Views:

February 19, 2027, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It should be consecrated, lifted, erected, and beamed; it is forbidden to enter the house, move, sacrifice, and marry.

On the first day of the new year, which is the first day of the new year, Xiao Nanzhu, who had officially passed the probationary period of Master Huang Li, was walking to Situ Zhang's house with some fruit gift boxes.

From today onwards, he is officially on duty. A few days ago, he took advantage of his spare time to thoroughly familiarize himself with his work environment. Although the personalities of the celestial beings are different, they are generally compatible. Now it's a new year, and Xiao Nanzhu also wants to live a new life in this brand new year, but he was unlucky early in the morning.

Before, he promised Fa Xiao Situ Zhang that he must go to his house for a meal during the New Year, so even though he was too lazy to move at all, he still went out. He woke up early in the morning before dawn, but the bed in this winter was really tempting, and just when he finally got ready to get up with mental construction, Xiao Nanzhu suddenly felt something moving. There was a rustling sound at the door of the room.

In the dimly lit room, a red shadow with a cat on his waist sneaked in. The sleepy Xiao Nanzhu narrowed his eyes and watched the man climb all the way to his bedside, thinking that this should be the calendar of work today. , so it didn't matter. The intense sleepiness prompted Xiao Nanzhu, who was usually vigilant, to relax subconsciously, but because of this rare negligence, he watched the shadow quickly stretch out his small hand, followed by a series of crackling two kicks. Tucked into his bed.

Xiao Nanzhu: "..."

The quilt that exploded at that moment shocked Xiao Nanzhu's whole body. He fell off the bed with the quilt and the expression on his face was a little dazed. The culprit was in a good mood, because seeing Xiao Nanzhu being so frightened by his prank, he was already rolling on the ground happily, which had to make Xiao Nanzhu's face a little ugly, and when he was on the ground from the ground After he got up with a gloomy face, he didn't care that the little boy kept yelling that he was the Spring Festival, a god, and electricity was a far-off myth. Without saying a word, he dressed up like a red envelope The little guy was pressed to the ground and cleaned up.

During this process, Spring Festival Jun, who was wearing a bright red jacket, embroidered gold bloomers, and a red mole between his eyebrows, was still annoyed and scolded loudly at first, but when Xiao Nanzhu coldly searched his trousers pocket for two After throwing a firecracker and intending to light it and stuff it into his crotch, the heartless Li Shen didn't dare to speak anymore, but Xiao Nanzhu laughed coldly when he saw this, and put the cigarette butt between his fingers there. The leads of the firecrackers were put together, and then he raised his eyebrows and said,

"What's the matter, looking for something on the first day of the new year? Is this how you should treat your new boss, cute?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" I'm—I'm—I am the Spring Festival—"

He was so scared that his face turned pale. It was the first time in the Spring Festival that he encountered a rogue of this level, so he naturally panicked. He was afraid that Xiao Nanzhu would use the method he just did to deal with him, so for a while the expression on his face was a little aggrieved, and his eyes became red. How about the Spring Festival, I just want him to have a memory, but he is still a little curious how the Spring Festival when we met for the first time would trouble him for no reason, but after this question, he realized that the reason was still in on yourself.

Da Nian and Xiao Nian are a pair of brothers. Although people prefer to call Da Nian the Spring Festival most of the time, this does not change the temperament of the two brothers as if they were brought out of their mother's womb.

Because there are several days between them, they have never worked together. However, this brother usually has a good relationship. Xiaonian is soft to his eldest brother when he is rude to everyone. The fact that the two brothers protect each other is very clear to everyone who stays in the calendar. Therefore, Xiao Nanzhu, who indirectly caused the death of his younger brother, the baby carp, is naturally not pleasing to the eye everywhere during the Spring Festival, and then think of his baby brother Xiao. When Nian was so sad that he cried to himself because of this person, silly brother Spring Festival didn't want to give Xiao Nanzhu a good look at all.

"Don't worry, Xiao Nian! Brother will definitely vent his anger on you! Isn't he just a little Li Shi? What are you afraid of! Even if that guy comes on New Year's Eve, I'll beat your brother, not to mention him hehehehehe … ╮(╯▽╰)╭”

The things that I promised myself to my baby brother when I came out to work seem to be a bit difficult now. The Spring Festival is a little annoyed at the cowhide that I blew, and on the other hand, I hate this ignorant Xiao Nanzhu more and more. However, he died before he started his apprenticeship. Before he could kill Xiao Nanzhu to vent his anger on his younger brother, he was subdued by him three or two times. When he thought about the Spring Festival, his expression became extremely aggrieved, and he finally did it. Xiao Nanzhu, who knew what was going on, couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, didn't I buy a bastard for your brother? What else? How long does this bastard live, longevity, and the meaning is good, but I said how did you become like this, your brothers are really biological Yes, how has Xiaonian been recently..."

After figuring out the ins and outs, Xiao Nanzhu didn't bother to care about the arrogant child during the Spring Festival. He threw the two unfortunate firecrackers into the trash can. He picked up the Spring Festival lying on the ground with both hands, and pinched him by the way. White and tender little face. The Spring Festival was still secretly afraid, and when he saw that he didn't tease him, he couldn't believe it, but when Xiao Nanzhu stood up and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, he followed behind him, first sticking out from the bathroom door. Head over, and then whispered on the edge of the door frame,

"Aren't you going to blow me up... my little bird?"

"Be good and don't blow up, or you'll catch your brother out and blow up together."

Squinting his eyes vaguely, Xiao Nanzhu was shaving himself so he didn't even look at the Spring Festival. As soon as the Spring Festival heard about Xiaonian, he immediately gave Xiao Nanzhu a vigilant look, with an expression that looked so cute that he was afraid that his brother would be a big bad guy, but Xiao Nanzhu, who was wiping his face, smiled when he saw it. He smiled and snorted with his hands the pigtail that was dragging him behind his head, then said casually,

"Okay, why can't you be joking? Isn't it the first day of the new year? Will you say auspicious words, and go out with me for New Year's greetings later."

As soon as these words came out, Spring Festival glanced at Xiao Nanzhu blankly. He didn't know what the big villain meant when he said this, so his expression looked a little silly. Xiao Nanzhu didn't explain it to him. He changed his clothes and brought a gift he had bought a long time ago, and led the Spring Festival to Situ Zhang's house. When he took a taxi to the residential area where Situ Zhang's family lived, he passed through several The child who was playing gunfight on the side of the road also asked for a way to find the innermost courtyard. Situ Zhang, who was squatting at the door waiting for him early in the morning, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw him coming.

"I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't dare to go out this early in the morning! Come on, my mother is sick at home and waiting for you to come! Come in, it's cold outside!"

The loud and loud voice in his ear sounded very affectionate, Xiao Nanzhu smiled when he heard the words, and threw all the things to Situ Zhang with a wave of his hand, and took advantage of the situation to pack a cigarette from his pocket. Situ Zhang glared at him angrily, and went up to pat him on the shoulder, but when Xiao Nanzhu staggered away, he realized that behind him was a festively dressed, beautiful-looking seven- or eight-year-old boy.

"Hey, this kid..."

As soon as he saw Situ Zhang during the Spring Festival, he was startled. After all, it was really rare to see such a good-looking child except in TV dramas. Xiao Nanzhu saw his surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just used a pair of He squinted his eyes and smiled with a habitual attitude, then brought the awkward Spring Festival to his side, tilted his head and said,

"My son, like me?"

"Fuck you..."

He was so frightened that he almost choked to death, Situ Zhang almost believed what he said in an instant, his face was half green, Xiao Nanzhu burst into laughter when he saw this, and ravaged the head that was staring at him for the Spring Festival. Tun Tun explained,

"Just kidding, my friend's son, bring it here for a meal, don't you dislike it?"

"How can it be? It's too late for my parents and my mother to like them. The older ones like children, otherwise they will force me to give birth every day... But which friend of yours, alas, this child is so handsome... "

Situ Zhang was still a little curious about the origin of the Spring Festival as Situ Zhang rambled on. Xiao Nanzhu did not intend to tell the truth after a few perfunctory sentences. When he entered the yard, a middle-aged aunt in a red down jacket heard the movement and followed the trend. She stuck her head out from the kitchen, and when she saw Xiao Nanzhu, her face instantly burst into a happy smile.

"Anan!! You've grown so big!! I haven't seen you for so many years!! Come in quickly!! Drink some sugar water first, and I'll cook you a dirt egg. Have you eaten it in the morning?"

After so many years, Situ Zhang's mother was still warm and kind. When she held Xiao Nanzhu's palm, his heart became hot. Xiao Nanzhu was not polite to hear her say that at the moment. When she said something, I love you, Auntie, and got a happy smile from Auntie. When she lowered her head, Situ Zhang's mother noticed the Spring Festival standing beside Xiao Nanzhu, and as soon as she saw this white, tender and lovable God Monarch, she immediately showed a kind of pity unique to the elderly when they saw children. Surprised expression.

"Yeah! Whose baby is this? It looks so good, oh, it's not Anan's son, right? Come on, grandma will make a bag to eat, it looks so good... "

Speaking of which, Situ Zhang's mother immediately took out a pink paper-wrapped jade belt cake from the pocket of her apron. This is a kind of small cake that ordinary people give to juniors during the New Year's Eve. Usually, a fifty or one piece of cake is wrapped in the paper bag. Hundred bucks. This money is not much, but it is also a part of the elders' affection for the children, and it is considered an old habit in Chinese traditional customs.

And Xiao Nanzhu naturally wanted to stop her when she saw that she was going to pay the New Year's money for the Spring Festival. After all, the Spring Festival's age might be older than their whole room combined, so it was definitely inappropriate for Situ Zhang's mother to give him the New Year's money, but Situ Zhang's mother took his actions as polite, and insisted on letting the Spring Festival continue. Even if she knew that the Spring Festival was not Xiao Nanzhu's son, she refused to take back the red envelopes, and Xiao Nanzhu, who was completely helpless, could only compromise. He touched the head of the Spring Festival, and then leaned into his ear and whispered,

"If you don't say thank you for taking other people's things, please give them a New Year."

Xiao Nanzhu's words made the Spring Festival, who had been a little silent since the beginning, blink his eyes and look down at the small cake in his hand. He looked at the kind and kind old woman in front of him and felt a little strange in his heart. Warmth may be because he has not been in touch with human life for too long. As a lonely and long-lived calendar god, the Spring Festival himself actually yearns for this noisy festival atmosphere, so at this moment when Xiao Nanzhu brings him here When he was an ordinary person, he didn't have any resentment or rejection, but he liked it unexpectedly. When he thought about it, he noticed that this old woman had been slow since the beginning, and the Spring Festival with a hard breath raised her head naively. 's opening.

"Grandma, I wish you good health and long life in the coming year, and a happy new year~"
