Chapter 413: Keeping the New Year

Although Gao Xiang Sun Muyu wanders outside all year round on weekdays, he still has to go home for dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Yuan Qi and Peng Kuan also took leave with Xu Lai and prepared to leave Jiangning for a few days.

Although neither of them has any relatives in the world, but for the New Year's Festival, there are naturally people who want to worship, and everyone understands it.

Zhao Xiaomin had to go to her grandmother's house with her mother.

So on the day of the real Chinese New Year's Eve, only Xu Lai, Chen Duo and Zhang Yichun were left to celebrate the New Year together.

Early in the morning, before Xu Lai got up, he was woken up by the sound of a banging on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Chen Duo and Zhang Yichun standing at the door dressed in flowers.

"You're just up, hurry up and clean up!" Chen Duo urged.

"What for?" Xu Lai asked.

"Come with us to buy New Year's goods!" Chen Duo said.

"Do you need it?" Xu said. According to his meaning, there are only three people anyway, and they will be able to get by.

"How's that going to work! Hurry up! Chen Duo pushed him in.

In previous years, she was alone for the New Year, so she was not interested in buying New Year's goods or anything, but it was rare that there were more Xu Lai and Zhang Yichun this year, so she naturally had to have a good time.

Xu Lai washed up and changed his clothes, and was dragged out by them.

Speaking of which, Xu has been in Jiangning for more than half a year, and he has been to most places, but he really hasn't done much shopping, and he doesn't even know what big shopping malls are.

This time I followed the Chen Duo sisters, it was really an eye-opener.

These two women looked delicate and weak, and they were really not tired at all when they went shopping, and after walking for less than an hour, Xu Lai's hands were already full of things.

"Master, I'll carry it for you." The little girl probably thought that her master was quite pitiful and wanted to come and help.

As a result, he was pulled over by Chen Duo and said: "Carrying things is what men do, remember." ”

Zhang Yichun's dark eyes turned, and she seemed to understand something, but what Sister Duo'er said should be right, right?

"Oh." The little girl nodded, obediently took Xu Lai's hand and said, "Master, that's hard for you." ”

"It's okay, he's not hard!" Chen Duo took Zhang Yichun into the store.

Xu Lai was speechless.

By noon, he had already carried large bags and small bags in his hands, but Miss Chen had no sign of stopping.

"Landlord, you haven't bought it yet?" Xu Lai asked in the back.

"Not yet, it's early." Chen Duo said.

"Shall I send it home first?" Xu said.

Chen Duo looked back: "Ah, it's already so much?" Only then did she realize that Xu Lai could no longer spare her hands.

That's the end of it.

The three of them had a meal on the pedestrian street, and then went home.

Xu Lai carried his things into the living room and collapsed on the sofa.

"It's also a spell master, it's just weak!" Chen Duo despises.

Xu Lai really didn't want to refute, if he wanted to go shopping with a woman, he was really a master of spells.

He went into the kitchen and poured a glass of water and came out, and saw Chen Duo and Zhang Yichun sorting things, all kinds of snacks, all kinds of small items, and all kinds of clothes.

Chen Duo bought it very quickly, basically bought whatever he liked, but at the last look, many things were bought.

For example, this Spring Festival couplet, I bought eight pairs.

"You can also use it, you and I have one pair in each house, and then the other rooms 02 and 03 are also pasted." Chen Duo said.

"And what about the remaining four?" Xu Lai asked.

"You can stick it inside the house." Chen Duo thought for a long time and said.

"What's in your Spring Festival couplets in the house?" Xu Lai was speechless.

"No, I like to stick it in the house!"

"Okay, okay, where do you want to post it?"

But in the end, only four pairs were pasted, one pair was posted in each of the four houses, and the remaining four pairs were taken downstairs to give away.

"Landlord, why is there another pair?" As a result, Xu Lai turned out another pair of Spring Festival couplets in a pile of things.

"Huh? Is it? Chen Duo came over to take a look and said with a smile, "This giveaway, I look very interesting, so I took it, you can take a look." ”

Xu Lai unfolded it, and this pair was a short couplet, written with eight words: "Flowers bloom, and the breeze comes." ”

"There's the names of both of us in this, do you think it's a coincidence?" Chen Duo said with great interest.

"It's a coincidence." Xu looked at the couplet and said, "What about the horizontal batch?" ”

"Didn't you?" Chen Duo went to rummage, but he didn't find it, "Then it is estimated that there is none." ”

"Do you remember what the Spring Festival couplets look like?" Xu Lai asked.

Chen Duo recalled for a while and said, "It seems to be just an ordinary uncle, nothing special, Xiaochun, don't you say?" ”

"It's an uncle, in his fifties, and his appearance is quite ordinary." When Zhang Yichun said this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, opened the pocket of the down jacket, and a paper ball fell out of it.

Xu Lai took the paper ball and opened it, and saw that there were two emerald green and round beads inside, and the light was faint.

"That uncle slapped me on the ground, and I didn't pay attention at first." The little girl said with some trepidation.

Xu Lai smiled, handed the beads to Zhang Yichun and said, "You and Xiao Min each have these two beads." ”

Although Zhang Yichun was a little puzzled, he still put away the beads obediently.

"What is this?" Chen Duo asked.

"Good stuff." Xu Lai said with a smile, "Xiao Chun, when you and Xiao Min breathe in the future, take this bead in your mouth, understand?" ”

"Oh." Zhang Yichun nodded and wrote it down.

"It was sent by the one who sold the Spring Festival couplets? Your friend? When Chen Duo heard Xu Lai say this, he must have thought that these two beads should be rare objects related to cultivation.

"Maybe it's an elder, I can't see it even if I use the disguise technique." Xu said.

"That's it, it's all because you're lazy, you can't sit there and don't come up!" Chen Duo said.

"Eldest sister, can I carry so many things?"

"Well, you have a point!"

After the three of them rested for a while, they began to get busy, cleaning and posting.

In addition to the Spring Festival couplets, Chen Duo also bought a lot of festive small items, and after hanging them all, he put out the New Year's snacks or something, and suddenly there was a bit of a New Year's atmosphere.

"Whatever you want to eat at night, I'll go grocery shopping." Xu said.

"No need, sister has a treat at night, take you to be chic!" Chen Duo said that she had already booked the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in advance.

"Landlord tyrant!" Xu Lai gave a thumbs up.

"Sister Duo'er, a local tyrant!" Zhang Yichun also followed.

"Well, that's it once a year." Chen Duo said boldly.

In previous years, even if she wanted to go out for a good meal, she couldn't help it, she couldn't go to order a table of dishes by herself, and she would be embarrassed to death.

This year is finally good, and with three people together, they can eat and drink justifiably.

At six o'clock in the evening, the three of them passed the restaurant.

Chen Duo also booked a private room, and after a while, the dishes came up one after another.

"Landlord, are you really rich?" Xu Lai and Zhang Yichun were dumbfounded.

The dish was like water, and soon a large table was set up.

"Come on, come on, I'm going to have some wine in the evening!" Chen Duo ordered half a dozen beers to come up.

"Can you do it?" Xu said.

"I'm amazing!" Chen Duo is full of confidence.

Zhang Yichun, the little girl, naturally drank juice, and when she saw the two of them scolding each other, she couldn't help but bury her head and snicker.

It's the first time she has eaten such a reunion dinner when she has grown up, and the family is happy, which is really an experience that she has never had.

Although Chen Duo said it very well, his face was already red when he was in his stomach with a bottle of beer.

"Sugar Candy, where are you?" Halfway through eating, Chen Duo and Tang Tang were on video.

"I ran out, the signal is better here." Tang Tang sat on the stone steps and greeted the three of them.

"How many days did Zhang Long have a meeting this year?" Xu Lai asked with a smile.

"Five days, more annoying than you." Tang Tang said.

Chen Duo sweated for a moment, and sure enough, their Dragon and Tiger Courtyard was only open for one day, which was already much better.

Next, there were two women muttering, not knowing what they were talking about.

Xu Lai and Zhang Yichun touched the cup and talked there.

But later, Zhao Xiaomin called the video to find Zhang Yichun, and the two little girls chattered again, so only Xu Lai was left to eat there.

This meal lasted until half past nine, and when he came out, Chen Duo was already shaking when he walked, and was helped by Zhang Yichun.

The place to eat was not far from Zijinyuan, and the three of them walked back on the road.

"It's such a beautiful artillery battle, let's go back and put it back!" Chen Duo pointed to the fireworks blooming in the night sky and shouted.

"Go back and put it back on." Xu Lai and Zhang Yichun dragged and coaxed, and finally brought Miss Chen home smoothly.
