Chapter 430 Family Meeting
During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, it’s all about the atmosphere.
With so many people coming to He Daqing's house at once, everyone was relaxed. The women chatted while picking vegetables and helping out. He Daqing and He Yuzhu were in charge of cooking. As for the younger generation, they moved out all the tables, chairs and benches.
The three generations, old, middle-aged and young, each have their own things to do.
But with so many people, it's obvious that one room can't accommodate them all.
There was a table set up in He Daqing's room, and there was also a table set up in the room next door that used to belong to He Yushui and now belongs to Qin Jingru. Even in He Yuzhu's room in the backyard, there was also a table set up.
Although economic conditions are better now, not everyone can afford such a huge New Year's Eve dinner.
"More people means more fun. Look at the He family, they really have a large population!"
In the backyard, Liu Haizhong watched the children swarm into He Yuzhu's house, and couldn't help but look envious.
He also had many sons, but unfortunately, after they grew up, they were busy with their own families. In addition, the room here was small, so he could only come back a few times throughout the year.
Look at it now, the eldest is still outside, and the second and third will not come back until tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings.
Thinking about this, Liu Haizhong was also sighing.
He will never be able to catch up with He Daqing in this life.
In the middle courtyard, as the food was served, He Daqing and a group of women also sat down to eat.
He Daqing glanced around and saw Qin Huairu, Tao Huilan, Qin Jingru, Chen Xueru, Ding Qiunan, Lou Xiaoe, Ran Qiuye and Yu Haitang. This group of people alone filled up the table, not to mention the other two elderly people. Otherwise, there would have been no room left.
The last time it was so lively was more than ten years ago.
He Daqing blinked and sighed with emotion.
He raised his glass and said to everyone,
"Come on, let's have a clink for the sake of everyone's reunion!"
As soon as these words came out, all the female relatives raised their glasses and said with a smile,
"happy New Year!"
After the words were spoken, everyone drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation.
Wine is the lubricant of the banquet atmosphere. The atmosphere was a little awkward just now, but after a glass of wine, everyone's eyes became obviously different.
Yes, after more than ten years of absence, how many more decades are there in life?
We have experienced so much together over the years. It is a rare thing that we can gather here again and taste the craftsmanship of He Daqing and his son.
Qin Huairu looked at He Daqing, then at the other sisters present, and said with a smile,
"Today, while everyone is here, I want to talk about two things. The first is about Yu Shui's wedding. As you can see, Liu Jianguo has a good child. Daqing and I have already discussed it with their family. If nothing unexpected happens, their wedding will be scheduled for May 1st. Everyone should come over then!"
After not seeing each other for so many years, their youth is gone and they have all become elders.
Now that He Yushui is getting married, these people will naturally attend.
"This is a good thing, we must participate!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru took the lead in expressing her opinion.
"Yu Shui has grown up under my watch. So, the wedding will be held in my newly opened hotel. I must marry Yu Shui off in a grand manner!"
Today, her hotel is running normally and is very popular, and her words are full of heroism.
"Count me in!"
Qin Jingru also smiled and said,
"Well, Yushui and Jianguo's wedding dresses are covered. And everyone else, I'll make one for each of you when the time comes!"
