The Bao'er's clear and melodious laughter echoed in Zuo Yi's ears.
He remembered when he was young. One year, it snowed heavily in Hangzhou and he played with a snowman with his mother.
It was also in this yard.
The beautiful memories of his childhood had been sealed in the deepest part of Zuo Yi's heart until now.
He was a little absent-minded.
"Dad?"
The little girl's voice brought Zuo Yi back to his senses.
He realized that the snowman project was basically complete. All that was left was the final decoration.
Placing the golden staff beside the snowman, Zuo Yi put a bright scarf on it.
Only the nose and eyes were left.
The Bao'er eagerly volunteered. "Dad, let me do it!"
Zuo Yi did as she wished. He reached out and carried the little girl so that she could put the carrot on the snowman's face. Finally, she embedded two valuable obsidian stones.
These were not ordinary obsidian stones. They were top-grade witchcraft materials!
A big snowman was born.
"Atay …"
The Bao'er was very happy. She proudly showed off to Foodie Tai. "Beautiful, right?"
Woof!
Teck: Bao'er is right!
"And the hat!"
Fang Yonghe brought a plush hat over and put it on the snowman. She smiled and said, "Let me take a picture for you."
She stepped back and held her phone with both hands.
"Atay, come here."
The Bao'er called Foodie Tai. "Great-aunt, take a picture for us!"
Teck obediently ran over and squatted in front of Zuo Yi. Zuo Yi held the little girl while she hugged Zuo Yi's neck.
"Eggplant ~"
Click!
A picture was taken.
The Bao'er shouted, "Great-aunt, let's take a picture together with Dad!"
Fang Yonghe was in a dilemma. "Then who will take the picture?"
Bao'er giggled. "Ah Gu!"
Hearing this, Agu floated out of the living room. It's finally my turn to appear. Long time no see, everyone!
Crack! Crack!
Following the sound of the camera shutter, one photo after another captured the beauty of this moment!
Good times always fly by.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
…
In the distance, the sound of firecrackers could be heard. The lights of the metropolis on the other side of the river were bright.
The living room of Lin Jiang's Zuo residence was as warm as spring. The charcoal fire in the fireplace was burning brightly. Teck was lying in front of the fireplace, comfortably stretching his body, and then sniffling hard.
The air was filled with the aroma of food.
Tonight was New Year's Eve. Fang Yonghe used all her skills to make a table full of delicious dishes. In the middle of the table was a steaming hot beef hotpot. The milky white soup was boiling, making people drool just by looking at it.
"Bao'er!"
Fang Yonghe called out, "Don't watch TV. Come and have New Year's Eve dinner."
"Coming!"
The little girl jumped down from the sofa with the black cat in her arms and ran to the table. "Wow, it smells so good!"
"You must be hungry, right?"
Fang Yonghe handed her a pair of chopsticks and said lovingly, "Hurry up and eat."
"Okay."
The Bao'er put Mephistopheles on the stool next to him and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food.
Zuo Yi reminded her, "Did you wash your hands?"
"Oh."
The little girl stuck out her tongue and ran to wash her hands.
Teck got up from the fireplace in front of the Bao'er and waited to be fed.
Meow!
Mephistopheles raised his tail and looked down at him.
Woof!
Teck immediately glared back. What are you looking at?
Meow, I'm looking at you!
Woof, look again!
Meow, I'm still looking!
Zuo Yi couldn't take it anymore. "You two!"
The black cat and the white dog were silent. They both tucked their tails and didn't dare to make a sound.
"I'm back!"
The Bao'er ran back and waved his hands at Zuo Yi. "Is it clean?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi rewarded him with a pat on the head. "You can start eating."
The Bao'er giggled.
Squirrel mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp, Dongpo pork, West Lake water shield soup, Beggar's chicken, shrimp fried eel, Pian Chuan …
They were all authentic Hangzhou delicacies. Fang Yonghe also steamed a few baskets of Cantonese desserts and a Chaoshan-style beef hotpot. It was simply irresistible.
The Bao'er ate with his little mouth like a squirrel.
She stuffed her little belly with food and didn't forget to feed Teck and Mephistopheles.
Both of them liked to eat beef, especially Demon Bull meat.
Most of the beef tenderloin that the little girl personally cooked was fed to them.
Teck: The Bao'er is the best in the world.
Mephistopheles: Meow meow meow meow!
Zuo Yi was also full of praise. "Auntie, you can totally be a chef in a hotel!"
Ever since Fang Yonghe moved to the old house, she spent a lot of effort on three meals a day. She used all kinds of methods to supplement the Bao'er's nutrition. Her cooking skills improved rapidly.
Fang Yonghe smiled. "As long as you like it."
The happiest thing for her was watching Zuo Yi and the Bao'er wolfing down the food she made.
Zuo Yi opened a bottle of red wine and shared it with his aunt.
"Come."
He raised his glass and said, "I wish everyone a happy new year and all the best!"
Fang Yonghe smiled and raised her glass. "The new year is getting better and better."
"Me too!"
The Bao'er quickly raised his glass. "Yes, I wish dad and auntie happiness!"
Zuo Yi and Fang Yonghe smiled at each other and said in unison, "Cheers!"
Ding!
The three glasses clinked together.
At this moment of family reunion, Zuo Yi couldn't help but think of his mother. If only his mother was still alive and could spend New Year's Eve with everyone. How great would that be?
Zuo Qingyun's voice and smile appeared and disappeared in Zuo Yi's mind. He suddenly thought of the Bao'er's mysterious mother.
But he didn't know where she was at this moment, and whether she was thinking of the little girl.
Zuo Yi finished the wine in the cup in one gulp and smiled again.
The most important thing now was to hold on to the family around him.
"Come, let's have another toast."
Good wine paired with good dishes. The taste was intoxicating.
After eating this sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, the Bao'er's stomach became round. Then there was a pleasant surprise.
The auntie gave her a big red packet, and so did the father.
The little girl was very happy after receiving the New Year's money.
"Baoshu!"
At this moment, she suddenly felt something and immediately ran out of the living room.
She didn't know when a group of fireflies had flown into the courtyard. These little fairies that shouldn't exist in winter were flying up and down around the Bao'er. The little fireflies illuminated the little girl's face.
Then the butterflies flew over, the dragonflies flew over, and the birds flew over. The coldness of winter quietly retreated, and the smell of spring filled the entire courtyard. The wildflowers in the corner quietly bloomed. It was like a dream, as if it didn't belong to the human world.
This was Baoshu, sending New Year's blessings to the Bao'er.
My health hasn't been good recently, so I haven't updated much. Please forgive me.
