.Chapter 178 New Year’s Eve Dinner

In fact, Lao Meng punched Li Sansheng twice because when Huahua died, Li Sansheng promised him that no one of them would have any trouble in this life. But now? Erlong was lying on the hospital bed and was unconscious. What is the difference between a vegetable and a dead person? He was so breathless. He couldn't accept this result. Li Sansheng's promise back then was not fulfilled, so he had to find a vent for a moment when he was suppressed.

During the winter vacation in previous years, Lao Meng would come back early to meet with a group of people, but during this year's winter vacation, he had to study with an old man who once held the power of the Republic, so it was almost the New Year when he came back. When he was in Beijing, Lao Meng had a bad feeling because he had not contacted Li Sansheng for a long time. At the beginning, he sent Li Sansheng to text messages but did not reply. Later, he called and turned off. The messages and messages sent on QQ were not responded. This made Lao Meng feel strange, because he usually sent Li Sansheng to Li Sansheng, Li Sansheng would basically reply. When he saw QQ messages or something, Li Sansheng would also look for him as soon as possible after he went online, but this time, Lao Meng, who felt something was wrong, immediately called Erlong. What's even more nonsense is that Erlong's phone was also turned off. After calling for three or four days, it still did not turn off. Lao Meng realized that something was wrong. He was going to be in Beijing.

He would not come back until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, but the old man saw his absent-minded look and asked him to come back a few days earlier. After getting off the plane in Xi'an, Lao Meng quickly contacted Aunt Zhao. When he was at Xi'an Jiaotong University High School, he often followed Li Sansheng to Aunt Zhao's club. Although he was not as familiar with Aunt Zhao, he was still familiar with him. When Aunt Zhao told Lao Meng all the things that happened in so many days, Lao Meng was stunned. Xue Fan died and Erlong became a vegetable. How could he accept this result? Thinking of Huahua's death, the three of them hugged their heads and cried and said that no one could leave anyone in this life. Li Sansheng even promised him that he would never let anyone go again in this life. But this promise is like a fart now. The angry Lao Meng went back to Weibei early the next morning. He wanted to find Li Sansheng and ask what was going on.

As soon as he arrived at the old house of Li's family, he saw Li Sansheng running back with a child he didn't know. Lao Meng saw that Li Sansheng still had such leisure and elegance. Wasn't he chased him like a dog by someone in Guanzhong Road? He was so angry that he had two punches, but he just vented his anger. He knew that even if he beat Li Sansheng to death, Xue Ban would not be able to survive and Erlong would not be able to wake up.

"Get up." Li Sansheng looked at Lao Meng who was crying like a woman and said lightly. For a moment, he seemed to know what he wanted, climbed to the highest position possible, and protected everyone he wanted to protect.

The little Situ, who was standing next to Li Sansheng, wanted to deal with the person he didn't know who dared to hit the third brother, the moment when Lao Meng took action, but Li Sansheng looked at him and Li Situ was obedient. Erxi was lying around Lao Meng without knowing the so-called headlessness.

"I'm sorry" Lao Meng stood up slowly. He just couldn't accept it for a while and vented it. After calming down, he naturally knew that some things were not something that Li Sansheng could control.

"Brother, don't talk about this," Li Sansheng shook his head and said, "The brother who is dead, let alone this one."

Lao Meng is very beautiful, yes, she is very beautiful, not very cool and handsome. Her face, skin and eyes make women envious, jealous and hateful.

Lao Meng wiped his tears, Li Sansheng said with a wry smile, "Get in"

Lao Meng followed Li Sansheng to enter the old house of Li family. He raised his eyes and suddenly saw the elegy couplet in black and white on the door of the mansion. He was stunned. He turned his head in a daze and looked at Li Sansheng and said, "Third Brother, this... this?"

Li Sansheng thought Lao Meng had already known it, but now it seems that Lao Meng didn't know that grandpa had left, and he was a little disappointed, but he tried to keep his tone in a faint tone and said, "Well, grandpa is gone."

In an instant, Lao Meng regretted his impulse just now. He was sad and he couldn't accept it. But there was a man who was more painful than him. He just buried all these in his heart and silently endured them alone.

"Third Brother..." Lao Meng wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

Li Sansheng waved his hand and said lightly, "Grandpa is dead, he has lived to be 90 years old, and he is content."

Before returning to Weibei, Li Sansheng thought his grandfather died of illness because he knew his grandfather was not in good health and occasionally felt a cold. However, after returning, Uncle Long told him that his grandfather quietly wore the purple Tang cotton coat that he would only wear during the Chinese New Year. He lay on the bed and arranged all his funerals and left peacefully. There was no pain, only a little regret, he agreed to him and wanted to hold the child for him, but he could not fulfill it...

"If you don't talk about this, drink." Li Sansheng shook his head and said mockingly. The better the living people live, the more peace of mind the people who go there will be.

Lao Meng and Li Sansheng each brought a bench and sat under the old locust tree drinking Du Kang's wine. Little Situ obediently cooked in the kitchen, and now he has become Li Sansheng's nanny. Every morning when he bargained with the vegetable seller at the entrance of the village, Li Sansheng always felt that this was strange.

"San brother, what are your plans in the future?" Lao Meng still couldn't calm down. He didn't expect that so many things would happen this winter and would still be unable to recover for a while, but he knew that the third brother was more miserable than him.

"When grandpa's 100th day is over, go to the Northeast Uncle Long's place." Li Sansheng poured the two of them full of wine, and drank it thoughtfully, what kind of world is the Northeast, what is the big hero in the sky, and how fierce the tiger man who can be on the blacklist.

"Northeast? Uncle Long is in the Northeast?" Lao Meng and Li Sansheng clinked and asked with a frown. He still knew the existence of Uncle Long, but he had met several times when he was a child, and he was not as familiar as Erlong.

"Yes," Li Sansheng nodded faintly.

"Well, a dog-good guy, the poorest one is just begging for food. If you don't die, you will always stand out. One day we will fight back to Xi'an," Lao Meng said viciously.

On that day, Li Sansheng and Lao Meng drank until twelve o'clock noon. After the Little Situ rice was prepared, Lao Meng ate some food, followed Li Sansheng and Situ to the public grave to worship grandpa before returning home. When he left, he turned to Li Sansheng and shouted, "Third brother, we all have to live well."

Li Sansheng nodded heavily and said to himself, "Well, you're alive."

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer. On the 28th day of the New Year, the villagers in the village began to set up oil pans, pack up New Year's goods, and steam buns. Every day, the village is filled with the sound of children playing with cannons, and the New Year's atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. The countryside still maintains the most primitive New Year's atmosphere, which is naturally more interesting than that in big cities.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, the village chief Geng Bo and many villagers brought Li Sansheng a lot of packed New Year's goods, meat, fried mozzarella and other various New Year's goods. The villagers all knew that the Li family, the two children who had been guarding for their grandfather for a hundred days, were alone in the Li family's old house. Li Sansheng knew that these were the wishes of the villagers, and without pretentious advice, they accepted them, and cleaned the Li family's old house even cleaned them.

On New Year's Eve, it was the last gathering in the town a year, and it was also the most lively. When Li Sansheng and Erlong were young, they liked this day the most. Because there were all kinds of delicious food on the streets, Li Sansheng took Xiao Situ to the market in the morning. Xiao Situ still couldn't put it down and held Erxi. Erxi was getting stronger and stronger. Li Situ was like a local bun that I had never seen before. He wanted to buy this and that, and to eat this and that. Finally, Li Sansheng bought some dishes for the New Year, and bought some firecrackers, melon seeds, candy and fruits for the New Year, and the most important incense paper. After twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Li Sansheng and Li Situ returned to the old house of Li's family, placed the Kitchen God of Wealth and other spiritual seats, lit incense and put fruit tributes, and kowtowed respectfully.

After doing this, Li Sansheng and Xiao Situ took Erxi, Du Kang's old wine, incense paper and some firecrackers to the Gongmeng south of the village. After arriving at the Gongmeng, they lit incense for Erlong's grandfather, parents and the blind man not far away, burned paper, and finally lit incense for the grave of the somewhat remote grandfather, sprinkled the bottle of Du Kang's old wine on several graves, and finally left a sip for himself, drank it in one sip, picked up the Erhu and pulled a song "Song of the Sickness". The little Situ on the side lit the firecrackers in a little fear, thinking about it in a random way. After the song, Li Sansheng yelled, "It's time to go home for the New Year." After the roar, he pulled Li Situ who was playing with Erxi back...

This sound, smelling sadness and listening to tears, was so sad...

After returning to the old house of Li, there was a strong New Year atmosphere floating in the village. The children had already put on new clothes and were playing. They pasted a pair of white couplets sent by the village chief Geng on the door of the mansion. Li Sansheng and Xiao Situ began to clean up the New Year's Eve dinner. Xiao Situ's skills were really unspeakable. Li Sansheng could never associate a little charlatan who read the scriptures with the little chef in front of him.

After the New Year's Eve dinner was prepared, Xiao Situ was extremely happy. The two of them placed the New Year's Eve dinner on the table in the hall, emptying their grandfather's position and Erlong's position. Li Sansheng drank a sip of wine at his grandfather's mourning hall and said lightly, "Grandpa, it's the New Year."

This New Year's Eve dinner was eaten until twelve o'clock in the evening. When Xiao Situ lit the New Year's firecrackers outside, the whole village also started to crackle...

This year is really over...

Li Sansheng had the only New Year’s Eve dinner without grandpa and Erlong, and would celebrate the first New Year without grandpa...
