"It's the New Year, it's the New Year!" Xiao Ming shouted excitedly and ran into the living room. He hugged his cousin, who was sitting on the sofa, with an innocent smile on his face.
"yes, we can finally be together as a family this year. The cousin said softly and rubbed Xiao Ming's hair.
"Xiao Ming, don't make trouble, go and help your grandma clean up. Mom poked her head out of the kitchen, her tone stern, but her eyes full of pampering.
"Okay, grandma, I'm here!" Xiao Ming answered and ran to the kitchen with a bounce.
My cousin looked at the scene in full swing in the room, and his heart was filled with joy. Chinese New Year's Eve, this is his favorite day, because the whole family will get together and have fun. Although they are usually busy with their own work, the annual reunion moment allows them to regain the warmth of family affection. He remembered that when he was a child, his grandparents would always tell them mythological stories, while he and his cousin would sit on the sidelines and listen intently. Now, they have all grown up, but this innocent family affection still exists.
The cousin looked around the room, his eyes lingering on his loved ones. Dad was helping Mom wipe the dishes and chopsticks, and the movements of the two were full of tacit understanding, as if they were dancing a silent dance. Grandpa and grandma sat on the kang, looking at them with kind eyes, and a happy smile on the corner of their mouths. Cousin took a deep breath, this is the taste of home.
"Okay, have you packed up?" Dad clapped his hands and looked around the room.
"It's all set. Mom nodded, wiping the fine sweat from her forehead.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Dad hurriedly went to open the door, only to see his uncle's family standing at the door, all with a festive look on their faces.
"Brother, you're here!" Dad happily said, "Come in, come in!"
"Yo, isn't this my little nephew?" As soon as my uncle entered the door, he teased my cousin, "Why, have you grown so tall?"
"Uncle, don't make fun of me. My cousin smiled, a little embarrassed.
Looking at the happy scene of relatives, my cousin's heart was full of warmth. The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the day of their family reunion, although everyone is usually busy with work, but the annual reunion moment allows them to regain the warmth of family affection. He remembered that when he was a child, his uncle would bring them good food and fun every time he came, and he and his cousin would follow his uncle and chase him around like two little tails. Now, they have all grown up, but the innocent family affection still exists, but with a more mature understanding.
After my uncle's family entered the door, the house was suddenly bustling. The aunt took her cousin's two cousins into the kitchen and said something to her mother with a grin. The uncle sat down next to his grandfather, and the two were chatting and laughing. Xiao Ming was running around in a hurry, as if the room was filled with endless energy. The cousin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw all this. This is the warm scene of the home he longs for.
At that moment, Mom poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Okay, everybody, let's start playing cards!"
As soon as he heard this, everyone cheered, and even Xiao Ming jumped to his feet and shouted: "Great, we're going to play mahjong!"
Everyone moved the table to the center of the living room, where the grandparents sat and the young people accompanied them. Mom took out the mahjong tiles, shuffled the cards, sorted the cards, and did it in one go. Looking at her skillful movements, my cousin couldn't help but think of the scene when she was a child, when the family sat together and played cards.
"Come, let's make a rule first. Dad cleared his throat and looked around at everyone present, "Let's be a family wine today, everyone has a good time, how about whoever loses and who has a treat?"
"Okay, okay, that's it!" Uncle waved his hand and readily agreed.
"Wait, I'm not going to say yes!" Mom frowned, "If we lose, we'll have to pay for a treat." Why don't you do this, whoever loses will put on a show for everyone, how about it?"
"Haha, yes! Grandpa laughed, clearly interested in the idea.
As soon as the words fell, my mother began to shuffle the cards. Her movements are skilful and skillful, apparently due to the countless times she has played cards. The grandparents were on the side to teach the young people how to play cards and how to remember them. Both the cousin and Xiao Ming listened intently, for fear of missing any detail.
As soon as the cards were dealt, everyone began to concentrate on playing the cards. At first, everyone was cautious for fear of taking the wrong step. But gradually, the atmosphere became relaxed, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time on the table. Uncle and Dad joked with each other, and the two of them were like returning to their childhood, carefree. And my mother told everyone from time to time that there should be no disputes. This happy scene made my cousin feel unprecedented warmth and happiness.
"Haha, uncle, you're going crazy!" Dad watched his uncle win several games in a row and couldn't help but quip.
"Needless to say, I'm an old man. The uncle said triumphantly and glanced at his mother, "How about it, do you want to surrender and admit defeat?"
"Hmph, how many of you men got carried away, right?" Mom snorted disapprerovingly, "We'll know who the real master is later." "
"That's it, grandma, I'm going to win!" Xiao Ming was eager to try, obviously he couldn't wait to join the warband.
"Take your time, little friend. Grandpa said gently, "Playing cards is not such a simple thing, you need to be calm and calm......"
Watching the family come and go, my cousin was extremely happy. That's the fun of the New Year, where everyone is happy and unrestrained. He is glad that he was able to experience all this firsthand and feel the warmth of home. As the only child in the family, he was doted on by his parents since he was a child, but at the same time he often felt lonely. And moments like this have allowed him to find a sense of belonging. The family unreservedly showed the joys, sorrows and sorrows in their hearts, which made him deeply appreciate the preciousness of family affection. He made up his mind that in the future, he must run his family well and let it exude the same warmth.
As the minutes ticked by, the game became more and more intense. Although Mom fell behind at the beginning, she quickly made a comeback and won bursts of applause repeatedly. Dad and uncle are also-for-tat, and neither of them wants to lose. Even the grandparents, who are usually taciturn, are focused at the moment, and let out a few exclamations from time to time.
Around the table, the children also looked curious. Although Xiao Ming is still young, his eyes reveal a look of curiosity. Sometimes he asked his mother for advice, and sometimes he asked his grandfather, for fear that he would miss something wonderful. The cousin's two cousins never took their eyes off the game, as if they were secretly recording every detail. Looking at this hot scene, my cousin felt extremely happy. This is the family life he longs for, happy and carefree.
The game was played in the middle of the night, but the atmosphere in the room was still in full swing. Everyone's expressions became more and more focused, as if they were vowing to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. Dad and Uncle come and go,-for-tat, and no one wants to lose. Although my mother fell behind at first, she quickly made a comeback and won frequent applause. Even the grandparents, who are usually taciturn, are focused at the moment and exclaim from time to time.
"Oops, lost, lost!" After a game, Mom sighed helplessly and threw the cards in her hand on the table.
"Haha, mother-in-law, please put on a show!" Uncle said triumphantly.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a performance of Peking Opera. Mom rolled up her sleeves and made a look of good spirits.
Next, my mother really performed a wonderful Peking Opera, which won bursts of applause from everyone present. Dad applauded, and Uncle praised him repeatedly. Even the grandparents, who are usually taciturn, are smiling at the moment. Looking at this lively scene, my cousin was extremely relieved. This is the family life he longs for, warm and harmonious, and happy.
Looking back on the past years, my cousin was often tired of running around for his career and neglected contact with his family. But today, he finally realized the warmth and meaning of home. Family affection is not taken for granted, but needs to be cherished and maintained with action. He secretly decided that no matter how busy he would be in the future, he must find time to spend time with his family and let this warmth last forever. Only in this way will their homeland always be filled with joy and happiness.
"Brother, you kid is really good, you haven't lost for so long!" At this moment, the uncle suddenly said loudly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.
"Whereever, I'm just lucky. Dad smiled humbly, and then looked at Mom again, "Wife, you have to work harder, you can't just be won by us!"
"Wait and see!" Mom's eyes lit up, obviously agitated, "I'm going to take this card back to the field!"
Everyone was amused by this little episode and burst into laughter. Even Xiao Ming, who is usually honest, is covering his mouth with his hands and giggling at the moment. Looking at this warm scene, my cousin's heart was filled with warmth. This is what his favorite home looks like, and his relatives are happy and have no worries. He only hopes that this warmth will last forever.
The game had been going on for most of the night, but the atmosphere in the room was still in full swing. Looking at the family's focused expressions, my cousin was extremely relieved. He knows that this kind of atmosphere is not created overnight, but from everyone's cherishing and caring for each other.
It is precisely because of this deep affection that they can let off their guard and enjoy the moment to the fullest. Under this roof, there are no outsiders, only the closest family members. They don't need to disguise themselves, they don't have to hold back anything, they just want to release their inner joys, sorrows, and sorrows. That's what home is all about, a haven where you can really relax yourself.
Looking at the kind and amiable appearance of my parents and grandparents, my cousin only felt a warmth in my heart. Yes, this is his most cherished relative, and they show the most sincere love for each other with their actions. He made up his mind that he must run his family well in the future, so that it also exudes this warm atmosphere.
