At 7:30 pm, the New Year’s Eve dinner was served, and the house became even more lively and festive.

The dishes were served one by one, and the rich aroma of the meal made them praise them.

"I really like Ningning's cooking skills. The little girl has grown up. I really don't know which brat will be cheaper in the future. You have to help her with your eyes. We only have such a daughter in our family, so we can't be bullied in the future." Grandpa Jiang sat down at the dining table and said to Lao Yao.

"We can only watch this kind of thing. If she really likes it, others may not be able to persuade her. However, Ningning, a child, knows it, and she will definitely live a better life in the future." Uncle Yao was also happy.

Xie Zheng brought Xu Rui to the dining table. Listening to the two old men’s discussions, he said to himself, Grandpa, the bad guy you are talking about is him.

Qin Xuejuan probably knows about Xu Ning and Xie Zheng. The two children's confidentiality work is good, and there is no sign of it.

Xie Zheng is about to graduate from college next year. Gao Xiulan is reluctant to part with Xu Ning on the one hand, and on the other hand, she also urges her grandson to bring a girl back soon. She is always depressed by the thoughts at both ends.

"Xiao Zheng is going to the army next year?" At the dinner table, Lao Yao poured Xie Zheng a glass of white wine, "Just drink a cup of it."

Xie Zheng did not refuse, his alcohol tolerance was still very good, "Well, continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination while working."

"The same is true after Ningning graduated from university?" Grandpa Jiang asked Xu Ning.

"I want to study clinical studies based on pharmacy. If I have the chance, I want to go to a foreign university to study. Traditional Chinese medicine is naturally the world's top in China, but Western medicine still needs to work harder abroad. The specific details depend on my own efforts." Unscrew a bottle of juice and poured it on myself and my brother. The two grandmothers and mothers were drinking rice wine.

Xie Zheng glanced at Xu Ning, then lowered his head to continue eating.

He also has to go abroad to study. When will he get married? I'm afraid he has no hope for ten or eight years?

Is this girl deliberately trying to ruin him?

But she likes to study, and she must support herself, after all, this is not a bad thing.

I hope this girl can work harder and strive to complete her studies as soon as possible so that she can bring her wife home and have a baby.

Soon, several old men talked about wanting to go out for a trip next year, but the four of them hit it off. They went to Haicheng together after the first month of the year, and then if they felt that their physical strength was OK, they would go abroad to have fun together.

Of course, if they go abroad, the four of them cannot travel freely. Then, they will check if there are any foreign languages ​​who can speak with their companions. There is an elderly activity center nearby. Although they don’t go there often, there are retired professors and other industries in it, and they can always find people to go with them.

At about eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala started, and their supper was just half past.

When Xu Rui saw this, he asked his sister to pick up the dishes from his bowl, and then brought them to the sand and sat while eating while watching. The rest of the people were still sitting around the dining table, eating while chatting.

At half past eight, supper was over. Xu Ning was about to pack up the food, but his grandmother took it away.

"You have been busy all night, so we can just pack up for dinner and go watch TV."

"It's okay, it's only a dozen minutes." Xu Ning wanted to persist, but was coaxed away by his grandmother.

In the living room, everyone was sitting on the sand and soft stools watching the Spring Festival Gala on the TV. The coffee table was filled with various Tang fruits and dried fruits. Xu Ning also went to the kitchen to brew sugar water for her younger brother. She was holding a tea cup and drinking her own fried tea.

"Let's go out together tonight." Xie Zheng said to Xu Ning.

"Where to go?" It was very cold outside. Although the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is very strong now, it still cannot withstand the cold.

Xie Zheng pointed to a direction outside and smiled and said, "Fireworks are set off in the Forbidden City Square tonight. Don't you want to go and see them?"

"It's okay to go and have a look." Xu Ning thought about it and nodded in agreement.

When Xu Rui heard this, he quickly raised his hand and said, "I'll go too."

"You are indispensable." Xu Ning hugged his younger brother and smiled.

At eleven o'clock, Xu Ning took his brother back to his room and changed into thick clothes, and then took him and Xie Zheng out.

Although it was almost midnight, the entire imperial capital was brightly lit. Tonight, many people had lanterns hanging in front of their doors, and some were fashionable with colorful lanterns. Small bulbs of various colors flashed like lanterns, which attracted Xu Rui's admiration.

The streets and alleys were filled with people, especially when they came to the main road, there were more people gathering together in groups of three or three. Almost all of them were heading in one direction, and their destination was the same as Xu Ning and his group.

Walking here, I waited for half an hour to arrive at the Forbidden City Square, and the fireworks started from midnight to half an hour. As for the New Year's Eve dinner, I could eat it later.

The temperature was very cold tonight. Even though there were so many people on the street, the wind whistled by, and I still had to tremble with it.

When I arrived at the Forbidden City Square, there were already dense crowds of people gathered here, and there were less than five minutes before the fireworks were blooming.

Because today there are so many people, the three of them did not squeeze into the front, but watched across the road. Because the front was flat and there was no barrier from any buildings, there was no need to worry about not being able to see it later.

Xie Zheng stood behind Xu Rui, put one hand on the little guy's shoulder and the other hand on Xu Ning, because there were vegetation bushes behind him. Although there were street lights, no one could see the intimate appearance of the young couple without walking over.

I felt very cold before, but when Xie Zheng held his hand, Xu Ning suddenly felt a little sweaty.

"Is Ruirui cold?" Xie Zheng asked with his head down.

Xu Rui shook his head, "Brother, can we see fireworks here?"

"Yes!" Xie Zheng rubbed his head, "If you are short, you may not be able to see it. There is no problem here. There are many people in the square tonight. If you accidentally scatter, we will not be able to find you. Safety is the most important thing."

"Okay." The little guy was not depressed, as long as he could see it, it didn't matter before and after.

When the bell rang at twelve o'clock, the other side of the square boiled with the first sound, and then a whole row of fireworks flew into the sky in an instant and gradually dissipated when they reached a certain height.

Although fireworks have been set off here every year over the years, it does not prevent the public from watching. Even if I saw them last year, I will still feel very fresh when I watch them again this year.

There seemed to be a family not far from Xu Ning. A little girl was resisted by her father on her shoulder. When she saw the fireworks, she couldn't help laughing out loud, which was pleasant and crisp.

Then fireworks flew up high altitude, and the entire sky was rendered dazzlingly during this period.

Xie Zheng did not pay much attention to fireworks. After he was 30 years old in his previous life, he almost always gathered with many leaders in the central auditorium for the New Year during the Chinese New Year. Then he would stand with them on the Forbidden City Tower to watch fireworks. At that time, Chen Qianwen was beside him. Xie Zheng could see that Chen Qianwen, who was standing beside him, was very impatient with this kind of activity, and he didn't care anything. Anyway, the two were just formal and had no common language.

If Xu Ning was standing by her side in this life, would she be like this many years later, staring at the fireworks blooming in the night sky, smiling with her eyebrows and feeling happy?

The handshake was changed to ten fingers tightly, and the little girl turned her head and looked at her, "Brother Zheng, there are fireworks in your eyes, it's very beautiful."

Xie Zheng felt soft in his heart, he bent down to her ear, and said hoarsely: "You have me in your eyes, it's very beautiful."

Xu Ning was so flirted with this sentence that although he stared at the fireworks in the square throughout the whole time, he couldn't calm down.

At half past twelve, the fireworks ended, and the three of them turned around and walked home.

Xu Rui didn't know what was going on between his brothers and sisters, so he let the two of them hold his hand. He played in the swing in the middle mischievously.

Xie Zheng did not continue to tease Xu Ning. He knew that this girl was shy when facing him. If she continued to tease, she might be able to burn herself to death.

Anyway, the future is long, and he has a lifetime of time with her and will spend his whole life teasing this little girl.

When they returned home, the elders had not cooked yet. The two grandmas chatting standing at the kitchen door saw them coming back and hurried in to get 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 and warmed him.

After eating dumplings, Xu Rui went to bed yawning.

"Ningning, if you are sleepy, go to bed early. We are not in the village. You children don't have to follow us to watch the night. You eat in the morning and call you to go to bed."

Yu Chunhua cleaned up the dishes and told her.

Xu Ning felt sleepy, so he said hello to them and yawned back to the room.

Xie Zheng could not follow him. Now Xu Ning is going to sleep, and his room is upstairs here, which is not as good as the past.

Fortunately, I have kissed it once today, which has temporarily relieved my hunger and thirst. I will talk about it later when I find an opportunity.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Xu Ning had no place to pay New Year's greetings. Moreover, it snowed heavily on the second night of the Chinese New Year, and the temperature dropped several degrees. It was so cold that people wanted to hide at home and not go out, which was just as Xu Ning's wish.

But since the third year of junior high school, there have been old men and ladies at home. They are all old friends that grandparents meet outside, and some of them get along well in the elderly community.

Compared to the old lady, the old man has it every day, and they all come to play chess with his grandfather. What surprised Xu Ning was that his grandfather actually played many kinds of chess.

Both Go and chess are very powerful, while chess, military flags, and checkers are also very powerful, even Goji is awesome.

Grandpa is a mangled pen and calligraphy, with a silver hook, flying dragon and phoenix dance, and has a powerful Chinese medicine skill. If he is decades younger, the girl who likes him may have to line up from his doorstep to the Forbidden City.

Xie Zheng is unhappy during the Chinese New Year. Many old men from military families in the imperial capital are his elders, and they have to take advantage of the Lantern Festival every year.

But this year Xie Zheng came to the Chen family and met Chen Qianwen.

"Xie Zheng is here, come in and sit in." Mr. Chen Yuanqi kindly greeted Xie Zheng, "This is my granddaughter Qianqian, Chen Qianwen. She has been studying abroad since high school. She usually comes back for Christmas there. She hasn't been at home for several years. She graduated last year and only celebrates the Spring Festival at home."

"Happy New Year at Grandpa Chen." Xie Zheng handed the New Year gift to the servant, then sat down opposite Chen Yuanqi, nodded at Chen Qianwen, "Hello Qianwen."

Chen Yuanqi's identity was the same as Xie Hongjia at the time, but his ability was not as good as Xie Hongjia, just because Xie Hongjia had been abroad and had a lot of knowledge. After driving the great powers out of China, he held an important position in the central government. Unfortunately, he did not survive the catastrophe later.

He and Xie Hongjia had a good relationship at the beginning, but now he treats Xie Zheng as his grandson.

But no matter how you treat your own grandson, Xie Zheng has no blood relationship with him after all. Now he has a sensible and deeply loved granddaughter by his side. These two young people can be used together.

Chen Qianwen greeted Xie Zheng, poured him a cup of tea, and sat beside his grandfather and listened to the two of them chatting.

Before Xie Zheng came, Chen Qianwen heard her grandfather talk about Xie Zheng, and she liked her endlessly and asked her for her opinion.

She is not stupid, and Chen Qianwen knows what the purpose behind her grandfather said is.

Now that she met Xie Zheng in person, she had to say that she was indeed a very excellent man.

But you can't like him just because he is very good. If feelings are so casual, there are too many excellent men in this world, and she can't like him at all.

Chen Qianwen has someone she likes in her heart, but the moment she falls in love with her, she is destined to be unable to get happiness. The other party cannot communicate with her in any way.

Since she can't be together, she can't be single until she grows old in her life, so it's not that important to marry anyone. However, in her married life, she cannot take care of her husband and children at home. The books she has been studying for so many years are not going to be spent on the food, rice, oil and salt.

"I'm going to the army after graduation. How are you doing?" Chen Yuanqi looked at Xie Zheng, and the elders in his eyes could not suppress their kindness at all. The caring eyes were not plotting in it.

Now he is the only one left in the Xie family. Although Chen Yuanqi has retired, his influence is not low at all, and nothing is worth his calculations.

On the battlefield, Xie Hongjia saved his life, so as an elder who had a lifelong relationship 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 nothing else to think about. Xie Zheng is a very outstanding child. I believe that there is no old guy of his generation who doesn’t like this.
