Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

For the first time in his two lives, Mi met his family to celebrate the New Year. He felt an indescribable joy in his heart. It felt like his long-cherished wish had finally come true. This world was worth it.

The newlyweds and their daughter-in-law are pregnant again. Together, the old Zhang family and the old Mi family decided to celebrate the new year with a family reunion, blessings, happiness, longevity, and 22 dishes.

It was a rare occasion to get together to celebrate the next year. Mi saw that she liked to be quiet and said she didn't want to have too many outsiders coming in and out of the house, which would make her feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Xuan understood instantly and knew that she had been enduring this for a long time.

So we discussed it with her and finally gave most of the chefs their annual leave, except for one Cantonese chef who suited her taste the most.

Originally, according to Mi Jian's idea, she didn't have a big appetite, and there were many dishes she wasn't used to, so she wouldn't need to hire those chefs after the year, saying that it would save a lot of money.

But Zhang Xuan felt that it was not good to dismiss others rashly, and he didn't care. He was just afraid of losing Li Wendong's face. After all, these people were invited by the other party in the first place, and they all had good relations with Brother Li. Finally, Wen Yu and his wife came up with a compromise. The chefs would go to work at An Chang Club after the year, and he would pay their salaries.

The drunk Tao Ge said domineeringly: Actually, it doesn't matter if you really fire me. With the strength of you and Brother Li, these people don't dare to complain even behind your back.

Zhang Xuan answered with a smile: You didn't come earlier. If you had come earlier, I would have left this job to you.

After dinner, Wen Yu asked Tao Ge: You really don't want to celebrate the New Year here?

Tao Ge shook his head.

Li Wendong chatted: If you can't celebrate the Chinese New Year at Zhang Xuan's place, you can come and spend it with me and your sister-in-law. It's the last day tomorrow, so there's no need to run around like that.

Tao Ge stretched and said, I made an appointment with Seagate to spend time together in Dunhuang this year. She called me and prepared all the New Year dishes and was waiting for me to go.

Having said this, several people could no longer persuade her, so Zhang Xuan personally took her to the airport.

After Zhao Lei wisely got out of the car, Tao Ge, who had drunk too much, took the initiative to kiss him.

The old man didn't shy away, stretched out his hands to support her body, and kissed her back passionately.

After three fierce kisses, Tao Ge let go of him and asked, When is the expected date of birth of the child?

Zhang Xuan replied: I was pregnant in August last year, and now it's mid-February. The doctor said there are still about three months left.

Tao Ge calculated, That's mid-May?

Zhang Xuan nodded: It may be delayed for a few weeks. This depends on the actual situation at that time.

Tao Ge smoothed his hair with his right hand: Okay, sister will come to the capital in May to congratulate you.

Then she added: Anyway, it's been more than 3 months. You have been spending more time with Mi Jian lately. Don't run around. Seagate can wait until the baby is born before coming over.

Zhang Xuan also had the same idea, Seagate is here to help you. She is still young and lacks experience in many areas. Please help me take care of her.

Tao Ge followed his usual behavior and rolled his eyes and got out of the car.

Back in Nanluogu Lane, Zhang Xuan first watched a movie with Mi Jian, and then she went to bed because she felt sleepy. He ran to the kitchen to help with things, washing and choosing vegetables. He had a great time, and even Still vying to be the chef.

Ruan Xiuqin knew his cooking skills very well, and Liu Yi and his wife were almost familiar with it, and they were very relieved. But his grandparents refused to let him go and pushed him away from the kitchen, saying that the hands of great writers are very precious and should only be used for reading and writing, and the rest of the time can be spent relaxing and resting.

Zhang Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this. After taking a shower with the new New Year clothes prepared by Mi Jian, he went to the study.

First, they called Lao Du's home. Shuangling was not there, so Ai Qing answered the phone and said that Shuangling had taken her classmates to her aunt's house and would be back in the afternoon.

When she called her bodyguard Chen Yan, she was even more speechless. The two actors had given her the annual leave and were now celebrating the New Year in her hometown.

After hanging up the phone, he turned around the mobile phone in his hand and complained about why the smiling tiger refused to use his mobile phone. It was really inconvenient to contact him.

I found Wenhui's number and called her, but still no answer.

But the girl immediately responded to the text message: This year we are celebrating the New Year in our hometown in Yangzhou, and my mother and I are cooking in the kitchen.

After carefully reading the text message twice, Zhang Xuan understood that Comrade Zhou Rong had a strong opinion of him this year, which made Wen Hui not want to have a serious relationship with him during the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Xuan remembered the agreement between the two and asked: When will you have time after the new year?

Wen Hui did not reply directly, but instead asked: Is Mi Jian's baby going to be born soon?

Zhang Xuan: Well, there are still three months.

Wen Hui: Probably in the second half of the year. I will have a performance in the Netherlands in November. You can come then.

Looking at the text message, Zhang Xuan secretly thought that she won the Liszt International Piano Competition in the Netherlands and took off in the Netherlands, and he forcibly kissed her in the Dutch piano room last time. This was her blessed place and beautiful place. land?

Thinking like this, the old man replied excitedly: OK, leave me the tickets.

Later, he sent several text messages to Wen Hui, but the latter did not reply to him. It seemed that he was very busy.

Later, he called Seagate and Dong Ziyu respectively.

These women seemed to have telepathy today and didn't answer.

Seagate didn't answer, which was as he expected. He had such a dark personality.

Dong Ziyu didn't answer, leaving him speechless. Wasn't his cell phone with him? Is he sleeping like Mi Jian?

But it's broad daylight, and it's New Year's Eve today, so how can I sleep?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xuan refused to give up and aimed his last hope at Lilith.

This time the call went through instantly.

Happy New Year, hubby, what do you want from me? Lilith asked straight to the point.

It sounded so noisy over there, Zhang Xuan asked: It's okay, I just want to hear your voice. Where are you? Why is it so noisy?

Lilith said happily: I have returned to my hometown in Qingdao, and I am currently at sea. My cousins ​​and I are out fishing. There may be no signal later.

At this moment, someone over there shouted: Lilith, come quickly and take a picture of me.

Oh, okay, come right away.

Lilith responded. Lilith turned back to Zhang Xuan and said, Hubby, I'm hanging up. Let's talk next time.

Zhang Xuan curiously asked: Why are you still going to sea during the Chinese New Year this year?

Lilith didn't reply, and there was a feeling of loneliness on the other side of the phone.

Hey, I can be considered a very rich man, and I am also a successful man with three wives and four concubines. Damn it, in the end, every one of them chatted with me for a while.

grass!

Following Chen Risheng's curse words, he spread out his pen and ink and started writing seriously, continuing to write the sixth volume of A Song of Ice and Fire.

At present, I have written 230,000 words intermittently, and I will finish it with about 200,000 words.

He plans to finish writing Volume 6 in the next two months, and then continue writing Volume 7, striving to end the series next year, giving himself, Penguin Publishing, and readers a successful ending.

Writing is like falling in love. Once you get involved, time passes very quickly and it gets dark before you know it.

If it weren't for the New Year's Eve dinner soon, the whole family wouldn't have dared to send Mi Jian in to call him.

Mi Jian gently opened the study door, walked over and asked, Are there more?

Zhang Xuan subconsciously replied: Well, I'm full of inspiration today, I guess I'll have to write some more.

Not hearing Mi Jian's words, Zhang Xuan raised his head and said, If you're hungry, just eat first, don't wait for me.

Mi Jian said with a smile: Hubby, today is the New Year.

Zhang Xuan was shocked: What did you say?

Mi Jian said: Today is the New Year.

Zhang Xuan put down his pen and stood up with a groan: The previous sentence.

Seeing Mi smile, she reached out to grab his hand and walked toward the door.

Zhang Xuan demanded: Shout something.

Mi smiled and said nothing, and led him to the dining table.

When the five elders outside saw the two coming out hand in hand, they all laughed from ear to ear and quickly asked them to sit down.

After sitting down, Mi Jian's family all looked at Ruan Xiuqin, waiting for her to use her chopsticks first.

Ruan Xiuqin was not that upright and refused to let her grandparents eat first, saying that they were the senior ones.

Next, Ruan Xiuqin went out on behalf of the old Zhang family and directly faced Liu Yi, Mi Pei and her grandparents, and it was a war of words.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xuan was speechless, picked up the chopsticks and reached for the tofu fish.

Upon seeing this, the people who were lively just now became silent instantly, and all looked at his movements.

Zhang Xuan ignored it, picked up a piece of fish, and put it into the rice bowl under the watchful eyes of the elders. Happy New Year, my wife, may you have more than you want every year.

Mi Jian smiled with a charming temperament and helped him smooth things over, Mom, grandparents, parents, we are all a family, so don't be polite. Eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold.

Saying that, Mi Jian very wisely gave each of the five elders a chopstick dish, and he was very attentive, picking up different dishes according to each person's different tastes.

The parents on both sides of the table were very satisfied with Youmi's success, and the atmosphere at the table instantly exploded.

On this New Year's Eve, apart from occasionally picking up vegetables for his grandparents, Zhang Xuan was in complete exile from his three parents and took care of Mi Jian the whole time.

This made Ruan Xiuqin feel happy and sad at the same time. The baby she had raised with care for decades was gone. Now there is only one Mi Jian in front of her. In the future, Shuang Ling, Wen Hui, Seagate, and Lilith will probably not be able to see each other more than a few times throughout the year as a mother.

Unlike Ruan Xiuqin's complicated mood, Liu Yi and Mi Pei are completely happy. The better Zhang Xuan treats his daughter and the more he dotes on her, the happier the couple will be.

There were only two men at the table. In order to entertain his father-in-law, Zhang Xuan first drank half a bottle of red wine with Mi Pei, and later drank half a cup of Maotai, and then passed out from drunkenness.

Before going to bed, he was still thinking: Shuangling is the amount of a glass of wine, and he is the amount of a glass of white wine. God is really amazing!

He slept very comfortably. When he woke up again, Mi Jian was leaning on the bedside reading a book, and he was still reading the human world.

Hearing the movement, Mi Jian looked over with a smile: Wake up, happy New Year.

Zhang Xuan hummed in confusion, but his eyes fell on her swollen belly.

Mi Jian asked: Does your head still hurt?

It's almost done.

Zhang Xuan shook his head, moved over and leaned over to listen to his stomach, and asked, Did you feel like he was kicking you in your stomach?

Mi Jian smiled and shook his head: No, maybe like me, quieter.

Zhang Xuan muttered: You have to be like me in this aspect, otherwise I will suffer a lot like you.

Mi Jian looked at him speechlessly for a while, then reminded him: Your phone has been vibrating since last night. There should be many people looking for you. Go and have a look.

Zhang Xuan looked at the bedside: Where is the phone?

Mi Jian said: I put it in the study for you to recharge.

The old man understood almost instantly why she did what she did, just to avoid suspicion.

He shamelessly sat up, yawned and said, Hey, it's not good for people to be too successful. There are too many people paying New Year's greetings.

Saying this, he put on his clothes and walked out.

Mi Jian looked at him quietly the whole time and continued reading until he disappeared.

After taking the phone, Zhang Xuan was immediately stunned by the flood of text messages and the explosion of missed calls.

It took a while to sort it out.

Seagate texted back: Oh, you are in the Cao camp and your heart is in the Han Dynasty. Be careful to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain.

Zhang Xuan typed: Happy New Year.

Seagate: Automatic reply, I am fast asleep, uncle, Happy New Year.

Zhang Xuan: Don’t call me uncle, call me old.

Seagate: Automatic reply, sorry, I call men who have wives and children collectively uncle.

Zhang Xuan: I am only 24 years old this year.

Seagate: Automatic reply, although you are only 24 years old, you have made great achievements. At a young age, you have slept with girls from all over the country. You are a winner in life. All your uncles envy you.

Zhang Xuan: Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Give me a good luck and don’t criticize me like this.

Seagate: The robot wishes you good health in the new year, make more money, write more masterpieces, and sleep with more beautiful girls.

Zhang Xuan: If you are like this, I will come over.

Seagate did not reply.

Zhang Xuan: You are the first person I contact in the New Year. Only when it has a beginning and an end can it be considered complete. Just give me a shout.

Seagate: Squeak! I haven't slept all night. My husband, please stop looking for me and go find another lady.

Zhang Xuan was lost in thought while looking at the text message. Later he turned to Tao Ge's text message and asked: Didn't you sleep all night last night?

Tao Ge: Have you contacted Seagate?

Zhang Xuan: I contacted her and she said she wanted to sleep.

A minute later, Tao Ge replied: I just went to see her. Her phone was turned off and she was sleeping.

Zhang Xuan: What did you do last night? How did you stay up all night?

Tao Ge: Drinking wine and watching a movie. In the meantime, we both sang songs to each other for an hour.

Zhang Xuan was surprised: Does she sing well?

Tao Ge: I didn’t expect her singing to be as good as those amateur singers. It’s pretty good.

Without waiting for his reply, Tao Ge sent another text message: By the way, she had a long phone call with her family last night, and then she felt a little bad.

Zhang Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and asked worriedly: Do you know what is going on?

Tao Ge: Because it’s Chinese New Year and I don’t want to spoil the fun, I didn’t ask for details, but I think you can make some guesses.

Then Tao Ge continued to send text messages: However, while we were drinking, Xijie revealed that her parents will come to Dunhuang after the year.

Zhang Xuan asked: When will it be?

Tao Ge: I estimate it will be around March to April.

Zhang Xuan thought for a while: If the plan can't keep up with the change, then I'll come over in early April. Please help me keep an eye on it and tell me in advance if anything happens.

Tao Ge: Even if you still have a conscience, I mean the same thing.

First we chatted about Seagate through text messages, and then we talked on the phone for a long time about various career situations. By the time the call ended, my phone was already extremely hot.

Although his mood was affected by Seagate, he still changed the battery and called Lao Du's family, Wen Hui and Lilith one after another.

When the call came to Dong Ziyu, she answered it immediately this time.

Once connected, she explained: I fell asleep yesterday and didn't hear the phone ring.

Zhang Xuandao: I saw the text message you sent later, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Dong Ziyu asked: Are you in your hometown? Or in the capital?

As expected, there was no fool. Zhang Xuan said truthfully: In the capital, where are you?

Dong Ziyu turned on the voiceover, Listen.

Zhang Xuan said: There were so many people, so many children shouting.

Dong Ziyu said with a smile: My parents and my sister's family have come to Shu for the New Year. Plus my brother's children, there are indeed quite a lot of children.

Just as he was listening to Dong Ziyu's words with great interest, the other party suddenly hung up the phone.

Later, Dong Ziyu replied: I suddenly have something urgent to do, so let’s not chat for now. I’ll call you later.

Zhang Xuan looked at the phone and pondered for a moment, then replied: OK.

ps: The new book has been released, please remember to collect it and read it, please!
