Chapter 3 The New Year
At this moment, a kind old woman knocked on the door twice and walked in slowly with a bottle of water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"You're awake, little girl." She took out the water cup from the locker and washed it, then poured a cup of pale green energy soup and handed it to Yeli.
Ye Li showed a puzzled expression, "Are you ......?" β
"If you don't mind, just call me Granny Yun. This is an energy soup that replenishes physical strength, and your body will recover faster after drinking it. β
Ye Li wanted to get up, but he was weak and had to nod, and caught the water cup containing the energy soup with both hands, "Oh, thank you!" β
Looking at the two green leaves floating on the energy soup, a wisp of refreshing fragrance floated into the nose leisurely, and he took a small sip without hesitation, and the warm and energetic feeling spread throughout the body, and the mind in the leaf gradually became clearer.
remembered what happened before the coma, and Chu Bing's sister once mentioned the key word 'go back to his hometown to worship', so ...... This should be the old residence of Chu Bing.
In other words, this mother-in-law is Chu Bing's grandmother?
"Granny Yun, I want to ask, where is Chu Bing now?"
"He, follow Chu Ran and his father to worship together, he should be almost back by this time." Granny Yun walked to the window with her hands behind her back, adjusted the angle of the window leaves, and looked at the scenery outside and said calmly.
After being silent for a while, she slowly turned around and gave Ye Li a reassuring smile: "You can recuperate here with peace of mind, I'll take care of some things first." β
"Well, I'm sorry for you." Ye Li nodded lightly, showing a little smile and watching Granny Yun leave.
After confirming that there was no one around, Ye Li's expression suddenly became solemn, and the pupil of his right eye gradually turned silver-gray, and at this time, a black book appeared out of thin air!
The pupil of the right eye flashed with the light of orange magic, and the six-pointed star on the cover of the black book was aimed at the instant, and the black book opened automatically, and with the kneading of the right finger in the air, the blank pages were turned one by one.
It took about three minutes for Yeri's expression to return to normal.
Two hours later.
Chu Bing and the others finished worshipping, and when they came back with Chu Ran's car, they went to the market street to buy a lot of things.
Parking the car on the side of the yard, Chu Ran got out of the car, and asked Chu Bing to move these New Year's goods into the house first, and Chu Bing happened to see the figure on the balcony of the mountain.
The breeze blows, and the braided hair flutters slightly...... The slim black suit, black and blue plaid skirt, and black stockings make the slender figure more delicate and moving against the backdrop of the Hexi sunshine!
As if noticing Chu Bing's gaze, she turned around, hiding her calm side face at once, staring at the strings of lanterns in Chu Bing's hands with dark eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Bing turned around and shouted to Chu Ran: "Sister, there is still a little thing left to take, so I will trouble you!" He hurried up the stairs to the second floor.
"Really...... With a little girlfriend, I don't care about my sister's feelings. Chu Ran glanced at the direction of Chu Bing and couldn't help but spit out this sentence.
Chu Bing came to the balcony of the mountain, hung the two lanterns under the eaves by the door, and then walked to her side, leaned on the platform of the railing to look at the winter scenery that was still green in the distance, and said, "How is the recovery?" Don't take a little more rest inside? β
"Well, after drinking Granny Yun's energy soup, my physical strength recovered quickly, and there is no problem with normal activities."
"So, what about magic?" Looking around, Chu Bing asked softly.
"It's only fifty percent."
Chu Bing sighed, then thought of something, and said to Ye Li: "Then do you still want to carry out that protection mission next?" Tomorrow is the New Year's Day..."
"New Year?"
Her head tilted slightly to the side, looking at the lantern that Chu Bing had just hung, "These things are for the New Year?" β
"Yes, there are several neighboring villages, and on the last day of the year, there is a collective New Year's Eve festival, and now the atmosphere in the street has begun to come alive."
Chu Bing pointed to the light smoke rising not far from the foot of the mountain, and some happy expressions appeared on his face, "There is a temple, tonight there will be a grand fireworks display and bonfire by the nearby lake, walk along the lake for a distance to reach the market street, then there will be lion dance, acrobatics, lantern riddles and other activities, as well as a dazzling array of delicious snacks!" β
"However, my friends in the old days have gone their separate ways, and now the Chinese New Year is not as lively as before." Chu Bing sighed softly, looked back and saw Ye Li's wandering eyes, and shook his hand in front of her eyes a few times, "Ye Li? β
"Oh, it's okay! You go on to say. She came back to her senses and replied.
"Hmm, what I mean is, why don't you tell me President Tianzi's number, and I'll call you to ask for a leave of absence and let you go home for the New Year?"
She was silent for a long time before she spat out: "I don't have a home, and I don't have relatives." β
Uh, how do you always poke at the bad atmosphere of the topic! No wonder she's so unfamiliar with lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, peach bamboo, etc.,Maybe she's alone in the school city......
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"It's fine."
"In that case, how about you experience the atmosphere of the New Year with me these days?" Chu Bing looked at Ye Li's eyes with a sincere attitude and spoke.
Feeling Chu Bing's sincere gaze, Ye Li hesitated.
Originally, her next plan was to silently carry out the task of protecting Chu Bing and the "Campus Chapter" (Black Book) in the dark, until the end of the New Year vacation, Chu Bing and Black Book can safely return to Orange School for class!
"Oh, don't hesitate, it's hard for you to hide in the grass and keep watching me and the enemy's movements! Well, if you don't speak, then I'll take you by default, huh? β
In the end, Ye Li was persuaded by Chu Bing. She bowed slightly, and added, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't leave my fifty-foot range." β
"No problem!" I always feel like I'm starting to ignite the anticipation for the New Year, hehe......
Looking at Ye Li's eyes, Chu Bing showed a happy smile.
Next, Chu Bing had to paste the Spring Festival couplets in the main living room of the old house one by one, and then hang a red envelope on the door of each room, and hang colorful silk lanterns on the peach and bamboo plants in the yard.
Looking at Chu Bing's busy figure, Ye Li, who was standing on the side, didn't know how to help, and occasionally looked back at Ye Li's flustered expression, the corners of Chu Bing's mouth raised a little good-looking arc, and his mood became more relaxed.
Chu Bing's gaze stayed on Ye Li's body for a long time, her cheeks finally couldn't help but float a shy red, her slender fingers touched her face, her beautiful eyelashes trembled, and she asked suspiciously, "Is there something dirty on my face?" β
"Well, your black outfit is not very suitable for the atmosphere of the New Year's holiday, I will ask Sister Chu Ran to take you to the market street to choose a few sets of festive clothes." Chu Bing circled around the leaves, holding his chin and thinking for a while,
Then he shouted into the house: "Sister, you take Yeli to the market street in the town to pick out some clothes." By the way, there are still some materials for making rice cakes, so I'll make a list for you. Hey, did you hear me! β
There was an inopportune sound of fierce gunfire in the house, and after Chu Ran's 'oh', there was no response, and Chu Bing had to go into the house to personally urge her to act.
After letting Chu Ran, who is lazy to play mechanical and video games, take Yeli to the market street, Chu Bing goes to the kitchen to help grandma, while Dad goes to the field to pick some vegetables and fruits and catch a few poultry back.
After a busy afternoon, it's finally time for a reunion dinner!
"The family ate around the dining table, and there was a warm scene of talking and laughing, which turned out to be like this...... It's amazing~"
At first, Yeli was still a little restrained, but fortunately, the frolicking atmosphere of Chu Bing and Chu Ran was active, and the tense mood slowly let go.
Seeing that there can be such a good relationship between sisters and brothers, in addition to the occasional wisp of envy in Ye Li's eyes, he also felt an inexplicable loss in his heart. This feeling has never been felt before.
After dinner, rest for half an hour, then take a bath and change clothes, change into color-blocked colorful satin clothes, and walk to the foot of the mountain, the time of the fireworks display is just right!
"Granny Yun, why don't you come along?" Dressed in a blue and white colored satin dress, she brought out the soft side of the leaf, but she didn't seem to be used to this kind of loose dress, and her walking posture became very cautious.
"Oh, Grandma said she'll be with Dad later, so let's go first." Chu Bing opened his mouth to answer, his eyes moved to the yellow and green satin shirt on his body, and then looked at Chu Ran's red and orange satin, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This yellow-green combination...... It's so colorful! It must be that my sister deliberately tricked herself, and she was angry about interrupting her to play mechanical video games at noon. Well, it must be like that.
"Hehe, look at the clothes I picked out for you, how suitable they are for you." At the beginning, Chu Ran patted Chu Bing's shoulder with a very serious expression, and in the end, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hey, pay attention to the image. Don't forget, you are a woman at this time, and you are also a teacher who longs for love. β
"Hey, what's this! Lady, it's not your sister or mine's style. Chu Ran brushed the bangs of short and medium hair between his forehead, and said disapprovingly.
Ye Li, who was beside Chu Ran, had a quiet expression, and he didn't mean to talk at all.
"Maybe you'll meet the man you fell in love with at first sight?"
"Boom, ramblingβyou need to take care of it!" Hearing Chu Bing's tone, he was about to catch up with his nagging father, and Chu Ran looked at him with a disgusted look.
Despite this, Chu Ran still looked at the passers-by walking around with some concern.
"Poof......" At this moment, Chu Bing finally couldn't help laughing. Chu Ran stared at Chu Bing with vicious eyes, and was about to speak back when he was about to fight back,
Bang Bang Bang β
There is still some way to go from the three lakes of Mochizuki, and the first fireworks rise up there and bloom into three gorgeous clusters!
"Wow, that's beautiful!"
"Mom, there are still words in the fireworks! Now, what's written on it? β
"Well, it says 'Happy New Year.'"
Behind Chu Bing, there was a burst of excited and immature little girl voice, looking back at the figure of a family of three.
The middle-aged man in navy blue dress nodded with a smile when he saw Chu Bing and the others, indicating his greeting.
Chu Bing didn't know him, but he also smiled and nodded in response, thinking that he should be a guest at the hotel.
