Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 676: Human Fireworks (Monthly Ticket Plus)
Fangyan nodded.

Just go back and take a look. It's so light, it's probably a document or a certificate or something.

As soon as I went out, I followed Secretary Shen into the car. It was not a long distance of more than one kilometer. After I left the hotel gate, I walked along East Chang'an Avenue, turned into Dongdan North Street, and immediately arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

It's around 8:30 now, and there are still many children setting off firecrackers outside the door on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

It was crackling, so lively.

The smell of burning gunpowder was in the air, and children were running around happily under the street lights.

Fang Yan said to Secretary Shen who was about to turn:

"Okay, Secretary Shen, please don't go in. There are people setting off firecrackers inside. I'll get off here and walk in by myself."

Secretary Shen thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"Okay, Doctor Fang, take care."

Fang Yan said to Secretary Shen:
"Be careful when you go back."

"Okay." The latter nodded.

He got off the bus speaking in dialect and walked towards the courtyard on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

At this time, a neighbor who was outside with his children setting off fireworks saw Fangyan and called out to him:
"Hey, isn't this Doctor Fang? Why did you come back just now?"

Fang Yan smiled and said:

"I just finished seeing a patient outside."

The other party sighed:
"Well, you doctors are really busy. You don't rest all year round. You still have to see patients outside on New Year's Eve."

Fang Yan smiled and said:

"Haha, it's nothing actually. It's not that late now."

The other party said to him:
"You should go back quickly. Your family must be waiting anxiously."

Fangyan cupped his hands and said:

"Okay, happy New Year's Eve."

The other party also folded his hands:
"Happy New Year's Eve!"

When Fangyan returned home, he heard fireworks being set off in the yard.

"Swish!" "Swish!" Colorful fireworks were sprayed from the yard into the air and exploded with a "bang". Fang Yan looked closely and found that it was Hu Daohu squatting on the ground, setting off fireworks with Zhao Zhengyi and Zhao Mingzhu.

Next to them, the eldest brother-in-law and Hu Daohu's assistant were dismantling fireworks.

There were several people standing around watching.

Fangyan's family had prepared some fireworks, but not a lot. These were obviously bought by Hu Daohu later.

"Hey, are you setting off fireworks?" Fang Yan greeted everyone after entering the main courtyard.

Seeing Fangyan coming back, everyone immediately greeted him:
"We're just waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Fang Yan asked Hu Daohu:
"How long have you been here?"

Hu Daohu looked at the time on his watch and said:

"It didn't take long, just ten minutes. We originally said that you hadn't come back yet, so we set off the fireworks first and waited while setting them off."

Fang Yan said to Hu Daohu:
"Okay, now that we're back, let's finish eating before we release it."

Hu Daohu nodded in agreement, and then the two children had finished setting off their fireworks.

Everyone entered the house.

The TV is playing in the room right now, and everyone is eating snacks like melon seeds and peanuts.

Hu Daohu's wife Huang Huijie changed into a bright red festive coat and was now discussing her feelings about pregnancy with a group of female relatives.

On another coffee table in the main hall, there were the gifts they brought, a bunch of them wrapped in gift paper, and no one knew what they were. But the gift paper was very special, and it should only be available in the Friendship Store that used foreign currency.

Seeing Fang Yan coming back, everyone stood up and greeted him.

After Fangyan responded to everyone, he invited people to start eating the New Year’s Eve dinner.

I just drank some wine and ate two bites of food just now. Now I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Usually Fangyan pays attention to health preservation and eats healthy food, but today I just drank a lot and didn't eat anything.

Soon, the family brought out the food from the kitchen.

In the capital, the New Year’s Eve dinner usually consists of “four dishes and eight bowls”, that is, four dishes of cold dishes and eight bowls of hot dishes, which may include some home-pickled vegetables, stews and other home-cooked dishes.

Families with better conditions may have fish, which means "abundance of blessings and good fortune", and may also have traditional New Year dishes such as rice noodles and meat.

Fangyan's family is relatively well off, so the meal he cooked is very rich.

The large table of food was prepared by Fangyan before he left. The aroma was definitely no worse than that of a state banquet. What was special was that Fangyan had food from all over the world on the same table. He did not just cook one cuisine, so dishes of very different styles appeared on the same table, which had never happened before in a state banquet.

The fragrance immediately attracted Hu Daohu and Huang Huijie.

They had eaten at Fangyan's home once or twice before, and they could not forget Fangyan's cooking skills.

The quality of today's dishes is so good that it's obvious that they're cooked in dialect.

After asking, it turned out to be true. In Beijing, before eating, you have to serve "New Year soup" to the elders, burn incense to worship the ancestors, and then set off a string of firecrackers in the yard before you start eating.

The younger generations of the Fang and Zhu families served the "New Year's Soup" cooked in the Fang dialect to their elders.

Then he burned incense on the ancestral tablets.

After setting off a string of firecrackers that had been prepared long ago in the yard, everyone sat at the table and started tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

Although my younger brother is not here tonight, there are three more people at home.

Hu Daohu and his wife and his assistant.

After sitting at the table, they ate while talking about the party they had just attended on the other side.

Anyway, it was just a formality, and I met a lot of leaders.

Fangyan was also very surprised when he heard the names of those leaders. He didn't expect that Hu Daohu could actually meet those people. Among them were some heavyweight bosses who later became important during the reform and opening up.

But Hu Daohu didn't know this either, he just vaguely remembered the other party's name and position.

Then he hurriedly said hello and came back with his wife.

Fangyan knew that Hu Daohu wanted to know about his experience at the Jingcheng Hotel. After all, there were local Malaysian businessmen there, so he briefly explained the situation and mentioned some of the key figures that Fangyan felt were important.

Because of Director Liao’s introduction, these people who are more famous in Malaysia were highlighted when we were drinking later.

So dialects tell us that they are more important.

Hu Daohu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

He also knew these people.

Hearing that Fangyan had examined twenty people in such a short time, everyone was impressed by his efficiency.

Basically, the speed is one patient every few minutes.

After talking about this, everyone started pouring drinks.

They began to toast each other and wish each other success in their studies and work in the coming year, and that the two pregnant women would give birth to healthy babies, and that everyone's luck would get even better.

Of course, Fangyan was the person who received the most toasts.

The main reason is that all the changes in the family now are closely related to him. Everyone knows that without him, everyone's fate would not have changed so much.

Even the second sister, who seemed to have not benefited much, knew that if it weren't for Fangyan's telegram of the prescription, she might have suffered nephritis and even sequelae.

And after coming back, the relationship between Dad and her was eased because of Fangyan.

So she also has to thank the dialect.

Later, even the pregnant Huang Huijie had to respect Fangyan no matter what she said.

In the end, I gave her a glass of water instead of wine and forced her to toast me.

Next are my eldest sister and brother-in-law.

Before they came back, they had already made plans to live a leisurely life in the city, but Fangyan's move later brought about a drastic change in their family situation, so they had to toast to Fangyan, their younger brother, no matter what.

My brother-in-law even drank three cups in a row.

In the end, even my mother-in-law had to respect Fangyan, saying that it was because of the previous influenza pandemic in the Soviet Far East. Because of Fangyan's help, she has been promoted in her unit.

I have to have a drink with Fangyan to express my gratitude.

Later, the sister-in-law also came to join in the fun, saying that she wanted to thank Fang Yan for taking such good care of her elder sister Zhu Lin, and also let her eat and drink here for free.

Fangyan didn't know what the reason was, but he had to drink the wine since it was in front of him.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law was not there, otherwise Fangyan would not be able to withstand their continuous bombardment.

After drinking, Fangyan felt a little dizzy.

In the end, it was the Queen who showed sympathy and quickly poured Fang Yan a cup of tea and asked him to drink it.

Fangyan finally recovered a little.

I was drinking rice wine at the Beijing Hotel just now, and now I am drinking white wine at home. It's like a chemical reaction.

He was drunk from time to time. Normally, he could drink quite well.

Then I waited until I had eaten a few bites of food before suppressing it.

At this time, Fangyan remembered the bag that Director Liao gave him, and he had not had time to open the box inside.

I don't know what it is installed for.

After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, he planned to go to the study to open it and see what was inside.

PS: I got 100 more monthly tickets, so after updating this chapter I still owe you 94000 words.

There will be more later in the afternoon.
