The weather forecast says there will be snow on New Year's Eve, but Wang Lin and the others woke up early in the morning and found that there were no snowflakes falling in the world.

The cold air in Siberia goes south, and the Siberian region at high latitudes is close to my country and is the only source of cold currents, so cold air always flows from north to south.

No matter how tight the north wind blows, it cannot stop the joy of the people of Shencheng.

The sparse sound of firecrackers sounded in the laughter of the children holding their ears.

The adults on the street rode their bicycles and returned with heavy New Year's goods hanging on the bicycle faucet. Every household posted a pair of red couplets and the characters "Fu" at their doorstep.

On the balcony of every household, the north window was hung with their own pickled geese, sauce meat, eels and other food, which were swaying over the alley. While wrapping glutinous rice balls, the mothers asked the children not to run too fast and be careful of falling.

On New Year's Eve, every household has to have a New Year's Eve dinner, which is the most grand meal throughout the year.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner is prepared, you must first place it on the table to respect your ancestors. This is an ancient tradition in which the old people in Shencheng respect their ancestors. You can only attend the banquet after worship.

Li Wenxiu passed on this fine tradition well.

Not to mention the important day of the Chinese New Year, Li Wenxiu would also burn incense on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month.

For people in Shencheng, dumplings and egg dumplings are all ingots, and eating egg dumplings during the Chinese New Year is considered a good success.

At Wang Lin's house, Li Wenxiu used to cook in person. In the later stages of her pregnancy, she invited Sun Xiaodie and Xu Ying, so she rarely cooked.

On the New Year, Li Wenxiu and Xu Ying got up early in the morning and were busy in the kitchen together.

Li Wenxiu learned the skills of making egg dumplings from her mother. She used a piece of boiled lard to apply a hot iron spoon. After the lard melted, poured the egg liquid into a circle, filled it with the meat filling, folded it quickly, and sealed it with the sticky egg liquid. A golden egg dumpling that looked like a golden ingot was ready.

Swallow and Li Wenjuan are responsible for taking care of the baby.

1990 was the first year that the little baby Wang Wen had come to the world.

The sound of firecrackers from time to time woke him up from his sleep. He opened his eyes wide and was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed constantly when he heard the sound of firecrackers.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Shen Xue went to Beijin to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and Wang Lin was very leisurely.

He and Zhou Jun prepared the New Year goods early, but they were so idle that they had nothing to do during the New Year. They posted couplets that morning and made an appointment to play chess together in the afternoon.

Zhou Jun is a chess fan and knows a lot about Go and Chess. Although he is a bad chess player, he always likes to play chess with Wang Lin, but Wang Lin has no time to play chess with him? He has endless work and women who can coax them!

Today he was pulled over by Zhou Jun to play chess again.

The Zhou Jun’s family was very lively. Zhou Jinsheng and Qin Guizhen, Zhou Hanmin and Qian Yuying all came here to celebrate the New Year at Zhou Jun’s family.

"Wang Lin, tonight, let's just have a meal together," Zhou Jun smiled while leaving a horse, "Take all the dishes of both families to your house, and everyone will watch the Spring Festival Gala lively!"

Of course Wang Lin agreed.

Wang Lin said: "This is a good idea. Dad, mom, what do you think?"

Zhou Hanmin was chatting with the old man, and laughed at him and said, "I have no objection. I'm afraid that Wang Lin can't sit at home, right?"

Wang Lin said: "You can sit down. My house has a big round table. Tonight we removed the coffee table and brought it over. We can still sit down after squeezing it."

Zhou Jun had eight adults in his family, and Wang Lin had five adults in his family. Two children were still young, and it was enough to have a cradle. It was still possible to sit at a large round table and thirteen people.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Then let's move things over now. Mom, let's go and cook with Wenxiu and the others. It's lively and fun."

Wang Lin and Zhou Jun also put down the chess in their hands, and each brought some ingredients and came over.

When Li Wenxiu heard this idea, she smiled and said, "I have had this idea for a long time! We are having dinner together, so lively!"

Wang Lin and Zhou Jun moved the coffee table away and moved the big round table over.

When we are together during the Chinese New Year, the most worrying thing for the elders is the marriage of the younger generation!

As the Zhou family was chatting, they talked about the marriage between Zhou Xia and Zhou Zuo.

Zhou Zhu has a shield anyway: "When my sister gets married, you will talk about me."

Zhou Xia couldn't escape and could only bite the bullet and get scolded.

Qian Yuying asked Qin Guizhen and said, "Mom, you said last time that a partner was introduced to Xiaoxia. What's the name of that man?"

Qin Guizhen smiled and said, "I'm Jin Zhiming! Oh, that young man is very good-looking, a tall man of 1.8 meters tall, a prestigious university graduate, and his family background is better than my family. He is really a match."

Zhou Hanmin pondered: "Jin Zhiming? This name sounds familiar!"

Qin Guizhen smiled and said, "It's Jin Jihai's youngest son! Jin Jihai has gone to the countryside with you. His eldest son and two daughters are married, but this youngest son has not found a partner yet. He is as anxious as my family!"

"I'll just say it! It turns out that he is the kid from the Jin Jihai family!" Zhou Hanmin smiled, "Jin Zhiming is 26 years old this year, right?"

Qin Guizhen said: "It's just right with my Xiaoxia."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why not call him over and have a kiss now?"

Zhou Xia exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, today is the New Year! Why are you dating?"

Li Wenxiu said: "Happy New Year! The Chinese New Year is the most suitable for blind dates. If you fall in love with it, the banquet will be held in the first lunar month."

Elders are happy about blind dates, and they don’t care whether the younger generation agrees.

Qian Yuying asked about Jin Zhiming's family's phone number and immediately called him. After a few words, she made an appointment with the person.

Zhou Xia bit her lip and was amused and crying: "How could anyone come so much to find a man to come for a blind date? Those who don't know think that your daughter can't get married and no one wants it!"

Qian Yuying said, "You just can't get married! Do you think you are still young? Zhou Zhu, too, you are too, you are too old! Look at Wen Xiu and Wang Lin, you are so young, your son is so old! I'll give your sister a partner, and it's your turn next!"

Zhou Zhou and Wang Lin looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, and didn't say anything.

Zhou Xia stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that something was wrong, so I'll go out."

Qian Yuying grabbed her: "What can I do during the New Year?"

"I made an appointment with a classmate to go shopping, and I forgot it!" Zhou Xia smiled, "Mom, would you please let me go? Otherwise, I will be untrustworthy."

Qian Yuying said: "I have made an appointment with someone, don't you want me to be untrustworthy, right? Where can I go shopping during the Chinese New Year? There are holidays everywhere, and everyone is spending the Chinese New Year at home!"

Zhou Xia deceived her, but she had no choice but to sit down.

Someone came to a blind date, which was the most lively and fun thing. Several women were very interested. The man had not come yet, and they kept chatting.

Wang Lin still played chess with Zhou Jun.

Both sides jumped away from their horses, attacked and bombarded the carriages, and they were indistinguishable from each other.

Wang Lin set up a cannon, secretly hid a series of horses, used the rest of his son to hold various passes, and then dispatched a large cart to rush into the Zhou army's positions.

The two old horses of Zhou army could not handle it, so Wang Lin was asked to eat one horse, another soldier, and then another elephant died in the country one after another.

Zhou Jinsheng sat beside him and watched them play chess, and smiled slightly: "Xiaojun, you lost again."

Zhou Jun scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, a gentleman who can't speak without saying anything!"

Zhou Jinsheng said: "I didn't give me some advice."

Zhou Jun said: "But you disturbed my morale. Our morale is unstable, so how can we play chess?"

Zhou Jinsheng said: "Okay, okay, I won't talk, you go!"

Zhou Jun frowned and thought about a counterattack plan. He used the pawns crossing the river to approach Wang Lin's old commander step by step, and soon formed a decisive battle situation.

Playing chess is a battle of wits.

The river boundary is three-point wide, and its wisdom is profound. Chess is like a formation, and ideas are like a dot of soldiers.

Wang Lin's general was facing the lower right corner, with the chariot guarding the front and the cannon in the middle. If he used a car to kill him directly, the generals of the Zhou army could not fight back. If he fought back, the generals of both sides and the generals would have to face each other.

Seeing this formation, Zhou Jun panicked and kept shouting: "Come on again, start again!"

Zhou Jinsheng laughed and said, "I said you had lost! Wang Lin's chess quality is good! He won steadily before killing, and he won steadily! As expected, he has the style of a general."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It's Brother Jun who gave in."

The two of them killed several more games of chess, and the sound of knocking on the door sounded.

Yanzi ran over and opened the door, and smiled and said, "A such a handsome uncle is here!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the door.

A tall man walked in. He was wearing a long blue tweed coat, his hair was combed into a middle part, his face was like a crown of jade, and his sword eyebrows were starry eyes.

"Jin Zhiming!" Qin Guizhen smiled, "Come in and sit down."

The person who came was Jin Zhiming. He responded with many gifts in his hands and walked over with a smile: "Hello grandma. Hello grandma, hello uncle, hello aunt, happy New Year everyone."

Zhou Xia said she didn't go on a blind date, but when she saw this man, she couldn't help but take a few more glances. I have to say that this first impression made her heart beat! It's not that she didn't want to get married, but she just couldn't find a suitable partner.

In the past, she had a Mao Zhihe in her heart. After the last incident, she had completely let go of that relationship. When she saw Jin Zhiming, she felt that this person was gentle, polite, generous, tall and handsome, and was impeccable in all aspects!

Wang Lin and Zhou Jun stopped playing chess, brought a chair, and asked Jin Zhiming to sit down.

Jin Zhiming thanked him, put the gift in his hand on the table, and smiled at Zhou Hanmin, "Uncle, my father has been talking about you! He has endless things to say when he recalled the days when you went to the countryside together."

Zhou Hanmin said: "Is your father okay?"

Kim Zhiming replied: "He has retired and is still in good health."

Qian Yuying asked, "Which unit do you work?"

Kim Zhiming said: "I used to work in the political research office, but now I have stopped working and stayed in the sea and opened a small company by myself."

Qian Yuying asked: "What business do you do?"

Kim Zhiming said: "I do trade."

"How is the business?"

"It's okay, you can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year." Jin Zhiming smiled, "It's a little better than going to work."

"Why are you thinking about going into the sea?"

"I read a report last year, which was about a young man in our city who went into business and became a millionaire, so I was also worried. That person seemed to be named Wang Lin, and he was called Wang Baiwan!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone in the room laughed.

Jin Zhiming didn't know what he said wrong, but caused such a big laugh, and couldn't help but feel helpless and said embarrassedly: "Where did I say wrong?"

Zhou Xia chuckled, "Look at the man beside you, who do you recognize him?"
