Chapter 211: Chinese New Year (Part 2)

The New Year’s Eve dinner, also known as the reunion dinner, is a meal on the New Year’s Eve of the Lunar New Year. On this day, people are preparing to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and the family gathers together to have dinner together. The annual New Year’s Eve dinner shows the mutual respect and love of Chinese national family members. This mutual respect and love makes the family closer.

The reunion of family members often makes the "head of the family" spiritually comfort and satisfaction. The elderly see that their children and grandchildren are full of family members and family members share family life. The past care and efforts to raise their children are finally in vain. What a happiness this is. And the younger generation can also take this opportunity to express their gratitude to their parents for raising them.

However, with the development of the economy, the New Year atmosphere has become increasingly weak, and many people even believe that the New Year is not as good as the New Year.

But this situation would never happen in Qin Xuebing's home. Even in previous years, there were only two people in the family, and he and Mr. Qin would have made the New Year prosperous.

This year, Qin Xiaoxiao returned home and reunited her family, and the Zhao family had three more. It was difficult to not be prosperous this year. Qin Xiaoxiao's younger brother was Zhao Yi, and he came to school in the south. Zhao Yong had a trip when he had surgery. However, during that time, Qin Xuebing happened to go to the desert to hunt for treasures and did not meet until a few days ago.

The big round table was filled with food, with both the north and south tastes, mostly made by Zhao Qin and Qin Xiaoxiao, and Qin Xuebing also made two dishes.

The family gathered around the table and reunited. Qin Xuebing said, "Grandpa, you are the head of the family, let's say a few words first."

"A lot of things have indeed happened this year, so I'll take a look at the happy events that have happened this year."

Mr. Qin smiled and said happily: "First, the inheritance of our lineage has finally been complete and has improved greatly. When I die in the future, I can still see my master with a smile. Our lineage has not been broken in my hands."

Inheritance is the top priority for both Qimen and Jianghu sects, and is higher than life and death.

"The second joy is that Ayong's surgery was successful and his physical recovery was restored. Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyi, you must remember to be filial to your parents in the future."

Zhao Yong raised Qin Xiaoxiao as his stepfather. In order to support Qin Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yi to go to college, he was exhausted and now he can recover. This is indeed the second joy this year.

"The third joy is that Xiaoxiao is coming home, and our family is finally reunited."

This is the most happy thing for the elderly. When they are old, they can actually find their biological granddaughter: "The fourth joy is that they have achieved success in their military careers and have not insulted our lineage. I won't explain the others in detail, let's toast, and I wish you all peace, happiness and health next year."

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and laughed. This year was a year of harvest for everyone.

Reunion, laughter and joy contain happiness, and happiness and well-being are everywhere in the door of the mansion.

After having a reunion dinner, the family sat in front of the TV to watch the annual Spring Festival Gala. Now, the Spring Festival Gala has become a part of the Chinese New Year. Many families are willing to watch the evening party in front of the TV and chat about the big and small things that have happened in the year.

But what Qin Xuebing did not expect was that at around nine o'clock, Ouyang Zhanjun actually brought Ouyang Xiaomei over, and there was also a man who was in his early thirties.

"Brother, I'm here, take out the firecrackers." Ouyang Xiaomei started yelling as soon as she entered the door, just for the firecrackers.

"You girl, why don't you stay at home with your grandfather?"

Qin Xuebing greeted him, looked at the man, and saw it in the family portrait of Ouyang's family: "You are the second brother, Ouyang Zhanying?"

"That's right, he is the second brother, serving in the navy, with the commander of the ship and the rank of lieutenant colonel."

Ouyang Zhanjun joked: "But don't learn from him. You will only take several months to go to sea. Then your day is not something that people live in."

"Shut up."

Ouyang Zhanying glared at Ouyang Zhanjun and said, "Brother, don't imitate your third brother. Nothing can be achieved except to be a female star."

"I can still play actresses, can you?" Ouyang Zhanjun was not ashamed.

"You have that little prospect." Ouyang Zhanying was very disdainful.

The two were about to quarrel, but a firecracker was accurately cast in the middle of the two with smoke. With a bang, they turned a deaf ear.

"Brother, don't pay attention to them. Every time I meet, I'm so arrogant." Ouyang Xiaomei was happily on the side, hoping that the two of them would fight. This kind of scene often appeared when she was a child, but because of work, it is rarely seen now.

"You girl."

Qin Xuebing smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "Two brothers, let's sit in my yard. Second brother, do you like antiques too? I recently bought two good things, and you can also take a look."

"Okay, I heard that you have a lot of good things here, which is just a big eye today." Although Ouyang Zhanying joined the army, he was influenced by Mr. Ouyang and was also very knowledgeable about antiques. In fact, no one in the Ouyang family doesn't understand antiques.

"You guys, you can get two good things in silence." Ouyang Zhanjun no longer envies Qin Xuebing's good luck, it's just that he is unhappy.

Qin Xuebing invited the two into the study and took out the turquoise ivory cup and black pottery flower pot: "These two pieces were bought from the flower and bird market."

"The ivory cup from the Shang Dynasty, good things."

Ouyang Zhanying picked up the ivory cup and couldn't put it down. He was amazed: "The exquisitely made and preserved intact can fully reflect the use of object odor during the Shang Dynasty, and it intuitively reflects the culture of the time. With this alone, its value is incalculable."

"This thing is even more precious from the Neolithic black pottery."

Ouyang Zhanjun was surprised with the flower pot: "Although it cannot be said to be the thinnest black pottery, its craftsmanship is absolutely first-class, completely reaching the texture of black as lacquer and as thin as paper. The workmanship can already reflect the cultural craftsmanship at that time. I said, why is your luck so good? You can meet any good things."

"I rely on my eyesight. Do you think everyone depends on luck like you." Ouyang Zhanying said immediately. No matter how you look at Ouyang Zhanjun, he didn't like him.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Ouyang's family does not have many people, at least not many than other big families. There are only five third-generation male children, the eldest died when he was very young, the youngest disappeared since childhood, and there are only three male children.

Ouyang Zhanying is the third brother who serves in the navy and the fourth brother who serves in the army. It belongs to two systems. It is difficult for the two brothers to take care of each other. They always want to bring Ouyang Zhanjun to serve in the navy. However, Ouyang Zhanjun made a choice very early, so they always dislike Ouyang Zhanjun.

Qin Xuebing was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so he quickly changed the topic: "Second brother, I have something to do next year. Can you help me?"

"We are brothers. We have broken bones and tendons connected to each other. If you have any questions, please don't be polite." Ouyang Zhanying said.

"That's right. I'm going to go out to sea next year. Can my second brother help me get a batch of weapons?" Qin Xuebing must go out to sea next year, but he is not prepared to use the ships and crew provided by the French down payment, as that will inevitably be restrained everywhere and even unsafe.
