Chapter 395 Wang Daquan’s Concerns

It’s the Spring Festival again, and even the less crowded southern suburbs will become lively again in these days. Men working outside, children who have moved away from home, and other elderly people who do not live here permanently for various reasons. Residents will come back to gather together on this day. There are many familiar faces on the streets that used to be slightly deserted. Everyone greets each other and tells each other about the hard work of the past year and the good omens for the coming year. The doors of every house are decorated with lights and colorful decorations to welcome the new year. A grand festival once upon a time.

Hao Ren's big house, which had lost its atmosphere for several years, finally became lively. In the evening, Vivian cooked an extremely sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for everyone. The biggest table in the house couldn't even accommodate it, so Hao Ren had to have another "separate feast" on the coffee table in the living room. Now there are ten people in this room (not counting cats and fish). It is really a challenge to eat together. But fortunately, the people in this room are not formal people. Everyone is happy when they are together. Anyway, looking at Lily It’s quite fun to run around the house looking for food. The Four King Kongs originally planned to challenge the wilderness survival behind the house as usual, but they were dragged in by Hao Rensheng - a joke, usually letting people roast rabbits in the wild with the northwest wind can be said to respect their faith, this big If you don’t let people into the house during the Chinese New Year, is it still called the Chinese New Year?

The bearded men couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to come in happily one by one and join in the fun.

Lily was running around the room carrying a roasted lamb leg, and she was so excited that... let alone metaphors, she didn't know what else to explain about Husky. Anyway, this girl was in a state of severe excitement. She would bow to everyone she caught and say New Year greetings. Even Vivian asked her to catch her several times, which made the vampire girl dumbfounded. Hao Ren held the wine glass and made a toast around the room. As the "head of the family" he began to speak: "This year...hey, it's less than a year. The first one to come here is probably Lily, for more than half a year. Anyway. No matter how long we have known each other, I thank you all for your support these days. There are so many of us from all over the world and we come from all races. It is not easy to get together. We will get along well in the future and strive to make our team... um, no, let our team become the world Well-known brand, I will take this glass of wine..."

Vivian kicked him from the side: "Stop shaking it. You've been holding this glass of wine around for more than ten minutes and still haven't drank it. Why are you pretending to be drunk?"

Hao Ren sat down and said: "Actually, I'm not good at drinking... Why don't you cooperate with me?"

Doudou was lying on the table. At this time, he curiously raised his head and licked Hao Ren's cup twice. He suddenly made a messy gurgling sound, and then began to flop on the table. The formation was as fast as the shore. Like an angry fish. Vivian quickly took the cup away: "You two are really two gentlemen, with such a drinking capacity..."

At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside was already loud. Lily ran up to Hao Ren and stretched out her two oily paws like a child: "Landlord, give me the firecrackers. I'm going to set off the firecrackers at the door."

Hao Ren felt happy when he saw the girl's cute appearance. He took out the firecrackers he had prepared and walked towards the door: "Let's go together!"

The crackling sound of firecrackers sounded, and Lily jumped up and down like an overly excited child in the firelight, arousing the interest of Nangong Wuyue, a calm girl. The two adults ran to the open space in front of the house and lit fireworks and firecrackers in various ways. Relying on their superhuman powers, they made it look like they were preparing to self-immolate.

Betsy and the four King Kongs were watching from the door, their faces full of horror. The bearded man tugged on Hao Ren's sleeve in astonishment: "Is this place like this every year?"

"Yes," Hao Ren held a half-burned incense stick, "it's true that firing off cannons on the street is not allowed in the city, but we don't really control it here in the suburbs."

Betsy looked at Hao Ren with great admiration: "I feel like the people in your world are much braver than ours. They regularly light a large number of explosives in front of their homes to celebrate the festival. It's really a bit like the legacy of the legendary berserkers..."

The door behind him was open, and when no one was paying attention, Dou Dou jumped out of the house. The little guy jumped to Hao Ren's feet, but the sound of firecrackers all around prevented everyone from noticing this little thing. Small movement.

The little mermaid looked at the loud fires in the open space with some fear and excitement, and then curiously picked up a firecracker that failed to explode from the ground nearby. She held the red stick with a vague smell of food and looked at it for a long time. Then I tore open the end of the "red stick" and found some strange black powder coming out of it.

The little mermaid thought for a while and felt that she should bravely explore the world, so she tilted her neck and poured the black powder from the firecracker into her mouth.

After a few seconds, the little guy finally burst into tears, spitting gunpowder powder vigorously while crying. Only then did Hao Ren and Vivian notice the movement under their feet, and they immediately became confused: " "Hey, how did this child get out..." "She ate gunpowder! She ate gunpowder!" "I went and really ate it?" "Hurry up and get some hot water... Oh, it's not a mouthwash! The beans are frozen again. "It's May! May come and help me! Get some hot water to melt the beans..."

The Hao family mansion is full of festive atmosphere - although there seems to be something wrong with the way it is lively.

Vivian and Nangong Wuyue struggled for a long time before finally getting Doudou to calm down. Of course, there is also the possibility that the little one has entered a semi-hibernation state again at low temperatures, so it is 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. The rice cooker was filled with After boiling the water, put Doudou in, so that the little one can enjoy the outdoor scenery in the ice and snow. Although she couldn't jump out, Doudou was obviously very satisfied. While soaking in the boiling water, she watched her dog sister setting off cannons in the open space in front of her, laughing non-stop.

Hao Ren thought for a while, took out a piece of red paper from the house, wrote the words "fish every year" and pasted it on the rice cooker. 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 weren't for the inscription written by the goddess, I would be embarrassed to post this thing outside..."

The couplet approved by Raven 12345 Yubi has been grandly posted at the door. In addition to the handwriting and the content, Hao Ren is hesitating whether to take a photo of it before other nefarious people pass by his door and take pictures. Posting it online can also be considered as providing some opportunities for netizens this New Year.

But it was ugly. The couplet posted at the door seemed to have some effect. In Hao Ren's alienated sight, he could see that a large area around his mansion was shrouded in some mysterious light. As long as he walked Once you enter the scope of radiance, you will feel a special sense of peace of mind. Maybe Raven 12345 is right. With these few pieces of paper, there is no problem in turning a two-mile radius into a sanctuary.

At this time, Betsy suddenly noticed that there was someone missing around her: "Why isn't the big guy here?"

Only then did Hao Ren notice that Y'zaks didn't come out with the others. He turned around and went back into the room, and was surprised to find Y'zaks sitting alone in front of the table drinking wine, seemingly turning a deaf ear to the excitement outside.

"Lao Wang! Y'Zhaks! Lao Yi!" Hao Ren greeted the big devil several times at the door but didn't wake up the big devil, so he had to run to him and knock on the table, "Why did you drink it? There are cannons going off outside. Don’t you want to join in the fun?”

"No," Yzaks said in a sullen voice, with a signature scary smile on his face, "It's good for me to have a drink here. There's a lot of trouble outside."

Hao Ren immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Although Yzaks usually has a gentle temper, he is not someone who hates excitement. Moreover, he looked like this now and clearly had something on his mind: "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

Yzaks had already drank two bottles of high-strength alcohol, but these artificial alcoholic beverages were completely meaningless to his special physique. He exhaled and looked at the lights and fireworks outside the window, his thoughts seemed to wander a little. Yuan: "It's a day for family reunion... Your holiday is quite good. Where we are... at least the devils don't have this concept."

Hao Ren looked at Yzaks' big and scary face showing an inexplicable loneliness. He never thought that this fierce man would show such an expression sometimes. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Then what... I know you are a person with stories. If you don't want to tell it, I will drink with you. If you are willing to tell it... I will listen. For those who are celebrating the New Year, there are Don't keep things in your mind, there are so many of us, maybe we can solve it for you."

Yzaks smiled and glanced at Hao Ren: "...I'd better tell you, you can easily kill yourself if you drink too much with me."

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, then heard Yzaks slowly speak: "Actually, it's nothing, I just miss my daughter..."

(For those who are celebrating the Chinese New Year, how about giving me some monthly tickets as red envelopes?)
