Hao Ren took out the box of fruit and put it on the table, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the family, even the half-dead Becky, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, was already decadent. I saw that those golden fruits emitted a faint golden halo in the air, and the light drifted out like mist to the surroundings, this incredible brilliance that defied common sense was enough to show that they were not vulgar things. Lily reacted the fastest to something delicious, and immediately grabbed one and put it under her nose and sniffed vigorously: "What is this?" Apple? How is this color? ”

"This is my year-end bonus - although it is classified as a category with rice, flour, grain and oil, I think this is the most valuable thing I got back this time," Hao Ren explained the origin of the golden apple with a smile and a smile, and then mentioned something else, "Oh yes, there is also a couplet...... But the couplet can be put aside for now. Let's divide these apples, according to the raven, at least they can give you a few years of Taoism......"

Lily immediately frowned: "What do you mean by Dao Xing, we are not monsters - aliens and monsters are not the same race, we are not cultivated." ”

Immediately everyone around looked at her, and Vivien poked Lily's head: "You're not qualified to talk about this here!" Don't forget you're a husky! ”

Hao Ren saw that the two were about to quarrel again, and hurriedly divided the apples to divert everyone's attention. This small box of fruits said more or less, after dividing it into two for each person, and one more, he threw his own golden apple into the carry-on space, and the other was gnawed in his hand, while grabbing the extra apple and wandering around to see who was suitable. As he was strolling, he suddenly saw Doudou munching on the table next to him.

"Eh—why is this kid biting furniture again?" Hao Ren hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the little mermaid, and then suddenly had an idea to put the remaining apple in front of the little one. "Girl, do you want to eat this?"

Vivien was like a lady and took a small bite of an apple. Hearing this, he raised his head and reminded: "Don't you know that this kid only eats wood fiber?" ”

But as soon as Vivien's words fell, Hao Ren saw Doudou curiously looking around the golden fruit, and then smashed his head on the skin of the apple - in fact, the little guy wanted to try to take a bite, but the fruit was so smooth that she couldn't even get off her mouth, so she could only smash it with her face.

Doudou smashed his face several times but didn't bite anything, so he had to raise his head to look at Hao Ren, and shouted while slapping his tail hard: "Dad! I want this! ”

Hao Ren was suddenly surprised: he didn't expect the little guy to be really interested in golden apples, and he had tested the recipe of Doudou with ordinary fruits. The latter are unmoved, so it is certainly not the aroma of apples that attracts the little ones. I'm afraid there are some special things about golden apples that can have an impact on Doudou.

Anyway, it's a good thing that Doudou likes to eat it, and Hao Ren immediately cut a few small pieces of flesh from the apple and sent them to the little mermaid - it was enough for her to eat. In the end, there was still half an apple left, and he looked up just in time to see "Roll" passing by the door, and immediately beckoned to the stupid cat: "Get out!" I'm going to give you something to eat......"

A moment later, Hao Ren was lying comfortably on the sofa watching TV, feeling as if he had lived the life of a fairy-like nouveau riche: the treasures of heaven and earth that only exist in myths and stories were received by box to him, and the golden apples were all in his hands, and even his own cats could get most of them. Seeing "Roll" snoring comfortably at his feet, he suddenly thought: "How do you think Herperis would feel if she saw us like this......

Vivien was sorting New Year's goods next to her, and she didn't raise her head when she heard the words: "What can you think, the fruit tree of Zeus's family back then was not the same thing that we ate." I've eaten Zeus's golden apples, and they're sour, but they were really good back then. ”

Hao Ren looked up at Lily, who was holding the last apple and meditating on a psychological struggle: "What is the effect of eating it?" ”

"I didn't eat enough." Lily replied honestly, "I want to eat another one...... But reluctantly. ”

"It's really a meal!" Vivien glared at Lily. "This thing is a divine product, save it. I have nothing to do, come and help me pick leeks. I'll make the stuffing tonight, let's make dumplings tomorrow and prepare for the New Year! By the way, the big one, you can also help and replace the gas canister......"

"Chinese New Year, ......" Hao Ren couldn't help but move in his heart after hearing this word, and his thoughts suddenly drifted away.

How long has it been since he has tasted this word, how many years he has lived alone, so that he has almost forgotten what it feels like to celebrate the New Year, especially in the past two or three years, the word "Spring Festival" has even been simplified to a noisy firecracker and a boring TV program in his impression, and he can't even remember whether he had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner when he celebrated the New Year last year!

Hao Ren couldn't help but look up at the living room, there was a noisy husky, a vampire with an unforgiving mouth but a gentle personality, a kraken humming messy lyrics, a big demon walking out with a gas canister with a little finger, Betsy watching TV on the sofa next to her, a mermaid who was chirping on her arm, and four dervish monks from another world who were challenging the wilderness to survive behind the house......

and the stupid cat with a heartless eye at his feet.

Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more satisfied than ever. Perhaps in previous years, his big house was full of tenants, but over the years, no tenant has been like these strange creatures in front of him: these strange creatures that are not ordinary people, or even human beings at all, have lived here without any sense of strangeness from the beginning, they are noisy, unconventional, and live like their own home, and finally this big house that has never seen the taste of "home" has a certain heat.

"What do you think?" Vivien looked up and saw Hao Ren looking at her, her face was inexplicably a little weird, "A lewd face. Trivial ......"

Hao Ren grinned: "It's so good for the New Year." ”

Vivian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, it's good to celebrate the New Year, especially this year...... I don't seem to have looked forward to a festival like today in my life, and for the first time in my life, it feels quite fresh to celebrate the New Year with so many people. Although having a big dog next to me is a little unpleasant. ”

"Did I provoke you again?" Lily poked Vivien's nose with a leek stick, and although her tone was fierce, the movement of her hand was a joke that only old friends who had been through a lot of things could joke, "I'm not happy to spend the New Year with a bat." But this year is really lively, much better than last year - I spent time in Daxinganling last year, I didn't even have any acquaintances around, and after eating and drinking, I slept in the rental house all day, and when I woke up, it was already the second day of the Lunar New Year......"

Nangong May couldn't help but join the topic: "Me too, I've spent so many years alone, and I was lying in a small hotel next to the train station during the Spring Festival last year and listened to the artillery battle all night......"

"Okay, you're all right," Vivian pouted, "I lived in a cave in Shennongjia this time last year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was a mouse. ”

Hao Ren's tears were about to fall when he heard this: Vivian's life before coming here was simply a bitter drama with more than 10,000 episodes, and any two clips were enough to compete for the top three in the talent show. Thankfully, the unfortunate vampire's days are over.

Betsy looked up from the couch: "I don't know what you're talking about...... But this festival seems to be quite important? ”

"Well, it's very important, at least it's important to the people on our side," Hao Ren glanced at Betsy and smiled slightly, "It's a day of family reunion." Although there are people in this room from all over the world, but people, it is always lively when they get together, this principle is still universal, and you should think of it as a festival that can be lively. ”

Betsy's eyes flickered a few times, and she was suddenly a little depressed: "It's lively...... I still miss those mercenary guys in my hometown, I didn't have time to say hello to them last time I went back, I guess they all thought I died in some ruins. Say okay, you have to do your best to find the stable door, and I have to go back to report safety. ”

Betsy's words suddenly touched the hearts of other people, and Nangong May also sighed: "My brother too, I don't know which ancient castle is still lurking in the New Year, so can't I come back for two days." I really can't come back...... It's okay to give me a call. ”

"I don't know what Hethiana is up to," Vivien frowned, "I never thought about it when I was floating around, but now I'm settled...... I don't think I've had a proper holiday with her. I can't even remember her birthday. ”

"The Athens shelter must be inseparable from people, and Nangong 38 can't be contacted at half a meeting," Hao Ren sat up, "Anyway, I'm afraid it's too late this year, but you gave me a reminder, next year, next year, we must gather everyone together and have a lively time." ”

The next day, with the first firecracker exploding in front of Hao Ren's house, a red light exploded, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new! (To be continued......)
