Chapter 261: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

On the 10th of February, the Chinese students in Genoa came to a restaurant they had chartered in the morning and began to decorate the venue.

Xiao Yingying is holding a DV and recording everyone's work.

In the shot, Ma Huanyang is riding a ladder with another boy, wrapping red latte art around the chandelier in the middle.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for helping us book this restaurant!" Xiao Yingying said while patting.

Ma Huanyang, who was standing on the ladder, waved his fist at the DV camera: "Don't call me Mr. Ma!" ”

Xiao Yingying grimaced, smiled and ran away, and went to record the others again.

Brother Glasses was carrying the bags of flour they had bought into the restaurant with the other boys, and everyone had a little flour on their bodies and faces.

"Brother glasses, you don't have a good foundation!" Xiao Yingying teased.

Brother glasses raised his hand to smear flour on Xiao Yingying's face, but she screamed and dodged it.

Feng Shiyu and a few girls wet the window grilles with water and carefully pasted them on the glass windows, and the red window grilles suddenly gave this exotic restaurant a Chinese style.

"If there is another kang, it will feel like my hometown......" Xiao Yingying said.

Feng Shiyu looked back and saw Xiao Yingying's DV lens, and made a gesture: "Hot window flowers, hot love, hot Teacher Xiao, please criticize moreβ€”β€”"

Xiao Yingying said: "Sister Feng, put on the big flower jacket and then speak!" ”

The girls giggled.

Two boys with glasses were arguing at the door, and Xiao Yingying curiously leaned in and found them arguing whether the Fu character sticker should be upright or upside down......

"Of course it should be upside down! Blessing has arrived, blessing has arrived, it is the homonym of the upside down! ”

"This blessing word is posted outside the door, how can it be pasted upside down? Have you poured out the blessings? ”

It was the third boy who joined them in the argument by pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose and saying, "I think we should tilt the sticker at a 45-degree angle." ”

"Why?" The other two boys were curious.

"Tilted at an angle of forty-five degrees, it is neither positive nor inverted, but at the same time it is in between positive and inverted. Whether the word Fu is poured depends on the observer's thoughts, and what the observer thinks is positive is positive, and what the observer thinks is inverted, that is inverted. This is SchrΓΆdinger's blessing ......"

When the two boys were dumbfounded when they heard this, Xiao Yingying, who was filming next to them, couldn't bear it: "Where are so many upright, the outside of the gate is upright, and the inside of the gate is not over!" ”

The three of them looked at Xiao Yingying together, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization: "Sister Xiao is right!" Sticking outside the door, welcoming blessings, sticking to the door upside down, blessings are home! Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Xiao Yingying expressed disdain for them and shook her head and left.

Feng Shiyu had already pasted all the window grilles, and she began to fiddle with the stereo. Once she had connected her laptop to the speaker, she opened the music folder and double-clicked on a song's file.

Soon the restaurant resounded with the well-known "Spring Festival Overture" that everyone hears on TV countless times every year during the Spring Festival.

"Wow!" Everyone who was working couldn't help but stop.

"It's so feeling!"

But soon someone muttered, "I'm a little homesick......"

His words were quickly echoed by others: "This music foul, I'm homesick too......"

The winter break at Italian universities usually takes place after the Christmas break, which is about two weeks.

Because the time is too short and the round-trip air tickets are not cheap, many international students will not choose to go home this winter vacation, and they will have to wait a whole year before they can go home again after saying goodbye to their parents in the summer.

Those freshmen who come out to study abroad in their first year are especially emotionally vulnerable at this time.

"I think my mom made bacon sausage......"

"My mother's dumplings are delicious!"

"Our family eats glutinous rice balls during the Spring Festival, have you ever eaten meat-stuffed glutinous rice balls? It's really delicious! ”

"Meat-filled dumplings? What a heresy is that! Aren't all glutinous rice balls sweet? Sesame stuffed ......"

"Mouthful! You sweet party is a heretic! ”

Young people's emotions come and go quickly, and soon everyone argues about whose hometown has delicious special food......

Homesickness has faded away from nonsensical arguments.

"Can you stand back and help me see if it's crooked?" Gao Zheng's father said with both hands holding the horizontal batch of Spring Festival couplets.

Gao Zheng's mother took two steps back, stood in front of the neighbor's door opposite and looked: "Go a little higher to the right...... Oh, yes, yes......"

After Gao Zheng's father pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the lintel in batches, he planned to go back to the house with his wife.

At this moment, several people came up downstairs, and the first one was a neighbor who lived upstairs: "Yo, where is the Spring Festival couplets posted by Lao Gao?" ”

Gao Zheng's father looked back at them, nodded and said, "Yes, are you going out?" He looked at the crowd behind his neighbors.

"I'm going down to pick up my relatives, it's my cousin's house." The upstairs neighbor introduced, and then said: "Come to my house to eat at night, there are many people eating and lively!" ”

Gao Zheng's father waved his hand: "Thank you, thank you, no need, you have a lot of family, so I won't bother you." ”

The other party did not insist on the invitation, and after greeting Gao Zheng's parents, he led his relatives upstairs.

Gao Zheng's parents packed up their things and went back to the house, and after closing the door, the chaotic footsteps outside weakened, and the home was a lot quieter.

Gao Zheng's mother went into the kitchen to serve dishes, Gao Zheng's father turned on the TV, and CCTV's Spring Festival special program "Year after Year" was playing inside, and the familiar BGM "Spring Festival Overture" floated in the room, adding a little New Year's flavor to this deserted house.

Just then, the phone rang at home.

Gao Zheng's father went to answer the phone, and when he picked it up, he heard Gao Zheng shouting over there: "Dad? ”

"Gao Zheng?" Dad was a little surprised, glanced into the kitchen, and then turned it on hands-free, "Why did you call, why didn't you say it on WeChat?" Wasted phone bills......"

"Dad, do I care about the value of that phone bill now?" Gao Zheng said. "Isn't this Chinese New Year's Eve, thinking that you should be having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I called you." After the call, I had to get ready to go to the game. ”

"Oh, that's right. I'm fine with your mother, don't worry about it, concentrate on the game. Let me tell you, the sports channel has put out all the advertisements, saying that you are a Chinese New Year's Eve meal for the fans across the country, and you can't let the fans of the whole country lose their appetite......"

"Ahem, Dad, I took a special shower after I got up today, used a lot of shower gel, and now I still have a fragrant smell on my body, do you think fans across the country will like to eat it?"

"What words! Eat you? ”

"Didn't you say I was the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for fans across the country?"

"I mean game, game!"

Gao Zheng laughed on the other end of the phone: "You don't have to worry about the game, Dad, it's useless if you worry about it, right?" ”

"How did you talk to your dad?" Gao Zheng's mother suddenly came up. "We're ready to eat, wash our hands and go."

She said this to her husband.

Gao Zheng's father obediently washed his hands, and Gao Zheng chatted with his mother on the phone.

"Mom, what did you cook again?"

"What else can there be, it's all those things that are eaten during the Spring Festival. Steamed a piece of osmanthus and steamed it with tempeh. And a big elbow, oh, I also fried some hairtail, just out of the pot and still sizzling...... Sausage bacon, duck roast chicken in sauce, this year we also made preserved pork ribs, the fat kind, after steaming, the bowl is full of oil...... Braised chicken wings and chicken thighs, fresh meat and green onion dumplings wrapped by themselves......"

Gao Zheng swallowed his saliva on the other side of the phone: "Mom, don't say it, I smell it......"

"Okay, let's not talk about it. We're going to eat, so you can concentrate on the game. ”

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

The husband who came back from washing his hands was anxious when he saw this: "Eh, why did you hang up?" I'm not done yet, am I? ”

"What are you talking about, if you keep talking, aren't you afraid that your son's mind will be messed up and he won't play well in the game?"

The husband was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "You're right...... Don't affect him, when the time comes, let the fans across the country have a bad year, and we will be sinners......"

Then he looked at the meal on the table that was far from sumptuous, and asked his wife, "But what about the big elbows, fried hairtail, roasted chicken with sauced duck and cured pork ribs?" ”

His wife glared at him: "Pay attention to health when you are old, and be careful of fatty liver and high blood lipids when eating such fatty things!" ”

The husband threw himself and muttered, "It's good that the fish still have ...... There are fish every year, and there is more than ...... every year"

He poured wine into his and his wife's glasses, then raised them and said, "Come on, wife, have a good New Year." It's the two of us this year, and we're almost getting used to it, hehe......"

The wife didn't speak, but took a glass of wine and drank it down.

β€»β€»β€»

Gao Zheng put down the phone, he didn't call back again to ask why his mother hung up so simply.

During the call with his parents, he heard music in the house, which was a familiar piece of music. They are supposed to watch TV while eating.

In fact, he called back this phone call and should have paid New Year's greetings.

In previous years, when others did not go back, they would also make a phone call to greet and greet the New Year.

But this year, he didn't take the initiative to mention it because he wanted to surprise his parents......

So now I can only grieve my parents.

How could he not hear the loneliness and loss in his parents' tone?

Otherwise, why would he want to gag, isn't he afraid of making his parents sad during the New Year?

The neighbors are full of people, and the family is reunited, and the two of them will inevitably touch the scene.

Since this game is going to be broadcast live on CCTV, and the advertisement has been played very early. I don't know how many fans will watch this game when the time comes...... The Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more boring, maybe there are really a lot of people watching this game.

At that time, I will pay their New Year's greetings in front of fans across the country, accompanied by so many fans across the country, so that their Chinese New Year's Eve will not be so lonely.
