Chapter 52 Celebrating New Year 4

晚饭纪之贻准备的是烤全羊和羊肉汤锅。烤全羊是陆元和韩武两个人在负责,这个任务是陆离安排的,别墅里的壁炉是开放式的,可以支上烤架,两人一个撒作料一个翻支架,配合地很熟练,可见他俩不止一次做过烤全羊。
The smell of lamb wafted through the villa as everyone gradually gathered in the living room around six o'clock. In the living room, Luo Teng sat by the fireplace holding a baby, watching as Lu Yuanhan and Wu Han busied themselves, while Zhou Yuzhi and Su Liangzhou put the red paper they had cut in the morning onto the window glass. Little Nannan stood there like a little adult, directing everyone, while Lu Li and Shen Wenhuan stood in the courtyard talking.
方珊和纪之贻在厨房里忙碌,南风像是打了鸡血似的,在纪之贻身后跟前跟后,帮忙端锅,洗菜。纪之贻看着南风,忍不住笑道:“南风,你现在的样子,你知道你像谁吗?”
南风笑嘻嘻地问:“像谁呀?”
纪之贻看了方珊一眼,方珊露出一个温柔的笑容,纪之贻也跟着笑,没有说话。
南风反应过来,道:“纪姐姐,你不厚道,我给你帮忙,你说我像小孩子。”
Ji Zhiyi chuckled and said, "I thought you were already dazzled by An Ningmei."
South Wind's face blushed a bit, and she hesitantly said, "Ji Sister, did you notice?"
Ji Zhiyi smiled and said, "I think everyone with eyes can see it, right."
Nan Feng exclaimed and scratched the back of his head, "Uh, uh, uh", but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.
Ji Zhiyi scooped the cooked lamb and offal out of the pressure cooker into a plate, while saying earnestly: "Nan Feng, An Ning regards me as her sister, so there's something I need to tell you. If you're only interested in her looks, then I advise you to give up."
Ji Zhiyi turned around and looked at the eagerly-speaking Nan Feng, continuing to say: "Don't be in a hurry, let me finish. An Ning is very beautiful, and you also know her situation. I'm not saying anything ugly, but currently, it seems that the barrier between you two is not me. Perhaps, it’s possible that she’ll be a zombie for the rest of her life, do you understand?"
Sure, here's the translation while retaining the original HTML tags:```htmlSouthern Wind fell silent for a moment, speaking softly: "Sister Ji, isn't the first impression between people just based on appearance? Although Zhang Ning's situation is special, she can also think independently. As for suitability, I think this question needs time to answer."```
纪之贻顿了顿,惊异地看着南风道:“南风,看不出来啊,小小年纪思想还挺成熟的。你说得有道理,我也不想再说一些打击你的话,但是你得答应我一件事。”
南风点点头,看着纪之贻:“愿闻其详。”
“无论以后你和阿宁能走到哪一步,都不要把阿宁的事告诉别人。”纪之贻紧紧盯着南风。
Nan Feng nodded solemnly and said, "You can trust me."
During dinner, Lu Li raised his glass and said, "Today is the last day of the year. Everyone has worked hard this year. Tonight, you can relax a bit, but don't forget to wake up early for training tomorrow."
As South Wind's originally upturned mouth twitched at the last sentence, he looked at Han Wu and muttered under his breath, "We still have to train on New Year's Day?"
Han Wu grinned and said, "If you dare, say it louder."
Ji Zhiyi smiled, turned his head and whispered to Fang Shan, "Mom, don't you think this scene is familiar?"
Fang Shan looked at Ji Zhiyi with a frown and didn't say anything.
吃完晚饭,纪之贻和周玉收拾完碗筷,大家都坐在壁炉旁边。
纪之贻从空间里拿出一个黑色的背包,从里面拿出一个手掌大小的盒子递给骆腾道:“给小宝宝的。”
Luo Teng's face showed a hint of surprise, he freed up one hand to take the box and looked at Ji Zhiyi with doubt.
Ji Zhiyi smiled lightly: "Traditionally, during the Chinese New Year, red envelopes will be prepared for children. Nowadays, money is no longer as valuable, so this is a small music box that you can wind up, and your baby can occasionally listen to music."
Luoteng's face showed gratitude and a hint of guilt as he whispered, "Miss Ji, thank you on behalf of my baby. I have named her Si Jie."
Ji Zhiyi smiled and said, "Si Jie, that's a beautiful name."
"Mom," Nannan tugged on Ji Zhiyi's sleeve, hugging her arm and looking at Ji Zhiyi expectantly, "What about mine?"
Ji Zhiyi patted Nannan's head and said, "Of course you have one, all kids do." After speaking, she took out a red dinosaur toy from the bag and handed it to Nannan, saying, "This is the New Year's gift that Mommy gave to Nannan."
Nannan hugged her dinosaur and nodded, saying with a smile: "George's dinosaur is green, and mine is red."
Fang Shan sat beside her and asked, "What should Nannan say when she receives a gift?"
    Nannan hugged the dinosaur and looked at Ji Zhiyi: "Thank you, Mom."
    Ji Zhiyi smiled and kissed Nannan's cheek, saying, "No need to thank me."
    Ji Zhiyi's gaze roamed around the living room and finally settled on Su Liangzhou, who was hiding behind Zhou Yu and only showed his head to look at Nannan with envy and anticipation. Ji Zhiyi suddenly felt a hint of heartache and said, "Xiao Su, come over here."

Zhou Yuxiao pushed a reluctant Su Liangzhou over with a smile and said, "Didn't Sister Ji just say that even kids have it?"
Su Liangzhou looked back at Zhou Yuxiao and pouted, "I'm not a kid."
纪之贻微笑着把背包整个递给苏凉州,道:“希望你可以正确地使用它,有点重,拿得动吗?”
苏凉州接过背包,掂了掂,轻描淡写道:“一点都不重。”他打开背包看了一眼,又看向纪之贻,别别扭扭地说:“谢谢。”
纪之贻忍不住伸手揉了揉他的头,一字一顿道:“不、用、谢。”苏凉州感受着纪之贻的手温柔地揉了揉自己的头,瘪了瘪嘴,又努力忍住,低着头走到沙发一边。楠楠看到苏凉州提着包走到一边,也抱着恐龙跟过去,一边走一边道:“小苏哥哥,给我看看你的礼物好不好?”
Two children sit on the sofa, with the younger one constantly asking and eyeing a black bag eagerly, while the older one shakes their head and clutches their own bag tightly.
Ji Zhiyi turned to look at Fang Shan, who was smiling lovingly at Nan Nan and Su Liangzhou with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and a strand of hair fell on her ear, revealing a few silver strands. At this moment, Ji Zhiyi suddenly felt heartbroken; another year had passed, and his mother had aged another year. How long could such a warm moment last?
Fang Shan felt the focused gaze of Ji Zhiyi and looked at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes. Ji Zhiyi lowered his head and sighed softly before saying, "Mom, let me fix your hair."
方珊一愣,然后露出一个笑容,点点头道:“好。”
