C182 An unforgettable New Year's Eve meal

felt a wave of relief, but he was still a bit emotional and remained silent.

"Say something, Big stupid bear, why are you not saying anything? Did you not see me ask you? " Floating Dream continued.

"Hmph, what do you want to say? What's the point?" If I don't speak, will you ignore me? " Chu Tian asked a series of rhetorical questions.

"Oh, the Big stupid bear seems to be in a good mood, what's going on? Is it because I haven't left a message for you in the past few days? "

Big Sister Meng is so smart, she can immediately tell what's on her mind. The grievances in Chu Tian's heart started to rise, "Say it yourself, in these three days, you actually didn't leave a single word for me. You didn't even ask where I was, or if I was going home, or if everything was going well."

"Hehe, Big stupid bear, I've been running around on the road these few days, so I don't have time to play WeChat. I do not need to ask to know that your return journey will be smooth sailing, because I have already entrusted Buddha to help you get home safely. I have often prayed for you, hehe … " Sister Meng was not angry at all. She seemed to be very happy.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tian was completely disheartened. He had completely forgiven Meng-jie, "Sis, I was a bit reckless just now, and have missed you these past few days. When I'm free, my mind would be full of you.

"Hehe, I understand the Big stupid bear, it's New Year's Eve today, I'm at brother's house, and I'm going to have New Year's Eve meal soon, you're going to have the New Year's dinner soon too, aren't you?"

"Eat later, sis. Mesu is at my house. We can have New Year's Eve dinner together. When are you free, we can chat again?" Chu Tian asked.

"Any time is fine, if you're free I'm free, hehe …" "First, I have to busy myself with my family, eat a good New Year's dinner, and accompany my family. After that, we can talk about it in detail, okay?"

"Alright." Chu Tian was very happy, "When I'm done, I'll go on WeChat. You said it yourself, when I'm free, you'll be free.

As if in a dream, he replied, "Yes, yes, great brother. Of course, let's leave it like this first. I'm going to have New Year's Eve meal with my little brother."

"Goodbye, Sis."

Just as Chu Tian finished talking to Floating Dream, his mother's voice came from outside: "Baby, Mac, time to eat."

Chu Tian quickly put away his phone and left the room.

When Chu Tian just entered the hall, Mai Su also came out.

"Where did you run off to just now?" Mai Su looked at Chu Tian with a smile that was not a smile.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to my room to test my cell phone's signal." Chu Tian proudly looked at Mai Su.

"Eh …" "I thought you wouldn't want to see my WeChat and you ran out in anger."

"What?" Mom came in just in time to hear, "What did the baby do? Must see what wheat? I'm telling you, baby, you're not allowed to bully wheat, or your mom will spank you. "

Mai Su and Chu Tian were laughing their heads off.

I was just teasing Chu Tian. He didn't bully me, if he really does bully me, I'll complain to you. "

"That's good." "Come, the table is ready, the dishes are ready, the baby is pouring wine. Tonight, our family will have a drink for the new year. Bao's father has made the stove a little brighter, wheat is from the south, they can't stand the cold weather in the north …"

Chu Tian took out two bottles of aged wine and poured them on top of each other.

Drinking in the countryside was still an old habit. It was a very small type of wine cup, each cup cost about 5 yuan.

Then, Chu Tian poured the remaining wine into the teapot and warmed it slowly.

Chu Tian's father liked to drink, but he didn't have a lot of alcohol. As for his mother, she didn't drink much, but she did have a lot of alcohol. Until now, Chu Tian still did not know how much his mother could drink, because there were very few opportunities for rural women to drink.

Chu Tian had always thought that his alcohol tolerance had been inherited from his mother.

Dad added some more anthracite to the stove, and the fire was blazing. The atmosphere in the room was warm and peaceful.

Everyone sat around the Eight Immortals Table. Chu Tian and his father sat facing each other with his back to the north, his mother to his father's right, while Mai Su sat on his father's left.

The dishes for the New Year's Eve meal were very sumptuous. They were all mountain specialties: stewed chicken with mushrooms, stewed hare with radishes, fried turtles, and unknown wild vegetables. They were all pure and natural.

The 7 o'clock news broadcast had just started and the New Year's Eve meal had just begun.

His father sat upright at the front post and picked up the wine cup, "Mom, today's baby is home. Our family is reunited again. Although Soo Soo isn't able to come back for the new year and we are missing a girl, this year's New Year at our house is equivalent to our daughter coming." "Since wheat is my baby's friend, it's also our honor to be able to stay at my house for the new year, especially since we travelled thousands of miles from the south. I won't say anything else about the new year, but I just want to welcome you to my house for the new year."

Mai Su held the wine cup and looked at Chu Tian's father with his big and bright eyes.

"We don't drink the first cup of wine." Dad slowly poured the wine cup onto the ground, "To my baby's grandparents who passed away with the first goblet of wine. Give them and their parents a happy new year, let them have a happy new year in the other world."

They all spilled their glasses of wine on the floor, just like their father.

Dad suddenly turned to Masoo. "Mac, are all your old people still alive?"

"Grandpa, grandma, dad died. Mom is safe." Mesu replied.

His father nodded. "My daughter, pour some wine."

Mesu filled them one by one with a thermos of wine.

His father raised his glass and said, "Let's not drink the second goblet of wine. Let's toast to the deceased elders of the Mai family and offer them new year's greetings from the north. We wish them a safe life in another world."

Mesu looked gratefully at her father. "Thank you, uncle."

They spilled a second glass of wine on the floor.

After pouring the third glass, dad took it up and looked around happily, saying, "Today is New Year's Eve, we are having a happy New Year, and wish everyone a happy family reunion. We will have a drink together, and this wine has three meanings, one is to welcome Mac to our family, and the other is to welcome Mac to our house for a experiential life. The baby has been out for all these years, and it's good for this year, otherwise my leg surgery would have been a waste of the 100 thousand dollars my baby sent me. Not long after I finished my surgery, the doctor told me to drink less, but since I'm happy today, I'll make an exception and have a drink.

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and toasted.

His mother looked at him and said, "My daughter, if you can't drink, then take a sip. There's no need to get rid of it."

"Auntie, I'm fine," Mesu said with a smile. "It's okay to drink."

Mother busied herself with calling Mesu for food. "Wheat, treat this place as your own home, white restraint (don't be restrained), white stop chopsticks (don't stop chopsticks), knife (sandwich), evil eat (eat more)."

His mother spoke so many dialects at once that Messi could no longer hear her clearly. However, he seemed to understand her intention of letting him eat more. He hurriedly nodded with a smile.

Chu Tian stood up and placed the cups in front of his parents into their hands, "Dad, mom, it's the new year today, let me toast all of you.

His parents happily downed the wine in one gulp.

Then, Chu Tian sat down.

The elder sat there unmoving, the junior did not drink from the cup, the junior had to stand there and drink from the cup before he could sit down. The elder had to drink from the cup, and the junior had to drink from the cup before he could sit down.

Mai Su looked at Chu Tian's actions carefully. After Chu Tian finished honoring her, she immediately poured wine for Chu Tian's parents, then stood up and did the same as Chu Tian, carrying the wine for his parents and speaking in Shandong language: "Uncle, Aunt, this is my first time back here in Shandong for the new year. I don't understand the customs of your land, I too emulate Chu Tian's actions of bringing a cup of wine for the two elders, hoping uncle and Aunt will have good health."

Missu's shoddy Shandong language with its rich southern flavor sounded really fun to hear. Chu Tian was so happy that his mouth was half opened as he foolishly looked at Mesu.

Chu Tian's parents were so happy that they drained their goblets in one gulp and called out to Mai Su happily, "Hurry up and sit down, my daughter.

Messi waited until his parents had placed their glasses on the table before sitting down.

Chu Tian looked at Mai Su's actions. This girl learned very quickly, had a strong adaptability and had a meticulous heart.

The food prepared by his parents was very delicious, Chu Tian ate happily and asked Mai Su, "How's the taste?"

"Delicious. Delicious." "These dishes really suit my taste."

"These are all pure green wild vegetables and wild game, the most orthodox agricultural dish in the mountains." Chu Tian laughed and said.

"This scorpion is so delicious." Mesu said, pointing to the orange scorpion on the plate.

"Your uncle went to the mountain to catch these. They were all fried by live scorpions." Mom giggled as she looked at Mesu and said happily, "Wheat, if you like it, then eat more."

"Come, daughter," he said, "I'll bring a glass of wine to your mother and your family, and a new year to them."

Mesu hurriedly stood up and lifted her own cup of wine with both hands. She lowered her cup a little bit lower than her father's cup and clinked her glass with his. "Thank you, Uncle."

Then Mesu sat down.

Chu Tian looked at them and thought, Heh, Mesu is really good, she even knows about the etiquette of toasting from the north. This kind of drinking and clinking glasses etiquette was a way for juniors to show respect to their elders or subordinates who were drinking with their superiors. If their peers drank like this, they would show great respect to their superiors. The south was far worse in this aspect. They didn't care about that at all. They just shouted loudly. It didn't matter if they were elders or juniors; it didn't matter if they were old or young.

This was the difference between the wine culture of the north and the south.

After the procedures were completed, everyone began to eat and drink.

The Spring Festival Gala began at 8 PM and it was almost here.

Mai Su picked up the wine pot and poured it both for Chu Tian and himself, then raised the wine cup and looked at Chu Tian with excitement: "Chu Tian, let me toast you."

Mesu's expression was solemn, unlike her usual expression. There was a strange look in her eyes.

Chu Tian was at a loss of what to do and quickly raised his wine cup.

Mai Su's bright eyes continued to look at Chu Tian. "I have known you for a period of time, and I have felt your rapid progress, and I have also felt your rapid growth. Spring Festival has arrived, and I congratulate you on your past achievements. "Come, let me toast you."

Chu Tian immediately raised his glass: "Thank you, Mai Su, cheers!"

had just moved the wine cup downwards, and Mai Su's had also moved downwards at the same time. After the two of them went back and forth, the last two wine cups reached the table at the same time.

Chu Tian looked at Mai Su and laughed. "Let's pay our respects to each other.

Mesu smiled and raised her glass.

Seeing the couple eating out of mutual respect, Mom was overjoyed. She stood up and said, "You two continue to drink. Your father and I will go get some dumplings."

"Aunt, let me go with you to the dumplings so that Uncle and Chu Tian can have a drink and chat."

Mother smiled. "Alright, let's go to boiler room together."

Chu Tian knew that his mother would definitely be happy to see him go to boiler room. His mother would definitely have a stomach to talk to him about, heh, talk about it, as long as his mother did not reveal anything.

Ma and Mai Su went out, leaving and his father in the living room.
