(Two-in-one chapter, with additional update 2/10 for the leader of the Bloody Knights)
Question: What do Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve have in common
Hmm. The smell of gunpowder is very strong.
On New Year's Eve, Erwei was woken up early in the morning by the sound of firecrackers.
Obviously, the shooting of cannons is not prohibited in the community. If this is the case in the morning, then there is no need to think about it in the evening. There will definitely be a barrage of artillery fire.
Erwei got up from Jiang Xiao's bed and looked downstairs. Several children wearing thick down jackets were jumping around the community chasing each other. Their little faces were red from the cold, and their innocent smiles were indeed Very healing.
Jiang Xiao's hometown is full of Chinese New Year. The sound of firecrackers almost never stopped throughout the whole day, until nightfall, the roaring sound of firecrackers gradually reached its climax.
On this day, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue were busy making everything in their home look brand new. Jiang Xiao had carefully cleaned the bed sheets and quilts, but it seemed that he had done nothing in vain, so Han Jiangxue donated them all to the property owner who swept the corridors.
Chinese red,
It is a magical color that symbolizes loyalty and unyielding on the battlefield, and always makes people feel festive and peaceful on New Year's Eve.
As the Chinese Gala began, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue also moved the dining table in the kitchen to the living room. After Jiang Xiao washed his hands, he took the dumpling fillings and wrappers from the refrigerator and placed them on the dining table.
He once went back to the kitchen to get a bag of flour and sprinkled it on the panel in a decent manner. Not only did he block the TV, but he also kept staring at Erwei who was slumped on the sofa.
Erwei glared at Jiang Xiao angrily, but finally stood up, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, walked back to the living room, kicked a stool over, sat at the table, and picked up a dumpling wrapper in one hand. .
Han Jiangxue obviously felt the silent battle, and smiled secretly in her heart, but did not dare to show anything on her face. After all, she was not Jiang Xiao, and she was not that familiar with Erwei. She went back to the kitchen to pick vegetables.
Seeing Erwei coming to make dumplings obediently, Jiang Xiao also moved away, watching the gala while awkwardly making dumplings.
Erwei said: "I heard the conversation between you and Han Jiangxue this morning."
Jiang Xiao: "Ah."
Erwei said: "You don't need to buy me a gift, I don't like it."
Jiang Xiao: "Then I will give you lucky money? You still have to dodge, and I have to force it into your hand. You can't push too hard, and I can't give you too little force. I have to give it back and forth several times before you can Accept it, how much trouble would that be?”
Second tail: "."
Jiang Xiao's movements suddenly stopped, looking at the "little buns" made by Erwei, and said: "Can you not only make fish and meat fillings? Isn't the one with cabbage and pork delicious? Chives and eggs are suitable for both men and women. They are a must-have." Prepare good medicine.”
Erwei: "Shut up."
Jiang Xiao: "Oh"
While Jiang Xiao was making dumplings and watching the scenes of singing and dancing on TV, he suddenly remembered a lyric.
"In my dream, flowers bloom in the Peony Pavilion, and my fantasy comes true, with singing and dancing leading to peace~"
Erwei: "Huh?"
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's interesting is that this kind of lyrics was actually written by a person in the world."
Erwei: "This fantasy may not come true."
Jiang Xiao: "What?"
Erwei: "When you truly become a soldier, you will be exposed to some information that ordinary people don't know."
Jiang Xiao: "For example?"
Erwei pinched out a small bun again and said: "For example, 2116 was more turbulent than 2115. Nationwide, the total number of different dimensions opened increased by 27% year-on-year."
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "The Great Northwest Front must have contributed a lot of data."
Erwei nodded, but said: "The situation will only get worse this year. The Northwest Front was moved from the outside. In 2014 and 15, Central Asia has been at war, but you were at home and didn't pay attention.
This year, the front has moved to DJI Province. According to the trend of the past few years, this front will continue to move eastward. "
Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "The battle front has been pushed over. Is Central Asia stable?"
Erwei shook his head and said: "No, just like our DJI province, it is just no longer opened frequently. But compared to before, the opening frequency of different dimensional spaces has been greatly increased."
Jiang Xiao was silent for a while and then said: "Forget about this for now. Now, enjoy this moment. Try to squeeze the bun in your hand as flat as possible."
Erwei looked down at the buns he had just squeezed in his hands and frowned slightly.
She was praised for being a steamed bun, just a stuffed dough ball.
"Hehe." Jiang Xiao chuckled, ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, and took out his phone to take a picture of Erwei.
In the photo, she frowned and looked at the little bun in her hand, looking disgusted.
The two of them barely made a plate of dumplings. Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "Will you come downstairs with me and let the fireworks go?"
Erwei shook his head.
Jiang Xiao continued: "It's windy outside, making it difficult to light a fire. You have fire star skills."
Erwei: "Let your sister go with you."
Jiang Xiao said with a smile: "I know how to cook, do you know how to do it? Put on your clothes and come with me."
Erwei: "I won't go."
Seeing how lazy she was, Jiang Xiao was helpless: "Okay, I'll go downstairs and ask someone for a cigarette."
Han Jiangxue, who had just come out of the kitchen with a plate of dumplings, was stunned for a moment and said coldly: "How dare you!"
Five minutes later, Jiang Xiao and Erwei each held a hanging whip and pressed the elevator button.
Walking out of the corridor, Jiang Xiao wrapped herself in a thick down jacket, stepped on the solid snow, and placed two firecrackers facing the door of her unit, placing them neatly.
Erwei stepped forward, ignited flames in his hands, and flicked down. Then, the figure instantly became atomized and floated back.
Jiang Xiao also hurriedly ran back to the corridor of the unit, watching helplessly as a white mist filled the air, like a demonic wind.
Crackling! Crackling!
Erwei listened to the sound of firecrackers nearby. Although she was unwilling to participate in actions and always refused in words, it was undeniable that this was the first time in many years that she had experienced such a warm and cozy festival.
He was right, it was such a trivial thing that one day in the future would become a beautiful scene for her to recall, and it would also be a beautiful embellishment in her cold career.
She looked down at Jiang Xiao and said, "I also prepared a gift for you."
Firecrackers crackled outside the door, and Jiang Xiao shouted loudly: "What did you say?"
Erwei repeated: "I said, I also prepared a gift for you."
Jiang Xiao said helplessly: "Please speak louder, I can't hear you!"
Erwei frowned and said to Jiang Xiao, "Forget it."
At this moment, hundreds of firecrackers were set off, and Erwei's clear words echoed in the corridor.
Jiang Xiao: "."
When the master and apprentice returned home, Han Jiangxue was carrying cooked dumplings and placing them on plates in the living room, and happened to see Jiang Xiao's dejected look.
What's happening here
Why are you so dejected after setting off firecrackers? Is this being trained
The three of them were sitting around the dining table in the living room, with the siblings sitting on the sides, and Erwei sitting in the main seat, facing the TV.
Xiao Jiangxue's cooking skills are pretty good, and she is good at home-cooked dishes. She has two plates of cooked food, home-cooked cold dishes, cold jelly, sweet and sour pork ribs, leek and shrimp, spicy fried clams, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and braised fish.
This is a relatively traditional Beijiang New Year's Eve dinner. It's all big fish and meat, and vegetarian dishes are rare. The Star Warrior is a little better. If ordinary people eat like this, are they afraid of cardiovascular disease and not coming to visit
It is indeed a bit large for three people to eat, but as a New Year's Eve dinner, it has to be a large amount.
Jiang Xiao has already predicted what he will eat in the first and second grade of junior high school.
Eh
No, there is a Xiaoxiao in the Shadow Ruins!
After a while, I will bring all the leftovers to him.
Han Jiangxue took out a mineral water bottle from under the table and poured Erwei a drink.
Erwei didn't need to lower her head, she could already smell the spicy smell, so she picked up the wine glass and drank half of it without being polite.
Although she never showed anything, it seems that she must be in a good mood now.
Han Jiangxue misunderstood Jiang Xiao's meaning and said, "What are you looking at? Mineral water."
Jiang Xiao was happy and said: "This mineral water is a bit interesting, it's still sticky."
Han Jiangxue smiled and rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiao, then motioned to the juice on his desk.
The threesome were having a great time, eating a lot of food. For these two girls, there is no such thing as losing weight, and they both eat a lot. Since they are star warriors, they train all year round and consume a lot of physical energy. Food is the most important thing. Main source of energy.
The trio chatted happily while watching TV. Erwei drank two cups of tea, and his cold face was stained with a layer of blush.
Han Jiangxue saw that it was getting late, so she got up and went to the kitchen to cook dumplings.
Erwei also stood up and left. Jiang Xiao was chewing on the duck neck while watching the singing and dancing.
The king of sketches is getting old and has not appeared for many years. The prime time at 23 o'clock has been replaced by singing and dancing.
While Jiang Xiao was secretly feeling regretful, he saw Erwei staggering back and placing a small red square box on the table in front of Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao knew such a small square box. It seemed to be an unspoken rule in this world. When people gave away star beads, they would use this small box as a container, which always gave people the feeling of a proposal.
Especially at the award ceremony, Jiang Xiao experienced three awards in his senior year of high school.
Every time a beautiful etiquette lady walked up to him carrying a plate with a small red square box on it, Jiang Xiao had the urge to reject them.
Jiang Xiao opened the small red square box and saw 1, 2, and 317 star beads inside.
"The earth hibiscus is the star bead." Erwei drank up the wine in the glass, closed her eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbid air. The spicy simmer was like a flame, burning all the way down her throat. She liked this feeling. .
Han Jiangxue came back with the cooked dumplings, placed two plates of strange-shaped dumplings on the table, and fixed her eyes on the small square box in Jiang Xiao's hand.
Jiang Xiao was slightly moved, she still remembered this.
No, when did she get the Star Bead? She has been at home these days. Oh, by the way, the day the two came back from the volcano, she left without saying goodbye and didn't come back until three in the afternoon the next day.
At that time, she should have gone to get the Star Bead.
Under Han Jiangxue's gaze, Jiang Xiao stood up quickly and said, "I've also prepared a New Year's gift for you."
With that said, Jiang Xiao ran back to the master bedroom. Since Han Jiangxue came back, the big cat has occupied his cabin again, so Jiang Xiao has been sleeping in the master bedroom.
The place had long been transformed into a training room. There wasn't even a bed, so Jiang Xiao could only make a bed on the floor.
Jiang Xiao took out a "tip bag" from the cabinet and walked back to the living room.
The two looked at each other, and Han Jiangxue was also quite curious as to what exactly this boy had prepared for his master.
Jiang Xiao handed the tip bag to Erwei, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a cooked bun, and said, "See if you like it."
Erwei took the brocade bag and weighed it and found that it was very light. She couldn't help but be curious. When she opened the brocade bag, she saw a long dark red rope. The rope was beautifully woven and seemed to be hand-woven.
Han Jiangxue didn't know what to say, 17 star beads compared to a hairband.
What's even more terrifying is that Erwei actually likes her very much.
Taking advantage of Erwei's good mood, Jiang Xiao suggested: "After dinner, let's go give Xiaoxiao something to eat."
Erwei nodded immediately, got up and went to the bathroom.
Jiang Xiao could imagine that the way she tied her ponytail in front of the mirror might be the effect of alcohol, which made her act even more outrageous. Just as Jiang Xiao said, she was not as numb as she imagined.
Han Jiangxue saw the power of the gift, and her doubts at first turned into appreciation.
As the bell rings at zero o'clock, the Year of the Monkey in Bingshen leaves and the Year of the Rooster in Dingyou arrives.
The two siblings packed up the dishes and packed up the remaining dishes. Han Jiangxue cooked all the remaining dumplings and handed them to Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao and Erwei got dressed and went downstairs. In the spacious corner behind the unit building, they opened the Ruins of Shadow of Disaster, and their figures disappeared instantly.
Everything went as Jiang Xiao expected. In his Ruins of Shadow of Disaster, every day was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
The 14 lava ghost witches were fighting fiercely, and Xiao Xiao was huddled in the corner, closing his eyes to rest.
It keenly felt a change, raised its head, and saw its master and Jiang Xiao arriving.
Xiaoxiao stood up in a hurry. If his master knew that he was being lazy here, he might not get any good results.
Jiang Xiao walked towards Xiaoxiao carrying two large bags of dishes and dumplings, but found snack bags all over the floor. Then he was secretly annoyed and thought that he would bring some snacks next time.
It looks like a horse in its small appearance, but it is essentially a creature from another dimension. It eats raw meat and drinks raw blood. It also accepts human dishes.
It seemed to be less interested in the dishes cooked by Han Jiangxue himself, but it was particularly fond of the cooked food, especially the cooked beef, and devoured it in two or three bites.
The strange-shaped dumplings made by Jiang Xiao and Erwei were also wiped away by Xiaoxiao. He was so happy eating that he felt so comfortable that he even spread his wings. He kept rubbing his huge head against Jiang Xiao's face, which was so cute.
Jiang Xiao smiled and stroked its face, and kept feeding it.
In the distance, Erwei's voice came: "Try it."
Jiang Xiao turned around and threw out two countercurrent lights, aiming at one of the lava ghost witches who was recuperating.
The lava ghost witch's body visibly trembled, but after a few seconds, he returned to calmness. He just quietly enjoyed the large amount of star power washing through his body, and had no intention of evolving beyond the level.
Jiang Xiao picked two more lava ghost witches to test, and found that the conditions were the same. It seemed that they were not qualified.
Erwei was in a good mood and said: "Keep it up, you will succeed one day, let's go."
Jiang Xiao patted his little head gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will bring you snacks in a few days."
Xiaoxiao suddenly raised his head and screamed in joy, almost knocking Jiang Xiao over.
Jiang Xiao picked up snack packaging bags everywhere, packed them and took them out. When he returned home, he saw Xiao Jiangxue waiting for their return.
Jiang Xiao said: "Go to bed quickly, it's very late."
This year, the three of them lived very happily.
When Han Jiangxue walked back to her room, she found a bag of tips on her desk.
When did he put it here? Is it when you are getting the head rope for Erwei
Han Jiangxue stepped forward quickly, opened the kit, and found that there was a small doll inside
The little doll is in the Q version style, and is holding a dark blue scepter in its hand. It looks like it is using the golden star skill, the dark blue scepter.
Is this herself
Is this a product for the National League Champions? So cute, but... don't they need my authorization
What kind of gift is this
Do you want me to hang my own doll on my phone or key chain
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door, and Han Jiangxue turned to look.
But he saw Jiang Xiao with an embarrassed look on his face, holding another brocade bag in his hand, and said, "I took it by mistake. That was given to me as a gift, and this one is yours."
Han Jiangxue rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiao angrily, took the kit, opened it, and saw a small round figure with a giant blade in his hand and a grin on his face.
Jiang Xiao said weakly: "Give me yours."
Han Jiangxue glanced at Jiang Xiao and said, "Confiscated."
With that said, Han Jiangxue hung the two Q-version mini-dolls on her phone case.
Jiang Xiao curled his lips, turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him.
After the door is closed,
Jiang Xiao clenched his fist fiercely: Yes!
