Chapter Twenty-Eight: The New Year

"Isn't this a baby of evil?"

"Yes, I heard that I disappeared into the Night Forest for almost four months, and I didn't even get bitten to death by a wild beast."

"It's okay, she won't be able to jump for a few days, the tenth day of the first month is the day of the selection of the Xingyue Sect, I don't think she can pass the selection and how she will die when the time comes."

"I haven't seen it, she can stay in the Dark Night Forest for half a year and be safe and sound, maybe she can really be accepted by the Star Moon Sect!"

"You just put your heart in your stomach, I have already received news that one of the main examinees this time is the eldest son of the Wang family, but this evil baby has offended the youngest son of their family, then Wang Mang has already released his words, as long as the evil baby dares to participate, let her die in the selection of the Xingyue Sect!"

"Mom, then this evil baby is really a scourge, isn't it even the people in the Star Moon Sect who have been offended!"

"Who's to say it's not......"

Jin Xiuyang was so eager to return home that he had no time to take care of these people who chewed the roots, so he kicked open the door of his house with his roast legs.

"Daddy! Look what I've brought back."

"Poof", the gate fell to the ground in response, Zhao Yuanying and Ding Sangu hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, they didn't see each other for half a year, a lot of white hair had appeared on the top of the second child's head, they even forgot the fallen gate, their eyes stared at the person in front of them who thought about it day and night, everything seemed to be still in last night's dream, tears were fighting in their eyes, and their lips were trembling and they couldn't understand the words.

"Xiuyang... Old man, it's Xiuyang! It's our Xiuyang who is back! Ding Sangu burst into tears, she dragged Zhao Yuanying, pinched her thigh, felt the pain, and the person who was almost fifty years old jumped up on the spot, excited like a child, she couldn't control her thoughts anymore, and hugged Jin Xiuyang in her arms and burst into tears.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled all over the courtyard, and the light reflected on the snow in front of the door entered his eyes, making Zhao Yuanying's eyes red, and he was stunned for a while with his back against the door frame of the main hall, and he only kept chanting: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back alive......"

Jin Xiuyang's nose is sour, how many days and nights have she never felt this warm feeling, how many days and nights have she fallen asleep alone with tears, and how many days and nights have her life hanging by a thread? Isn't it just to pass the selection of the Xingyue Sect, not to travel far for the sake of my father, and to enjoy my old age for my mother?

Jin Xiuyang also cried, she cried very loudly, it seemed that all the grievances and dangers in the past six months were worth it! In Ding Sangu's arms, he is not a devil who kills ten thousand horses, and she is not a strongman who kills a first-order consummate demon beast, she is just a child, a little girl who has just turned twelve.

At this moment, Jin Xiuyang took off her guard, although her tears burst the embankment, she was very relaxed and happy. Unknowingly, she fell asleep on Ding Sangu's shoulder, which was the most restful sleep she had.

When she woke up again, it was already dark, firecrackers were ringing outside the window, and the two elders in the window were wrapping dumplings with joy, it seemed that both of them were a few years younger, how happy this scene was! But when she thought that the selection of the Xingyue Sect was approaching, no matter whether she passed the assessment or not, she would no longer be able to accompany the second elder in front of her, and she felt a faint pain in her heart, it was very likely that this would be the last year that their family of three would be together!

"Mother, I also want to learn how to make dumplings!" Jin Xiuyang suppressed the sadness in her heart, poked out a small head from the bed, her two big eyes kept turning, and she saw the latter beckoning, and happily hugged Ding Sangu from behind.

"Don't be naughty, you won't be able to catch the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in a while!" Ding Sangu patted the latter's little hand, and the smile on her face never disappeared.

Jin Xiuyang stuck out his tongue, picked up the dough on the table, and picked up the meat filling, putting the dough together, but he couldn't wrap the meat filling.

"Oh boy, you put too much stuffing, my mother will teach you!"

Jin Xiuyang's small hand was held by the big hand, feeling the roughness coming from the back of the hand, and the indescribable sadness in his heart.

"Look, it's wrapped!" Ding Sangu pointed to the dumpling in her hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you, mother!" Tears rolled in Jin Xiuyang's eyes and said solemnly, she knew that although Ding Sangu was only an adoptive mother, she gave everything for her, and at the same time suffered a lot silently, but she has always been stubborn and has never said thank you.

Ding Sangu couldn't help but be stunned: "Silly boy, thank you to your mother." Let's not cry during the New Year! As he spoke, he put down the dough in his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes for the latter, the white face stuck to Jin Xiuyang's face, and suddenly laughed: "Look, our Xiuyang has become a little flower cat!" ”

Seeing her laughing Jin Xiuyang wiped away her tears, she also laughed out loud unexpectedly, and picked up the noodles on the table: "Mother, why are your dumplings standing, but mine is lying down!" ”

"Silly boy, there's less stuffing!"

......

At the dinner table, Jin Xiuyang also brought the roast leg of the person to the table, and Zhao Yuanying couldn't help asking: "Child, what kind of animal's leg is this, it's so big!" ”

"This is the big ......" Jin Xiuyang was afraid that the name of the mighty snow ape would scare the two, so he changed his words directly, "Yes, the legs of the big mountain cannon!" ”

"Mountain artillery? How come I haven't heard of it! This name made Zhao Yuanying very puzzled, took a sip of wine, made a "sihaha" sound, and hurriedly tore off a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.

"Dad, the Great Mountain Cannon is a hybrid beast, and there is definitely no Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Scripture in our town! But it's definitely a delicacy on earth, how do you feel? Jin Xiuyang recalled the scene of being repeatedly tricked by the strong snow ape, and indignantly gave it this new name, but he didn't know if the strong snow ape was brought to the table under Jiuquan, and was said to be a mongrel by the culprit, would he die again in anger.

Zhao Yuanying chewed the meat in his mouth and nodded: "Well, it's very chewy, it's indeed much better than the pigs raised at home!" ”

"Yes, Dad, you are trying the dumplings I made, this one I made, and this one too!" In a blink of an eye, the latter's bowl was piled up, and he turned to look at Ding Sangu again: "Mother, you can eat too!" As he spoke, he filled a bowl for Ding Sangu.

A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner gave the second elder a full burp, and Jin Xiuyang ran out of the yard to watch the fireworks with satisfaction. At this moment, the voices of Cheng Kui and a few people came from the door, and suddenly saw this strange and familiar figure, and asked tentatively.

"Xiuyang? Are you Xiuyang? ”

"Who else could I have? Is there still a girl as beautiful as me in Eight Immortals Town? Jin Xiuyang was in a good mood, and walked towards a few people with his little hands on his back.

"Nima, they've grown so big!" Cheng Kui saw Jin Xiuyang clearly, and couldn't help but flush with emotion.

"Boss, when did you get so dirty?" The thin monkey hurriedly rushed to the front of everyone from behind, looked at Jin Xiuyang all over, and couldn't help muttering: "It's not big!" ”
