On the TV in the living room, the grand occasion before the official start of the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast live. Everyone was happy on their faces, and they welcomed traditional Chinese programs together.

At half past six, Su Mian prepared the last dish.

Everyone helped to serve all the dishes on the table, and the rectangular red sandalwood table was filled with them.

Su Mian’s dishes are exquisitely cooked, taste delicious, and look even more pleasing to the eye.

The twelve dishes are Babao local chicken soup, Sixi meatballs, braised elbows, cumin lamb chops, steamed hairy crabs, cured platters, fried lotus root, fried asparagus and bacon, soup tofu stew, pine nut corn, scallion, and cold radish skin.

The reason why I add a cold radish skin is mainly used to make it a prawn.

There were too many meat and vegetables tonight, and Su Mian was worried that they would get tired of it.

Finally, I also put a fruit platter on it. Su Mian cut a small portion of every fruit in the house and placed it in a large fruit tray. It was full of it, and placed it in a corner of the dining table. It looked pretty good.

The best white wine and red wine were placed aside, and Su Mian also squeezed the juice for Zhong Yibai.

As soon as the seven o'clock rings, the New Year's Eve dinner officially begins. The old man raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at the children surrounding him with a look of relief, "Your mother and I don't ask much for you, I just hope you are safe and healthy, and everything goes well!"

The old lady added, "I still have a wish,"

When she said this, she looked at Su Mian, "I will find someone to see a good day tomorrow, let my second son and Mianmian get married, and then quickly give birth to a little baby for me to play with."

Zhong Yibai, who was sitting next to her, immediately looked up and asked her, "Can the little baby still play? Isn't it necessary to raise it? I heard it's still difficult to raise it."

The old lady raised her hand and touched his little head, looking melancholy, "How come such a little little baby suddenly grows so big?"

Zhong Nanyang stopped the old lady inexplicably sad and raised her wine glass, "First of all, I have to thank my second sister-in-law for the New Year's Eve dinner that she worked hard alone. It was full of color, fragrance and taste. I am already feeling stressed now. If I find a wife who can't cook in the future, will Ms. Luo be dissatisfied?"

The old lady glanced at him and said quietly, "I only have one request for you to find a wife."

Everyone looked at the old lady curiously. When everyone saw her expressions resentful, they slowly spoke, "As long as they are women, I will be content."

Su Mian couldn't help laughing out loud, and then everyone couldn't help laughing.

Zhong Yibai smiled the most exaggeratedly, "Hahahaha, grandma, you are so funny. Isn't my uncle's wife a woman or a man?"

Zhong Nanyang couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "My taste is very normal!"

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the TV in the restaurant was also on. Everyone was eating the New Year's Eve dinner while watching the TV and chatting. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making people happy both physically and mentally.

The longer you eat the New Year’s Eve dinner, the better.

The family ended from seven o'clock to half past ten o'clock. The men in the family drank a lot of wine except for the child Zhong Yibai.

Zhong Nanyang was drunk and pulled Zhong Nanqin and Zhong Nanzhao to play mahjong.

The old lady is a loyal fan of mahjong. When she heard about playing mahjong, she stopped rushing to wash with Su Mian and went to the living room.

Su Mian quickly washed the pots and pans, cleaned the kitchen, took off the apron on her body and went upstairs.

Although the best range hood is installed in the kitchen, there is still some smell of oil smoke.

Su Mian returned to the room to take a shower, changed into clothes and went downstairs again.

I went to the kitchen to make a pot of Pu'er and flower tea, brought it to the coffee table in the living room, poured a cup for each person, and then sat down next to Zhong Yibai.

Zhong Yibai was grabbing red envelopes in the WeChat group. He shouted happily while grabbing, "Ahhhhh, I snatched five yuan, so the luck is the best."

I was busy before, so I put my phone directly on the bedroom upstairs.

After getting idle, Su Mian took out and saw that there were already thousands of messages on WeChat.

There were New Year's greetings sent by others and chat messages from the group. Su Mian read all the New Year's greetings, and finally edited the New Year's greetings and sent them out.

After sending the message, she clicked on a WeChat group, and there were only four people on it.

She, Yu Miao, is as deep as a painting, and is happy girl.

The group was very lively. Ximei had just sent a red envelope, and Yu Miao was posting it. Su Mian also sent one without saying a word.

Seeing that she finally had bubbles, the three of them immediately added her.

Yu Miao said, "I was just saying, if you don't come out again, I will consider whether to call the police?"

Ximei said, "What are you busy with this day? You don't answer the phone or reply to the message. I thought your Mr. Zhong had abducted you."

Chen Ruhua, "Did you cook the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Su Mian couldn't reply and finally replied, "The family servants are on vacation. The old lady is old. I cooked the New Year's Eve dinner. From morning until now, I finally took a breath."

Ximei, "Zhong Nanqin married you, it was a blessing I had cultivated in my previous life."

Su Mian, "Then hell said that."

Yu Miao gave her a look of contempt, "You have only a little success."

Chen Ruhua, "I will go back to Beicheng tomorrow. Do you want to make an appointment?"

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

"No, my uncle has already said that he will pick us up."

Ximei, "It's so boring. I just joined the junior high school classmate group and the high school classmate group. I was crazy about grabbing red envelopes, but I couldn't get excited and felt that I was old."

Yu Miao, "I joined the elementary school classmate group, and it was flooded with the screen. The school grass I had crushed in before was also there. He just took the initiative to add me to WeChat."

Ximei, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Comrade Xiao Yu, you have developed early enough. Elementary school has started to play secret love."

Su Mian, "You must be reserved."

Chen Ruhua, "If the other person is as single as you, then go and I support you."

Su Mian was about to say something, and WeChat prompted that there was a group invitation message.

She immediately clicked and saw that it was a high school classmate group.

There are not many members in the group, only a dozen people.

Su Mian accepted the invitation, and she went in, and Chen Ruhua also went in.

Two beauties, who were called the first high school in Beicheng, came in together. The people in the group, especially the male classmates, were extremely excited.

The group leader was the class monitor of Su Mian class back then, a male classmate named Li Jian.

He immediately sent a red envelope, thanking the two beauties for accepting the invitation and giving him such a great deal of face.

When the male classmates saw that the class monitor had started, they all sent red envelopes. At this moment, people were still entering the WeChat group.

Newcomers are constantly entering the group.

Chen Ruhua has a lively personality and soon got along with the people in the group. Su Mian also said a few words and immediately received WeChat messages from many classmates.

Su Mian accepted everything he knew.

Everyone in the group was sending red envelopes. Chen Ruhua had already sent several of them. Su Mian was about to send one, but suddenly he received a private chat voice sent by Chen Ruhua.

"Old Su," Su Mian heard her voice trembling slightly, "I saw Bai Yan."

Bai Yan, a storied figure at Beicheng No. 1 High School, and the top scorer in science for that class of Su Mian.

It was also Chen Ruhua's first love. The two were together since the second year of high school. Although they were not in the same school after graduating from high school, they still did not break up. Until four years ago, Chen Ruhua suddenly proposed to break up with Bai Yan and then married Xiao Mingrui.

Bai Yan then went abroad and never came back.

Even the best friend he had with him back then had no contact.

After four years of separation, I suddenly saw him appearing in the high school classmate group, which not only shocked Chen Ruhua, but everyone was shocked.

Li Jian explained in the group, "I met Bai Yan a few days ago and found out that he had returned to the country at the end of the year. Now he is not only the president of Beicheng Medical University, but also the director of our Beicheng No. 1 Military Region Hospital. He is young and promising, so we students are ashamed of."

Jiangcheng, apartment.

Chen Ruhua sat on the sofa, staring at the phone screen, and watching what Li Jian said on it, tears flowed down her eyes uncontrollably.

Chen Min, who was watching TV, glanced at her inadvertently. Seeing that she was crying, she was so scared that she immediately asked, "What happened?"

Chen Ruhua shook her head, raised her hand and wiped away the tears from her face, without looking at Chen's mother.

She stood up from the sofa, turned around and walked towards the bedroom, and spoke, "Mom, I'll leave it to you tonight, I'll go to bed first."

Mother Chen looked at her figure walking away and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

I'm afraid I remembered that man again.

It’s been four years, why can’t I forget it?

......

After Bai Yan appeared, Chen Ruhua, who was originally very active in the group, never said a word again.

Bai Yan only sent the words "Hello everyone" when he first came in, and disappeared after sending a red envelope.

Su Mian also retreated and sent a message to Chen Ruhua silently, "Have he added you?"

Down like a painting, "No."

Su Mian knew that Chen Ruhua was in a bad mood, so she changed the subject, "Did Yi Yi sleep?"

"Not yet, I'm playing with my dad in the toy room. I'll let my mom sleep with her tonight, and I've already gone to bed."

Su Mian, "What time will the plane be tomorrow?"

"At 8:20, my mother said she would come back early. There are many relatives in the north city. The third year of the junior high school is my grandmother's 80th birthday, so there are a lot of things to prepare."
