Chapter 167: New Year's Day Wine
Chapter 167: New Year's Day Wine
Gu Jiangzhou took the wine down, and as soon as he opened the bottle cap, a rich and mellow aroma of wine wafted out.
"Good wine! Qiyuan, pour me some quickly." Grandpa Gu was tempted by the wine urge and quickly asked his grandson to fill his glass with wine.
Gu Jiangzhou didn't waste any words. He also smelled the aroma of the wine and wanted to taste it.
Gu Jiangzhou poured a cup for everyone, including his grandmother and mother. When they saw the cups of wine raised in front of them, they were stunned for a moment.
Following the little hand holding the wine cup, I saw the little eager and bright eyes, and the little face was full of "I want to drink too".
"Xiaoxiao, you can't drink alcohol, drink this soda." As he said this, he handed the soda he had prepared to his young wife.
Looking at the soda bottle in her hand, Han Yunya was dumbfounded. What do you mean I can't drink? Today is New Year's Day! Everyone has their own reasons. Why can't I drink? I want to drink too.
As if he saw through Han Yunya's thoughts, Gu Jiangzhou poured himself a cup of wine, and then poured the remaining wine into two wine jugs and placed them on both sides.
"You are not feeling well, you can't drink."
"I feel better, so I want to drink."
Why can this character with poor health stop himself from drinking? I have been fine for a long time, okay? I have said it many times, why doesn't anyone believe me?
"Come on, Xiao Xiao, this wine doesn't taste good, and it's the same if you drink soda."
The tone, which sounded like coaxing a child, made Han Yunya feel uncomfortable instantly.
The wine is not good, why are you so eager to try it, are you kidding me? It's not like I haven't drunk wine before, you are just lying.
Can wine and soda be the same?
This is what I took out, just to be able to drink Miyaguchi sake, is it easy for me?
You stinky man, you've gone too far!
Looking at Han Yunya who was so angry that she turned into a puffer fish, Grandpa Gu and the others held back their laughter and watched the excitement.
Looking at the elders in the family, who all seemed to be enjoying the fun, Gu Jiangzhou felt his head buzzing.
Look at Xiaoxiao next to me, she looks like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
"Xiaoxiao, today is New Year's Eve. Let's toast to grandpa and grandma together!" Gu Jiangzhou could only remind Han Yunya that now was not the time to get angry. Today was New Year's Day, and she should not let her elders laugh at her.
Han Yunya's face turned red instantly. When did she become so childish and so ignorant of the situation... She was now bringing shame upon herself.
Han Yunya still stood up pretending to be generous, toasted the two elderly people with soda and said: "Grandpa and grandma, Jiangzhou and I toast to you and wish you good health and everything goes well in the new year."
Gu Jiangzhou raised his lips, and stood beside Han Yunya and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I wish you good health and everything goes well."
"Okay, okay!" Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu both laughed happily and drank the wine in the cups together.
Afterwards, the young couple toasted Gu Bohong and his wife before sitting down to eat.
The family talked and laughed. The meal lasted two hours. In the end, the two bottles of wine that Han Yunya brought out were all drunk. Grandpa Gu brought out another bottle of wine before they had enough to drink.
It was the first time for Grandpa Gu and Dad Gu to drink in such a relaxed manner. They all drank a little too much, and after dinner they were sent back to their rooms to rest.
Han Yunya cleaned up the kitchen with her mother-in-law and sat on the sofa.
"Xiaoxiao, you've been busy for so long, go back to your room and rest for a while!"
"Grandma, I understand." Han Yunya said, greeted her mother-in-law, and went upstairs.
Yan Yu'e looked at her daughter-in-law, and thought of how she had just secretly licked Qi Yuan's wine glass and when she was caught, she had that ingratiating smile on her face, with her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon.
"Mom, did you see that just now? Xiaoxiao was craving for wine and secretly licked Qiyuan's wine."
"I saw it. It looked like a kitten stealing some fish. It was so cute." Grandma Gu also said with a smile.
"Everyone says daughters are good. Daughters are the little cotton-padded jackets of their parents. Look at how small they are, mom. How can I not like them?" Yan Yu'e said with a smile.
"Yes! Xiaoxiao is so adorable. You should go back and lie down too!"
Yan Yu'e said a few words and went back to rest.
Xinglong Village
At the Han family, everyone was sitting at the table, looking at the sumptuous dishes. They were happy but also missed Han Yunya a little.
"Mom, I wonder if Xiaoxiao is getting used to living in Kyoto?" Han Yunyao asked.
I don’t know if those people in Kyoto have made things difficult for my Xiaoxiao. But when I think of my Xiaoxiao’s personality, I know that Xiaoxiao will not cause trouble for others.
Han Yunyao suddenly recalled that since her rebirth, she has really been trying hard to change everything.
A lot of things happened to their family during this year. First, they broke up and separated from each other. Then, after Xiaoxiao was rescued from drowning, they got engaged. A new house was built at home, and the second brother got a formal job in the county. Then, the eldest brother married the eldest sister-in-law Zhou Yan, and soon they had a child. Finally, he got what he wanted and was really together with Cheng Jinhan.
Gu Jiangzhou was injured and went to visit his relatives in the army. They held their wedding in the army. The second brother also had a second sister-in-law Lin You in the county.
"With Gu Jiangzhou here, Xiaoxiao won't be wronged." Han Jinglin said this, but he still had no confidence in his heart.
"Don't think too much. Our Xiaoxiao will definitely be happy. A lot of things happened in our family this year, all good things. The eldest and the second child got married, and Yunyao also has her own partner." Xu Yuemei said happily. After the family separated, life became better and better.
"Yes! We should be happy during the New Year this year." Han Jinglin also said with a smile.
The life he is living now is something he never dared to imagine before. His children have all started families and Xiaoxiao has also married a good husband. Now Yunyao is the only one who has not started a family, but she has her own partner.
When Yunyao gets married, Yuemei and I will have completed our mission, and we will take good care of their child.
"Mom and Dad, you've worked hard. Yun Yang and I would like to offer you a toast." Zhou Yan picked up her own glass of water, pulled her husband up, and toasted her parents-in-law.
Since marrying into the Han family, I have lived the happiest life in all these years. I feel like I have a complete and warm family again.
Not only did the Han family allow her to send food to her parents every month, they also tried their best to tolerate her. Zhou Yan was truly grateful to the Han family.
"Mom and Dad, Lin You and I also toast you." Han Yunzheng pulled Lin You up and toasted.
"Mom and Dad, you have worked hard over the years. I salute you on behalf of Xiaoxiao and myself."
"We all have to be fine." Xu Yuemei's eyes were sore and slightly red.
"We are a happy and harmonious family." Han Jinglin smiled, his eyes sore.
The children have all grown up.
If Xiaoxiao were at home too, the house would be more lively.
In the evening, Grandpa Gu went to attend the state banquet, and Gu Bohong and Yan Yu'e also went to the army to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers.
"Grandma, do we celebrate like this every year at home?" Han Yunya couldn't help but ask.
"That's about right! Your grandfather and I will go to the state banquet, and your father and mother will go to the army to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers. When they come back in the evening, we will keep watch together." Grandma Gu said with a smile.
This year, Qiyuan and Xiaoxiao are at home, and I don’t want to go to the state banquet with my old man. It’s the same every year. I might as well stay at home with the children!
Only then did Han Yunya realize that the reason her aunt was at home was to accompany her and Gu Jiangzhou, otherwise her grandmother would have gone to attend the state banquet long ago.
At this time, Han Yunya deeply realized the necessity of matching people of equal status. People of different levels come into contact with different people and things.
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.
Gu Jiangzhou and Han Yunya accompanied their grandmother at home to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner and make dumplings.
In order to bring good luck, Han Yunya specially wrapped a few coins in the dumplings.
After 10 o'clock in the evening, Grandpa Gu, Dad Gu, and Mom Gu returned home one after another.
The dumplings with coins were very popular, and everyone except Yan Yu'e got to eat the coins.
Yan Yu'e didn't get to eat the coin, so she frowned and asked, "Xiao Xiao, how many did you pack?"
"Mom, I put nine coins in it."
Han Yunya deliberately put a few more coins in the bowl, thinking that everyone could have some, but who knew that her mother-in-law never got to eat any!
Guard Xiao Jin and his friends ate three, and there was a coin in the remaining dumplings.
Yan Yu'e started eating again, not believing in evil. It was not until she ate a coin that she put down her chopsticks with a smile.
The family sat in the living room, talking and laughing, keeping vigil together.
