On the morning of New Year's Eve, Gu Yuan first took Gu Chuxue and Gu Xiaolei to carefully clean the house inside and outside. The second aunt also put everything neatly in preparation for welcoming guests.
Knowing that there would be more people celebrating the New Year this year, my second uncle went to borrow two large round tables and quickly filled up the living room, which was not large in the first place.
At noon, Gu Yuan and Gu Xiaolei posted the couplets together.
Here in Xingcheng, New Year's Eve dinner usually starts in the afternoon, but at noon, Kong Baihe brought Xing Ruyu and came with Wei Xuanyi.
In the kitchen, the second aunt and Xia's mother were busy, while the second uncle and Xia's father were sitting on the balcony, smoking and chatting. When they saw Kong Baihe and the others coming, they quickly got up to greet the guests.
Taking advantage of this moment, the second uncle called Gu Yuan to him.
"Hurry up and pick up Mr. Zhong. Are you still waiting for him to come by himself?"
After being reminded by his second uncle, Gu Yuan reached out and patted his head. Then he suddenly came to his senses and quickly drove to the martial arts academy.
When we arrived at the martial arts academy, we ran all the way to the bamboo forest. When we saw Zhong Wuchen, Lao Zhong seemed a little reluctant.
"It's really troublesome... Shouldn't I say it? I'm fine by myself. I'm happy and free." Zhong Wuchen was holding the tea cup in his hand and was pulled out by Gu Yuan, still muttering in his mouth.
After the two left, Ji Qingyu walked out from the other side with Guan Pingyue.
"Mr. Zhong is really a bit hypocritical." Guan Pingyue said, "Just for a while, I saw him walking back and forth from the house to the courtyard door more than a dozen times, stretching his neck to look at something. Gu Yuan came and said he didn’t want to go..."
"You need to understand the arrogance of a middle-aged man properly." Ji Qingyu saw it very clearly.
Zhong Wuchen's identity is here, and he is now at the Star City Martial Arts Academy. No matter what, Ji Qingyu can't really let him spend the New Year alone in the bamboo forest. If word spreads that he, the dean of the Star City Martial Arts Academy, will have his back poked?
She had already made preparations, but if it didn't work, she would ask a group of teachers and directors from the martial arts academy to come over and hold an annual meeting on New Year's Eve. Anyway, Zhong Wuchen couldn't let Zhong Wuchen spend the New Year with a cold pot and a cold stove.
Now it seems that this is not necessary.
"Dean Guan, it's still early now, you can go back." Ji Qingyu turned to look at Guan Pingyue and said with a smile.
"Well, then I'll leave first." Guan Pingyue cupped his hands towards Ji Qingyu and said with a smile, "Dean, have a great New Year. See you next year."
Ji Qingyu smiled and nodded.
…
Even when he was sitting in the car, Zhong Wuchen was still muttering about what trouble he was talking about, but he didn't know if it was his own imagination. He always felt that he saw it on his husband's face. Some expectations.
Zhong Wuchen's arrival was naturally warmly welcomed by his uncle and aunt, so the duo smoking and drinking tea on the balcony became a threesome.
Kong Baihe pulled Gu Yuan aside and gave him a thumbs up.
"Looking at the whole of Daxia, no one can call Mr. Zhong home to celebrate the New Year with more than one hand!" Kong Baihe said happily.
If Kong Baihe could invite Zhong Wuchen to the Kong family to celebrate the New Year in the capital, it is no exaggeration to say that after New Year's Eve, the threshold of the Kong family would have been crossed.
It is worth mentioning that Kong Baihe and Wei Xuanyi are also very good at getting things done. They came to the Gu family with both hands empty. Not only did they prepare gifts for their second uncle and second aunt, but they also made arrangements for Gu Chuxue and Gu Xiaolei.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two large round tables were already piled with dishes, one for adults and one for children. People like Gu Yuan, Kong Baihe and others belonged to the "children's table".
Originally, this was the first time that Xia Youzhi was away from home during the Chinese New Year, and Xia Youzhi's parents felt a little uncomfortable. Now that there are so many people in the Gu family, they are lively and happy, and their moods have improved.
When Gu Yuan and others had finished eating and drinking, the second uncle also took Xia's father Zhong Wuchen to drink. Originally, the second uncle treated Zhong Wuchen like Mr. Zhong. Although he didn't know much about Zhong Wuchen, he also knew that Mr. Gu Yuan is a great person, so he deserves the respect he deserves.
But after drinking this meal, the previous politeness completely disappeared, and the old bell sounded particularly familiar.
Gu Yuan didn't bother them and took Kong Baihe and the others out for a walk. Because it was New Year's Eve and it was still dinner time, there weren't many people on the street. Wei Xuanyi didn't know if it was because of his childlike innocence that he took Gu Chuxue and the others bought a lot of firecrackers.
Xing Ruyu pinched a snowball, stuck a firecracker on it, lit it, and immediately threw it out. The snowball exploded in the air, and ice particles splashed everywhere. It was a great time.
Kong Baihe also became interested and wanted to join in the fun, but he obviously didn't calculate the time well. When he threw it out, it was already too late. The snowball exploded in his hand, causing Xing Ruyu and others to laugh. .
Gu Yuan looked at them with a smile on his face. He didn't know how long this time would last, nor what it would be like this time next year.
He turned his face and looked towards the north. His eyes seemed to penetrate thousands of miles and saw the wind and snow in the northern border.
The weather in Star City is good, but standing at the top of the city in Northern Xinjiang, you can still see snow falling all over the sky.
Wu Ning was leaning against the city wall, still holding the white horse spear in his hand. Beside him, lay one demon-slaying soldier after another with tired faces.
Calculating it carefully, they had not slept for two days and two nights.
"Those monsters in the demon clan deserve to die. People don't have time to relax during the Chinese New Year." The middle-aged man lying next to Wu Ning cursed. The wind and snow blew for a long time, which made his face a little dry.
Although there was no mirror in front of Wu Ning, he knew that his appearance at the moment was not much different from his.
"It's just the Chinese New Year, and the demon clan is attacking the city." Another man wrapped his clothes tightly and said with a smile, "I really hope that this demon mountain can be leveled early. By then, we can also watch TV at home and enjoy the New Year." It’s dinner.”
As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at the dark sky, and muttered: "I don't know if this year's Spring Festival Gala will be good or not."
"What's the point of that? The song and dance shows are all about celebrities we don't know. It's just a sketch...create misunderstandings, solve misunderstandings, say a few popular Internet memes, and finally make dumplings and smash them together..." The man next to Wu Ning grinned. said.
Wu Ning raised his head and looked towards the city wall. On top of the city tower, the man in a white gown had been standing for half an hour, and a layer of white snow had already piled up on his body.
Since this man came to Northern Xinjiang, the demon-slaying army seems to have found its backbone again. Not only has it easily intercepted several sieges by the demon clan, it has even killed several A-level Yuan demons. It can be said that it has been swept away. previous decline.
"Except for the three layers of snow on your body, who in the world is worthy of white clothes..." Wu Ning moved his lips, read with a smile, and fell asleep again.
There was news earlier that tonight, the demon clan will launch a wave of offensive, and it will be led by two S-level spirit demons.
An S-class spirit demon also appeared a few days ago. Wu Ning hurriedly hurriedly rushed but still didn't see it. I heard from the soldiers of the demon-slaying army that Commander Li, who came from the Demon Division of Star Town, only took a quarter of an hour. , he killed him completely and remained unscathed.
It's hard to imagine how strong Commander Li is, his strength is simply bottomless.
