. I really don’t know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future. You have to help her palm your hands. We are just such a girl in the future. Don't let people be bullied." Grandpa Jiang sat down at the dining table and said to Old Uncle Yao.
"We can only watch this kind of thing. If she is really fancy, others would not be able to persuade her, but Ningning knows that she will be able to live well in the future." Old Uncle Yao was also happy. .
Xie Zheng took Xu Rui to the dinner table and listened to these two old men's talk, and said in his heart, Grandpa, you are talking about him.
About Xu Ning and Xie Zheng's affairs, Qin Xuejuan probably knew about the secret work of the two children, and there was no sign of it.
Xie Zheng will graduate from university next year. On the one hand, Gao Xiulan was reluctant to part with Xu Ning, and on the other hand, she wanted to urge her grandson to bring a girl back early. She was always frustrated with the thoughts of these two.
"Xiaozheng is going to the army next year?" Old Uncle Yao poured a glass of white wine for Xie Zheng at the dinner table, "Just a drink."
Xie Zheng did not refuse, his drinking was still very good, "Well, continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination while working."
"It's the same after graduating from Ningning University?" Grandpa Jiang asked Xu Ning.
"I want to study clinical medicine on the basis of pharmacy. If I have the opportunity, I would also like to go to a foreign university for further study. Naturally, Chinese medicine is among the best in the world, but Western medicine still has to go abroad and work harder. It depends on my own efforts." Unscrew a bottle of juice and pour it on myself and my brother. The two grandma and mother are drinking rice wine.
Xie Zheng glanced at Xu Ning, then lowered his head to continue eating.
He has to go abroad to study, when can he marry a wife? I'm afraid that there is no hope for ten years or eight years, right?
Is this girl deliberately trying to abolish him?
But she likes to learn, and she has to support her. After all, this is not a bad thing.
I hope this girl can work harder and strive to finish her studies earlier, so that she can take her daughter-in-law home and have children.
Soon, several elderly people talked about their plans to travel next year, but the four hit it off. After the first month of the year, they went to Haicheng together and went abroad to play together if they felt stamina was okay.
Of course, if they go abroad, the four of them who don’t speak foreign languages can’t do it freely. Then, see if there are people who can speak foreign languages with them. There is an elderly activity center nearby. Although they don’t go there often, there are retired people there. Professors and other people from all walks of life can always find someone with them.
At eight o'clock exactly, the Spring Festival Gala started, and their dinner was just halfway through.
When Xu Rui saw this, after asking her sister to help him put vegetables in the bowl, she took it to the sofa to sit and watch while eating. The rest of the people sat around the dining table and chatted as usual.
At half past eight, dinner was over, and Xu Ning was about to clean up the food, but was taken away by her grandma.
"You have been busy all night, so we can clean up our dinner and go watch TV."
"It's okay, that is, ten minutes of effort." Xu Ning still wanted to insist, but was coaxed away by her grandma.
In the living room, everyone was sitting on the sofa and soft stool watching the TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala. The coffee table was full of various Tang and dried fruits. Xu Ning also went to the kitchen to make sugar water for her younger brother. Holding a teacup and drinking home-made tea leaves.
"Let's go out together tonight." Xie Zheng said to Xu Ning.
"Where to go?" It's very cold outside. Although the atmosphere of the New Year is very strong now, it still can't withstand the severe cold.
Xie Zheng pointed to a direction outside and smiled: "The Forbidden City Square will be showing fireworks tonight, don't you want to go and see?"
"It's okay to go and see." Xu Ning nodded after thinking about it.
When Xu Rui heard this, he quickly raised his hand, "I'll go too."
"It's indispensable for you." Xu Ning hugged her younger brother and smiled.
At eleven o'clock, Xu Ning led her brother back to the room and put on thick clothes, and then took him and Xie Zheng out together.
Although it is approaching midnight, the entire imperial capital is brightly lit. Tonight, lanterns are hung in front of many people's homes, and some of them are fashionable and hung with colored lights. Small light bulbs of various colors flash by like a revolving lantern. Rui admired again and again.
The streets and alleys are full of people, especially when they come to the main road, there are more people who gather in twos and threes. Almost all of these people are heading in the same direction. The destination is the same as that of Xu Ning's group.
I wandered from here and waited for half an hour to arrive at the Forbidden City Square. The fireworks started at midnight and lasted until midnight. As for the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s okay to eat again, but it’s just a bit later.
The temperature tonight is very cold, even if there are so many people on the street, but the wind is whizzing by, you still have to tremble.
Arriving at the Forbidden City Square, dense crowds have already gathered here, and there is less than five minutes before the fireworks display.
Because the people are so dense today, the three of them didn't squeeze in front, but watched from across the road. Because the front is flat and there are no building blocks, so there is no need to worry about not seeing them later.
Xie Zheng stood behind Xu Rui, with one hand on the shoulders of the little guy, and holding Xu Ning with the other hand, because there are vegetation and bushes behind, although there are street lights, no one can see the intimacy of this young couple unless they walk over. Look like.
I felt very cold before, when Xie Zheng held his hand, Xu Ning suddenly sweated a little.
"Is Rui Rui cold?" Xie Zheng lowered his head and asked.
Xu Rui shook his head, "Brother, can we see the fireworks here?"
"Yes!" Xie Zheng rubbed his head. "If you get closer, you might not be able to see if you are short. It's okay here, and there are a lot of people on the square tonight. If you accidentally squeeze out, we can just I can't find you anymore, safety is the most important thing."
"Okay." The little guy is not depressed, as long as he can see it, it doesn't matter before and after.
When the twelve o'clock bell rang, the square boiled with the first sound, and then a whole row of fireworks flew up into the sky, and when they reached a certain height, they gradually dissipated.
Although fireworks have been set off here every year in the past few years, it does not prevent people from coming to watch it.
There seemed to be a family not far from Xu Ning. A little girl was put on the shoulder by her father. She couldn't help laughing when she saw the fireworks, sweet and clear.
Then the fireworks raged up high in the sky, and the entire sky was rendered dazzlingly during this period of time.
Xie Zheng did not pay too much attention to fireworks. After he was 30 years old in his previous life, he almost gathered with many leaders in the Central Auditorium every New Year to celebrate the New Year. Then he would stand with them on the tower of the Forbidden City to watch the fireworks at that time. With Chen Qianwen next to him, Xie Zheng could see that Chen Qianwen, who was standing next to him, was very impatient with this kind of activity, and he didn't care about it. Anyway, the two of them were just formal and there was no common language.
If Xu Ning is standing by her side in this life, will she be like this tonight many years later, staring at the brilliantly blooming fireworks in the night sky, smiling and happy?
The handshake was changed to ten fingers clasped tightly, and the little girl turned her head and glanced at her, "Brother Zheng, there are fireworks in your eyes, it's very beautiful."
Xie Zheng was soft in his heart, bent over to her ear, and said dumbly: "You have me in your eyes, it's very beautiful."
Xu Ning was stunned by these words. Although he stared at the fireworks on the square all the way, his heart couldn't calm down.
At 12:30, the fireworks ended, and the three of them turned and walked home.
Xu Rui didn't know what was going on between his elder brother and sister, so he let the two of them hold his hand, and he playfully swings in the middle.
Xie Zheng didn't continue teasing Xu Ning. He knew that the girl was shy facing him. If he continued teasing, she might be able to burn herself to death.
Anyway, the coming day will be long, he will spend a lifetime with her, and will spend a lifetime teasing this little girl.
Back home, the elders hadn't cooked yet, and the two grandmothers who were standing and chatting at the kitchen door saw them coming back and hurried in to make dumplings.
Xu Rui rushed into the house and threw himself into his father's arms, happily talking about how beautiful the fireworks in the square were.
Touching his son's cold body, Xu Jianjun hugged him in his arms to warm him.
After eating dumplings, Xu Rui yawned and went to bed.
"Ningning, if you are sleepy, go to bed earlier. We are not in the village, and your little ones don't have to follow the night watch. You should have dinner in the morning and call you to go to sleep."
Yu Chunhua packed up the dishes and exhorted.
Xu Ning was really good and felt sleepy, yawned and went back to the room after greeted them.
Xie Zheng can't follow the past. Now Xu Ning is going to sleep, and his room is upstairs here, so it's not like the past.
Fortunately, I kissed it once today, which temporarily relieved my hunger and thirst. I will look for opportunities to talk later.
During the New Year this year, Xu Ning has no place to pay New Year’s greetings, and there was a heavy snowfall on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the temperature dropped several degrees. It was so cold that people wanted to stay at home and not go out, just as Xu Ning wished. .
But at home since the third grade, there are old men and women who come to play. They are all old friends that grandparents met outside, and some of them get along well in the elderly community.
Compared with the old lady, the old man does it every day, and all come to play chess with Grandpa. What surprised Xu Ning is that Grandpa can actually play many kinds of chess.
Go and chess are very good, and chess, army flag, and checkers are also very good, and even gobang is superb.
Grandpa's calligraphy, iron and silver hooks, dragons and phoenixes, and a superb Chinese medicine skill, if you are a few decades younger, maybe the girls who like him will line up from their door to the Forbidden City.
Xie Zheng couldn't stay idle during the New Year. The elders of many military families in the imperial capital were his elders, and took advantage of the Lantern Festival to go there every year.
But Xie Zheng came to Chen's house this year, but met Chen Qianwen.
"Xie Zheng is here, come in and sit down." Chen Yuanqi, the old man, greeted Xie Zheng kindly. "This is my granddaughter Qianqian, Chen Qianwen, who has been studying abroad since high school. I usually come back on Christmas day and haven't spent the New Year at home for several years. I can only celebrate the Spring Festival at home after graduating last year."
"Grandpa Chen has a good New Year." Xie Zheng entered the door and handed the New Year gift to the helper, then sat down opposite Chen Yuanqi and nodded to Chen Qianwen, "Hello Qianwen."
Chen Yuanqi's identity was the same as Xie Hongjia's at first, but he was not as good as Xie Hongjia, because Xie Hongjia had studied abroad and was very knowledgeable. After he drove the great powers out of China, he held a very important position in the central government. It is a pity. Later, he did not survive the catastrophe.
At the beginning, he and Xie Hongjia had a very good relationship, and now he treats Xie Zheng as his grandson.
But no matter how you treat him as a grandson, Xie Zheng has no blood relationship with him. Now he has a granddaughter who is sensible and beloved by him. These two young people can run in together.
Chen Qianwen and Xie Zheng greeted him, poured him a cup of tea, and sat beside her grandfather listening to the two of them chatting.
Before Xie Zheng came, Chen Qianwen heard her grandfather talk about Xie Zheng, her tone was endless, and she also asked her opinions.
She is not stupid, and Chen Qianwen knows what the purpose behind the grandfather is.
And now seeing Xie Zheng in person, she has to say that this is indeed a very good man.
But it is not because he is good that you have to like him. If the relationship is such a casual thing, there are too many good men in this world, she simply can't like him.
Chen Qianwen has someone she likes in her heart, but the moment she likes her, she is doomed to not be happy, and the other party can't communicate with her anyway.
Since she can't be together, but she can't be single in her life, and who she marries is not so important. But in her married life, she can't help each other at home. She has read so many years of books, no To be spent in firewood, rice, oil and salt.
"I'm going to the army after graduation. How are you preparing?" Chen Yuanqi looked at Xie Zheng, the elders' love in his eyes could not be suppressed at all, and the caring eyes were not calculated at all.
Now he is the only one left in the Xie family, and although Chen Yuanqi is now retired, his influence is not low at all, and there is nothing worth his calculations.
At the beginning, Xie Hongjia saved his life on the battlefield, so as an elder who had been in friendship with Grandpa Xie Zheng, he naturally hoped that Xie Zheng's future would be smooth.
As for wanting to match him with his granddaughter, there is no other thought. Xie Zheng is a very good child. Such a grandson-in-law must have nothing to dislike with his peers.
Xie Zheng laughed and said, "I'm still half a year away from graduation. I already have goals in my mind for work, and I want to continue the postgraduate entrance exam while working."
"Well, you have ideas and goals. Your father has been a man with goals since he was a child. He was grown up by his grandfather. He has been very smart since he was a child. He is always easier to do things than others, and he gets twice the result with half the effort. , And you are also very good, did not disappoint the elders of the Xie family."
"Thank you Grandpa Chen for the compliment."
Chen Yuanqi raised his hand to volley and nodded Xie Zheng, "You kid, you deserve grandpa's praise."
After working here for less than half an hour, everyone in the Chen family came back from outside.
Chen Yuanqi had two sons and two daughters. Both sons stayed in the imperial capital. One of the two daughters married to the South and the other to a foreign country. Usually, the two daughters came back around the Lantern Festival and they have not come now.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Kang, New Year is good, and the two aunts are happy New Year." Xie Zheng got up and greeted them.
"Xie Zheng is here. Happy Chinese New Year. Sit quickly. Come home and don't be restrained." Chen Jian raised his hand to let Xie Zheng sit down.
Chen Qianwen is Chen Jian's daughter. He also has an older brother named Chen Qiaofei.
At this time, a girl with a cold face was sitting with Chen Qianwen. She was the girl Chen Jingwen who had met in Liulichang two years ago. She was the eldest daughter of Chen Kang. There was also a son Chen Xufei who was in junior high school. The family is here.
The lunch table at noon, the two families made a lot of stuff. Fortunately, Mr. Chen's dining table is very large, otherwise it would really be too big to put it down.
Chen Jian and Chen Kang asked about Xie Zheng's studies and employment situation this year, and they had a few children chatting.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Zheng said goodbye and left.
Chen Yuanqi personally sent Xie Zheng away, and when he came back, he said to Chen Qianwen: "Qianqian have any thoughts?"
Everyone looked at Chen Qianwen, they all knew what the old man meant, and wanted Xie Zheng and Qianqian to get along.
Chen Qianwen furrowed her eyebrows, then let go, "Grandpa, you should leave me alone for now, I don't think people are interested in me."
"You kid, do you look down on Xie Zheng?" Chen Jian looked at his daughter.
"Qianqian, Xie Zheng's status is not low. Although the Xie family's grandfather and uncle and aunt are gone, no one dares to look down on him because he is the Xie family." Chen Qiaofei didn't understand what was going on with his sister. Good, very capable. After graduation this year, I will join the army. The future is limitless. Don't miss it."
Chen Qianwen knew that her father's eldest brother and grandfather were doing good for her, but this kind of good made her feel a little depressed.
"Have you ever thought, what if Xie Zheng looks down on me?" She sighed.
At this moment, Chen Yuanqi and Chen Jian's father and son were stunned.
"Yes, I can't be anxious about this kind of thing, I'll ask this child Xie Zheng in private when I'm waiting."
"Grandpa, mom and dad, second uncle and aunt, I'll go upstairs first."
"Go ahead and take a good rest."
Back to the room, Chen Qianwen sat on the bed, looking at the distant scenery outside the window.
She is only 22 years old this year. In fact, her studies abroad can continue, but staying there is bound to face that person all day long, and the other party already has a girl she likes, and she can't stand it anymore.
Chen Qianwen was afraid that she would continue to stay there, and sooner or later she could not help but confess her thoughts with the other party.
Some people may say that if you like it, you must say it out loud.
This is true, but it also depends on the situation and the situation. If the other party has someone he likes and is connected with each other, you have to tell the other party what you want. This is completely selfish behavior. She has her own pride. Allow her to do this kind of thing that destroys people's feelings.
If you put yourself in the position of the other's girlfriend, and have a girl and a favorite boyfriend confess, she will also feel that the other party is really hateful in her heart.
Our relationship is good, you come to disgust us for your loyalty?
Therefore, she doesn't know what to do now.
－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－
Brother Zheng: Sister Ning, there is only you in my heart without her!
Ning Mei: There is no silver here?
Brother Zheng: o (╥﹏╥) o ruining my heart, are you happy?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
At 7:30 in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner is on the table, and the house instantly becomes more lively and festive.
The dishes were served one by one, and the rich aroma of the food made them full of praise.
"I really like Ningning's cooking skills. The little girl has grown up. I really don’t know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future. You have to help her palm your hands. We are just such a girl in the future. Don't let people be bullied." Grandpa Jiang sat down at the dining table and said to Old Uncle Yao.
"We can only watch this kind of thing. If she is really fancy, others would not be able to persuade her, but Ningning knows that she will be able to live well in the future." Old Uncle Yao was also happy. .
Xie Zheng took Xu Rui to the dinner table and listened to these two old men's talk, and said in his heart, Grandpa, you are talking about him.
About Xu Ning and Xie Zheng's affairs, Qin Xuejuan probably knew about the secret work of the two children, and there was no sign of it.
Xie Zheng will graduate from university next year. On the one hand, Gao Xiulan was reluctant to part with Xu Ning, and on the other hand, she wanted to urge her grandson to bring a girl back early. She was always frustrated with the thoughts of these two.

Unscrew a bottle of juice and pour it on myself and my brother. The two grandma and mother are drinking rice wine.
Xie Zheng glanced at Xu Ning, then lowered his head to continue eating.
He has to go abroad to study, when can he marry a wife? I'm afraid that there is no hope for ten years or eight years, right?
Is this girl deliberately trying to abolish him?
But she likes to learn, and she has to support her. After all, this is not a bad thing.
I hope this girl can work harder and strive to finish her studies earlier, so that she can take her daughter-in-law home and have children.
Soon, several elderly people talked about their plans to travel next year, but the four hit it off. After the first month of the year, they went to Haicheng together and went abroad to play together if they felt stamina was okay.

But Xie Zheng came to Chen's house this year, but met Chen Qianwen.
"Xie Zheng is here, come in and sit down." Chen Yuanqi, the old man, greeted Xie Zheng kindly. "This is my granddaughter Qianqian, Chen Qianwen, who has been studying abroad since high school. I usually come back on Christmas day and haven't spent the New Year at home for several years. I can only celebrate the Spring Festival at home after graduating last year."
"Grandpa Chen has a good New Year." Xie Zheng entered the door and handed the New Year gift to the helper, then sat down opposite Chen Yuanqi and nodded to Chen Qianwen, "Hello Qianwen."

Xie Zheng laughed and said, "I'm still half a year away from graduation. I already have goals in my mind for work, and I want to continue the postgraduate entrance exam while working."
"Well, you have ideas and goals. Your father has been a man with goals since he was a child. He was grown up by his grandfather. He has been very smart since he was a child. He is always easier to do things than others, and he gets twice the result with half the effort. , And you are also very good, did not disappoint the elders of the Xie family."
"Thank you Grandpa Chen for the compliment."
Chen Yuanqi raised his hand to volley and nodded Xie Zheng, "You kid, you deserve grandpa's praise."
After working here for less than half an hour, everyone in the Chen family came back from outside.
Chen Yuanqi had two sons and two daughters. Both sons stayed in the imperial capital. One of the two daughters married to the South and the other to a foreign country. Usually, the two daughters came back around the Lantern Festival and they have not come now.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Kang, New Year is good, and the two aunts are happy New Year." Xie Zheng got up and greeted them.
"Xie Zheng is here. Happy Chinese New Year. Sit quickly. Come home and don't be restrained." Chen Jian raised his hand to let Xie Zheng sit down.
Chen Qianwen is Chen Jian's daughter. He also has an older brother named Chen Qiaofei.
At this time, a girl with a cold face was sitting with Chen Qianwen. She was the girl Chen Jingwen who had met in Liulichang two years ago. She was the eldest daughter of Chen Kang. There was also a son Chen Xufei who was in junior high school. The family is here.
The lunch table at noon, the two families made a lot of stuff. Fortunately, Mr. Chen's dining table is very large, otherwise it would really be too big to put it down.
Chen Jian and Chen Kang asked about Xie Zheng's studies and employment situation this year, and they had a few children chatting.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Zheng said goodbye and left.
Chen Yuanqi personally sent Xie Zheng away, and when he came back, he said to Chen Qianwen: "Qianqian have any thoughts?"
Everyone looked at Chen Qianwen, they all knew what the old man meant, and wanted Xie Zheng and Qianqian to get along.
Chen Qianwen furrowed her eyebrows, then let go, "Grandpa, you should leave me alone for now, I don't think people are interested in me."
"You kid, do you look down on Xie Zheng?" Chen Jian looked at his daughter.
"Qianqian, Xie Zheng's status is not low. Although the Xie family's grandfather and uncle and aunt are gone, no one dares to look down on him because he is the Xie family." Chen Qiaofei didn't understand what was going on with his sister. Good, very capable. After graduation this year, I will join the army. The future is limitless. Don't miss it."
Chen Qianwen knew that her father's eldest brother and grandfather were doing good for her, but this kind of good made her feel a little depressed.
"Have you ever thought, what if Xie Zheng looks down on me?" She sighed.
At this moment, Chen Yuanqi and Chen Jian's father and son were stunned.
"Yes, I can't be anxious about this kind of thing, I'll ask this child Xie Zheng in private when I'm waiting."
"Grandpa, mom and dad, second uncle and aunt, I'll go upstairs first."
"Go ahead and take a good rest."
Back to the room, Chen Qianwen sat on the bed, looking at the distant scenery outside the window.
She is only 22 years old this year. In fact, her studies abroad can continue, but staying there is bound to face that person all day long, and the other party already has a girl she likes, and she can't stand it anymore.
Chen Qianwen was afraid that she would continue to stay there, and sooner or later she could not help but confess her thoughts with the other party.
Some people may say that if you like it, you must say it out loud.
This is true, but it also depends on the situation and the situation. If the other party has someone he likes and is connected with each other, you have to tell the other party what you want. This is completely selfish behavior. She has her own pride. Allow her to do this kind of thing that destroys people's feelings.
If you put yourself in the position of the other's girlfriend, and have a girl and a favorite boyfriend confess, she will also feel that the other party is really hateful in her heart.
Our relationship is good, you come to disgust us for your loyalty?
Therefore, she doesn't know what to do now.
－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－
Brother Zheng: Sister Ning, there is only you in my heart without her!
Ning Mei: There is no silver here?
Brother Zheng: o (╥﹏╥) o ruining my heart, are you happy?
At 7:30 in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner is on the table, and the house instantly becomes more lively and festive.The dishes were served one by one, and the rich aroma of the food made them full of praise."I really like Ningning's cooking skills. The little girl has grown up. I really don't know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future. You have to help her palm your hands. We are just such a girl in the future. Don't let people be bullied." Grandpa Jiang sat down at the dining table and said to Old Uncle Yao."We can only watch this kind of thing. If she is really fancy, others would not be able to persuade her, but Ningning knows that she will be able to live well in the future." Old Uncle Yao was also happy. .Xie Zheng took Xu Rui to the dinner table and listened to these two old men's talk, and said in his heart, Grandpa, you are talking about him.About Xu Ning and Xie Zheng's affairs, Qin Xuejuan probably knew about the secret work of the two children, and there was no sign of it.Xie Zheng will graduate from university next year. On the one hand, Gao Xiulan was reluctant to part with Xu Ning, and on the other hand, she wanted to urge her grandson to bring a girl back early. She was always frustrated with the thoughts of these two."Xiaozheng is going to the army next year?" Old Uncle Yao poured a glass of white wine for Xie Zheng at the dinner table, "Just a drink."Xie Zheng did not refuse, his drinking was still very good, "Well, continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination while working.""It's the same after graduating from Ningning University?" Grandpa Jiang asked Xu Ning."I want to study clinical medicine on the basis of pharmacy. If I have the opportunity, I would also like to go to a foreign university for further study. Naturally, Chinese medicine is among the best in the world, but Western medicine still has to go abroad and work harder. It depends on my own efforts." Unscrew a bottle of juice and pour it on myself and my brother. The two grandma and mother are drinking rice wine.Xie Zheng glanced at Xu Ning, then lowered his head to continue eating.He has to go abroad to study, when can he marry a wife? I'm afraid that there is no hope for ten years or eight years, right?Is this girl deliberately trying to abolish him?But she likes to learn, and she has to support her. After all, this is not a bad thing.I hope this girl can work harder and strive to finish her studies earlier, so that she can take her daughter-in-law home and have children.Soon, several elderly people talked about their plans to travel next year, but the four hit it off. After the first month of the year, they went to Haicheng together and went abroad to play together if they felt stamina was okay.Of course, if they go abroad, the four of them who don't speak foreign languages can't do it freely. Then, see if there are people who can speak foreign languages with them. There is an elderly activity center nearby. Although they don't go there often, there are retired people there. Professors and other people from all walks of life can always find someone with them.At eight o'clock exactly, the Spring Festival Gala started, and their dinner was just halfway through.When Xu Rui saw this, after asking her sister to help him put vegetables in the bowl, she took it to the sofa to sit and watch while eating. The rest of the people sat around the dining table and chatted as usual.At half past eight, dinner was over, and Xu Ning was about to clean up the food, but was taken away by her grandma."You have been busy all night, so we can clean up our dinner and go watch TV.""It's okay, that is, ten minutes of effort." Xu Ning still wanted to insist, but was coaxed away by her grandma.In the living room, everyone was sitting on the sofa and soft stool watching the TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala. The coffee table was full of various Tang and dried fruits. Xu Ning also went to the kitchen to make sugar water for her younger brother. Holding a teacup and drinking home-made tea leaves."Let's go out together tonight." Xie Zheng said to Xu Ning."Where to go?" It's very cold outside. Although the atmosphere of the New Year is very strong now, it still can't withstand the severe cold.Xie Zheng pointed to a direction outside and smiled: "The Forbidden City Square will be showing fireworks tonight, don't you want to go and see?""It's okay to go and see." Xu Ning nodded after thinking about it.When Xu Rui heard this, he quickly raised his hand, "I'll go too.""It's indispensable for you." Xu Ning hugged her younger brother and smiled.At eleven o'clock, Xu Ning led her brother back to the room and put on thick clothes, and then took him and Xie Zheng out together.Although it is approaching midnight, the entire imperial capital is brightly lit. Tonight, lanterns are hung in front of many people's homes, and some of them are fashionable and hung with colored lights. Small light bulbs of various colors flash by like a revolving lantern. Rui admired again and again.The streets and alleys are full of people, especially when they come to the main road, there are more people who gather in twos and threes. Almost all of these people are heading in the same direction. The destination is the same as that of Xu Ning's group.I wandered from here and waited for half an hour to arrive at the Forbidden City Square. The fireworks started at midnight and lasted until midnight. As for the New Year's Eve dinner, it's okay to eat again, but it's just a bit later.The temperature tonight is very cold, even if there are so many people on the street, but the wind is whizzing by, you still have to tremble.Arriving at the Forbidden City Square, dense crowds have already gathered here, and there is less than five minutes before the fireworks display.Because the people are so dense today, the three of them didn't squeeze in front, but watched from across the road. Because the front is flat and there are no building blocks, so there is no need to worry about not seeing them later.Xie Zheng stood behind Xu Rui, with one hand on the shoulders of the little guy, and holding Xu Ning with the other hand, because there are vegetation and bushes behind, although there are street lights, no one can see the intimacy of this young couple unless they walk over. Look like.I felt very cold before, when Xie Zheng held his hand, Xu Ning suddenly sweated a little."Is Rui Rui cold?" Xie Zheng lowered his head and asked.Xu Rui shook his head, "Brother, can we see the fireworks here?""Yes!" Xie Zheng rubbed his head. "If you get closer, you might not be able to see if you are short. It's okay here, and there are a lot of people on the square tonight. If you accidentally squeeze out, we can just I can't find you anymore, safety is the most important thing.""Okay." The little guy is not depressed, as long as he can see it, it doesn't matter before and after.When the twelve o'clock bell rang, the square boiled with the first sound, and then a whole row of fireworks flew up into the sky, and when they reached a certain height, they gradually dissipated.Although fireworks have been set off here every year in the past few years, it does not prevent people from coming to watch it.There seemed to be a family not far from Xu Ning. A little girl was put on the shoulder by her father. She couldn't help laughing when she saw the fireworks, sweet and clear.Then the fireworks raged up high in the sky, and the entire sky was rendered dazzlingly during this period of time.Xie Zheng did not pay too much attention to fireworks. After he was 30 years old in his previous life, he almost gathered with many leaders in the Central Auditorium every New Year to celebrate the New Year. Then he would stand with them on the tower of the Forbidden City to watch the fireworks at that time. With Chen Qianwen next to him, Xie Zheng could see that Chen Qianwen, who was standing next to him, was very impatient with this kind of activity, and he didn't care about it. Anyway, the two of them were just formal and there was no common language.If Xu Ning is standing by her side in this life, will she be like this tonight many years later, staring at the brilliantly blooming fireworks in the night sky, smiling and happy?The handshake was changed to ten fingers clasped tightly, and the little girl turned her head and glanced at her, "Brother Zheng, there are fireworks in your eyes, it's very beautiful."Xie Zheng was soft in his heart, bent over to her ear, and said dumbly: "You have me in your eyes, it's very beautiful."Xu Ning was stunned by these words. Although he stared at the fireworks on the square all the way, his heart couldn't calm down.At 12:30, the fireworks ended, and the three of them turned and walked home.Xu Rui didn't know what was going on between his elder brother and sister, so he let the two of them hold his hand, and he playfully swings in the middle.Xie Zheng didn't continue teasing Xu Ning. He knew that the girl was shy facing him. If he continued teasing, she might be able to burn herself to death.Anyway, the coming day will be long, he will spend a lifetime with her, and will spend a lifetime teasing this little girl.Back home, the elders hadn't cooked yet, and the two grandmothers who were standing and chatting at the kitchen door saw them coming back and hurried in to make dumplings.Xu Rui rushed into the house and threw himself into his father's arms, happily talking about how beautiful the fireworks in the square were.Touching his son's cold body, Xu Jianjun hugged him in his arms to warm him.After eating dumplings, Xu Rui yawned and went to bed."Ningning, if you are sleepy, go to bed earlier. We are not in the village, and your little ones don't have to follow the night watch. You should have dinner in the morning and call you to go to sleep."Yu Chunhua packed up the dishes and exhorted.Xu Ning was really good and felt sleepy, yawned and went back to the room after greeted them.Xie Zheng can't follow the past. Now Xu Ning is going to sleep, and his room is upstairs here, so it's not like the past.Fortunately, I kissed it once today, which temporarily relieved my hunger and thirst. I will look for opportunities to talk later.During the New Year this year, Xu Ning has no place to pay New Year's greetings, and there was a heavy snowfall on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the temperature dropped several degrees. It was so cold that people wanted to stay at home and not go out, just as Xu Ning wished. .But at home since the third grade, there are old men and women who come to play. They are all old friends that grandparents met outside, and some of them get along well in the elderly community.Compared with the old lady, the old man does it every day, and all come to play chess with Grandpa. What surprised Xu Ning is that Grandpa can actually play many kinds of chess.Go and chess are very good, and chess, army flag, and checkers are also very good, and even gobang is superb.Grandpa's calligraphy, iron and silver hooks, dragons and phoenixes, and a superb Chinese medicine skill, if you are a few decades younger, maybe the girls who like him will line up from their door to the Forbidden City.Xie Zheng couldn't stay idle during the New Year. The elders of many military families in the imperial capital were his elders, and took advantage of the Lantern Festival to go there every year.But Xie Zheng came to Chen's house this year, but met Chen Qianwen."Xie Zheng is here, come in and sit down." Chen Yuanqi, the old man, greeted Xie Zheng kindly. "This is my granddaughter Qianqian, Chen Qianwen, who has been studying abroad since high school. I usually come back on Christmas day and haven't spent the New Year at home for several years. I can only celebrate the Spring Festival at home after graduating last year.""Grandpa Chen has a good New Year." Xie Zheng entered the door and handed the New Year gift to the helper, then sat down opposite Chen Yuanqi and nodded to Chen Qianwen, "Hello Qianwen."Chen Yuanqi's identity was the same as Xie Hongjia's at first, but he was not as good as Xie Hongjia, because Xie Hongjia had studied abroad and was very knowledgeable. After he drove the great powers out of China, he held a very important position in the central government. It is a pity. Later, he did not survive the catastrophe.At the beginning, he and Xie Hongjia had a very good relationship, and now he treats Xie Zheng as his grandson.But no matter how you treat him as a grandson, Xie Zheng has no blood relationship with him. Now he has a granddaughter who is sensible and beloved by him. These two young people can run in together.Chen Qianwen and Xie Zheng greeted him, poured him a cup of tea, and sat beside her grandfather listening to the two of them chatting.Before Xie Zheng came, Chen Qianwen heard her grandfather talk about Xie Zheng, her tone was endless, and she also asked her opinions.She is not stupid, and Chen Qianwen knows what the purpose behind the grandfather is.And now seeing Xie Zheng in person, she has to say that this is indeed a very good man.But it is not because he is good that you have to like him. If the relationship is such a casual thing, there are too many good men in this world, she simply can't like him.Chen Qianwen has someone she likes in her heart, but the moment she likes her, she is doomed to not be happy, and the other party can't communicate with her anyway.Since she can't be together, but she can't be single in her life, and who she marries is not so important. But in her married life, she can't help each other at home. She has read so many years of books, no To be spent in firewood, rice, oil and salt."I'm going to the army after graduation. How are you preparing?" Chen Yuanqi looked at Xie Zheng, the elders' love in his eyes could not be suppressed at all, and the caring eyes were not calculated at all.Now he is the only one left in the Xie family, and although Chen Yuanqi is now retired, his influence is not low at all, and there is nothing worth his calculations.At the beginning, Xie Hongjia saved his life on the battlefield, so as an elder who had been in friendship with Grandpa Xie Zheng, he naturally hoped that Xie Zheng's future would be smooth.As for wanting to match him with his granddaughter, there is no other thought. Xie Zheng is a very good child. Such a grandson-in-law must have nothing to dislike with his peers.Xie Zheng laughed and said, "I'm still half a year away from graduation. I already have goals in my mind for work, and I want to continue the postgraduate entrance exam while working.""Well, you have ideas and goals.

He is always easier to do things than others, and he gets twice the result with half the effort. , And you are also very good, did not disappoint the elders of the Xie family.""Thank you Grandpa Chen for the compliment."Chen Yuanqi raised his hand to volley and nodded Xie Zheng, "You kid, you deserve grandpa's praise."After working here for less than half an hour, everyone in the Chen family came back from outside.Chen Yuanqi had two sons and two daughters. Both sons stayed in the imperial capital. One of the two daughters married to the South and the other to a foreign country. Usually, the two daughters came back around the Lantern Festival and they have not come now."Uncle Jian, Uncle Kang, New Year is good, and the two aunts are happy New Year." Xie Zheng got up and greeted them."Xie Zheng is here. Happy Chinese New Year. Sit quickly. Come home and don't be restrained." Chen Jian raised his hand to let Xie Zheng sit down.Chen Qianwen is Chen Jian's daughter. He also has an older brother named Chen Qiaofei.At this time, a girl with a cold face was sitting with Chen Qianwen. She was the girl Chen Jingwen who had met in Liulichang two years ago. She was the eldest daughter of Chen Kang. There was also a son Chen Xufei who was in junior high school. The family is here.The lunch table at noon, the two families made a lot of stuff.
