As the most important group event of the year in the middle school, Lobich Middle School, which has two junior high school and high school divisions, will hold two New Year's balls respectively.

The formality and grandeur of the first high school New Year's ball held were unimaginable to Zhang Lisheng from Huaguo.

He was surprised to find that in the last two or three days of the countdown to the ball, as if someone had suddenly pressed the knob, Robic Middle School fell into a frenzied atmosphere, and the first topic of everyone's meeting was always the New Year's ball, the New Year's ball.

The cadres of the student union put down everything at hand, and were busy decorating the auditorium, arranging the band, choosing drinks, ordering lanterns, and even summoning engineering vehicles into the school.

The most surprising thing is that the middle school students in grades 7, 8, and 9 now want to get the Christmas gift not a full A report card, but an invitation to the high school New Year's prom.

So much so that when they looked at their seniors, their eyes seemed to be flashing with ill-intentioned light.

"George, do you see that guy looking at me, it's like a robber.

Are the people in this school crazy," After receiving the report card and the invitation to the New Year's dance in plain white according to the badge, Zhang Lisheng took the two cards in his hand, and walked on the campus with George all the way through the wind and snow, "Such a cold snow can't make them sober up." ”

"That's because for those pathetic junior high school kids, the High School New Year's Ball is a 'feast' they can never reach!" replied George proudly in a condescending tone.

"They're a year or two older, three years at most, and they'll be able to do it naturally..."

"Dude, it's not a matter of age, it's tradition, they're junior high school students in front of us now, and always will be. ”

"Oh George, you should see a neurologist too. Zhang Lisheng said and quickened his pace and rushed towards his 'explorer'.

Behind him, George hurriedly shouted: "Hey Li Sheng, can you take me to the butcher shop, the wind and snow are too heavy, riding a bicycle will freeze me to death." ”

"Then keep up. ”

The two ran into the car together, Zhang Lisheng started the air conditioner first, and then his mouth began to tremble slightly.

The temperature in the carriage soon began to rise, and at the same time, a large mouth of snow suddenly caved out on the Lobic campus near the street, and a strong wind blew the snow on the ground and rushed towards the 'Explorer'.

"It's finally warm," after a sudden slight shaking, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Lisheng's mouth, and he started the car, "How is the butcher's business lately?"

If Mr. Rocky is really out of stock before Christmas, I can do me a little favor. ”

"Just let him run out of stock, man, so I can work less and get paid," George said absentmindedly, "Did you feel the car just shake a little?"

These few times I've been in your car, I've often had this shaking feeling before every drive, it's weird.

What kind of habit do you have to put down the back seats, this is a very 'groaning' habit, reminiscent, you know the 'car shock'... Or something invisible hidden in the back seat. ”

Saying that, George involuntarily turned around and touched behind him, he naturally got nothing.

"We're on our way, what madness are you doing, George!

Fasten your seatbelts and sit down, or I'll get you out of the car!" Zhang Lisheng said loudly with a straight face.

"Ok, ok Lisheng, don't be so grumpy," George sat up straight and fastened his seatbelt, "Tomorrow is the New Year's ball, how are your dance partners going?"

Do you need me to contact Hena again, Lena said she doesn't seem to have yet..."

"I've already posted an online bounty to find a dance partner. ”

"Oh God, you did!"

"yes, that's the easiest way to do it. Zhang Lisheng said blandly.

George opened his mouth, but he felt that he really had nothing to say in the face of Zhang Lisheng, whose personality was very different from that of a young man in the United States, so he could only sigh and look at the snowflakes falling outside the car window in silence.

The snow fell all night and got heavier, but the wind and snow did not stop Zhang Lisheng's footsteps, and the next day he still rushed to the slaughterhouse in Kacylan Town to feed the witch worms as usual.

When it snowed, the island dragon stayed on the roof of the car and easily showed traces, and all Zhang Lisheng summoned the witch worm into the carriage of the 'explorer' just like yesterday.

A large lizard nearly thirteen meters long is hiding in the back seat of a seven-person minivan, and even if its body is soft and light, you can imagine how crowded it will curl up.

However, because the monitor lizard has the magical ability to transform the virtual and the real, it can directly pass through the body of the car and indent into the 'explorer', so it is not difficult to do.

With less than two days to go before Christmas, the business of the slaughterhouse has completely deserted, and I stayed until the afternoon, browsing the computer, and seeing that the slaughtering orders of the 'Farmers' Federation had been completed, Zhang Lisheng paid Willy and Tiffina in advance and let them go home for the holidays.

"Sir, when are we going to work?" asked Willy before leaving.

"Two weeks from now, I think after so many animals are slaughtered before Christmas, the market should be saturated for a while, and you can go on vacation in peace. Zhang Lisheng said absent-mindedly, a little worried about his witch worm's belly in the next ten days.

"Boss, you're underestimating the amount of food in the city.

With the nationwide traffic closed for Christmas, New York City people rely on our suburban farms for meat, and in normal years, the slaughterhouses get busier than they did before Christmas after a week. Tiffina said with a smile.

"yes, you'll be working in a week's time.

Well, the first week's salary is calculated as overtime and is paid triple. ”

"Xie Lu Xie Boss, then we will go first, I wish you a Merry Christmas. Willy and Tiffina glanced at each other happily and said in unison.

"See you soon, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Zhang Lisheng said with a smile.

After the helper left, the slaughterhouse, which had been busy all night for nine days, finally deserted, Zhang Lisheng walked to the back of the workshop, found the iron cover in the snowdrift, fed the small amount of livestock entrails and blood water in the trench to the two witch insects, and muttered: "It seems that it is imminent to set up another slaughterhouse." ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously took out his mobile phone and called up the information collected on the Internet recently from several slaughterhouses near New York City that he wanted to get rid of.

"Hey man, remember when you came to my house to pick me up?

It's half past two in the afternoon, and hopefully you're on your way back to the city. ”

"Don't rush George, I'll leave right away. ”

"Oh, think of your turtle-like speed and the snow on the road, you're going to do it now..."

"I'll leave now, and I'll be at your house in two hours. Zhang Lisheng said and hung up the phone.

Looking up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, he drove the blood-eaten toad to jump into his backpack and stride towards the 'explorer'.

As soon as I got in the car and started it, the mobile phone rang again, Zhang Lisheng reluctantly connected and said: "I said that I would pick you up downstairs in two hours..."

"Li Sheng, it's me. The voice on the phone was not George, but a girl.

Hearing this familiar female voice, Zhang Lisheng said apologetically: "Oh, Tina I'm sorry, I thought it was..."

"It's your New Year's ballmate, isn't it, as a gentleman, you shouldn't have spoken to a young lady before the ball. ”

"Do you also know that Lobic Middle School held a New Year's ball today?

It's amazing, as if the New Year's Ball is more important than anything else in the minds of New York high school students.

But you misunderstood Tina, I just thought you were my friend George, and he wasn't some 'young girl', but a noisy black boy.

Okay, don't mention him, I just have something to find you.

After Christmas, I'm going to put up another slaughterhouse, and I've collected a few alternatives online, but it doesn't seem like I'm sure to pay attention..."

"I'll take care of the slaughterhouse for you, but until then, Li Sheng, I need your help. Tina hesitated on the phone and whispered.

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and had a premonition in his heart, "Listen to my friend, I owe you once, no matter what you ask, as long as it is not too excessive, I will agree."

However, there are some things that must be well thought out before they can be done.

You've experienced some lessons, recall them, and then tell me about your decision. ”

"Things are different from what you think, but it's also somewhat similar, and we'll meet after Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, friend. ”

"You too, Merry Christmas, Tina. ”

Hanging up the phone again, Zhang Lisheng drove on the road, drove in the wind and snow for more than two hours, and returned to New York City.
