It was another Lunar New Year. Even the deserted Southern Suburbs would be bustling with activity these few days. Men who worked outside, children who had moved away from their families, and other old residents who did not live in the area for various reasons would come back for a reunion on this day. There were many familiar faces on the usually deserted streets. Everyone greeted each other, telling each other about the hard work of the past year and the good omens for the coming year. Lanterns and streamers were hung in front of every house to welcome the annual grand festival.
Hao Ren's house, which had not had a festive atmosphere for a few years, finally became lively again. At night, Vivian cooked a sumptuous feast for everyone. Even the biggest table in the house could not fit all of them. Hao Ren had no choice but to set up a 'separate feast' on the coffee table in the living room. Now that there were ten people in the house (not counting the cat and the fish), it was really a challenge to eat together. Fortunately, the people in the house were not sticklers for formalities. Everyone got together for fun. Anyway, it was fun to see Lily running around the house looking for food. The four vajras had planned to challenge themselves to survive in the wild behind the house as usual, but they were dragged into the house by Hao Ren. What a joke. Letting them roast a rabbit in the wild in the northwest wind could be considered a sign of respect and faith, but not letting people into the house during the Spring Festival? How could it still be called the Spring Festival?
Big Beardy and the rest could not dissuade Hao Ren, so they happily joined in the fun.
Lily was running around the house with a roasted lamb leg in her hand. She was so excited that there was no need for an analogy. She was a husky, so there was no need for an explanation. Anyway, the maiden was in a state of extreme excitement. She bowed to everyone she saw. Even Vivian was caught by her a few times. The vampire maiden did not know whether to laugh or cry. Hao Ren, on the other hand, held a glass of wine and toasted around the house. As the 'head of the family', he began to speak. "This year … Sigh, it's not even a year. The first person to come here was Lily. She's been here for more than half a year. Anyway, no matter how long we've known each other, thank you for your support. There are so many of us, from all over the world. It's not easy to get together. Let's get along well from now on. Let's strive to make our gang … Err, let's make our team a world-renowned brand. This glass of wine, I'll … "
Vivian kicked him from the side. "Stop shaking. You've been holding this glass for more than ten minutes and you haven't drunk it. Stop pretending to be drunk."
Hao Ren sat down awkwardly. "Actually, I'm not a good drinker … Why don't you play along with me?"
Lil Pea, who was lying on the table, curiously got up and licked her lips. Lil Lil Pea Pea She licked her head. She licked her lips curiously. Lil Pea Pea Lil Pea Pea, and Lil Lil Pea Lil Lil Peted Year and Lil Dragon Pee Time. d Lil Day'd Pea …
By then, the sound of firecrackers had become a cacophony. Lily ran up to Hao Ren and stretched out her greasy paws like a child. "Landlord, give me the firecrackers. I'm going to the door to set them off."
Hao Ren looked at the cute girl and was delighted. He took out the firecrackers from his Dimensional Pocket and walked to the door. "Let's go together!"
The sound of firecrackers crackled. Lily jumped up and down in the fire like an excited child. Even Nangong Wuyue, a calm girl, was intrigued. The two adults ran to the open space in front of the house and set off the firecrackers in different ways. Relying on their superhuman bodies, they made it look like they were about to set themselves on fire.
Becky and the four vajras were watching from the doorway. Big Beardy tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve. "Is this place like this every year?"
"Yeah." Hao Ren held the half-lit incense in his hand. "In the city, people aren't allowed to set off firecrackers on the streets. But it's still the same in the suburbs."
Becky looked at Hao Ren with admiration. "I feel like the people in this world are much braver than we are. Every year, they set off a large number of explosives in front of their house to celebrate the festival. You're really like the legendary berserkers …"
The door behind them was wide open. Lil Pea jumped out of the house when no one was looking. The little one bounced to Hao Ren's feet. But the sound of firecrackers was so loud that no one noticed it.
The little mermaid was a little scared and excited as she looked at the loud firecrackers on the ground. Then she curiously picked up a firecracker that did not explode. She held the red stick that had a faint aroma of food and looked at it for a long time. Then she tore open the tail of the "red stick" and found some strange black powder flowing out.
The little mermaid thought for a moment and felt that she should explore this world bravely. So, she tilted her head and poured the black powder into her mouth.
A few seconds later, the little one finally burst into tears. As she cried, she kept spitting out the gunpowder. Only then did Hao Ren and Vivian notice what was happening under their feet. They immediately panicked. "Hey, how did the child come out …" "She ate gunpowder! She ate gunpowder! "" Holy sh * t, she really ate gunpowder? "" Get some hot water … Oh no, rinse your mouth! Lil Pea is frozen again! "" Wuyue! Wuyue, come and help! Get some hot water to melt Lil Pea … "
The Hao Family's mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere — although the way it was happening seemed to be a little weird.
It took Vivian and Wuyue a long time to finally calm Lil Pea down. Of course, it was also possible that the little one was in a semi-hibernation state under the low temperature, so it was easier to coax. Later, seeing that the little one really wanted to stay outside, Vivian came up with a good idea: she took out the rice cooker at home and used a long extension cord to connect the electricity in the living room to the door. She filled the rice cooker with water, boiled it, and put Lil Pea in. That way, the little one could enjoy the outdoors in the snow. Although she could not jump out, Lil Pea was obviously very satisfied. As she soaked in the hot water, she watched her doggy sister shooting firecrackers in the open space in front of her.
Hao Ren thought for a moment, took out a piece of red paper from the house, wrote the words "Fish Every Year" and stuck it on the rice cooker. Then, he was deeply impressed by his creativity.
"It's the couplet at the door …" Vivian frowned and turned to look at the couplet at the door. "If it wasn't for the goddess's inscription, I'm really embarrassed to stick this thing outside …"
The couplet, personally written by Raven 12345, had been stuck at the door. Besides the handwriting, there was also the content of the couplet. Hao Ren was hesitating if he should take a picture of it and post it on the Internet before other people passed by. It could be considered as something to complain about this Spring Festival.
But as ugly as it was, the couplet at the door seemed to have some effect. In Hao Ren's vision, he could see that a large area around his mansion was shrouded in some kind of mysterious light. As long as he walked into the light, he would feel a special sense of security. Perhaps Raven 12345 was right. With just a few pieces of paper, it would not be a problem to turn a two-mile radius into a sanctuary.
At this time, Becky suddenly noticed that someone was missing. "Where's the big guy?"
Only then did Hao Ren notice that Y 'zaks did not come out with the others. He turned back to the house and was surprised to find Y' zaks sitting at the table, drinking alone. He seemed to have turned a deaf ear to the noise outside.
"Y 'zaks! Y 'zaks! Y 'zaks! " Hao Ren called out a few times at the door, but the big demon did not wake up. He ran to Y 'zaks and knocked on the table. "Why are you drinking by yourself? There's firecrackers outside. Want to join in the fun?"
"No," Y 'zaks said in a muffled voice, with a signature scary smile on his face. "I'm fine drinking here. It's noisy outside. "
Hao Ren immediately felt that something was wrong. Although Y 'zaks usually had a mild temper, he was not a person who hated noise. And now, it was obvious that he had something on his mind. "What's wrong? Something on your mind? "
Y 'zaks had already drunk two bottles of high-alcohol, but these artificial alcoholic drinks were meaningless to his special physique. He took a deep breath and looked at the lights and fireworks outside the window. His thoughts seemed to drift a little. "It's a day for family reunion … It's a good festival. Where I come from … at least the demons don't have this concept."
Hao Ren saw an inexplicable loneliness on Y 'zaks's big scary face. He did not expect this fierce man to have such an expression. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Well … I know you're a man with a story. If you don't want to tell me, I'll drink with you. If you want to … I'll listen. It's the New Year, don't keep it to yourself. There are so many of us, maybe we can help you solve it. "
Y 'zaks smiled and looked at Hao Ren. "… I'd better tell you. With your tolerance, you'll kill yourself if you drink with me."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. Y 'zaks slowly said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just miss my daughter …"
(It's the New Year. Can you give me some monthly tickets as a red packet?)
