Before you know it, Christmas Eve has arrived.

As a southern city, Shencheng began to float snowflakes in the sky, and although the white snow petals melted on the ground, there was still a thin layer of fine snow on the roofs and treetops.

Towards the end of the evening, the Glory Club is filled with festive warmth.

A Christmas tree more than two meters high was erected in the center of the hall, everyone was busy, everyone was wearing a red Santa hat on their heads, Ye Lan, Long Aotian and others were hanging decorations on the Christmas tree. Brother Yao and Liu Chuanfeng set up a ladder and pulled up a few strings of colored lanterns on the roof.

The elder brother sat on the table in the center, holding a bell in his hand, shaking it over and over again and singing loudly:

Single-boy，

single-boy，

single-all-the-way，

having-party-together，turning-into-gay！

hey！

Su Can looked up next to him and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, you are so talented, you can even sing English songs, what do these lyrics mean?" ”

The master brother glanced at Su Can and sang in Chinese: "Bachelor, bachelor, bachelor, always bachelor, everyone come together to party, become gay, hi!" ”

Kohlrabi shook her head and sighed, "What a waste of things, what a Christmas song you sang as a bachelor's song." ”

The senior brother said angrily: "No way, I dedicated my best youth to the e-sports career, and now the years have passed, and I have become famous before I succeed, I feel bitter!" ”

Brother Yao comforted him and said, "Senior brother, don't be too pessimistic, you are only 24 years old, and it is normal to not have a girlfriend at this age." ”

The kohlrabi helped: "That's it, the 34-year-old Brother Yao hasn't talked about marriage, what are you anxious about!" ”

"You stinky boy, I don't talk about friends or not!" Brother Yao laughed and scolded and threw the ribbon in his hand on the head of the kohlrabi.

The kohlrabi picked it up and threw it back with a grin, but it missed and smashed on Huang Mao, who was helping.

Huang Mao picked it up and threw it up without looking back, Hou Ye caught it, and like kicking a shuttlecock, he raised a kick and kicked at Liu Chuanfeng......

For a while, the ribbons fluttered in the club, and everyone laughed and laughed.

Once everything was in order, everyone stood in the center of the hall and looked around at the newly decorated hall.

The elder brother said with some emotion: "This is the festival that I have had the most like a festival in the past few years. ”

Brother Yao sighed: "This year, our Glory Club is turbulent, the old players are gone, the retired are retired, and the personnel has changed so much, fortunately, we have welcomed a lot of new partners!" The addition of Ye Lan made us feel the warmth and sunshine in glory, making us more like a big family; The addition of Liu Chuanfeng gives us the strength to impact the championship; There are also Long Aotian, Huang Mao, and Hou Ye...... You are the ones who have brought the club back to life and I would like to thank you very much! ”

As Rong Yao spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone.

Senior Brother hurriedly said: "Brother Yao, Brother Yao, you don't need so many courtesies, just give each person 2,000 yuan." ”

Brother Yao bared his teeth and said: "Don't always have money, talking about money hurts feelings!" I'm finally brewing some emotions, and if you mess it up, you can't say something human? ”

The senior brother scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hmm...... Brother Yao, since you are so sincere, then I will also say something from the bottom of my heart - you have thanked you so much, in fact, you are the soul of the Glory Club, and it is you who bring everyone together. Although we don't usually say it, but in our hearts, we all regard you as a big brother and a parent. ”

"That's pretty much it!" Rong Yao stroked his chest with satisfaction and said loudly, "Is the turkey ready?" I'm hungry! ”

Everyone was surprised: "Huh? And turkey? Brother Yao really made a lot of money today! ”

Ye Lan said with a smile: "There is no turkey, but we have a real top chicken!" ”

Immediately, there was an undisguised look of disappointment on everyone's faces.

The senior brother sighed: "Eat chicken again? I eat chicken every day, and I'm tired of eating it! Can you bring me something else? I miss eating bran now! ”

Ye Lan said: "Don't talk nonsense, our chickens today are different from before!" ”

"What's the difference, do you have three legs?"

"Today's real top chicken, is Long Aotian with a family heirloom recipe after nine hundred and eighty-one processes carefully secret, it is said that only people with fate in the world are eligible to enjoy such a whole chicken feast!" Ye Lan blinked mischievously.

However, Long Aotian was a little embarrassed by her praise, and said again and again: "It's average, whether it's good or not, let's try it and see again." ”

Kohlrabi said suspiciously: "I've only heard of a full Han banquet, and I've never heard of a full chicken banquet!" ”

The senior brother snorted and said, "I haven't heard of the whole chicken banquet, but my name is Huaji!" ”

"Hey, the senior brother is still in the beggar gang?" Brother Yao asked curiously.

The senior brother said disdainfully: "Hmph, if a talented person like me wants to be a chicken, does he still need to go to the beggars?" It's a natural thing!

Back then, I stole the old hen of Aunt Wang next door with Lao Li next door, wrapped the chicken whole with mud and buried it in the ground and burned it with waste straw for half a day, and when the mud outside was roasted thoroughly, the chicken was pulled out, the mud was slapped away, and the chicken skin and hair fell off naturally, leaving only the brown tender meat inside, without adding any condiments, not to mention how fragrant! It's a lot of fun when I think about it now. ”

The senior brother shook his head a little sadly, as if he was still reminiscing about the good times that had passed.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from the door: "Is anyone home?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a girl with a ponytail jumped in.

"Huh, Sister Tingting?" Suddenly seeing Ma Tingting appear, Liu Chuanfeng looked surprised.

"Hey, Liu Chuanfeng, meet again, do you welcome me?" Ma Tingting looked at Liu Chuanfeng and beckoned, smiling like a flower.

At this time, a gray-haired middle-aged man also walked in with a smile - it was Ma Zi, who he hadn't seen for many days.

"Hey, rare guest, please come in!" Brother Yao hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle, you're here too! Come in, it's cold outside. Liu Chuanfeng let the two in, the Ma father and daughter were both wearing thick down jackets, and there were unmelted snowflakes floating on their heads.

"Today is Christmas Eve, a customer sent me a few boxes of apples, and it just so happened that Tingting was always clamoring to come to see you, so we took this opportunity to drive over." Ma Zi said happily.

"Dad, what nonsense are you, it's obvious that you are worried about Liu Chuanfeng and want to come by yourself! I'm the one who accompanies you, okay! Ma Tingting said angrily.

Liu Chuanfeng saw that Ma Tingting's face was a little shy, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I haven't seen you since the last relegation match." We mentioned you a few days ago, and Brother Yao kept saying that he wanted to invite you to visit. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you Brother Ma for bringing Liu Chuanfeng into our glory, Liu Chuanfeng is a maxima, you are Bole." Brother Yao said with a smile.

Ma Zi smiled and said: "Where and where, I am also happy to see Ah Feng having a happy time with you!" Actually, I've passed by your neighborhood several times, but I didn't come in because I thought you might be training and I was afraid of disturbing you. ”

"Where, as long as Uncle Ma is happy, welcome to come at any time - Miss Ma, formally introduce, I am Ma Liangchen." The senior brother smiled and stretched out his hand to Ma Tingting.

Ma Tingting held his hand and squeezed it gently, and said seriously: "I know, you are the senior brother, you are the oldest and the oldest in the Glory Club, right?" I've heard you're bad-tempered! Let me tell you, you are not allowed to bully Liu Chuanfeng! Otherwise, our sister support group will not agree! ”

The senior brother was stunned for a moment, and his face was extremely embarrassed. He sneered and didn't know how to respond.

Ma Zi hurriedly said, "Senior brother, don't take it to heart, she was joking." This girl is used to being arrogant at home, no big or small! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I know, I know." The elder brother laughed dryly.

Ma Zi said to Liu Chuanfeng: "By the way, Ah Feng, you come and help me move those boxes of apples in." ”

Liu Chuanfeng nodded and followed Huang Mao out.

"Uncle, leave this kind of rough work to us, you don't have to do it yourself!" The enthusiastic Hou Ye couldn't help but jump out.

"Hey, wait, I'll help you too." Ma Tingting also ran out in a hurry.

The kohlrabi stabbed the senior brother and said in a low voice, "Shall we also go out to help?" ”

The senior brother didn't react, staring at his hand in a daze, and muttered softly in his mouth: "Her hands are so soft and fragrant." ”

Ye Lan shook his head, this senior brother is afraid that when he sees Ma Tingting, he is afraid that he will become a nymphomaniac.

Kohlrabi took out a napkin from the table and put it on the senior brother's hand, and said solemnly: "Don't wash this hand, cover it well, don't leak air." After that, I went out to help.

After a while, the group moved a few boxes of apples into the hall.

Brother Yao smiled and said, "Oh, that's so polite, send so many big apples!" Haven't eaten yet, have you? We'll eat it later! ”

Ma nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't bother, you can rub it!" ”

Brother Yao said: "Where is it, Mr. Ma is willing to appreciate the light, that is our honor!" Long Aotian, don't stand, hurry up and serve! I heard the oven go off just now. ”

Long Aotian hurriedly went into the kitchen with Ye Lan, and after a while, plates of fragrant roast chicken were brought out, as well as secret Orleans chicken wings, chicken liver with sauce, pickled pepper chicken feet, mashed potatoes, and French fries...... A dazzling array of tables was set up, and it was indeed a huge all-chicken feast.

Brother Yao pushed the roast chicken, which looked the fattest and brightest in color, to Ma Zi, "Come, Mr. Ma will taste it first." ”

"Then you're welcome!"

Ma Zizi said with a smile, broke a chicken leg and chewed it, and gave a thumbs up: "Well, it's really good!" ”

The senior brother diligently tore a chicken leg and handed it to Ma Tingting, who shook her head with a smile: "I've been losing weight recently, and I don't eat greasy things." ”

"Wow, you're in such a good shape and still losing weight?" The senior brother praised insincerely. As he spoke, he put the chicken leg to his mouth and took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Well, yes, yes! Delicious! Long Aotian, you have this ability, why didn't you play it before? ”

Long Aotian said shyly: "It takes more than ten hours for this fragrant chicken to be marinated with ingredients, plus smoking and roasting, at least it takes a day of busy work to produce the flavor." ”

Ye Lan patted Long Aotian on the shoulder and praised: "People have been busy since 5 o'clock in the morning, and they have been busy until now, so you don't want to thank you." ”

Senior Brother hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Long Aotian, I, Ma Liangchen, wish you a blessed life and Tianqi!" ”

Long Aotian was so frightened that he waved his hand and said, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it!" Senior brother is too polite. ”

Everyone laughed, and Brother Yao also tore a chicken wing and gnawed it in his mouth, and did not forget to greet everyone: "Hurry up and eat quickly, you're welcome, it's cold and tasteless." ”

While everyone was eating happily, a crisp bell suddenly rang.

"Hey, who's ringing? Where is the sound coming from? ”

"I don't know, this ringtone is very unfamiliar."

The ringtone became louder and louder, and everyone looked at each other, and suddenly Liu Chuanfeng muttered, "It seems to be my phone." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to his desk and pulled out a mobile phone from under a pile of books.

This mobile phone was given to him by Ma himself, he only told a few people the number, he hadn't used it much before, and he didn't even have advertisements and harassing text messages, so this ringtone was very unfamiliar.

Liu Chuanfeng looked at the caller ID, it was Brother Hai's phone number, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Brother Hai, happy holidays."

What was said on the other side of the phone, Liu Chuanfeng frowned, and after a while, he silently put down the phone and looked at everyone blankly: "My mother has entered the intensive care unit." ”
