Chapter 200： New Year's Eve

Chapter 200 New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve is here as promised. In order for everyone to have a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner tomorrow night, women start to get busy early in the morning. They cook and cut bacon, kill chickens and ducks, wash and cut vegetables. They are very busy.

Of course, Ning Xi, Zhang Ying, and Chen Jing are still the key targets of protection. The three of them can't squeeze into the kitchen, so they can only sit by the well with stools to help wash the vegetables and do the little things they can.

Men are not idle either. They have to clean everything inside and outside, and put up couplets, window grilles, door gods, and New Year pictures.

After a busy day of work, around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Xi realized that today was New Year's Eve and she should make a call to Lu Nan, so she took some candies and snacks and went out to make a call.

It was Lu Bei who accompanied her out. On the way, she met many children playing in the village. When they saw Ning Xi carrying food, a group of children immediately came up to her and greeted Ning Xi sweetly. Ning Xi responded with a smile. Then, give out the candies and snacks in your hands to the children.

By the time she reached the small shop, the candies and snacks in her hands had been distributed.

Ning Xi exchanged pleasantries with her boss, then quickly picked up the phone and dialed Lu Nan's office. The phone rang for a long time but there was no answer.

The troops should also be on holiday at this time!

Ning Xi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she couldn't get through the phone call, especially when she thought about not being able to say a few words to him during the New Year, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Lu Bei stood aside and reminded in a low voice, "Brother, it's time for vacation. We are no longer in the office. Why don't you call the guard room?"

"Forget it, it's quite a distance from the dormitory to the guard room. They will have New Year's Eve dinner soon, so don't waste their time. Let's go! We're going back." Ning Xi put down the phone, forced a smile, and led Lu Go north out of the small shop.

She and Lu Bei walked on the village road one after another. She in front kept rubbing her cheeks and softly comforting herself in her heart. She was not sad. She was celebrating the New Year and she had to be happy. Although she couldn't talk to him today, But this year is the happiest she has ever been.

This year, not only did my mother accompany me, but I also had several close friends with me. They also made money, making the family’s life better and better. This is something to be happy about, and should not be sad.

The second aunt from the small shop ran all the way to catch up with the two of them. "Ning Xi, your phone call came from your family, Lu Nan."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bei immediately reminded excitedly, "Sister-in-law, eldest brother called back."

“Hmm!” Ning Xi responded, all the emotions in her heart were instantly wiped away, and she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the small shop.

The second aunt hurriedly said, "Wait a minute. I told Lu Nan that you just left and asked him not to hang up and wait for you."

“Yeah!” Ning Xi responded, but her pace did not slow down. She rushed into the small shop and grabbed the phone. She gasped for air and was unable to say a word for a long time.

I probably heard gasping, but Lu Nan's voice came from over there, "Xiao Xi."

"Um!"

"You ran away. Didn't I tell you to be careful when walking and don't run away? You said why you were disobedient. It's almost eight months old. What if you fall?"

Knowing that he was worried about her, but also afraid that he would keep nagging on this topic, Ning Xi quickly changed the topic, "Your army also celebrates the New Year! What food do you have during the Chinese New Year in the army?"

“Everyone made dumplings together. We went to make dumplings in the afternoon. We were so busy that we just finished wrapping them. I also sent the meat that my mother packed for me to the canteen, so that everyone can try our Jiangshi cured meat.”

“In the north, everyone eats dumplings during the Chinese New Year! Dumplings with various fillings.”

"Hmm! Eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, and eat dumplings on the first day of the first day. Unlike our New Year's Eve, there are big fish and meat." "Then you don’t have the troops next year. Uncle, let’s have some drinks, how lively it is.”

"I wonder." Next year, Ning Xi should be admitted back to the Su family. In the first year of her return, she will have to stay there to accompany the Su family's old man and his wife to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

But it’s not necessarily true. Lu Nan didn’t know much about what happened in the past life because he didn’t have the intention to gossip. He only knew that the first time Ning Hong was taken to the old man of the Su family, there was a lot of trouble. The Su family The old man even said that he would never admit that Ning Hong was his granddaughter. If Su Weiguo wanted to recognize Ning Hong, he would never step foot into the old house again.

This sentence is not just for words. It is said that after that time, Ning Hong did not go to the Su family's old house. It was also because of this that Su Weiguo spent the New Year with the soldiers in the army every year, and Ning Hong usually went back to Ning Dalong's house. Celebrate the New Year.

Lu Nan couldn't tell whether the old man of the Su family would be as unwilling to accept Ning Xi in this life as he was in the previous life, but one thing he could be sure of was that if the old man of the Su family dared to embarrass Ning Xi, then he would never allow Ning Xi to enter the house in this life. No one can bully the old man's residence and his woman, even if that person is her grandfather.

Naturally, Ning Xi didn't know what Lu Nan was thinking. At the moment, she didn't feel sad because he couldn't go home for the New Year. She even joked with a smile, "Don't be envious when we go home for the New Year." "

“Why, you still want to leave me here alone and take the baby home!” Lu Nan felt sour.

What the **** is this?

He thought about staying with his wife at her parents’ house to celebrate the New Year, but her daughter-in-law thought about leaving him and going back to her husband’s house to celebrate the New Year.

"No, the house is so lively, I will definitely go home to celebrate the New Year." It will be useless to stay in the imperial capital by then. He has been in the army, and she, her mother and two children will still be the only ones left at home. By then, they Going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year together is definitely more lively than staying there to celebrate the New Year.

“Alas! Others follow their husbands, so you’d better just leave your husband aside and only care about your own happiness.”

“When I go back to my hometown, don’t I just mean that you’re back? You see, you can’t go home. My children and I will represent you to go home to spend the New Year with your dad, uncle, and uncle. If you’re not moved, forget it. You still feel aggrieved.”

The two chatted about home affairs through the receiver, without a word of love, but they made each other feel wrapped in warmth on this cold Lantern Festival night. When they chatted until about six o'clock, the meals at the second aunt's house were served one after another. It’s time to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Although the second aunt didn't urge her, and Ning Xi hadn't had enough chat with Lu Nan, she didn't want to disturb other people's New Year reunion here, so she said out loud, "The second aunt and the others are preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, I have to go back. "

There was silence for a while before he said, "Okay, my wife, happy New Year's Eve. After tonight, it will be a new year. I hope you will forget all the troubles and unhappiness in the new year and usher in a new life and happiness."

Ning Xi raised her lips slightly, "It's very official."

“This is not official, making you happy is all I want.”

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is this a love story?"

“Hang up! Go back early, it’s slippery outside, don’t run, walk slowly, and remember to say Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone for us.”

He suddenly changed the topic, and Ning Xi felt a little disappointed, but it was really not the right time to continue chatting, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll hang up. Happy New Year's Eve, Brother Nan."

“Happy New Year’s Eve to my husband instead, wouldn’t it?”

“…” Ning Xi rolled her eyes and hung up the phone as if she hadn’t heard.

Putting the money for the call on the table, Ning Xi took out a handful of candies and put them on the table before leaving the shop with Lu Bei.
