Foreign Monks (40)

In the past few days, time has passed very quickly, drinking tea with Old Man Xue every day, walking with Old Mrs. Xue, those children of the Xue family did not expect it, gave them too much trouble, but looked flattering.

Not muchFor Qiu Kite, the biggest gain is the time spent with Xue Kewen in the gym, even if he doesn't say a word, just watching him play ball with others is extremely satisfying.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, the last day of the year.

The Xue family manor has long been very lively, even if it is snowing heavily today, but the warm atmosphere here has not weakened at all. Those busy maids have been hanging festive couplet lanterns for the past two days.

Many young people also led a group of children to build snowmen, roll snowballs, and have snowball fights. Xue Keer and Qiu Yuan also played sexually and joined in. Their laughter and laughter made Old Man Xue and the old lady particularly fond of it, and they were full of smiles every day, and even the wrinkles on their faces were much less.

"Brother Kewen, why don't you go out for a walk, this kind of gift from heaven and earth is the most inspiring scenery! It's not that art comes from life, it's higher than life! ”

After Xue Kewen, who is a bit of a literary fan, got acquainted with each other, he was not so cold, and there was not much difference in age, Xiao Tao politely had a somewhat literary title, and the two could talk together better than others.

"No, just watch it here!"

Glancing at the direction of Xue Ke'er and Qiu Kite, Xue Kewen's eyes showed a somewhat complicated look, but he concealed it very well, taking advantage of the shaking of the wine glass in his hand, he took his eyes aside.

Xiao Tao naturally saw the strangeness in his eyes, but there was no need to break it. The two talked about the past and the present, from poetry and songs, to rock and folk music, and the topic has not decreased. It wasn't until it was almost noon that the butler came to call them for lunch, and they stopped talking about the topic with some unfinished business.

After lunch, the afternoon was spent as usual, in a burst of laughter. By the time night fell, the freshly cleared ground in the manor was covered with a thin layer of snow.

"Hehe, Ruixue Zhaofeng year! It looks like next year will be a good harvest year, everyone, let's raise a glass together! ”

Old Man Xue looked at the dozens of people sitting at several large tables, his face was full of kind smiles, he got up and raised the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly to the people here.

"Cheers!" "To Old Man Xue!" "To Old Lady Xue!"

The crowd burst into a lively commotion, and they all raised their glasses to the old man Xue and the two at the main table, toasting the wine in the glass. Xiao Tao and Xue Keer, as young people of the children and grandchildren, sat at the main table this time without exception, but they were also lively with several other cousins of the same generation, talking politely between each other.

Bang bang bang! Cracking sound! ——

The familiar sound of firecrackers in the manor lasted for nearly half an hour before stopping. The nine tables were filled with men and women who were related to the Xue family, and a large plate of neatly arranged dumplings in the center of each table made this Chinese New Year's Eve in a foreign country look full of flavor.

The beginning of the Spring Festival Gala attracted the attention of most people. Fortunately, the TV screen is big enough, and a projector is turned on, so that everyone can see this strong hometown flavor and a big festival for Chinese people around the world without turning around.

Old man Xue and the old lady were old after all, and when the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was about the same, they got up and left and went back to rest. After they left, others began to leave, mostly people with foreign faces. These people also rushed back to rest because of their busyness in the past few days. There were also some people who were going to watch the replay tomorrow, and after saying goodbye to the others at the table, they went back to rest.

Most of the people left behind were energetic young men and women like Xiao Tao. There are also people who are used to staying up late, and they also watch the TV programs with relish. However, there are also many people, while eating snacks and fruits on the table, while getting together in twos and threes, playing cards, board games and other more fashionable games.

The attention of those who held out to the end was no longer on the TV screen. Xiao Tao looked at Xue Ke'er, who was yawning next to him, and also found an opportunity, took her away after saying goodbye, and went back to rest. Qiu Yuan and Xue Kewen also went back to rest not long ago, they were not used to the scene of shouting here, and they preferred a quieter environment in comparison.

The next day, Xiao Tao, who set the alarm clock, got up early in the morning and woke up Xue Keer, who was sleeping in the same suite last night. After the two of them washed, Xue Ke'er didn't dress up much, put on the new clothes that had been prepared for the New Year, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Tao and trotted downstairs.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa! Kerr has a New Year's greeting for you! I wish you good health and a long life! ”

Begging for the New Year's money, Xiao Tao said a blessing respectfully, bowed to Old Man Xue with Xue Ke'er, watched the wrinkles on the old man's face stretch a lot in an instant, said a few hellos happily, took out two thick red envelopes from the pocket of the red Tang jacket, and handed them to the two.

Xiao Tao originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Old Man Xue showed a little displeasure on his face, he also accepted it cheekily, and gave it to Xue Ke'er after going out, and then was pulled by her again and ran towards the door.

"Happy New Year, Grandma! Kerr has a New Year's greeting for you! I wish you happiness such as the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than the old pine of Nanshan! ”

Xue Ke'er found Mrs. Xue at the door surrounded by a group of children, and the sweet words of blessing made the old lady's face full of joy, and she looked as if she was several years younger. took out a thick red envelope from his pocket, stuffed it into Xue Ke'er's hand, and then was pulled by the group of children and walked towards the snowman that had been built.

"What a bumper harvest! It's a pity that it's all Grandpa Mao, otherwise there would have been a month's company performance! ”

The two of them returned to their room after taking breakfast from the kitchen, eating steaming dumplings on the table while watching TV. Xue Keer looked like a fan of money, counting the benefits in the three red envelopes, and said to Xiao Tao happily.

"Brother Tao, it's the New Year, have you prepared a red envelope for your little baby!"

Xue Ke'er looked well-behaved and sensible, half of her body was lying on Xiao Tao's back, her voice was sweet and a little tired, and her tone was coquettish.

The breath of exhalation like an orchid made Xiao Tao's neck a little itchy. The boy who took a long breath hugged the lover behind him in his arms, and then took out a red envelope that had been prepared from the pocket of his shirt and handed it to Xue Keer, who had a light in his eyes.

"Wow, that's so thick! Brother Tao is the best, reward you! ”

Xue Ke'er's soft cherry lips were imprinted on Xiao Tao's mouth while he was still eating dumplings, making Xue Kewen, who was about to come in at the door, stand there a little embarrassed. Just wanted to leave, but saw Qiu Kite, who had already come to the door, looked at her with a complicated expression, then lowered his head, coughed, and walked into the room.

"I hate it, second brother, why don't you knock on the door before entering!"

Xue Ke'er, who was a little embarrassed, was full of shame, looked at Xue Kewen with some indignation, and shook his little fist, which was not threatening.

"Besides, why don't you close the door?"
