Chapter 099: The New Year is Approaching
Winters in the northeast of the Dragon Kingdom are cold, especially as the Lunar New Year approaches. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Snow was falling from the sky one after another, and the open space outside the house had accumulated at least nearly a meter of snow, and the bare-light tree poles were covered with transparent ice ballast.
The animals have disappeared, and the plants are dead, but by the spring of the following year, these animals that have disappeared, and the plants that are now lifeless, will surprise both humans and insects.
Xi Chen stood in a dilapidated three-story building, looked at the snow falling outside, and sighed into the Shuiyue base.
This is the outskirts of Peony City, and this building is an old house, apparently destroyed in the battle with the Bugs, and now, like its surroundings, it has been abandoned by the humans.
A formation has been laid around this dilapidated house, and even if someone or creature passes by inadvertently from outside, they will not be able to see this house.
Peony City is not far from the Goshawk Country, and there used to be frequent trade in peacetime times, but now in extraordinary times, the surviving humans in the entire city have moved to the nearest base. Those who have the ability have moved to Lilac City, which is not too far from Peony City.
Lilac City has a large base, the Northern Base, which is one of the largest bases in the Dragon Kingdom.
And Qianfan had already brought a team of people a few days ago to explore several small bases nearby, and they would rush back here before the Lunar New Year arrived. Go out to check one to understand the overall situation of the current Dragon Kingdom, and the other is to see the specific situation of Peony City.
Xi Chen chose to settle here, naturally because it was remote enough, even if there was an occasional shadow of a human being, it was also passing by.
Since entering the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, Xi Chen has not been in a hurry, anyway, relatives and friends have already been together, as long as it is the boundary of the Dragon Kingdom, it is the same wherever the New Year is celebrated.
In the base of the water moon, there are lights everywhere.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and 2027 is coming, even if it is the end of the world and the troubled times, it can't stop people from wanting to reunite. What's more, in the Shuiyue base, there is peace, how can you not pay attention to the New Year. New Year is one of the most important festivals for the people of Longguo.
The Xi family has been coming and going these days, Xi Chengyi and Chi Yi are busy welcoming and sending off guests, and the corners of their mouths are upturned all day long, and they are so happy.
When Xi Chen entered the house, Xi's father and Xi's mother had just sent away a group of guests who came to the door.
Xi Chengyi is the deputy base director of the Shuiyue Base in charge of ordinary people, and Chi Yi is the director of the neighborhood committee in charge of ordinary people's affairs, and the relationship between the two is still very good. Seeing that this is about to be the New Year, there are still quite a few people who come to visit.
Add to that some old neighbors and new friends, and there are even more people coming to the door.
When Xi Chen entered the door, Granny Yan, Jin Xiyan's parents and Chu Heng's parents were still in the living room, and when they saw Xi Chen coming back, they greeted them warmly one by one.
"Xiaochen, are you back?"
"Well, Granny Yan is good, Uncle Jin is good, Aunt He is good, Uncle Chu is good, Aunt Liu is good." When Xi Chen saw the elders, he immediately showed the signature smile of a good girl, and greeted them one by one.
Jin Xiyan's father is called Jin Shanda, and her mother is He Fenglian; Chu Heng's father is called Chu Qi, his mother is Liu Shi, and there is a Yan mother-in-law Jiang Rong, all of whom grew up watching her grow up, and in front of these elders, she can only be a good girl.
In fact, in the eyes of these elders, Xi Chen is indeed a good girl. Of course, this does not refer to the kind of obedient girl with a gentle personality, but the kind of child from someone else's family who has been outstanding since childhood to adulthood and makes the elders look long.
Xi Chen's grades have been excellent since he was a child, and now he is even more outstanding, although the elders here are ordinary people without abilities, but they also know from the mouths of their children or close friends that Xi Chen's abilities are definitely higher than ordinary abilities.
In addition, being able to enter the Water Moon World at the beginning was actually the credit of Xi Chen, so everyone was grateful to the Xi family.
Especially in the country of magpies and goshawks, I am even more grateful when I see the hardships of human existence in the outside world today.
If it weren't for Xi Chen, if it weren't for the neighbors of the Xi family, they would have been displaced long ago, just like those people outside. Maybe if you are unlucky, your family is dead and scattered, how can you live happily together as a family like now?
Therefore, these elders are sincerely grateful to the Xi family, and after entering the Shuiyue base, they often come and go with the Xi family, and they still maintain the previous neighborhood relationship.
Chu's father and Chu's mother knew something about Chu Heng's thoughts about Xi Chen.
However, they have long seen that their son is excellent, but not good enough, let alone standing by Xi Chen's side. If you don't say anything else, let's just say that Qianfan, it is not something that your own son can compare.
So for Jin Xiyan, Chu's father and Chu's mother still really like to accept it. After all, that girl is also what they have seen since childhood, and she only has his son in her heart, and the conditions of the Jin family are also a good match with their family, so they are naturally happy to see the two of them make up a pair.
These days, under the explicit and implicit hints of the two of them, Chu Heng is not so indifferent to Jin Xiyan, and he has also responded to Jin Xiyan's feelings.
Although in comparison, Jin Xiyan still paid more, compared with her previous unrequited love, it is a lot of progress, and Jin Xiyan herself is also ecstatic about keeping the clouds open and seeing the sun and the moon.
Therefore, the two families have been very close recently, and this visit before the New Year is also about to come to the Xi family together.
After Xi Chen finished greeting the elders, Xi Chengyi and Chi Yi also turned back to the group of guests after sending them off, and chatted briefly with Granny Yan and the others, Xi Chen took advantage of this to say hello and went upstairs to find Xi Yuan to play.
Xi Yuan was playing in the garden on the top of the building, and the owl in his hand was given by Qianfan.
"Xiaoyuan, do you want to be my sister?" As soon as Xi Chen came, the owl called 'Mao Mao' flew to her shoulder, and stopped playing with Xi Yuan. Who told Xi Chen to feed him delicious crystal nuclei every time he came? That fragrant crystal nucleus is not only delicious, but it can also be promoted after eating, how can it not be a little dogleg and pounce on it?
"Sister, are you back?" How could Xi Yuan not want his sister, but Xi Chen was very busy, and he had to go home for a long time every time, and he couldn't stay for a few days each time.
Especially recently, it takes more than a month to see his sister at every turn, Xi Yuan really misses his sister, he will never admit it, he wants to see Xi Chen's delicious food every time, as well as novel toys, and all kinds of protective equipment......
Seeing that Xi Chen fed Maomao several wind-based animal crystal nuclei in a row, Xi Yuan's big watery eyes also looked at Xi Chen longingly, which made Xi Chen laugh loudly: This little kid!
took out some food, use, and play for Xi Yuan, Xi Chen smiled and watched him touch this and that happily, and then put them all away without leaving any of them.
"How's your ability?" After Xi Chen finished speaking, a waterspout in her hand sent out and rolled towards Xi Yuan, she wanted to see if this little guy's ability was slack. In order to take care of Xi Yuan's strength, she deliberately reduced the power of the waterspout to see if he could cope with it easily. (To be continued.) )
