The footsteps of the Chinese New Year's Eve came quietly, this is the most important day of the year, thousands of families are busy all day, just for a hearty but warm Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the meal can be eaten at any time, but people may not be able to reunite, just like Shen Huiyan who has not returned today.

The two of them pulled out of each other's warm embrace, hurriedly cleaned up, and plunged into a beautiful day. The two old men had already been busy, and Huang Xi and Han Ling started to play with interest as soon as they came. The old grandmother looked at the sweet lovers who were as happy as a newlywed and said: "Young man, can you help the old grandmother paste the couplet, it used to be posted by my uncompetitive son, but he is still stuck on the way back." ”

"Well, no problem, I'll do this kind of heavy work." Huang Xi picked up the couplet without complaint and ran out.

The couplet turned out to be written by the old grandfather that was Qing Huihao, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, the pen walks like a dragon, the word lies like a green pine, can write so perfectly, the peak, not a few decades of hard work that is difficult to wait for the elegant hall.

"The jade dragon spits treasure to celebrate the auspicious day, and the golden phoenix celebrates the New Year with pearls." Huang Xi followed the silent recitation, and only then did he paste the couplet, looking at the couplet between the two families, it was really heartfelt, no matter how ordinary a family is, there is happiness that others envy and desire, and it is hard to find, so he is thinking, can he have a home like Han Ling in the future? A real, perfect home.

The reunion dinner at noon ended perfectly in the atmosphere of the two old and two young people talking happily, Huang Xi couldn't wait to take Han Ling to the house, this is the wish he wants to achieve the most at this time, since his father talked to him, he knows his parents' thoughts, so this time he made up his mind to take Han Ling back to let his parents see, he believes that his parents will like Han Ling.

Pushing open the familiar door, Huang Xi took Han Ling's hand that trembled slightly with nervousness, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, although my mother is a serious housekeeper, she still loves girls very much, you are so beautiful, you will definitely like it." ”

While speaking, he had already come to the hall, and the house had been cleaned up neatly, although it was not a rich family, but it was very warm, Han Ling was still looking around nervously, until a middle-aged woman appeared. This person is Huang Xi's mother Yang Yuqing, I saw her holding a photo album in her hand, but she looked at the two people in front of her in shock, and after a while, she stepped forward a few steps, pulled Huang Xi's ear and said, "Where have you been these days, should you still be your home?" Then he saw Han Ling next to him, and immediately stopped, and said dignifiedly: "Who is this little girl?" ”

Huang Xi didn't dare to let go of Han Ling's hand, but instead raised her ten fingers tightly and said, "Her name is Han Ling, and she is my girlfriend." ”

Yang Yuqing opened his mouth in disbelief, and it took several seconds before he was surprised and delighted: "You say it again." ”

Huang Xi had the courage to repeat it again, but Han Ling had already been pulled over by Yang Yuqing, looking up and down, his eyes had become more and more uneasy, as if he had met his own daughter. Huang Yi and Huang Chen in the hall also noticed that they stood up on the sofa with great interest. Huang Xi introduced Han Ling at the right time, and the latter called it very politely, but was pulled onto the sofa by Yang Yuqing and asked him cordially.

Han Ling didn't adapt at first, she replied shyly like a girl next door, and it wasn't until Huang Xi cast a gentle gaze on her that she could stabilize her emotions, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Huang Yi asked Huang Xi with his eyes, the latter understood, sat next to Han Ling at the moment, and told the story of his acquaintance with Han Ling in words that he had already thought of, of course, these are all made up, but when it comes to Han Ling's life experience, he did not have the slightest obscurity, and expressed his seven emotions in a very rendering tone, only to hear Yang Yuqing startled, pulling Han Ling's eyes to shine, and the great maternal love was fully revealed.

After introducing Han Ling, Huang Xi breathed a sigh of relief and observed his mother's reaction, but the latter couldn't hold more people in his eyes, so he pulled Han Ling and crackled, anyway, the parents can talk for a few days and nights, Huang Xi has a heartache for Han Ling's ears, but Han Ling is obviously very cooperative, and from time to time he asks Huang Xi about his troubles, Yang Yuqing flipped through the album one by one, introducing everything in this family one by one, anyway, except for the two of them, no one else can interject any other topics at all.

The family's reaction was better than Huang Xi imagined, mainly because they were worried that their mother would not have a good time, but now it seemed that his worries were superfluous, and he began to suspect that Han Ling was his long-lost sister. The warm atmosphere infects every family member, Huang Xi seems to have grown up all of a sudden, no longer messing with his younger brother, and rarely asks him about the final exam, telling him to study seriously and not to be as muddy as himself. Huang Yi also clearly felt this, although Huang Xi was often not at home these days, he also doubted, but he did not delve into it, as a father, he didn't know how to express his love for his children, but this is not indulgence, but it is love that blood is thicker than water, and it is trust.

The reunion dinner, carrying the happiness of the family, looking at the whole of China today, here is just an ordinary microcosm, but there is lively laughter, warm feelings, which is hard to find.

After eating the reunion dinner, feeling that the time was about the same, Huang Xi straightened up and explained to his mother, Yang Yuqing no longer regarded Huang Xi as a child, but felt that his child had really grown up, and was deeply comforted.

It wasn't until he left this familiar home that Huang Xi felt a lot of tears, of course Han Ling could feel his thoughts, and silently held his hand, as if he wanted to accompany this young man for the rest of his life, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would unswervingly accompany him. If he breaks in, he will accompany him from birth to death. When he retreats, he will accompany him to recuperate. If he is defeated, he will accompany him to make a comeback. If he wins, he will accompany him to reign over the world.

In front of the Nightingale Bar, everyone is excited to enjoy the strong atmosphere of the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and there is still half an hour, the old year is about to pass, and the new year is coming. This is everyone's first New Year, so it is particularly meaningful, looking at everyone neatly and lively, Huang Xi suddenly remembered Chen Haofeng who was still lying in the hospital, and said guiltily at the moment: "The madman is still in the hospital, he must be very lonely, if we don't accompany him, will he be so sad that he faints." ”

Li Wenqiang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the madman has been able to barely get off the ground in the past two days, and it is estimated that he is on the way to come now, and at such an important moment, none of our brothers can be missing." ”

"Brother Yu is also back?" Huang Xi said excitedly.

"That's right, let's count down together, no one can be absent, every year in the future, we will count down here, and whoever is absent will deduct half a year's dividends?" Li Xiaojie was holding a cigarette with both hands in his pockets, handsome and compelling.

At this time, a van stopped in front of everyone, Chen Tangyu got down first, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Let you wait for a long time, it's all the blame for the madman's sick number, even a little nurse can't handle it, I invited all the nurses directly as soon as I appeared, haha." Saying that, I saw a man and a woman getting out of the car, the man was Chen Haofeng, everyone saw it, and they all stepped forward to ask for warmth, this Chen Tangyu is really capable, even the nurses brought in, and took care of Chen Haofeng throughout the whole process, I saw him sitting in a wheelchair, and his breath was much better than a few days ago.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Huang Xi said at the right time: "Today is really a good day, let's prepare to count down." The crowd closed the road, and even the people in the bar walked out onto the road to prepare for the arrival of the New Year, and the atmosphere began to liven up. There are more and more people standing next to Huang Xi, some know and some don't, but no one minds.

At this time, unexpected things appeared, only to see Bai Lan holding a bouquet of roses, holding a handsome young man to come, greeting everyone at the door of the bar, Huang Xi was really surprised, secretly thinking about the origin of this young man, but before he could guess the reason, Wudao's familiar figure came into view again, it was not anyone, it was Ye Minting, Zhang Hanjie, He Ying, Xia An'an and Jiang Xiyun.

Today is really a good day, but Huang Xi is a little unnatural, Han Ling smiled evilly: "Husband, I asked them to come, you won't mind, right?" The latter was quite surprised, Han Ling wouldn't really join their organization, right? Is this good news or bad news? Huang Xi stubbornly greeted Bai Lan and the others one by one, and the countdown was imminent, and it was inconvenient to say anything, and everyone began to invest in the moment of nervousness and excitement.

Under the auspices of Chen Tangyu, the countdown ceremony entered the last minute, and the road was bustling with pedestrians. The big TV at the door of the bar counts down to the second with the big atmosphere of the TV station, everyone puts their eyes on the TV, and with the jump of time on the screen, everyone shouts frantically: "10,9,8......3,2,1." Then say Happy New Year to the people around you.

Huang Xi took Han Ling's hand, his eyes were unwavering, He Ying, Xia An'an, Jiang Xiyun, and Ye Minting stood between the two, as if there was an insurmountable gap, Huang Xi knew that his feelings for Han Ling had surpassed them, so he was hesitant in his heart. It was a crazy night, and the revelers didn't disperse until dawn.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the Nightingale Bar was overcrowded, and Huang Xi devoutly burned incense to worship Guan Gong, which is an indispensable southern custom. The Fuqing Gang entered everyone's field of vision for the first time, the Fuqing Gang is the largest gangster in the south, with power throughout the southern provinces and cities, and is the absolute southern underworld overlord, the Southern Underworld Summit is scheduled for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and all the Southern underworld gangs that received the invitation were invited as scheduled, in fact, the annual summit is just a tribute and loyalty, but this year's underworld situation is indeed a little changed, so this year there is no harmonious atmosphere like in previous years.

Fuzhou, Fujian, the base of the Fuqing Gang, the summit was set in a manor on the outskirts of Fuzhou, and as in previous years, a steady stream of southern gangsters flocked here. The manor is the entrance of the Fuqing Gang in Fuzhou, covering a very large area, the entire hill is included in the scope of the manor, plus the open flat land, enough to accommodate thousands of people to play, it is more than enough to host such a large number of parties.

When the YMCA arrived, it was already the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and dozens or hundreds of buses were parked outside the gate of the farm, and even many luxury cars and sports cars were gathered, and the momentum was no less than that of an international summit. Hundreds of young men lined up to enter the manor, and they were full of unfamiliar faces, and they didn't know which gang they were from, anyway, they didn't know each other, and this was not their own territory, so they didn't dare to provoke casually, but they were all right.

As soon as the arrangement was made, Huang Xi received a call from Ye Leicheng, saying that a bonfire dinner was set up by the artificial lake in the manor, and he didn't eat well all day, so he took a few brothers to the lake without thinking about it.

When I arrived, I saw that the bonfire had been lit for a long time, and several fat sheep were roasting in front of the fire, as well as hares, pheasants and other mountain delicacies. A large number of people sat on the ground in front of the fire, except for Ye Leicheng and Peng Zhensheng, the two underworld overlords of G City, no one else knew each other, Huang Xi greeted the two politely, Ye Leicheng had a calm face, Peng Zhensheng saw Peng Yaozu, although he was as silent as ever, his eyes still vaguely showed a sense of excitement.

Huang Xi said at the right time: "Uncle Peng, Happy New Year, I can't move around these days, I don't have time to come to the door to greet you and Yaozu for the New Year, and after this party, I must come to the door to ask for your big red envelope, haha." ”

Peng Zhensheng smiled at Ye Leicheng and said: "Nephew, you are really unique, you can meet a young man with unlimited potential like Huang Xi, I want to retire and haven't found a suitable successor, I am really envious." ”

Ye Leicheng said with a smile in his heart: "Old Peng, you are right, Bole often has, and Maxima does not often have, Huang Xi is indeed a material that can be made, but I see that your family Yaozu is also a dragon and phoenix among people, you also need to let him wander a little, so that he can continue the glory of the Eight Banners Gang in the future." ”

"Yes, I think Yaozu will definitely be able to match Peng Lao, eight or nine times out of ten." Several people in front of the fire rushed to get up, and good words were endless.

Peng Zhensheng seemed not to be surprised, waved his sleeves and breezes, and looked at Huang Xi and Peng Yaozu meaningfully and smiled without saying a word. Ye Leicheng introduced Huang Xi to the few people present, all of whom were underworld heroes who dominated the south alone, and Huang Xi didn't dare to underestimate it, and said flattering scenes like a familiar one, and the few people who provoked him laughed again and again and said that the future was terrifying and promising.

The golden fat sheep gradually wafted fragrant, coveted, several people talked about the interesting story of last night's mountain hunting, it turned out that these people had arrived two days earlier, and they also went up the mountain to hunt last night, although the results were not good, but there was still a slight harvest. Everyone unloaded the food into eight pieces and feasted on it, and Li Wenqiang and several people around the bonfire were in high spirits, blending the atmosphere at this time, singing about their friendship years without mind, and finally dancing around the bonfire, which made several gangster bosses addicted and praised the young people's infinite vitality.

After a tumultuous meal, everyone touched the propped belly, burped, and could only drink some wine to continue the atmosphere, and the dinner was not over until the bonfire was extinguished. At the mention of a gang boss, a gambling game was organized, and Huang Xi brought two million in tribute, although he wanted to see it, but he was shy of money and couldn't gamble quickly, so he could only prevaricate and say that he wanted to go on a night hunt and left.

Bringing hunting equipment, Huang Xi and the other brothers went up the mountain in the dark, although the road to the mountain at night was difficult, but with the guidance of experienced hunters, plus the hunting dogs to open the way, it was not so dangerous. The first time a group of people hunted at night, they looked very nervous and excited, and they didn't feel tired after climbing the mountain road for more than ten minutes. A group of more than a dozen people whispered and slowly groped their way forward.

The mountain was filled with the faint light of the stars and the moon, accompanied by the whispering of monsters, the atmosphere was a little inexplicably tense, and the leading hunter explained where there would be which prey, and which method was the easiest and most effective to capture, and everyone listened with relish. After crawling for a while, the hunter suddenly squatted down, and signaled everyone to silence, Huang Xi and the others immediately understood, and squatted quietly with their voices, the hunter listened carefully for a while, and smiled carefully: "It must be the wild boar that ran away last night, everyone load the gun and ammunition, but don't put the muzzle of the gun at your own people, so as not to go off, the muzzle of the gun to the sky, and don't get too close to each other, otherwise it will hurt others when you fire." This boar is very cunning, very good at hiding, and very aggressive, it may not die after a few shots, if it hits, don't chase everyone, the hounds will hunt them, we just need to make sure we are safe. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and after turning on the lighting tools on their heads, the hunter said: "The eyes of the wild boar will reflect green light when they encounter the light, so everyone has a psychological preparation to shoot when they see it." ”

Everyone carefully carried shotguns, and the team of three groped forward, and after a short time, they dispersed. Not far from the top of the mountain, the terrain is relatively open, suitable for a wide range of search for prey tracks. Huang Xi took Peng Yaozu and Li Wenqiang walked farther and farther, and could only vaguely see the lights of their teammates showing their respective positions.

After searching dozens of meters away, there was a dense jungle in front of him, and there was a faint rustling sound, Huang Xi made a gesture and hid behind the trunk, Peng Yaozu and Li Wenqiang did not dare to slack off, and hid one after another. Taking advantage of the natural sky, the vision of a few meters away, Huang Xi ordered the two of them to turn off the lighting tools on their heads, and all of them were suddenly dark and silent, and the three of them waited with bated breath.

The sound was getting louder and louder, it felt like a group of wild boars in action, Huang Xi couldn't help frowning, would there be so many wild boars on this mountain? Without waiting for him to think about it, Li Wenqiang had already raised his shotgun and aimed ahead, as soon as the prey appeared, the bullet would make them leave this world with hatred. Peng Yaozu also gradually raised the head of the gun, concentrating on the front.

The last dense irrigation was stretched out, a black shadow flashed out, Li Wenqiang's hand was already on the trigger, at this time, the prey in front of him suddenly spoke out baldly, and Huang Xi shouted in fright: "Don't shoot!" ”

Unfortunately, it was too late, Li Wenqiang's shotgun sparked, the bullet burst out and exploded, countless iron sand spread out, hitting the black shadow, only to hear the man scream and fall to the ground. Li Wenqiang was stunned on the spot, why did someone suddenly appear. Before he could react, someone in front of him shouted angrily: "Prepare to fight back." ”

Huang Xi knew that something bad was wrong, and hurriedly jumped between the stones to knock down Li Wenqiang, a few fires lit up in front of him, and then a few piercing shotgun sounds rang out, and countless iron sand came overwhelmingly, grazing the top of the two people's heads, inlaid on the trunk of the tree, and splashed in the rocks. Huang Xi pressed Li Wenqiang's head and shouted loudly: "Everyone is your own, don't shoot, I misunderstood just now." ”

Hearing the sound, the other side really stopped, and asked repeatedly: "Who are you?" Why shoot? ”

Peng Yaozu preemptively said: "The friend on the other side misunderstood, we thought it was the prey that appeared, so we hit it by mistake, this is really a misunderstanding, let's see how the injured person is doing." ”

The person on the other side shouted, "We don't have any lighting tools, do you have them?" ”

Peng Yaozu cautiously jumped out, turned on the flashlight above his head, and touched the person lying on the ground, only to see that the person was lying on the ground moaning, wearing a down jacket, and he didn't see any injuries. Peng Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The shotgun in him is not seriously injured, everyone send him down the mountain quickly." ”

Huang Xi also lit the flashlight on his head, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry everyone, this time we were careless, we didn't notice that this is not a prey infest, your friend is injured, we will be responsible to the end." ”

There were four people on the opposite side, and when they saw Huang Xi's voice, a tall young man suddenly changed color and said, "It's you, Huang Xi?" ”

Huang Xi looked up at the man, and the light was also shining on him, only to see his eyes wide, and his two pupils refracted a beast-like ghostly light, and the look of the person became inexplicably nervous, Huang Xi's heart jumped in shock: "Situ Tianyang? ”

This tall young man is Situ Tianyang, the two of them are really enemies, and they actually met here, Li Wenqiang also shot and injured his person, is this an old hatred and a new hatred, either you die or I die? I only heard Situ Tianyang say coldly: "That's right, he actually came to ambush us halfway." ”

Huang Xi knew that there was no way to explain this kind of thing in this situation, so he secretly held the shotgun at the moment; "I said it was a misunderstanding, if you don't believe it, how to solve it is always with you."

When the words fell, both sides raised their shotguns and confronted each other, but they didn't dare to shoot first without the bosses of both sides speaking, Huang Xi stared at Situ Tianyang, in fact, his palms were slowly oozing sweat, not that he was afraid of Situ Tianyang, but the other party's four shotguns, he was not good at guns, no matter how he said it, he was in a weak position, and the pressure in his heart was naturally great.

Situ Tianyang also stared at Huang Xi, his eyes were narrowed into a line by the light, time passed minute by minute, neither party moved, not long after, Huang Xi heard the sound of more than ten people, saw the two sides holding guns and confronting each other, the hunter said in time: "I don't know what contradictions you have, but this is the territory of Fuqing, it is best not to have unpleasant incidents, either wait for Mr. Jiang to make the decision for you tomorrow, or wait for you to leave here to solve it, otherwise Mr. Jiang will blame it, and you will not have good fruit to eat." ”

Huang Xi remembered Ye Leicheng's instructions, he had some worries in his heart, and he calmed down, without the initial impulse, and immediately put down his shotgun and said: "I know that Mr. Jiang is a reasonable person, and it is up to him to decide the most appropriate matter, but if you want to solve it privately, I will accompany you." ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Mr. Jiang to decide." Situ Tianyang ordered people to send the injured people down the mountain first, and took a deep look at Huang Xi and the others before leaving.

Li Wenqiang was afraid for a while: "Brother Xi, am I in trouble again?" ”

Huang Xi smiled and said: "It's okay, the bigger our enmity, the better, and we don't need to take care of the situation when we go to war in the future." ”

Peng Yaozu sighed and said: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, it is destined that we can only be divided between each other. ”
